Strings Of Destiny

Need to Move Forward

Both of them had their eyes closed as they prayed and gave their thanks to Naoru for everything she did for them.

"What should we do now?" Naruto asked staring emotionally at the grave while Izumi's hair covered her facial features leaving Naruto unaware of how she looked.

"Find Yotogi...and kill whoever did this" Izumi replied lifting her head up her face was in an angered expression and her Sharingan was fully blazing in anger. Naruto closed his eyes before sighing and then turned towards Izumi.

"Very well..."

Naruto frowned as he dashed through the trees, in front of him was Izumi and he had never seen her move so fast...he could tell she was angry...far angrier than he had ever seen before.

She had not said a word after she had told him of their objective and it was starting to worry him slightly because...this was not who Izumi was...she was not the type of woman who got angry easy or held a grudge and she was certainly not the type to go for revenge...that was him, he was meant to be the angry one out of the two of them.

He just hoped she would calm down when they found Yotogi not that they knew where he was though Izumi seemed to be just following her instincts and head towards the direction of Konoha. Surely once Yotogi explained what had happened Izumi would finally calm down.

The memory of her breaking down and crying appeared in Naruto's head and he narrowed his azure eyes it might not have been Izumi's personality to hold a grudge or go for revenge...but it was certainly his.

Izumi glared while staring in front of her, the rage she was feeling was like none she had ever felt before...a person she valued as important had been tortured, beat and killed and she hadn't even been able to protect Naoru.

Flashback

A thirteen year old Izumi groaned as she opened her eyes...it had been three months since she had left Konoha...since she had killed her family. She had joined the Akatsuki to work as a spy in order to benefit Konoha and really things could be better. Her first partner had tried to kill her...Orochimaru that snake had tried to steal her body however she had put a stop to that the moment he had tried and took his hand as well as trapping him in a powerful Genjutsu.

Her next partner had been just as weird and insane...Kisame what was he exactly a fish, a man possibly both, whatever he was he was indeed a freak of nature...she knew he was strong by his chakra and the way he held himself and he was not afraid to show his ruthlessness by killing innocent people and killing anyone who insulted him.

Hearing the sound of small feet moving Izumi snapped out of her thoughts and looked towards the door in the room she was in...thinking about it she had no idea where she was the last thing she had remember was falling unconscious after killing a bounty hunter in Tsuchi No Kuni she had been having trouble with her health for a while now headaches, coughing up blood and shortage of breath these where the major symptoms she had been having as of late.

Narrowing her eyes at the door she noticed the door had a slight gap and in it was an eye...she could see someone looking at her activating her Sharingan she noticed the chakra surrounding the person watching her...it was like nothing she had ever seen before the chakra coming from the figure was pulsating and white in color.

"Yotogi it's rude to stare go and introduce yourself" Izumi raised an eyebrow at the sound of an old woman...she didn't seem afraid or worried she seemed more mad.

Watching the door open Izumi noticed a small boy walk through into the room she could see that weird chakra pulsating off him behind him walked in an elderly woman with a cane and a weird smile on her face.
