Naruto : Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

"Hnhnhn… it's complete… from testing the body is no less than yours, Tsuyu. What do you think?" Orochimaru licked his lips, looking over at the beautiful, untainted clone body of an Otsutsuki in the glass tank. She looked exactly like Kaguya if she were a child. She looked about 7 years old, much like Kouga now.

"Impressive…"

In fact Orochimaru created a new life entirely, and there was a new soul inside. Tsuyu didn't care though. And perhaps this is what makes the body special and able to survive all this time and could be used to resurrect Kaguya.

"Then let's begin. I will implant the Karma to make up for its genetic defect."

"Hnhnhn… Interesting…" Orochimaru had his eyes shining seeing Tsuyu used a massive amount of chakra and implanted Karma into the clone body.

The clone body seemed to scream in pain, but soon recovered. The genetics were close to 100% after all, so it was successful. Tsuyu felt really tired after using most of her chakra. To think Karma took so much to make.

'Kaguya. Why don't your clan make clone bodies like this to create vessels for their own resurrection. Why go to the trouble of using 'servants' of your clans.'

Because of the rules among our clan. A clone was a taboo. We aren't allowed to kill other fellow clansmen. Our genetics determined our status. Creating a clone body, means the clone would be of the same status as the original body being a true Otsutsuki with similar genetics from their birth. It disrupts the hierarchy. We had our own laws.

'I see. So your clan was 'geneticist'. Genetics determine your status.'

Indeed. They believe each genetics carried a certain fate. For an Otsutsuki to transform themselves by consuming and integrating the DNA and chakra of other lifeforms, they are changing their destiny. However, a Karma only copied the genetic makeup of the person at that time it was created. Meaning any transformation done afterwards after eating any number of fruits would be digressed, wasting hundreds or thousands years of effort. Unless they constantly create a new vessel each time they transform. But a suitable vessel was hard to find, and our clansmen weren't like humans. We reproduce little, and every 'servant' was still a precious resource to be used as vessels.

If I had planted a Karma before I ate the Divine Fruit, after I died, I would be resurrected as my past weak self. Only in special circumstances would we implant the Karma, expecting death in a short period of time. The newest implanted karma will take precedence. And those given Karma are given status just below the original body due to their genetics transforming, which makes them rise in status from a servant to a higher one. Leaving many Karma behind means disturbing the hierarchy among our clan, creating wastage of body for Karma implantation as well.

'Ha. So complicated. A clone is just a clone. Even if it's a new life.'

We have our own understanding and morals, Tsuyu.

'Hm. I understand.' 

Otsutsuki may view other lifeforms like chickens and dogs. But among themselves, they see each other as how fellow humans see other fellow humans. Between similar status Otsutsuki, their moral lines weren't that different compared to humans.

***

In a few days, a spatial gate opened inside of Tsuyu's home. Kiba was lazing around, shirtless in his shorts with Akamaru watching TV, probably wanting to woo Tsuyu with his manly masculine abs and pecs secretly.

Though Tsuyu just cast him a glance not caring much. The night was long, that can wait later. It would be a lie to say Tsuyu wasn't wooed.

"I adopted a daughter." She casually threw the sentence.

"W-What?" Kiba sat up, his eyes darted to see a little girl maybe just a little bit younger than Kouga. He wore his shirt quickly, still embarrassed in front of strangers. But what surprised him more was…

A pretty and cute face, silvery hair, and a pair of Byakugan.

"Hey but… isn't she from the Hyuga clan…" Kiba knew how much trouble this would cause. She can't casually adopt someone from another clan!

"I found her on the moon. Much like Toneri Otsutsuki, she was a survivor up there."

"Huh. I see…" Kiba didn't question much since it was true about Toneri. But still, it seemed more suitable for her to be adopted by the Hyuga's… but they couldn't really fight Tsuyu.

"Hey… kid, what's your name?" Kiba had a soft expression, revealing a grin.

She looked at Tsuyu, wondering what she should say.

"Let's give her a new name. She would want to live a new life."

"...I see. Then… we can use the name we had planned to use if Kouga turned out to be a girl. Mika. How does that sound?" Kiba looked at her.

Mika nodded.

"I will accept the new name."

"Good girl. Mika it is." Kiba grinned, rubbing her head.

Mika had a blank expression on her face, but Tsuyu could tell she felt awkward and embarrassed.

"She needs time to adapt. Give her some space, Kiba."

"Got it, got it. You are welcomed in this family alright? I am sure Kouga would love to have a little sister… hehe, maybe even more siblings…" Kiba looked at Tsuyu longingly.

Tsuyu squinted her eyes, using her eyes as a 'no'. Kouga was already enough. As for Mika, she's an old grandma that had lived for at least a thousand of years. She was more of a friend.

"Where's Kouga?"

"Ah. He's playing with some guys at a local card shop…"

"Him with his cards…" 

***

Kouga was furiously doing his combo, looking a little too excited. He gained the title Little Champion and was among the top players.

"I summon Eye Creature from my deck. Now I am entering the battle phase. The Goddess will attack 4th Raikage A, sending herself to the graveyard while dealing 1000 True Damage. I chain the spell card, Nourishment of Life, banishing the Goddess from the graveyard into Pure Land, I will search Seed of Life from my deck! I chain with the effect of Eye Creature, and send itself to the graveyard to summon the Goddess from the Pure Land! With Seed of Life, I resummon Eye Creature from the graveyard back to the field! With Eye Creature, I activate the Field Spell Sacrificial Temple, sending Eye Creature to the Pure Land and increase the Goddess attack by 1000. Due to Goddess being resummoned she could do another attack this turn!"

"To think you use the Wood Engine with the Goddess deck! How could this be!" The man in front of him looked in despair as he was defeated smoothly.

Kouga giggled happily and came back home with triumph. But he was surprised to find out he got a new little sister!

But her eyes white, her hair silvery, her face was almost too clear, flawless, and there was no makeup at all!

"Mika-chan then… I am Kouga!" 

Mika nodded. 

"Then, pleasure to meet you, n-nii-san." She said it almost awkwardly.

Kouga grinned, his expression almost like Kiba's when he smiled. 

"Great! Hey, want to play a game?"

"A game?"

"Come on!" Kouga led Mika to play with his cards. Not sure if Kaguya could even understand whatever was going on with those… 

Secretly, Kouga used his dojutsu to take a look at Mika. He was inwardly shocked. 

Her chakra was even greater than mine! And why is her chakra colour so similar to mom's, as if they are related too closely?! Wait… Byakugan too… GASP!

Kouga realised it now. For someone to have a chakra level of half-god being like himself, and being too similar with his mom, it must mean she was indeed mom's biological daughter.

Mom cheated on dad and had daughter outside!

Kouga looked left and right, afraid someone knew this secret. 

Dad looks stupid and unreliable. That must be why. It's okay mom! I understand! I will keep it a secret!

Kouga had another misunderstanding about Tsuyu. Perhaps no one would know what he was thinking.

Mika noticed Kouga was scanning her with his eyes. She was helpless about that, not sure how to treat Kouga.

"Come on Mika, use the card effect Curse of Jashin to activate the damage immunity effect…"

Kouga tried to teach Mika or the thousand year old boomer how to play TCG… she definitely got more and more confused.

After some time, Kouga noticed the time, it was already 4pm. It means it's training time.

"Mika, I am going to train with mom now."

"... I am going too."

"What?"

Kaguya knew she was 'weak'. Not in terms of chakra or abilities. But skill. To fight the incoming threat, she realised she needed to learn to use her own power. The fight between Tsuyu, Naruto and Sasuke, even when Hagoromo and Hamura sealed her, proved to her that it wasn't even her chakra amount.

"Why would you want to train Mika-chan? Could it be…"

"You knew the evil gods were coming too?" Kouga's expression and tone were dead serious.

"Evil gods…? You could say they are that…(?)"

"Gasp! Then, we will both protect the Divine Mother! As the Holy Knights of the Goddess, the Silent Judges, we will wield the fragment of our divinity to protect this world!"

"Yes… sure…" Kaguya's eyelids were twitching trying to understand why it was so dramatic.

Mika was dragged into Kouga's antics, while training herself to become a powerful subordinate of Kouga in his secret group, the Order of the Wheel-Heart, Rinshinshō.

"We are both those who escaped the cycle of Samsara, defying the karmic fate as the children of the Divine and the Mortal."

"Remember, your alias will be Moonveil. You will wear this white veil when we are out on our mission! We have to keep our identity a secret, otherwise the enemy may realise mom was hiding herself amongst the mortals!" 

Kouga took out a white blindfold, handing it to Mika. Mika reluctantly wore them. With her perception it wasn't a problem at all.

"As for me, I am…"

"Umbra, the Hollow Moon…"

A black cloak covered his entire body, his blue eyes gazed at the Moon through the window with a serious gaze. 

"The time of turmoil will descend… the Order shall awaken from its slumber… Moonveil, only we, whose fate shattered from the Samsara, could defy them…"

"Yes, Umbra…" Mika walked in a gentle step, elegant and untouched, overlooking the moon through her veil with her hands in the sleeve of her robe.

Kiba was peeking through the door to see whatever they were doing and almost couldn't hold his laughter. Tsuyu had to shut his mouth from saying anything and let them have their fun.
