《Bloody Grass》


 Baby life sucks, Baby life in OTO sucks more!

    Jin(Dorian) Age 0


    I always thought that after someone died, nothing would happens afterwards, I mean, Reincarnation? Heaven and Hell? Give me a fucking break ! Why would there be something after death? It''s in the word, ''Death'' Meaning, everything about you stops working. Even if there had been something after death, you would''ve been a vegetable.


    Or at least that''s what I thought, then why the hell am I in a nursery with as far as I can see, which is not far, my eyes are blurry, and turning my head is a pain, with babies ?! And why am I a baby ? God dammit, even after dying the world finds a way to fuck with me. I guess indians were right, after death you relive another life. I''m just glad I''m not an ant or something like that.


    Ugh, my head is killing me, guess I''m not supposed to think that much. And can someone shut up the other babies?! My ears are ringing from their cries! And why the hell is my body tickling that much, do I have bugs or something inside of me? Dear god I hope not.


    I''ll just sleep. I''ll wait for my new parents to pick me up, and isn''t that a weird thought?


    ---Break---


    Ok, I don''t know what is happening, it''s been at least a day, maybe, there''s no windows here, and no one came to pick me up, or any other babies. Where are our parents?


    The only person I saw is a nurse that comes regularely to give milk to the babies, me included, and change our diapers (I do NOT want to have her job, babies are just nasty, how people think they''re cute are beyond my Cognitive skills)


    And that stupid tickly sensation! I can''t get rid of it and I hate it.


    The door opened again, the same nurse came in but she wasn''t alone, with her was a very pale man.


    ¡­


    A very pale man with golden snake eyes and really long black hairs, who is wearing a giant purple rope belt, that looks as horrible as it sounds.


    And that man is letting out something that makes me want to piss myself in fear, the other babies all started crying. I forced my baby brain to calm down as to not do the same, giving me the biggest headache I had yet. So not only did the world didnt want to leave me alone by reincarnating me, but it also reincarnated me in the naruto world inside of one of orochimaru''s base. Can it be worse?


    Apparently yes, Orochimaru started inspecting every baby, for what reason I don''t know, but I do know he''s coming towards me. I quickly shut my eyes, pretending to be sleeping.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    At least if survive long enough I''ll be able to become a ninja, that doesn''t sound so bad, Spewing fire and thunder and everything else sounds cool.


    And I''ll even have a head start since baby aren''t supposed to be able to think and train their chakra, ah!


    The footsteps of Oro-pedo stopped next to me. After a tense minute where I prayed to whatever god was listening he wouldnt eat me alive for shit and giggles, I heard his footsteps move to the next crib, the nurse behind him.


    It''s not before I heard the door close again that I opened my eyes.


    So, chakra huh? Wonder how it works.


    ---Break---


    I''m One year old now. My life is boring, I wake up, train my chakra by molding it, moving it around, spinning it inside my body, or trying to sense chakra signatures of other babies and everything I can think of. Stop when I see/hear the door opening, get fed and changed by the same nurse everyday, sleep and repeat. Babies are lucky they dont remember their life as, well, babies, it''s so boring you could die, and coming from someone who likes doing nothing, you know something''s wrong.


    Every month Oro-pedo comes by to check on us, not always in person mind you. He send a minion sometimes, I can somewhat understand what they''re saying. Japanese is a bitch to learn, even though I took classes to learn. I could probably hold a normal conversation, but if we go into weird or difficult words, I''ll be as lost as a boat without a compass.


    I don''t know what I want more, stay here or get out. If I stay here, I''ll probably die of boredom, and if I go out, there''s a 99% chance that I get used as an experiment or fight someone crazy in the arena of the prison complex and die an horrible death. Both cases end with me dying.


    I guess in the end, it''s not my choice.


    ---Break---


    The answer to my question came on my 5th birthday, apparently, every visit that orochimaru or his minions made was to chose who would stay and who will be ''disposed'' of. I was chosen as one of the people that could stay.


    Lucky me, yay.


    I didn''t miss how the nurse had a sad smile on her face, she must know what''s awaiting us. Poor girl, taking care of the kids, knowing the horrors that will happen to us. She barely had the time to teach us how to read and talk, she even gave us names, mine''s Jin.


    Me and a small group of childrens, none that I could recognize in Orochomaru''s minions, we''re taken to the prison complex, dispatched in different cells of 4 people max.


    The prison was Big, no, big didn''t cut it, it was MASSIVE, I almost couldn''t see the top and we were only on the third floor, looking down I could see a total of what looked like 5 giants arena,


    We arrived at my cell, Cell N¡ã175. They opened the cell and pushed me in, before closing and leaving.


    An old man was chained to the wall. He spared a glance at me when I entered, He had brown hair, that fell to his shoulders, chocolate brown eyes with tear stains under them, his clothes are in tatters, with holes everywhere, he has cuts and lashes on his arms and legs. Overall he was very generic, the only thing special about him was a red scarf, who looked cleaner than everything I''ve seen so far in this place since I entered.


    "Oi, shithead, don''t look at him too long, the guards told us to ignore him." A voice interupted my musing, I looked at the source of the voice, my other cellmate.


    Sitting on one of the 4 beds, A girl about the same age as me, with dark pink hairs, brown eyes and long eyelashes.


    "What are you staring at creepy eyes? Never seen a girl in your life?" She snapped.


    Apparently, the world is beating the dead horse that his my luck by giving me Tayuya as my cellmates, the same one who later became one of orochimaru''s bodyguard, and what did she mean by creepy eyes? Please don''t tell me I have a dojutsu!


    My whole life is going to be troublesome, Great.

 Prisons rule (And Chibi-yuya)

    Jin(Dorian) Age 5


    There were many things I wanted to do right now, among them were, blame my shitty ass luck, smoke a cigarette, and starting a conversation with Chibi-yuya before I decided I was crazy.


    I took the room in, it was a simple square room with 4 beds made of rocks, 2 on each sides, each with a pillow and a small blanket, Tayuya is sitting on one of the two closest to the ceiling. On the opposite of the prison bars, there''s the chained old man. There are also 2 set of chains counting the one the old man is chained with.


    I went directly to the bed below chibi-yuya. I''d rather have a little girl above me than someone who is possibly crazy.


    Woo, I got a sense of logic, go me! The bed was as bad as it looked, Made of rocks, I can already feel my back aching.


    "For your information, my name is Jin, Not shithead or creepy eyes." I said as I rested my head against the wall.


    "Nah, Your name is Creepy eyes." She sassily replied as she poked her head down from above.


    "What do they look like anyway? Never saw them in a mirror." I never saw my face period. What I will call ''the Kid''s room'' didn''t have a mirror, just beds and a giant bathroom to make sure we could clean ourselves.


    Kinda useless if we are gonna spend the rest of our lives in a cell anyway. But who am I to decide that right?


    "A really deep purple, and I think I can see a bit of red. They''re not as creepy as Orochimaru-sama''s one but they''re close." She described.


    Well, I am 90% sure I have a dojutsu, fuck, at least it can''t be the sharingan, or I''d have onyx black eyes. But something else caught my attention in her statement, the ''Sama'' part when she addressed Orochimaru.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    "Really? You call the bastard that had us put in this shitty place ''sama''?" I said.


    She quickly looked around, before making a ''shh'' noise. "Are you crazy?! You think I willingly want to address the fucker respectfully? If someone hear''s you say that you''ll be good for a fight in the pit! Or a beating by the guards! And trust me you do not want either to happen to you, just look at the old fuck." Uh. Good to know.


    I massaged my temples, I already had a new headache coming, they just won''t leave me alone these guys. "Right. Any other rule I should know about? I''d rather live."


    When she started counting on her fingers, I knew the headache would be MUCH worse than it already was.


    ---Break---


    Turns out there aren''t that many rules. Well there are but they can be slimmed down to:


    1. Don''t fight with others inmates outside the pit.


    2. Don''t kill outside the pit and without the order given.


    3. Don''t disrespect the guards.


    4. Don''t disrespect Orochimaru-''sama''


    5. Don''t make noise without a reason.


    6. Don''t complain.


    And that''s about it. Other than that I''m good. That leaves one question though.


    "What did that guy do then?" I pointed at the geezer chained to the wall.


    "Killed a guard. He got beat up by the other guards and chained to the wall, he hasn''t eaten anything in the last 3 days." Chibi-yuya shrugged.


    I think I''m going to be sick, no one should suffer like that. Swallowing the vomit rising up from my throat before I could throw up, I decided that a change of subject would be appreciated.


    "And what do we do around here? Except dying of boredom inside the cells?"


    "You can either fight in the pit, cry, or sleep."


    "Greaaaaaaat." I said, sarcasm dripping from my mouth. "Well, I''m going to meditate then. God knows I need to get the hang of this chakra bullshit anyway." I crossed my legs and closed my eyes.


    A silence settled, the light that poured down from the middle of the arena indicating that it was around 7 P.M.


    "...Tayuya." I heard her murmur something.


    "Huh?" I cracked one eye open to look at her.


    "My name''s Tayuya, Creepy eyes." She said louder.


    "Right, I''m Jin. Nice to meet you Chibi-yuya." I retorded.


    "Fucker! Don''t give me a stupid nickname!" She almost screamed, but stopped as to not alert anyone.


    "Then don''t call me Creepy Eyes." I deadpanned, she stuck her tongue at me, and called me a shithead before disappearing in her bed.


    And that, was the start of a beautiful Friendship. Without sarcasm.

 Horrible food (And Gisei)

    It is officially my first day in the cell. I wake up, my back is hurting, I''m sleepy, but can''t found the force to sleep, not with my back.


    I dealt with it, stretched my limbs and started my routine.


    It''s around 8 A.M right now.


    4 hours later, food had arrived, though it''s really just a piece of bread, soup and water. There was enough for me and Tayuya.


    I was slightly disgusted by it, Tayuya just gulped her portion down as quickly as she could, making a weird face when she did.


    "This shit is getting worse everyday I eat it." She said.


    "How long have you been in here anyway?"


    "Around 2 Months. And I cant wait to get out." I feel bad knowing that we''re stuck her for at least another 7 to 9 years. Until Orochimaru decides to to create the sound Four.


    Oh god the sound four! Does that mean I''ll have to kill Tayuya? I can''t remember how they were chosen. I think a giant brawl.


    Deciding to not think about it, I grabbed my bowl of soup. I was about to eat whatever that soup was when a stomach growled, not mine or Tayuya''s though. It was the old man''s one. If I recalled correctly, tayuya had said he hadn''t eaten in the last 3 days.


    I silently stared at my food, before sighing inaudibly.


    I got up and went to where he was chained on the wall


    Tayuya reacted, "Don''t! The guards told us to ignore him! You''ll end up like him."


    I looked at her and put my finger on my lips, "I can''t be bothered to have flying fuck about what the guards want. If you don''t say anything no one will know." she huffed, but turned her around and pretended to be sleeping.


    The old man spared a glance at me, "Eat it kid, you''ll need it more than me." he said, His voice was raspy and weak.


    "I''m not hungry, I can survive a day without eating." I said simply. He tried to stop me, but I lightly whacked him, not that it hurts in my opinion, I''m only 5 after all.


    The man lightly smiled, I could see a small tear forming in his eyes.


    I fed him the soup, God I look like a mother feeding her child! He gulped it down. He wasn''t even fazed by the taste it seemed like.


    I''m probably gonna catch hell for it, but I don''t care.


    I went back to grab my portion of water and drank half, Giving him the other half.


    A small thump was heard, before Tayuya appeared next to me, handing over her piece of bread. A silent ''I''m not hungry either.'' leaving her lips, she hoped back to her bed.


    "Thank you. Thank you very much you two." His smile was still here, He had tears in the corner of his eyes. "I won''t ever be able to repay you two."


    I smiled. "No Problem old man."


    "I''m Gisei. You should quickly get away, before the guards notices."


    "Well then Gisei, glad to meet you, I''m Jin."


    Mom always told me to help people that needed it.


    Thinking about my mother wiped the smile off my face. I wonder how she''s doing now? Knowing his son died in an explosion at the age of 19.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    "You Okay kid?" Gisei Asked me.


    I shook my head, locking that train of thoughts away. "S''okay, just thinking of my family, wondering if they''re sill alive, somewhere."


    "Ah. I have a daughter, it''s been 10 years since I saw her. I hope she''s doing fine." He told me.


    "You''ve been here for 10 years?" I said surprised, 10 years in a cell, With Orochimaru experimenting on everyone.


    "Yes, I may not look like it right now, but I was a ninja before this, A Jonin of Konoha actually. I''ve been on more dangerous mission than I can count."


    An Idea bloomed in my head.


    "Hey, can you share some stories with me then? To pass time, and after that give me a few pointers?" I tried the puppy eyes on him, hoping it would work.


    I could hear Tayuya shuffle in her bed, probably to listen no doubt.


    "Sure, I''ll start from when I became a genin, I became a genin at the age of 5¡­"


    the hours passed, the sound of Gisei voice resounded in the room as he told us his life story.


    ---Break---


    (Later that day)


    "...My teammates died on the mission, and I was unlucky enough to be found by Orochimaru, who found in me a new test subject."


    I silently listened as finished his story of how he was captured. I was sitting in front of him, Tayuya at some point joined us and sat next to me.


    It was around 7 P.M, now, we''ve been listening to him for the past 5 hours.


    "You fought in 2 wars?"


    "Yup Kid, I really hope that I''ll never have to fight a 3rd one. The first two were horrible enough."


    "You''re pretty good for an old geezer if half those things you said are true." Tayuya Said.


    "I was not a Jonin for nothing, I did more S rank missions than you have fingers you know." He grinned, before looking at me. "Now, if I remember correctly you wanted help to train?"


    I nodded, "Yes, I''d rather know how to fight if I am unlucky enough to fight someone else here, I''m pretty sure not everyone here is as nice as you or Chibi-yuya."


    We both ignored the way Tayuya told me to fuck off, It was fun riling her up sometimes."Well, They should liberate me today, I''ll be able to teach you both a thing or two."


    "Do you know a way for us to discover our affinities?" I really hope I''ll be able to spew fire everywhere! It''ll be a lot of fun!


    "I can help with that, please free my right hand." I did as he said, using the same knife.


    He put his hand on my forehead, it started glowing white, before turning an ocean blue. "Looks like you have an affinity towards water, a strong one at that."


    How did he do that?


    He chuckled, My face must have betrayed my thoughts. "It is something only I can do, a rare sensing ability, by connecting myself with the chakra paths of someone I can learn their affinity, and register what their chakra feel like."


    "My turn." Tayuya pushed me and put herself in front of him.


    He did the same, his hand turning from white to a pale green, he retracted his hand.


    "An affinity towards wind It''s not strong but not weak either." He said. Tayuya was happy netherless.


    "Now, Unfortunatly for you both, I have none of them, I myself have an affinity for Earth. But I do know some jutsus from both, and I can help you with taijutsu or genjutsu. We just need to wait for the guards to liberate me. After that I''ll teach you both the Water and Wind Bullet."


    And so we waited, the guards arrived 2 hours later, ordered us to put ourselves against the wall, they freed Gisei from the bindings.


    "You have a week, after that you''ll fight to death in one of the pit as punishment for your actions." The guard told Gisei.


    The guard turned towards us, "As for you two, we know you disobeyed the rules, since you are both new here, we''ll let you get away with a warning this time, after that, you will follow the same treatments as him." He glared at us, and we nodded.


    With those words, he locked the cell once again. And we breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Well, that went better than I could''ve expected." Gisei said once they were out of range.


    "Now, I''m gonna start teaching you both. It''ll be like the time I had a team." Gisei took on a menacing grin, Tayuya and I both shuddered.


    Maybe this was a bad idea.


    Who could''ve guessed that Gisei was a drill Sergent-like teacher.


    -----------------------------------------Omake-------------------------------------------------


    ---Tortu... training with Gisei---


    ---Next day---


    "Now, Usually I would''ve started by making you two run as much laps in 60 seconds around training ground 18, but we are not in Konoha. So we''re going to skip that. Instead you are going to do push ups, As much as you can in 60 seconds" He demonstrated what a push up was.


    I was about to start, but a sudden weight almost crushed me to the ground.


    "Oof, what the-" Gisei had put a rock on my back.


    "With this on your back." His smile was Demonic. Where did he even find a rock?!


    The answer is, he created them.


    He put one on Tayuya, smaller than mine.


    I call favoritism!


    Not that Tayuya cared, the glare she sent me for roping her into this would''ve killed a lesser man.


    "Jin, You''re slacking, go at it! before I decide that 60 seconds is too short for you." Gisei said. "And after you guys are done, we''ll go on with sit-ups and pull-ups! So many things to do!"


    Fuck.

 Giseis fight (And Kekkei Gekkai ?!)

    ----Omake----- ( familiar face)


    Gisei considers himself a smart man. He passed time playing against his friend, shikaku Nara, the smartest man in the entire village of Konoha, and his son, who has so much potential, already beating him half the times during their games.


    That''s why, the first time he saw his new cellmate, a boy, Five year old from what he said. Something started Nagging him.


    There was... Something about the boy''s face. his shaggy hair, the jawline, the eye shape, they all seemed familiar.


    Especially the eyes, purple is not a common color, his wife, bless her soul, and his daughter being the only one he knows with such a pretty shade of purple.


    But it''s not that, it''s the small red dot, they remind him of something... Someone.


    He just can''t quite put the finger on what.


    But he has time, he''ll figure it out eventually.


    Not like him and Jin will be going anywhere.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Turns out Gisei''s teaching were worse than I thought, and the worst is that he''s going soft on us!


    "Because the food here is barely enough to survive, and the fact you are both at least a year before the usual time kids start academy, I diluted my training regimen to 80% of what I usually do." He had told us the first day, after Tayuya and I had spent hours doing all kind of exercise.


    By the time we stopped, every muscle in my body was hurting, I was hurting in places I didn''t know could hurt, Tayuya was in a similar case, she cursed me for somehow roping her into this.


    Then came the Ninjutsu part. Using part of his outfit that he had cut off, Gisei told us to make it stick to our skin, Basically the leaf exercise.


    Surprisingly enough Tayuya had gotten it first the next day. I was kinda jealous, I had tried after everyone went to sleep but still couldn''t get it before her. But when I know, that she will become a mistress in genjutsu, it was kinda obvious she would have better chakra control.


    The days passed, We learned how to walk on the walls and ceilling, That was a fun thing to learn.


    Gisei also taught us a few jutsu he knew, or at least the handsigns, as promised he had taught what he knew in our respective element, and gave us the handsigns of jutsus he didn''t master but knew.


    I learned the Water Bullet Jutsu and the wild water wave jutsu, Tayuya had learned the Wind Bullet variant, also she learned the wind release, gale palm and great breakthough jutsus, Of course she can''t do it like Orochimaru who destroys everything in his path with it, but it''s still strong enough to knock over a person probably.


    Not like we can test it, with the guards constantly here, we have to dilute the jutsus a lot to make sure they don''t start running around like headless chickens.


    Those guys are just idiots, idiots and thugs, they could leave us alone really, not like we can escape, there''s 5 sets of giant doors, all with security systems and alarms, ready to tear us apart if we tried anything.


    "Gisei, will you be okay? You''re still hurt. Will you really be able to fight?"


    "I''ll be just fine kid, I''m too young to die." He laughed, before taking off his scarf, "Beside I have made a promise to my daughter, when my wife, her mother, died I told her that I will always come back home. Can''t do that if I''m dead. See there?"He pointed at one of the two ends, two black letters were sewed, a Y and G. "That''s a scarf my little girl made for me when she was 6, for my birthday, I promised her that I would always wear it, so that she''ll always be by my sides, no matter where I am. She was only 12 when I was captured, There is no way I''m dying before I see her have her first boyfriend, I still got to strike fear into her boyfriend''s heart, like any good father. Oh god, what if she is already married?!" He put the scarf back on.


    He went on about his daughter, saying she always wanted to follow his footsteps, that she''ll be the best kunoichi, and that he''ll be proud of her one day.


    Days passed quickly, too quickly, today was the day, today Gisei would have to fight in the pit. Tayuya and I were at the cell bars, clenching our fists.


    Gisei was our teacher, and probably more than that, somewhere along the way, he became our grandpa I''m sure of it, He was always smiling, telling us everything will be okay, that we will one day get out of here, he always leaves us part of his food. He always made sure to be the last asleep so that he could see if anything was wrong, always was here when we had a bad night. Even Tayuya had started calling him a geezer, which apparently is a proof she likes him, don''t question it, she''s weird like that.


    We looked in silence as he was taken down to the ground level, a guard on each side of him, they pushed through a giant iron door, and unlocked the bindings he had. They gave him a kunai.


    They closed the door, Gisei just waited in the middle. A rumble was heard, and one of the cells on the ground floor opened, they weren''t normal cells, in them were the worst of the worst, people who can''t be put with others, they are crazy, wether it is because of Orochimaru''s experimenting on them, or in general, murderers, assassins, and a lot of other, you name it.


    There is only one time they are allowed to get out, during battles, but people here call them executions, even if you live through the fight, you die after from your wounds.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Someone finally came out, a man, no, man doesnt cut it.


    He was tall, so tall he had to bend down to pass through the door of his cell, he had no shirts, revealing bulging muscles that only body builders could have.


    But that wasn''t the worst, It was obvious he was the result of an experiment, he had scales, sick green scales, his nails were long and sharp, but most of all, he had a 5 meters long tail protuding from his back. His eyes were ones you could see on reptiles.


    Result of a mutation, he looked more like a giant crocodile than a man.


    "This is who I''m fighting? An old man about to keel over at any moments."The croc-man said, he licked his lips. "I''ll make sure to enjoy breaking all your bones."


    Gisei said nothing.


    The doors closed, and a red light lit up, it was the signal to start the fight.


    The second the fight started, Gisei had disappeared, his opponent, confused looked around, before quickly putting his arms in front of his face when gisei reappeared and punched him.


    The croc-man Took a step back. Before grinning, "Maybe you''re not that bad." The man took a step towards Gisei, and, in an incredible burst of speed, aimed a punched right at Gisei''s head.


    Gisei blocked it, but still got thrown into the wall behind, a loud crack as parts of the wall collapsed on the impact.


    I bit my lips, blood flowed from a small wound.


    Gisei wasn''t fazed though, he got out of the wall with a jump and threw the kunai he was given, straight towards the head of the croc-man, who easily evaded, The kunai embeding itself in the ground behind him, but that gave him enough time to start flowing through handsigns.


    He slammed his hands on the grounds, "Earth release: Crushing walls!"


    Two halves of a sphere ((or dome? IDK, if it is correct in english, tell me so I can replace it.)) rose from either side and closed in on the man.


    he was about to get crushed, when suddenly, he extended both his arms and stopped the two walls, his fingers encasing themselves in the stone walls. "That all you got?" He taunted


    Gisei didn''t stop there though, he went through another series of hand signs before slamming his hands on the ground again, "Earth Release: Earth flow divide!"


    The ground opened itself under the man, who lost his footing and found himself trapped in the air with his hands inside the rocks.


    "Huh?!" he exclaimed, clearly, not having expected to be in this position.


    "Earth Release: Crushing walls!" Once again, the two walls moved, this time and trapped the man underground. screaming to let him out. But the walls didn''t stop, they kept going until a scream was heard.


    A few seconds passed, Gisei slowly got up. "He''s de-"


    The ground burst open, Gisei summoned an earth dome around him who promplty shattered on one side as he was sent flying.


    "Gisei/Geezer!" tayuya and I screamed, the prisonners screamed and laughed


    The man had gotten out from the trap, not unscathed, his left arm was crushed, blood pouring everywhere from it and you could see some bones part sticking out, he would never be able to use it again.


    "You''ll pay for this you bastard, I''m going to enjoy crushing your skull."


    Gisei was still on the ground, coughing from the impact. The man appeared next to him, and kicked Gisei in the stomach, sending him rolling again.


    Gisei coughing got worse, blood pouring from his mouth with every cough, and It was clear that some bones were broken and pierced his skin, judging by the fact that blood stained his shirt.


    The prisonners chanted ''kill him, kill him, kill him.''


    The man slowly walked towards Gisei as he tried to get up"It was a good plan, get me stuck, make me fall and crush me under the ground? Too bad for you, Orochimaru-sama gave me the strength of twenty mens, I can break anything. All I had to do was Punch the ceilling with all my strength to burst it open."


    He slowly closed in on Gisei, before picking him up by his right arm with his tail, "Now. It''s time to finish you off, Don''t worry about your kids, they''ll join you soon." He grinned wickedly, his sharp nails going for Gisei''s throat and pierced it. Blood poured out everywhere, staining the ground and the arm of the man.


    "Nooooooooooooo!" We both screamed, I''m crying, my eyes are getting blurry and they hurt.


    Despite the blood pouring out, Gisei grinned.


    "What''s so funny? Happy to die?" The man asked, confusion in his voice.


    Then, Gisei dissolved into mud.


    "Wha-" A wheezing sound was heard before a thunk. The man screamed as a kunai embeded itself at the base of his neck.


    On the other side of the arena, Another Gisei was here, Unscathed, he had launched the kunai.


    "You never had the real me, the moment I created that dome around me, I created a mud clone, and dove underground. All I had to do was wait for you to give me an opportunity and hit you. From the beggining of the fight, you allowed me to set the pace, that was a mistake." Gisei Lectured.


    "You old fuck! I''m going to crush you!" The man took out the kuni from the back of his head and rushed at Gisei.


    "Hmmph." Gisei flew another series of handsigns and slammed them again on the ground, "Earth Release: Giant stone Fist!"


    Earth rose from everywhere around gisei, that took the form of a fist, it was easily 3 times the size of the already giant man. Gisei launched it towards the man.


    "Ahahaha! Are you senile?! I''ve already proven it won''t work on me! I''ll just break it!" The man kept running and prepared his working arm to punch the fist that was coming towards him.


    "I know, that''s why I won''t let you do so. Combination jutsu: Mud garden!" The ground around Gisei''s hand turned into mud, and advanced quickly towards the man, he almost slipped, and had to stop to prevent falling.


    Mud garden is a combination of water release and Earth release, when used the water part turns the ground into mud, starting from the hands of the user, and the earth part...


    The earth part took the form of vines and grabbed the man''s working arm and his legs, trapping him, more and more mud wrapped itself around him until only his head could move.


    "What?!" The man looked in panic as the fist closed on him, he tried to wiggle out but the mud kept flowing, everytime he would free a part of his body, the mud would block it again, keeping him trapped. "Wait! We can talk about this!" He said.


    "I do not think so." Gisei responded, a second later, the fist collided with the man who screamed as it crushed him.


    Soon, the screaming stopped, silence stretched on for a solide minute, before Cheers exploded from the prisonners.


    "He won! He won!" Tayuya and I screamed overjoyed, Hugging each other as we jumped in place. It took us about 10 seconds before we noticed what we were doing. We let go of each other, and I coughed.


    That wasn''t embarassing at all. At least she''s only 4.


    Gisei grinned, before swaying a little bit. The guards came in the arena and guided him back to our cell, everyone cheering him on the way for the show he just put on. The guards even did some first aid to make sure he''d live.


    As soon as he arrived and the guards allowed us to move, we threw ourselves at him and hugged him tightly.


    "Grandpa/Geezer!"


    He was taken aback for less than a second at the fact I called him grandpa, but soon smiled, "See? I told I''d win." He smiled, before looking at me, "Huh, Tayuya, were Jin''s eyes always like that?"


    Tayuya let go of Gisei and put her face in front of mine.


    "What? What do they have?" I asked quickly.


    "They¡­ They''ve turned from purple to blood red." Tayuya said slowly.


    Gisei produced a small water mirror jutsu and pointed towards me.


    My eyes went from a deep purple with small red dots to a vibrant blood red, Two trails of blood were on either side of my eyes, probably the tears from when I thought Gisei was dead.


    I voiced our thoughts when I said, "What the fuck?!"

 The end of a dream

    "What the fuck?! How do I revert them back!"


    "Ok, calm down, we can''t let anyone know about this for now. Close your eyes, breath, and concentrate on your eyes, there should be a chakra flow going to them, stop it." Gisei said.


    I did as he said, there really was chakra flowing to my eyes, after a few seconds, I finally figured out how to stop the flow and opened them again. "Are they back to normal?"


    "Yes." Gisei confirmed, I breathed a sigh of relief "I did not recognize them, the only dojutsu that I know off are the byakugan, the Sharingan and the rinnegan, two are from Konoha but they look nothing like that, the byakugan makes the eyes completely featureless, the sharingan turn them red with 3 tomoe inside them, while the last is a Myth, no one saw it for years."


    I mentally made a happy dance, I was really scared it was the sharingan, Orochimaru would''ve taken me to become his vessel if he learned that I had the sharingan, and I don''t want that, unlike sasuke emochiha, I''m not a main character, I don''t have plot armor around me.


    "We''ll have to see what they can do later." He grabbed a piece of his shirt and torn it off. "Here, clean your face, you are terrible to look at with those two bloody stream." I did so, a smile on my face.


    "Now, that fight drained me, I''m going to sleep now. We''ll talk when I wake up."


    "Sure thing Grandpa/geezer." Gisei looked at us, and with that same kind smile he always did, fell asleep like a log.


    While Tayuya and Gisei slept, I thought, Trying to remember every detail I knew about the anime, every Kekkei Genkai, it took me a while, but I finally remembered what they were.


    The Ketsury?gan, an almost extinct Dojutsu, that was said to rival the Sharingan in terms of genjutsu capabilities, and give the user the ability to create and manipulate blood.


    I can work with that, It''ll be fun to learn how to use them.


    ---Break---


    "I know what they do." Was the first thing I said in the morning once we woke up.


    "Huh?" Gisei and Tayuya said in sync.


    "I discovered it this night, I kinda got frustrated that I couldn''t figure out what they did so I punched the wall. It bled a little." I grabbed the plastic knife and planted it in my open palm. Tayuya cringed while Gisei looked at me worriedly.


    "Look." I willed some blood to float, and made it take the shape of a Flower. I can control blood, and I tried to see if pulling out my blood started hurting me, but it doesn''t look like it for now."


    Gisei approached me, and bonked my forehead, I yelped, "We said not to use it, so why did you do it?" He scolded.


    "Cuz I wanna learn how to use it duh. Gives me a lot more chance to live if I have a kekkei genkai." I rubbed my forehead.


    "Ok, can''t blame you for that." He sighed, "You said it didn''t hurt you no matter how much blood you put out?"


    "Nope, didn''t get a lot out though, wanted to make sure no one would notice."


    "Right, let''s try this then, you''re gonna will some blood out, I''m gonna see if something changes." I did as he said, after a good minute he finally told me to stop.


    "It seems like your eyes uses chakra to create blood to replace the one you are willing out, I don''t know how it really works, but my best guess is that the moment you have no more chakra, you''ll start using your own blood instead. You''ll need a big reserve of chakra if you want to throw big jutsus around and not die from bloodloss." He got up and looked at me and tayuya.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Right, guess it''s time to train now." Gisei said and grinned, "We missed yesterday since I had to fight, so we''re gonna do twice as much today."


    Tayuya and I groaned.


    ---Break---


    Timeskip: Around a Year. ( Gisei age 41/Tayuya Age 5/Jin age 6)


    It was supposed to be an ordinary day, we woke up, did our morning training routine, Tayuya went back to sleep, cursing Gisei, I meditated and trained the Ketsury?gan abilities. Gisei taught us history and other things.


    Everything was going well, until the guards announced a bad news.


    "Attention to all of the prisoners, today will be Purge day!"Most of the prisonners started screaming, either in excitement or terror, the guard was making a sour face. I personally was confused, as was Tayuya.


    Gisei on the other hand, was trembling. Seeing our look of curiosity he calmed down and sighed.


    "Purge day is done once a year, basically, since there is not enough space they choose cells at random and everyone in them have to fight in a 1vs1 against someone from another cell, they do this for the whole day, to make space for new prisonners. Usually they do around 5 floors worth of cell. We just have to pray ours won''t be chosen, and if it is, that we fight against weakers one."


    Disgusting,"Then that means¡­ We''ll have to kill our opponent?" Tayuya asked.


    "Yes. It''s a battle to the death, they throw you in one of the 5 arena with a Kunai, and you fight until one of the two dies." Gisei replied.


    That, I''ll have to kill someone? Fuck that.


    Gisei seemed to understand what I was thinking. "You don''t have a choice Jin, it''s either you kill or get killed, if you take too long, the guards kill both and send the next ones." He said, crushing my dreams.


    And so it went on. I watched every fight, I watched kids get murdered, Monsters torturing their opponents, skulls getting crushed, blood splattering everywhere, limbs getting torned off. I was sick. The whole time praying we wouldn''t be chosen.


    Before it finally happened.


    "Cell 175, you will fight against cell 193." The guard announced, "In order of the oldest to the youngest. Same rule as before, fight until someone dies, if there are less people in a cell then someone will have to fight again."


    "Good luck Grandpa." I told Gisei.


    Gisei''s fought first, his opponent was a women in her mid-thirties, she didn''t seem to know how to fight, He made short work of her, killing her before she could register what had happened.


    Namely, cutting her head off.


    Gisei came back and entered the cell, which mean I went next.


    "Next." I followed the guards down. My hands shaking.


    "Good luck kiddo." One of the two guards said, while the other just nodded to me.


    Theres no turning back now, today I die, or I kill.


    I wont die, No way.


    My opponent entered, a man, he didn''t seem special, no defining features, no part of him removed or modified, the way he held the kunai however, it was clear he knew how to use a weapon, Grandpa taught us to analyze our opponent before a fight.


    "I''m sorry about this kid, I can''t die now." The man said.


    "S''okay, besides, I wouldn''t throw me to the wolves just yet. I''m much stronger than I look like." I shrugged, my mind was a mess. I was shaking.


    I''ll have to kill him, put a kunai through his heart or head, hurt him.


    I hate this place.


    The doors locked and the light turned on.


    The man ran at me, he wasn''t using chakra, so not a ninja, or a weak one.


    I Flew through a series of handsigns "Water style: Wild water Jutsu!" My chest grew in size and I spit out tons of water.


    "What the-" the man clearly didn''t expect it and took the stream square in the chest, it sent him flying backwards.


    I ran towards him, making sure to enhance my muscles with chakra, Kunai in hand.


    The man was starting to get up, He saw me ran at him and panicked, he threw the kunai he was given towards me, sloppy, I catched it mid run and threw it back at him.


    It pierced his shoulder, he screamed in pain, holding where the kunai planted itself.


    I was targetting the head.


    I was on him before he could recover from the pain.


    "Wait, wait, wa-" He put his hands in front of him, covered in bloods from the wound.


    I didn''t stop, I struck where is heart is.


    "Ack." He spewed blood everywhere, I could feel some of it slowly dripping on my skin and impregnating my clothes. I could feel his bloody hands on my shoulders, as he tried to weakly push me away. I could see his eyes fading as he died.


    He fell lifelessly on the ground. The Kunai still sticking out of his chest. I turned around, my head low. I had killed someone. I had willingly taken the life of someone.


    I walked back to the cell, the guards following me, I spared a glance at Tayuya, she made a forced smile, clearly, she didn''t want to have to do it either.


    Grandpa hugged me.


    We watched as Tayuya had to kill another kid, as he begged her to not hurt him, as he begged to leave him alone, as he screamed when she struck to his chest, we watched as his body fell to the ground.


    Tayuya came back, she ran at us, Grandpa hugged her tightly too.


    "It''s alright, It''s alright." Grandpa held us close, Tayuya was silently crying.


    So was I, but thi will be the last time, I''ll be stronger than that, so that it won''t happen again.


    That night, none of us slept. The visage of the man as I pierced his heart, the blood flowing, his lifeless body, They all haunted me everytime I closed my eyes.


    That day, I finally understood, this isn''t a story, this is life.


    I hated it.

 Omakes for the day

    (Gisei talks about his team)


    "Hey grandpa, what was your team like when you were a genin?" I asked.


    Grandpa had a surprised look, but it quickly left and he smiled instead, "In one word? Diverse."


    "Huh? What do you mean?"


    "You see, One of my teammates name was Might Duy. He was¡­ Energetic to say the least, and someone that I have respect with, he was a genius in Taijutsu. No one could beat him in the acadamy, not even the teachers, though his other grades were Lower. He was always rambling about Youth and posing."


    Gisei stopped, remembering the first time Duy had smiled at him. He got blinded for a few seconds with how shiny they were. And those eyebrows, he had shivers.


    "I could never beat him in a Taijutsu match, he had a motto ''True strength only exists when you protect someone precious to you'', he was right too."


    All the times he had challenged him. ''Gisei! I want a rematch!'' ''Gisei, the first one to arrive at the gate wins!''


    ''But sensei! Duy is the strongest person in Taijutsu! Why cant he become a Chunin like us?!''


    ''Don''t worry Duy, We''ll still be friends right Gisei?'' Akina had said, ''Of course. We''ll always be a team. No matter what.''


    A tap got Gisei out of memories, "Grandpa? You okay? You stopped responding."


    "Aha, sorry, I was lost in memories."


    "Who was your other teammate?"


    "My wife, Uzuki Akina. She was a gentle girl, always making sure we had everything we needed, or that Duy would not push himself too hard in his training. She was a great medic-nin and the best with a sword, everywhere she went, it would be like a storm had passed through, cutting everything in it''s path.


    ''Duy! Sensei said to take it easy this week! Why are you still doing laps around Konoha then ?! I don''t care about youth, just take it easy for once!''


    ''Gisei, got everything?'' ''What do you mean you forgot your sleeping bag? How can you even forget that?! And stop taking only Dangos! It''s not a good food for long missions! Ugh, you are hopeless.''


    "Together, we were one of the best assault teams, during the war later, we would always be on the front lines. It was a great time, if you forget the death all around of course."


    "That''s amazing grandpa, do you have any other stories?"


    "Maybe Later."


    ¨C-------------


    (Gisei''s scar)


    "How did you get that scar geezer?" Tayuya asked Gisei


    "Huh? What scar? The one on my right arm?" Tayuya nodded, Jin who had heard them, stopped meditating to listen.


    "It was during the 3rd war. In that time, kiri had a special unit, who''s fame started growing, the seven ninja swordsmans of the mist. They all were geniuses in the art of the sword, during a mission, we met one of the members. Juzo Biwa. He was the wielder Kubikirib¨­ch¨­, a massive sword that fed on the iron in blood to restore itself."


    ...FlashBack No Jutsu!¡­


    (Beetle: Aburame Muta / Wolf: Gisei / Cat: Uzuki Akina)


    "Beetle, did you find anyone?" I signed, all three of us perched high on a tree.


    He shook his head, "Negative, my beetles could only find dead bodies, all split in half, most likely the result of a skilled swordsman, the culprit seemed to go north, towards one of our camps." He responded slowly


    "Any chances that it was one of the seven?" Cat asked.


    Beetle thought for a second, "High, most likely the user of Kubikirib¨­ch¨­."


    I could sense Akina''s Excitation.


    "Cat, do not get distracted. Beetle, How long till he reaches the camp?" I prayed we would have time to run back and prepare. Juzo was known for his brutality.


    "With the speed he is going at, Ten Minutes at most."


    So not enough go back. Shit.


    "Prepare to chase after him."


    They nodded and we rushed in direction the north.


    After a short time we caught Juzo. He was just finishing cutting in half another team he had found.


    "Beetle, wait for the opportunity and drain him of his chakra. Cat, You take him on Kenjutsu, I will support you.


    They both nodded and we sprung into action.


    "Earth style: Mud Garden!" I slammed my hands on the ground and tried to catch him while he wasn''t paying attention.


    The vines moved and tried to grab him, but Juzo was prepared and cut all of them as soon as they appeared. And jumped high in the trees.


    "Tsk, another team huh? You guys just keep showing up. And Raiga who''s doing god knows what again." Juzo said, Kubikirib¨­ch¨­ on his shoulder.


    "Juzo Biwa, will you surrender and come quietly, or will we have to use force." I said, hoping we could still get out without a fight.


    That hope got crushed when Juzo jumped towards us, "I got no time to lose with you!"


    He swung at us, but cat intercepted him with her sword.


    "Oh? Another swordsman?" Juzo said, "Maybe I''ll play a little then." He pushed more strength into his sword, cat took a step back.


    "Earth Style: Earth Dragon bullet!" A dragon appeared behind me and flew towards Juzo and Cat with a roar.


    "Hitting your own teammates?" Juzo kicked Cat towards the dragon and dodged, she popped, leaving only smoke.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    "Shadow clone?"


    Beetle shook his head slightly, he had planted bugs on him.


    Just have to drag this on and it''s our win then.


    "Dance of the crescent moon!" Cat appeared behind Juzo, shadow clones coming from the left and right, while another jumped in the air.


    "Water Style: Water clone Jutsu." Clones of Juzo appeared and blocked all attacks, he ran past on of the clones and Swung, cleaving in half all the clones.


    He didn''t stop there though, he kept going with his swing, following the momentum, he propelled himself at us. Ready to strike.


    "Earth Style: Earth Wall!" A wall of earth appeared in front of me and Beetle, blocking his attack, His sword Kubikirib¨­ch¨­ getting stuck inside the wall.


    "Cat, now!" I screamed.


    Cat appeared behind Juzo, ready to take his head off.


    She was about to hit when a lightning strike cut her sword and threw her back.


    "Took you long enough Raiga!" Juzo said, as another swordsman appeared.


    Raiga Kurosuki, wielder of the Kiba.


    "Shut up Juzo. I was occupied, another team was blocking my path, I had to take care of them."


    "That wouldnt have happened if you stayed with me instead of going on a rampage you idiot!"


    "Keep talking and I will kill you myself Juzo." Raiga said darkly.


    Juzo Huffed and took out Kubikirib¨­ch¨­ from the wall.


    "Shall we finish the mission?" Raiga asked.


    "No, My chakra is too low, and those three are well coordinated. We won''t be able to get out without grave injuries. And I can sense another team coming."


    "Who said we would let you leave?" Beetles insects quickly appeared all around them, quickly climbing on them and sucking their chakra.


    I used the leftover mud to trap them.


    "Shit! Raiga do something!"


    "Lightning Burial: Banquet of lighning!" lightning rolled down from Raiga''s swords, frying them and the insects of Beetle.


    Cat found herself blocked by all the lighning flying around, and couldn''t dodge Juzo''s sword.


    "Akina!" Time slowed down as I jumped in the lightning to push her aside.


    Kubikirib¨­ch¨­ came from above, cutting my right arm. Blood gushed from the wound.


    "Raiga! We''re leaving!" Both the swordsman used the Lightning to run away.


    As soon as they left Akina appeared next to me.


    "Gisei! Why did you do that?!" She screamed at me, using medical jutsu to treat my arm.


    "I don''t know. I didn''t think, one moment you''re about to get killed, and the next I''m losing my arm. I''d say it''s a good trade." I tried joking. She just swatted my head.


    The blood loss is making me dizzy.


    "Hey Akina?" I called out to her.


    "Shut up Gisei, I''m trying to reattach your arm right now! And keep your damn mask on!"


    I smiled, "It might be the bloodloss going to my head but, I think I love you."


    I didn''t get the time to see her reaction, I lost consciousness soon after.


    ¡­Kai!¡­


    "That was so cheesy grandpa." Jin Pinched his nose once Gisei finished recouting the story, Tayuya agreeing with him.


    "You little brats. That wasn''t cheesy at all! Since it''s like that, re-do all the training we did today!"


    They both whined, but did so anyway.


    Though, he was slightly concerned by the way Jin''s eye shined when he talked about Juzo.


    What sort of nightmare did he unleash?


    ¨C-------------


    (Tayuya''s gift)


    Gisei age 42 / Tayuya Age 5 / Jin age 6


    Date: February 9 (J-6 till Tayuya''s birthday)


    It was almost Tayuya''s birthday and I still didn''t find a gift, I knew that we were in a prison so getting her a gift should be impossible.


    But we''re in a ninja world, nothing is impossible, even green little dudes coming from space in a Spaceship.


    I already knew what I wanted to get her, it was obvious too. I just had to get a guard to get it for me.


    I had finished a match in the arena, I did as always, a quick Water Prison till he lost consciousness.


    The guard opened the door, and we started going back to my cell.


    I watched the guard, he seemed bored out of his mind.


    "Hey guard." I called out to him.


    He spared a glance at me, Too short, "What is it?"


    "Could you just loose the cuffs, they''re digging into my wrist and it hurts."


    This time he looked directly at me, I made some blood spill from my wrists, to prove my point.


    "Wait a second." He fiddled around with a set of keys, before inserting the key and turning it once, th cuffs loosened. He looked at me in the eyes, "Better?"


    "Perfect. Ketsury?gan: Blood World." I stuck him in a Genjutsu.


    "This is what you''re going to do¡­" A minute later, the guard left me to my cell as if nothing happened.


    Though he was slightly trembling, the guard that is.


    Now to wait.


    ¡­


    A week later, February 15.


    Tayuya: Age 6


    Today was Tayuya''s birthday. So today was free of training.


    Tayuya took the occasion to hum songs, like she always does when bored, or just feeling good.


    Somehow, someway, Gisei had gotten access to a birthday cake, or well, more exactly Three slices, it was a Three chocolate one.


    That day we learned that Tayuya has an incredible sweet tooth.


    I think Tayuya almost fainted when she took a bite. It was one of the rare moments where she actually acted girly and hugged Gisei.


    A guard knocked on the bars, the same one that I had ''asked'' to get me a gift.


    I got up, under the curious stare of Gisei and Tayuya.


    "Here. We never talked to each other." He said as he handed me a small cylinder shaped present.


    I hid it from Tayuya''s view as I turned around.


    "Here, Happy Birthday Chibi-Yuya." She scowled at the nickname, but it was replaced by a surprised expression when she saw the present I was handing to her.


    She grabbed it and ripped off the package, a pink one of all things.


    She gasped at the sight that greeted her.


    A flute, silver in color, while each ends are Dark purple.


    She looked at it, then at me, then back at it.


    "How..."


    "You told me one day that you''d love to play the flute, like before you got here. So I got you one." I replied.


    She stared at me for a few seconds, before hugging me tightly, "You fucker, thank you so much! She''s perfect!"


    "Can''t¡­ Breathe¡­" I said, turning blue. She let go of me with a ''eep'' and I gasped for air.


    "How did you convince the guard to get it?!" She asked excited, hoping to use the same trick against them probably.


    "I may have Cough Cough showed him a thing or two." I grinned, before coughing again.


    She''s got a strong grip, that''s for sure.


    "Jin, what did you show him?" Uh-Oh, Gisei''s tone was far too calm.


    "That is a secret grandpa, I mean, it''s not like I showed him an Onsen full of hairy old men right?" I grinned.


    Tayuya tried so hard to hold her laughter but failed and fell into a giggling mess.


    Grandpa just face palmed, shaking his head and probably wondering where he went wrong with my education.


    Jokes on him I''m what, 25 now with my other life? My education has been long done.


    ¡­


    Tayuya playing the flute was one of the most beautiful things I''d heard in a while.


    ¨C-------------


    (Tayuya''s first cycle)


    Gisei Age 48 / Jin Age 12 / Tayuya Age 11


    No one was ready for it. Especially not me.


    It started as a normal day, we woke up, Gisei taught us whatever he wanted, we did our session, everything was going well.


    Until that fateful moment.


    Tayuya in the last week had been acting weird, she was tired often, Changing moods in the blink of an eye and being easily irritated.


    I should''ve seen the sign, I had a little sister after all.


    Now, The Ketsury?gan has some¡­ Side effects, one of them is being able to smell the blood around me. It''s not very useful since well, no one is bleeding often here.


    Except if they''re getting killed of course. But Im getting distracted.


    I was in the middle of meditation when a faint smell of blood tickled my nose, I tried ignoring it, but to no success, with a sigh I had opened my eyes and tried to spot the source.


    So Imagine my surprise when it led me directly above me.


    It was at this point that I knew something was gonna go wrong.


    "What?" Tayuya snapped at me, she was scratching between her thighs.


    "I can smell blood coming from you." I simply replied.


    "What the fuck are you talking about fucker. Do you see any wounds on me?"


    "Well no, but you''re bleeding somewhere, I can smell it, its been annoying me for the past 10 minutes."


    Gisei appeared next to me. "So it''s happening huh?" He sighed, clearly, whatever was happening, he didn''t want to explain¡­


    Oh.


    Oh no.


    "Tayuya Sweetie, can you get down please? We''re going to have a little talk."


    10 minutes later¡­


    Tayuya had called (read Screamed at the top of her lungs, and she as strong ones) a guard here.


    Coincidently, it was the one that I had used to get her flute years ago.


    He was currently grabbed by his neck, his face pressed on the cell.


    He had the misfortune of saying no to Tayuya.


    "I don''t give a shit about your opinion! You either get me what I need, or I will rip your head off your scrawny neck and shit down your throat! I will not wait a fucking week to STOP BLEEDING FROM DOWN THERE WITHOUT ANYTHING TO HELP IT! SO MOVE YOUR GODDAMN ASS AND GET ME WHAT I NEED!" She released him (Read Pushed) and he fell on his ass, he nodded fast and shunshin''d away in the blink of an eye.


    Poor dude got scarred for life a second time.


    Tayuya Huffed Angrily, and went back to her bed.


    I whispered to Gisei, "You could''ve approached the subject a little better don''t you think?"


    "Probably not."


    We looked at each other, then at Tayuya, we both drew the same conclusion.


    Let''s not agitate her for now. It''d be bad for our safety I think.


    Dear god, its going to be like this every month.


    And I''m going to have to go through puberty again too.


    Fuck.


    Kill me now, the first time was bad enough.

 The start of a new life

    (Gisei, Age 50/ Jin, Age 14/ Tayuya, Age 13)


    Years flew by, Grandpa had taught us everything he could.


    I had fought in the pit on multiple occasions, Grandpa had pushed us to do it when he thought we were finally ready, he had told us that this place would force us to kill, and if we didnt do it, it is us that would get killed.


    I still hated it, killing is probably something I will never get used to.


    Us Three had earned a reputation of sort, after a few years, no one wanted to face us.


    Gisei was known for crushing his opponent with overwhelming Earth jutsu. Always leaving the arena with minimals injuries, and also that if you wanted to not die slowly, you shouldn''t insult me or Tayuya.


    Tayuya herself was nothing to scoff at, While her chakra reserves were on the smaller side compared to me or Gisei, it never bothered her when fightning, using everything at her disposal. Its even her strongest point, since her chakra reserves are small, her control is almost flawless and even I have trouble knowing if she didn''t stick me in a genjutsu.


    I''m getting better at spotting them though.


    I even gave her the idea of one piece Six powers, or at least the Moonwalk and Tempest Kick, her fights usually boiled down to her evading the opponent''s attack while slowly robbing him of his capabilities with genjutsu, before beheading him with a Tempest kick.


    So far she never had to use the Moonwalk since she learned it.


    And then there was me, at the start, if you asked the prisonners, they would tell I was the one they would want to fight, My aversion to killing made them thought I was the easiest target of the bunch.


    I had two ''favourite'' method to kill my opponents, the water prison jutsu that zabuza had used against kakashi during the wave arc.


    It was quite possibly my favorite jutsu to use, there''s some kind of satisfaction to having your opponent''s life right at your fingertips. And it was clean, no blood, just oxygen deprivation.


    The second one was¡­ more bloody. I had decided to learn how to use the Ketsury?gan, it wasn''t really used in the anime, but I do remember that Chino could kill anyone she touched by manipulating their blood.


    So I tried, the first time, the man I was fighting, the lower half of his body had been the one of a snake, I had incapacited him with a Genjutsu, and placed my hand on his heart, I concentrated on the flow of his blood, and made it erupt everywhere inside of him.


    He looked more like a dried tomato when I was done. A dried tomato with guts and brain matters everywhere around it.


    A pain in the back of my head shook me out of my musings, holding the back of my head I turned towards the source of the pain.


    "Stop daydreaming shithead. A guard is going to make an annoucement and Orochimaru-sama will be present." Tayuya had changed a lot during the years, she became more like she was in the show. Meaning, she had a much more sharp-tongue, though Grandpa had somewhat forced her to restrain herself.


    But that isnt the only thing that had changed, she looked exactly like in the show, she had lost all her baby fat, giving her a slender build, really, the only real difference is that she didn''t yet have her bandanna to keep her hair from falling in front of her eyes.


    "Right. Let''s see what the pedo-snake has to say Chibi-Yuya." Tayuya snickered, before slapping me again for the calling her Chibi-yuya and insulting Orochimaru.


    That was one other thing that wasn''t like in the show, I cant quite remember if it was ever really talked about, but right now, she hates Orochimaru, and only refer him as sama to make sure she doesn''t get in trouble.


    As for Chibi-yuya, well what can I say, I found the nickname cute and I''m almost Two heads taller than her.


    Actually, I really want to meet my parents one day if they''re still alive, They must''ve been excellent shinobis.


    I have a great affinity towards water, the Ketsury?gan, and I got great sensing abilities, so great in fact that by touching the ground with my fingertips, I am able to sense everything and everyone inside the prison complex, their affinity, chakra reserves, though, seals are blocking the way to the surface, so we can''t know for sure how far I can go.


    "I hope it''ll be fun, I''m bored." She said. And I rolled my eyes.


    "Unfortunately Tayuya, Your version of fun is probably not the same as Orochimaru." A hand appeared on my shoulder, and Grandpa''s head popped up in between me and Tayuya. "His version is probably discovering new ways to experiment on people and torturing them. Yours is killing."


    "I can''t understand how you both do it so easily, take a life." I said.


    "Well, it''s actually quite easy we''re not pansies like you." Tayuya retorted, a smug grin plastered on her face.


    The guards opened our cell and everyone was taken down into different arena, Tayuya went into the 3rd one, while me and Grandpa had to get into the 2nd.


    Once every prisonner was placed inside one of the five arenas, the guards instaured silence, by killing the loudest first.


    The First door to the prison complex opened, and Orochimaru came in, a guard following him.


    The guard in question looked exactly like a sound shinobi, he even had the headband.


    So I guess Sound was created not too long ago.


    They placed themselves in a temporary booth where the five arenas could be seen.


    The Sound-nin advanced and cleared his throat.


    "I have great news. Orochimaru-sama has decided to grace Five people with the chance of leaving the cells, becoming his personals bodyguards and trained by Orochimaru-sama himself. He said.


    People became excited by this. A chance to get out? This is a dream for them.


    Me personally, and other who knew how to use their brain understood the hidden meaning.


    Only Five people will come out alive.


    Orochimaru stepped up and judged the reactions, he smiled, but it was not a good smile, it was a dark one.


    "Of course, I cannot have useless people as my bodyguards, So only the ones with the best potential will be chosen. As to how they will be chosen? It is fairly simple. They''ll be the only survivors of their respectives matches."


    There it was, everyone''s excitement turned into horror. The doors all closed, and the guards disappeared, Orochimaru''s word settled and people began panicking, inching away from each other.


    Orochimaru just laughed as he went to sit in the booth. Sick fuck is enjoying this too.


    I looked towards Grandpa, who had disappeared, where had he gone to?


    It''s really not the time for his jokes! We''re going to have to fight to the¡­ death.


    The realisation hit me like a ton of bricks.


    I am going to have to¡­ Kill Grandpa, Kill Gisei. We are going to have to try and kill each other.


    This can''t be happening.


    My fists clenched, I forced myself to calm down. No time to think about it right now. I sensed all around me, we are around a hundred people, grandpa moved to the furthest point away from me.


    The lights turned on, indicating that the fights had started.


    A man approached me, grinning, he surely thought I was easy prey.


    Idiot, Who targets the only person that looks calm? That''s asking to get killed.


    "That''s it, don''t move. It''ll be quick." He extended his arm towards my throat.


    I grabbed his arm and crushed it, he screamed in pain.


    I activated the Ketsury?gan, "Ketsury?gan: Human bomb technique." every major blood vessel exploded in a single second.


    The man fell to the ground.


    I moved, so fast that I left an after-image behind me, I dodged projectiles, punches, Bodies were thrown around by Orochimaru''s strongest experiments.


    Someone had thrown a kunai in my direction, not losing momentum I grabbed it mid-air and threw it back before moving to another target.


    Others had started alliances, a group of five man targeted me.


    Four of them rushed me, while the last one started going through handsigns.


    Bother.


    I ran towards the four men, dodging through their sloppy attacks. I wasted no time with them and stuck them in a genjutsu, they''d be taken care off by the time I finished that guy.


    "Fire release: Flame bullets!" The man''s cheeks swelled and little fire balls came in waves from his mouth.


    It''s impressive, not a lot of people know ninjutsu here.


    Too bad for him I have a Water affinity.


    I weaved through a series of handsigns of my own, "Water Release: Water sphere." I willed water to appear around me, creating a small sphere, the fireballs collided with it, extinguishing as they did. Other missed and hit other prisonners, who screamed as they started burning. I willed the water that had appeared around me into the form of senbons and threw half of them towards the man.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    The shock of me blocking his attack stopped him from dodging. He got struck by most of them and fell down, I quickly whirled, the four mans had gotten in a fight with another man, who had the body mass of a sumo, the genjutsu made them think it was me and attacked him. He crushed them one by one.


    I used the rest of the water needles to kill the sumo, piercing his head as he was about to crush the last one.


    The man breathed a sigh of relief, before noticing that the sumo''s body was falling on him, also crushing him.


    Needless to say, he will not get up ever again.


    A giant fist made of earth sweeped through other prisonners, Grandpa was over there. I know where not to go then.


    Time passed, I honestly couldn''t even tell how long it had been since the start of this massacre, nor how many I had to add to the list of people I had killed.


    It wasn''t long before finally, it was only me and grandpa.


    We stood accross of each other. Bodies laying around everywhere, Blood staining the ground. Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes.


    Grandpa simply smiled, "Jin, Don''t cry now."


    "But I don''t want to kill you!" I screamed. I forced the tears back.


    "There is no way I want to either, that''s why you will have to, but¡­" Grandpa took a fighting stance, "before I let you, you''ll have to show me how far you''ve come. Come on Jin. Make me proud."


    I smiled. "Right, here I come then Grandpa."


    I pushed chakra to every muscles I could. And dashed towards Grandpa, the ground around my starting point caved.


    "Water Style: Water bullets!" I shot out Dozen of waters bullets.


    "Earth Style: Earth Wall!" An earth wall 3 meters tall rose from the ground and blocked the bullets.


    I Jumped above the wall and pre-emptively spat another volley of water bullet towards the ground, but Grandpa wasnt there anymore.


    I landed on the wall and looked around, trying to spot him.


    I heard a cracking noise and my instincts screamed at me to jump, so I did, not a second too late, as Grandpa burst from under me, he threw kunais towards me. I skillfully Deflected most of them, but ultimately one hit me in the stomach and lost my momentum. I landed on my feets, and took out the kunai out.


    "I guess the exercises to increase your tolerance to pain were too weak if that fazed you." Grandpa Taunted. He reappeared in front of me, ready to deliver another strike with a kunai, I blocked with my own and delivered a kick to his stomach, he blocked with his free hand, I tried to slash at his arm that was blocking me but he also caught it.


    "What are you gonna do now?"


    "Water release: Severing wave!" Grandpa''s eyes went wide and he let go of me to duck.


    I kicked him in the chin, he flew back and landed on his two feets, he spat a blob of blood on the ground.


    "That was a good hit. I didn''t expect you to know how to do ninjutsu without handsigns yet. Now..."He flew through handsigns and slammed his hands on the ground, "I am curious to see what you will do against this. Earth Release: Giant stone fist!" He created another fist that he had used earlier to sweep through the prisonners and launched it at me.


    That jutsu created a giant fist the size of 2 boulders stacked on each other, it was a destructive attack, but also slow, which meant he had to combo it with something to trap his opponents.


    Namely, the mud garden. I jumped in the air, the ground where I was becoming mud, the bodies laying around quickly got absorbed into the mud, effectively taking out my safe spots. Vines grew, trying to catch me mid air.


    "Water release: Water Bomb!" I created a small water sphere, that fell towards the ground before exploding. The mud-vines promptly shattered. I quickpy put my hand on the floor as I landed and willed the water out of the ground away, turning the mud back into solid ground.


    My reserves of chakra are dangerously low. And none of the water jutsus I know are strong enough to destroy the fist. And the moment I step into the mud, I''ll get caught.


    A dead end no matter what I do.


    "Heh, fuck it. Why not try it now I guess." Taking a kunai, I sliced the palm of my right hand, blood started flowing down.


    "Ketsury?gan¡­" Blood coming from my wound accumulated itself under me, creating a small pool, I jumped towards the fist, putting as much strength as I could in my right leg, the blood following behind it, I spun on myself, the blood starting to take on a Dragon form."Blood Dragon tornado!"


    My leg collided with the giant fist, the dragon right behind it, it powered through the boulder-sized fist, it slowly stopped moving, cracks appearing around the point of impact, before it finally cracked under the pressure and flew everywhere in tiny pieces.


    I fell on the ground, exhausted and panting heavily. I''ve got no energy left.


    Grandpa appeared in front of me, and placed his hand on my hand. "You did good Jin, I''m proud of you." I watched as he grabbed his scarf, before placing it around my neck. I was confused as to why he was doing this, it was his.


    "You know, You and Tayuya call me grandpa, but we are not from the same family, so I decided to do this." He finished tying the scarf around my neck, and ruffled my hairs. "My name is Gisei Uzuki, and from today on, your name are Uzuki Jin and Uzuki Tayuya. When you see her, tell her me, ok?"


    I nodded, and finally understood where he was going with this. Tears started streaming down my face, I knew what was happening next.


    "Now, You need to promise me something, if you ever get the opportunity to go to Konoha, please tell my daughter what happened to me alright. Her name is Y?gao Uzuki, You can''t miss her, she has purple hair, just like her mother." He was crying too.


    "Alright grandpa." Despite the tears, he smiled and pulled me in a hug, I hugged him back.


    "Thank you Jin." I wiped the tears from my eyes and steeled my face. Grandpa chuckled, "Eh, it''s amazing. How much you look like him when you do this. I guess this is fate that I met you."


    I looked at him, puzzled by what he said.


    "Nothing, just rambling." He pushed me back, breaking the hug. "Now, please do it Jin."


    Nodding, I grabbed the kunai tightly in my hand.


    "Right, I love you Grandpa."


    "I love you too Jin."


    I struck.


    A guard appeared next to me and put his hand on my shoulder, everything blurred, he had sunshin''d me to a new room. Tayuya was here, tapping her foot on the ground, when she saw me she stopped, she had a wound on her forehead, but other than that looked relatively unhurt.


    I could also see sakon and ukon both sitting on a couch. And Kidomaru, he was easily recognizable with his six arms.


    Jir?b? was nowhere to be seen.


    "Wait here, another match is ongoing." the guard shortly told me, before disappearing.


    As soon as he disappeared Tayuya ran towards me with relieved smile and hugged me. I returned the hug, and forced a smile.


    We let go of each other moments later, "Hey shithead." She said, "Glad to see you could make it. Now we just gotta wait for the geezer to come."


    I flinched, my smile disappearing. Tayuya noticed my reaction.


    "Oi Shithead, what is it?" Her eyes trailed down to my neck, where Grandpa''s scarf is. "Why¡­ Why do you have the Geezer''s scarf."


    "I¡­ We¡­" I couldn''t find the words. Swallowing the ball in my throat, I found what I could say. "My name is Uzuki Jin, Son of Uzuki Gisei, who sacrificed himself so I could live. I have a sister named Uzuki Tayuya."


    She processed my words, Tayuya gasped when she understood what I said.


    "He''s¡­ Dead?"


    I Nodded, "I had to¡­ He was in the same match has me." I didn''t dare to look at her in the eyes, I had killed someone precious for the both of us. She had all right to hate me.


    Tayuya threw herself at me, I willed myself to move to grab her. For the first time in years, since the day she had to kill for the first time, Tayuya Silently cried again,"fuckfuckfuck."


    Minutes passed, we had moved to one of the couches in the room, and sat, I spent my time buried in Grandpa''s scarf.


    Guess I won''t sleep tonight either huh?


    Finally, the guard appeared again, with another Kid, I recognized Jir?b?. His unique hairstyle and face easily recognizable (I mean look at his face! It looks so fucking small compared to the size of his head!)


    He was worse for the wear, he was bleeding from multiple wounds, his clothes were destroyed.


    "Follow me." The guard said. We did so, Sakon and Ukon were first, we were right behind them with Tayuya, followed by kidomaru and Jir?b?.


    The guard led us into a corridor. There were Five doors, one right behind the guard, a sign on it saying ''lounge'' and two on each sides of it, a sign with Bedrooms on it.


    "This is your rooms from now on. There are place for two in each room, You can choose a roommate or go alone." He disappeared once again.


    I entered the room that was on the left of the corner Tayuya behind me, Sakon and Ukon quite predictably went in the same room, next to us, Kidomaru took the one next to us and Jir?b? the one in next to Sakon and Ukon


    The room we were in was larger than the cell for sure, the beds were also a lot bigger, and not made out of rocks.


    One of the wall had sliding panels, which I assumed was the wardrobe. I opened it, Clothes of all size and color were sitting in it, in neat piles.


    There also was another door in the room, I opened it, it was a simple bathroom. A shower on the left, a mirror and a sink.


    Oh my god, yes.


    "Wanna go first?" I asked Tayuya. She nodded and went in, locking the door behind her. Not long after the shower started running.


    I walked to one of the beds, and sat next to it. No way was I covering the sheets with blood, even if it dried.


    I sat there, for god knows how long, staring at the ceilling before Tayuya finally came out of the bathroom, wearing just a towel.


    "Your turn, You look like shit, Shithead." She said, trying to lighten up the mood.


    "I feel like it that''s for sure." I responded, a small smile on my face.


    I locked the door behind me, opening one of the cabinets, I grabbed a Towel, undressed, throwing the prison clothes I had into the bin and hopped in the shower.


    It felt good, being under hot water, after years of cold showers in prison. I grabbed shampoo, scrubbing away at every little spot, making sure to be rid of the blood and dirt, I watched as it slowly poured down the drain.


    Ten minutes later, I was out of the shower.


    I got out of the bathroom, Tayuya was dressed, a simple grey shirt and grey shorts. But most importantly, she had put on a black hat with pipe like stripes. The same one she wore in the anime and manga, minus the bandages, that I guess she''ll put on herself later.


    I walked to the wardrobe, grabbed cloths my size, a black shirt, underwears and a pair of jeans, or what looked like jeans at least, dressed myself quickly and fell on the bed.


    "This was a shitty day huh?" I said outloud.


    "You can say it again. Last time I get fucking excited at something the bastard wants." Tayuya responded, wow, She insulted Orochimaru openly, guess she''s more tired than I thought


    "How was your side of the arena? Mine really had no one interesting, most of them didn''t even take me seriously, I thought we had a reputation too." I didn''t mention my fight with Grandpa, or grandpa at all, no need to make a shitty day any worse.


    "Was alright I guess, the moment I started throwing jutsus around, they all fell like a castle of cards. Only the one at the end was tough to beat, and that''s just because he could go underground, made it a bitch to kill him."


    The sound of knocking on the door reached our ears, cutting our discussion short.


    I got up and opened, Tayuya just sat up from the bed and looked past me.


    Kidomaru''s face greeted me.


    "Yo. A guard just came, he said we were free to explore if we wanted, wanna come with us?" By us, he meant the other members of the sound four.


    Or is it Five now that I exist? Or Six since Sakon and Ukon technically count twice. Ugh, fuck that.


    I looked back towards Tayuya, asking her silently if she wanted to, she shrugged, indicating she didn''t care.


    So it''s my choice then.


    I sighed, "Sure. Not like I''ll be able to sleep at this hour anyway." Not like I''ll be able to sleep with what I had to do.


    "Sweet, Name''s Kidomaru." He greeted me.


    "I''m Sakon, and this is my brother Ukon." Sakon said, pointing at his brother''s head, who was currently inside of him.


    Aaaaaand, there''s an arm waving at us from a his shoulder. This is going to take time to get used to.


    "I''m Jir?b?."


    "I''m Jin, and this is my sister, Tayuya. Nice to meet you all I guess." I returned the greeting.


    Sakon inspected the both of us, "I don''t see the ressemblance."


    I rolled my eyes, "Not by blood, we''ve known each other for almost 9 years. I don''t remember when we decided we''d be siblings, or who did in between the both of us."


    "Ah."


    Tayuya joined me at the door. "So, are we going to stand here like idiots or are we going to look around?"


    Everyone shrugged, before kidomaru spoke up, "Let''s start by the lounge I guess."


    A quick agreement from everyone and a second later we''re entering the lounge.


    It is positively gigantic, it looks like the room the guard had taken us to while waiting for the others ''winners'' of each battle royale.


    The room is big,There are a few couches, all for at least 3 people each, a table to go with every one of them, there''s a kitchen fully equipped, the wall in front of the couches is fully stacked with bookshelves. The floor is is covered by a Dark grey carpet. In the middle of the room there is a dining table that has enough space for at least ten peoples.


    "This definitely beats the cells." One of us said, I didn''t catch who, I was too busy gaping.


    Everyone scattered, I went to the shelves, Kidomaru with me, every bookshelves was stacked with different types of books, Fantasy, History, Picture books, Novels, for training, theory on seals and so on¡­


    "Hey guys! Everything in the kitchen is full of food!" Jir?b? called out to us.


    That particular comment got everyone in the kitchen in record time. It got us even faster to the table to eat everything we could grab.


    There was everything, candies, fruits, Cereals, Chocolate, Jir?b? even grabbed a Strawberry cake from the fridge.


    I love strawberries cakes.


    "Well," I said, "Our idea to visit the place was rather short lived." Everyone chuckled. Before freezing.


    "Uh? What is it guys? There''s something on my face?" I asked confused.


    "Kukuku, I am glad to see everyone is enjoying themselves."


    I definitely didn''t scream like a little girl. Nope, It was the manliest scream I ever did.


    ¡­


    Fuck you guys.
