Here's the next chapter, hope you like it. Also, I've decided on the sharingan ability. I had to only pick one, however I plan on using a lot of yours for Rinnegan abilities. I made my decision, based on whether or not it complimented Riley, and if it was something unique that she couldn't really already do. The idea I chose, was from paskin52, I just liked that is was something, she didn't have already, so I went with it. Thank you all for putting your ideas out there, and also remember that I still plan on using your, but they will be Rinne Sharingan abilities.
Warnings: Language, Violence, sexual content, and implied forced prostitution/rape.
K guys I need to expand on this… cuz I know some people are worried immediately by that last warning. I did not, nor will I, ever write a rape scene. And the reason for the slash rape is because I legitimately don't know how to label it. Just so you know, there is a part in this chapter, where it is revealed that someone is being forced to have sex against their will. No scenes no writing no nothing. The slash comes into place because it isn't a person getting screwed, it's a person being forced to screw, if you catch my drift. You'll see why I myself am unsure of the label. The only other scene you need to worry about, is when two unwilling participants are forced to bang, and again I did not write the scene. It leads right up to it, and then skips over. So there isn't anything to avoid. Now… let me make this clear one more time… I did not write any actual rape scene… and if someone knows what to label, it once they read it, I'll happily change the warning.
Now with that being said… this chapter, is going to be heavy. And also… as I'm typing this, I'm sitting at 16,000 words. I will be splitting this chapter in two, and both will be released at the same time. So… please let me know what you think, and at the end, I'll be sure to give my feelings on the situation.
Broken Angel
Chapter 46: The Opening
-Three Weeks later from previous chapter-
Amelia, Albus and Dolores strolled towards the Chamber of Secrets, eager to view the training session that Riley was holding there.
By now the shock had passed and people were clamoring for more information on the hero of Britain. For the summer most people were too dumbfounded by the sudden attack to really grasp Riley's part in ending it. Now however the shock had fully passed and people were clamoring for more information about her. The whole school now adored her. Hell even the Gryffindor's had ceased with their rivalry. They all knew that they owed Riley their lives.
On top of that, word was beginning to spread, Britain was building it's own hidden village. When word got out, foreign nations immediately started questioning the Wizengamot about it. They were curious as to the hows and whys, as a hidden village was not an easy thing to make.
What only the Minister was aware of, was that the village was already being built. Taking a page from her old playbook Riley had constructed another island. This one was just off the Eastern coast of Britain. The island was six miles across and hidden by an eternal fog. On the island the construction of the actual village had also, already commenced. It would take the form of an old style European castle with a small village around it. The fortress would be massive, nearly twice as large as any castle ever built. Right now, Riley was busy constructing it. She was using earth style to make the walls and stone structures of the castle, and wood style to fill in the needed supports. She then carved runes into her work to ensure that it was not only permanent, but indestructible. And to keep those runes active she also carved her own special runes into the stone to have it draw upon nature energy to constantly charge the runes and eventual wards.
While Riley, along with a few Goblin contractors were busy actually designing and building the place. Voldemort and Itachi were filling it with what they needed. They were furnishing training rooms, barracks, weapon ranges, spell casting ranges, training yards, exercise rooms, kitchens, infirmaries, etc, etc.
The project was going along quickly, however it still took time to build. Riley wasn't by any means a designer, and thus had to follow the design plans that were thought up by the goblin contractors they had hired. Also while they were building up, they had hired teams of goblin workers to build down, into the underground of the island. The island itself was only about two miles from shore, and with it bathed in fog, it quickly became an eery sight to any magical who passed by.
Those on the nearby mainland could only look out at the island that had mysteriously appeared from nowhere, and wonder what it was and where it had come from. Some people were even spreading rumors that Avalon had reappeared.
Anyway, at the current rate, the island and the village would be built by the beginning of the new year. Lucius and the minister, had also negotiated a deal with the goblins, in exchange for weapons and armor, the goblin nation would receive a solid cut from the village's profits, and they didn't even need to invest in it. For weapons and armor, the Goblins got ten percent of the village's earnings. The village itself kept Thirty percent, for projects and things of the like, while Britain received the rest.
Needless to say that things were well on their way. Minister Fudge had recently been to the island and was just plain dumbstruck by what he saw. That was why, Amelia, Dumbledore, and Umbridge were on their way to see one of Riley's training sessions, the day before was a Wizengamot meeting where Fudge explained to the gathered group about the progress the hidden village was making, without going into too much detail. Needless to say the Wizengamot was excited, and by extension the three that were now heading to the chamber of secrets.
The three made it to the girls bathroom and found Riley's clone chatting with Myrtle.
"Riley." Dumbledore greeted.
"Ah, headmaster, do you need something?" Riley inquired.
"Yes, we were hoping to view one of your training sessions today." Dumbledore informed her, earning nods from Amelia and Umbridge.
Riley nodded and quickly hissed for the sink to open.
"Go on down, the door should be open. I'll send word ahead." Riley told them as she made another clone and then popped.
The three quickly descended down the stairs, making sure to take in the sights of the infamous chamber. Dumbledore and Amelia had been down here before, but both only once, and that was just after the Basilisk incident, when they were searching the chamber for any excessively dangerous artifacts, that they didn't want in the school. Umbridge had never been down here, but having been a Slytherin in her youth, she found the prospect of seeing inside the legendary chamber to be quite riveting.
They quickly made it to the entrance of the chamber and found themselves standing by a cluster of students all in varying states of exhaustion. They could see another cluster of student on the other end of the chamber, in a similar state.
The three adults quickly glanced at the nearest students taking note of the numerous Riley clones that were busy healing injuries. Amelia herself was a bit taken aback, she could feel the buzz of magic in air, whatever had happened in here, it had been intense.
Amelia recognized the scene, it looked a bit like a few brawls she had broken up in the past. Her eyes scanned the students injuries, she spotted a red haired girl, that looked like a Weasely, sitting near the water, without her shirt on. The girl was busy ringing what looked like blood out of her shirt, while a Riley clone healed a gash on her right side. While Ginny still had a bra on, the sight was a bit curious to the Auror commander since it showed a level of trust the girl had for her fellows since she was willing to be nearly half naked around them.
Nearby she noticed another boy, blonde hair, obviously the Malfoy heir, without his shirt too, he was sitting with his legs in the water, while a bushy haired girl, ran her wand over a cut on his shoulder. Amelia could see the cut healing slowly, and was obviously surprised since it showed that the girl knew quite a bit of healing magic.
"Alright… you have four more minutes of rest. Take your soldier pills, stretch out, and get ready. We're going to run another game of capture the flag. We also have an audience this time, so watch where you throw your magic." The three adults heard Riley call out to the two groups.
The three adults quickly spotted Riley standing on a raised platform, to the side of the main walk way. It raised her up about ten feet to overlook the chamber. She quickly motioned for the three adults to join her.
The three made their way over and Apparated up onto the platform.
"Nice to see you found time to come and visit." Riley greeted them.
"You know… I knew you were training them…. But I never expected this." Amelia stated as she glanced at the two groups.
"Yes… this is quite more then I expected as well." Dumbledore added.
"Don't worry. The injuries are a lesson. Pain is one of the greatest teachers there is. It doesn't lie, it doesn't try to make you feel better. It's cold, ruthless, and efficient. I heal their injuries and I keep an eye on the fight. If anyone looks like they're about to die, I step in." Riley explained.
"But how can you be so sure? With this many combatants, surely there are moments when the chaos becomes too much." Amelia replied.
"No… not really. My eyes are so keen that even at their best, when all of them are operating on all cylinders, this fight, appears at a snails pace to me. Each movement taking forever to occur. Nothing is sudden, nothing is instant. There is no chaos on this battlefield. My eyes see everything. Now if this was a fight between Jonin, that would be a different story, but at that point they'd know enough to not kill each other." Riley replied.
"How often do you run sessions like this one?" Dumbledore inquired, slightly worried for his students safety.
"Like this? Every weekend for the last six months." Riley answered to the surprise of the three adults.
"What is this capture the flag game they're playing?" Umbridge inquired, while Dumbledore and Amelia stared at Riley with surprise.
"A simple game. I split them into two teams. Both teams have a flag. Blue and red. The goal is to race across the chamber and grab the other teams flag and make it back to your own. My clones watch the fight, if at any point someone takes an injury, I remove them, take them back to their reinforcement point and they reenter the fight at certain intervals. The test is to teach them coordination and tactics, as well as team work. The reinforcement points act as real life points of a continuous supply of soldiers. Whenever one goes down I send them to their reinforcement point. And every minute the point opens for ten seconds allowing those within it, to reenter the fight. The goal is to capture the flag three times." Riley explained earning nods of understanding from the adults and a very intrigued look from Amelia.
She wondered is she could employ some of these tactics with her Aurors.
"What are the rules?" Dumbledore inquired.
"Not many of those. First and foremost they cannot attack me, or anyone I'm taking care of. Second rule is that they cannot use any technique over a B-Rank, and also nothing that would kill on impact. All of the weapons have been dulled, the kunai are without tips, so are the Shuriken and any bladed instrument is dulled." Riley informed them as she flashed through some handsigns and slammed her palm into the ground. With that done, a couple dozen, six foot tall, six foot wide walls shot up all over the chamber, effectively blocking each teams view of each other.
"Alright… first to three wins. Ready? Begin!" Riley shouted, and with that the two teams began the game. The three adults watched closely as both teams knelt down and began to quickly plan a course of attack. The team closest to Slytherin's head started first. And soon both teams split into smaller groups and began to make their way towards the other team.
The three adults watched as some teams stepped out onto the water, and proceeded that way, while shielded by the cover walls, while some went down the middle. Suddenly two members of the entrance team, shot up and stuck to the ceiling and started firing spells down at the other team, while also shouting out locations to their comrades.
The three adults could only watch in awe as the two sides clashed in a spectacular display of ability. Every single one of Riley's students was at least high Genin, with many reaching Chuunin level already.
While Amelia in Dumbledore stood and watched the scene unfold in surprise, Umbridge could only think, that if this was how good a few children were under Riley's tutelage, then how powerful would elite Witches and Wizards become once the hidden village was built?
-Meanwhile-
In Konoha, a surprise meeting had been called for the council, apparently Jiraiya had some info that he needed them to hear.
"Alright… everyone calm down… master, what is it you have for us?" Minato asked, finally getting the meeting underway.
"I've received info from my spies in Britain, that the Wizengamot has begun the construction of a hidden village." Jiraiya informed them.
Most of the Leaf council sat dumbfounded for several moments before finally Tsume Inuzuka spoke, "Are you serious? How in the hell could Britain be building a hidden village?"
"I don't know how, but I do know that many prominent families are putting their weight behind the project. Apparently, Narumi, Itachi, and some Italian named Thomas Gaunt are spear heading the project." Jiraiya explained.
"Narumi, is constructing a hidden village?" Lily had to ask, as the idea ran through her head.
"It seams so. It appears the Wizengamot is trying to create their own force of shinobi to stop any future attack on their land. And Narumi, along with Itachi are the only ninja in that part of the world that could possibly assist them." Jiraiya replied.
"I can't believe this… why have the Wizengamot not informed us of their desire? Do they truly think they can accomplish such a task with only a handful of ninja at their disposal?" Homura inquired.
"Itachi is an S-Ranked Shinobi, who was well on his way to becoming the Anbu commander. Narumi, is an even more powerful shinobi whom slaughtered an army of Iwa and Oto ninja, and killed the Tsuchikage. Iwa has placed her in the Bingo book with a flee on sight order. She's the first person since Minato to receive such a classification. And… she has Madara's knowledge… remember, he helped build this village, it wouldn't be hard for her to do it again." Jiraiya replied earning a few tentative nods from the Shinobi side.
"Do we know anything about this village?" Minato asked.
"Only what it's called, and that it's warriors wont be shinobi. The village's name is in Welsh, it's Pentref Cysgodion Hud. Translating too..." Jiraiya began, but Lily finished for him.
"The Village hidden in Magic's shadow." Lily stated with a far away look.
"You said they weren't training ninja there. What are they training?" Shikaku inquired.
"Something known as the Cysgodol Legion, or Shadow Legion. Warriors with both magic and Chakra at their disposal. Trained like ninja, but with the powers of both groups. And also… the hidden village will be a part of Britain, not a separate entity like the Leaf is to the land of Fire. The Legion will act as Britain's military, under the command of the Wizengamot, and the three commanders." Jiraiya explained, what his spy had told him.
"Well… that's interesting and all, but have we heard any news about the nine tails, or Voldemort?" Utatane, inquired. While the news of a new hidden village forming was noteworthy, it wasn't a major concern for them right now. Such a thing would take a few years to make so they could worry about it later, for now they needed to focus on more important issues.
"Well, I haven't heard anything on the Fox, front. However, it seems that trouble is brewing in the ministry. It seems Fudge and Dumbledore are butting heads over the issue, to the point where the Daily Prophet is openly slandering Dumbledore and burying his attempts to inform people of Voldemort's return. It seems to me, that the Wizengamot is burying it's head in the sand." Jiraiya explained.
"They're a bunch of fools. If they refuse to see the problem coming, then there is nothing we can do for them. But we do need to find the fox. Do we have any leads on where Voldemort could have set up shop?" Minato inquired.
"Not many. I do know that the angel recently destroyed Azkaban, so that cut's off Voldemort's supply of reinforcements." Jiraiya stated, earning a surprised gasp from Lily. To think that the infamous prison was no more, it was almost too much to believe.
"On top of that, things have been very quiet with his old followers. Most of them actually seem to be focused on this new hidden village project. I do know, that Dumbledore has probably restarted his old group, the Order of the Phoenix." Jiraiya informed them.
"That's true… hm… Jiraiya… I want you to make contact with Dumbledore. Offer his our support. If anyone has leads on Voldemort, its him, and we need to get the fox back as quickly as we can. The sooner we have it, the sooner we can reseal it into Naruko." Minato ordered, earning a nod from his master.
"Speaking of which, how goes the girl's training with the Rinnegan?" Homura inquired.
"Not so good. She can manipulate gravity a bit, but she can't seem to make much progress with it. She can't utilize the abilities in quick succession, and they aren't overly powerful right now. She can't seem to speed up her use of the abilities to more then once, every five seconds. I'm trying to help her push past this funk, but she just doesn't seem to be making much progress. The ability to use all five base elements is nice, but we really need her to learn all of the Rinnegan's powers." Jiraiya answered.
"Perhaps the abilities are just incredibly difficult to learn, perhaps if she were younger and not so ingrained in her ways, it would be easier? Speaking of which, we haven't yet spoken about it, but I do believe we should discuss placing her in the CRA." Hiashi stated.
Jiraiya's eyes shot to Minato and Lily, he expected the two of them to immediately shoot down the idea, but instead they just looked neutral.
"While it would be helpful to propagate the Rinnegan, she's too valuable right now to put through pregnancy, maybe after this coming war with Iwa, but right now it's to much of a risk." Shikaku drawled out.
"You're both right. Lily and I have discussed it, and while utilizing the CRA in the normal fashion would not benefit us right now, there are others ways to utilize it, now that we have the needed spells." Minato stated to the council.
"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked. He felt his gut churn as the realization of what Minato was about to say, clicked in his mind. He didn't think it was possible that Minato or Lily would ever put Naruko through that, to demean her in such a way, but as his student started to speak, he knew he was right.
"We can utilize the CRA in a reverse fashion for Naruko. We'll have her utilize some unique spells, gathered during our time in Britain to allow her to breed with females. This will ensure that she can spread her genetics to others while still maintaining a form of combat readiness." Minato explained. Many of the council members looked excited by the prospect, especially those with daughters. Those Like Hiashi were instantly thinking of how best to utilize this situation to their advantage.
Jiraiya just stared at his student. Then at Lily, then at Tsunade. None of them seemed bothered by this. Jiraiya may have been focused on helping Naruko learn the powers of the Rinnegan but he didn't think she needed to be turned into a stud for other woman to create more Rinnegan users. His eyes settled on Lily, she was the most unbelievable. She had always considered the CRA to be a barbaric misuse of power, and she was always vehemently against it's use, now however she looked like she didn't care. In fact, the woman was actually looking down at her belly, smiling while she gently rubbed her hand over the clothed flesh.
It was at that moment that it struck Jiraiya… Lily was pregnant. This was exactly how she was when she was pregnant with the twins. She didn't care about anything else, the baby growing in her womb was the most important thing in the world to her. It was about now that Jiraiya realized that, that devotion extended to this new baby as well. It was now more important to Lily then Naruko was. He hoped he was wrong, he prayed he was wrong, but the scene was just too familiar to him, for it not to make sense.
"We'll give Naruko a few more days to learn, while we prepare a list of candidates that could help propagate the bloodline. I'll be taking all possible suggestions into account." Minato informed the council earning nods, and smirks from most of them. Jiraiya was one of the few who was truly disturbed by this. They were talking about turning a young girl into a stud for breeding purposes, like they were talking about the weather. The only others that seemed bothered by this, were Shikaku and Hiruzen. Though Shikaku merely stared at his fellow councilors with this plain look in his eyes, Hiruzen looked almost resigned to it.
Meanwhile, in a shadowy corner of the room, a woman in a black cloak, stood watching. She simply smiled as she felt the shadows shift at her feet, and she had to suppress a chuckle at the look the toad sage was giving his student.
Jiraiya didn't say anything. He simply turned and left. He quickly made his way to the training ground, he knew Naruko would be at.
He found her on her knees huffing in exhaustion. As Jiraiya stared at her, all he could feel was shame, for what his village was about to force her to do.
"Hey kid… we need to talk." Jiraiya stated to her.
Naruko looked up at him for a moment and saw the look in his eyes. She felt a cold chill run up her spine, as well as a sickening feeling in her stomach. Whatever he was about to say… it wasn't going to be good.
-Two Weeks Later-
"The Yule holidays are coming up in about a month… what are your plans, Riley?" Katie inquired as she, Riley, Luna, and Daphne made their ways to the library to study.
"Well… I was planning on making a round trip to visit all of you guys for the holidays… then maybe go to the Malfoy's Christmas ball, cuz I missed last years. Then I figured I'd just spend time at home, with Remus, Sirius, Dobby, and our house guest." Riley answered, not addressing Kushina's name aloud, lest someone hear.
"Hm… well, I'll have to stop bye." Katie replied as the other girls nodded. They entered the library and quickly took their seats, and popped open the books. Everything was going, just swimmingly with Riley. She had her mates. She had her friends. She had a family now. Her training with both of her grandparents was going amazingly well, and on top of all that Kushina was back to training again. She tired easily, but besides that, she was back on a workout regiment, and she was slowly getting back up to her old level.
Hell, even the hidden village was going along nicely. The place was seventy-five percent built, and it was looking like things would be wrapped up just before Christmas. It was almost time for Itachi and Riley to go on a recruiting spree in the Elemental Nations to find rogues or wanderers to join them.
Yep… things couldn't be better for Riley. She glanced over at Daphne as she thought about all of the good things going on, and could only smile. They now had a date for their wedding. It would be June first. Riley couldn't be more excited, and Daphne… well, she hid it well, but Riley could tell she was just as excited.
-One Weeks Later-
Kakashi was angry… no… anger wasn't the right word for it. Fury wasn't right either. No word could possibly describe how the Copy-Cat ninja, felt about his village right now.
His sensei, was turning into a monster. His own daughter, was being forced to essentially prostitute herself, in order to spread the Rinnegan to other members of the village. And the worst part about it… is that neither of her parents seemed to care. Lily was obviously pregnant again, and she seemed to completely forget about Naruko.
While Minato just seemed angry at her. It was like every little slip up, every hiccup in progress was a massive failure in his eyes. It was like he expected her to be perfect, and when she wasn't, he got mad at her.
His frustration seemed to stem from Naruko's inability to close the gap between her and Riley, despite Naruko not having the Rinnegan. Kakashi didn't know for certain but a part of him wondered if Minato and some of the others had gotten it into their heads that the Rinnegan, had been the source of Riley's strength, and that now that Naruko had it, there was so reason why she shouldn't be able to surpass her sister. None of them seemed to acknowledge that Riley challenged and beat a weakened Itachi when she was eight years old, and she didn't have the Rinnegan then.
Even if Naruko mastered it's powers, all that would do is raise her occular abilities to match Riley's, that didn't alter the gap in skill, or abilities. None of their superiors seemed to acknowledge that. They'd seemingly placed it all on the Rinnegan, and were under the assumption that once Naruko mastered it's powers, she'd be unbeatable.
Kakashi had no clue what had happened to the man that had once been his sensei in these past few months to make him like this, it was like there was this murderous gleam in his eye, nowadays. Hell, before all of this, he seemed tired with butting heads with the council so often, now… now he was agreeing with them on everything! Kakashi couldn't believe it. How could the noble, albeit foolish man, who had trained him and taught him the meaning of unity and teamwork, turn into this conniving monster that was willing to turn his own daughter into breeding stock for the village?
Had something broken in his mind? Had seeing Riley surpass him so casually, shaken something loose in his mind? Kakashi wasn't sure, he'd never thought his old sensei was overly prideful, but perhaps Kakashi had just been blinded by his own adoration of the man and his skills. Perhaps now, he was seeing what Riley saw in the Fourth Hokage, a man willing to do anything, step on anyone, in order to succeed in his goals.
Kakashi didn't know what exactly was going on, but he knew it had something to do with that woman. The woman in the dark cloak. She appeared every now and again, and was almost always in the council chambers whenever a meeting was called. This all started when she showed up, and Kakashi knew that she had something to do with it.
Ever since she showed up… the villagers had been acting weird. People were on edge, and lashing out. He didn't know what was going on, but it definitely wasn't good.
Kakashi found himself walking through the village, he didn't have a destination, he was just walking. Eventually he found himself stopping and staring up at the Hokage faces on the mountain.
'Sensei… what happened to you? Was this really who you were underneath it all? Was this dark and twisted… 'thing' always lurking beneath the surface? How could you do this to Naruko? Do you even care?' Kakashi thought to himself.
He let out a sigh as he looked down. His eye widened slightly as he spotted a familiar and soul wrenching sight moving towards him.
'Naruko.'
The girl was a shell of her former self. Gone was the look of liveliness in her eyes. Gone was the cocky grin that always adorned her features. The girl just looked dead inside. She looked like a walking corpse. Kakashi could already tell that she was losing weight, and wasn't maintaining her appearance. Her hair was disheveled. Her cloths, wrinkled. And her were eyes lacking any sort of light to them. She looked like she had been crying.
"Hey Naruko..." Kakashi tried to greet the girl as she walked by, but she didn't respond. She didn't say anything, she just kept on walking.
Kakashi dropped his head in shame. Obito's words flooding through his mind, from a time when his old teammate was a good person.
Remembering Obito made this hurt so much more. Obito had fallen into darkness, the man he'd once been, having died in that cave so long ago. It took a few years for Kakashi to fully accept that when he learned of his old teammate being alive. After some time, he did accept it, even if he didn't understand. Now he was seeing it happen in real time, watching as Minato turned from one of the best people he knew, into a cold, malicious monster. Was this how Obito fell as well? Was it a slow, agonizing process, where he just became cruel and twisted over time?
His eyes locked onto his student's back as she trudged away, broken and despondent, in her own little world.
He clenched his fists in anger. He felt the figures moving through the shadows, stalking after Naruko. Her 'escorts' no doubt.
'More like jailors.' Kakashi thought as his nails began to dig into his palms. These Anbu were following Naruko around to 'protect' her. 'Hmph… more like they're keeping her from killing herself…'
Kakashi continued to glance at his one time student as she continued to walk away. No longer did people look at her with reverence. In fact, many of their glances made Kakashi's blood boil. Whispers had begun spreading, and some of the more sick and twisted, had started insinuating certain things. Things that no one should ever insinuate about a teenager.
He felt sick to his stomach… what had this village become?
A few stray tears fell from his eyes as he watched Naruko vanish into the crowd. Letting out a loud sigh, Kakashi headed for the memorial stone.
'Rin… Obito… what should I do?' Kakashi thought as he stared at the stone. Even though he knew what Obito had become, he still couldn't stop himself from remembering the person he was when they were kids. The one who taught Kakashi to never abandon his teammates and always protect his friends.
'What would you do Obito, If you were in my position?' Kakashi thought to himself as he shut his eyes and envisioned possible scenarios.
All of them ended in either failure, or death, all except one. Only one, guaranteed success, but it would cost countless lives. Countless innocent lives.
All it would take is a letter. Just one letter, and Kakashi would doom hundreds, possibly more. Could he do it? For Naruko? For an innocent young woman who didn't deserve the hell her life had become?
Would he doom countless innocents, to safe one life?
A life he knew.
'Those who abandon the mission are scum, but those who abandon their friends, are worse than scum.' Obito's words flashing through his mind once more.
'Innocent people will suffer no matter what I do. In the end, nothing will change that. The only decision there is to make, is do I let Naruko be the one to suffer, or do save her from it, at the cost of other's suffering in her stead? In the end... in the end, I have to do what's right. I can't do nothing and watch someone I care for, fall into such despair.' Kakashi questioned himself, assuring himself that he was making the right choice.
Naruko was his sister. He may not have the same relationship with her, as he did with Riley, but she was still his sister. He couldn't let this go on any longer… he needed to do something… Something drastic. He had to send that letter.
Kakashi took one last long look at the stone before speaking aloud. "I'm going to make you all proud. Rin. Obito. Father… even if it brings shame to my name… I'll protect what truly matters… I promise." and with that the Copy-Cat Ninja made his way home. He knew deep down… if he did this… he may just doom thousands to die, but… in the end, he would do what was right.
-Two days later-
It was dinner time and Riley was enjoying her meal alongside her friends and mates. She had just finished a vigorous training session with Hashirama, and had finally mastered a new ability. The Wood Golem Jutsu. As she was eating, the evening post arrived, and to her surprise a bird from Gringotts landed in front of her.
Riley stared at the bird curiously for a moment before taking the letter it had brought. She gave it a treat and then to her surprise it flew away, at mad speed.
"What was that about?" Draco inquired as he watched the Gringotts bird flee in terror.
"Maybe you're being audited or something?" Theo offered to Riley whom shrugged and opened the letter it had delivered.
Riley began to read through it. Several moments passed as she read it's contents. She then reread it from beginning to end.
"Riley!" Luna stated suddenly, as she turned to look at her mate. Daphne and Katie followed suite and a moment later they were struck with a feeling of absolute, indescribable rage.
Riley's eyes were wide and her jaw hanging open. As she read the letter for probably the fifth time. In a sudden movement she was on her feet and walking towards the exit.
"Riley!" Katie called out, as she, Daphne and Luna shot to their feet to follow. The staff and student body all noticed the commotion as Riley stalked towards the exit, her eyes a blazing blood red, and in her clenched fist was a letter that quickly burned to ash.
Riley's mates tried to catch up to her, but before they could, Riley vanished into Kamui. They tried to call out to her over the bond, but were surprised when they felt their connection to Riley slam shut. Even their connection through The Gravemind was cut, which left the three plus Fleur confused and terrified.
Meanwhile in Kamui, Madara and Hashirama were enjoying some Saki and chatting about the good old days when Riley materialized into Kamui, with a look of pure murder on her face.
"Riley?" Hashirama called out to her as he noticed the look of anger.
"What the hell..." Madara began to question as the two approached, only for Riley to let out an ear piercing scream as she grabbed her head, like she was in pain.
"RILEY!" Madara called out to her as a tornado of fire consumed her. The raging twister was nearly fifty feet across, and the heat it released was skin blistering, even at over fifty yards away.
"What's happening to her?!" Hashirama called out as he shielded his eyes from the heat.
"She's ascending to the fifth tail." Kurama answered as he stalked out of the forest to see what the commotion was all about.
"What is this rage? This... carnal murderous fury?" Hashirama asked, over the roar of the tornado.
"I have no clue..." Kurama replied as he watched the tornado rage for several more moments, until finally it dissipated.
In the center of a scorched crater stood Riley. All of her clothes had been burned to ash. She had taken on all of her demonic features, and just as Kurama had stated, she now sported a fifth tail.
"Riley!" Hashirama called out to her, as he and Madara made their way over to the girl, making sure to stand on some wooden panels to avoid the scorched glass crater, around her.
When they got closer, they began to hear her repeating something to herself.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I… I didn't mean… I'm so sorry… I never wanted that… I just… I wanted to hurt you… but… not like this…. I'm so sorry." Riley had tears streaming down her face. The two men hesitantly approached her, as did Kurama.
"Riley… what happened?" Madara inquired as they made it to her.
"The Leaf is forcing Naruko… they're…." Riley couldn't even finish her statement. She felt her soul ripping in two. This was not something she wanted. She never wanted anyone to have to endure that kind of pain. She wanted her sister to feel pain, and humiliation… but not like this. She'd never want someone torn down to this… to be unloved, and unwanted. Only seen as a breeding tool. Riley never wanted this for her. She never wanted to put Naruko into this position.
To have her innocence stolen. Riley never wanted this for her. She never wanted Naruko to be reduced to this.
This had always been Riley's greatest fear. Something that terrified her, becoming nothing more than a tool for the Leaf village, to be used whenever they desired, for whatever purpose they desired. No life, no love, no hope. Just an existence of absolute servitude.
Riley had wanted her twin to fall from her pedestal, she wanted her to learn some humility, but this went so far beyond anything she could have ever wanted. She had never, in all her life, wished something so horrible on Naruko. Never, not even at her angriest. She'd never wanted her greatest fear, inflicted on her twin.
Such a thing had never even been conceivable until now. The idea that the village would turn on their golden girl, so completely, it never seemed possible in Riley's eyes. Naruko would always be untouchable, at least, that's what Riley thought. No matter what Naruko did, or how much she messed up, she'd always have that pedestal to stand upon, to climb back onto.
To imagine what Naruko was going through, it broke Riley's heart, and it filled her with a fury she'd only known twice before. Once was when Shisui had died, and she'd lost her best friend, and the other was when Luna had her arm broken by those Iwa thugs. Her fury, in either of those events, had led to a major change in her life. For the former she finally left her birth village, and for the latter, she assumed the guise of the Angel of Carnage. To know that fury again, was an awful feeling. But Riley couldn't repress it, it held over her like a miasma, and it boiled within her, filling her up with unabashed hatred.
Madara and Hashirama shared a look. They could guess as to what Riley was referring to with her offerings. If her current state was anything to go by, they knew just what the Leaf was doing to Naruko.
"They're… trying to breed her? They're trying to spread the Rinnegan? What kind of monsters would take a young woman's innocence like that!" Hashirama growled out. Pure rage and unrestrained fury, filling his voice.
"I just don't get it. They need Naruko for the war with Iwa, why would they try to hamper her with a child?" Madara questioned aloud.
"They're not trying to get her pregnant. They're using magical spells to force her to impregnate other woman! They've turned her into a stud for the Rinnegan!" Riley spat.
"Gods..." Was Hashirama's reply, while Madara merely stared off with a scowl. He may not like Naruko for her treatment of Riley, but this was going too far. They were forcing the girl to act as breeding stock, she just didn't get saddled down for nine months. This was literally a spit's distance above just raping her. They were forcing her to prostitute herself, an act that made Madara's blood boil at the thought.
Madara didn't know who he honestly felt worse for right now, Riley or Naruko. It was obvious that Riley was blaming herself for what had befallen Naruko, but on the other hand, Naruko was literally being forced to fuck women and impregnate them, for a woman, it was probably the second most demeaning thing you could do them, besides just outright raping them. She was being forced to commit the act with others… Madara couldn't imagine what the girl was feeling, what a girl even would feel, being forced to act as a stud and impregnate woman, he doubted there was anything that would make a woman feel like less of a woman, then that. At the end of the day, all that mattered was that it was stripping Naruko of every ounce of control she had, and destroying her sense of self-worth. Not jut as a woman, but as a person. It was torture, forget trying to define it, to Madara, it was just torture.
Meanwhile, Hashirama's mind was in whirl. He couldn't believe how far his village had fallen, that they would do something like this to someone they once saw as a hero. He just couldn't fathom how the poor girl must feel right now. She literally had her whole image destroyed. She wasn't a shinobi. She wasn't the Girl-Who-Lived. She wasn't even the former Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. She was nothing but a prized horse, who's only real purpose in the world was to spread her genes, and then be used as a weapon.
This was the kind of horror, he'd built the Hidden Leaf in order to prevent from ever happening again. This was an abomination of his childhood, a relic of a bygone era that Hashirama had worked his whole life to move past and grow from. This was the kind of suffering he'd hoped to put an end to, to hear it befall an innocent young woman from the village he'd built, filled him with an unnatural fury. Hashirama rarely became enraged, but he was most definitely enraged.
Kurama could only watch the three sadly. His eyes kept flickering to Riley, as he waited for the explosion. The pure unrefined rage. He waited for it. But to his immense surprise, it didn't come.
Instead of fireballs raining from the sky, instead of earthquakes and storms, like he was expecting, there was only a stillness to the world.
'Come on… rain some fire… make something explode. Create a storm… DO SOMETHING!' Kurama willed her to react. But again, nothing occurred. It was then that the hairs on the back of Kurama's neck began to stand. As he suddenly realized what was probably going on.
'Please… please don't have that trait. Please have something… anything else!' Kurama prayed but, once again, nothing happened.
It was then that Riley's third eye opened. The Dementor King materialized around her, his dark cloak shrouding her nude form. Her attire materialized beneath the cloak and Riley slowly lifted her hood, to cover her face.
"Oh no..." Kurama whined in fear.
"Kurama?" Hashirama inquired as he heard the whine.
"She's developed Kokuo's temper." Kurama stated with a bit of fear, as he watched Riley slowly turn and walk away.
"What? Is that something she got from the Five Tails?" Hashirama inquired, as he shot a glance at Riley, only to feel a cold chill run across his whole body.
"Kokuo's temper, is legendary amongst us tailed beasts. If you pissed him off, and I mean really pissed him off… he didn't explode… no… instead, he got quiet. He got really quiet. It's like, he got so angry, that he couldn't even physically display it anymore, and so he looked calm, but he wasn't calm. He was pissed. I think Riley just got that trait from him… and if she did, we must all be afraid." Kurama stated with a bit of worry, before de-summoning himself, back into Riley's body. Riley's summons quickly did the same, while Madara and Hashirama shared a worried look.
Both of them, quickly de-summoned themselves too, and returned to Riley's body… they knew whatever was about to happen, it could only be described, as biblical.
-That night-
Naruko sat with this dead look in her eyes, as she waited for her next 'partner'. She absolutely despised this. She didn't feel like a woman anymore. She didn't feel loved. She felt like a chunk of meat.
Her eyes drifted towards a stern looking woman, standing to the side next to a row of bottles, filled with potency drugs and potions. There was incense burning in the room, and Naruko wouldn't be surprised if one of these days, someone dosed her with ecstasy or something to get her through the act with more 'vigor'.
The 'ONLY' upside to any of this was that the women that she had to bed were older, and she didn't know any of them. She recognized a few from clans, but she didn't know any, personally. She was dreading having to see someone she knew, like Ino, or Sakura, or…
"Here she is." The stern, crotchety bitch stated as her next partner was shoved into the room. Unlike the others, this one looked younger, and hesitant, almost scared. Then it hit Naruko and she felt like kicking herself.
"Hinata." Naruko stated sadly as she gave her friend a broken smile.
Hinata couldn't even look at her. It didn't take a genius to see that Hinata, did not want to be here. Naruko felt like killing herself, she wondered for a moment if the crotchety bitch had a knife on her that Naruko could steal and use to off herself.
"Alright." The stern woman stated as she took something and injected it into Hinata's arm. All Naruko could do was hold back a growl. She knew what awaited both of them, if she didn't have sex with Hinata. She had tried struggling at first, and at first, she was the one to receive the beatings for non compliance.
They quickly changed tactics after the third day, when Naruko just took their beatings with a smile. Now… if she didn't perform the act… the other woman would get the beating. They didn't care. Whomever these Anbu and the crotchety old woman were, they were professionals in the art of blackmail and coercion. If she didn't sleep with Hinata… then a team of five, two hundred pound men, would beat her half to death, and then make Naruko fuck her anyway. And they'd make Naruko watch while they beat her. Hinata… she just couldn't make her friend endure that. They were going to force her anyway… best to just get it over with, so Hinata could leave without the beating. Maybe, if Naruko did it right, Hinata may even find it 'pleasurable'.
Gods the word made Naruko feel nauseous. She wanted to vomit…
Finally she locked eyes with Hinata, whom offered her a sad smile in return.
"I'm so sorry, Hinata. I don't wanna do this." Naruko stated as a single tear fell from her eye.
"I know… I don't blame you." Hinata replied sadly, as she offered her friend a comforting smile.
The stern looking woman, immediately stepped beside them and pulled the draw string holding their robes closed. Both robes fell to the floor, leaving the girls nude. "Begin." The woman stated, her eyes cold and harsh.
-Ten Minutes Later-
"They will all know pain and terror. This will be my warning. This will be that last chance they ever have. Death shall visit the streets of Konoha this night. And I will flood the streets with their blood. They thought I would let this pass. They thought I would sit by and do nothing. They have learned nothing… and now… they have truly earned my wrath. This disease ridden, filthy village, shall forever remember this day! I took the title, Carnage for a reason… and now… they will learn why!" Riley intoned as she floated high above Konohagakure no Sato.
Meanwhile, inside of her mind, Kurama, Madara, and Hashirama could only watch, with bated breath as Riley began to launch her plan into action. None of them knew what she was planning… she wouldn't say anything to them. She wouldn't answer their calls, and she was blocking them from contacting her through the Gravemind. All the three could do was watch… and Riley finally released the restraints on her power, and for the first time… she showed the world just how powerful she was.
While this was going on, Kakashi was in his house finishing up with packing his stuff.
"Are you sure about this Kakashi?" Pakkun his faithful ninja hound inquired.
"This village has turned against itself. What kind of man would I be, if I allowed the atrocities they're committing against someone I consider to be a sister, to go on?" Kakashi asked in reply.
"You know there's no going back? They'll hunt you to the ends of the earth." Pakkun warned.
"I know. But I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to save Naruko from this fate. I wont let them destroy what's left of her. I never truly stood up for Riley until it was too late to save her… and now… now Naruko is going through even worse treatment. I wont stand by and do nothing any longer. If I have to lay down my life to defend those I hold precious, then I will, without hesitation. If I have to die, so she can be free, then at least I can meet Rin and my father in the afterlife with no regrets." Kakashi replied as he finished packing and putting on his backpack.
'Come on Riley… I know you've gotten my letter by now. I need your help. Please...' Kakashi thought to himself as he picked up Pakkun and the two walked out of their house for the last time.
While that was going on, Riley continued to hover in the sky, gathering chakra. She was drawing in massive amounts of nature energy and fusing it with her Youki as she prepared to launch her attack.
"Riley… I know you can hear me… I need to say something to you. I need you to hear this… please… just give me a sign that you can hear me..." She heard Hashirama beg. Riley allowed a growl to escape her lips. It was the only response she had given to their questions in over an hour.
"Riley… I know what I asked you… about giving them a chance to choose. I still believe it's the right thing to do… however… with that being said…. The Leaf must pay for what it's done…. Do. Not. Hold. Back." Hashirama said to her. Riley allowed a vicious grin to spread across her face at hearing that.
"Unleash your full power, Riley! Show them the might of the Uchiwa Clan Leader!" Madara ordered.
"Let your rage power you. Let it consume all who stand in your way. By dawn the Leaf will face a choice. Atone or suffer a repeat of tonight. Let the sun rise on a landscape, forever changed! YOU ARE A DEMONIC GOD! SHOW THEM YOUR MIGHT!" Kurama commanded.
"Right!" Riley stated… as her eyes descended down on the sleeping city. The sun was soon to rise… soon the dawn would shed light on Konohagakure, and when it did… it would reveal a place, forever altered.
Naruko and Hinata sat together. Naruko had her arm wrapped around her friend, holding her close. All Naruko could do was glare at her handlers. They just stared back impassively.
"Again." The coldhearted old bitch stated.
"No! I'm not doing it again! Once is enough!" Naruko screamed back in reply.
"Her father paid for potency. You will go again. And then again. At that time, we will revisit this conversation." The woman stated in such a matter of fact tone, it made Naruko want to scream… and so she did.
"Fuck you! Hurt me all you like, but if you lay a hand on Hinata, I'll fucking kill you! Once! Is! Enough!" Naruko growled as she moved in front of Hinata. Seeing her friend like this, so ashamed and broken had finally caused her to snap. Naruko wasn't doing this any fucking more, she would rather die.
"You will learn your place!" The woman stated with a snarl as a team of Anbu appeared around her.
"Fuck You!" Naruko hissed.
The group advanced only to fall forward, each one with a kunai embedded in their back, or in the back of their heads.
"Ho-How…?" One of the still living Anbu muttered in surprise as he lay paralyzed with a kunai sticking out of his spine.
Naruko and Hinata, meanwhile looked shocked. They're eyes drifted towards the door, to reveal Kakashi, with his hand wrapped around the throat of a Hyuuga, whose face was already turning blue from lack of Oxygen.
"That would be my doing." Kakashi stated with a snarl. Gone was his typical aloofness. He was so far beyond pissed right now, that he wasn't even going to try and hide it.
With a single twitch of his wrist, he snapped the Hyuuga's neck while the two younger Genin watched in surprise. Kakashi then stepped over to the two still living Anbu and drove kunai into their skulls.
"Girls… let's go. Hinata… I can help you get to your home, Naruko… you and me are out of here." Kakashi told them, earning a shocked gasp from Hinata and an even more surprised look from Naruko.
"We-We're leaving? Really?" Naruko asked with a bit of hope, not believing it to be true.
"Yeah. I'm going to help you get out of this place. But first we need to get Hinata home." Kakashi replied.
"Wait! Ca-Can I… go with you?" Hinata inquired, nervously.
"You… you want to come with us? You know you'll be listed as a missing ninja? The Hyuuga will hunt you to the ends of the earth, and Hiashi will never allow you to become clan leader… any chance of removing the caged bird seal will go up in flames if you leave." Kakashi stated as he handed Naruko and Hinata some clothes to wear since they were both still nude, and Naruko was sporting an interesting new appendage.
"I know… but… my father hates me. The elders hate me. And so does the branch family. Even my own sister hates me… my father already plans on putting the caged bird seal on me after I get pregnant and give birth. Even if I stay… my dreams are already dead… please… please take me with you." Hinata ended up begging as tears began to stream from her eyes.
"Well… I can't exactly say no. But… this isn't going to be easy. Can you suppress your chakra?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes." Hinata nodded as she got a hopeful look in her eyes.
"I've called for some outside help. It should be arriving any time now. Hopefully within the next twenty-four hours. When it does, we'll make a break for it. Until then, however, we need to lay low." Kakashi informed them. Both girls nodded and got to their feet. Naruko gave a look of discomfort as she shifted with unease.
Kakashi could easily tell why.
"Is that 'thing' permanent?" Kakashi asked.
"No… it'll wear off in a few minutes." Naruko answered with a scowl.
"Oh… good." Kakashi found himself replying with a cringe, as his mind found itself wondering, what 'wear off' entailed.
"Really? Now?" Naruko asked while making a 'seriously?' face.
"Sorry…. Alright. Follow me." Kakashi ordered. Hinata immediately took Naruko's hand, which for some reason, caused Naruko to pause. She glanced at Hinata whom was staring at her dead clansmen. For a moment, Naruko saw something akin to hate, flash in Hinata's eyes. With a comforting squeeze of the hand, Naruko drew her attention back to her. She gave her friend a hopeful smile and the two darted off after Kakashi, both eager to finally be free of this hell.
And Done….
.
.
.
Not Really… I'm releasing the next chapter right after this… anyway, hope you enjoy. Now… as you've read, about what's happened to Naruko, you've gotten a look into how much her life's changed since losing the fox. Some of you may note that Minato and Lily are acting out of character… that is intentional. That is why I had Kakashi note it.
Now, on the issue with Naruko… now that you've read it… I honestly have no clue how to most accurately classify that… it's bad… it's really bad. Like I'm not even sugar coating it… I think this is fucked up… I wouldn't wish that kind of treatment on my worst enemies, but I honestly don't know how to classify it. If that was hard on a few people, I apologize, but like I said, I will never write an actual rape scene. It happens and it's one of the worst things you can do to a person, which is why I referenced it, but I had to put it in for a reason. I had to show that the leaf was going to fully exploit Naruko now… no apprehension, no holding back. They were willing to tear her down physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I wanted to show, that things are fucking bad now. I do hope you find what it did to be unique, because I honestly haven't ever read something where a female character is essentially forced to act as a male and impregnate females… so I hope, that at the very least, it's something unique, that you haven't seen before.
Once again, I know Minato and Lily are acting, fucked up… and there is a reason for it… hinted at in this chapter… and again in the next. Anyway, next chapter will be up, a few minutes after this one, as I put the finishing touches on it. Let me know what you think… JA NE!
