WARNING: CERTAIN SCENES MAY COTAIN GORY MATERIAL
The Small village of Apple Trees was a very peaceful and cultural village. It was situated in the middle of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
The villagers residing here all knew each other and were like one big happy family. Among these villagers lived a family of five.
Junpei Takigawa and his wife Izumi Takigawa. They lived with their three children Atsuko who was fifteen years old, Akio who was thirteen and Akane who was seven.
They were an extremely happy family. Junpei used to work as head of the outside world communication department sending lots of messages to important people in the neighboring land. Though they were rich they preferred to live simply in an average size house with all the basic and a little extra needs of the children and his wife.
Izumi would remain at home to accompany Akane when she came home from the academy and to cook delicious meals for her family and some other villagers who would sometimes stop by to chat.
The three siblings loved each other as well and always stood up for each other when they got into trouble or had any problems. So one such ordinary day….
"Here Akio, catch" said Atsuko throwing a ball at her eleven year old brother.
The ball soared above his head and flew into the house with a bang.
"Hey no fair, you're so tall and on top of that your throwing it high" complained Akio running to fetch the ball.
"Ha, ha, maybe you should play with stilts now Akio nii-chan" hooted Akane from the side.
"Why you little …" said Akio charging towards Akane when a green barrier formed between the two of them throwing Akio back.
"Drat you always do that" said Akio rubbing his head.
"Gomen, gomen (sorry), I can't control it" said Akane running to help her brother up.
"Now Akane what have I told you about using your ninjutsu against you siblings" said Izumi coming up.
"It's not ninjutsu honey get your facts correct, the barrier jutsu is a special branch of the ninjutsu known as Barrier Art" said Junpei ruffling his youngest child's head.
"Oh you ninja's keep your jutsu's to yourself" said Izumi being the only non-ninja in the household.
"Mommy, see what Daisu-sensei taught me yesterday" said Akio performing a clone jutsu.
"Oh no, so that means bearing two of you?" asked Izumi playfully.
"Ha, ha, we get to eat more, and nobody can beat us at the academy now, I'll become the strongest ninja there and I will someday become the leader of our village" said Akio puffing his chest out proudly.
"And I'm sure you will but remember one thing always children, always keep smiling, for the pain you may face in your future lives may be extreme, a smile will be the easiest way out of it, a smile helps lessen the pain" said Junpei looking at his three children.
Atsuko, so calm and collected, had the potential to be a wonderful ninja in the future as did Akio. But there was no doubt about Akane who would surely some day be called great.
"I hope to live to see those days, when my little kids will be all grown up and in the world" thought Junpei as they all moved in for lunch.
"Hokage-Sama, we have confirmed the suspicion the rebels from the Hidden Villages of Sand, Mist, Earth and Waterfalls are now hiding somewhere in the small villages between the fire and wind country" said an Anbu captain kneeling before the Hokage.
"Are you sure? It seems highly improbable that the rebels would unite, from where does this information come from?" asked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"From Danzou-Sama and the Fire Daimyo" said the Anbu captain.
"Hmm from Danzou?"Thought Hiruzen.
"Ok, I don't want you to take any action till I have spoken privately with Danzou, tell him to meet me whenever possible between now and three" said Hiruzen.
"Right away Hokage-Sama" said the captain disappearing.
"It seems impossible that the rebels would co-operate with each other to achieve their goal, this information has to be false, but how has the Fire Daimyo gotten involved with this?" thought Hiruzen.
After fifteen minutes Danzou knocked on the door and came in.
"You called for me Hiruzen?"He asked.
"Yes, the anbu seems to be under the impression that the rebels have gathered together for an attack on Konoha, do you think this is indeed true?" asked Hiruzen.
"This information comes directly from my best spies and I'm certain that it is true" said Danzou.
"But you will admit won't you that the rebels are hardly the types to unite and how is the fire daimyo involved in this matter?" said Hiruzen.
"Maybe but times change, maybe they realized a better strategy, or maybe they have a leader, as for the fire daimyo, he supports my decision and believes in my abilities Hiruzen, unlike you" said Danzou.
"I don't doubt your abilities Danzou, wait a minute…what do you mean by a leader?" asked Hiruzen frowning.
"Recent activity and large bursts of chakra have been reported to me by the guards near the Village Hidden in Apple Trees" said Danzou.
"But the Village Hidden in Apple Tree's are a peaceful bunch of people, they never involve themselves politics" said Hiruzen.
"Do not be naïve Hiruzen, how much attention have we given the Village since Tobirama Sensei became the second Hokage? Absolutely zero, yes we send supplies to them but except for that we have absolutely no connection to that village, if it were not for my spies then what goes on in that village would remain a mystery forever, till it was too late to do anything at all about it" said Danzou.
"I think not, I have maintained a good relationship with the Head of the Village, he is a sensible and peaceful man, I find it very hard to believe that he would help rebels against Konoha" said Hiruzen.
" We have the proof, I have captured a villager of the village and she say's many shady strangers lurk around that village all day long, you can come over and question her if you like" said Danzou.
" Danzou while I appreciate all the effort you are putting I must ask you to stop abducting people to serve your own means, think about other people's terror for a change" said Hiruzen.
"I have felt and known terror Hiruzen, I shall continue to do so, Konoha was, is and always will be my top priority, and I don't care what I have to sacrifice for it" said Danzou turning walking shuffling away.
After the questioning of a woman brought from the Village of Apple Tree's it seemed clear that the rebels had gathered there.
However the Hokage was still unwilling to send the Anbu to investigate so secretly Danzou held a meeting with all members of the Root.
" Listen, we have received due confirmation the rebels are now gathered in the Village Hidden in the Apple Trees, the Hokage disbelieves us and is not taking any appropriate action so it is up to us to do it" said Danzou.
"What are your orders Danzou-Sama, we will obey every whim" replied the root leader.
"I want you all to visit the village and kill everyone there, not a child or a beast should be spared" ordered Danzou.
The root members nodded but the captain asked Danzou.
"My lord what is the need to murder the women and children? They are not fit to be rebels"
" The actual rebels could be anyone in the village, while it is most probably not the children there is no reason to be unsure, I have given my orders, complete annihilation of everyone living in the Village Hidden in Apple Trees" said Danzou.
"Whatever Danzou-Sama wishes" said the root captain as all the other members saluted.
The night was quiet in the Village Hidden in Apple Trees.
The snow was falling lightly from the sky and air seemed to issue a warning of a bad omen.
Hideki the Leader of the Village sat quietly in front of his desk watching his wife and children play a broad game before going to bed.
"Daddy you come and play too" laughed his younger daughter.
"No sweetie, daddy sucks at this right?" he answered back smiling at her.
"Yeah Daddy looses every time we play" joked his eldest son.
Just then Hideki sensed something strange. A large number of unknown chakra signatures were coming towards the village.
"Wait here sweetie; don't go out of the house ok?"Asked Hideki moving out.
He went out and felt the presences coming even closer.
Suddenly a blade was plunged through his heart.
"What? Who?" he cried as he fell.
"Honey what's wrong?' asked his wife coming out.
As soon as she had the time to register her husband's situation a blade was passed through her head and pulled down slicing her head into two.
"Spread out all over the village, kill every person you see, no need to spare anyone" ordered the Anbu Root Leader.
"Hurry Izumi, get the kids we're leaving" said Junpei.
"Leaving? Why are we leaving what's the rush?" asked his wife.
"Just do what I say, the village is under attack no one else is alive, we have to leave before they find us" said Junpei as his wife rushed upstairs to get eh children.
She explained briefly to them that the village was being plundered and they had to leave as fast as possible.
"Hurry up, we have to move fast" said Junpei as they all loaded onto a cart drawn by three horses.
"Yeahh" he said jerking the reigns, the horses neighed and began moving.
Soon they were galloping out of the village but the snow made it slightly difficult for the horses to move as fast as they normally would.
"They're gaining on us, I have to save Izumi and the children" thought Junpei.
He stopped the carriage and covered his children with a white cloth, and then he took them to a huge mound of snow and used his chakra to scoop out a large hole.
"Get in there quick" he ordered as Atsuko, Akio and Akane tumbled in trembling from fright and cold.
"Honey what about you?" asked his wife.
"I have to move on, I have to take them away from this spot" said Junpei.
"But they'll catch you, you'll die, no I can't I won't let you" said his wife.
" I'm sorry honey, I have to do this, for the sake of our children" said Junpei kissing his wife for a last time and pushing her into the mound and then covering it up and hiding a small chakra repressor in the snow.
"Now to throw them off track" thought Junpei getting on the horse and pulling the carriage to the other side which was a gorge leading down to a small river.
He pushed the carriage over and then mounted one of the horses and began galloping away.
"Where are they? Can you sense them?" asked the Anbu captain.
"We didn't bring any sensory type ninja with us sir, but I can sense a faint chakra moving away in the opposite direction" said one of the root members.
"We don't have much time, we must use the teleportation Jutsu" said the captain.
"Yes sir" said the member as five of them locked hands and combined their efforts and using the teleportation Jutsu
Junpei galloped away as fast as he could, "I have to lead them as far away from the kids as possible" he thought when suddenly five figures appeared before him.
"Stop right there, you are arrested for trying to flee the village" said one of the members.
Junpei disappeared and appeared behind him swiftly stabbing him in the vital point causing the man to crumple over.
Immediately he was surrounded by four other men and before he knew it his legs and hands had been cut off.
"You are a jounin level ninja but you don't stand a chance against the Anbu Root, now tell us, do you have an accomplice? Some one you've hidden away?" asked the captain.
"Captain, I found his accomplice" came a voice from behind them.
The captain turned to see a middle aged woman being dragged by her hair.
"Izumi" cried Junpei struggling to move but couldn't.
Seeing her husband like that Izumi screamed and ran to him.
"Junpei, what have these monsters done to you, Junpei" she cried as she stood up, rage controlling her features.
She pounced on one of the men and wrapped her hand around his neck.
A sword pierced her leg as she stumbled to the ground.
"Hey captain, what say we have a little fun with this woman before killing her?" asked one of the men.
"It is above my honor to do such things, I'm going on ahead to report, you do what you like" said the captain disappearing.
"Well now that the captain's gone what should we do with you my pretty little butterfly?" asked one of the men.
Izumi had crawled near her husband and was weeping on his body.
"Hmm, the dudes still alive, pretty stubborn eh?"Asked another member suddenly plunging a sword in straight in his heart.
"Noooooooo you monsters, leave my daddy alone" came the voice of a small child.
The men turned to see three children standing their wrapped in white cloaks with tears streaming down their checks.
"Hey well what'd you know, we've got another little butterfly here" said the man as he grabbed Atsuko's hand roughly.
"Let me go, I'll kill you" cried Atsuko as Akio grabbed the man's hand and gave his fingers a bite.
The man slapped Akio away and crashed his lips roughly on Atsuko.
"Let go of my daughter you beast "cried Izumi grabbing the man's hand and slapping him so hard that he fell to the ground.
"That's it I'm done playing nice, tie up the younger two, let's have some fun with the butterflies" said the man giving a twisted grin.
"Noooo, mommy, Atsuko, noooo" cried Akio watching with tears down his checks and his hands and legs bound.
Akane watched all this with horror, "What were they doing removing mommy and Atsuko's clothing? Why were they grinning and grunting like that? Why did they moan over and over again?" Why isn't anybody stopping this?"
Finally the men dropped the limp bodies of Atsuko and Izumi and pulled up their pants.
One of the men kissed Izumi roughly and then plunged a blade in her stomach.
"Mom, noooo" cried Atsuko weakly.
"Damn you bastards, I'll fucking kill you" cried Akio struggling like a wild animal against his ropes.
One of the men came over to him and slashed his face with a kunai.
Grinning at Akio's intense cried of pain the man turned to Akane.
"You know baby, when your five years older you'd make a delicious thing to have on bed" said the man untying her ropes and running his hands over her.
" What have you done with mommy and daddy, why isn't Atsuko moving, why is Akio crying, you're all bad, you're horrible, I can't forgive you, this is … unforgivable"
With the last word Akane's face glowed and a sharp waves of chakra formed around and blew everyone away.
"You killed mommy, daddy and all the others in the village, you hurt Atsuko and Akio, I'm never going to forgive you" shouted Akane as her features began to change. Her dark hair began turning darker, her violet eyes turned black, her finger nails became longer.
"Hey what the heck is happening, her chakra levels are shooting up at a crazy rate" said the men backing away.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you all" screamed Akane so loudly that the men's eardrums gave aloud throb.
"Damn that bitch, what the heck is she doing? I can't move" cried the men when suddenly a hand grabbed their neck. A scaly hand with green skin, it grabbed his neck and squished hard breaking it and killing the man.
The same happened with every other man there and soon excepting Atsuko, Akio and Akane everybody there was dead.
As the sun rose over the forest the Anbu captain returned to find all his men dead. He stared grimly at the three children. One was unconsciously fallen, one was naked and unconscious, obviously raped and the third was tied, had a slash across his face and was also unconscious.
He saw the body of Izumi lying on top of her husband. All gashed and cut in places. He saw that his men had their throat crushed.
"I must kill these children now" he thought and took out his kunai.
But as he was going to embed the kunai into Akane's heart his hand stopped him.
"I can't, I just can't even though Danzou-Sama has trained me to be unemotional I just can't kill a child who is this vulnerable" thought the man.
He then came to a decision.
"I will take these children and move them away to different parts of the ninja world so they never meet each other again" he thought picking up the three unconscious bodies and disappearing.
Bye guys. See you nest time. Please don't forget to review.
