Sasuke's Unknown Older Sister (Book 0: Mina Uchiha)

Chapter 1: Mina Uchiha

Sasuke

Looking at what remained of his old mentor's, teacher's, and would-be parasite's body. The only thing that remained was white skin, and bubbling purple blood; pooling on the blanket. Sasuke felt an odd form of relief. Orochimaru had truly thought he could take over his body, and Sasuke had allowed him to hold that belief for three years.

Orochimaru should have learnt from trying to take over an Uchiha's body from that man. Instead, he was free to watch his body get weaker and weaker, until he couldn't even get out of bed without help. Let alone keep an eye on what he was doing, but Sasuke never had a guard follow him around.

Unlike what he told Kiyoshi and Sakura, he was never going to let that snake take control of his body. Not now, and definitely not three years ago. Either way, Orochimaru had taught him everything he had been willing to in the last three years. It was time to move on, continue training until he got his revenge and killed his target. Along with anyone who got in his way.

"Which one are you?" Kabuto asked glasses falling down his nose as he dropped the medication tray, tiny white pills bouncing on the floor. Sasuke didn't say anything, just a smile on his face as his other so called teacher ran to his master's door. Sasuke would let him see what was left, before showing him Orochimaru's weakness and his death.

Kiyoshi

Tsunade looked like she was in the room by herself when she opened the door, but Kiyoshi hadn't meant to come to the Hokage tower this late. If she was correct Shizune would be at home, asleep, since it was midnight. She had learnt over the few months that Tsunade found it more peaceful to work on paperwork during the night then day.

She believed that her attention wouldn't be divided between who was talking to her, and making sure she knew what she was signing. Kiyoshi didn't want to know how much had been passed without the previous Hokage's knowledge.

"Kiyoshi?" Tsunade asked her light blonde hair pulled into low ponytails, brown eyes looking into her blue ones. "Is something wrong?"

"I've gotten wind of rotten roots under the great tree," Kiyoshi said. A simple code, one that Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru had created before the start of the Second Shinobi War. One that Jiraiya had taught her when he started training her to take his spot in his spy network. One that she wouldn't be surprised if Tsunade had taught Sakura. "It's for the best, if the shadows moved away with the moon."

"Of course," Tsunade said. Kiyoshi sighing as the ANBU left the room, security seals activated mere seconds later. To be safe, she checked to make sure there were only two signatures in the room, and that no one was around the room to overhear their conversation.

Kiyoshi didn't want Danzo aware that she was catching onto his games, that she was planning his end. She found those pushed into a corner bite harder, then those who thought that they were still in control.

"I've got caught wind of Danzo's plans," Kiyoshi admitted. There wasn't a point to beating around the bush, Tsunade was the closet thing Kiyoshi had to an aunt-figure. Giving her a sad smile, as she picked at her orange jumper. "He plans to kill you, and a handful of your most loyal shinobi. He plans to become the sixth Hokage before his death."

"What?!" Tsunade asked punching her desk in half. Kiyoshi knew that it wasn't the first time that Tsunade had to replace her desk in the last week alone. She also knew that while Danzo had been Hiruzen's friend; he still hated that he became the Third Hokage over him. That he hated Tsunade for being the granddaughter of the first, a man who was known for his kindness. Wanting to build a village that supported tram work as a strength and not as a weakness. Along with being the great-niece of the second, and the student of the third.
