Village Hidden in the Dark

The singed fabric is tough in my hands, a reminder of all the things I could have prevented. If only I had stayed with Mei...


We split up, Rinn branching off to the left while I work towards the right. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and now I wish I could play Mei's voice over and over through the air. But all there is.... is the sound of groaning wood and crackling fire.


I search through bramble and glass, small cuts on my arms and legs indicating my harsh attempts at locating someone alive.


Salt from my sweat has started to sting as it drips into my small wounds.
 
I hear a few crying children and I pull them out of the rubble and i hold them


"Dont worry we'll get you to saftey


I yell " I got a few live ones!"
 
Rinn had been within earshot of his peer, black nails digging deep into a slab of rock that was beari g down on the lower half of a student. Her hair was... nonexistent. She was bald with soft blue eyes, light tattoos covering her skin to match. Blood trickled from her nose and her shaking limbs and soft sobs weren't helping much.


"Come---on!" He grunted loudly as he mustered all his Chakra into his fingers and arms.


A deep breath.


crash!


A nearby unscathed wall went crumbling, the rock imbedded in the debis.


"What's your name?" He breathed, lifting her to her feet. "You're fucking lucky your legs aren't--"


"Ow!!" She winced, her ankle flopping strangely.


"You're lucky it's just your ankle" he grunted and lifted her over his shoulder before flitting towards Zero and the small souls.


~~~


I let a sigh escape my lips, and the quiet surrounding me is beginning to feel more fiend then friend.


I can feel these unknown emotions starting to swell...


burning burning fire.


Blood and sulfer and salt in my eyes.


Sweat.


It's hot. So hot.


Mom? Dad?


Poppy?


Where is everyone?


I come out of the sudden flashback as if bursting out of water for air. I gasp loudly, my right shoulder colliding with rubble near me. I steady myself, breathing harshly before Zero's echoed shouts reach my ears.


Just in time.


I shake the unfamiliar vision from my mind and bound forward, jet-black hair whipping my cheeks.


I reach my pupils, the smell of burning bodies is surrounding us and the children are inconsolable.


If only Mei was....


I keep myself from thinking back, instead I pull a few children close to me and start to hum while I think.


My voice is soft, and the tune is familiar to them. An old folksong sung during moon festivals.


Rinn is squatting next to a girl I don't recognize, and her striking hues are almost white.


I glance up at Zero, my own gaze obviously giving away the question I'd rather not ask in front of the young: how the fuck do we get them out without being seen?


I count the heads.


9 children, all the same age and height. I see a long haired head covered by thick white strands, the locks are familiar, most likely their sense.


"Fuck." Rinn mutters. "Zero do you know how to mend bones?" He asks almost as if the world isn't falling through the cracks around us.
 
Zero used his rinnegan to help fix the bones


"There that should do it, and im going to summon shadow clones to distract the demons, further more...i found a scroll containing the reanimation ninjutsu..if i can preform it right we can bring Mei back to life"zero says confidently.


"However, we need to somehow use the Rinne rebirth without me dying im the process to bring her back 100%
 
I grit my teeth, brow furrowing deep. I stand up suddenly, almost knocking the children over. "You're an idiot." I snarl, and the bald girl is staring at all of us with silence. I don't know her name, and I can't remember seeing her in any of my classes...


"Mei is dead! We're only Genin... and even if we bring her back..." I pause, taking sharp breaths. My anger has burst into rage, and Mei isn't here to pick up the pieces.


"She won't be the same... it won't be Mei." These last few words are quiet, almost a whisper.


Rinn steps forward and puts a pale hand on Zero's shoulder and shakes his head slowly.


He says something inaudible to my ears....


Rinn breaths a sigh before speaking. His words are as soft as they can be... considering how hard his exterior is. "Tsukimi just lost her best friend, and her uncle is missing. Let her breath a little before laying your life on the line."


He clears his throat, feeling awkward. "You might not even survive. We can't afford to lose any more lives." Red brows are turned down, and he's moved to face his peer.
 
Zero walks over to Tsukimi and gives her a tight hug


"We are all suffering heavy losses but ehat matters now is that we get the surviors and take them to the neighbooring Village of the Water. Once that happens we can regroup with a man named Sakuto. He knows alot about demons..plus if we train hard enough we can do this..avenge our family and friends...and hopfully bring them back"


Zero kissed your forehead and we all headed to the Water Village
 
I wasn't prepared for the sudden physical affection. Zero wrapped his arms around me quietly, making my spine go ridged.


"We are all suffering heavy losses but what matters now is that we get the survivors and take them to the neighbouring Village of the Water. Once that happens we can regroup with a man named Sakuto. He knows alot about demons..plus if we train hard enough we can do this..avenge our family and friends...and hopefully bring them back"


I open my mouth to speak, but the words bubble away once his lips press to my forehead.


My mind goes blank and I stand for a few moments with my jaw dropped.


He smelled like sweat, smoke, blood, and trees.


Rinn and the unnamed girl have both hands wrapped around tiny wrists. One girl is hanging off my back while another small boy has clung onto my sleeve. Rinn has another child riding on his back... leaving Zero with twin boys that won't stop bickering at eachother.


Everyone is tired and hungry, and one of Rinn's children has to pee.


We stop, the trees surrounding us are so thick, only small slivers of light break through the canopy.


"So, who are you?" I ask suddenly, taking the bald girl with soft features by surprise.


A few hours have passed, and I've avoided all contact with Zero.
 
Evryone was able to shower and we found the survivors a new home. Im out near a waterfall crying fro thr loss of my family and friends my chakra running wild sparking to unbelievable levels as the water starts splashing and moving around in response to my wild chakra.


"if only i was strong enough i couldve..i couldve saved them all" zero says crying
 
The girl scoffs, and ignores my question. And no one else seems to care.


We continue on, and meet a group of surviving mothers and elders huddled in the middle of The Village Hidden In The Water. They've taken up vacancy in a local motel and allow us access to their bathhouse.


The whole village is surrounded by water and forest, sitting gently on the coast of an ocean and travels up the side of a Mountain to the east.


My hair still dripping, I watched Rinn branch off in search for food, sitting at a small market. The unnamed girl I left soaking in the bath, her unsettling silence making me uneasy.


After an hour of searching, I follow the feeling of an uneven chakra to a waterfall whose' river branches into the middle of the Village.


"Zero?" My voice cracks and I clear my throat. The water slamming against the rocks below leaves a heavy mist about, making my clothing damp.


The energy rolling off my peer is making my stomach flip, and his soft sobs pull at my heart.


I repeat his name softly again, ignoring the water that trickles over my head when I enter the mouth of the cavern behind the raging waterfalls.


I don't say anything else, staring at his dripping form for a second before closing the space between us and wrapping my arms around him from behind.


I press my cheek to his back, his shoulder blades barely coming to my eyebrows. I listen to the sound of his heart, my hands grabbing hand fulls of his shirt as I tighten my grip around him.


I don't know what to say.


Because there's nothing anyone can do. Flashes of the dead repeat themselves behind my eyelids and I take in the smell of cloves and water.


Much better then blood and fire.


"They'll pay." I say without thinking. My voice is venomous and I'm trying to figure out how those words crawled out from my teeth.
 
"Your damn right they will, your damn right" zero says holding you. "Ill make sure of it..who ever was behind this will not get away" he says standing up. "Ive gathered a bunch of friuts, berrys, herbs and medicine for everybody.


"Ive let everyone stay in a house and the one i found you can have, im fine walking around outside" he says as he walks out of the cavern with you showing you the 3 boxes full of food and medicine.


"The man Sakuto is coming back with more survivors, another village was surprised attacked buth only 3 people died because they saw it coming. Zero said carrying the 3 boxes to the village walking next to you, his silver hair blowing softly in the wind and his rinnegan dissapeared showing off his regular metalic blue eyes. His tank top covering the stiches across his chest (which are in a Giant vertical line).

(You keep switching between first and third person xD


And no I'm noooot. I could be 100 times better. )


When he holds me I feel that ridged uneasiness build in my stomach again, and for some reason I freeze.


He keeps speaking, leading me out of the damp cavern, our clothes sopping wet. Three crates are stacked on top of one another. It looks heavy. I watch his muscles work as we continue upstream and the thought of having some place to stay makes anxiety lower.


"We'll take shifts." I say quietly, walking along side him towards the village. I refuse to let him go without sleep, he is the strongest out of the four of us after all.


Sakuto was an elder, stubborn and sarcastic, but one of the greatest. Many say he had multiple opportunities to become Hokage... but he passed them up to travel.


What a waste of talent.


"Sakuto is kind of self-absorbed. You think he'd actually help Genin without a good reason.... or pay?" I study my own question, trying hard to imagine the rude sense being even a little interested in our request. I come up short, and we enter the village in time to see Rinn get thrown from the market, a slab of meat in his mouth.


Hands and knees scraped up, he blows hard against his firey-red bangs and stands up quickly. Something goes flying at the back of his head, a shoe, and he curses loudly as it smacks its target.


"Fucking Ninjas! Think you can just eat my merchandise without pay!?" An old man is screaming, and I glare at our peer before picking up the shoe and chucking it back to the owner.


"Whatever he's taken he'll pay back with work." Rinn opens his mouth to protest and my fist flies between his teeth, making his jaw lock open. "With blood, sweat, and tears" I add sharply and thrust a mop into his chest.


"If you want to bitch about it, talk to Zero. I'm not dealing with your crap right now." I growl and grab the crates from the silver-haired male and storm off towards the vacant house facing the ocean.
 
I secretly give the merchant the money


"Listrn sir, give the kid a brrak our villsge, our home was destoyed our freinds and family dead" i say to him as i patch rinn up and continues walking around after I eat and told rinn we have plenty of food and I go leave my clothes in Rinns new house as i walk out in a towel and bahing suit and rests at the village hot tub and I relax in there hearing footsteps


"hm?"
 
After setting the crates in a row between the three small huts I glance back up to see Rinn looking deflated and angry. I throw an apple in his direction and he catches it in his mouth, a small snarl scrunching up his nose.


"Why aren't you working?" I murmur, and brush past him towards the beach.


Toes dug in the sand, I close my eyes and begin to practice my forms. I move my body slowly, first balancing on one foot and using my chakra. I'm flowing with the ocean, Tai-chi clearing my mind.


Rinn ignored Tsukimi with great intentions of pissing her off. It was likely that Zero would never utter a word about the pay to her, meaning he'd get a load of grief every time she noticed he wasn't hard at work. "Hardass." He grunted, changing into a bathingsuit before joining his fellow Genin in the steaming tub.


"Where'd you get that kind of money, Zero? A kid like you can't be that wealthy."
 
"dont tell anyone..but...it was because of the Hokage, im the only genin known to besbke to go on S class missions. Hed pay me just to do them 100%" zero explained as he streched. "My mother was a Senju and my father was an Uchiha


 
(I have like some ppl doing 3rd n some doing 1st persom so it confuses me xD
 
(That's okay ^-^ just try your best!)


Rinn stares at him for a long drawn out second, his black eyes taking in the boy's physical features.


"Bullshit." He finally blurted, but continued to search his face.


"Uchiha? Really?" His voice cracked, questions highpitched.


"Uchiha clan?" The bald girl pipped in next to Rinn, startling the red-haired Ninja to the point of shooting out of the water.


"Where did she come from!?" He stammered.


"I've been in the bathhouse this whole time, flea-bag." She said coolly and leaned her head back, one eye open and turned towards Zero, while the other was clamped shut to keep out the sun's rays.


"I've met an Uchiha and you look nothing like them." She scoffed "Bright hair, bright eyes." She pointed out, making Rinn nod.


"Class S missions my ass. You're a Genin. We're all small potatoes."


She lifted herself from the water, sporting rather skimpy swim wear.


Along her stomach was a clutter of pink tissue, a scar from the burning past that started from her right thigh and spiralled up to the bottom of her ribcage.


"I'll believe it when I see it."
 
Heh...fine.." I smirk closing my eyes then opens them sowing off my eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.


And the only way any Uchiha could ever have this next eye...is thruogh senju blood" I say as I transform my eyes into the rinnegan. "The reason why I dont look like the rest of the Uchiha is because my mother was a senju like I said before
 
**ooc: I just realized I don't have a name for the bald girl.


Also.... I should tell you I'm not that far into Naruto xD


Litteraly watched Oroshimaru kill the Hokage and that was like... a year ago. I restarted from the Chuinin Exam, and got to right after Lee is all like "I'll save you from the sound ninjas Sakura!"**


Rinn and the other Genin stare blankly as his eyes switch from a metallic blue to the Sharingan's signature blood-red with small black tooth-like spikes surrounding his pupil, to a grey bullseyed pattern. It happened so quickly, the hairless girl almost missed the transition.


"Well shit." Rinn murmured, sinking back into the tub to continue the conversation. While the girl propped herself on the side, submerging her feet into hot water.


"Who were your parents? Must have been powerful for you to obtain both ocular jutsu."
 
**I only know about the Ocular jutsu and most of the terms because all my friends are into Shippuden already and I'm like.... a noob af. xD **
 
Occ: lol cx well damn cx and natuto shippuden ended in the manga a few months ago**


"Marina senju and tosuski Uchiha, and they are powerfuL. I even began my own training at the age of 7" i explained as i get closer to tsukimi
 
Rinn stared in awe, but the girl with the strange tattoos and the thick scar across her body just glanced at them sideways, kicking up steaming water.


"You're not the only one who started training early, don't get a big head now Zero." Her chuckle was low and dry, almost like it had been a threat.


She took the liberty of getting up first, her body dripping as she passed them.


"We never caught your name." Rinn said quickly, watching her slowly walk away.


"Yuuno." She threw the word over her right shoulder not bothering to look back at the two Genin.


Something told me to get out of there.


Maybe it was the way the waves were swelling and slicing the peace... or possibly the darkening skies.


My movements had suddenly became jagged and askew, the flowing ocean quickly becoming choppy and uneasy. My chakra beat into my veins instinctively, and I stopped my movements.


Smoke began to rise from the south of the village, screams crawling up towards the coast. I grit my teeth, leaping to the top of my hut to scan my surroundings.


Anger swelled as I realized all the buildings were arranged so the beach was the lowest point....


I couldn't make out where the attack was coming from.


Flashes of black swam from roof to roof, too solid to be the simple demons that we'd encountered before.


This was a clan.


And no one was here.


I bound forward, racing in the opposite directions most of the civilians were racing. Everyone was running downhill, towards the sea, while I continued towards the smoke and flames that kept growing. Halfway there, the smoke began to choke me, obscuring my vision.


Something hard collided with me, sending me flying towards the ground. My lungs cringed, ribs groaning as I slammed into red earth.


The figure leaped down after me, a black cloak swiping over my face as they loomed over my head. A sickening chuckle echoed in their chest, and their chakra washed over me sent a bout of nausea ripping into my gut. I struggled to breathe and hurried to get up, only to have several sharp pains slice deep into shoulders.


Kunai but into my flesh, the blades seeming to extend...


No... they were extending.


With each movement I made the edge sunk deeper, and the hardening of my blood only made them react harsher.


"What--" I gasped "The fuck do you want!?"
