The Girl With The Scars Book 2 {A Naruto FanFiction}

Confessions

I stop by my house to change into a loose, white tank and grey shorts and put my prosthetic back on.  I wrap myself in bandages again to regain a sense of security. I meet everyone in a clearing in a nearby training forest. Kakashi throws a few pieces of wood into the flame. Choji, Kiba and Naruto sit around the fire roasting marshmallows while Ino, Lee and TenTen eat their s'mores. I sit down next TenTen and the everyone else starts to form a circle. "I guess you guys want me to tell you guys now," I look around at their anxious faces. I sigh,"Well I guess I should start from the beginning,"

FLASHBACK- Third POV

A small girl about 2 years old waddles around the outskirts of the Village Hidden in the Stone. She occasionally had people give her food but besides that she ate wild berries. The girl sit under a tree and relaxes. A pale snake man sees this girl and is immediately interested. He approaches the girl and she looks up at him calmly,"Who are you?" an unexpectedly strong voice says. "My name is Orochimaru and and I was wondering if I could take you with me to a new home,"

"I ended up living with the Akatsuki for 3 years. No one seemed to have questioned why I was there. I was taught basic ninja skills as well as sword technique from them. But, Orochimaru defected from the Akatsuki and took me with him. When he established a hideout he began to train me extensively. I still remember him slashing at my skin so I could "build up endurance" It was then when he noticed that I heal quickly but it almost always leaves a scar. Naturally being the sadistic bastard he is he sliced me up even more often. I was there for a year before I escaped," I lift up shirt  a little and turn to the side,"I got that when I was escaping," I indicate the large diagonal gash.

I let go of my shirt,"Well, I went back to the Akastuki because that was the only family I knew. But I realized that there was so much more for me that the hideout walls. I left them at age 6. I proceed to jump from village to village. I usually spent a year per village. Along the way I became a genin in each village which is why I have so many headbands. I trained with many senseis including ex member of the seven swordsmen, Zabuza. When I spent about two months in the Village Hidden in the waterfall, my third village, I became emotionally numb. I felt nothing. The only time I felt like I was in this world is when I was in pain,"

FLASHBACK- Third POV

A girl sits alone behind a waterfall. She feels like she forgot how to feel anything. All she felt was numbness. She remembers the feeling of blades dragging across her skin when Orochimaru tortured her. That was the only time she felt like human, when she felt pain. She grips a kunai in her fingertips and not thinking she begins the slice her legs. She tried different spots on her body until she found one that felt right, her forearm. From then on, when she needed to feel, she felt pain. It made her feel something and melted away her horrifying thoughts.

END

My shoulder raise as I hold my wrist remembering,"Let's just say not all the scar were from other people," I mumble. "Then I came here. Here I felt like I was at home.  But there are some parts of my life here that almost no one knows about. Nobody but Asuma and Kakashi knows what happened during the battle of the chuunin exam. Well, what happened was I fought along side the third Hokage against Orochimaru. The battle left me with my leg from the knee down to shatter. I was wheelchair bound from then until I left Konoha. As most of you know, Sasuke and I dated somewhere in time," I look off to the side.

"Well he left a note on the day he left telling me that he never loved me anyway and about how I was just another broken toy to be thrown away by him. He kept going on and on about how I was worthless and everyone hated me. I was already messed up from the battle at he exams but that broke me," I hold my arms to my chest,"That day I almost died from bleeding out," I shakily unwrap my left arm.  A six inch gash greets my eyes. "If Naruto didn't find me them, I would have been dead," I lower my voice. I look up and see them looking at me with sad eyes. I rewrap my arm and continue. "I left Konoha to bounce back from what happened. I got my leg amputated and got a prosthetic. I traveled back to some of my old villages and trained for awhile. Somewhere along the way, I got captured by Orochimaru and got the gash on my eye from it. I also found some of my clan, including my older brother who trained me using my kekkai genkai, Tenchi no me and my summoning animal, a phoenix. Then I decide to become a bounty hunter. I fought and killed only the worst of the worst criminals under the alias, Blaze.After that, I came back here and that's my secret fucked up life," I finish. They stay quiet, too quiet for comfort.

"Di-did I s-say too mu-much? Do y-yo-you ha-ate m-me now?" I fluster, tearing up slightly.  Several of them shed crocodile tears comically as the capture me into a hug. "No one can ever hate you! You are too precious for this world!" Kakashi says melodramatically. The hug gets progressively tighter and tighter,"Guys," They don't seem to hear "GUY BREATHING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF LIVING AND YOU ARE KEEPING ME FROM DOING IT!" I screeched. I hear numerous "Ohs" and "Oops" and "Sorry".  We sit down by the fire and tell funny stories. We even sing a few songs.

I suddenly hear panting and bounding footsteps. My head whips around to the source of the noise. A chuunin is bent over panting. "What is it?" Kakashi asks. The chuunin stand up straight. "I need the jonin senseis and Hono to go to the Hokage's office immediately!" I look over at Kakashi and the other jonin. We bolt up and follow him to Tsunade-sama's office.

We open the door and file in. I notice my anbu team there as well,"I have an emergency mission for you," she turns to me,"The village Hidden in the Fire just interceded a message from a  large rouge group of nin. The message said that they will be besieged in 5 days. They asked for us to send some help. Bring your teams to fight back. My face drains of color. My clan is there. And so is my brother.
