That same day, another young woman's life took a new direction.
In the ninja era of Japan, a young woman sat drawing in nature energy. She was sitting still. Opening her eyes, she flipped
herself to the ground. She landed in a battle ready stance, a kunai suddenly in hand. She was a unique young woman, but few
ever saw this.
To most this maiden was a danger. They still held the untimely death of their Yondaime Hokage against her. They still
sought to take her life, thinking this would honor the great Minato Namikaze. These were the common villagers and the
extremely embittered shinobi.
Some wanted her under their control. This was due to the fact that the Yondaime had died after sealing the Kyuubi no
Kitsune into her on the night of her birth. The same night as his child's birth. A child that sadly had not made it.

Fifth Hokage Tsunade Senju sat behind her desk. She was thinking of her old teammate, Jiraiya. He had been killed on a
mission less than a month ago. She had not wanted him to go, but Jiraiya being Jiraiya had insisted. Now he was dead and
his student was among the toad summons, learning the art of Senjutsu. Leaning back, Tsunade closed her eyes, intending to
enjoy a few moments resting her eyes in peace.
In the next second, an explosion was heard and the peace became complete chaos.
One of the some that wanted control of the maiden training away from the village grinned as he thought over his plans for
her. 'The Kyuubi jinchuriki will arrive too late. She may kill the invaders, but our beloved hokage will die. One way or
another, today she will meet her end. The villagers will demand the jinchuriki's death. Instead, she will be exiled. If
she returns, she will die. Root will be sent after her and we will fake her death. Then her real training will begin.
Sarutobi, you were a fool. The jinchuriki should have been made a weapon as soon as she was old enough to enter academy.
You had to refuse me. With some lie that this girl was the Yondaime's child. You were pathetic. Sensei never should have
entrusted the village to you. However, I will become Rukodaime Hokage and we will have the girl as our ultimate weapon.'

After the village had been turned to rubble, the Kyuubi Jinchuriki arrived. She was in time to keep the invader from
outright killing Lady Tsunade. She said, "Granny Tsunade, you should not dirty your hands. I will deal with this trash.
Gamakichi."
A large orange toad with a purple stripe over both eyes, around his mouth and on his stomach leapt to land behind the
young woman. He listened as she told him, "Take Lady Tsunade off the field. Then stay away yourself." He did not like
this last part but would obey it. As he lifted the Hokage off the ground, she handed a mini clone of her summons to
old sage, Lord Fukasaku. "Take Katsuyu. She can help you."
The maiden nodded and her toad mentor brought the small clone to the pocket of the black-flame trimmed green haori she
now wore. It was short of sleeve and went down to her calf. "Katsue."
"You have grown, young one," commented the slug.
"Tell me what you know."

Three hours later, the victorious jinchuriki returned. She was not greeted. This she did not expect. She was slowly making
her way to the cabin in which she lived. She did not make it there for anbu grabbed her. She was taken to face the
council. She stood tall and straight.
As one, the three elderly councillors stiffened. They hated this female. She did not fear them. Her eyes looked too
deeply. She saw too much.'That blasted will of fire. Of all people, it shines brightest in her. Why her?' They would never
admit this, but they hated her because she reminded them of the Yondaime and the second jinchuriki.
Danzou stood. "You arrived too late. The Hokage is dead. What do you have to say?"
"Granny Tsunade was just fine when last I saw her. I was late because the messenger frog we left with her was killed. Its
name was erased from the registry. Granny Shima summoned us here as soon as she could. Lady Hokage was a fine leader."
One of the anbu backhanded her. "You traitor. How dare you. It's your fault she's dead."
"Is that truly what you believe,. . Sensei?"
Danzou growled. Then he realized she had heard him. Standing, he said, "You are exiled. Leave this village. You will take
nothing. If you ever return here, we will kill you. Escort her to the border."
"Danzou Shimura, this is not finis. I will return one day. The truth will win out," said the saddened young woman.
The anbu dragged her outside the gates then. One of them kicked her a ways from them. "Run,"
The young woman forced herself to run. The kick had fractured her hip. She started out slowly, but then was forced to go
faster for the anbu and her teammates began to chase her. She ran on despite the rain of attacks against her. She reached
the edge of a cliff and was dragged from the edge by her long red hair.
They jerked on it and she landed on her back. A kunai was stabbed into her palms, her wrists, her knees and her ankles.
They laughed and thought her helpless.
Suddenly, the sky overhead opened up. The Kyuubi's chakra seeped forth and the wind tore the knives from her.
The chakra used to harm her was mixed with Kyuubi's and she vanished in a flash of light.

Later she would come to and find her wounds tended to. She would learn that the young woman she oft dreamed of was real
and 'twas her rescuer. Then she would rescue her and together they would be the fulfillment of a revealing that had all
but been forgotten.
