A slightly cold breeze
passed a boy sitting a dark corner of what seemed like an abandoned alley.
There was garbage everywhere, and the walls around the boy towered high. No
light was allowed and there were no windows anywhere. It seemed the little boy
was weeping silently, and soon even the cold breeze would leave him all to
himself.
All alone.
The cold breeze moved
miles away from the boy in fact, and it seemed to be visiting boys in the same
condition. This time, the cold breeze could no longer stay cold and was roughly
pulled into several other breezes, before it could call himself one again. It
reduced its pace to find another sobbing boy sitting on top of a roof, also
completely alone and abandoned.
The breeze chose to leave
this boy alone as well…
And it moved onto other
Countries, other children who were feeling alone… until it approached great
mountains and blew the hairs of an old man in front of the old man’s eyes. This
is where the breeze ended its travelling.
“You’re not alone.” The
old man seemed to reprimand to a young, panting girl.
Judging the appearances of
both man and girl, one would definitely say they had been sparring, in the
middle of mountains, nonetheless. The girl was almost panting her lungs out,
which made one conclude the man was being very harsh to her.
“Stop your panting.” The
man ordered, immediately receiving a sharp glare. “Do your worst, little girl…”
He taunted with a grin.
The girl, perhaps 5 years
old, rushed forward in fury, only to be punched in the stomach and grabbed by
her face, to make her nose land on the man’s knee. The man snorted as the girl
flew away from him because of the blow, landing on her back, skidding farther
ahead.
The girl didn’t have time
to get up as the man landed harshly on the girl’s stomach, breaking her ribs
with one foot. “Get up!” The man bellowed as he jumped off of her again.
The man shook his head. “I
will not pity you, girl! Get up!” He spat as she refused to get up. The man
then sighed, realizing the girl really wouldn’t be able to get up again. He
approached her and gave her medical treatment via Chakra.
“I’m sorry, Tayuya-chan…”
The man said; realising the girl was unconscious. “But somewhere out there…
There are boys that need to be protected in the future… Boys, who are hated,
despised and tortured throughout their entire lives. I want to make you strong enough
to make a difference…”
The man smiled warmly as
the girl was perfectly fine again. He rose to his feet and watched the girl
sleep. “Enjoy your dreams while you still can, Tayuya-chan… Dark times are
coming…”
“Mitarashi-sensei…” The
girl murmured in her sleep.
Angelic Nature
- Prologue
She had come from very far
and has seen a lot of things before her eyes. Her very first teacher was
murdered before her eyes by a Shinobi from the Leaf. The Shinobi was about to
kill her as well, but she was saved by a Legendary Sannin, also from the Leaf.
At that age, she didn’t
understand why a Leaf would kill another Leaf, but she did realize that this
man had saved her life. She took a last glance at her teacher, dead on the
ground, before her saviour approached her.
“My name is Orochimaru.”
He had said in a warm voice. “Do you have somewhere you can go to?”
And from then on, Tayuya
followed Orochimaru everywhere around.
---
Orochimaru had ordered one
of his strongest subordinates to kill the man teaching the young girl with so
much potential. He was surprised to see that the teacher was actually winning.
‘He’s a Mitarashi, with his style of fighting it’s easily recognisable…’
He didn’t expect his
subordinate to lose, so he intervened with a Genjutsu from a distance. Orochimaru
had also ordered that his subordinate must kill the girl, so when he was about
to do so, Orochimaru killed the subordinate, earning the little girl’s trust
easily.
How he would explain to
Leaf, how he lost his only Jounin partner during this S-Rank mission was easy.
The mission had been accomplished the day before and they were already on the
way back home. But Orochimaru had sensed a powerful Chakra in the mountains
near the Stone Country…
Orochimaru had threatened
he would kill his subordinate if he didn’t obey his orders, he could manipulate
people easy in different ways, after all…
Tayuya was the little
girl’s name. She would become one of his potential new vessels. Now only to
perfect the pesky development of the Curse Seal. Orochimaru had told Tayuya to
stay in a small Village, which would become the Sound Village in a few years
and train there under a few subordinates of him.
---
Back in Leaf, Orochimaru
immediately went through the records if there were any Mitarashis left in the
Village and was surprised to find a few. A Genin, Mitarashi Anko, and Genin for
three years now…
The old teacher of Tayuya
was a Mitarashi, a very impressive one at that, if he could bring out the
potential of this Anko, he would have another, albeit older, vessel for later
use…
---
Mitarashi Anko had been
disappointing, falling in love with him after a year. That year, the Fourth
Hokage was announced. Jiraiya’s prized pupil. Orochimaru had feared the
potential of that certain Shinobi and concluded he would not be able to take
this one down easily.
The Fourth was perhaps
even more powerful than himself…
He left Anko with his most
powerful Curse Seal and ran away from Leaf, to form the Sound Village… He had
already caught a few vessels that were waiting for him.
Tayuya and Sakon seemed to
have the best potential…
---
“Let me the fuck out, you
ugly bastards!”
“Shut up, Sound Bitch!”
Tayuya had failed
Orochimaru-sama. She had even been captured by Konoha. She cursed at having
failed her master.
Then, suddenly, a purple-haired
woman stepped in the room. Tayuya narrowed her eyes, reading that the woman
couldn’t be much older than her… But what the woman said surprised her even
more…
“You’ve been taught by my
father…”
---
Yamanaka Inoshi and Morino
Ibiki were both working on Tayuya, telling her exactly what Orochimaru had done
and what happened in the history of the Leaf and Sound.
Orochimaru had ordered for
her very first teacher to be killed…
Yamanaka Inoshi was able
to visit the memories of the young Tayuya and was surprised to hear the words
her very first teacher spoke to her. He realised Tayuya couldn’t remember her
first few years, so it was logical Tayuya really didn’t remember much of her
first teacher, only that he was killed before her eyes.
“I don’t know much, but I
do know that your first teacher was indeed the father of Mitarashi Anko.”
Yamanaka Inoshi said. ‘He was a legend, being on equal level with Hatake
Sakumo, so this girl must be really powerful, to have been taught by him… Too
bad she carries a Curse Seal.’
“Orochimaru has
manipulated you well.” Ibiki said.
“Why the hell should I
believe you morons! You Leaf are scum! Trying to brainwash me here!” Tayuya
screamed. “Leave me alone, you bastards!”
Ibiki shook his head. “You
remember your first teacher’s name?”
Tayuya snorted. “Of
course… But that doesn’t mean I immediately believe you!”
Inoshi suddenly spoke up.
“The mission your very first teacher gave you was… To protect all the
Jinchuurikis…” He said. “A normal girl like you wouldn’t make a real difference.
Why did the Legendary Mitarashi believe she could mean something?”
Morino Ibiki regarded the
foul-mouthed Tayuya coolly. “Your Clan, you know anything about it?”
“Who would tell a monkey
like you!” Tayuya spat in his face. “Fucking Leaf idiots!”
Morino immediately
performed a few handseals. Tayuya’s reaction to that was a snort.
Inoshi sighed. “This is
going to be one tough nut to crack…”
---
Tayuya said dazed on top
of her bed, in an isolation cell in Konoha. She had been sent here, after she
effectively countered a Torture Genjutsu from Morino Ibiki. To think a girl
could counter a Telepathic Genjutsu. Inoshi and Ibiki understood that the girl
was especially good for countering those, her strong will really reminded them
of Anko, too…
Inoshi had explained to
her the day before that he had used a sort of telepathic Jutsu on her, which
would force her to relive her very first years in her dreams. What she dreamt
about was very surprising.
She had found a purpose
again, but was now captured by Leaf.
The door opened to reveal
the female Hokage and a large man beside her, with long white hair and red
streaks running down his cheeks.
“What the fuck do you two
want?” She mumbled as she lay back in the bed.
Jiraiya chuckled. “You
weren’t kidding when you said she was foul-mouthed…” He shook his head snorted.
“I still think the brat’s worse, though…”
“Get to it, Jiraiya… I
don’t have all day…”
Tayuya refused to let her
eyes widen. ‘Jiraiya… So he’s the other Legendary Sannin…’
“Ok, redhead.” Jiraiya
began.
“Screw you, old man!”
Tayuya immediately countered.
Jiraiya frowned. “So
offensive, isn’t she? I know of a way to make the Curse Seal have a bigger
effect on your body. To strengthen it, actually… But the strain it causes on
your body is so big, that you’ll die…” He ended with a grin. “So I’m going to
use a sealing Jutsu on top of your Curse Seal. You won’t be able to activate it
as easy as before, and if you do, it’ll immediately go to its fullest
potential, putting you in life danger…”
“So you’re doing this so I
won’t use the Curse Seal anymore?” Tayuya concluded. “I don’t care. Even if I
die, I’ll use it if it’ll gain me victory.”
‘She doesn’t care about
her own life…’ Jiraiya thought sadly. “As you wish…” He did a single handseal
which froze Tayuya completely. “Now that that’s done, I can easily put the
Jutsu on your Juinjutsu. ”
Tayuya wanted to growl a
reply, but even found it unable to speak.
“Surprised?” Jiraiya
chuckled. “Orochimaru might be a genius and all… But my Chakra Capacity is
still a lot bigger than his…” He narrowed his eyes. “And so is my Killer
Intent…”
---
It had been a few years
and Tayuya was still in Leaf, now Konoha Chuunin. She remembered her purpose in
life and had trained even harder than her days with Orochimaru. She had found a
good friend in Mitarashi Anko and Morino Ibiki, but had distanced herself from
most other Shinobis.
Sometimes she would come
across Nara Shikamaru, but she would just ignore him or snort at him. When the
Sand Shinobi Temari was in town, it was always dangerous. It was a known fact
Tayuya hated Temari’s guts. Shikamaru always had to use his Shadow Bind
Technique.
She didn’t really
recognise the other Shinobis who went on that particular mission with Shikamaru
years ago, but she wouldn’t forget Shikamaru himself and the blonde idiot who
had fooled her in the Forest back then.
She had never come across
that certain blonde idiot, actually. Not that she really cared. Maybe he died
during the mission?
But her mission in life
was to find these Jinchuuriki-things. She didn’t really now if she could help
these beings, but she promised she would try, for the sake of Mitarashi-sensei…
Her second mission was to
avenge her first teacher and kill her second teacher. In that aspect, she
shared that goal with Anko.
“Tayuya-san!”
Tayuya, as always, glared
at the one who called her name so loudly through the streets. “What do you
want, weakling?”
Lee chuckled
embarrassedly, but turned serious after that. “We have to rescue Sakura-san and
her team! An ANBU Team has returned and just reported to have come across very
powerful Chakra signatures in the area where they were headed. We have to go to
Hidden Grass!”
“I don’t care about
Sakura.” Tayuya replied. “You go with your happy go lucky sensei, your team.
I’m not going.”
Lee pouted. “Tayuya-san…”
Tayuya rolled her eyes. “I
didn’t think your face could go from bad to even worse…”
“Gai-sensei and Neji-san
are out on a mission! You’re the only one beside Ten-Ten-san who I can go to!
Everyone else is on a mission!”
“Go alone, then! I don’t
care!” Tayuya yelled, losing her patience with the hyperactive boy in front of
her.
“Actually, it might be
interesting…”
Tayuya didn’t look
surprised at all as a woman appeared behind her. “You too, Anko?”
Anko shrugged. “If you
didn’t know… A Jinchuuriki is involved…”
Tayuya’s eyes widened.
“I’m going!” She suddenly said, full of determination.
Lee fell on his back
because of the sudden change…
---
As they were nearing the
borders of Fire Country, Anko ordered her team to stop their movements. The
team was consistent of Rock Lee, Tayuya, Aburame Shino and Mitarashi Anko.
“Someone’s coming at us in
a very high speed…” Anko whispered and hid. The rest of the team hid as well.
All of a sudden, all of
them were bound by tree branches…
Anko’s eyes narrowed.
‘Only one person can do this…’ She thought as she struggled to get free.
Tayuya and Shino were
already free, ready to fight.
Shino suddenly froze and
Tayuya, who was close by him, noticed. “What’s wrong?” She whispered carefully…
Shino managed to turn his
head, although slowly. “My bugs have frozen because of fear…”
Tayuya’s eyes widened as
she felt a presence appear in front of her. Dark red eyes glared in all its
intensity at her. ‘A-a demon!’
“Halt!” Anko shouted. “We
are all Konoha Shinobis!”
Yamato released the bind
on both Anko and Lee and focused on the team. “I’m sorry, Mitarashi-san. One
can not be careful enough…” Anko glared at him, before turning to the person
standing in front of Tayuya. Yamato sighed. “Naruto, drop the Killer Intent
already!”
Naruto’s eyes turned back
to blue as he still glared at Tayuya. “I remember this girl, Yamato-taichou!
She’s from the Sound! She works for that damn Orochimaru!”
Before Naruto could react,
Tayuya punched Naruto in the face… hard. It knocked him off the tree branch
they were both standing on. Tayuya was surprised to see Naruto puff away and
found a Kunai at her throat.
“See?” Naruto yelled from
behind Tayuya. “She wanted to kill me!”
Tayuya was a bit
surprised, but had already formed a few handseals to create a Genjutsu around
Naruto… That was, until Yamato appeared behind Naruto and put a hand on the
blonde’s shoulder. “It’s okay, Naruto-kun, she’s a Leaf-nin now.”
Naruto frowned at Yamato.
“What! When did Leaf allow Sound Shinobis to become Leaf ones!” He let out
amazed, never putting the Kunai away from Tayuya’s neck. “And don’t think I
can’t sense the Genjutsu you’re creating!” He growled at Tayuya…
Tayuya’s eyes widened.
‘This one’s a lot more talented that I first thought… And what was that strange
feeling just before… when he had those red eyes?’
“Naruto!” Sakura let out,
standing next to Sai on another tree branch. “Let’s go home already!”
Tayuya snorted as Naruto
pulled his Kunai away from her neck. “Fine, fine…” He grumbled. “But I don’t
like you…” He mumbled at Tayuya.
The red-haired young woman
snorted again. “Like I care. The feeling’s mutual.”
The two glared at each
other, before facing away.
“Yamato-taichou. How in
the hell could she have become a Leaf Shinobi?” Naruto asked softly as they
were on the move again.
Yamato chuckled. “It’s a
long story, but she’s really on our side…” He paused. “Oh, I think you two will
get to know each other a lot better too…”
Naruto glared. “No way in
hell… She helped in getting Sasuke away from Leaf…”
Tayuya glared at Naruto’s
back. ‘I’m guessing he’s the Jinchuuriki, hmm? To think I have to protect an
idiot like that!’ She thought. ‘Are all Jinchuurikis like him?’
---
Tayuya’s eyes were still
widened when they were close to the Konoha Gates… ‘This brat actually wounded
Orochimaru!’
Anko had asked Yamato on
how the mission went and the entire team got the full report, even though it
was all supposed to be a secret. But Yamato had considered it safe to tell.
Naruto was quiet on the
way back home, even when Sakura tried to talk to him.
Shino was quiet, knowing
fully well thanks to his bugs how powerful Naruto had become. Lee, for a
change, was quiet as well, listening in on Yamato and Anko’s conversation.
When the two teams
debriefed to the Hokage, Tsunade had requested Naruto to stay a bit longer…
---
“Hokage-sama…” Naruto
mumbled. “I still don’t understand how a Sound Shinobi could have become a Leaf
Shinobi…”
Tsunade smiled warmly.
“This will be very interesting to tell… I want to see your reaction.”
Naruto was still quite
angry. The red-head had a role in Sasuke’s defection. “Just tell me already.”
“Orochimaru had
manipulated her.”
“Like he has everyone. I
don’t pity weak-minded people.” Naruto let out.
“No, you set them
straight.” Tsunade let out with an amused smile.
Naruto glared. “Not
someone like this…”
“Be that as it may… She
has formerly worked under a Leaf Shinobi, under the Fourth Hokage’s orders.”
Naruto frowned. “Under the
Fourth’s?”
“Yes, the Fourth knew way
before the Kyuubi had arrived that the day would come that you would have to
become its vessel…” Tsunade started. “Mitarashi Anko’s father had the mission
to search for a Shinobi with the potential to become a Jinchuuriki… caretaker.”
“Caretaker?” Naruto let
out confused. “What the hell do we need a caretaker for? We’ve never had one,
we don’t need one!”
Tsunade glared at Naruto.
“I want you to be quiet.”
Naruto, still angry,
nodded hesitantly.
“But this… caretaker… had
to be female, as stated by Scrolls written by the First Hokage. Only one female
would be strong enough, from a specific Clan… It seems Anko’s father had found
her.”
“This red-haired girl?” Naruto said.
“She’s a young woman, older than you.” Tsunade corrected. “But yes,
Tayuya was the chosen one, it seems. Unfortunately, Orochimaru had killed
Anko’s father and manipulated Tayuya.”
Naruto’s glare softened, but his gaze was still hardened, only the glare
was no more. “So? What do you want me to do?”
Tsunade smiled. “She has made it her ‘Nindo’ to protect the
Jinchuurikis, for the sake of her very first teacher, the only one who had ever
taken care of her when she was young.”
Naruto shook his head. “And you want me to let her protect me? I’m
stronger than her, Tsunade-bachan!”
Tsunade frowned. “You’re stronger than her? How do you figure that?”
Naruto shrugged. “We kinda had a little squabble in the Forest…”
Tsunade shook her head. “I can just imagine how that went…” She sighed.
“Anyway, I want you and Tayuya in one team. It’s on orders of the deceased
Fourth Hokage… She’ll become vital in the near future for you…”
“Why so?”
“It seems the Fourth had assumptions that there will be some sort of
reactions within her body whenever you use the Kyuubi’s power…”

Ah, yes! This will be NarutoxTayuya!
Hope you enjoyed!
Greets, greets!
