Now in her room, Shinsa rummaged through her bag in search of a chakra scroll she had acquired during the 3rd Great War. Her Squad was camped out in the outskirts of Uzoshiogakure, and the women, being a sensor was the squads scouter. Luckily for her, she was able to enter the ruins, and take three damage scrolls that had more than enough readable information.

'Alright chakra control is the art of.....Jinchuriki's often have trouble controlling their chakra because...tainted...especially when it comes to the heavy malicious Chakra of the Kyuubi...' Shinsa furrowed her brows at the passages she was reading. She couldn't quite comprehend what the scroll was saying, especially when some of the words were burned off.

'My chakra is tainted? How can something so dark still have the ability to be tainted?' Shinsa was already aware of the dark nature she possessed. Since a young age, she had already accepted the fact that she wasn't a good person. Doing things she could never be proud of. Hurting people who were supposed to be her friends.

Snapping out of her thoughts Shinsa focused chakra onto the tips of her fingers, and lightly pressed down into her stomach. The seal, one she was familiar with, glowed orange, and soon faded black. Having been the unofficial caretaker of a certain Jinchuuriki, Shinsa had seen this exact seal, on numerous different ocassions.

'I've seen this often enough to know that a five pronged seal was placed on top. Why would the sage of sixth path purposely place a seal that would only prove to limit my chakra? Well, at least I can remove it since I'm familiar with this particular five pronged seal.' Shinsa narrowed her eyes, and did the required hand signs.

'Release'

....nothing. Nothing happened. The Uchiha's brows furrowed and she repeated the same prices.  Still, no reaction.

"What the-!" Her heart throbbed painfully, and black seal marks quickly burned throughout her entire body. The marks looking like chains wrapped around her. They coiled around her like burning vines digging into her skin, burning her from both inside and out.

The sound of demonic laughter resonating throughout her mind made her growl in anger, and the marks slowly started to fade away once Shinsa had stopped focusing chakra to release the seal. There was. a foreign seal on her body, one the girl was not aware of. Did perhaps the Sage of Sixth path give her a disadvantage, to make things harder for her in this world.

"Heh, heh, heh-!" Against her will, a series of sinister laughter escaped her. Shinsa clutched her head in pain, only now becoming aware of the severity of the situation. The Kyuubi was consuming her, and she couldn't enforce any seal, or release any seal to prevent it. Despite the situation, Shinsa smirked, recalling the dull achenes in her chest that never seemed to leave.

''Because of 'that' the Kyuubi may never get that chance...'

A white haired Kunoichi walked across the deck of a ship, and stopped before a curly haired male with a long nose. The kunoichi crossed her arms, her face unchanging from its usual stoicism.

"Shinsa... You're not going to join everyone in eating?" the sharpshooter hesitantly questioned. There was an awkward silence when the women he spoke to didn't respond to him. Instead she tilted her head to the side, giving him a contemplative look. "S-shinsa?" Usopp gave a startled flinch when the women before him wordlessly began walking closer to him.

Now directly in front of her, Usopp could feel his heart hammering in his chest, his palms sweaty. The aura he was getting from his white haired "comrade" was dangerous. As if he were pray marked by a predator.

Opening his mouth once more to speak, Usopp had the wind completely knocked out from him when a fist found itself lodged in his stomach. The pain was enough to make him puke out acid and saliva. Tears forming in the edge of his eyes.

"kuek-!" he gasped out in pain, and fell harshly onto the ground the moment the Uchiha stepped back.

"You're probably confused as to why this is happening." Shinsa began and looked down on him. Murderous intent leaking from her body. "But, I do recall a certain idiot having the audacity to smack me on the head earlier, when we first were arriving on the island. Fools like you never learn with words." Shinsa began and a disappointed look graced her features. One that seemed to shake Usopp's core even worse than when she glared at him. "Therefore I'll have to now beat it into you. No more warnings anymore." Satisified with the trembling mess before her, Shinsa walked over Usopp, and continued her way to the mast of the crows nest.

'Don't you think you're being awfully cruel to your supposed crew-mates?' hearing the mocking voice of the Kyuubi so clearly irritated the Uchiha.

'You're one to talk.' she was replied back to with only laughter, giving her time to actually think about the Kyuubi's words. Cruel? Of course she couldn't deny the fact that she as a cruel person. Shinsa killed people for a living. She made money off of her the death of her victims. 

'But am I being unnecessarily cruel to them? Is hatred and anger controlling my actions?' She thought about this, recalling her latest interactions. She didn't see herself being 'cruel' to them per se, seeing how she even went out of her way to help them. Something she wouldn't do back in her world. Shinsa had lost far too many people to start treating people carefully. Any person she ever got close to, was used to exploit her.

"Though, they did take me in, and even gave me a place to sleep and food to eat. Maybe I should treat them similar to my fallen comrades." Shinsa's eyes darkened whilst looking down at the crew laughing merrily, and celebrating with the Marines. Even Usopp looked so alive, as if the incident that took place only moments ago didn't happen. "I probably should be more respectful towards them. The least I could do until I'm finally able to leave this world." Shinsa sat down on the window rail, brushing her bangs back with her hands.

"I'll try to enjoy the lack of war and gruesome violence while I can, because once I return home, the endless cycle of hatred and vengeance that has been momentarily put on halt, will resume its coarse
