In a dark void of nothingness, a young red-head was floating amongst limitless space when she heard someone talking into her mind, "You have done many great deeds. You can choose to reincarnate into a high position in the Heavenly Realm with your memories intact. Or is there something else you wish to use your karmic merit for?"

"Can I be reborn as his lover?" The red-head girl asked before sighing.

She thought that if she reincarnated now, she would have to wait 18 years before she would be able to grow up and approach him when the Voice said, "Reincarnation does not work that way child."

The read head sighed again as the Voice continued, "Time holds no meaning for a soul. I can choose a suitable vessel that was born several years before your death and I can even grant you a gift. However, your memories will be sealed, and only when you see him again will they be unlocked."

The young girl nodded her head as she accepted her fate. She then smiled and said, "Don't think you can escape me just yet; Kibo."

. . .

Outside the border to the Land of Fire, the Sound Four Nin that had escaped from Orochimaru's failed plan sat around a campfire, discussing their futures.

"What are we gonna do?" Sakon said with a frown,

"What we always do; survive!" Tayuya said as she poked at the fire.

Jirōbō, and Kidōmaru, sighed as they ate a piece of a boar they had caught earlier; when the group heard a twig snap behind them.

Ukon revealed himself as he appeared from out of the back of Sakon's head. "Kimimaro?"

A teenage boy stepped out from the trees, he a pale skin, vivid green eyes, and his face had many masculine facial features. There were two scarlet dots on his forehead, which all the members of his clan possessed.

He had shoulder-length white hair, which divided down the middle on his head with a distinguishing and atypical 'zigzag' hair parting that separated two separate low-hanging bangs on both sides of his face.

Unlike before his body seemed perfectly healthy and had no signs of sickness.

"Hello everyone it's good to see you." Kimimaro smiled as he showed off his green snake colored eyes.

"Orochimaru?" Tayuya had a sense of dread overcome her as everyone's cursed seals began to activate, causing them all great pain.

They screamed out as Orochimaru used the Chimera on everyone but Tayuya.

For her, he pulled out the left-over energy he stored in her curse mark.

A large quantity of scaly organic material surged from out of her curse mark and engulfed Orochimaru before he used the Chimera technique to swallow the snakey-matter whole.

When he was finished, Orochimaru had returned to his original appearance, looked at the weakened Tayuya, and said, "Return to your country. I have no need for someone who doesn't have a Bloodline Mutation."

Tayuya could only cry in horror as Orochimaru left the scene.

. . .

Inside the Hoshi Dojo, little Sachi and Clone Kibo were sparring with wooden swords. The two were using the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū Style since Kibo was passing the art down to his only successor.

Kibo was surprised that his sister was such a quick learner when he stopped their training and said, "Okay, you have the basics down, next I'm going to show you how using your Tengan to master Tai-Jutsu skills."

Kibo threw her two new weapons, Fujin and Raijin Mk.1.

Sachi caught the weapons as Kibo said, "These two blades are yours, when you master the technique I'll make you a sword of your own."

Sachi smiled as she activated her Tengan and viewed the experiences he had when wielding the weapon.

All of the time Kibo spent training in the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū Style and every technique he used surged within her mind.

Sachi then moved into the basic stance mimicking Kibo's style perfectly.

"Good! You are to use every technique until it becomes muscle memories. Your entire body must remember the skill before I begin teaching you the advanced techniques. By doing it this way, you can severely cut training time by a large margin."

Kibo looked over form and nodded his head before shouting "Begin!"

After the day's training session, Kibo walked up to his exhausted sister and placed a necklace that had a circular fist-size Yin-Yang amulet made of spiritual wood gathered from Sunagakure and half of a piece of a dragon and phoenix tear.

This was his A Ranked creation Dragon and Phoenix Amulet; it was capable of increasing the training speed for Chakra growth by 350%.

A great deal stronger than the previous amulets he made.

He also added a Chakra expelling Array to the Clan's land and attached both a complete Dragon and Phoenix Tear to it.

According to Navi the Array that he built using the Uzumaki seals would create a miniature cycle of renewable energy, they would absorb the energy but not all of it. Some will nurture the land and plant life, in return it would feedback into the Chakra Crystals source with a bit of additional energy.

This won't last forever, but with how powerful the powerful Chakra Crystals are and the Array System implemented it should last around 100 years or so.

Honesty Kibo was surprised that the array would last for so long.

After handing his sister a thick scroll of every Jutsu he has complied along with a pouch of Kunai, and Shuriken, he smiled at Sachi while patted her head.

Sachi was so excited as she grabbed Kibo by his neck and hugged him. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek before saying, "Thank you Onii Chan; I love you."

Kibo smiled as he placed her down and watched while she frantically began studying the scroll.

Kibo also gave his mother, father, and grandfather the same reading materials. He also gave them some amulets similar to the one he gave Sachi. It had the same effect, just with different designs.

He then headed to the Hokage's mansion.

Entering Tsunade's office, Kibo made sure he was ready and brought along two Perma-Clones.

"Kibo? It's pretty late, what are doing here?" Tsunade asked while looking over some papers.

Kibo pulled out the Akatsuki rings and began telling her everything about them. After a long conversation, Kibo managed to fill them in on their plan, along with a detailed dossier on every one of their abilities.

"I intend to impersonate the two members of the Akatsuki that I killed."

The two clones used a Transformation Jutsu and turned into Kisame and Gengo.

"I'll shelter the Tailed Beast Hosts they send us to target and send you information when they intend to capture the others outside my reach."

Tsunade looked at Kibo and sighed before asking "How long are you planning on leaving the village?"

Kibo waited as a third Clone finally appeared, this one was wearing an Anbu uniform and had a half Phoenix and Dragon mask on. "This Clone will stay in the village so it can relay information to you, but other than him Kibo should be considered as a missing Nin. I won't interfere with the village for a while; I intend to stay gone for at least 3 years or so."

Tsunade looked at Kibo with a sad expression as she spoke, "It doesn't have to be you. We can train someone else to go in your place."

Kibo shook his head and said, "No it has to be me, besides I need to get away for a while, need to clear my head."

Tsunade thought of the Uzumaki who died in the report on Orochimaru's siege of Konohagakure

Knowing that it must be eating him up inside, she walked over to Kibo and gave him a hug before saying, "I understand. It's painful here isn't it?"

Kibo nodded his head in confirmation. Although he's been putting on a brave face, the pain of losing Karin was eating him up inside, and staying here only reminded him of her.

Apparently, Tsunade understood, as she too ran away for similar reasons.

Kibo sighed as Tsunade released him. He then looked her in the eyes and said, "Well let's begin Mission Infiltrate the Akatsuki!"

[Spy Mission: Thwart the Akatsuki's plans and save all Tailed Beast Hosts, and successfully invite them to become Immortal Clansmen. Reward: Star Chamber Creation Manual."
