Last Time:
That was the last thing any of them needed ...

It was as if she was stuck deep in an endless ocean of mud. No, it was more than that. She was buried deep under it. Just floating there and struggling to move or even breathe under the thick sludge.
Drowning, but never dying …
Unable to control yourself and slowly being crushed from every direction all while her emotions threatened to explode inside her chest …
Desperate to scream, but every time you find the strength to open your mouth you gag on the suffocating sludge ...
For years Tori was forced to endure this agony from inside her own body. She wasn’t allowed to speak or move by herself. She was, however, able to hear and see, which was both a blessing and a horror. The horror was that she was forced to see and hear that bastard, Inoichi. However, it was still a blessing and the reason she hasn’t completely lost her sanity since she could see and hear her daughter.
Her sweet baby who was being controlled just like her …
The mere thought of what Inoichi did to her and her baby made her anger grow. She had to get out. She had to save her baby. She had to kill that monster …
After so long something finally changed. The sludge was being drained. It was slow, but she could feel it and for the first time in so long she could feel solid ground against one toe.
Every moment brought more and more contact with that solid surface. Soon she felt her entire body sink down until she was lying face down on solid ground and the sludge only continued to lower. A few more moments ticked by and for the first time she felt air on her back. For the first time in so long she was allowed to move of her own free will.
It was a bit difficult, but she managed to get her stiff and weakened limbs under her so she was on all fours. As she rested in that position she opened her eyes and stared at the lowering sludge. It wasn't until her hands were revealed that realization set in and she struggled to stand on her feet. She stood there and watched the last remnants of the sludge disappear.
She took a deep breath of fresh air, moved her fingers, looked at her body and remembered. It felt amazing to feel her lungs fill with air. To be able to move on her own two feet was truly a blessing, but the blissful feeling of freedom didn’t last.
All that pain, betrayal, heartache came flooding back. She remembered how Inoichi attacked her, imprisoned her and treated her. Her mind may be free, but that wasn’t anywhere near enough. Every fiber of her being wanted that man to pay for what he did. For what he allowed others to do to her. What added to her rage was that her beloved daughter was just as trapped as she was and it must end. There was no time to waste.
All of that hatred that built up for years flooded her mind, her body and she finally truly woke up for the first time in years. Unfortunately, she was ready to destroy the first person close to her …

Shibi listened to the insects chatter, “Ease up a bit. Inoichi’s chakra is almost gone. We don’t want to drain too much of her own chakra.”
One other Aburame standing across from Shibi on the opposite side of the bed leaned in, “I see some sparks.”
“Is it just static or-“ The next thing Shibi was going to ask was if the sparks could be Tori’s chakra acting up after being repressed for so long. After all, they did drain the chakra blocking seal, which was a much more powerful one than even the most dangerous prisoners get, so a bit of chakra surges were expected as it settled.
Unfortunately, everyone realized immediately that this was not the case when a massive surge of chakra blasted everyone, both insect users and their chakra eating insects, back. Despite crashing into the walls Shibi and the other Aburames tried to recollect themselves. What no one expected was that their insects couldn’t even get close to the whirlpool of wild chakra and the clan members were having trouble standing as if something stunned their bodies.
Shibi winced as he tried to move his numb body, “Dammit.” He hissed and ordered his insects back into his body to repair the damage and judging by the disappearance of all the beetles it looked like the rest of his clan had the same idea. It was getting even more dire as each second passed since the chakra was actually getting hotter and hotter. The heat was already causing small fires. If they didn’t hurry and get control of the situation then this won’t end well for anyone.
Everyone was backing away from the bed and trying to heal and it was more than just the wild chakra. They all tensed as Tori, whose clothes were dissolving due to the intense power of her chakra, slowly stood on the floor. With her eyes blinded by pure rage she looked up and let out a furious scream that was followed by another shock wave of wild chakra.
Unlike his family members Shibi had the unfortunate luck of being right in front of the woman. As her gaze lowered from the ceiling her chakra surged again and when Tori’s eyes locked onto the insect clan head he knew he was in trouble. With the fire growing and smoke filling up the room Tori charged.
“Tori!” Shibi yelled just barely managing to roll out of the way before Tori’s fist created a crater in the wall right where he was a second ago. He took a second to truly admire the woman’s deadly power. It was incredibly impressive that she’d be so strong after being forced to live as a civilian for years, but his heart broke when he looked at her eyes. Those eyes held so much pain and anger. “Tori … you know us-“
As sympathetic as Shibi was to the vengeance seeking eyes it didn’t help him. Tori didn’t even bother removing her fist from the hole she already made in the wall. She just swung her cement encased arm and carved a path in the wall at insane speeds. Sadly, that path ended with Shibi’s face.
“Shibi!” The Aburame members exclaimed as their clan head rocketed into another wall. However, they immediately noticed that Shibi’s insects had provided a barrier so he wasn’t too badly hurt. This shock made Tori’s chakra focus solely on Shibi so it wasn’t so wild, which also gave them an opening. They let their insects swarm and cover the pissed off woman’s body before her chakra went wild again. However, no matter what they did they couldn’t stop Tori from getting her hands around Shibi’s throat.

Gaara glanced at his older brother and sister as they raced through the treetops, “You’re thinking about what father spoke to you two about, aren’t you?”
The guy with face makeup sighed, “You’ve been listening in again, Gaara?”
“Unless it’s when you’re bringing a girl to your puppet room, Kankuro, then yes I always listen.” Gaara commented bluntly making his brother turn bright red and splutter, but save for a slight smirk Gaara didn’t really react. He focused on the blonde with four ponytails. “Temari? I won’t let-“
“I know.” Temari said with a soft smile, but the smile turned sad. “After everything our bastard father put you though I really shouldn’t be so pissed right now-“
“Why?” Gaara asked bluntly. “Him organizing attacks on me, encouraging hate towards me and being a monster is expected. That’s how it has always been. You two were treated like actual parts of his family. The part he cherished and didn’t see as a weapon. Then he suddenly tells you both to get ready because you’re being married off for treaties that he then didn’t explain and implied that you should feel obligated because you were treated well. At least, I know what to expect. You didn’t. That sounds like a slap in the face and a good reason to be pissed.”
Both of the oldest siblings stayed silent for a while after that. They just pondered what their brother said and how things have changed over the years. After all, just years ago they were indifferent, and even a bit clueless, about how cruel their father was to their little brother. In fact, they were terrified when they were told to start taking missions with him, but their fears were never justified.
Every mission with Gaara only ever proved that he wouldn’t hurt them. They even dared try to provoke him at times, but he always shrugged it off. Considering the rumors about Gaara never lined up they slowly started understanding that everything they thought they knew was wrong. They finally started seeing him as a brother and that’s when something odd happened.
It was just a normal mission, but they don’t remember much because they were badly hurt in a fight with a ninja that used some deadly water jutsus. They saw Gaara get hit by a water jutsu and rushed to help him because they thought he was defenseless since his sand was useless. In their worry they didn’t realize that another enemy ninja was behind them until the needles hit them. The very strange part came after they woke up.
When they woke up they saw Gaara calmly sitting with them and the enemy ninjas were lying far away and, unless it’s possible to live without a head, they were very dead. Temari asked Gaara how he killed the enemies without his sand and Gaara just said he knew other ways of fighting. Kankuro realized they were poisoned by the needles and asked Gaara where he got the antidote and where the extra bandages came from. Gaara said he took them from the bodies and Gaara quickly put the ointment jar in his own pack.
What was strange about that?
One: Where did Gaara learn other fighting techniques when the village is completely against him?
Two: How did Gaara get a healing ointment that looked like it was a type of ointment from Konoha?
Of course, they made these points. After all, they were hurt that Gaara would lie. Gaara simply told them there were three people he’d gladly lie, kill and die for, which was them and the person he contacted for help. It was that moment that they found out Gaara had a friend that no one knew about.
“You won’t see me on this mission.” Gaara said, effectively breaking them out of their thoughts.
Temari frowned, “Why?”
“I’m meeting a friend.” Gaara said bluntly.
Kankuro glanced at his sister before looking at Gaara, “Couldn’t that wait until after-“
“If it was a real mission then yes, but this meeting is the point.” Gaara commented without slowing down.
“Gaara.” Temari hesitated to figure out how to properly word her suspicions. “Are you and your friend planning to overthrow our father?”
Gaara hummed softly in thought, “Would you be against it?”
“No.” Both older siblings said bluntly.
Then, after a few moments of silence, Temari sighed, “Do we actually get to meet your friend or are you going to ditch us to meet him alone?” Gaara didn’t answer, but they hoped to learn who his friend was. At this point they were considering bugging Gaara until he told them who his friend was …

A dozen blonde clones raced into the Aburame compound ready to help in any way. Of course, they first charged into the basement and half of them started putting out the literal fires as the other half tried to figure out the danger that started them. The answer was frighteningly obvious the second he spotted the entire Aburame clan trying to pry a beetle covered Tori off of Shibi.
“Dammit. Tori, please stop!” Naruto’s clone yelled as they moved closer and tried to do anything to calm the powerful woman down.
Muta shook his head as Shibi was pressed deeper into the wall due to Tori’s intense strength, “It’s no use. She can’t hear us and our insects are weakening her, but they can only do so much without hurting her! Naruto!”
The Aburames gaped in shock when Tori shook violently to try to get rid of them. She didn’t do much to the beetles, but it dispelled the closest Naruto clones. Now only four clones were left and they were stopping the fires.
A blonde clone, who slapped a ventilation seal on the floor to handle the smoke, stood up and tried to help, “Ok … let’s try again. Tori, I need to talk to you.” He said calmly as he got as close to Shibi as possible.
This time Tori saw him, “Hokage-sama?”
Naruto blinked, but didn’t waste time thinking about it since Shibi was turning purple, “I got your report, Tori. The most important thing is that Ino is safe. As for the people who hurt you they will pay, but if you want to help we need your sharp mind. I order you to rest and prepare for revenge.” The Naruto clone said hoping his similarities to Minato would be enough to get her to react. After all, she was promoted by the late hokage and probably respected him.
“Ino …” Tori whimpered and finally pulled back. When she let Shibi go she nearly fell over in exhaustion, but a couple Aburames picked her up and took her back to the slightly charred bed. She didn’t quite shut her eyes, but she rested.
Shibi gagged as he was helped to his feet, “Thank goodness you look like your father.” He said with a hoarse throat, but before they could relax the doorbell to the compound rang. The bugs from outside zipped in and told them something. “The fire attracted attention … Inoichi and Hiashi are here.”
Naruto’s clone winced. They weren’t sure whose side Hiashi would fight for, but if he looked through the byakugan and told Inoichi anything they were in danger ...
