Try to bear with me. This new chapter is really confusing. The Unknown POV (point of view) is my new character. She will be revealed at the end of the story. Her techniques are in no way related to the First Hokage's. She is not epically strong. The technique she uses will be explained in a later chapter. Until then...ENJOY!
UNKNOWN POV
The shadows suited her well. She didn't enjoy being the center of attention. She eyed the two men who carried the woman away, with a large amount of malice. They had attacked when she had been least suspecting and mostly defenseless. She gritted her teeth, before sighing. So the mission that had originally started as escort duty had turned into a rescue mission. Not that she complained too much. She always enjoyed the chance to test out her skills. She relished fair fights. As one turned in her direction, she faded from view, waiting for the man to seek her out. Instead, she was rewarded with their departure, which was rather hasty.
"Awww," she complained, with a small pout forming on her lips. She had silently been crossing her fingers, with the intent that she might be found out. Instead, they had left her alone. Grabbing the scroll which she kept on her wrists, she flicked one out, biting into her thumb.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Technique)
In a poof of smoke, her friend appeared, glancing up at her with large eyes.
"It's been awhile mistress…My apologies for not reporting my findings on-"
"Yeah, yeah. Shut up, and listen," the owner stated, obviously annoyed.
"As you wish." The fox stated.
"We have a problem. One that I need your help with. The guest of honor has turned up missing, and now we have no choice but to rescue her. So that being said, get to sniffing."
She sat down, and started formulating her plan of attack, watching the fox follow out her orders with little to no complaint. Reaching into her back pocket she grabbed a peach, taking a bite of her breakfast, bitterly. She'd been waiting for the past week, with little to nothing to eat. The Mizukage had grown tireless of waiting on a report. And now it seemed the situation had turned for the worst. She was known to be a bit of a fuck up when it came to missions, but certain tasks were her specialty. The woman took another bite, letting the juices settle on her tender lips, which pressed into a thin line. She took another look at her line of attack. It would be so quick, and so fierce, yet the enemy would be too focused on her attack they would not have time to counter attack. She would be in and out in the blink of an eye...or so she hoped.
She let herself smile a little, touching the scar on her wrists. Yes…carelessness would not do for this mission.
YUKI POV
The past couple days seemed to pass in a year. Her body was beyond relief or help. It was devastated by the constant drain on her strength. She awoke once or twice only to be pulled back into the depths of unconsciousness. The constant burning agony which filled every inch of her, made time slip by at an exorbitantly slow rate. Inside her head she screamed for relief, and fought the bonds which held her. She begged for time to pass by faster, yet time had no meaning in the lightless void she found herself wandering alone. Perhaps this is hell, she pondered. Perhaps this is punishment for deserting the love of my life.
Yuki waited for the moment when she would cease to feel, and cease to breathe, but it never came. As long as she was a valid source of chakra, she would be used consistently. As she wandered the darkness, a feeling emanated from the back of her head, one that she had not felt in such a long time, she failed to realize what it was. She questioned it many times, only to be pushed away. And like that, abruptly, she woke up, to find Kabuto staring at her.
"Hmmm. It seems your body is healing your hypothalamus, which is creating an actual sleep cycle. The chakra I need for my technique I already have taken from you. Your a waste of space... it seems that I get to kill you."
A whirl of orange appeared behind Kabuto, and Yuki turned her head to watch Tobi reach for her.
Well...it's been a great run. Sorry Akira-koi. I love you and Naruto both. But this is the-
UNKNOWN POV
She stared at the two, and watched the younger girl with rapt attention. Her head was hung in resignation which ignited a fury in her. The pair failed to see her from her hiding position. She cracked the knuckles in her hand, and initiated the first jutsu of her plan.
"Doton:Kakusareta Shīzu Gijutsu ( Earth Release: Hidden Seed Technique)" she whispered, forming the seals in order. As she clapped her hands together, she dropped down, dashing towards Kabuto, who saw her immediately.
"Too slow."
As his smile spread, she closed the gap, and stopped just short of him, pulling her hands apart.
"Gotchya," she replied. In an instant the air became full of dandelion-like seeds, preventing her opponents from seeing out. As they jumped away from her technique, she was there, grabbing her 'package' from Kabuto, landing on a nearby tree branch. Forming a half seal, she put the girl back to sleep, placing her on her back.
"Here they come." She jumped skywards, turning to face the orange masked freak, in a single effortless movement. She closed her eyes and formed serpent, leaning backwards as a giant snake attempted to swallow where she had been a second ago. She pulled out a kunai, and slammed it into the summon, and pushing off, heading for home.
They'll pursue me unless I reach the village before them. So that being said...
She landed gently, putting a finger to her passenger's throat. The pulse was faint, but steady.
"Hang in there. I got you...nothing will happen to you. I promise."
She tucked her chin as one of her opponents tried to grab her throat, and twisted out of his grasp, throwing a kick which started to phase through.
Nice try but...
She shifted slightly, and her foot made complete contact, sending him flying away from her. She landed on the ground, and turned to face her next opponent. His chakra signature was different from the others, formed by two different people residing in a single body. She glanced at her opponent, noticing that his movements were slowing down. The seeds she had used earlier were special. Once an opponent was touched by them, their bodies betrayed them, becoming petrified into wood..
Interesting. But nonetheless...futile!
She avoided his chakra blade, tapping his hand away, and forming a water blade out of nothing. She slashed upwards, missing him by a millimeter, as he swung again.
"Die."
She felt herself start to be pulled into a vortex from behind and immediately set her body. The pull was great, but her current technique could hold against it. The pull stopped after about fifteen seconds, and the man shifted. She flipped over him, landing on his shoulders, before releasing the trap she had prepared three hours before she had initiated the first technique.
"Crescent Moon Trap."
She sliced a single thread, and retreated rapidly, watching the chakra threads she had created all shrink towards her. Her chakra signature was the basis for the technique so she was free to run through them without being cut or hurt. Her opponents on the other hand wouldn't be so lucky.
She increased her speed, and glanced as the trap receded behind her. The thread she had created was over fifty miles wide. The thread was really powerful but the main issue was that it had taken her seven years to create just that one strand.
"All well. At least I'll get home in time for dinner," she said, wiping a drop of sweat from her forehead. She opened her eyes, releasing the jutsu she had placed on herself. She glanced at the sleeping girl on her back. Two hollow points leaked a black liquid which sent the woman's heart racing. Poison? She sped up with everything she had, reflecting on the woman on her back.
It had been a long time since seen those eyes and that hair. A long time indeed.
MIZUKAGE'S OFFICE
She'd arrived at the Mizukage's office with no pursuit from her opponents, and so she was relieved by that. She'd given her entire mission report to the woman who stood over her. Missions came and went. Life wasn't about fun or anything other than completing the mission and moving on.
"Well...I shouldn't expect any less from you. I doubt you'd have let that pair disappear with someone so job."
She acknowledged the Mizukage's praise with a bowed head, and kept on her knee awaiting the inescapable orders to the battlefield. She gritted her teeth, and a single tear dropped. She wouldn't be allowed to see the girl after going through all the trouble of retrieving her. It made sense that she should be helping the Allied Shinobi Forces against the invading forces. The Fourth Shinobi War had just started, and already things had turned for the worst. Reports of previously dead shinobi returning to haunt the battlefield filled the air. She had seen them for herself. She'd only been pulled from combat, to accomplish this mission. And now that it was over-
"Kazuyo. Are you listening?"
"My apologies," she replied, through bared teeth.
"Kazuyo!"
The harshness reminded the woman of her place.
"Your orders...as I JUST SAID...are to stay with that girl. Ensure she recovers, and when the time comes, provide the information I myself cannot. Understood?"
She chanced a glance up at the Mizukage whose eyes were filled with humor. It took her a moment to recover before she spoke, confused.
"Miz-"
"Kazuyo. You have your orders. I won't lecture you. But...you don't have to hide your emotions so much. We are not robots. We're human beings. In the twenty four years I've known you, you have never smiled, cried or even shown a single emotion. You know...I hear some of the men say that you'd cut off their balls if they even tried talking to you?"
The statement almost caused the woman to lash out at the wall in rage, but she held it down. Years of disclipine reminded her that she could not show emotion. She was a shinobi first. Than a woman.
"Look...go to your duties. I won't keep you. Just keep what I said in mind."
She nodded vanishing from sight in a small cloud of smoke.
YUKI POV
The Jounin came to in a small white room, which was void of anything. She winced as the lights from the room, reflected off her IV drop. Her parched mouth only made things worst. Her surroundings were unfamiliar, and she couldn't remember a single thing from the moment of her capture. After Madara had attempted to kill her, things had gone black. She yanked the needle out of her skin, and ripped cables from her body. She twisted out of the bed she lay on, and jumped down, her feet sliding on the cold tiles. She caught herself on the arm of the bed, wincing. Her body was still extremely weak. Too weak to run from her current situation. A searing pain shot through her head, and she winced in agony.
"What do you think you're doing?"
The coldness of the voice, caused Yuki to turn, in fear. Her eyes settled on the woman before her. Shoulder length sandy blonde hair fell around a face which was beautifully angry. Jade green eyes met her own. Before she could retort, the woman was pushing her back into bed, albeit more gently than the words that had been spat at her.
"Th-thanks," the Hazukasii replied, bowing her head.
"Don't thank me. How are you feeling?"
She glanced up into the woman's features, which were devoid of emotion. She couldn't understand it but something seemed familiar. Something she had seen somewhere. The face shifted away. Yuki observed the woman's movement. She took in her appearence. She wore a maroon dress which stopped a little after her knee with a large black band covering her waist. The white high heels added to her seductive appearance. A large ninja pouch hung on a single black ribbon which flowed downwards. She turned to her face her. Yuki followed the band which turned out to be a single headband. Two long sleeves protruded from the short sleeves of the girls dress. To finish her appearence off, two bright blue emeralds hung from each ear.
"I've been...better," she replied lying back down.
"Is your name... I mean...are you...Yuki Hazukashii?"
Yuki glanced up and noticed that the woman was staring at her curious.
"Ye-yes," she replied, weakened.
"Yuki-chan? Can it be...so... long?"
The familiarity the woman said her name with caused the kunoichi a great amount of discomfort.
"Who are you?" she said, wincing as speaking, sent another wave of pain through her head.
"Do you know how long I've waited? How many days I've waited to meet you? You're alive, and here. God...If I could only explain how much I love you-"
"WHO ARE YOU?" she shouted, starting to get up.
"W-wait. Look...I'm not used to this." the woman said, sitting down on a nearby chair. The room remained quiet for a minute. Yuki stared at the woman, whose gaze was fixated on her hands.
"Well? Are you going to answer my question?" Yuki demanded.
The woman shook her head as if contemplating what to say.
"My name? My name is ...Kazuyo...Kazuyo Hazukashii. I am your sister Yuki-chan."
