Prologue

"Kukuku! It's been a long time, Kiyohime-chan."

"Long time no see, Orochimaru-sensei."

In an unknown location, Orochimaru and Kiyohime met up.

Kiyohime is the little sister of Tsunade, and was Orochimaru's student along with her fraternal twin, Nawaki.

Despite warning Nawaki several times, the one time she wasn't with him on the battlefield due to getting injured, he had gone and blown himself up by jumping into a paper bomb.

Even with her knowledge of the plot, she couldn't control that idiot from dying.

From then on, she also started dreaming about becoming immortal and was willing to use unethical ways to increase her power as well.

She hid her experiments for a long time, but after Orochimaru-sensei was discovered six months after the Kyuubi attack, she escaped as well with one of her student, Konan, who she had picked up during the Second Shinobi War.

For 12 years, she wasn't seen by anyone ordinary, busy in something that not even Orochimaru knows.

She still met up with Orochimaru from time to time, but didn't really share her plans and whereabouts.

But now, she has come to meet him just as he has been planning to attack Konoha during the Chunin Exam.

"You have changed bodies, sensei? I can't feel my Flying Thunder God mark on you."

While she wasn't really that proficient with the jutsu, even like Tobirama, she did manage to perform it by using two shadow clones to help her. Just like Minato's bodyguards.

Orochimaru smirked. While he didn't believe that Kiyohime will ever try to kill him, he didn't really want to give her an advantage over him.

"What do you really want, Kiyohime-chan? Wait, let me guess. Since you are 37 years old now, perhaps, you also want a new body?"

"Yes."

As she admitted it, the atmosphere between then chilled suddenly. While Konan, who was accompanying Kiyohime didn't have any worry, Kabuto prepared for a battle.

"No. Sasuke is not my target. You can have him. I will never want a male body. I want Hinata Hyuga and her Byakugan. I heard that she is quite cute."

The tense atmosphere disappeared, and Orochimaru was puzzled by this.

"You don't want the body of Sasuke? You don't want Sharingan?"

He couldn't understand why she will want Byakugan over Sharingan. Was it just because Hinata is female, while Sasuke is male?

"I guess you are still concerned about things like beauty."

"Of course. Unlike you, I don't want to learn all jutsus. I just want to be immortal."

"Kukuku!"

Orochimaru chuckled at that. Hasn't Kiyohime mastered more forbidden jutsus than him?

Right now, if they sparred, Kiyohime will undoubtedly win. She has long surpassed him in strength. Well, she can't really kill him though.

Moreover, she has her student, Konan at her side, who is also very powerful, far more than his strongest subordinates like Kimimaro and Kabuto.

"So, you want to kidnap Hinata, and put the blame on your sensei, right?"

"Yes."

"What will I get in return?"

As rogue ninjas, their relationship has become more like partners than student and teacher. He can't just teach her everything he worked on like previously.

The Curse Mark and Living Corpse Reincarnation jutsus that he taught her were just compensation for not being able to protect Nawaki on the battlefield. And well, she has also helped him in those research.

Since Orochimaru is going to attack the village anyway, taking the blame of kidnapping a useless Hyuga isn't a big deal. But he won't do it for free.

She took out a scroll, and tossed it to him.

"The truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre. I am sure it will help you in taking over Sasuke's body."

Orochimaru looked at the information. He was sure that Itachi alone didn't massacre the Uchiha clan, and atleast had the help of Danzo. But, he didn't know the exact details.

But, there was a shocking information that he didn't know.

Shisui was killed by Danzo, and a man claiming to be Madara Uchiha, had some Uchihas under control, who pushed the Uchiha clan to coup. Their plan was to release the Nine tails to have Hiruzen sacrifice himself, while they would take advantage of the confusion and kill his advisors.

"So it seems that this 'Madara Uchiha' was the one responsible for the Kyuubi attack 12 years ago. And the Uchiha clan was relying on the hope that Itachi will use his Mangekyo Sharingan to control Kyuubi. But Itachi killed them all instead."

Orochimaru grew a bit more cautious. Afterall, there is another Uchiha with a Mangekyo Sharingan running around, and his power might be equal, or more than Itachi.

"Alright. I am going to infiltrate Konoha during the second stage of Chunin Exam. Kidnap that Hyuga yourself, and I will take the blame. If you get detected though, that isn't my problem."

"Thank you, Sensei."

Orochimaru eyed her.

"You had spies in the Uchiha clan huh. Do you have some Uchihas in your care?"

Having spies in clans like Uchiha and Hyuga is very difficult. And with her Flying Thunder God, she must have smuggled atleast some kids away.

No. If that was the case, she won't be going after an untalented Hyuga.

Kiyohime shrugged, not answering Orochimaru's question, knowing that he has arrived at his own conclusion.

"Do you want to crush Konoha?"

"I don't care about Konoha."

She immediately denied Orochimaru's proposal to attack Konoha. She doesn't want to attract a target at her back. She already has the highest bounty for a rogue ninja because she has stolen her own Granduncle's forbidden jutsus. Which should have been a property of the Senju clan.

And unnecessarily killing people without any benefit to her just isn't her thing.

"Has Akatsuki made any contact with you?"

When Orochimaru was a member, he was asked to bring Kiyohime in the organisation as well. Afterall, she has Konan and Kakuzu working for her as well, two S-rank ninjas. Bringing her would have meant getting three S-rank ninjas.

But, capturing tailed beasts would mean that she will have to kill Kushina's son, and make an enemy of the whole world. Knowing her personality to avoid useless trouble, and that she was quite close to Kushina, she will never join Akatsuki, unless someone powerful like Pain comes to force her.

"Not till now."

"Be careful if Pain approaches you. He is really strong, and has the Rinnegan."

"Yes sensei. So, let's meet at the Chunin Exams. And, don't attack Shadow village's ninjas. It is my village."

"Oh? So you have created a village? Don't attack Suna and Sound ninjas. They are a part of my plan."

"Alright. I will be going now, Orochimaru-sensei."

"Hmm. Bye."

Both parties started left the meeting spot.

And then, Kiyohime created three Shadow Clones, and teleported herself and Konan back to her village. While she can't use Flying Thunder God as good as Tobirama, it is still very useful.

Back at her village, Kagegakure, or simply Shadow Village, Guren was waiting for her so that she can depart for Konoha with her team.

"Sakura, Karin, Haku. Perform well in the Chunin Exam. Guren, make sure that they remain safe."

"Yes, Kage-sama. We will not disappoint you."

With this, Kiyohime's village's team left for Konoha. As for Kiyohime, she will directly arrive in the Forest of Death at the right time.

Tenseigan, and the whole moon, will soon be her soon.
