Chapter 22

Your POV

You were standing in front of the Mizukage along with Kakashi and the rest of the group. You were nervous about what kind of conversation you were going to have. Kakashi noticed you fidgeting and grabbed your hand. You looked at him, stunned only for a second. He smiled back at you.

"Relax, I'm here. Whatever happens next from now on, you won't face it alone. I'll be with you every step of the way, okay?" Kakashi spoke in a low voice so only you could hear him. You smiled softly and nodded back to him. You both looked forward to the Mizukage, who was wiping away her tears from the heartfelt reunion that had just occurred in her office.

"We shall speak in the conference room, I'm afraid that some unwanted guests might eavesdrop on our meeting. I'm in no mood for breaking anyone's bones so shall we head on out?" The Mizukage said smiling while walking out the door. Naruto's face had lost its color due to his fear of the Mizukage.

"Oh man, just like Granny Tsunade." Naruto felt a shiver done his spine as he walked out of her office. Everyone followed her into a room with a large table with many chairs and no windows.

"Please sit down, we have much to talk about. Also, a lot of explaining on our part." Lady Mizukage gestured to the group. You sat across from Lady Mizukage as Kakashi and Naruto sat on the opposite sides of you following by everyone else taking random seats around the table.

"So I wanted to start off by apologizing to you (Name)." Mizukage stood up and bowed towards you along with her advisors. You along with everyone else were shocked.

"The circumstances which you live in now is entirely the Mist's fault. For that, I'm deeply sorry, if there is anything we can do to make it up to you please do not hesitate to ask." Mizukage stood up straight and gave you a serious expression as if she was waiting for the request right at that moment. You immediately knew what you were going to ask.

"I want to see my parents files and the lab my mother was tested in." You had the look of determination on your face. Kakashi looked over to you and was concerned about what you had just requested. The Mizukage nodded and smiled.

"I knew you were going to ask for that, so I went ahead and took the liberty of grabbing the files before you all came." Lady Mizukage grabs the files from one of her advisors. She walked over to you and handed both of them to you. You glanced over the pictures of your parents that were clipped to the files. Your father, Tora Riku, had the same (h/c) hair as you but had different colored eyes. Yet, your mother was just simply elegant. It looked so hard to believe that she was the one who had experiments done on her. She had long black hair and the same (e/c) eyes as you. One thing you noticed is that when you transform you immediately switch hair colors from your regular hair to black, two colors that both your parents have. You laughed as tears roll down your face again. You didn't even open the file and your learning more about them already.

"I see you get your beauty from your mother, yet you're a spitting image of your father as well." Lady Mizukage said while smiling at you. You grinned at her then looked at Kakashi.

"I've always known you were beautiful, but now I know where you got it from." Kakashi gave you a closed eye smile. You blushed a little but still smiled at him. Then you opened your father's file as your eyes widened at the first speck of information you see.

"My dad was a high ranked Jonin? And he was the third Mizukage's assistant?"

"Let's not forget they were best friends since they were children!" Mizukage beamed with excitement from being so knowledgeable. It only confused you more.

"Then why kill your best friend..." you were slowly getting angry until Lady Mizukage placed her hand on your shoulder.

"He did not give the order to chase after them. The third knew about your parents escape and helped them leave in secret. As to who did give the order... I suspect it was someone involved in the experiments who didn't want precious data to escape from them. This was also during the war so keep in mind that they were planning on using people like you and your mother as weapons along with the three-tails when we still had it." Mizukage looked frustrated and you read her face immediately. You knew she had no idea who could've been responsible. You quickly opened your mother's file and placed it next to your father's. Your face was suddenly enraged.

"She... She volunteered?! What the hell! Why would she do something like that?!" You got up from your chair and started pacing back and forth as you read the notes regarding your mothers time as a lab rat. You grew even angrier, to the point were your hardly noticed your hair and eyes change, along with the new feature of tiger-like ears. Naruto froze in his seat as he witnessed his sister's transformation. Kakashi quickly went up to you and grabbed your shoulders.

"(Name) calm down, you don't have to keep reading. Take a break and just breathe, your anger is triggering a transformation." He looked genuinely concerned, but you were so engulfed in rage that you pushed him away.

"Of course I need to keep reading! I need to understand why?! Why am I like this?! Why did she choose this?! How the hell did she end up being a successful experiment?! Who killed them?!!!!" You paused as you remembered what you had just said. "Who killed them.." you thought. You flipped through some pages to find the names of people who participated in the experiment but saw one name that had taken lead in all procedures.

"Orochimaru..." Everyone either stood up from their chairs or took a step back in shock. Jiraiya was angered by his very name and had an expression as if he regretted something.

"The same bastard I was with when I was undercover in the Akatsuki? What... how? Why? Why did he.." you let go of the papers as they fell to the ground. You started to hyperventilate and reached the wall. Kakashi ran to you and grabbed you again.

"(Name)! It's alright, just breathe! Breathe..." the image of Kakashi and his voice faded into black as you suddenly found yourself in what appeared to look like a sewer. You heard a distant growl in one of the many dark halls that appeared before you. You were confused but not afraid. You kept walking as your feet splashed in water with every step. The growling had gotten louder as you were in front of one specific dark hall. You walked in it as you reached a large room surrounded in chains. You were standing in the center of the dim room when all of a sudden a large white paw is behind you and pushes you forward. You fell to the water below you and slowly looked up to see a white tiger sitting before you in chains. Rather then the large beast looking intimidating, it was scared.

"You finally heard me! After all these years you can finally hear and see me!" The tiger had a feminine voice as it looked relieved. You quickly stood up and took a battle stance. It noticed and became sad.

"Are you afraid of me? Please don't be afraid. I don't like to be feared. Why am I so scary? I haven't spoken to a person in over 20 years. Not since Hikairi left. She wasn't afraid of me..." you eased up as your eyes widened when she says your mothers name.

"You... knew my mom?" You said as you got closer. The tiger laid down so it could see you better. You saw your own reflection looking into the tiger's green eyes.

"I did! She was so kind to me ever since I was created. She would always have conversations with me and we were partners in battle. Kairi-chan basically raised me from a little cub to the tiger I am today." You got near the tiger and started petting her beside her ear. She purred at your actions.

"I'm Uzumaki Tora (Name). What's your name?"

"Toranoko Akira, and I've known you since before you were born. I promised Kairi-chan I'd protect you and support you through anything! So I guess from today on.. your my new master." The tiger sat up and extended her paw above you. You laughed.

"Nah, forget that whole master thing. Let's be friends Kira-chan." You grinned as you fist bumped her paw. Then fist bump caused all of the shackles that tied down Akira to release her and fall to the ground. She laughed with joy as she stretched her paws and suddenly a large amount of tails revealed themselves. You laughed as well until you noticed them.

"Wow, you really were made to resemble the tailed beasts. How many tails do you have?" You said admiring them.

"Oh! I have eleven tails!" Akira said while showing them off. "But anyways you should probably wake up now."

"Wake up? What do you mean? I've been asleep this whole time while talking to you?" You said as you tilted your head to the side in confusion.

"Well not exactly. You're awake but unconscious, so right now I'd say you're on a rampage." Akira said while laughing nervously. The color in your face disappeared.

"What?! How do I go back?! My brother's out there!" You said while running in circles in front of Akira. She laughed as she used one of her tails to grab you.

"Don't worry! You'll return in 3, 2, 1!" All of sudden you went from seeing Akira to being immobilized by what looks like Naruto clones with red beast-like eyes. You noticed your surroundings, the room was a mess! The Mizukage's advisors were behind the flipped table as Lady Mizukage was kneeling and panting in front of it. Kakashi was in front of you, his headband off, blood falling from his face and his Sharingan activated. Jiraiya and Guy were also beside him covered in bloody scratch marks. The real Naruto was in front of them but ran towards you. Everyone else realized you had come back to your senses when the tailed beast cloak had faded away, everyone but Naruto.

"Snap out of it, Nee-chan!!!!!" Naruto lunged towards you and uppercutted you. Causing the rest of his clones to disappear and you to fall back to the ground.

"You Baka!!! I had already come back to my senses before you punched me!" You quickly got up and put Naruto in a headlock. Naruto's beast eyes had also faded away at the time as he sweatdropped.

"Oops, hehehe." Naruto laughed nervously. Kakashi fell on his knees exhausted from using his Sharingan. You let go of Naruto and ran to him.

"Kakashi are you alright?! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go on a ramp-" Kakashi put his arm around you and pulled you closer to him.

"It's alright, you were upset it's understandable. But now at least we know now not to piss you off." Kakashi chuckled before he fell unconscious on you. Everyone laughed as you sighed and held him.

"I'm glad I didn't hurt you too much. At least now I'm in more control, right Kira-chan." You laughed as you thought to yourself.

"Right!"

A/N: so I googled tiger cub in Japanese and got Toranoko and Akira. If that isn't correct then oh well I still like the sound of it. I decided that I'm going to try out this new schedule thing where I work on this book for a certain amount of time then on Low pressure because I haven't been able to properly focus on it. I'm starting with two days to work on each book. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thank you again for the support!

Oml! My knees are going weak! I love this picture! 😍
