Akiko Uchiha
D-rank
Akiko had seen drastic shifts in the geology of the land as she traveled from the Land of Wind to the Land of Fire, to the Land of Stone, to the Land of Water and all the minor lands and countries that dotted the map in-between these major lands. The young Chuunin had seen vast deserts that stretched as far as the eye could see give birth to an ancient, thick forest which fell asunder to the eternal rocky cliffs and quarries. But now, Akiko stood in the midst of something entirely new but not altogether foreign to her, the vast marshlands and swamps that grew inside the Land of Water.
During her earliest years of life Akiko lived within Kirigakure no sato, it was where she was born and it had been where her father earned an infamous reputation as a hunter-nin. Akiko knew the tales of her father’s past, he had often regaled her as a young child of his many adventures and travels when she was just a small girl. The bittersweet memories of her father caused a small smirk to appear on Akiko’s face, but as quickly as the expression formed on her lips it vanished. It was the memory of how her father died that caused the young Uchiha to feel the three year old festering infection of hatred once again.
She remembered the day she walked back into her family’s house from completing an overnight mission as a Genin to find her father’s bisected corpse with an accursed Uzumaki standing above him. Uzumaki Trilby gazed down at her dead father, her father’s blood spatter on his chest and bots as it was on the walls of their home. She remembered the remorselessness in his eyes, how little he had cared about the devastation his actions had caused to an Uchiha family, to an Uchiha community. The vivid memory was a cruel reminder of her lust for vengeance which could never be fulfilled as Trilby had perished along with most of the group known as the Shichiouza.
However, the lack of a sole person to place all of her hatred on didn’t quell the ancient Uchiha curse within her; instead it caused the curse to spread throughout her being unchecked. It clouded Akiko’s mind and caused her to see connections that likely never existed when she dwelled on the memory of that fateful day. Internally, she blamed the entirety of the Uzumaki Clan and sincerely believed that it was that clan who plotted in unison the death of her father as well as the slaughter of countless other Uchiha lives. She also placed blame upon Kuroka Gin, Trilby’s wife and at that time the Kazekage; believing that she too knew of Trilby’s plan and did nothing to stop him. Finally, she blamed the few living members of the Shichiouza and believed that they had encouraged Uzumaki Trilby to slaughter her father in the manner he had.
Akiko’s attention was suddenly ripped away from her morbid thoughts as her ears caught the sound of a medium branch breaking midway up a nearby tree. The power born through hatred swirled to life in her eyes as her head snapped towards the tree, her Sharingan cut through the leaves of the tree and allowed her to see the translucent glow of chakra within the branches. The young Uchiha was ready for the worst but she never reached for a weapon, she was not a fool and did not want to appear hostile to any Kirigakure shinobi that might be around and watching her.
“Who goes there?” Akiko shouted up into the tree. “Show yourself!” She barked.
