Hitomi Uzumaki, the fiery 13 year old with flowing red hair to match her hot temper. Hitomi had been training on the beach all day meditating mostly and yet again today she had been ejected from her mindscape a blade sheathe in her hand that soon disintegrated just like every other she had managed to drag out after hours of trying to make her soul swords.

Anger boiling in her veins Hitomi ran straight to the nearest tree and with strength other ten year olds could only imagine disintegrated a tree with a deafening blow. The sound being so loud scared many birds that quickly flew away from the surrounding area. Hitomi's fist, bloody and exuding chakra, still shaking. This is the third time that woman with white eyes had forcefully ejected her for doing something her true self didn't want her to. Her mother had told her she would be ready to achieve her soul sword by being true to herself she had followed her mother's word done everything she could but every time the woman would forcefully eject her she didn't understand.

Once more she got into a meditation position and as she had done for the past five months since being field promoted to the status of Genin by the hokage she once again drew on her inner world.

Hitomi's Mindscape

Standing before Hitomi was a woman in a flowing white kimono eyes glowing an ethereal white. "I stand before you young mistress who are you what do you seek?" Asked the ethereal being a shining blade of the white snow behind her seals of red engraved in it flowing behind the woman in white somehow apart of the woman but separate.

The blade called to Hitomi she stepped forward toward it wanting to hold it to make it whole. It sang to her touched her soul promising to make herself whole but before she could reach it the woman in white was in front of her radiating an intimidating power, her white eyes glowing brighter than before.

"You have not answered my questions yet young mistress I cannot let you continue till you answer my questions first." Said the woman she smiled an almost monstrous smile her teeth as sharp as if made from shards of the blade she stood in front of her.

Hitomi looked closer at the woman she moved like the ocean no movement spared every was a fluid like movement yet her hair it danced erratically like if she touched it she would be electrified.

Hitomi took a deep breath looked at the woman straight in the eyes not backing down from her intimidating stare.

"I am Hitomi Uzumaki heiress to the powerful clan that is bonded with the sea. I fight for the weak and the powerless." Stated the young Uzumaki.

"I seek strength to fight my opponents to defend myself and purge evil from those possessed to make my enemy fear me and flee from me in terror." Spoke Hitomi a blood thirsty grin on her face she had dealt with the first test already a katana sheath in her hand.

"I will ask you once more who are you?" Stated the woman with glowing eye hear head tilted sideways staring at the girl.

"I told you who I am where I come from what more do you wish of me?" Asked Hitomi confusion clearly written all over her face.

The woman frowned while looking at the young girl in front of her. "It seems you still do not truly understand your trueself I am disappointed. You answer out of anger out of rash emotions and you are not worthy of your trueself's power be gone child." Spoke the ethereal woman.

Hitomi grew angry and rushed at the woman anger coursing through her vain adrenaline pumping through her whole body but as soon as it had started it ended in an instance.

Hitomi was sent flying back as the woman drove a fist sparking with electricity straight into her stomach her mouth opening in a silent scream as the fist sent volt after volt of electricity into her a small line of blood falling from her lips.

Suddenly a strong blast of wind and sparks of white electric flew from the body of the woman and slammed against Hitomi sending her flying out of her mind.

Back in the Real World

She could still feel the paralyzing electricity coursing through her body causing her body to stiffen and protest every movement she made. As feeling came back to her body she touched her face finding the blood that had trickle from her mouth still there as she wiped it away. After this recent failure she became tired, angry, and even mad at the woman that dared dangle the power to free her of this curse to free him of that curse in front of her face. She needed a blade strong enough to purge the evil with in him. She needed to save the soul of the person she cherished most. Every time she asked for the power to end his suffering to rid her of this curse of self-loathing. Yet at every turn that woman with her flowing kimono her glowing eyes pierced through her soul to the very core of who she was. Still not worthy was always the answer she got.

"Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy, Not Worthy" Words ringing in her mind as she drew her fist back and struck the ground hard a small crater formed her fist stuck in the ground at the bottom of the crater.

She removed her hand from the ground and ran at a tree at the edge of a beach, drawing a wooden katana from her waist and disappearing from view, only to appear in front of the tree, her blade blurring around the tree passing through it as she made nothing but shadows. Suddenly her katana shattered to nothing in her hand and the tree blasted apart as the damage from the now shattered blade showed itself.

She went back to the beach and walked into the water feeling it wash over her small frame. She extended her hand and willed it to move around as the fish and creatures of the sea floated around her, as she walked on the sandy floor of the ocean. The water passing around her and touching her, only if she willed it. Her chakra was one with the sea and sky. Every time she walked on the sand of the ocean she felt alive. She could feel the life force of those around her, of the creatures around her. She then let go of her hold on the water and floated to the top of it before standing on top of it.

As the life of the sea danced below her feet, she let peace come over her. This is what she lived for, this feeling of peace, and she sat on the wave, pulling the water around her. Feeling peace as the water obeyed her command as if it lived and followed her command of its own free will.

"Having fun are we my little Hitomi?" Questioned Kushina, with a smirk on her face, as she looked at her daughter sitting on top of the sea, reminding the older woman of a younger version of herself. As the shock caused her daughter to lose control of her water, as it drenched her. She often found herself at home near the sea, near water, Kushina laughed as her daughter gave her a withering glare now that she was soaked.

Hitomi sent a large stream of water at Kushina. Kushina merely blurred out of vision and reappeared a few feet away from the water.

"Ara Ara Hitomi! Why so angry? Dattabane." Said Kushina her verbal tick showing itself.

"You know why. Every day, for five months, that damn woman has interfered, for five months. I've been stuck talking to her and every time I get the same result, and if I try to fight her she deals blows so strong they appear in the real world dattabamara." Spoke Hitomi her own verbal tick making itself known.

"I told you Hitomi, that your blade may be hard to acquire. I remember it took me a long time before I was able to obtain my own, unlike you, I didn't go everyday though." Said Kushina, with a soft look falling upon her daughter.

Kushina walked out onto the water and held her daughter, close as tears fell from Hitomi's eyes. Kushina knew that she was pushing Hitomi hard, harder than any normal child should be pushed. Day in, day out, her daughter trained. Kushina knew Hitomi was a born fighter but she also knew how blood thirsty the ninja world was and this was her job to prepare her for what was to come.

Kushina soon found her daughter breathing deeply in her arms. She had fallen asleep. The adrenaline having left her body and all the mental and physical exertion finally taking its toll on the young girls body. Kushina lifted her daughter up and took her home. The sun now setting.

Kushina looked down at her daughter with a sad smile as she laid Hitomi in bed and went out to then see the drawing of her sword, staring at it and flew into her training as water danced around her a fighter trained. Kushina knew Hitomi's dream.

Hitomi's Dream/Flashback

Thunder boomed and lightening flashed in the back ground a storm raged in the Village of Konoha. In the Uzumaki compound a girl of five shivering and frightened hide under her blanket fearing the shadows and monsters outside making these noises that shook the glass windows and rattle the ground. The terrified girl gathered her courage and putting on a brave face she made her way to her bedroom door into the compound the brave little girl ran for her brothers room she would be safe there her big brother would protect her from the nightmares and the storm. She ran into his room and shook her brother awake.

"Big brother, big brother I'm scared can I sleep with you tonight please big brother?" Asked the scared little girl now clutching to her brothers sleeve as another bolt of lightning and boom of thunder made her jump and squeak.

"Little sister it's late why are you here?" Asked a dazed, spikey hired blonde child with three whisker marks on his face as he rubbed his eyes. Seeing the obvious fear on his little sister face he opened the cover and gestured for her to get in bed whenever Hitomi had a nightmare or something scared her she went to her brothers room and Naruto knew what his sister wanted and as the kind and protective older brother he was he was there for her.

Hitomi climbed into Naruto bed and held on to him as the storm raged on outside the cold water beating against the window wind howling outside.

"Little sister why don't you ever go to mom for this? That's where normal kids, go not to their twin brother." Asked the young boy.

"Because mommy isn't big brother." Stated the little girl as if that was all the info that needed to be said as she snuggled into him closer and he stroked her hair. "I love you big brother." spoke the red headed little girl as she slowly drift to sleep holding her brother close to her.

"I love you to little sister." Whispered Naruto as he drift to sleep his mother had been growing distant lately at least he had Hitomi, still thought about the week before their sixth birthday.

Kushina Uzumaki

To Kushina Uzumaki

As of this week your training trip has come to an end we are recalling Kushina Uzumaki and Genin Hitomi Uzumaki to Konoha to attend the Chunin Exams. You will report to the Hokage upon entering Konoha as there is a matter of great importance to discuss.

Signed

Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi

Kushina looked over the note, expecting to see something about Naruto on the letter. But as she looked it over once more, she decided she would see her son soon enough. As the red eyes flashed twice before they seemed to shatter, and her violet eyes widened, her tears streamed down her face as realization hit here as the true event unfolded in those eyes, as what she saw, how she acted, came crashing into her like a brick wall. What had she done to her son?

The headaches, the strange feelings of guilt, hit her like a ton of bricks: She was being manipulated. What's worse, is she knew now that Naruto had been left to fend on his own. There was no Jiraiya, there was no Kakashi, at the Gates with her son. Only a boy standing at the gate, with no smile on his face, nothing but tears streaming down his face, as he watched the only family he had walked away.

She had separated her children out of a reason that didn't make since, after Naruto and Hitomi's fifth birthday, her will was clouded, making it hard to focus on anything in particular until she and Hitomi had left the village after their sixth birthday. Trying to piece together what little info she could, she looked back on what remained. What she remembered did not bode well for her. She was dismissed downright negligent as a parent to Naruto.

Something was wrong, and only now had she truly seen what was gone, how could she be so blind: The headaches, the clouded mind; she was being influence by something powerful, but what she did not know. The last things she remembered was talking to Hiruzen, leaving to home, then everything became blurry. Voices she couldn't understand, distinguish, or even clearly hear, swam through her head.

She grabbed the hilt of her sword, and for the first time in seven years, she heard it speak. "Vow breaker, Unworthy wielder, False speaker, Betrayer, you are not my wielder and have tarnished our name."

"Betsumaya, I know, I know." Cried Kushina, as she crumbled within.

"You can hear me. Once more has my true wielder come back. Has she finally heard me?" Spoke the blade as it hummed in Kushina's hand.

"Yes, I have and I think it's time we right the wrong that's been done to us." Spoke Kushina, as she started to pack her things. It was time Konoha answered to the Bloody Whirlpool Queen.
