Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

Damned being X…

Tanya von Degurechaff, a soldier of the Empire, received a fatal blow from an enemy.

My consciousness fading as I fell from the sky.

Ah. This is it then. To cease to exist...

… Logically speaking, it is better than hell.

Tanya is sure Being X is capable of sending her to "hell", or a torture chamber, if being X is sadistic that is.

But that being said it would be my last reincarnation and what awaits me in complete annihilation.

While i cannot say I am 'grateful', but I am aware of concept of hell and it is definitely something I feared becoming reality; and I know being X who can send my soul to another world, can stop even time, or at least control my senses and consciousness and therefore my perception of pain too, is capable of sending me to such a place or illusion and make me suffer endless torment.

Therefore, completely non-existing is a good outcome compared to the possible worst that being X or other so called claimed deities could have done to me.

And I find solace in the fact that being X failed to gain my recognition as a 'God', and that I didn't lose in that matter even till the end, even in my death and my utter annihilation.

…

My consciousness finally faded as I let out my last breath.

…

???

I realise I am conscious now, as if I had just awakened from a long deep slumber. Even if it's all dark.

Did I somehow survive? I am sure half of my body was utterly destroyed to pieces. Or did they somehow save my upper half and did something to it and now I am alive like a certain cyborg story.

Oh. Right. Why would I think Being X would let me off easily? Perhaps once again he did something and I am alive somehow.

Once again, proving how hard he had to try to gain my faith. And that he needs or even wants it proves he can't be the entity called 'God' who's supposed to be omniscient and omnipresent, all powerful and mighty; shouldn't need nor want my or anyone's faith.

…

After a long time being in the dark, I finally regained some sense of bodily movement.

Just a little. It's as if I have a body, but they refuse to move as much. I am quite confused as to what my current predicament is exactly.

…

Now, after contemplation, I realised what's going on. Another proof of being X cannot be the so-called 'God' he claimed to be.

What God has to resort to deception? I am now aware that I have once again, reincarnated - I remember this feeling during my 2nd life and can tell I am inside the womb of my new mother. Where is the claimed complete destruction of my soul? If being X really wants my faith, he's doing a bad job at it. I don't have to explain anymore why being X is definitely not God.

Cursed Being X.

The day arrives as I am finally able to see the world. Cries of a baby filled the room. Of course, not mine. I recognize the sound from the other side.

"Both of them are born healthy!", the medic nin exclaimed in joy.

Kushina shed tears of relief and happiness as the twin was delivered too…

However the medic nin turned to a frown.

"Oh no… why isn't she crying…". The nin look at baby Tanya whose eyes are already open and seemingly locking eyes with her.

I suppose I should act accordingly.

Tanya swallowed the useless pride as an adult to make a fake baby cry.

Uwaaa. Uwaaaaaa~

The medic nin let out a sigh of relief. She had just planned to slap the baby's butt and Tanya was spared a spanking.

Minato looks at both of their children, having a son AND a daughter? He felt surprised and happy at the same time.

"I am a father of two…". He muttered as he wiped the tears almost falling off his eyes.

Minato approaches to see his daughter, but once again the nin ignored him and went to give the newborn Tanya to the red haired woman, Kushina.

Kushina turned her gaze from baby Naruto at her side to Tanya placed on the other.

"Tsuyu… I get to see you too finally…". Kushina looks at the baby who's almost similar to Naruto. The blue eyes, blonde hair like Minato, and the barely visible whiskers on her cheeks. She feels so happy seeing their children.

Tanya in her mind is looking around and assessing her situation. The good thing is she had parents this time. As for the language being the familiar Japanese, it brings nostalgia. But what's peculiar is the fact that whatever her place of birth is, it doesn't seem like a typical hospital. Is this a backward world I reincarnated into?

Tanya can't bend or move her head much to see more especially with the clothes wrapping her. She heard the cry of a baby that's been annoying her for a long time now - and it's her twin sibling Naruto from what she can get through the conversations. That's something new, definitely. As for what she expects, she doesn't think having a sibling is of any relevance to her goal.

In her previous life, there's nothing worth talking about the first few years. But it's especially hell during the first year as a helpless baby that can't even control their own excretion, unable to form any meaningful communication, unable to move or explore anything new, and basically subjected to a white room torture but to a lesser extent.

The two medic nin went to take Tanya and Naruto away while Minato would close the weakened seal.

Just as my mind is trying to mentally prepare for the coming monotonous day as a baby, my soul feels incoming danger and fear of death strikes all of my senses.

I heard screams and the sound of flesh cut with spurting blood all of a sudden. The terrifying presence catching my body just as the person carrying me fell dead.

"Lady Biwako! Taji!", Minato called in shock seeing the two medical nin fell in an instant.

The man in an ominous mask held both the babies in one hand, holding onto the cloths wrapping them.

Tanya is screaming and cursing Being X right now. Though it may sounds like a baby crying. She looks at the sharp blade pointed at her neck, feeling death is already close to her, again.

I HAD JUST BEEN REBORN?! AND I AM JUST A BABY!? THAT CURSED B-

Tanya has never entered such a ridiculous situation before even in her past 2 lives. Being X really takes it up to another whole level.

How did he get past the barrier?

Minato inspected the opponent, already readying his kunai inscribed with Flying Raijin Seal.

Madara places the kunai closer to the babies, threatening Minato.

"Fourth Hokage Minato. Get away from the jinchuriki now". He said in deep threatening voice.

"Otherwise their lives would end".

Minato look at the masked man, trying to figure out as much as he could on what to do in this situation.

Ahh! Kushina screamed. The seal is constantly weakening as symbols spread across her cheeks.

"Kushina!"Minato shouted in panic.

Tanya is observing everything, trying to understand and comprehend what kind of situation she is in.

Madara spoke again, 'Get away from the jinchuriki! Unless you want to see your children dead!'.

"Wait! Calm down!".

'Hmph. I am as calm as I can be'. Madara snorted.

Madara just tosses the two babies into the air. Tanya cursed Being X like a mantra. Minato throw a kunai to the ceiling close to them, and instantly teleported to catch them both.

Tanya is both shocked and amazed after comprehending what happened. Instantaneous movement - teleportation! Even in her previous world with mana and magic, this is not possible yet!

She felt a little secure with such a reliable father that can use such powerful magic.

'Now what will you do for that?'. Madara said in disdain as he made a hand seal.

Zzzttt…

The exploding tags stuck on both Tanya and Naruto is triggering.

Minato with his godspeed reaction unwraps the cloth wrapping them, teleports away, and tosses the bombs and protects both of them!

Minato cushion the impact with his body, injuring his leg with a splinter to protect his children.

Tanya just realised that the masked man had just placed bombs on her, a baby, and felt it can never get more outrageous.

This is a war crime. It's worse than a war crime!

Minato teleported along with them to their home, placing Tanya and Naruto on the bed.

"You will be safe here… Wait for me and mother okay…". Minato said with soothing words, tucking the blanket onto them.

Naruto crying subsided with Minato's words.

Minato looks at Tsuyu who's locking eyes with him. As if his daughter is analyzing him.

"It seems my daughter is a smart one. And not scared". Minato smiled, noticing the intelligent gleam in her eyes.

"I feel like you can understand me…". Minato said jokingly seeing her daughter looking at him so intently.

His face turned serious as he disappears with flying raijin, on the way to save Kushina

…

After some time, Minato suddenly appears again with Kushina in arms. Tanya is getting used to the sudden disappearance and appearance.

However she sees how her mother is seemingly injured or weak. She had the foreboding feelings…

Tanya looks at her mother who is laid next to them. Her hand stretching, trying to hold onto both of them.

Those eyes…

Tanya can sense it. That her mother's life is coming to an end. It would be a lie that she doesn't feel bitter. But more because of the inconveniences that would be coming.

Minato then turned to the cabinet nearby, wearing his Hokage cloak.

"I will be coming back…".

Minato disappears…

And just then, the ground and walls trembled.

Roar of what I can only equate to a monster reaches my ear and causes my scalp to tingle. My twin brother let out a cry, feeling the same dread. I can't bother about Naruto's hand gripping onto my arm because what the hell is that sound?

…

The roar keeps reverberating in the air. The ground keeps shaking. It's as if a monster out there is causing massive destruction nearby.

Kushina is holding onto them both, wanting to feel both of them before her life gives out. Tanya felt a sense of pity for her mother. But it's not like she can do anything about it. She tried to muster her mana like she used to do in previous life; but she can't. It's as if she doesn't have any at all.

She even began to think that even if she died again so soon, actually, it wasn't that bad to have a reset and reincarnate for the 4th time.

Tanya had some sense of calm and clarity thinking that way.

The destruction outside seemingly coming closer and closer, with the roaring louder and louder. And Tanya can feel the monster outside is RIGHT OUTSIDE and will probably kill them right at the moment.

Just then Minato teleported in and snatched them away; teleported out before the claws of 9 tails destroyed their home.

Tanya felt dizziness for a second and adjusted to her surrounding. She finally gets to see the monster.

An orange fox-skinned Godzilla with 9 tails, rampaging and destroying everything.

Her mind shook again, cursing being X like a mantra.

With much complications and drama like in the original Naruto show; Minato eventually uses death reaper seal to take Yin half of Kurama; and instead of taking it into his belly he decides to entrust it to her daughter.

His guts tells him he can trust her with the Yin half of Kurama. The clarity and intelligence in Tsuyu's eyes tells him she will be able to control the more evil part of Kurama.

Using 8 trigram seals, he sealed Yin Kurama into Tsuyu, adding his own and Kushina's chakra to be able to convey his will to her in the future.

Kurama's felt rage having half of himself split from him and pointed his claw to Tsuyu on the altar.

Like a skewer, their parents were pierced through…

Tanya is baffled at how outrageous everything is. She understands her father had just sealed the power of the clearly evil and dangerous fox monster the size of Godzilla into her body. She had just thought her father was a reliable man but now she only wants to curse him. How could you do this to your own child?!

I DON'T WANT IT!

But her cries fall to deaf ears. Who knew if she would one day get taken over or burst open from having that monster inside of her.

The other half of Yang Kurama, Minato entrusted it to Naruto.

Being X… I have to say, you overdone yourself.

Tanya said in resignation. Wondering if things can get any worse.

I just want a peaceful leisurely life… is it so hard…

…
