Bloodstained Death Goddess

Chapter 1: Enter the Blind Goddess

Konohagakure, Hokage's Office. 2 Weeks before the Chunin exams.

Hiruzen Sarutobi the Sandaime Hokage blows smoke out of his mouth after puffing on his pipe, he looks to his advisors Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. He sighs "So it is agreed, we will have the 'Chimamire no Shi no Megami' (Bloodstained Death Goddess) proctor the first and third events" Koharu and Homura nod.

Danzo sighs "Are we that desperate?"

Hiruzen just looks at Danzo "Unfortunately yes, Jiraiya has uncovered evidence of Orochimaru's plans to invade us. The 'Chimamire no Shi no Megami' is the only person he fears, and with good reason" Danzo concedes the argument and gives his agreement to the plan.

4 Days later, the Gates of Konohagakure

At the gates to Konohagakure there is a most amazing sight, one that can never be seen in other villages. That sight is the Gatekeepers, while all of the villages have them in one format or another. Konoha is the only village to have dedicated gatekeepers that only watch the gates, the average length of this assignment is a decade. Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki are the current gatekeepers.

On a day that is unremarkable from any other they sit and watch the gates, they had been informed that a special guest was coming and they knew the Chunin exams were less than a fortnight away. However they are still surprised when they hear the scrape and grating sound of a blade on stone. They walk out of their gatekeeper's stand and look out the gates only to be greeted with a most terrifying sight.

Walking towards the village is a young person, they cannot tell the person's gender easily due to the fact the person in question is wearing a loose red stained battle kimono that looks like it was originally white. The edges of the kimono are frayed and have holes in them, wrapped around the persons arms are red ribbons that have splotches of white here and there on them. Chakra conductive gloves cover the person's hands and a facemask similar to the one worn by Kakashi Hatake covers the person's nose and mouth, the person's eyes are covered by a thick red silk blindfold that has something written on it. Long red hair flares out from the person's head and reaches their waist, woven into the hair are spikes and shurikens, if this person were to spin on the spot anyone close to them would be injured by their hair.

As the person gets closer Izumo and Kotetsu notice more, in her hand is a unsheathed blade that is scraping along the ground. Ordinarily this would result in the blade being dulled constantly, however this is no ordinary blade, this blade is the 'Kusanagi no Tsurugi'. Immediately Kotetsu and Izumo know who this is, only one person would be wielding that sword and that person is 'Chimamire no Shi no Megami'. According to rumor she fought Orochimaru to a standstill, in the end he managed to escape but lost his sword. Rumor further states that Orochimaru is too terrified of this woman to attempt to reclaim his sword, especially since in his first battle with her he was fully rested and she had just wiped out nearly twenty A-ranked missing nin. Everyone knew that in a fight where 'Chimamire no Shi no Megami' was not handicapped, Orochimaru would lose and lose hard.

Being the braver of the two Kotetsu clears his throat and says "Excuse me, but may I have you name and reason for visit"

The woman despite being blind focuses on him before nodding, in a voice that is both sharp as glass and cold as a blizzard she answers "My name is Aki Shinojixyoou (Shi No Jixyoou - Death's Mistress) and my reason for visiting is business, may I have directions to the Hokage's Tower, he is expecting me" Kotetsu nods.

"Sure it's just down this street, when you see the big red building with the Kanji for 'Fire' on it you're there" Aki nods and walks down the street Kotetsu pointed out.

Kotetsu and Izumo nod to each other and then start filling out the paperwork for her visit.

Hokage's Tower, Five minutes later

Normally the Hokage's Tower is a hub of people coming and going, however the moment Aki walks in everyone stops. Aki looks at the terrified faces of the people in the Hokage's Tower before she heads upstairs to the Hokage's Office.

The Secretary outside the office attempts to bar her way, only to back down when Aki glares at him through her blindfold. Aki opens the door to sense the elderly Sandaime Hokage speaking with one of his genin teams, consisting of a young girl in a oversized jacket, a boy in a fur-lined hoodie with a puppy and another boy in a large trench coat with glasses, all of the genin bear scratch marks and the young girl is holding a cat, next to them a woman in white dress wraps with a black pattern is reporting. Aki smiles, she recognizes the woman from the Bingo Book, Kurenai Yūhi, A-Rank Jounin, Konoha's Genjutsu Mistress and Ice Queen. Bounty 1 Million Ryo Alive, half that dead.

The genin team appears to be reporting on some mission to capture a cat, now other people would have snickered at this, not Aki. Aki doesn't laugh for one simple reason, she helped train Tora and knows what he's capable of. Suddenly Tora breaks loose and tries to run only for Aki to calmly reach down and pick him up. The genin team and their Jounin leader jump, they hadn't realized there was someone behind them. Aki shakes her head. Aki hands Tora back over to the young girl and says "Next time keep a tight grip on him, Tora's very slippery" Aki smiles under her mask "I should know, I helped train him" Suddenly Aki is bombarded with Killing Intent from the three genins, Aki just shrugs and flares her own causing the three to go wide eyed and the one with sunglasses to lose them "Nice try, but not yet at my level" Aki faces the Hokage "I assume a place for me to stay has been arranged?" the Hokage nods "Then would you please give me the address and the location of the events I am to Proctor" The Hokage hands her several pieces of paper and a key ring. When Aki gets the key she looks at him and says "This doesn't look like an apartment key ring"

Hiruzen nods "It's not, for the services you are providing us, we are giving you a house in Konoha that you will not need to pay tax or utilities for"

Aki nods "Thank you Hokage, It would be nice to have a place to return to that I don't have to guard" Aki then walks back out the door, smiling as she hears the Jounin ask the Hokage why Aki was here.

10 Days later, Academy. Room 301

Aki walks into the Chunin first event room, as she does everyone shuts up. The Konoha ninja may not know of her but the rest of the villages do. Even Gaara the insane Jinchūriki from Suna is terrified of her. Aki smiles, then frowns as a genin with an Uchiha fan symbol on his back smirks "Something funny Genin" The extra cold tone and the emphasis on genin, makes the genin from the other villages quickly retreat.

The boy frowns and says "Who the hell are you? Don't you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!" Sasuke Uchiha refused to believe a girl his age could be a superior.

Aki smiles, but it is not a nice smile, no it is a smile that promises pain for the one viewing it, unfortunately for Sasuke she is wearing a mask and he is unable to see the smile. "I? I am the exam proctor, I am 'Chimamire no Shi no Megami', I am Aki Shinojixyoou, I am the bloody bitch who has killed A-Rank and S-Rank nins without trouble" Aki holds up her sword, a Kusa Kunoichi then shifts back from Aki "You see this sword, this is the 'Kusanagi no Tsurugi' This is the blade of Orochimaru, I got this by beating him hard enough to make him retreat after having overwhelmed and slaying 20 A-Rank missing nins right beforehand, I am the SS-Rank Bingo Book Kunoichi with a 'Flee on Sight, Do not Engage' warning. To you a simple genin, I am God, I am the Devil, I am the one who can kick you out from this exam, and will do so happily if you give me a reason"

The boy scoffs and Aki's eyes narrow "I doubt it, you're just boasting to make yourself look good, only a Uchiha could have done the things you said. Don't act like someone with power, I am Sasuke Uchiha and I can have you life ruined" Aki upon hearing the name smiles, a smile so dark it shows itself through her mask causing the rest of the genin flee to the corners of the room and cower.

"Oh, so you're the little brat whose brother couldn't be bothered killing. Such a shame, you've wasted your life if this is the best you can do" Aki then blurs and is no behind Sasuke holding her blade to his throat "You are pathetic, as is you clan. Do you want to know a secret? Your clan elders begged for their pathetic lives" Sasuke's eyes widen.

"How the hell do you know that? Tell me!" Aki slightly nicks his neck.

"Temper, Temper" Aki tuts, and then she pushes her body against his back "And I know this because I was there, I didn't kill any of your clan if that is what you are thinking. I just watched as they were cut down. You know, for all his high and mighty rhetoric, Your brother begged just as loud when I killed him" Aki then pulls out a storage scroll and unseals the dead body of Itachi. Sasuke's face pales as he sees his dead brother. Aki laughs "Oh bother, I forgot to collect my bounty, excuse me you there" Aki points at Sai, Sasuke's teammate.

Sai swallows, nervous despite Danzo's training "Yes, Shinojixyoou-sama"

Aki smiles under her mask "So polite, Your master trained you well little sprout, go tell the Hokage about my slaying of Itachi, and that I want my bounty for it. Also tell your master and your Jounin-Sensei your team has been disqualified for arguing with an official" Aki then knocks Sasuke out and throws him out the room. Sai quickly runs out the now open door. Aki turns to the rest of the room "Anyone else want to test me?" They all shake their heads "Good, now you pinkie, get out!" Aki yells pointing at Sakura, who quickly flees the room.

Aki then explains the rules to the genin and sets them to work, without warning she'll just appear and knock those who have cheated too obviously. Aki smiles as when she cut the mirror strings belonging to Tenten, without leaving her desk. Tenten then looks at Aki with a adoration approaching worship.
