Mysterious Kunoichi (Part 1 of 2 in the MK Series)

Kaminari Hime (Lightning Princess)

"You might want to take a seat." Danzo sounded so amused already.

Hime,

          I hope I'm the one to give this to you, on your 21st birthday. If I'm not there to see you, please know I love you. I always have, and I always will. Sealed within this scroll is a scroll from your mother, written to your father. The secrets within were kept from you for your own protection. You can also guess by now, for the protection of the village.

Tears filled my eyes, Minato, I wish you were here.

         Your mother, Kichona Kaminari, was her name, princess of her clan. Your name is Y/n Kaminari, princess and heiress to the Kaminari clan.

Hime. It makes so much sense now.

          I know you'll be angry, and you have every right to be, but please trust in my choice to wait in telling you, Hime.

          I love you,
                 Minato

There, below his signature was another seal. I stumbled to the ground, landing on my knees. The scroll was laid out, water splotching the parchment. When did it start raining? I made a few hand signs and unsealed the scroll. When the small puff of smoke cleared, a necklace and scroll lay there. The necklace was silver and held a bold of lightning, filled with diamonds and sapphires.

The scroll, old and handled often it seemed, as though Minato felt its weight the same way I felt the weight of his scroll. I loosed another shaky breath and picked up the scroll as I pocketed the necklace. The first word, written in feminine writing, knocked the wind out of me.

Minato. It was addressed. I cut my eyes back to the scroll Minato had written. From your mother, written to your father. That means... bile burned its way up my throat and I choked on the taste. Thunder boomed in the distance. I tried to read again.

Minato,

I hope this scroll and our daughter made it to you safely.

Breakfast was on the ground beside me in seconds. I heaved again and again until there was nothing left in my stomach.

She's in danger. I'll likely be dead by the time she reaches you. As you know, my clan is known for the ability to summon storms, and control them. Someone is hunting us, trying to make us work for them. We've refused, so instead, they're killing us off.

Y/n, that ours daughters name.

I choked again, nothing rising since my stomach was empty.

She'll be powerful Minato. I know your night here all those years ago was a chance encounter, but she is the result of that encounter. I've never had another lover, never wanted anyone but you. My father refused to let me come to you, and now I know why. For my safety, and for Y/n's. And for both villages.

I can't explain how our kekkei genkai works, I don't have the time. To put it simply, her emotions will rage with the storms. She will likely not notice until you've told her who she is, but she will learn how to control the storm as well as her emotions.

Our affinity is lightning, but most of us can control water as well, as well as wind. I have no doubt she will be able to. The rare jutsu she must know and control: Owari no Arashi (Storm of End). It can wash away boulders and flood valleys. The lighting splitting trees and the thunder loud enough to make your ears bleed.

Please, I beg of you, protect her. Raise her with the gentleness you showed me when we met. The only thing I regret is not telling you the truth sooner. You'll always hold my heart.
