The girl who hides her feelings under a mask.

***

Night Konoha, time around midnight, on a rock with the image of the 7th Hokage sat a young guy with watercolor hair, he held a snake near his lips and said something, the snake apparently served as a source of communication. -So you say you have a suspect, Mitsuki-kun? The voice came from the snake that the guy was holding in his sleeve. -Yes, Lord Orochimaru. This is a classmate of my sun, the head of the school Kakei Sumire. -Do you know anything about her? [Mitsuki heard the sounds of buttons being pressed, he knew that Orochimaru had a whole base on the people of Konoha, when suddenly.] -She doesn’t exist, not a single mention of her birth in the village, nor of the surname “Kakei” in the database, are you sure Mitsuki? -Absolutely, Lord Orochimaru, she has violet hair and eyes of the same color. -Are you talking about violets? Hmm.. I think I knew a woman similar to your description, where did I see her?.. [After 10 seconds, the Snake Sanin’s answer did not take long to arrive.] -Wait a second, I think I remember. -The time when I visited the root, it was the moment when I transplanted sharingans for Danzo, there was also another project related to the power of God, I heard that this power can steal chakra from people for some purpose, but I don’t know exactly for what, the root was not willing to share its secrets with me. Orochimaru was lost in memories.

Secret hideout of the root, dated about 14 years ago. The snake sanin approached the tree and put his hand on it, saying: -Open up! Suddenly, a passage appeared in the tree, it was a staircase down, the sanin began to descend deeper into it, it was a dungeon, about 4 floors underground. He went down until he came across an iron door at the very end of the stairs, suddenly a voice from behind the door asked: -Who is there? The answer did not take long to arrive. -What do you think? The door opened, revealing a masked Root shinobi standing behind it. -Come along Lord Orochimaru, Mr. Danzo is waiting for you, you need to go forward, then to the left, then to the right, go down, then right again, into the 3rd room. Sanin did just that, when he began to approach, the door suddenly opened and he entered it. Inside the room, Danzo was sitting on the sofa. -Long time no see, Lord Orochimaru. [Danzo greeted him; on the table next to the sofa where Danzo was sitting there was a jar filled with water with sharingans.] -I got what you need, Lord Orochimaru, so I offer an exchange. -These sharingans, each of them has the power of izanagi, which change reality to whatever I wish, implant them in my hand, and then I will give you what you have been looking for for a long time, this knowledge will help you with the cursed seal technique.. -I need strength to lead the village, one day Tsunade Senju will lose the village due to her weakness and then I will become Hokage. -But first I need to become stronger. -Also for this, I ask for a guarantee that you will not try to destroy Konoha. [The snake smiled contentedly, because he had long been looking for what Danzo found in order to completely take over the Uchiha’s body, this technique will significantly improve his cursed seal technique and then he will be able to live in the Uchiha’s body for as long as Sasuke himself is supposed to live, he wanted to answer Danzo, but suddenly a member of the root came into the office with some boy, about 13 years old, his eyes were empty, he did not speak.] -Mr. Danzo everything is ready for the first test of the power of God, we are waiting for you and Dr. Tanuki to the ghost control test... -GHA! [Suddenly, a kunai pierced the shinobi's throat and he fell to the floor bleeding] -Fool! First look and then speak, there will be science for idiots. At that moment, Orochimaru looked at the boy who stood there emotionlessly and silently, as if nothing had happened, the blood of the killed shinobi flowed to his bare feet, and now he was standing in a pool of blood, not reacting to anything. -Who is that boy? The sanin asked with obvious interest: -And what is the power of God with the theft of chakra? -But this no longer concerns you, Lord Orochimaru.

-Lord Orochimaru? Mitsuki's voice brought him back to reality from his thoughts. Orochimaru didn't answer and typed something on the keyboard. -Shigaraki Tanuki, a scientist who worked fundamentally on some kind of technique for Danzo, with similar abilities, and his wife.. -Hakobe Shigaraki, this woman also had violet eyes and hair, very interesting. -It looks like this is their daughter. -Listen to my order Mitsuki, your goal... -Kill Kakei Sumire. -In the meantime, I’ll take care of something. -Got you, Lord Orochimaru, end of communication. After Mitsuki ended the connection, he thought for a moment and then said: -First, I have to prove to Boruto-kun that the headman is a criminal, it seems he is attached to this girl, I’m afraid he won’t forgive me if I do this right now.

Konoha baptism, time around 1.00 am.

In the middle of the ruins of Sumire's house, a black and purple portal opened, a man in a black cloak and mask came out of it, he viciously hit the tree with his fist, leaving a hole in it. -I can’t believe it, the vile Uchiha got ahead of me in search of Kaguya’s scroll, which Danzo Sama hid in another dimension!” I finally found the place where he hid it, but right before I arrived, the scroll was taken by him, and I don’t have the strength to fight him yet, so I just let him take the scroll? Damn him! -We'll have to wait for the moments to return it. -I wonder what Sumire is doing right now? -Ah, sleeping peacefully, after stealing chakra from 2 seedlings. -She was also able to steal chakra from some old man and some woman. I see how it was, very well, she took enough chakra so that Nue could materialize. Suddenly he felt snakes engulf his body. -I didn’t expect that you were able to survive after eliminating the root. -"Wanzo!" [Orochimaru smiled contentedly.] -You didn’t even have a name at birth, you were named after Danzo, as a young vessel, “Young Danzo” that was supposed to take over the memory and will of Danzo in the event of his death in order to continue his work, and thus the Root wanted “Danzo” “He lived endlessly simply by transferring his memory into new vessels, but this idea completely failed, how absurd. Suddenly, the masked man who stood shackled in front of Orochimaru disappeared, and was already behind him, stabbing a kunai into his neck, but the sanin simply turned into a bunch of snakes, and appeared in front of him a few meters away, smiling contentedly, waiting for the battle to begin, but... -You vile snake, I would be glad to get rid of you here and now, but I have more important things to do, I must stay in the shadows... I don’t need extra attention now. -Keep in mind that I am aware of your “child” Mitsuki, it seems, right? Orochimaru attacked him, but he made a hand seal and simply disappeared. At first, Orochimaru thought that he had teleported or simply disappeared, as with the reverse summoning technique, but he noticed how a branch fell from a tree, as if it had been stepped on. -So, what is the power of part of the “power of the Gods”? Very interesting. Sanin licked his lips contentedly.

Sumire Kakei's house, current time 8:00

Sumire was sleeping peacefully, when suddenly she felt a tongue on her cheek, someone was licking her, thereby waking her up, and not fully awake, she began to talk. -Mizuki! Well, that's enough! It's ticklish! Then the realization came that this was not Mizuki, whose kitten she found on the street near the new house where her parents were hiding and she, being very small, made her jump on the bed and press herself against the wall. -Wait, who else is Mizuki?! She disappeared not long before the day of her mother's death... She rubbed her eyes and almost screamed, because sitting on the floor was a creature she had never seen before, a creature with the head of a monkey, the body of a tanuki, the legs of a tiger and a snake instead of a tail. -Eh..What is this?! [Suddenly, a voice appeared in her head and began to explain what Sumire had seen.] -Good morning, my little saboteur. -Don’t be scared, it’s Nue. -You managed to fill the gozu tenno enough for it to materialize, I’m pleased with your work, Sumire. -So this is Nue? [She looked at him, he sat next to the bed like a kitten, he looked at “mother” and said as if meowing three times -Nue, nue nue! [He seemed pleased and happy to see his “mother”] This touched Sumire, and so she got down from the bed and even stroked him, he pressed himself against her leg and began to rub his face against her like a loving kitten, then the master continued the conversation. -Don't get too attached to him when he accumulates chakra.. -You will blow it up, thereby destroying everything around, this is the end of communication. Sumire looked with such sadness at this cute creature, who continued to rub against her leg. She suddenly realized that she had new power. Sumire made a hand seal and Nue disappeared like an animal summoned by the summoning technique. -Master is right, I shouldn’t get attached to what I destroy.. [She answered with an exhalation and sadness.] Sumire waved her hand and noticed that she had created something similar to lightning that shimmered from bottom to top, the lightning was purple in color, she suddenly realized that upon contact, the lightning would strike the enemy with a discharge and steal chakra. -I believe I can set up ambushes with them, they are invisible to the eyes of people, perhaps only Uchiha Sasuke can see them. Then two dark snakes came out of her palms, which were like chains that Sumire could swing in different directions, she accidentally cut the table in half with a blow from one of the snakes. -Crap! What have I done! -However, this is amazing, I feel the strength overwhelm me. Sumire closed her eyes and created a “Dark Violet Eye” with her palm, she noticed that she could see her surroundings with this eye, even with her eyes closed. -But this can be used for espionage purposes! She was pleased with her enhancement. -Perhaps this is how the master is watching me?..

***

Location unknown, a man in a mask and cloak stands on a mountain looking into the distance.

-That's right. -Do you feel the power of the force that will subjugate the whole world to us? Sumire Shigaraki. -No! The whole world is not enough for me, I want to know everything, and everything should be mine. I want to become invulnerable! -I will become God. -After the destruction of Nue, the chakra that he collects will be released with triple, no, with 4 and strength! I will absorb it all without a trace, after which Nue will be reborn, and then Sumire will repeat the same thing in another village, and so on until I become God. -Sumire also possesses a small power of God, well, I don’t mind it, compared to the power of which I will master, it’s a drop in the bucket.

Having quite tested her new powers and abilities, Sumire got dressed and headed to the metro station, entering the train she met her friend Namida, who was sad, she did not notice Sumire because she was lost in her thoughts. -Namida-chan? Sumire carefully placed her hand on her shoulder, which made her shudder and almost scream: -Sumi-chan?! -Why are you so sad? Something happened? [She asked her friend timidly and noticing her sadness. Even noticing her sadness, she did not want to use gozu tenno on her, without understanding why, she simply did not do it.] Namida looked into her eyes and began to cry. -Namida, what’s wrong with you?! -My mom.. -She suddenly fell ill, I woke up and saw her lying on the floor, breathing heavily, all in convulsions, I didn’t know how to help her! I just called the rescuers! -Mom mom.. [Sumire suddenly hugged her friend.] -Calm down, everything will be fine. [She began to calm her friend down, stroking her back with her hand, while thinking.] So that woman, Namida's mother..? The further it goes, the more tragic it all becomes, I... Am I doing the right thing? Namida interrupted her train of thoughts. -This is a new disease.. I saw one old man fall with the same symptoms, but he survived, and mom will live! Namida still spoke with tears. -Yes! [Sumire said with a smile, but at the same time she was sad and even hurt for treating her mother like that, despite the fact that she did the same to someone’s grandfather and father.] She thought that the deeper she plunged into this whirlpool of revenge, the more she harmed the people who had become her friends and relatives. Something needs to be done about this, let at least my friends survive.. It flashed through the young girl’s head. It's 2:30 pm, Sumire was walking alone towards her house, thinking about her thoughts, then she got an idea and contacted the master. -Master. -Oh, Sumire. This is the first time you've contacted me yourself, did something happen? -Master, I need cover, some kind of disguise, can you get it?.. -Disguise you say? Hmm, wait a little. The connection was cut off, and Sumire went to her home, after about an hour a portal opened in her house, from where a man in a cloak and mask came out, this made Sumire wince. -Did you think I would knock on your door? He answered with some sarcasm. -Not at all, master, I’m glad to see you in health. She also answered with some sarcasm. -You and I are connected Sumire, remember that. [Sumire noticed how one eye in his mask glowed violet, then a mysterious man whom Sumire had never seen in person handed her a package] Here, this is what you asked for, he threw the package into her hands. -And further. -You are being watched by Orochimaru's "Son", Mitsuki. -So be careful, Sumire. -Mitsuki..? -Understood. [Sumire answered not surprised, she remembered how he looked at her as if she was to blame for what happened to Magire, even though it was so.]

Time 20.00, Uzumaki family house

Boruto was lying on his bed, thinking about something, when he suddenly shuddered when he caught a glance at himself, it was a silhouette that stood on a nearby building, whose roof was at the level of the 2nd floor of Boruto’s room. The guy ran to the window and saw a silhouette dressed in a rabbit mask and a white cloak, he shouted, sticking his head out the window: -Hey, who are you?! Suddenly the silhouette appeared on the roof of the Uzumaki house. Boruto was seriously scared, dressed in casual clothes, he went up to the roof, where the mysterious man was already waiting for him. -Who are you?! He asked in fear, the answer was not long in coming, the voice was female but muffled by some device, so the young Uzumaki could not identify it. -Soon this village will be destroyed. -She will come very soon, and when this happens... -Just run, you won’t be able to do anything to save her. Boruto was shocked and just listened to the mysterious masked person. Then the girl hiding under the mask took a step into the darkness, and then completely disappeared into the darkness and from the boy’s sight. -Who is she?.. Boruto could only ask a question into the void. -Is Konoha going to be destroyed? Why did she tell me this? -What's happening?! With these words, the young Uzumaki went to his room. A girl in a white raincoat and a rabbit mask was jumping from the roof of one house to another. -1 there, just a couple more left to visit. - Let it be, it’s okay if they survive. -I was told that every resident of Konoha is an enemy, but after living here a little, I understand that this is not so. -I will at least save them! With these words, the girl continued her way into the darkness of the village at night.
