Through Pain And Strife {A Naruto Fanfic}

Shadow Dweller

No One's POV

Within the darkness of a large and refined, yet musky, room, a man with snow white skin and pitch black hair that goes down to the middle of his back sat in a chair by a fire. His breathing was heavy and raspy as his arms hung motionless over the rests of the seat. Apart from the breathing, the room was really quiet.

Suddenly the guy with grey hair and glasses, the one who challenged Akane during her training, appeared into the room; kneeling before the black haired man. "What progress have you made in finding the child?" The long haired man questioned and sweat began to form on the side of glasses guy's face and his cheek. He was quiet for a moment until he felt the gaze of the sitting man transfer from the ground at the guy's feet to himself.

"...None. It seems that breaking her seal has made her even more undetectable." He raised his head and the two of them locked eyes.

"Find her quickly. She is only one piece of the puzzle, though she may present to be a large one. Find her!"

"I understand that, but she's of no use to us if she can't control herself." Glasses guy spoke and the sitting man stayed quiet, waiting to hear where he was going with this. "If we take this time to get you healed, the girl will have the time to learn control. Once she does, she'll be of more use. I mean, what use is a sword that can't cut? Or worse, one that inadvertently cuts both ways?" 

A sneaky creep grin spread across the face of the seated man. Then, like a movie, it seemed as if the scene faded to black with a pair of golden snake eyes, and markings around the eyes, left behind.

Meanwhile, the color changed from golden snake eyes to crimson red normal ones.

A sigh escaped her lips as she fell to her knees in tears. "This is... the worst." She cried as darkness shielded her from control. 

Control of her power...

Control of her body........

Control of her mind...............

Control of her soul.
