Konoha's New Prodigy: A New Path

26

"How did they find us?!" Shinki said as we suddenly fell on the ground. Shinki's room exploded and the walls were on fire.

The whole village was on fire.

"They're attacking us?!?" I said in shock as Shinki got me up and started running away to find the exit. "Shinki who are they?!"

"We have to go Hima. There's no time!"

"Just tell me!" I said as I looked with my Byakugan how some guards from the palace started fighting the invaders. They were shinobis....rogue ones fighting the palace members.

Then I saw how the citizens started crying and yelling in panic while they were captured or killed by them. I realized that this is what mom and dad were protecting me of, but somehow I felt that I couldn't just run away and leave them behind.

The running didn't last long because suddenly we were surrounded by rogue ninjas. "There she is!" One of them said.

"I knew you were hiding her, Kazekage-sama" another added. "Give her to us and maybe we'll spare your life!"

"Never!" He replied in rage as we all got immerse in a huge battle. Shinki tried to use his iron sand but the fire smell started to had an effect in him. Making him gasped for air.

Then they outnumbered us.

I tried to defend myself too, using my rotation but the fog was too dense and I could barely breathe. Then I fel how two pair of arms managed to grab me against my will.

"Our Lord will be pleased when we show him this." One of the men said.

****

"This is ridiculous! You can't invade us based on a mere rumor." Said Konan as he tried to break free.

"The executive order gives everyone the right we need to do this." Said one of the once Konoha's elders council members. "One of your men gave us the clue we needed to enter the land without being affected by the jutsu. Too bad he never got the chance to see the outcome for this."

Shion glared at him but also contained her posture. "This will not go unpunished, I promise!"

"Save it for when we make sure the fugitive's not here." He replied as the group of guards entered the hall, carrying two bodies.

"My lord, we have the girl. She was trying to run away with the Kazekage." He said as the elder grinned.

"Well looks like someone else is about to be punished." He said as he managed to punch Shion in her stomach, making young Konan try to reach her in vain.

"You will pay for this!" He said as he noticed how weak Shion has gotten due to her age. However, she managed to get up.

"Let her go." I said while getting the attention of the old man. He reached to me and pulled my head up. "They're innocents. You just want me for my power, nothing more."

"Heh, and leave this act of treason go unpunished? This village disobeyed the executive order 666! The new alliance will never allow this to slip away!"

"You know that I'm the one in control here right?" I smirked. "You have me captured just because I let you. My power is too strong for you to compete with. And if I really wanted to, I would've killed you ages ago."

"W-What are you doing?" Shinki murmured as he tried to make me reason.

"That's what we thought about your father. But guess what? He died in the most lazy way possible. Along with his stupid wife!" He said with a laugh.

"You know I am right. I am a monster no village wants to mess with. Why would any village help a girl like me knowing all my past? Because I made them. They were obliged to take care of me."

The old man looked at me for a second. Then he turned to Shion-sama and approached her. "Someone like you cannot lie due to her oath. Why you defended her when we could help you get free from her?"

"Like she said....her power is currently unmatched..." she said in pain.

"There you go...Now let all this people go, and I'll go with you." I said.

"And what about him? He has people that follow his rules..."

"Do whatever you want." I said as the elder man looked at me for a while...

"You're a good diplomat, just like your father. But don't worry, you'll join him soon...." he said with an evil smile.
