"I will whip up some medicines to help." Renjiro said. "The lake must have contaminated you."

"Huh? Exactly what do you mean, Renjiro." said my father. "If you knew it was contaminated, then why did you-!"

My dad went to punch him, but he caught his fist… but how? My dad was the fastest shinobi alive!

"Daddy, no!" I said as I coughed.

"Stop or I will kill you." said Renjiro looking to him darkly.

My dad backed down. "I'll give you a chance to explain yourself!"

Renjiro looked serious. "The virus in the lake only contracts to females… either you give me the time to prepare an antidote, or she dies. That's a threat."

"You... you can't-" said my dad, clenching his fists and looking down with shades under his eyes.

"I can give her immunity, goddammit… 99.99% of all people who get this don't die or even get sick from it. Especially males. That's why I let my daughters play in the lake, because unless you have certain genes, such as blond hair or blue eyes, which none of my daughters have, they won't contract the virus." said Renjiro as he shook his head.

"How can you give her immunity you fool? She's dying!" said my dad, going to punch him again. My dad was blocked once again. "How do keep doing that! How dare you! There's something that you're not telling us."

"I used to be a ninja. I died to a Konoha ninja when it was 72 years in the forces of Iwa that I was brought back to life by my master and former foe. I use this technique called 'forever reincarnation' so I never age."

Then his, I mean, her skin started to change, and a girl that looked about 21 and youthful as ever became visible to us. She was short, had a sly, yet soft face, and had long, black locks.

"EWW! So, you're not Renjiro!? If you're a woman, then how did you have children with another woman?" I said, not understanding that crucial factor.

"When I found my wife, at first, I lied to her. I lead her to her death and she became my eternal partner." she said in a matter-o-fact tone. "Yes my wife is a corpse, just like me. We adopted 3 girls, 2 of them related to each other, but that's unimportant." said the woman. "Let me make that antidote for you." she said, turning back into Renjiro.

"So, you want to help me?" I said.

"Yes, I will help you as long as you let me leave with my family. I will make you an antidote. I am a rouge nin after all, so put any sort of bounty on me I'll get away with things for as long as I can."

"Show me your medicine cabinet where you keep your materials and your lab where you will make this elixir." said my father.

"Alright, but be warned about what you'll see."

My dad came back hours later with the elixir looking like he had just seen a horror story. The woman who posed as Renjiro had already left. I could tell by the look on his face.

"She succeeded… something he could never do as well as her, sweetheart." said my father sadly; he looked to me with a terrible expression of grief.

"Who's he?"

"Orochimaru, the Sannin that betrayed the village. She's far more powerful than him in the sense that her studies in reanimating the dead were so… horrible." He handed the amber liquid to me and said, "Drink."

"You mean, like, the Orochimaru? And she was someone even worse?" I said, starting to tear up at the loss of all those people. I just knew he saw many bodies in the lab and maybe there were even live ones...

My dad didn't let go of the flask, as if I should hold off on drinking just yet.

He nodded. "She may be a threat one day, but I'll make it my life's goal to find her with the help of friends… she is the one I've been searching for so long."

"What do you mean?"

"There's an alliance of elites that I belong to, hidden across the worlds. She betrayed the alliance long ago…" my dad had said to me as he looked more grave than ever, "All you need to know is that the alliance is hidden and only meets to bring wars to a close with other alliances. That was our main goal anyway. They're an alliance for alliances, if you will. Every war we had to this date has been closed with our power. I am a proud leader."

"Should I drink now?"

"I don't know how you're going to react to it, but it might come close to killing you for a little while. Also… look at me now sweety." said my dad as I looked back to him with frightened eyes, "Those girls you met and their mother are all dead… including the woman who posed as Renjiro. They were all reanimated corpses. But know you will never die before you're ready because of some illness. Drink…"

I drank and heard the many screams of girls… little ones, big ones, and even women! That's when I heard the breaking of glass and the faint cries of my father.

I… I didn't know why he was crying! Why was he crying…?

Things got even weirder after that…
