44 Alternate POV: Yugito & Aftermission Report

Creeping silently through the trees she watched as the Kyuubi Jinchuriki was aimlessly walking for. 'Don't.' She ignored the voice of the beast rumbling inside of her as she flipped through handseals drawing on a trace of the beasts chakra. 'Fire Style: Mice Bloom' 

'Tch, she dodged by luck.' Lunging forward chakra threading through her nails she'd leaped from the tree lashing out, only for the Kyuubi Jinchuriki to dodge again, not even noticing her. 'How is this possible?'  Lashing out again the Kyuubi Jinchuriki this time actually dodged on purpose leaping back. "Oh! Hello there! Sorry, you must have gotten angry I didn't notice you." The girl's voice was young and innocent. 'Don't fall for it! Run!'

The girl in front of her, Naruko if she remembered correctly continued to speak, "I'm sorry about that! I was just heading to the hot springs and must have gotten in your way. I'm Naruko Uzumaki, would you like to go with me?"

Yugito narrowed her eyes, remembering the words of the Raikage, "The Raikage told me about you. He said you would try something like this, just like the Yellow Flash. No Uzumaki, I'm here to battle!" 

The girl slumped "Aww, but I was hoping we could just relax." 'Foolish child.' The girl straightened up, "But I suppose teaching you and Ay a lesson would be good as well." 'How dare she! Thinking she could teach Raikage-sama a lesson!' "Lesson one Yugito Nii - I'm fucking 'Her', trying to battle me is stupid."

Her hand instinctively came up to block the Kunai as she thought, 'What does that even mean?' Yet she couldn't complete her thoughts as the Kunai sliced through her nail, and only a tail formed by the Nibi saved her life. "Lesson two - don't use your nails in combat, they take way too long to make look perfect."

Rage and shame filled her. 'How dare she!' 'I warned you foolish child. RUN!' 

The following battle she couldn't react - always outmaneuvered. Outsped. Out strengthened. She was played with and toyed with. Even as the Nibi forced more and more chakra into her body. Before, finally, the Nibi took control, and her consciousness faded. 

She woke up bruised, battered, and broken. With the girl sitting next to her. "Hey, that was pretty fun. We should do this again soon." Yugito groaned trying to say something, but all that came out was a wheeze and blood. "Oh. Right. Pretty sure I accidentally crushed your vocal chords. Don't worry, those will heal soon with all of Mata-chan's chakra inside of you!" 'Mata... chan? Who?' A small hand patted her on the head. 'This!' The girl stood up, "Alright, I'm gonna go meet up with my team to go to the hot springs. I sense that yours is coming on over." 

'This... Has this all just been a game for her?' Yet the girl stopped, turning around for a moment, and all of a sudden Yugito stopped breathing. Even the slumbering beast inside of her stilled as the air shifted. For a brief moment as the girl stared at her, all she could see and feel was horror. The girl's eyes narrowed, and her heart stopped. "Lesson Five. Each Bijuu is a sentient being with a full range of emotions. They've lived for over a thousand years, are the direct creations, and thus children of the Sage of Six Paths. They have names. They have feelings. They've had lives. They are now imprisoned for no reason other than human greed - bar Shukaku the crazed idiot. If the next time you don't even know the Nibi's name, I will kill you and permanently take her away from Kumo."

The girl tossed up a hand and said, "See you next time Yugito Nii. Little sister." As the girl left, she could finally breathe, and her heart started again. She could feel the blood flowing to her ears as she let out a ragged gasp. 'I... warned you.' Heavy deep panting came from the beast. 'If you hadn't.... neglected your training.... neglected our bond. You would have sensed... what lay inside of her.' Yugito groaned as she pulled herself up. 'The Kyuubi lays inside of her, just like other Jinchuriki.' 

For a brief moment, the Nibi didn't respond before a roar of rage escaped it. 'YOU FOOL!' Their connection was forcibly shut closed, and as it was her healing slowed down, and a groan escaped Yugito's lips as she slumped back to the ground, all her energy leaving her.

-A few days later-

"Me and bro, we're disappointed yo." Killer Bee rested against the wall his arms crossed as the Raikage set behind his desk, and Yugito stood at attention.

"I lost to the Kyuubi Jinchuriki but we kne-"

"No. We ain't disappointed because you lost to Nine-o. She's a beast a real one, you feel? No - we disappointed because she's right. Little Miss Nine hit you on the mark. You're slacking and lacking. You're mistreating Two. You ain't treatin' yourself correctly, cause you ain't making friends with Miss Fire. Yo!" 

The Raikage glared at Bee before continuing on. "You've been told repeatedly that a Jinchuriki's true power is by connecting with the Bijuu inside of them. Just because we seal them inside of you, doesn't mean you get to act how you have. You'll be given another chance. You'll be sent to the Island, don't disappoint us again. You're dismissed."

-Ay-

As Yugito left the room his brother rose up from the wall. "Bro, Matatabi has a message, yo!"

He grunted picking up his weights. "What is it, Bee?"

"Miss Two has said that inside of Little Miss Nine, she sensed something familiar, yo!"

"The Toad Contract?" If that was the case and she had signed it, it would raise their evaluations of her threat level.

"No bro, not a contract! Miss Two said she sensed remnants of the sage's son, yo!"

He paused mid-lift. "Are you sayin-" 

He was cut off, "Miss Two is saying his chakra was indeed on her, yo!"

His fist shattered the weight. "The Mad Prince is alive?"

Bee's face was somber. "Don't know bro, Eight-o is real spooked. Another thing, Little Miss Nine referred to Miss Two as little sister."

Lightning flickered across Ay's form for a moment. "The Hachibi still insists that he was created by the Sage of Six Paths?"

"Ahuh!"

Ay closed his eyes taking a deep breath, before a fist lashed out slamming onto the desk and turning it into a fine powder. "Konoha time and time again! First, we had to deal with Minato Namikaze. Now his daughter is masquerading as the Sage of Six Paths daughter?!? Enough! Bee, you're going to the island to teach Yugito properly. I won't need you for a couple of months - DON'T GOOF OFF!" The veins on the forehead of Ay popped at the last part.

"Chill bro, I know! No goofin' when we beefin'. When on the island, I'll keep out for Big Three and Little Three! But chill out bro. the Daughter and Son have been dead for a thousand years. Eight-o is sure it should just be the remnant chakras. Like what happened to Kinkanku and Ginkaku with the tools, bro!"

Ay took a deep breath. "You're probably right Bee. But just the thought..." His teeth gritted together. 'It's always Konoha. Why not Kumo?'
