The moment she was born, she'd been despised by her village. They'd show nothing but anger and fear towards the small child. Ren Yukimura would grow up alone, afraid, and unloved, had she not been found in the snow outside of her village, drenched i...
Silence filled the arena as we stared each other down. 'I thought the rest of my clan had been wiped out... I didn't know anyone was left...' I bit my lip in frustration as he just stared, still glaring. "Kakashi-Sensei, I thought Ren told us she was the last of her clan." I hear Sakura ask rather loudly. I flinch and feel a flush crawl up my neck. Takashi chuckled, his lips quirking up into a sneer.
"Did you really think you were the only one left? Please. When that disgrace left the clan with that man, we holed ourselves up in the Hidden Cloud. You were never the last to begin with. Just what's left of the old main branch." He sneered, smirking again when water started to rise from the tile below us. "The Side Branch Family has kept our family's shame a secret for generations until you were born. Sealing that, 'Thing' away within you." He growled as I pulled out a kunai. "I came here to finish what the Village In the Mountains could not."
I flinched in surprise, cocking my head. I braced my arms upwards as he used the water bullet jutsu, sending me sailing into the wall. I hit with a harsh crack, a gasp slipping through my lips. 'This... This guy.... Side Branch?' I yelped out in pain as he raced forward, crushing his shin into my side. I looked up at him and kicked upwards, catching him in the chin as I put some distance between the two of us. "What are you talking about?! What have I done to deserve all this?!" I shout at him, dodging yet another barrage of water bullets.
"You are the offspring of the clan head, you are the one to inherit it all! And that includes the tailed beast we have kept sealed within the head of the family! You! A child born with only half of our blood!" He sneered, pulling out his Katana. "You are a bastard child, and for that, you must be dealt with."
I dodge his strike, gasping out in pain as I landed awkwardly on my ankle. "B-But, I... I didn't ask- I only-"
"Your fate was decided the moment your mother laid with that idiot." He raised his Katana above his head, a deadly glare settled into his very soul. "You're a disgrace to the name 'Yukimura'."
"Ren!" We both jump as Naruto's shout cuts through the air. Takashi looks over his shoulder at the blond knucklehead. "Don't listen to this asshole! You're way stronger than he is! Now show him what you got!" He slammed his fist against the metal railing. And soon, everyone joined in. Tears sprung to my eyes as I stared up at them.
"You got this, Ren! He's just a big jerk!" Ino shouted.
"Cha! Get him Ren!" Sakura screamed.
"Don't let him get to you! He's just mad you're better than he is!" I hear Shikamaru shout. I smile to myself and slowly stand on my own two feet, gritting my teeth when my ankle throbbed. I untied my headband from around my waist and stared down at it before tying it around my forehead.
Takashi snorted a little. "What idiots, and to think they actually have faith in a loser like you." He sneered, turning back to me.
"I may not be worthy to be head of the clan, but none of that matters to me. I don't really have a dream, or hobbies, or any special attributes to begin with. But when someone disses on my friends, thats when I get a little angry." I state, smiling when water starts rising from the tile behind me. His eyes widen as the water coats my skin and slinks up my arms and onto my face. "I don't care if you are my cousin, or brother, or whatever you are. I'll still crush you for mocking me and my friends."
