Dexter's POV;

The next day I took Yuugao-nee back to the outskirts of The Land of Water, with Kirigakure in its center, not exactly where I rescued them yesterday, but near. We were tracking through the increasingly muddier and wetter bog that was so characteristic for this part of the world. Choosing a slower pace rather than tree jumping in favor for talking and security.

It wasn't quite foggy yet, but it won't be long before the characteristic fog of Kiri would swallow us.

“It's still hard to believe that you have the mind of a grown adult. Why haven't you told anyone?”, asked Yuugao-nee suddenly. We had a comfortable quiet after I explained what Sarutobi did to Uzushiogakure and my mother. She was shocked, to say the least and only believed me after I showed her the diary of him.

“Who would believe the Kyuubi-brat? Not to mention that I was a child and had not enough strength to protect me effectively. At least not at the moment”, I answered.

She looked up at me and frowned. “Why are you still wearing your mask?”, she then asked. Yuugao-nee was clad in a Uzu-ANBU uniform. The ANBU clothes of Uzushiogakure included combat boots, black wide trousers, and a tight shirt with a combat jacket over it. The clothes had stitched seals in them that made them more durable and resistant to Chakra. Most ANBU of Uzushiogakure also added their own perks and trinkets, making each uniform custom and unique.

Yuugao did this too, she had her old gray vest, rather than the black normal one and half a dozen pouches with additional weapons, seals, and other useful things. She also had a sword strapped on her back. The sword wasn't her original weapon, which she lost yesterday. This one was made in Uzu and also had of seals on it. They made the blade sharper, more durable and a better Chakra conductor. Uzushiogakure in itself was known for their seal weapons and their fierce and strong martial arts. Only bested by Kiri's Seven swordsmen.

There were even rumors that the seven swords were made in a joint project between Kiri's weapons smiths and Uzu's seal masters.

Anyway, Yuugao-nee meant that I still had my mask in place over my face. She did have a mask as well but wasn't wearing it now. Other than that I had my already known bondage trousers, mesh-shirt and black coat that looked like Anko's. My whole attire was black with neon green lines and flames, while the symbol of Uzushiogakure was printed on the back of my coat.

“Because this is an official mission and I am going as the Uzukage. Only a few core members of the village know how I really look like. And even they don't know all of it”, I answered.

“All of it? I saw your face this morning, it looked good. I'm sure I would need to have to beat up a lot of vultures if you would put off this horrible mask of yours. Especially your azure blue eyes”, she said with a laugh.

“Well, this is a Henge as well”, I said with a shrug and got a fierce glare shot at me.

“And why is that that I don't know how my little brother really looks like?”, she asked with mock anger and poked my chest, while looking up at me, making the whole 'little' thing kinda moot.

“Had no chance as of yet”, I said with another shrug.

“We have enough time now, so down with the Henge”, she ordered and waited for me to do so. I obliged and released the Henge I mostly had in place outsides of fights. My black pupils changed into slits, my normal ears vanished and in place came two fluffy looking fox ears at the top of my head. And lastly, nine tails sprung out of my tail bone. They swished leisurely around and I used one of them to close the open mouth of Yuugao-nee.

“What? Did the fox did that to you?”, she asked after a long pause. It was more of an angry statement than a question. She might have accepted that I was not the Kyuubi and that I'm more than her little brother, but the whole 'Kyuubi is good' thing wasn't fully accepted. And I wasn't going to say that 'good' is relative.

Kura-chan has asked me more than once to simply kill everyone in Konoha and be done with it. It would be easier, faster and not as troublesome, but also not as funny and useful.

“Technically yes, but only at my request. Kura-chan helped me a lot in my life. Without her I would be long dead, would have suffered brain damage, and would even be blind”, I said and patted her back with a tail to signal her that we should keep walking.

Outside of Konoha, it wasn't such a big deal to show my tails, it was mostly got put away as another bloodline. There are some that give more arms, so why not one with tails?

“But, but the tails, and your eyes. Your beautiful blue eyes, slitted eyes aren't exactly what turns on a woman”, she shouted with raised arms.

“I always liked your eyes”, she added with a pout.

“Come to think of it, what's with these purple eyes? They remind me a little bit about the Sharingan with their tomoes, but the color is all wrong and you have more than one ring”, she then said and was again next up to me.

“It's called Rinne-Sharingan, but it's not exactly the real thing. Neither Kura-chan nor I know what went wrong. They should be red, not purple and especially not in my eye sockets”, I answered but got a questioning expression.

“It's basically the last form of the Sharingan”, I further said and had to close her mouth again with a tail.

She grabbed the tail and shot a short glare at me”; stop that. Your tails tickle. What do you mean with Sharingan? Are you an Uchiha? I saw Mikoto Uchiha, so not every one of them got killed by Itachi”. Her hand didn't let go of my tail and she began to pet it absent-mindedly.

“This is a long story and has some parts of history in it as well”. She gestured with my tail for me to continue and I shrugged, before killing a few crows with air bullets.

“Itachi is spying with crows, didn't want to risk him overhearing this”, I answered her unasked question. She looked around for a moment but then relaxed again. “So? Tell me, I always liked history”, she then said.

“What do you know about Chakra and its origins?”, I asked with a grin.

“I don't know, it's speculated that we adapted to the nature energy and developed Chakra coils as an answer to it. Why?”, she answered.

“A good theory but wrong. Chakra was originally only inside the god tree, the Shinju. A princess named Kaguya Ootsutsuki ate the only fruit of this tree and gained the ability to use Chakra. The god tree didn't like it, however, that its fruit was stolen, so it uprooted itself and wanted to get his Chakra back. Kaguya absorbed the Shinju, now a monster with ten tails, the Juubi.

No one knows how or why and turned into the first Jinchuriki. It made her something resembling a god, she held the origin of Chakra, every possible bloodline and the ability to freely control any and all Chakra. She was named the Rabbit Goddess and ruled the world with an iron fist.

Other humans had no Chakra back then, the first other beings with the ability to wield it were her two children Hagoromo and Hamura. Both learned how to use Chakra and grew in strength. They also saw how their mother treated the humans and tried to bring her away from her cruelty. It failed and they were forced to fight.

At the end she lost and got sealed away, while Hagoromo took over the Juubi and got its Jinchuriki, he was then known as the Rikudou Sennin, the sage of the six paths. However, the Juubi was too strong for him to control and he split the monster into nine parts. Each was given a part of the Juubi's strength. Some more some less. The strength can easily be determined by the number of their tails.”, I stopped for a moment so she can ask questions and saw that she indeed had some.

“So the Kyuubi”, “Kurama”, “right, Kurama is a part of this ten tailed monster and the freaking myth of the Rikudou Sennin is true?”.

“Yup, Kura-chan is, by the way, the strongest”, I said proudly and got an approving growl from my vixen beauty.

“And what does that have to do with your eyes? Not that I don't mind the history, it's a good fairytale”, she asked.

“Well, Hagoromo had the opinion that Chakra should be used for peace and that people might be able to stop wars with its help”, Yuugao-nee scoffed”, yes, exactly what I think. Anyway, he gave others the ability to use and wield Chakra, even if they were not as skilled as he. He also had two children. One of them was Indra, the other Ashura. Indra got blessed with Hagoromo's skill and eyes, the Sharingan. While Ashura got his body and Chakra, he also was quite skilled in uniting people.

Then, shortly before Hagoromo died of old age, he named Ashura his successor. He, after all, had the heart to understand people so that they would come together.

His brother didn't see it that way and demanded to get the title. It came to a fight that sprung over to their children and the children of their children. With each generation, Chakra got more known, widespread, and used for battle rather than for peace.

Do you want to guess who their latest 'children' were?”, I further told. She was listening with rapt interest and thought over my question for a moment.

“You said that Inda got the Sharingan, that would mean that the Uchiha were the clan that came from him. And the Uchiha were in a near endless fight with the Senju. Do you want to say that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were the last fighting people?”, she said and grinned at my nod.

“Yes, they were technically the last 'fighting' ones. In reality, the fight isn't over. There is already a new generation. Sasuke Uchiha and I were the new ones. And without Kurama telling me all this it would probably lead to us fighting against each other. But now I cut my ties with Konoha and I'm not sure if it will happen”.

“But aren't you an Uchiha as well? And why did you save Mikoto but not her son?”, she asked.

“I think I got my Uchiha blood from Minato, and as for Sasuke. Well, the Uchiha were too deep in the past with their mindset. They planned a forced takeover of Konoha before Itachi killed most of them. I saved a few toddlers and babies. They weren't corrupted from their parents and had a chance to grow up without the characteristic Uchiha arrogance. Mikoto only got saved because Mom asked me to.

Turned out that she was abused by her husband. Sasuke was already a small copy of his father and no longer savable in my opinion. I left him and he showed his arrogance on more than one occasion since then.

But let me finish the story of why I have these eyes. The Uzumaki are distant cousins of the Senju and got the Chakra of Hagoromo. This means that they have larger than normal Chakra capacities. Combine this with the Sharingan and you get the next step in the Dojutsu ranking list. The Rinnegan. It's heralded as the eyes of god and allow me to create matter out of Chakra. I can also do a lot of other things.

There are only four other individuals with these eyes, including me. The first was Hagoromo, the second Madara, the third the leader of Akatsuki and lastly me”.

“How did Madara get the Rinnegan? Isn't he a full blood Uchiha? And wasn't Akatsuki this group of S-Rank mercenaries? Also, you said your eyes are named Rinne-Sharingan, sounds like it's a step above the Rinnegan”, she asked rapidly.

“Yes, well, Madara implanted some of Hashirama's flesh into himself after their fight. This allowed him to awake the Rinnegan. And Akatsuki is a group of S-Rank Ninja as well.

As for my Rinne-Sharingan, that is a little complicated. I mentioned that I don't have the real Rinne-Sharingan didn't I ?”, she nodded at that.

“The real Rinne-Sharingan is placed as a third eye on the forehead and looks like mine, just in the Sharingan red. My eyes have the purple of a Rinnegan.

I shouldn't have the tomoes in them. Kura-chan and I don't know why that happened. We think it's because she isn't the Juubi and my eyes only awakened partially. This theory is supported by the fact that the only two others who had a real Rinne-Sharingan were the Jinchuriki of the Juubi. Hagoromo and Kaguya”.

“Hmm, so you are in effect the bastardized version of the Rikudou Sennin?”, she asked after a moment.

“I think you could say that”, I said with a shrug. I should ask Mom if I'm a bastard. Don't know if they were married when she conceived me. I could then tell my opponents that this bastard fucked them up....

“What can you do with them?”, asked Yuugao-nee and brought me out of my musing.

“I can do all of the Sharingan abilities, like the Susano'o, the fast eyesight, the Amaterasu and some other barely known things. I also gained special summoning contracts, can manipulate my body into becoming a weapon”, I showed this by morphing my arm into a laser”, I can manipulate gravity, rip the soul out of a human and read their mind, revive the dead, absorb any and all Chakra, and create things”. Her mouth was again open and I closed it with another tail. The first one was still in her hands.

“No wonder people call it the eyes of god! But wouldn't that mean that this isn't everything?”, she asked in awe and wonder.

“Yes, the true Rinne-Sharingan also allows one to travel between dimensions and create a Genjutsu so powerful it can ensnare the whole world at once”.

“And you want that power why? From what I heard this Kaguya got so much strength that she turned into a dictator and probably used her eye-power to control the world. Do you want that too?”, she asked and squeezed the tail in worry, not that she noticed that.

“I don't need the Genjutsu, but it would be nice to travel between dimensions. I said that I was reincarnated. I haven't said that I was from this world”, I answered and she let the tail drop in another shock. It jumped back between her hands and another moved her hand so that she would continue to pet it.

I mean it feels nice....

°I let this one pass because she is your 'sister'°, said Kura-chan from the 'side'.

°Thank's love°, I laughed.

“You mean that there are more worlds than this one? What was yours like?”, asked Yuugao-nee in curiosity, once she came out of her shock.

“We had no Chakra, and our wars were more brutal and bigger. Technology allowed us to create weapons that could destroy the world but were mostly used as a shock factor and never really as a weapon. It was different, the only same thing is the way people think. Both worlds have cruel and also loving people”, I explained and described a few other things like cars, skyscrapers and guns.

“No wonder you act so differently from normal people at times. I always thought you were just not like other children and then, yesterday, that you came from a different time, but now it makes sense why you are so against or unknown with some normal social things”, she said with a sigh.

“What do you mean?”, I asked.

“Well, you are against the whole family and bloodline thing, also against the housewife role of most women. Then your comments about some stupid traditions and I never saw you as someone truly devoted to the village. It worried me a little that you would turn rouge. Heh, my worries were true at the end. Even if I would have never thought about all this for a reason”, she confessed.

“Well, I think my acting skills aren't as good as I thought. But yes, my mindset was already firmly in place and the Ninja Academy couldn't change it.

So what do you think about all this?”, I asked and glanced down at her. She made no expression and kept petting the tail, while we walked.

We passed the border long ago and it shouldn't be long before we get spotted by either Kiri-loyalists or rebels.

“I think there is much more I don't know about my little brother, things I want to know and things that I have a right to know. I want to understand why you are doing what you are doing and then hope that I can still see my little brother in all this”, she finally said.

“I'll try to be truthful with any question you ask me. If that's not possible I will say so and give a reason for it, rather than lying”, I promised and she smiled up at me.

“Then let me ask the first question, what is this about Kurama and you? Huh? I think I have a right to have a word with her, I mean I am your big sister and only a truly perfect woman is allowed to have my little brother”, she said with a twinkle.

°Give me control°, demanded Kura-chan and I did so. My eyes changed into her red ones and she took the tails out of Yuugao-nee's hands, much to her ire.

“Yuugao, Dex-kun gave control over his body to me, so that I'm able to speak directly with you”, Kura-chan's voice was laced with Chakra and sounded more feminine than my own. The Chakra didn't create any compulsion or the like, only made it sound powerful and unnatural.

Yuugao-nee on her side jumped back from my sudden change and fell into a fighting stance before growling some silent profanities at Kura-chan for her smug expression at Yuugao-nee's reaction.

“So you are the fox? You sound not very ladylike”, was Yuugao's comeback.

“Well yes, what do you expect? I'm in the body of a man”, she replied and asked me via a mental link to apply a Henge over my body to look like her.

I did so and I changed into the form Kura-chan used when we were in my mindscape.

“Better?”, asked Kura-chan, now in a melodic and beautiful female voice. It still held its unnatural and powerful echo.

“Kinda, so this is what you look like when you are not a giant everything destroying fox?”, asked Yuugao-nee, both resumed their slow pace.

“Oh yes, your small puny humans were such a joy to stomp on”, said Kura-chan with a grin. Yuugao-nee spluttered on air before glaring heavily at Kura-chan.

“Dex-kun already said that I was controlled by the Sharingan of Madara, you should know by now that the Rinnegan, and to some extent, the Sharingan as well, are able to control a Bijuu. I didn't choose to attack Konoha he made me. I would still have been sealed inside Kushina if he hadn't ripped me out of her”, said Kura-chan as if nothing happened.

“But by your tone you don't regret”, accused Yuugao-nee.

“Why should I? Humans are fragile and mortal. And without Madara's interference, I would still be sealed inside Kushina and would never have been able to meet my Dex-kun like I did. We would not have fallen in love and I would not have the man I desire at my side. It also helps that he's a great lover”, answered Kura-chan with a lusty smile at the end.

Yuugao-nee forced back the small blush that formed on her cheeks and then came back with a counter argument; “It seems that humans aren't high on your list of likable things, but why do you like Dex-kun then? He is a human”.

Kura-chan only laughed at this. It was one of her beautiful laughs that rang like the bells of heaven. However, it seems like Yuugao-nee didn't appreciate her laugh as much as I do. She frowned heavily at Kura-chan.

“Dex-kun is so much more than simply human. He gives me what I desire, he thinks of me as the beautiful being and not the 'giant everything destroying fox', he is doing everything in his power to give me a body just so that he can hold me in reality. He is simply everything a woman would wish for.

It also helps that his mind is as ancient as mine and that we have a lot of in common”, she finished and held a small content smile.

Yuugao-nee said nothing for a long moment; “And what would you be willing to give him? This all sounds like a one sided deal for me”, she then ultimately said. The accusation that Kura-chan was using me was clear.

“The answer is simply, everything! It saddens me that I'm only able to give him comfort inside his mind, rather than in reality. And the only aid I can give him is my Chakra. And as powerful as it is, it doesn't make up for my desire to stand next to him.

I still don't understand why he hasn't just destroyed Konoha after what they have done to him, I know I would have! I know the reason, but not how he is so set on doing it like he does.

I would have been fine with blasting it to hell and then find a way to give me a body so that we could live in a small cottage in the woods.

But no!, Dex-kun wants to unite the world!”, her rant finished she huffed one last time and then looked at Yuugao-nee's wide eyes.

“Do you know how much it pains me to have seen him getting hurt when he was only a toddler and then child? How much he struggled and trained so that he would not be pushed around at the whims of others? How he went through mind breaking pain only for me to have a chance at gaining a body? And while all this happened I am only able to speak to him through the mind, not able to hug him in reality? I can see him whenever he sleeps, but once he wakes up I'm only inside his head, gone and not able to help from beyond the cage that is his seal”, she continued in a softer sad and pained tone.

°Kura-chan, I don't mind that you aren't next to me. I am content with you being there when I sleep. You know that we will find a way to give you a body that can contain your power°, I said softly.

°I know that you don't, but I do!°, she replied softly. Our inner conversation was stopped when Yuugao-nee suddenly hugged Kura-chan.

“I can't understand how you feel, but I know how powerless I felt when I learned of what the villagers had done to Dexter. I swore to keep him safe from then on and that he wouldn't be in another situation like this. That he would have someone that loves him.

I tried to be a good sister to him, but it seems like he didn't need me at all. He already knew so much and what little I could teach him was quickly learned. I hoped to have him with me in my ANBU team once he grows up, teaching him the finer details of being a Ninja, only to learn that he surpassed me long ago and was already leading a village on his own.

That he was stronger than most and already with a woman at his side. It's not that I thought of becoming his girlfriend, I just thought that I would stay the only woman in his life for a little longer. That he would look up to his older sister, even for only a few more years.

And here we are, I'm forced to look up to him, physically, politically and even in terms of strength”. Yuugao-nee then began to sob quietly.

°Help!°, said Kura-chan quickly and confused.

°Hey, you are the woman, I don't know how the fuck someone has to proceed with a crying one. Do something°, I replied frantically. Crying women are uncomfortable. I can't ignore Yuugao-nee, can't leave and especially can't kill her. This is a major problem. °Do something!°, I added.

°And what? I'm a being made of Chakra. I only feel something for you, and you don't cry. What could a human female want in such a situation?°, she asked back. Also becoming slightly exasperated.

°Don't know, hug her? Say something? I don't know, just make her stop without hurting her°, I answered.

I felt the rush of Kura-chan's thoughts racing through our shared mind before she settled down on the hugging. She returned the hug and even slowly rubbed the back of Yuugao-nee.

“Eh... erm.... Oh yes...., Dex-kun is still thinking of you as his older sister. He only stayed in Konoha for you so long. He said that he would need to find a way to bring you with him. He wouldn't have said that if he didn't care about you. He wants to have you with him.

You help him a lot, you gave him the family he needed when he was alone. I met and befriended him only after he became you, little brother. He loves you like a sister and is in no way thinking about casting you away.

Did you know that he never takes someone with him on a mission? You are the first to do so. That should tell you how much trust he has in you and how much he relies on your advice.

You are a fine big sister and should be proud of yourself”. Kura-chan then continued with the back petting.

°Did it work?°, she asked still worried.

°Don't know, I hope°, I replied.

“Really?”, Yuugao-nee then finally asked.

“Yes, he agrees with me”, affirmed Kura-chan

Yuugao-nee broke the hug and then got wide eyed. “You mean he heard all this?”, she asked with a heavy blush.

“Of course, we always hear what the other says. We can even read each other's mind if needed. And he assures you that he will always stay your little brother.

But this doesn't mean that I will share him with you”, said Kura-chan with a nod but glared at Yuugao-nee. The meaning of her share was clear and Yuugao-nee spluttered before nodding her head.

“I didn't intend to have such a relation to Dexter”, she said, still with a slight blush.

“Good, his tongue skills and the things he can do with his tails will stay mine”, nodded Kura-chan approvingly and with a lusty grin.

°Okay, before this gets any more embarrassing, can I have back my body?°, I asked and Kura-chan gave back the control.

“Sorry about listening in and the last part, Kura-chan can get quite possessive”, I said while rubbing the back of my head. Speaking about sex with family is never comfortable.

“Eh, yes. No problem, good that we cleared this.... So... you really want me to stay your big sister?”, said Yuugao-nee awkwardly.

“Yes, you were the only one of importance in Konoha to me”, I said with a grin and had step back from the force of the following hug.

She hugged me for nearly a minute before she broke it and then continued to walk. After three minutes she stopped again and frowned.

“The only one of importance? What about your teammates? What will happen to them?”, she then asked.

“I always knew that I would leave them at some point in my life. They are nice, I liked to train with Lee and Guy, even if I had to hold back. But they aren't as important to me as you and I don't think they would agree if I told them that I plan to destroy Konoha as a village.

The end of my plan sees to the eradication of the village concept. There won't be a village left, only one nation. No village animosity, no war over land and no rivalry between villages”, I answered truthfully.

“So you don't plan to kill everyone, just to destroy the village as a symbol?”, she asked.

“Yes, you could say that. There still will be death and I think war before this can happen but the ultimate goal is a united world”, I nodded.

“Good, I feared you planned to kill them all”, she said relieved.

“Why would you do that?”, I asked, already knowing why, but still hoping for an honest answer.

“With all they did? It would only be normal to seek revenge. That you only plan to destroy the reason for why they did what they did, not them themselves, so that their children will grow up differently is good of you”, she said with a proud smile.

“Well, you showed me that not every one of Konoha is evil and a torturing idiot”, I replied, satisfied and somewhat happy with her answer.

“But enough about me, tell me about Hayate. I know that you are together, and now that he's healed it even might be possible to stay this way for longer than a few years”, I said with a grin. Yuugao-nee blushed and twisted her thumbs.

“Well, I think I love him. He understands me and helps me in a lot of things, like training or when I didn't know what to do with your antics. And it frightened me to see him this wounded. Thank you again for healing him, even if I don't really know how. The doctors always told him that his disease is chronic and would kill him in a few years”, she mumbled.

“So I have to give him the Shovel Talk?”, I asked. She looked confused at me.

“Shovel Talk?”, she asked but I only smiled mysteriously at her.

“What is the Shovel Talk?”, she asked again.

“Nothing of importance to you, do you think he will ask to marry you?”, I asked and changed the topic.

“I don't know, I would say no if it was the day before yesterday, but now with us being in Uzushiogakure and he fully healed. He was more open when we talked yesterday night. As if something that stopped him was gone. I think he still tried to keep me away so that I wouldn't grieve too much when he would ultimately succumb to his illness”, she answered, biting the bait at a topic changer. The Shovel Talk is nothing the woman in question is allowed to know.

It's sacred!

“Glad to hear that this is no longer the case”, I said.

“I always thought you don't like him much”, she stated with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, I don't have anything against him. But the woman he wants to touch just so happens to be my sister, that is something that isn't accepted with some tests”, I answered matter of factly.

“Really? Good, just don't overdo it. I think he is somewhat fearing you”, she said and I had to promise to not overdo it. So the questioning what he would do for Yuugao-nee while hanging over a boiling pot of water is a no. Too bad.

“Anyway, when do you think will we meet some of these Kiri Ninja?”, she asked after another good fifteen minutes.

“Oh, the rebels are already watching us for quite some time and the loyalists will confront us in a minute or two. They are only a short moment away from spotting us and with that my obvious bloodline”, I answered and Yuugao-nee instantly pulled her sword. Just in time to deflect a Kunai. Not that the Kunai ever had a chance to hit her.

A team of four Kiri Ninja then revealed themselves and glared hatefully at me.

“What is a blood scum doing in our land?”, asked one of them.
