His eyes, I was mistaken.... He was, no he is... Just like me... I never knew a thing beside the fact that he was a star in Konoha's sky, but he is now, no he's always been in the darkness. Just as I have been. How could I judge so stupidly? It happened to me too... The loss.....I was just a seven year old genin, I was always cheerful, always laughing, always playing around, and always dreaming. Until one day, I lost everything I ever had.Tsuneo's first tragedy was when he was a mere boy of seven years, and as he was returning home to his family. Excited about the praise he'd get once he'd tell them he became a genin. He returned home opened the door and his family surprised him with a big happy birthday to which he started crying and laughing happily. They sat together, smiling, laughing, and eating a cake his mother had baked. That day was almost the best day in his life. Midnight came, and he heard sounds of conflict, and it was true his sister was awake and watching through the door as it was slightly open. He got out of the room in a rush and his sister tried to stop him but failed. His father was shocked and as his eyes widened he went to hug his son and his daughter. Tsuneo's mother did the same thing, and it bothered Tsuneo that she was crying. Tsuneo's father spoke saying his final words to his son "Tsuneo my son, know that I will always be proud of you my son.." His tears began falling as his voice crumbled "I-I am sorry... I will have to leave you for the time being." His father whispered his final words "I love you my son.." His mother spoke as well as she kissed his forehead "Don't forget to brush your teeth you lazy child!" Her voice was crumbling as did Tsuneo's eyes with tears as he spoke"Momy where are you guys going? Please don't go, stay!" She replied with tears falling and a broken smile "We can't.. Now now, who exactly are you? My son Tsuneo is strong he would never cry! Smile my sweet Tsuneo. Tsuneo keep getting stronger, and never stop believing in yourself okay honey?" Tsuneo barely held his tears in his eyes before his father spoke to the man saying "Not here please-" Before he could continue his sentence his head was removed, and as his wife screamed in agony , Tsuneo screamed his lungs out, fear, sadness, despair, and before long his mother's head was removed silencing her screams. Tsuneo cried as he rushed to his mother screaming "Mommy Mommy please please." He kept crying and as the man aimed his blade at Tsuneo's head, his sister dashed towards Tsuneo and ran with him to the other room where she hid him under the bed after hugging him "Tsuneo you were the best little brother I could ask for" were the last words before her head dropped. The man could find no trace of Tsuneo and even though he looked under the bed he saw nothing. His sister had hidden him.Few hours passed the man left, and as the police came they could find nothing but a child crying surrounded with the corpses of his family. Screaming and crying, sad and afraid, angry and alone. Tsuneo would hug the corpses and beg his family to get up and what could he know he was a boy of seven years old. That was the first tragedy to occur to the boy now known as the centipede. He lost his father, mother, and sister. and as the police moved him away he screamed "NO NO WAIT I STILL DIDN'T TELL THEM I DIDN'T TELL THEM I GRADUATED." As he said those words he fell into unconsciousness. He found himself suddenly happy with his mother, father, and sister all alive and well, but that picture broke as he awoke from the dream it was tot he ceiling of a cold hospital alone on the bed of weakness that attested to his weakness, to his idiocy, to his inability that he could do nothing about but cry his eyes and lungs out. Mother...Father... Big sis...I miss you guys.... I wish you guys were with me... I wish I was surrounded with you guys I want to see you...I want to see you all so bad....That was not the only tragedy that occurred to me. I became stronger... I became a chunin, and I grew a little, and I am now fifteen years old... I wanted to become the hokage but... The village had something else in mind for me."your action will be highly valued , and you might reach the hokage position quiet fast if you cooperate with us.""Yes sir I am happy to help."I was then taken into an underground prison where I was forced to live the tragedy of my family over and over, and I kept watching helplessly. They would die over and over and over, and I could do nothing but watch.. "Uzumaki Tsuneo, Uchiha satoru, Senju Kamizaki, your next mission will be your final mission. You are to exterminate the Kurokara clan, Tsuneo is to scout the area, and you two will eliminate everyone. From then on you are to take your lives in order to protect the village from any leakage of secrets. Commence operation "Centipede"." Tsuneo fist bumped his two friends as they moved in the shadows, and a heavy feeling of despair lingered within them as their dreams were crushed. Tsuneo scouted the area, and his two friends murdered everyone of that clan, and he could feel their souls dying as they take each life. Tsuneo saw a boy just like him that day, crying, screaming, and searching, searching for his loved ones not believing they were slain. His friend Satoru saw the boy and moved emotionless to kill, Tsuneo tried to protect the boy however he failed as the Uchiha had already stabbed the boy's heart, angered Tsuneo's switch flipped. A psychological switch placed inside him by the crafty division. Tsuneo had moved, taken the sword, and pierced the Uchiha's heart. His friend smiled as Tsuneo regained his personality
"Heh, with that the hypnosis is gone Tsuneo... Go, live for us Kamizaki is already dead... He died protecting me, and with the life he gave me I'll set you free. Please, live for us..." His friend had fallen to his death at his hands. Tsuneo screamed in agony as tears streamed down his face. He cried his eyes out as he held both of his friends one on his back and the other in his hands. Tsuneo buried the two soldiers, and lit the building on fire, taking the blame, and becoming a rogue.
I am sorry Satoru...Kamizaki... I was still too weak, and I curse my weakness.... He left with the Aoi Bara, and as he lived in the wild he was beaten, hurt, poisoned, and in many times he almost died. Tsuneo was beaten and hurt, and was in a war-zone. Kirigakure's war against seven bells did not help him. During the war he entered the army as a free-lancer. Tsuneo, would participate in the brutal war against seven bells, a war in which he knew how weak he was, and a war in which he killed his very best friend whom he thought was alive...
Had I the power, had I the resolve... You would be alive and well now. You've always stood by my side, and what did I do? Kill you... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.....Am I forced to keep taking the lives of those I love? "I'll save the villagers, all of them.. I am no longer weak!" Is what he convinced himself with before reaching the city full of blood and corpses. He attacked the group of scum otherwise known as seven bells' squadrons. Tsuneo destroy them all except their leader, and to Tsuneo's shock it was his friend, his best friend.. "Souji?!? What the hell are you doing with these scum?!?!" He replied with nothing but the sword. Tsuneo incapable of doing anything but fight back fought back. "You traitor" Tsuneo yelled but his friend replied "Oh yeah? And what are you?" Tsuneo angered spoke "You know nothing about me!" They fought, they clashed, they brawled, and they stopped as one of them fell... Souji finally opened his heart to Tsuneo as Tsuneo murdered him "You were always strong and brave... Never let anything stop you bud!" Pausing as he coughed blood on Tsuneo's face "Please Tsune, Please rescue my sister... My dear best friend" Souji uttered those words as he died with tears falling from his eyes...SCREAM
Tsuneo lost consciousnesses, and with blood covering his face he moved to the second and third group and murdered them as if a monster had been unleashed. "This world, this world... I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING, I WILL KILL EVERTHING, THIS WORLD IS HELL" He screamed as he murdered each and every one of the criminals in the most terrifying of ways. Enraged and with tears in eyes he fell. He fell to his dream world, and as the war went on he awoke in a hospital. Tsuneo's eyes were red from crying, and as he looked at his hands he cursed the world, himself, and seven bells. Tsuneo continued fighting in the front lines, assisting the army camps in every way he possibly could. Before long he became stronger, a special jounin leveled shinobi. He fought with many great shinobi, sustained dangerous injuries over and over. This time however, he cried not a single tear but instead he was numb. His rage for some reason began calming down, but he was full of hatred.
The war had ended, and Tsuneo survived, and as he fought, he grew stronger, faster, and smarter. Tsuneo was growing rapidly, and what helped is his life in the wilderness of Kirigakure. He kept killing traitors, murderers, and anyone daring to threaten the peace of Kirigakure was eliminated. Tsuneo kept this trend for two years, before he was finally caught by a gang of criminals and chained down. "Father" was the name of them man that ordered his capture. One of Bells' elite soldiers. Tsuneo was chained up to a wooden chair. It was then that Tsuneo would forever change. The man would inject a special serum that made Tsuneo's body regenerate anything of his body. They tortured him, plucked off parts of his body cut his fingers, toes hands, legs, arms, and plucked out his eyeballs over and over. Tsuneo was crying from the intense amount of pain he was in. It did not stop there, a venomous centipede was out in his ear. Tsuneo was driven to madness , until he could take no more. On the thirty second day of his torture, the man brought a small girl, her brother, her parents, and gave Tsuneo the decision of letting on live.
The children begged for mercy Tsuneo was reminded of his family "please don't kill us, please don't kill us, please don't kill mommy and daddy." "Please let our children live Tsuneo I beg of you let our children live..." "Haha HURRY PICK, PICK, PICK OR THEY WILL ALL DIE HAHAHA" The crawling sound of the centipede in his ears did not help. Tsuneo feared picking it would mean killing the rest, and he wanted anything but killing another innocent person or one of his loved ones. Tsuneo saw himself as the boy and the rest as his family. The man had murdered them brutally one by one, and as they screamed in terror, pain, and sadness they all died. No please stop..Please don't kill them I beg of you mommy, daddy, dear sister, no please come ba---
Their corpses fell lifeless, and as they hit the ground Tsuneo sunk into despair.
Mother you're here! "Stay away you weakling" she said as the mother loved turned to face him before her head fell and she died.. "I am sorry mother" His father pushed him down before saying "If only you were strong we would be alive.... You, it was you who killed us.." "I'M SORRY" As Tsuneo apologized his father's head dropped and so did his body before Souji his best friend stabs him in the stomach saying "If only you tried to help me" "S-souji I-I..." Tsuneo tried to speak but guilt held him down. Finally his two friends Satoru and Kamizaki merely stared at him before falling down death and as if Tsuneo's extended hand could ever reach them. Tsuneo dropped to his knees wide eyed and broken as the bodies around him crawled to him before covering him and turning into a pitch black ocean that he sunk into. When Tsuneo awoke, his hair was completely white, nails black-purple-ish from the abuse. Buckets filled the room full of his body parts. The smell of his rotting flesh and the flesh of a dead family, along with the now soothing sound of a centipede in his ear. As his torturer returned, Tsuneo broke his chains with unparalleled strength and began the murder spree. He had fought tirelessly and numbly, not feeling the slightest bit of pain before murdering everyone and cannibalizing them. He took out the centipede in his ear crushed it, and became the murderer of murderers the centipede. Crueler, colder, and deadlier. Tsuneo rampaged, and murdered any criminal he sighted.
He would go on missions and lose people in the past, and that is precisely why he now works entirely alone. Tsuneo would fight alone and die alone, or at least that is the path he decided is for him. Tsuneo kept losing people, his brother, the girl he loved Saiyuki, friends he thought he had, and people he rescued they were all murdered, Tsuneo kept walking, each time losing a person. No tears remain in his eyes. He is just tired. Tsuneo regardless kept walking and walking. Sayuki I am sorry, I could not help you, this hell will never leave me. I am forever a weakling, the number of people I've killed surpassed the thousand. Everyday for the past four years I've killed, and after I became stronger I've killed much more. I am just another filthy murderer, and the corpses of the ones I kill, the eyes of those I kill haunt me in every second I live. It won't be too long before I succumb to insanity..... I love you Saiyuki, and I'm sorry... I am so pathetic I never had the courage to say it before. I kept losing the ones i loved, the village that i loved had kicked me out and threw me away like garbage, my friends, my comrades, my lover, and anyone i ever cared about... Even big brother Tsuyo.... They were all dead. I could not save a single one I am a fucking weakling.
Tsuneo has suffered a lot, and guilt, pain, despair, hatred, unhappiness, loneliness, and sadness grip at his heart. Tsuneo for the first time witnessed a kindred soul. They both have suffered greatly, Tsuneo could tell from the eyes of the man and was shocked as he cried while he stood there silently. Tears fell from his eyes and in those tears Tsuneo saw years of hurt. Tsuneo's eyes could take no more and as the man cried his tears down his cheeks, Tsuneo's past burned his heart and ached his eyes into tears as well. Tsuneo was given a few words before he hid his tears.“You know NOTHING of what I have been through! I have spent the LAST THREE YEARS in exile due to my time spent in the shadows. I have lost everyone I have ever loved, and have nobody left in this world. I don’t even know if my daughter is still alive, but with my luck, I doubt it. I was forced to leave the village, I was shamed, I worked as a shadow for years, and when I was discovered again I was put in chains and nearly sentenced to death at the hands of a man I once looked up to!”Tsuneo stood up and walked towards the man as his eyes looked at him with extreme pain and sadness. Tsuneo spoke with a breaking voice "I am sorry.... You've been through a lot haven't you.... I apologize for judging you." Tsuneo patted the man's shoulder as he looked at him with sad eyes, and uncontrollably a tears escaped Tsuneo's eye and rolled down his cheeks. The eye which looked straight into Mitsuo's eyes.A sincere apology
Tsuneo lived through hell, but forgot that everyone is in this hell of a world, and no man is ever without baggage. Tsuneo moved back to stand in front of the man as he remained quiet incapable of saying a single word. He pitied himself and the man, and he knew his pity was not wanted but how could he not. Both of them were two tortured souls.
Breaking the Ice
Funnily enough Mitsuo put the wrong mask on and revealed himself as a member of the Aoi Bara, but reacted quickly and put it back before speaking again “And why must you be so loud about it? Nobody can know we are still alive, if they did they would hunt each of us to the man and kill us all. I won’t have that happen.” Tsuneo rubbed the back of his head, and extended his lips while looking away "Oh, sorry 'bout that, my bad." He reacted as if a kid getting scolded, and as he did he replied to his first question "Why am I looking for you guys? What do you mean why am I looking for my people? The mansion is blown up. Someone told me Tsuyo was dead, and I am investigating this piece of information. I decided to look for fellow brothers and sisters. I never got to formally meet with any of the Aoi Bara members. Though it would be nice to meet my new "family", which separated a eight months after I was officially accepted. The search for big brother Tsuyo remains on my mind, and I am not going to stop till I find him... I am not losing another family, believe it or not I've lost a lot... Just like you did... Your eyes sure do speak loudly."
