Tsuki Yuhi's Story

"I see ... well I am Tsuki Yuhi . . ."

she responded, she neglected to accept his handshake but he didn't let it bother him any, it must have been strange to be spoken to in a generally friendly manner when the rest of the villagers treated her like scum. He noticed how those who were around looked at her when she said her name and it bugged the hell out of him, the nine tails jinchurki had once came to be revered among the people of the hidden leaf but time allowed the nine tails to revert to it's malicious and destructive nature, even so he felt there was no reason to treat the girl the way she was treated, like she was the monster. Mana simply put his hands up behind his head and smiled.

" Well it's good to finally meet the infamous nine tails Jinchurki " he said in response, hoping the comment wouldn't be met with hostility as he knew it must've been a sensitive subject for her. The moment she mentioned the choosing of cells his grin got a little wider, if that was even possible. He was surprised when the soft spoken Tohru spoke, she usually just remained quite in drifted into the background around peers but it seems being put into cells to become real Hidden Leaf ninja was fresh on her mind as well.

" Of course I'm excited, who ever they put me we're gunna be the best Genin cell for sure! And don't worry about all that Tohru! " he responded with confidence, the girl was so nice and polite who could really dislike her? " I'm sure who ever it is you get teamed up with will love you, and even if they are bade we are all only beginners, as long as we stay alive we'll all be growing stronger together, count on it!" There was no doubt about he was ready to become a ninja at last, ready to become strong and fight for his beloved village and no matter how weak or strong his future teammates would be he looked forward to the future they would all be headed to.

"What about you Tsuki? You ready to become a ninja? "

For all the while Tsuki was feeling comfortable among the two until that point.

" Well it's good to finally meet the infamous nine tails Jinchurki " It was very apparent at this point that many villagers grew silent, turning as if Mana said something forbidden. Tsuki's mind went blank feeling the tension around her. They looked at Tsuki and then to Tohru and Mana. Mainly Mana for saying such a thing without thought.

Finally at the end Tsuki didn't even consider answering or responding to Tohru even if she did nothing hostile. Her facial expression showed disappointment and anger. Within the darkness of her mind she began to think. "First, I am born and all through my life no one treats me well, I have never known why either, nor do i care due to the fact I am still human. Now thinking people were actually coming to befriend me with kindness, only to be revealed that someone tells me I am the Jinchuriki who attacked this village". Tsuki shook her head and looked towards Mana.

"Perhaps another time, but if anything I hope i get with someone who doesn't insult me even if they show acts of kindness!" Tsuki spoke with a bit of disappointment as well as anger. It wasn't that she believed what Mana said but she took the village to heart and refused to think that she was responsible for what tragedies befallen the village. At the end, Tsuki eyes came to be slightly emotionaless speaking under her breath.

"Just like everyone else..." She said. She then turned to Tohru patting her gently on the shoulder before dashing off. Tsuki rushed passed many people who looked at her in fear, anger or any slight bit of curiosity. It only came to be that she finally stopped in front of a pond. She took her katana out and slammed it into the dirt. Tsuki then walked gently towards the calm water and sank her feet in, sitting down on the warm ground. She looked up into the sky wondering if such words could be true, her thoughts made her think it could be a possibility but she shook her head.

"When the time comes...I'll find out the truth myself..." Tsuki spoke quietly to herself.

Tsuki looked at her reflection among her Katana and forced a smile on her face. She couldn't be down after this one comment. Tsuki finally became a Ninja and was bond to get a team herself, even if the village gave her struggle. She only had one goal and that was to make her grandmother proud. Although the smile faded once looking away from the sword, she was still a little better and confident. Her feet slid from the water and stood up, Tsuki's hand gripped the hilt of her blade and looked forward in thought.


The Jonin's arrived about 5 to 10 minutes after the order was given. Megami's hands flung down to her desk as Megami herself began to speak. Her tone serious, her facial expression too. Her hands layed flat on the desk as her eyes looked straight ahead, towards them. The Jonin's could see this was no ordinary mission and felt the importance.

"Listen you two, We are to set off to Konoha immediately. I have a Kage's meeting to attend and I do not wish to be late. Know among this time, I do not wish to be delayed and will not tolerate failure among this mission. Being such I need you two, to keep up with me. Once there you do not have to be with me but stay alert and close. Our village's ties are weakening and there may be a chance that a battle may break out but know we will do everything we can to avoid that if we can - If no other questions are needed then lets move out"

Without another word, the eager Raikage immediately flickered out the two jonin's following and the three made its way towards Konoha. The Jonin's eyes were alert as there minds wondered. They couldn't help but be curious of what the meeting could be about. It wasn't everyday they saw there laidback Kage so worked up. One tried to speak but Megami immediately replied "I will answer nothing to this until i have a little more information". After crossing the land to get to Konoha, they finally arrived.

Megami looked around at the village and smiled at how lively things were. She immediately got recognition at the booth before entering and walked down the streets the Jonin on top of the buildings as if they were waiting for something to attack her. The raikage's deep purple seemed as if she was looking for someone. As it was true, Megami was looking - Looking for Tsuki. She was by no means going to run around the city but she was curious of how she may had grown. After minutes of her eyes scoping out where the Jinchuriki may have been. She could only shrug. Sadly for her it was only minutes from when Tsuki rushed away from Tohru and Mana. Megami only looked over to Mana and Tohru as she went by them.

She'd been walking for only a couple of minutes, or so she thought. Meeting some villagers on the way, getting and giving some greetings, simple small chatter. There was nearly nothing new, and she was kind of happy that she was alone now, and that the only thing that kept Kia from wandering off in her own thoughts were her footsteps, seeming to stop her from drowning in her own mind. This was until she heard someone else's, it was like she got snapped back into reality. She took a glance in the direction where she heard it from, she saw a dark-haired girl, maybe around her age.

Something told Kia that she shouldn't go after the girl, but something else was like whispering that she should. Being the stubborn girl she is, she decided to walk towards her, and ended up running to the girl. A couple of feet away, Kia already recognized her somehow, but she only knew her as "Tsuki" and nothing else. Kia was having second thoughts, maybe this wasn't a good time to talk to the girl, or maybe she was going to bother her. But it was, perhaps, too late. Being a ninja, she assumed that Tsuki would've noticed that she was behind her right now... and that she was staring at her. It would also be fairly rude if she suddenly leaves with no words spoken.

She stopped arguing with herself and finally decided to talk to her, although part of Kia was still protesting against it, "'Mind if I stay here?" she asked, not trying to come off impolite or anything. She knelt beside Tsuki and tilted her head, she wasn't any less than four feet away from the said girl, "Tsuki, am I right?" she quietly waited for the lady's reaction, her gaze still not averted.

Tohru Hyuga

Tohru waited in response for the two but she did not expect what came next.
" Well it's good to finally meet the infamous nine tails Jinchurki " Mana said to Tsuki. Jinchurki, the name sounded familiar to Tohru. She supposed that her father had said that word a few times before. Tohru then realized the stares and glares that the group got. It made Tohru feel uncomfortable and she knew that what Mana said wasn't a good thing. So this is what it feels like, she thought, to be despised by everyone. The thought made Tohru mentally shiver and she instantly felt bad for Tsuki.

Tsuki looked disappointed with darkness underneath. Tohru never knew that Tsuki was ever bullied this bad. It must hurt a lot. It made Tohru upset that people were treating her so harshly even if Tohru didn't fully understood what was going on, and without conscious, Tohru clenched her fists together.

"Perhaps another time, but if anything I hope i get with someone who doesn't insult me even if they show acts of kindness!" Tsuki's shout broke Tohru from her thoughts and surprised her. Her tone was angry and is was a bit frightening.

Before Tsuki ran off, she gently patted Torhu's shoulder and Tohru looked up in surprise.

"Tsuki..." Tohru said under her breath. She watched Tsuki dash away quickly before standing there awkwardly with Mana. She did not know what to say to him or if he was feeling bad about Tsuki as was Tohru. She knew that Mana did not mean his comment as a bad thing but he should not have said it. Tohru was about to speak when she noticed a lady walking their way. Someone that she did not know. Was she foreign? These people keep on popping up, thought Tohru.

"M-mana..." Tohru said quietly nodding her head to the newcomer so that he could see her. Who was this foreigner?

Mana Uchiha

"Just like everyone else..." was the last thing she said before she turn and ran off behind a crowd of people and leaved a stunned Mana standing the with his mouth ajar as he looked around at the angry faces of the surrounding villagers who over heard what had just happened. ' there's no way'..' he thought, there was just no way that she didn't know the truth, how could people let a girl go through her childhood hated by her own people without even knowing why? It would seem the whole situation was far more delicate than he thought and now he'd just chased her off after coming all this way to meet her.

" Great, smooth Mana, real smooth " he said to himself with his palm pressed firmly against his face, he began toiling over what he should to rectify the situation so she wouldn't completely hate him..and there was now the possibility of him getting in huge trouble for possibly reveling an important secret, though it didn't seem like she believed him so he just might be able to get out of dodge. In any case she certainly would have found out the truth herself one day, he thought it was a stupid idea to keep something so vital from a person when it has caused them to endure such hardship then again the village counsel never really cared for the individual it would seem. Every decision they made was always fr the prosperity of the Leaf Village so they must have had their reasons.

" but still...that's messed up " he muttered to himself as he clenched his fist, he let his hand fall to his side as he looked up to meet the glaring eyes of the villagers, he always got looks of fear and distrust over the malicious glares they were shooting him now.' This must be what it's like for her ever day ' he thought as he shot them a look just as filled with hate and some of them actually gasped, looked away and even backed away from him, fortunately he didn't actually hate any of them but he just got so disgusted at how adults could treat them that he couldn't help but be angry. He was just about to tell those who remained off but Tohru's voice stopped him as she called his name

" Look, if your about to tell me what a jerk I am don't bother, it was a stupid thing to say I know..I'll just go apologize he said as he looked back in the direction she ran only to see someone who was yet another foreigner to the village, it was made clear by the way she dressed and the darkness of her skin, he saw her look at them as she passed them by and would have liked to inquire about it directly but he had other business which seemed more prudent " hold that thought Tohru " he said as he ran off to follow the both of them, shoving the adults aside and a few other kids his age to the ground to get through to them, he was able to follow her through the crowd of people to a pond were Tsuki sat at it's edge peering at her katana with the stranger kneeling right next to her.

" hey I'm really sorry about what I said back there, I wasn't trying to upset you or anything I was just making a joke..a really bad one " he said with a wry smile as he laughed nervously, he chose to hide the suspicion he had for the stranger for now, he wouldn't want to falsely accuse someone of some wrong doing they haven't and probably won't commit, the look on the woman's face seemed concerned rather than suspicious. He didn't speak to or acknowledge the the oddly dressed stranger that knelt at Tsuki's side, at the moment he only cared to mend a bride that was being burned before it was even built.

Koga sat there eating his ramen with his senses down and beaten. Lately, he has been out there, daydreaming and always bumping into people like Yoru. 'Whats wrong with me!' He sighs disappointed as he ate slowly, but peers towards the stall opening at the new comer.

Green eyes blinked in surprise. It was their sensei Koshikoi, Taijutsu master and a Swordman of the mist. It was quite a surprise to get him as a sensei, seeing how high ranked he was, and Kouga was very happy. Every since he was a child, he took great interest in the 7 men of the mist, the owners of great weapons in the past. To put it simply, Koshikoi was his idol, but he kept that at the down low.

'Hm maybe Sensei doesn't have any missions lately, I mean the village has been rather peaceful.' Koga thought before sitting up to properly greet his leader. Turning the stool towards his own sensei's stool, he curtly nodded showing respect gleaming within his eyes. "Hello Sensei!"


Misaki laid at the roof tops of the village buildings. She was currently asleep and very bored at the moment. There was nothing to do, other then training and she done that all yesterday. Relaxing her body, she focused on the sounds of the surrounding crowd. Rumors hit her ears, secrets and little conversations, but one voice was oddly familiar. Sitting up, Misaki eyed the crowd below her, pin pointing the location of the voice. Her black orbs stopped at an Uchiha boy who was standing near 2 others. Her eyes soften, Mana Uchiha, her distant cousin and an old friend. But that didn't matter now, he probably didn't even remember her.

Shrugging it off, she went on observing the others. As if she was a computer, information of the two genin girls came to mind quickly. The blue hair female was a hyuuga, rank genin. The other female which had black hair was easy to tell. She was Tsuki, the Ninetail holder and the one supposedly hated by all villagers and ninjas alike. But Misaki really didn't care at all of the demon within her, Tsuki was just a genin and a child of the leaf to protect with her own life. She smiles a bit before chuckling. 'Is this some genin party...?' She wonders, swiftly jumping into the crowd without notice.

Slipping past villagers, she neared the group of genin quietly and began to melt into the crowd with ease. Misaki listened into the conversation with slight interest, yet her face held no emotion other then boredom.

The stranger wasn't much of a stranger but a old lady who was just a villager not very known, she noticed mana as he apologized and figured it'd be best to take her leave. She wanted to comfort the girl but believed if someone had an apology to make. That is far greater value even if one doesn't accept it immediately. Tsuki listened to Mana but also watched the old lady walk away. She then grabbed her katana and sheathed it as she began to spoke.

"You know, I heard many bad things said to me - but none that bad. There was and still is a time where and when i cared about insults that were commonly said but -" The dark haired girl paused taking a breath as she felt the wind touch her face. Seemingly as though it was calming her down she spoke again. "But to call me the nine-tailed Jinchuriki, the one who nearly killed my grandmother and destroyed the village. Savagely almost ending everything i cared for if anything even my life. Thats a terrible thing. YOU being a Uchiha should know of a painful experience when a tragedy befallen you. At least you know of your origin and no one is calling you some beast. No one has of me either until you… Listen Mana, If we get paired you best see me as a normal person otherwise this won't end well and believe me, I'm not saying this as a threat."

Tsuki lowered down and splashed herself with water. She thought of what she said and totally agreed that her words weren't threatening. Tsuki believed that if anyone, Mana should know a struggle some life socially. As Tsuki stared into the water she could help but thing of what Mana said she looked into her reflection and noticed the water staying still as her vision made her see herself with the demon's slanted Iris's. She splashed herself once more to get the thought out of her head. Not like she thought it was true but no one enjoys a uncomfortable thought.


Megami continued walking forward as her eyes followed Mana suddenly darting off in the opposite direction. She immediately came to realization that he could have probably lead her to the jinchuriki himself but was by no means interested in following him. The long white haired kage felt the presence of her Jonin come down and follow her. She kept looking straight but decided to talk gently knowing he could hear.

"You know this is where your grandfather resided. Quite a legacy your family holds here - It does make me wonder if you hold any secrets." She said with a giggle jokingly. Megami then continued talking casually. "You come from the Uzumaki clan which makes me wonder if your clan continued the training for 'Rasengan' techniques - Have you wondered of it?" Megami was only curious of the Uzumaki clan's legacy. She never really spoke to any of the Uzumaki's when they came to Kumogakure. Mainly because there paths never collided and she was busy training. As she awaited a reply from the guy, her purple eyes viewed in on the Kage's building. She sighed in disappointment. It was only minutes from now when she would have to go in, sit in a chair in a semi darkened room with the other four and discuss such boring matters yet there were a couple that were… quite immediate and important. Those discussions were what made the meeting all the more worth it. The fact that not too long ago the eight tails is suddenly untraceable to any of the villages and to make matters worse which the unseen jinchuriki could amplify, the village's alliance and treaties are nearly severed and untrustworthy. She only could hope that when the meeting commenced things would be civil and no one would be at each others throats. Of course Megami would do her best to stay out of it seeing she was only there for the opinions of others. She never bothered discussing it unless things were entirely false.

Mana watched her as he spoke, he could see the pain in her eyes as clearly as he heard in her voice. Though he never called her the beast at all, in actuality he was saying that the best she was referring to was actually inside her as he assumed she was already aware of this. In her emotional state he could see there would be no point in trying to make her see reason, the most he could do is stick with his apology and choose his words more carefully next time around, and if possible he would help her see the truth when the time was right, to him it was simply unethical to let her go on without knowing what is insider her. Mana got down on his knees, pressed his knuckled firmly against the ground in front of him and lowered his forehead down to the ground, just this action alone was probably the best he could do to show his sincerity for a sign of humility such as this was only ever showed to lords normally.

" Please accept my sincerest apologies " he said hoping she would at least turn to acknowledge his apology if not accept it " Though I cannot honestly say I have felt your pain...my clan was nearly completely wiped out many generations ago but has managed to slightly recover since then, but I do understand the seriousness of what I said and the effect it has had on you and I promise you'll never hear harsh words like those from me again...not to you at least " he doubted they would pair them up anyways, a inheritor of the sharingan with the host of the Nine Tails? In his mind there was no way.

He heard the splashes in the lake and assumed she was simply casting stones into the water out of frustration, regardless he would remain in that bowing position until she chose to either accept his apology for sure or simply didn't and walked away. If nothing else his parent certainly did instill in him a sense of respect, pride, and humility and he didn't mind one bit bowing to her to express himself fully, even if the villagers did not fully trust him since he inherited the Uchiha clan's infamous Sharingan one good thing they could always say about him was how mature and well mannered he can be. Though honestly he was glad there weren't any around to witness him bowing other than the older woman who at this point was well on her way.

Tsuki lifted herself up after hearing Mana explain himself. She turned around examined him for a moment before sighing. It was obvious she wasn't so tense and upset, hearing words that obviously shown he was sorry was something that rather calmed her down however the thought of her being the Kyuubi still lingered in her mind. It began to make her question her life and how everyone in the village treated her. Her mind began to put pieces together as if it were a puzzle yet at the same time another part of her rejected the information immediately which caused quite a bit of inner stress which shown on the outside.

She grabbed her katana sheathing it immediately then looked at Mana for a moment. Tsuki knew she was forgetting something but what? Her eyes looked back at the water then to Mana. It came to her immediately.

"We should go get Tohru - we kinda just left her. I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way - I don't want her to feel bad" Tsuki said with a worrisome voice towards Mana. Tsuki began to run back the way she came, aiming and hoping to find Tohru in the same place if not close by but didn't count on it. They had to be away for awhile with that event going on. Either way to Tsuki, She aimed to find Tohru. She didn't exactly know why but she considered her even if very lightly spoken to a "friend". The red eyed girl scanned the village as she ran normally through the village hoping to spot Tohru soon but as one such as Tsuki may wander freely, the villagers get quite annoyed and angered. Of course with bitter reasons but some do yell as if she is doing something wrong or if they fail with distractions blame it on her as they pass by.
