“Looking back now, I think I tried my best,“ says Motoyuki Yuki.
Nobody but the roaring waterfall heard her, as she continues swinging her chain
cutting the waterfall vertically. Yuki just stood there in front of the
waterfall, letting loose her sorrow and thoughts, while cutting the waterfall
vertically with her chain apart. Usually she is a very cheerful girl, but
today, she is doubting herself, since Go-Daime assigned her to lead a 4 man
team to search for 2 S-class criminals. She is used to hunting down missing-ninjas.
It is what she did the past year, but something is just not feeling right.
Two years ago she and her now passed teammates graduated from
the academy and became Team 16. At that time Yuki was not a very special or
even talented kunoichi. She was rather average, usually too lazy to put up an
effort. Average was what the instructors called it. They did their typical
genin missions, F and D rank. Their Jounin, Suzunaka, was actually quite the
serious person. He seem to have a complex, always so stressed, fearing for his
life or something. He only felt save inside Konoha. But other than that he was
a good instructor. He taught the two boys, Kinzaki and Uehon, well and Yuki
looked up to the two like brothers. They were always fighting, trying to beat
each other in what ever category they could think of, typical rivals.
Than one day, Kinzaki came by and told them they had a C rank
mission. Escort a diplomat to the tiny bird country. The boys were full of joy
and danced wildly around Yuki. Yuki just shrugged her shoulders and went along
silently. The diplomat, Takefuku, was a young man, probably in his late 20’s
maybe early 30’s and dressed very formally. They set off and the first day went
along uneventful. It would take them another two days before arriving so they
set camp next to the road. The first watch Yuki took over while the others
slept. Some trees where bending with the wind or small rodent ran by, nothing
big and so she woke up Uehon for the next shift.
Time passed and suddenly something warm and wet woke her out of
her sleep. As her eye finally focused on the substance she found it to be red
and it smelled metallic. On her leg, she then finally saw an cut off arm, still
bleeding and looking up she found Uehon left side without an arm and gushing
out with blood. He stood there with his back to her, kunai stretched out in a
defending position. In front of him someone tried stabbing him with a long
katana, he didn’t dodge it, instead he was barely able to block it with his
kunai.
“Uehon, what are you doing?” Yuki was shouting at him, “why
aren’t you dodging it?”
“Oh, our little sleeping beauty is awake?! Good, cause defending
you is really hard with only one arm.” He turned his head for a second and Yuki
saw a smile.
Letting his guard down was a bad decision, cause there came the
blade again, and this time it took his other arm. Screaming out in pain, Uehon
recovered still standing there protecting Yuki.
“Now get moving Yuki, I don’t have infinite arms to defend you,
you know.”
But where was our
sensei,
Yuki thought, shouldn’t he be saving us?
Yuki quickly stood up and let Uehon have his space. As soon as
she moved, Uehon started dodging the attacks as he usually would. He was the
best at dodging attacks. Never was he hit during practice. But this wasn’t
practice, this was life and this was real. Blood still was coming out from both
sides where Uehon lost his arm, and his movement slowed down. Yuki was fixated
at Uehon’s struggle.
She heard a loud ‘ching’ sound behind her. Turning to see what
it was, Kinzaki drove another katana away from Yuki. Kinzaki finds an opening
and attacks, wounding his opponent badly.
“Yuki stay with Uehon. I can handle this. Sensei is looking for
Takefuku,” Kinzaki shouts.
Yuki turned her view back at Uehon only to see a blade going
through his torso. She screamed “No!” and ran towards the falling Uehon. While
running, something inside her felt different. It felt boiling hot, like a sharp
hot blade cutting through butter, and ice cold, like the early spring ice water
running down the river, at the same time. She was holding Uehon’s warm body as
that tall person approached them. He was holding his katana high and mighty,
and Yuki’s eyes were filled with tears, blurring her vision. Something just
urged her to lift her hands towards that killer. As she did, some great force
surged through her arms out towards the murderer, a loud surprising scream and
then silence.
Yuki didn’t care about that, she was just fixated on Uehon.
‘What to do’, she was desperately
thinking, ‘ah first aid. What was it?
Pressurize the wounds.’
She looked for bandages around, but finding none, she instead
tore off part of her clothing and started closing of his arms first. Then she
looked for a way to close off his puncture wound. Her hands just pressed on the
wound, again the same cutting and cold feeling come forth. Now she saw it. Ice
was forming where the wound was. Clothing both ends of it.
“Ah, it feels so cold Yuki-chan,” Uehon whispered. He moved what
was left of his arm, trying to touch her, and she grabbed hold of it. “You know
very well, I won’t make it,” Uehon continues, “You know that attack you just
did, it was awesome and fear inspiring at the same time. You really should put
more effort into it, you’d be the best kunoichi ever. Promise?” But without
hearing her answer Uehon died.
Behind Yuki, the battle still went on, Kinzaki was still
battling two foes. Filled with rage and sorrow, the strange feeling she had
filled her body once again. Turning towards the battle she says, “It’s a
promise Uehon,” and charged into battle. It felt different then fighting in
practice. There she always knew she would never die. In this fight, the fear of
death was always there, never being far away. “Kinzaki dodge!” she shouts and
extends both her arms again. A beam of ice shoots out, but both foe dodge that
attack easily as well. ‘Bah, I shouldn’t have shouted it out,’ she drew her
kunai and engages into melee. Bunshin, kawamiri and shushin she used them
perfectly got behind the first foe and sliced his throat.
The second one was tougher. He wouldn’t let them get behind him.
It was as if he knew the way of the shinobi, and as she finally cut his throat,
it was a kawamiri.
“Damn!” she cursed. “Where did he go Kinzaki?” and she turned to
look at him. He was just smiling and approached her. “Kinzaki?” he grabbed her
arms and was pressing her against tree trunk. Holding her tight he starts
foddeling with her legs. “Kinzaki, what the hell you doing? There is still an
enemy out there.... aghh....” he was touching her between her legs. ‘Could it
be a genjutsu? Then how am I going to get out of it? The ice... You are going
to pay dearly for this...’ She concentrates, trying to grasp that hot sharp and
ice cold feeling again while being molested. Fixated she engulfed herself and
Kinzaki in ice, but it felt more like water, as if she could move within it.
And she could, sliding out of the ice prison Yuki finds the foe imprisoned in
her ice block.
She found Kinzaki unconscious on the ground. Performing an
anti-genjutsu she woke him out of him sleep. The two of them were then guarding
each other for any other attacks while watching over Uehon’s body. Only after
the sun rose, did their sensei come back.
“They captured Takefuku,
what is your situation?” he says out of breath.
“Uehon is dead.” Yuki said cold, “and the attackers, we killed
three and there weren’t any others.”
“Damn, and he had so much potential. Good work Kinzaki, Yuki.
But remember our mission is not over yet...” Suzunaka is interrupted “Are we
just going to leave Uehon here, for the raven to pick him up?” Kinzaki was
furious.
“We will have to leave him here, Kinzaki,” Yuki said.
“Are you mad? How can you say that so cold? He died because he
was defending you, princess,” Kinzaki could not believe what he just heard.
“That is exactly why we have to continue.” Her tone did not
change, but tears are flowing down her cheeks. “I will avenge his death, Kinzaki,
and we will finish this cursed escort mission.”
“Sensei, can you teach me any Ice Jutsu?” “Ice Jutsu? How do you
come up with that idea?”
“Cause that is what I used last night. And it felt natural to
me.”
“Ice jutsu is a bloodline limit, dear. I can’t teach you Ice
jutsu. But I can help you with your other basic training, like water and a
little wind. But first you should learn how to walk trees.”
“And how do we do that?”
“You focus your chakra to your feet and use the chakra to hold
yourself to the trunk. Like this.” And Suzunaka demonstrates it. “How far away
are they those bandits?” Kinzaki asked.
“Their camp is about a days run away, but I overheard them, they
were moving out. I’ll have you two train while I gather some more info on
them.”
Both buried Uehon and gave him a rightful funeral before
starting their training. Kinzaki started running up the tree, but soon fell
back down. “Damn its harder then it seems.”
Yuki just stood in front of the tree for a minute, and then she
walked up the tree all the way in a single try. “Hmm, so that’s how it is. I’ll
explain it to you, Kinzaki,” Yuki said from atop.
“Whoa when did you get so good?” Kinzaki is has an astonish and
jealous tone.
“Don’t know, I guess I never cared, until now.” Yuki explained
and aided Kinzaki in his training.
It was late night when Suzunaka came back.
“They moved and with them Takefuku. But the rest of their team,
will be a lot tougher. Probably three Chunin and one Jounin. How’s the training
coming along?”
“We are done.”
“Already? Well then we
can progress to the next phase, water walking. Same as tree walking except you
continuously expend chakra into the water. You will need it. Our enemy is going
along the river and will probably not expend an attack from the water.”
“When will we be attacking?”
“After you complete the training. Also I expect you to be able
to walk on the water for at least one hour.”
Yuki had no problem with the water walking again, and aided
Kinzaki in his training. But staying on the water for an hour, that Yuki
couldn’t do. Thirty minutes was her limit.
“Damn! Is it just not possible for me to have that much chakra.”
Kinzaki didn’t have that problem. “Maybe you should have worked
out on your body more Yuki-chan.”
“Maybe,” she answers.
Frustrated she turned her ice cold feelings towards the water
and piece of ice formed which were floating on top of the water. It gave Yuki
an idea, but out of chakra, she had to rest first. After a half day of rest,
she tried it again standing in the water, but this time with a little aid from
her bloodline limit. She, instead of just standing there was walking even
running on the water after half an hour, challenged Kinzaki to a duel. Both
were brawling and skirmishing when their sensei came back.
“Alright, seems like you two are ready. I’ll tell you one more
thing. Don’t get yourself caught in a water prison jutsu. We’ll attack from the
river. Today is new moon. Its the best chance we’ll get. You two worry about
the Chunin I’ll take care of the Jounin. Teamwork is the key here.”
That night a cold breeze swept through the forest and across the
river. They quickly approached the camp and engaged in battle, throwing
shuriken ahead. Yuki rushed behind her shuriken almost in its shadow, skating
over the water as if it was ice. The first chunin dodged the first volley of
shuriken and blocked the second wave, before counter attacking the charging
Yuki. A full hit, no it was merely a bunshin, Yuki was grabbling hold of his
shoulders, she turned hundred and eighty degrees slicing him all the way
through on the way before turning towards the next foe. Kinzaki was
intercepting the third chunin.
“I can’t believe a genin took out Toyuki,“ one of them shouts,
“don’t underestimate them. Those little jerks got some bravado and a death
wish.”
They continued fighting. Both chunin pulled out water bunshin,
turning the odds in their favor. Kinzaki gets flanked and imprisoned in a water
prison, and Yuki hearing her friends imprisonment, looses concentration for a
short moment and got caught as well. Breathtaking the water prison slowly was
suffocating them. The chunin laugh heartily as they saw the two genin struggle
for their life. Yuki decided to turn her prison into ice and freed herself from
it. She immediately slew the water bunshin holding Kinzaki.
“What the heck? An Ice Element user?”
Still surprised, a chunin fell victim to Yuki’s ice spear
attack. Instead of a beam she decided to sharpen the point of the beam into a
spear now. Not satisfied with just puncturing the chunin, Yuki expands her
spear into many, many more tiny spears, piercing the chunin all over the place.
The white spears turned red in seconds afterwards.
Now alone the last chunin got desperate. He spit a great
fireball at them. Unable to avoid that attack, Kinzaki jumped in front of it
saving Yuki from most of the blast.
“Kinzaki, not you too.”
“Heh, our little princess has grown up. Time to bloom, beauty.
Show them what you are made of.”
There was no time to sorrow as the chunin prepared another blast.
Yuki defeated it with a wall of ice. Enraged she felt like cutting the chunin
into tiny pieces before jumping into close combat with the Chunin. For Yuki,
the kunai felt like cutting the air constantly. Every time the kunai clashed
with the chunin, it cut into his kunai. Every time it missed him by a hair, he
would still bleed a minor wound. ‘This feeling, it is as if when I wish to cut,
it cuts.’ On that thought she throws a shuriken at the chunin. He evaded the
shuriken, but still was cut on the side. A second shuriken came his way, and
this time Yuki put all her thoughts and force into cutting him apart. He again
avoided the shuriken, but just as Yuki had hoped for, was sliced in two. The
shuriken continued its path pass a tree. Yuki approached the dying chunin and
gave him a finishing blow.
She turned her attention towards Kinzaki. “You alright?” But he
wasn’t answering. She checked his pulse, but none was to be found. “Sensei,
Sensei, Kinzaki, he doesn’t have a pulse.”
“Your sensei ain’t coming to save you, little one.” Yuki heard a
female voice. She went into a battle position, but her enemy was nowhere to be
found. “Poor little girl, loosing all her comrades and is still fighting. Let
me give you a hug.”
Trees spawned at her feet as they were engulfing Yuki.
“Isn’t this so much more comforting, having someone hug you?
It’s a shame, but you’ll be joining your friends now too.” An arm with a kunai
extends from a tree preparing to stab Yuki.
‘Again a genjutsu.’ “Ice Element- Eternal
Ice Prison no Jutsu.”
And the whole tree froze to the liking of Yuki. Escaping the
genjutsu, she imprisoned and froze her last foe to death.
Later she found her sensei dead and buried him and Kinzaki near
the river. The diplomat she found unharmed cowering behind a tree. She finished
her escort mission, and reported back to Konoha afterwards. Go-Daime was going
to send her back into the academy, but an ANBU interrupted her with crucial
information. Looking at the member and remembering her promise to Uehon, she
asked permission to strive for a spot in ANBU. Surprised at her determination,
Go-Daime gave her a chance. Three months if she had the potential plus if she
could pass the test in three months she would be accepted. Nobody would
normally make it into ANBU in three months, even if they trained constantly.
Yuki went into the library and checked out all the books on water and wind
jutsus as well as any genjutsu that might help. Furiously she trained day in
and day out, using all kind of medicine to replenish her chakra supply.
At the end of the third month, she finally took a break. Her
body was in pain and pushed far beyond the limit. The medicine made her health
really weak. On the day of the exam, she was coughing badly. Go-Daime looking
at her, said “You are not fit for the test. There is no way I will let you take
this test in the condition you are in right now. Dismissed.”
“Please, Hokage-sama, give me this one chance. I worked really
hard for this.”
“Hard enough to get yourself killed, dear. I am not going to let
you kill yourself for this test. There are other ways to become a kunoichi.”
“Not for me. This is the only way for me now. Please let me take
the test.”
“… Fine, but at the first sign of weakness, the test will be
canceled.”
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
Her test was to retrieve a document from some ninjas who hid
themselves in the Country of the Bird. Again
to that cursed land. Yuki would have to go. However, there was a time limit:
one week. ANBU were to watch and evaluate her. She quickly packed scrolls and
weapons into her pouch some clothing and headed out. She arrived at the Bird Country
without any interference. In a village she switched to clothing more common,
disguising herself as a local girl. She found the diplomat whom she escorted
still to be in the country, and asked for a favor he owed her. Having gained a
foot hold she then poked around even using what feminine appeal she had to gain
insight where those two missing ninjas were.
Five days passed, before she found them. Summoning a raccoon,
she had it search out and explore the hideout. At night fall of the sixth day
she attacked. Mist surrounded the hideout and she moved in. Her raccoon
companion went straight for the document, a scroll, none the less as the
fugitives were still looking for an attacker. By the time they notice the
scroll went missing, the raccoon, Taka, was already back in Yuki’s arms. She
made her escape with the scroll in her pouch.
Soon she could hear pursuers following her. She guided them
towards the river before they caught up. On the river then, they fought, two
versus one. They tried flanking her a couple of times, but each time Yuki
slipped out of their trap. Having enough of this cat and mouse game, they used
fire jutsu to burn her away. The first time she dodged but the second came mid
air and hit her full on. Yet, all they found was hot steam as the flame
disappeared.
“A Kawamiri? Where did she hid herself?”
“Left, right, back, up. Nowhere to be found.”
“Beneath us?” Looking down they found the water no longer to
rippling, instead it was a solid piece of ice and their feat were frozen in it.
“Damn when did that happen?”
“Ice Element- Eternal Ice Prison no Jutsu.”
From the frozen feet the ice grew, surrounding both ninjas and
engulfing them in it.
“Ice Element- Bloodletter.” Both prisoners bled out leaving a
red prison behind.
Yuki continues to travel all night, before she arrives at
Konoha’s gates. There she hands over the documents to Go-Daime. “Good work, and
congratulation. You are now a member of ANBU. You are aware that you loose your
name and identity within ANBU and as long as you are part of ANBU you have no
name.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Then take a break and report to the hospital. You have pushed
yourself too far.”
…..
“Captain…Captain Kawahana-san. It is time to go.” A subordinate
arrives at the waterfall.
“Oh, yes, lets go,” Kawahana (Yuki) answers.
