∆Her chakra was never blue.∆ Eksa Kabuzo was just three months in the night the Nine-Tails killed Konoha's mothers. While the village mourned Kushina Uzumaki, no one recorded the death of Ayame Kabuzo - midwife, hidden sister, Eksa's mother. Her father Ren took her into exile. He taught her that chakra has color by intention. Pink to shield. Purple to bind oaths. Green to calm. At seven, he sealed the Lotus Heart inside her skull to hide her from Danzo. At ten, dying, he gave her to Orochimaru with one deal: train her, don't make her a weapon. At thirteen she returns. A purple diamond burns on her forehead. A thin pink chain unspools from her hand - it does not pull like Kushina's, it protects. And every step in Konoha triggers her father's migraine. Tsunade calls her niece. Naruto feels quiet when she is near. Orochimaru still waits in the forest. She was not born to fight. She was born to endure. "They sealed the beast in him. I must carry the whole secret of the Kabuzo clan and the hidden Uzumaki blood. He was made into a weapon, the sun of the village, great and respected. I was made into the protector, from the shadows. I was Experiment 07, in a cold laboratory that became my home." Disclaimer!!! I don't own other characters than mine . They belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
