Lèse Majesté (A Naruto Lesson)

One: And it Hits the Ground for the First Time

Hello. I'm doing this for the #JustWriteIt challenge. My goal is 50k, and with how much I write, I can get 10k done in about 3~5 days. Or less.

Anyway, I do NOT own the cover, but I DID edit it to suit my needs. And yes, the title/def. of the word plays a STRONG role on this story.

If you didn't read it, this is about Madara, Yagura, and their "past". And some other people, but they aren't as important. No, I refuse to kill off Yagura. It won't make much of a difference. Also, Mei WILL be Mizukage... just not yet. And it is currently AFTER the 4th Shinobi World War. Yeah, they won. By the way, I don't read manga, I watch the anime.

Just thought I'd point that out.

I hope you enjoy, and I would be glad to add you part to my "Defying Saints" army if you do.

And it Hits the Ground for the First Time

We have always waited for it to unravel... we Kages. But sitting here at the summit for the first time since I was declared the Yondaime Mizukage, I have never felt more wrongly strung together.

I was the fourth Mizukage. The one where I was known to be cruel and seemingly possessed. They never knew how close they were to the truth...

I eyed Mei Truemi from the corner on my eye. She would be my advisor, or guard if you will. After meeting her blue eyes, I shifted my pink orbs to the Kages. They all gave my somewhat curious glances, confused of my sudden personality change.

Ah, yes... Though it may be the first summit I attended, it was the first where it was genuinely myself. Madara, a previously dead shinobi from Konoha, used Zetsu and Obito from the Atasuki to control me. Control goes in the way that I had no idea and lost my memory. That would be around two and a half decades.

I took a shaky breath, standing tall. My hands were on the table, making me more stable. I don't think I can ever be stable enough...

"A-As you all know, I was previously under the control of Madara Uchiha. He, Zetsu and Obito Uchiha from the Atasuki worked together to get the tailed beasts. Being the jailer for the Sanbi along as Mizukage, they held off on extracting it and instead imprisoned me."

I closed my eyes for a moment, but quickly regret it. Bloody sakura petals flew in the air, the screams of a young looking boy piercing the air while being tied to the cross--I shook my head, sweat dripping off my chin. The Kages gave me concerned looks, but said nothing.

"I... still don't have my memories back. But I do remember what happened to myself." Here I hesitated.

"Kakashi, can you put us in a world where Yagura's memories can be shown?" Tsunade suddenly asked, not escaping eye contact with me.

"Yeah. Mizukage-sama, please think of the start of the memories." I merely nodded, closing my eyes.

The man, the Uchiha, looked back at me, a sort of smirk on his face.

"What do you want, Obito? If you're here for the Sanbi, I'm afraid I must decline." I got into a fighting position, hands on my staff.

"No. Rest assured Yagura, I don't want the Sanbi... However I know of someone who wants you." My eyes narrowed at that information.

"Oh?And-" My next words were muffled as a pale hand with cracks in the skin like glass covered my mouth. I was also restrained, the staff in my hands falling out of reach.

My small size has never more of an issue than it has been now. Turning my head, I saw who my, ironically enough, jailer was before I was knocked out.
