"Love at first sight... And last." |
July 17
Female
After what seems to be an eternity of slumber underneath her home, Yomi (黄泉) has resurfaced in the village of Sunagakure. Her thoughts are currently jumbled, with several blanks in her memory as if those pieces were intentionally removed. Despite her confusion, she tries to get back to her normal routine while gathering what she can on what has happened to her. She is the current jinchūriki of the Five-Tails.
Appearance
Casual Look
Yomi retained her lean yet strong frame, which can be quite deceiving because of its femininity showcased. She has shown that she can be very nimble and graceful, like a cat, but still deadly and ready to strike, like a viper. She wears a customized short jacket made of unknown material that once was a scarf given to her, said to be made from very durable material. Along with that are a bondage top, a short skirt, black leggings and high heels. She also had her left shoulder tattoo redone, now sporting a number of yellow poppy flowers.
Yomi still dons her usual accessories; the magatama earrings and the beaded bracelets. Recently, she added some striking new pieces to her ensemble. On each of her fingers are sharp, jointed claws made of smooth, polished bone that seem to almost appear like metal, acting like neko-te weapons. They are dangerous as is, but she hinted that she can administer poison through the tips of the claws if she wanted to make her attacks more lethal. She is also seen wearing dark-colored glasses of different styles, usually to hide her eyes from view but more to protect them from the sun.
Personality
“
I am not a bad person, just untamed you see, I mean my soul is, it is where the wild beasts call home.
— L.L.
Yomi still holds back a lot about herself, perhaps something she can never change in her. Her desire to be left alone does contrast with how she presents herself, though she had often mentioned that there is no sin in making one's self presentable, desirable even. While she does not openly admit it, Yomi knows she can be vain in her own way and it shows whenever she takes on a new appearance. She does utilize her looks to manipulate and deceive others to get her own way, so she puts in a lot of effort to make sure she looks her best always.
Untrusting of new people, this woman keeps a close-knit set of people she can safely call as friends. If it was hard to gain her trust before, it is even harder now and prefers to distance herself from others after being betrayed again recently. Yomi does interact normally with people but she keeps it at a civil level, with a little teasing or joking if she is caught in the mood. Other days, she chooses to just stay quiet and listen, only giving her input if needed or asked. If her anger gets triggered, she would not hold back her tongue and will be straight to the point; her words harsh if they have to and are often mixed with curses.
Being new to the concept of guardianship, Yomi is still dealing with the fact that she is now responsible for a child she picked up before in Iwagakure. While she genuinely wishes to be a good teacher and pseudo parent, she has very little knowledge on how to be one, given that she was used to fending for herself almost her entire life. She does make the effort to establish a good relationship with the girl, hoping to gradually gain her trust.
The Story so Far...
Betrayal
There were only few people that Yomi trusts with her life; one can say she can count them with just a single hand. One of those people though, have decided to turn against her; her own wife had been planning her demise all along and finally decided to put that into action during that one fateful night.
"That's right... RUN!"
Devastated by what she heard, Yomi entered into a blind rage with the goal of killing the hunters and her betrayer of a spouse. Entering into full chakra mode, she managed to escape her binds and started to go after those who threatened her life. Her anger made her reckless, which caused her more harm as she went up against several people. Yomi took all the blows but felt nothing, numbed by the fact that she let herself be fooled by the promise of being loved. Knowing that she could lose anytime, she went all out and resorted to using her most guarded ability to finish the job quickly. Yomi managed to kill off almost everyone, though a few managed to escape such a cruel death, one of them being Miyuu, who fled as soon as she began to use that monstrous ability.
Holding onto her consciousness, Yomi used a summon to transport herself out of her captors' hideout to leave. She was battered, bleeding and she swore she can die anytime soon, but her summon was fast enough to get her back in Sunagakure and was immediately given emergency treatment. The woman was confined in the hospital for a week before she was discharged. With a new set of physical wounds and scars on her being and an even more painful one in her heart, Yomi retreated to her home and shut herself out from the world.
Alter's Birth: Change
She barely went out of her home and busied herself in her underground workshop and laboratory, only sending out her avian summons to deliver messages to people if they needed something from her. Yomi declined any companionship during that time and even neglected her responsibilities as a guardian to Meyumi. She did send a living sacrifice with her likeness in her stead to keep an eye on the child, even though she barely kept tabs on both the child and her clone.
Depression soon set in and Yomi's mind became even more plagued with negative thoughts, allowing the corruption within her to successfully overtake her a number of times. Her health also declined since she was too preoccupied with her lab work to the point she barely ate and slept. Feeling the toll on her health, the woman decided to finally test an experimental pod she ahd been working on for several years now. It was a statis pod wherein she would temporarily be subjected to a prolonged slumber, allowing faster recovery while avoiding degeneration of muscles. She slides into the pod and without a second thought, closed it and went to sleep.
As she slept, the corruption had been trying to destroy her continuously but due to her bloodline trait of enhanced regeneration, her death has been kept at bay, even more so that her body is in complete suspension and it was able to focus on healing alone. This cycle went on and on, to the point the taint was not able to keep up and Yomi's body was able to successfully expunge it completely.
However, with her mind at its most vulnerable, it somehow began to do its own purging. Yomi's subconscious mind started erasing several fragments of her memories, mainly of her ex-spouse and those of the times Yomi was with her. It almost felt like a solution to her broken heart but the numerous blanks would be prove to be a hindrance to her later on. During this moment as well, as the time when the woman developed a split personality that simply refers to itself as "Empress".
Yomi was supposed to wake up after a month, but the Empress, having taken over its host's body, decided to continue sleeping while choosing a newer and better appearance for its form. Scouring through all the appearances of the woman's past victims that were stored in a special mask, it chose a combination of "pleasing" traits and surprisingly, Yomi's original eyes during her younger years. Going into statis again, the woman's face and body underwent a drastic, permanent transformation that lasted for almost half a year.
One at a Time
Unaware of what had transpired, Yomi eventually woke up and was surprised to discover she had been out of commission for a much longer period. She was even more shocked to her face had transformed, though she thought of it as a good change. Yomi decided to start over somehow. She prioritized reuniting with Meyumi, knowing that it was the worst mistake she committed during her absence. The child was very hesitant in accepting this "new" Yomi and the woman knew she has to start all over again in gaining the girl's trust. Yomi also had to catch up on what had happened with her businesses, which thankfully survived thanks to her employees. It was easy to get back to the swing of things but apparently, not everyone was fine with the woman's return. Still, she went on her usual transactions until she was back to her old routine.
After a couple of weeks, Yomi had caught up to most of what she had left behind and decided to take a small break to ease her mind. She went out of the village and went to the oasis she once discovered in the past (which she luckily still remembered). Relieved to find the small hut she installed there still intact, she went on to have her day off. She would encounter an odd passerby who called himself Naito who was seemingly lost in the desert. Yomi and Naito's meeting started off at the wrong foot and the two's personalities clash. They were forced to work together at one point when a giant scorpion attacked the oasis, which ended in the arachnid's death and the male getting rather mangled. To show her gratitude (despite her annoyance with him), she patched up Naito and shared a meal with him before deciding to part ways with him. During her preparation though, the man showed a rather unusual behavior towards her and even heard him mumble threatening words, not knowing that Naito was conversing with an entity unseen by her eyes. Taking it as a warning, she fled the area after being warned by Kokuō, not realizing that the host of the Zero-tails was on his way towards Naito.
Kumogakure: Freedom?
Weeks had passed when Yomi received a letter from the most unexpected of people, the Rokudaime Raikage, Koji. She recalled that she had encountered the man before when she pretended to be the bodyguard of her ex-wife; she was there when she accompanied the Tsuchikage to the two Kages' alliance meeting. She never really interacted with him much, aside from giving him a bottle of high-grade sake as a gift which he enjoyed thoroughly as mentioned in the letter. Apparently, the Kumo leader still remembered his brief interaction with "Setsuna Miyazaki" and offered a favor to her if ever she did come by and visit. Given that she has not explored nor stayed in Kumogakure that long, she decided to take a trip there.
Bingo Book entry
The plan almost did not push through when Yomi revealed her dōjutsu to Koji, who apparently harbored a hatred for those who possessed those eyes. To show him that she will not betray him like the others, Yomi immediately summoned her Deva Path, introducing the path as her long-deceased twin sister. The man's belief about how the dead should stay dead clashed with Yomi's own way of mourning, given she has held onto her sibling and parents for far too long to the point she made them into her paths. Relinquishing her control over Setsuna's body, she gave the corpse to the Raikage to be used as a "decoy" to finally erase her record and fake her death as the Silver Empress. The separation, however, was painful for Yomi so she left to deal with her grief in one of Kumo's luxurious inns, drinking the night away.
Waking up the next day for her ended with a bad hangover and her plans to leave Kumo were temporarily put on hold for the next day so she can recover. She got a surprise visit from the Raikage who gifted her with an item from the Tea District. The man intended to patch their relationship after it had a rocky start and even shared the bounty he claimed for turning in the decoy corpse she provided. Thinking it would be a good way to start over, Yomi embraced the freedom she now had and agreed to start things over with Koji. Despite a rather tempting offer of being able to access the man's private library, the woman politely declined his offer and swore that she will earn the right to step inside that place. They soon parted ways, with Koji returning to his job while Yomi went immediately to the village's library to do her research. The man would soon discover more about her and vice versa when she happened to perform in front of a crowd in the local sake house. The two conversed, exchanging stories and throwing questions every now and then, which led to a well-spent time knowing more about each other.
However, Yomi's trip would soon come to its end given that her funds for housing are starting to get drained. She was visited once more by the Raikage, bearing another gift before she departed.
-More to come-
Abilities and Skills
Yomi has improved greatly throughout the years, her prowess as a shinobi getting even better with each new encounter and mission she took on. Still on the road to accumulate more power, she keeps on pushing her limits and discovering new ways to manipulate and master her abilities. After becoming the host of the Five-Tails, Yomi wasted no time in befriending the beast and now, they work as partners and she was able to harness its power to its fullest potential.
Chakra and Physical Prowess
Yomi has been capable of considerable amount of chakra, being the daughter of an Uchiha. Her chakra supply has been bolstered when she was subjected to a series of experiments wherein she was injected with Senju DNA. She did not manifest the clan's Kekkei Genkai, but it made her gain more durability and have more stamina when it comes to the battlefield. She is capable of performing a number of chakra-taxing techniques without much difficulty, though this has some limits. Yomi is also capable of altering her chakra nature as often as she can so she will not be easily tracked down by sensors, a huge aid to her reputation of donning more than a thousand disguises.
As a jinchūriki, Yomi's chakra supply has been greatly bolstered which became a huge advantage for her when it comes to battles. However, despite having this as a trump card, she still chooses to conserve her chakra supply and will only ask for the beast's help if it is really necessary.
She trained herself for close-range combat fighting, demonstrating incredible taijutsu skills combined with equally impressive speed, agility, and dexterity. However, she shows that she is built for speed, easily dispatching opponents quickly so as to save her strength and time. She is capable of immense strength as well. It is shown that Yomi is capable of deadly accuracy, often utilizing senbon or water needles to hit vital points of the enemy.
Intelligence
People say that her knowledge only comes from the books she read during her lifetime, but Yomi's know-how also comes from experience and training with other shinobi she met during her travels. She does not show it, but she is knowledgeable of various subjects that are related to being a ninja, as well as those that are not. The female is a quick learner, her mind quickly processing what was taught to her and she couples it with dedicated focus to attain mastery. Her innate curiosity led her to know more of many things, some on purpose and some on accident.
Yomi possesses a detailed knowledge of the human anatomy after studying the bodies she recovered to make into her Paths, knowing how it works and how she can disable it using minimal effort. This knowledge also lets her be capable of healing injured allies more effectively, knowing what exactly is needed to minimize any more damage or pain for the victim.
She is also capable of thinking quickly in the midst of battle, often showing a calm demeanor despite being under pressure. Yomi analyzes an opponent first, letting the other party throw the attacks first before formulating a counterattack; she never underestimates her enemies and fights with the aim to survive each encounter. She is never one who boasts of her abilities, leaving those she knows in the dark of her capabilities.
Ninjutsu
Nature Transformation
Perhaps one of Yomi's most noticeable power would be her ability to combine water and wind-natured chakra to create Ice Release. This trait was passed onto her by her mother who was a member of the Yuki Clan, giving her access to various ice-based techniques that prove to be deadly once Yomi utilized them.
After training with Silence of Kirigakure, Yomi gained the ability to use soap bubble (しゃぼん玉, shabondama) Water Release ninjutsu. With her bubble pipe, Yomi's bubbles have shown an explosive property as seen with her Water Release: Bubbles Technique which themselves can explode on contact with the target or be manipulated to explode all at once by the user. This style of ninjutsu is shown to be very versatile. Capable of tactics beyond simply harming opponents, the bubble technique grants Yomi a wide array of offensive and defensive options in combat. With the Explosive Bubble technique — an example of an offensive skill, Yomi emits streams of explosive bubbles that detonate at will. She can also craft dozens of ink-filled bubbles that can immobilize and kill opponents instantly without leaving any trace of them, another offensive variation. Defensively, the bubbles are equally adaptable. Using the Water Release: Bubbles Technique — Drift, Yomi can transport and conceal herself simultaneously. She can also create an enormous bubble barrier to protect herself or her allies from attacks like an explosive tag.
Also, to an extent, Yomi is able to manipulate sand after observing a former Kazekage while using it. She has come up with a number of techniques using sand, but has a long way to go before she can truly master it. She also managed to learn one Wood Release jutsu through the help of a scroll. This is probably the only clear proof that Yomi has Senju DNA in her body.
Dōjutsu
Sharingan
This dōjutsu grants Yomi multiple enhanced visual powers, being able to observe and differentiate the flow of chakra, perceive everything within her sight with great detail and from that, accurately predict nearly all of a person's movements. She can also perfectly mimic a person's movements and copy their techniques into her own arsenal, provided she is physically conditioned for it, or else she risks greatly exhausting her body. Her Sharingan can also cast powerful genjutsu through eye-contact, able to easily hypnotize targets to restrict movements, relay recorded memories, apply deceptive hallucinations. Defensively, Yomi can repel an enemy's technique that attacks her own mind. Her resourcefulness and precise timing with her illusions can easily catch her opponents off-guard.
Mangekyō Sharingan
Yomi awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan after witnesssing her twin sister's death at the hands of the Nadeshiko kunoichi. The tomoe of her Mangekyō spread towards the edge, forming a three-pronged circular wheel. Using her right eye, she can cast unquenchable black flames to where she focuses her eye on with Amaterasu. With the same eye, she can manipulate these flames and even extinguish them at will. With her left eye, she could use Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu that trapped opponents' minds in an illusory world, altering their perception of time to make seconds of torture seem like days.
Yomi's New Susanoo
After the transplant, Yomi became one of the few people who has mastered the Mangekyō abilities, thus giving her the capability of invoking Susanoo, the development of this rooted to the emotions she felt whenever she was reminded of the tragic deaths of her mother and twin sister. At first, her Susanoo was only made up of a green skeletal frame, which eventually evolved into an armored warrior. Only after a lot of hard work and perseverance did she manage to perfect it, giving it a full body form. When using Susanoo, Yomi is able to protect herself with its ribcage, fire arrows made of Amaterasu flames and even act as an extension of herself and any weapon she is wielding. Recently, her Susanoo's color changed to that of a bluish hue with a faint purple sheen.
Rinnegan
Yomi's Mangekyō Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan when she was training herself in the past. The unexpected change was supposedly triggered by the dormant Senju DNA that was injected into her system long ago when she was still in Otogakure. Unlike the usual purple sclera, her Rinnegan is green which makes it different from other Rinnegan wielders. It is unknown whether this is a mutation or just another variation of the Rinnegan. Her eyes changed colors once more after her period of statis and it changed to the color of gold, which was her original eye color when she was much younger. Her skill in the various types of ninjutsu was due to this dōjutsu and the foreign DNA allowed her to wield its powers without much strain on her body.
The greatest advantage of the Rinnegan was the access it gave Yomi to all of the Six Paths Techniques: the gravitational powers of the Deva Path; the menagerie of summons available to the Animal Path; the limitless absorptive potential of the Preta Path; the control over others' souls with the Human Path; the different options of mechanisation in the Asura Path; access to the King of Hell through the Naraka Path. She can easily use any of these abilities or use her Paths.
The one branch of Six Paths Techniques that Yomi reserved for herself was that of the Outer Path. Yomi can summon black receivers into which she can channel her chakra and use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive the dead. She still has access to her Mangekyō Sharingan abilities despite having the Rinnegan.
Six Paths of Pain
Though she barely uses them, Yomi has made six paths of her own. Each with their respective powers that aids her during battle. When they are not in use, the female keeps them sealed in a special kind of scroll designed to hold each Path. It is also the same scroll that kept the corpses from rotting away completely before they are made into Paths.
Yomi's Deva Path
Deva Path - Setsuna, Yomi's twin sister became her Deva Path after her death. Yomi kept her body sealed within a special scroll, along with her mother and father. Yomi had to remove Setsuna's eyes so she can transplant them into her own to keep herself from going completely blind. Upon turning into one of Yomi's paths, she gains the Rinnegan in both eyes. As a path, it is able to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces and is considered to be Yomi's most powerful Path.Yomi gave her sister's body to the Rokudaime Raikage to be taken to the bounty office so she can fake her death and erase her criminal records.
Yomi's Asura Path
- Asura Path - Jirō, Yomi's father became her Asura Path upon death. He died of natural causes and was sealed into a special scroll like his wife and other daughter. Jirō is a member of the Uchiha Clan and is skilled in ninjutsu. When was turned into a path, it is able to summon mechanized armor, augmenting its body with extra limbs and various robotic weaponry.
Yomi's Human Path
- Human Path - Natsumi, Yomi's mother became her Human Path after dying. Out of all the bodies Yomi had to preserve for making her Paths, her mother's corpse was the most battered of all because of the brutality of her murder at the hands of the Nadeshiko shinobi. Yomi had to reconstruct her body to make her decent in appearance. As a path, it has the ability to read the mind of any target by placing its hand on the target's head or chest and yanking the soul out of the body. Though it provides intel by getting well guarded secrets, the technique inevitably kills the target. Yomi often uses it to dispatch of enemies quickly, yet is considered her most fragile Path.
Yomi's Animal Path
- Animal Path - A female killed by Usotsuki during the time when she and Yomi fled Sakuragakure. According to the other woman, she proved to be a difficult foe, putting up a good fight before Usotsuki managed to slash her throat open, causing her death. Her body was one of the two corpses given to Yomi in exchange for the basic knowledge of a certain jutsu. As a path, it has the ability to summon various animals and creatures to aid Yomi in battle.
Yomi's Preta Path
- Preta Path - A man killed by Usotsuki during the time when she and Yomi fled Sakuragakure. According to the other woman, the man was a farmer who happened to panic when Usotsuki passed by, seeing her kill those around her. He was killed by a quick blow to the head. His body was one of the two corpses given to Yomi in exchange for the basic knowledge of a certain jutsu. As a path, he has the ability to absorb chakra in any form using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal.
Yomi's Naraka Path
- Naraka Path - On her way back to Suna, Yomi was confronted by this man and tried to kill her for the bounty placed upon her head. After a long battle, she managed to kill him by fatally stabbing him twice. This man was a missing-nin and proved to be highly skilled in using lightning-based jutsu. Yomi turned him into one of her paths and is granted two main abilities: interrogation and restoration, by using the King of Hell.
Shikotsumyaku
Yomi inherited this Kekkei Genkai from her mother, allowing her to manipulate her own skeletal structure as a means of combat. Specifically, it allowed her to manipulate her osteoblast and osteoclast cells, which are responsible for building or breaking down bone tissue. This ability gave her absolute control over the concentration of calcium within her bones, allowing her to control the density or malleability of them. It is said that Kaguya bones are stronger than tempered steel. Yomi uses this ability to utilize her bones as weapons in battle, and could use them in the form of taijutsu attacks (called dances) to give her various abilities, as well as grant her a near-invincible defense. She can also grow an entire forest of gigantic bone blades, and even merge with one of them to climb out from underground, allowing a deadly sneak attack.
However as a downside, Yomi has a different bodily structure than others. There had been too little information on the Kaguya Clan to give any medical treatment for their illnesses. It is said that some sicknesses trigger different symptoms in a Kaguya Clan member.
Touch of Corruption
She managed to eradicate the corruption from her body after she underwent a long period of slumber; however, given that she has been harboring the taint for far too long in her system, it seemed to have been integrated into her system and changed her from the inside. While she still has access to the abilities, there would be times when she would become unstable and a new persona of hers takes over without warning.
Master of Disguises
Living up to her moniker as the person who donned a thousand disguises, Yomi is capable of taking on an entirely different identity whenever she wanted. Using the Kedōin Clan's advanced form of the Transformation Technique, she is able to deceive many people and even avoid being caught of numerous occasions. Since she is able to copy other people's techniques with her Sharingan and alter her chakra signature on a whim, her disguises are often so effective that no one has really come to know who she really is. This used to require Yomi to kidnap people and hide them away while keeping them alive so she can re-copy their appearances, but she was able to push through the limits of this technique. She is now able to "store" the appearances she copied in her special mask and use these various disguises anytime she wanted.
It was through this next-level mastery her other persona was able to choose from a vast number of looks to come up with her current appearance. It has become Yomi's default identity.
Work in Progress
Trivia
- During the time she resurfaced and began catching up with her connections, one of her "patrons" was not too pleased with her reappearance and betrayed her by divulging her identity to the people in charge of updating Bingo Book entries. His actions were found out by Yomi's personnel and they assassinated the man immediately while also attempting to undo what he did.
- A total wipe of Yomi's information was unsuccessful and only a few of the details were withdrawn. Her current appearance now appears in her Bingo Book entry, making her easier to trace.
- Yomi still has no idea this happened and her employees are hesitant to tell this because they are too scared of what could happen if she found out.
- Her recent tattoo of yellow poppies represents a lot of things for Yomi. The flower has a variety of meanings including:
- Sleep - The temporary statis she went through recently; it can also signify eternal sleep or death, which Yomi has inflicted upon many of her victims.
- Imagination - Yomi often lets her mind run free which allows her to achieve several things in life. Be it for creating new techniques and even thinking on the spot on what to do, her wild thoughts can be thanked for this.
- Sacrifice - While most people do not see her as selfless, this actually refers to own struggle with the taint within her while trying to function normally when it puts herself at a very high risk of losing herself or worse, dying. It is all for the sake of giving aid when she can despite her own inner turmoil.
- Remembrance - It may have been years since her family has left for the afterlife, but Yomi has never forgotten about them. Even up until now, she cannot bear to let go of them as her Paths, showing how much her parents and sibling mean to her.
- Regeneration - Yomi may have been beaten down by the trials of life before, but she always have come out stronger and better. Getting over struggles feels like being reborn each time for Yomi.
- As a former thief, Yomi has a number of unique items (specifically weapons) in her stash, most of them from the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
- She absolutely abhors traveling via anything that involves Space–Time Ninjutsu. Yomi apparently gets dizzy to the point she feels sick when she gets warped into the jutsu until she gets out of it. She does not know why this happens, but she simply avoids it and travels using her avian summons instead.
- Yomi's sexual preferences are ambiguous, as she has taken on both male and female lovers in the past. Her relationships do not last long given her mercurial attitude when it comes to her partners. It is unknown whether the female had actually fallen in love with any of her lovers, even those she was with for a considerable length of time.
- According to data books:
- Yomi's hobbies are traveling, reading books and scrolls and discovering new things (particularly jutsus).
- Yomi did not disclose who she wants to fight.
- Her favorite food is Sukiyaki while her least favorite is boiled cabbage.
- Her favorite words are "wisdom" (若那, jakuna) and "enigma" (謎, nazo)
- Yomi has completed a total of 157 official missions in total: 21 D-rank, 34 C-rank, 67 B-rank, 25 A-rank, 10 S-rank.

Appearance
“
I had taken on numerous identities I almost forgot who I am...
— Yomi
She prefers to wear anything that she considers comfortable; she usually dons clothes in dark shades and is mainly concerned about her ease of movement and being able to stay hidden more easily when during assassination missions. The Dokudaija, her primary weapons, would be hidden in a large wooden canister strapped on her back. Yomi also wears black fingerless gloves on both her hands when sent out on missions.
This female wears a number of accessories on her body, including a pair of magatama-shaped earrings and several beaded bracelets on her right wrist; she seems to use these for sealing techniques. She also has an ANBU tattoo on her right bicep and a flowering vine of yellow Japanese Apricot Blossoms inked on her collarbone, left shoulder down to her upper left arm. Her Sasori seal is placed on her right hip.
Personality
"Nothing's free in this world."
Over the years, her mischievous demeanor has lessened and she has matured even more. She shows an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and would often pass the time reading various books and scrolls pertaining to jutsus, weapons and even clan histories. It should also be noted that this woman can be greedy when it comes to money. Yomi experienced poverty in the past and to keep herself from falling into such state again, she swore that she will work hard to earn. She built and handles a restaurant/music bar and a music store to make money while taking on different tasks on the side. She never works for free and will always demand for something in return for her services. Yomi can become curious or interested over something quickly, but once her interest has waned, she will drop it in a heartbeat. Trained in the art of deception and manipulation, she can toy around with people, showing them her good side and would even flirt with them if she has to just to get vital information. However, she seems to favor using force and threats since it often gives her quick results.
A part of her that she often tries to conceal is her intense lust for battle. Her Kaguya blood often calls her to fight and she will fight on sheer instinct alone, to the point that she completely ignores the dangers of rushing aimlessly towards the enemy. Also, Yomi is not one who forgets about the past easily and will often hold onto memories, no matter how painful it is for her.
She likes to travel around a lot and learn new things about other villages. However, she does not associate herself with anyone or anywhere, not wanting to feel rooted to one location. This female values her freedom above all else.
History
Origins
Natsumi, a Kaguya-Yuki hybrid woman living in the female-dominated Nadeshiko Village was expecting the birth of her twins in a few months' time. The father was not with the woman, given that not many males were allowed to step into the village. Just as soon as her belly began to swell, Natsumi knew she had to stay hidden from the world so as not to raise suspicions. Given her high status in the village, her wish to stay within the confines of her home was granted and she was attended by her most trusted and loyal servant. She gave birth to healthy twins girls and was immediately escorted out in secret to go to the home of the girls' father in Kirigakure. Their father was a ninja named Jirō, an Uchiha male who resided there. He anxiously waited for his lover's arrival when Natsumi sent him a message that she will be coming over.
The two met each other when their paths crossed one day, which led to a heated, violent battle between two skilled warriors with the victory going to the Uchiha. Natsumi, defeated and shamed, vowed to marry Jirō, however, the male did not want to force her to be wed to him just because of their tradition. He asked her to live with him so she can learn to at least get used around him, to which she agreed. The two were total opposites of each other, but this paid off for eventually, they learned to get along and fall in love in the end.
However, Natsumi had to go back to her village, knowing that she still had duties there. She vowed to come back to him in time, which was heartbreaking for Jirō. He understood and promised in return that he will wait for her... and return to him she did, bearing in her arms his children.
The Twins: Knowing who You are
Yomi and Setsuna would soon come to realize their ties to their father's clan when the family went out to fish. Everything was going well until they wandered off from their campsite and stumbled upon a large black bear. Their lives were in peril and were scared, however, they stood their ground and tried their best to not get killed. They were found by their worried mother and father and from there they activated their Sharingan.
With this event, Jirō had to train them of his clan's techniques. The girls picked up easily on his teachings, however, they seem to have more inclination towards the icy affinity instead of the usual fire affinity of the Uchiha, which would a part of their mother's lineage. Hand in hand, both of them trained the twins until they were able to fully master their abilities and mature their Sharingan. Their new skill sets helped them pass the rank up exams and they both earned Jōnin rank by the age of 13.
Hunted: An eye for an eye
During one of their B-ranked missions, Yomi and Setsuna were suddenly halted by a group of kunoichi who began to pursue and attack them. The twins tried to evade their assaults while trying to find out why they were doing this. The kunoichi group then revealed themselves to be part of Nadeshiko Village, the village where their mother came from. Their mother apparently killed one of the kunoichi when she fled and they have tracked her down for the crime she did. They planned to take revenge by killing off Natsumi and her entire family.
Setsuna's Mangekyō Sharingan
That scene was witnessed by Yomi, who just became conscious during that time. She remained still until the kunoichi were gone and when she was left, Yomi crawled over to her sister's corpse and wept as she held Setsuna close. The trauma was too much that she too awakened her own Mangekyō Sharingan. She carried her twin sister's body back to Kirigakure, only to be struck with the news that their mother was also killed by the group while they left Jirō incapacitated, lucky to be barely alive.
Yomi's Mangekyō Sharingan
Otogakure: New Skills and Experimentation
Jirō and Yomi soon stumbled upon Otogakure where they were granted passage. The Uchiha male worked as a farmer in the rice paddies while Yomi worked as a messenger for those in the office of the Otokage. She delivered parcels and scrolls to various places and villages, earning just enough for her and her father during that time.
She was training by her lonesome during one of her days off when a man came to notice her skills, praising her highly. Cautious about the male's intentions, Yomi tried to leave until she was offered to train under him. He revealed himself as a member of the Kedōin Clan, a clan known for their ability to copy another person's appearance so well it cannot be detected even by ninken. He also offered her a job to become a spy which pays a lot but entails danger if it did not go well. Blinded by the promise of money, Yomi agreed.
Yomi secretly trained with the man for months and soon, she was able to master their technique. By then, she was gathering information from villages and clans under several disguises, getting them for high-paying clients. She was able to sustain their living for a good while until her father passed away due to illness and old age; Yomi was on her own now. His corpse would be the next body she sealed away. Free to do whatever she wanted, the female resorted to doing high-risk jobs like robbery and assassinations to keep the money flowing into her pockets.
Yomi after being beaten up
Despite not manifesting the ability to use Wood Release, the injected DNA did boost Yomi's chakra reserves and gave her high durability and stamina compared before. She became a weapon and was allowed to join the ranks of the Otogakure ANBU at the age of 16. She utilized this new improvement, however, she also overused her eyes, making her eyesight blur overtime. She was given the option of finding spare eyes to be implanted in place of her own, when she remembered keeping her sister's body. She extracted her sister's eyes then handed them over to the doctors for them to implant into her sockets and finally, after recovering, Yomi was able to see the world in an entirely new light and this led her new oculars to evolve into Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Sunagakure: Temporarily Settled
Wanting to explore more of the world, Yomi left Otogakure and set out on a journey that led her to a lot of places. She passed through many minor villages and stayed there for a week or two before leaving once more on the road. Her aimless journey led her finally to the Land of Wind where she sought entrance to the village of Sunagakure. At first, she was intrigued by the rich history of the village and the surrounding desert. Here, Yomi's interest was piqued and she decided to give the place a shot.
The acting Kazekage that time soon called upon her and asked about her background, which she elaborated. With her skills in information gathering and disguise, the acting Kazekage gave her a mission to go to Amegakure to obtain knowledge about a man who was banned from Sunagakure and his reasons for trying to wreck havoc in the village. Yomi apparently obtained more than just this information and found out about a plan to take the Ichibi from Suna; she went back and relayed the vital message to the Kazekage, who warned the Jinchūriki to stay within the village walls.
Due to her service to Suna, Yomi was appointed to become its Village Ambassador, but this title was merely a disguise for her to spy on other villages whenever she was to be sent out. She also got a part-time job at the Grand Library as an archivist and assistant to its elderly librarian, Yabu. She gained access to various tomes and scrolls to which she studied thoroughly while Yabu, despite his cranky attitude, taught her how to speak and write the ancient language that was once used by the people of Al-Kahtar. He also allowed her to sign and take the contract with his old summons, the Jackals. The female also spearheaded the construction of a shop which she will be using for her planned business.
Yomi's Rinnegan
Progress was gradual, but the female began to master the Rinnegan's abilities one by one. However, she realized she needed more to unlock her dōjutsu's full capabilities. During this time, she stumbled upon top secret information about an organization in the village, the Mutsu Sabaku Sasori. Her curiosity piqued, she went to the Godaime Kazekage and inquired about this piece of information. Her questions were met with positive answers and that the group does exist which urged her to know more, expressing the desire to join their ranks. The Kazekage approved of her application but warned her to keep this a secret, to which she agreed.
Yomi was not exactly a patient woman, but despite the slow progress in their testing, she waited for any word from the group since she wanted to at least try working with other people, even though she was known to be more of a loner. However, due to the painfully slow pace of the time the test took, the kunoichi took on a few sidelines until she grew bored and she knew that she will not be able to achieve the full potential of her abilities if she remained idle. She packed her bags one day, halted the construction of her underground bar and left the village to travel once more, not knowing whether she will come back or not.
Kirigakure: Business is Open
Yomi traveled from place to place, not knowing where to go. She stayed for a week at the most in one location and would be on the move once more. She also never wore the same disguise twice, taking on several identities to keep people from knowing too much about her. The woman soon felt the need to pause in her journey and stopped where she grew up, in Kirigakure. She went back to her old home, which she discovered was no more, so she had to find somewhere else to live... though she thought of something else. With her vast riches, Yomi bought an abandoned five-storey building and with the help of workers, it was transformed into her home and a place for business. She opened a music bar and named it The Diabolical to make it interesting and as she had predicted, it became a famous location in the Misty village, sending more money into her pockets.
The woman made it a goal to continue training; she met with someone and asked if she can learn more techniques from her. Indeed, Yomi got what she wanted and even signed a summoning contract. During her stay, she stumbled upon an underwater temple that housed the various documents belonging to the Yuki Clan, a clan in the village that was said to have been wiped out. Seeing how valuable this find was, she placed several seals and powerful genjutsu in the temple to keep it hidden until she can study and inspect it further. In the end, she felt the call of the road once more, opting her to leave Kirigakure again to seek out adventure while taking jobs on the side. She does keep in touch with her mentor, just in case.
Iwagakure: Blank Period
The events stated here have been undisclosed before due to Yomi's memories of this period being sealed away.
The job was to eliminate a certain individual at Iwagakure though it was a risky job because of said person's immense skill in using the earth to her advantage. Calculating the possible risks, Yomi bargained for the price to go higher and they did, raising the bounty money to almost double the original amount. Satisfied by the possible reward, she set out for the Land of Earth and soon arrived in the hidden village. She looked around and asked the locals about some information about her target, only to discover that person she will have to assassinate was the Shodai Tsuchikage. That information made the woman even more worried, but proceeded to go through with the job, pushed on by the rewards she may get.
Finding her target wandering alone and without any bodyguards, Yomi tried to be subtle in her attack, but was immediately detected due to the Shodai's dōjutsu, something she was not informed of. The lack of information from her sources put her to a disadvantage and she knew she bit off more than she can chew. She tried her best to fight the other woman but lost badly, resulting in her being captured by the local ANBU.
Captured
She would soon get occasional visits from Miyuu, an odd thing for her to do since most people would rather forget the person that just got their punishment for being a threat to their lives. The kind kage would be met with silence or the occasional whispered curses, with Yomi knowing that she cannot do anything while she is behind bars. The visits would continue on, until slowly, the Tsuchikage managed to break through the other female's cold exterior and Yomi began to speak to her little by little. Unconsciously, on the criminal's side, she was getting to used to Miyuu's presence and looked forward to her visits.
One day, a very surprising and shocking order was made by the Tsuchikage; Yomi was to be let out of jail to be allowed to talk to Miyuu face to face. It was a shock to Yomi as well, for a criminal who once plotted to kill Miyuu would never be permitted near her, ever. But the order was pushed through and the two were able to talk normally like any other, with Yomi going back to jail at the end of their session. It almost looked like the kage was pushing her luck since the sessions outside of prison became more frequent and even got to the point where Yomi was allowed to walk around Iwa alongside Miyuu and a good number of bodyguards keeping a close eye on the two. Their frequent periods of being together stirred feelings from the Murasaki Sasori and it scared her, knowing that what she felt will be unrequited. Who would even want to be with a criminal anyway? Yomi ended up hiding what she felt until the time Miyuu decided to pardon her for her sins.
Just as she was being escorted out of the village, the former criminal decided to admit what she felt for Miyuu, being sure that they will never cross paths ever again. When she did, by whispering it discreetly before she turned on her heel, Miyuu stopped her and she got a hushed word from the Tsuchikage telling her to come visit her that night in her house. Nightfall came and Yomi had reluctantly went, instantly regretting she told Miyuu, only to be relieved when the Kage, once behind closed doors, admitted her own feelings for the Murasaki Sasori.Yomi stayed with the woman until one day, they decided to tie the knot in secret.
However, Miyuu knew she cannot hide Yomi forever from the world, so despite her reluctance to do so, she locked away all the Murasaki Sasori's memories of their marriage with a special seal only she can break. She took her then unconscious lover to the edge of the Land of Earth, marking her with a tracker, and left her just before Yomi stirred. While there is a huge blank in her memories, the female moved on the road.
Change of Plans: Takeover
Yomi stayed out of the radar for months although she did go back to her thieving ways and shady business due to the fact that she craved danger every once in a while. Her travels made her stumble upon a lesser known village called Sakuragakure that aims to put itself on the map along with the other minor villages. Seeing it as a nice place to take a break from work, the woman stays there for meantime.
Despite how promising Sakuragakure was, Yomi thought that it was far too perfect and too peace-loving that it was too good to be true, making one person think about the need for any shinobi in the place. Her opinion on this was shared by another person who also took the time to visit the area. After a rather cautious meeting and a brief discussion, Yomi and Usotsuki formed a temporary 'alliance' to overthrow the leader and replace her completely to change the ways of this peace-loving village. Plans were thought out carefully and were soon in motion, although they were met with some drawbacks in a few things which they managed to brush off.
The two women met again in a cave where Yomi stayed for a while to seek shelter from the rain. They briefly discussed about how they will be able to keep themselves from being caught: there was the option to fight, although Yomi told Usotsuki that she would not bother herself with such people and will send someone else to take the fall for her. This eventually led to her revealing a technique that could make an elaborate copy of one's self to Usotsuki and teaching her the basics of it, in exchange for the bodies the woman brought with her; Yomi wanted the corpses for the purpose of almost completing her Paths.
They soon parted ways, not hoping that they will meet again.
The Sands: In Service of Sunagakure
Yomi had been wandering the land while going back to Kirigakure every once in a while. In her aimless travels, she found herself in a relationship with shrine priestess although theirs became a long-distance one. The woman also contacted a male who gave her a scroll of techniques which she can learn.
This was also when felt that something was happening to her body again; her bones were somehow moving beneath her skin and were trying to puncture through her flesh. It was uncomfortable and she needed to find out what was going on with her so this pushed her to come back to Sunagakure to research on her condition and also on other jutsus. It was also during this time when she found herself hanging around with a former Kazekage doing casual things like drinking and having fun. She managed to observe his ability to manipulate sand and wished to learn how to do it as well; however, it proved to be a difficult task and only managed to manipulate it to a very limited extent. Still, it was already an accomplishment for Yomi and vowed to improve on this ability on the days to come. She also resumed the building of her shop and soon opened it to the public.
Their numbers dwindled after the earth dragon proved to be hard to overpower. Yomi tried to take away the control of the beast from Jaevon, at the expense of her being bombarded with her worst fears and painful past because of the corruption it carried with it. The woman was rendered unable to fight for a moment but she managed to overcome it, though it still plagued her mind. After most of the defenders focused on Jaevon, she was left to deal with the giant threat by using the Rinnegan's summoning ability; she summoned a giant centipede and then a giant ox which successfully ended the beast's rampage in Suna. All the high level jutsus she cast drained her chakra to a dangerously low level and had to sit out the rest of the fight. Fortunately, she was found by one of the Kiri nins and was soon taken to safety. She took the time to recover her strength completely.
Scorpion Claws, Scorpion Stings
Yomi was back to her normal routine and was soon contacted by the Nanadaime Kazekage for a solo mission in the desert. She was to hunt down and kill a giant desert scorpion without the use of chakra, which was a rather odd request but she accepted. The woman accomplished the task and was brought by one of Chusaki's hare to a secret meeting area where he revealed that it was a test to become one of the Sasori, a goal Yomi once had in the past. She was initiated in the group and received the mark of the Scorpion that day, making her the new Murasaki Sasori.
It was not long until the Kazekage called all the Sasori in a secret meeting, giving Yomi the opportunity to know the rest of the group. Chusaki also gave them each a mission to which the Sasori was divided into teams. She was grouped with Silver and Maya, tasked to rescue Hiro, the son of Jaevon, who was kidnapped by the ghost named Serean. The three met by the Leviathan carcass, which gave the Murasaki and Midoriiro Sasori a chance to obtain some ores on the beast's back.
Due to some last minute changes, Silver was tasked with another mission and was forced to be left behind in Suna. He delegated his friend, Yamamoto, to take his place and the group soon left for the desert on one of Yomi's bluebird summons, heading to the far west towards the tainted wastelands.
A Brush with Serean's Corruption
The Wastelands was a truly desolate place; an area of sand that stretched on for miles with no vegetation growing due to how much the corruption has affected the landscape. They encountered tainted creatures along the way, including a swarm of ravens, towering titans and treants that made the start of the mission difficult. Despite this setback, they arrived at the tomb where Serean stayed. Passing through corridors, the group had to separate to cover more ground as they looked for Hiro. Yamamoto, Maya and her daemon, Rikumaru, who happened to appear to aid the group at their initial brush with the creatures, came across the sarcophagus room while Yomi took another route and found the boy in one of the air ducts of the temple.
Yomi managed to take the boy and render him unconscious without drawing attention to herself but when Maya tried to reach out towards the others through telepathy, it became a clear beacon to Serean which caused the corruption to awaken in the tomb and attack Yamamoto's group. The Murasaki Sasori was about to meet up with the rest when she heard the ghost speak to her and tempt her with the offer of unimaginable power. It even "appeared" before her as a vision; it was a vision of her having this power, only this version of her looked more sinister. Knowing that this offer would not come for free, the female fled but was bombarded with angry voices and visions within her head.
She met up with Yamamoto and the others and they fled along with Hiro. Even during their departure, Serean was not going to let them go easily, for he has summoned forth a dragon to chase them down. They saw an opportunity to escape the beast whenof the titans crossed paths with them, leaving the two behemoths to deal with each other as they made their way back to Suna. Serean, not pleased with the outcome, sent forth his weapon, a spear, to try and do things himself.
They arrived at Suna safe and sound, but the evil spirit's spear came hurtling towards Suna, threatening to destroy the village. With the joint efforts from the Sasori and Jaevon, they managed to divert the spear's trajectory and have it crash against the village's walls instead. Hiro's struggle with the taint was not over though, for havoc broke lose when he began to scramble towards the spear and the taint began to cause confusion in Suna once more. Yomi was able to keep him from getting to the spear by trapping him in a variation of the Bubble Dome technique and it was then the taint was forced out of the boy, giving her the opportunity to eradicate it. This small victory came with a price though, for Maya succumbed to the taint and fled the scene.
Possessed
She wrecked havoc and panic in the village, showing a new ability that stemmed from the original corruption itself, dehydrating innocent bystanders and causing the ground and some buildings to crumble to dust just from being touched by her hands. Defenders came to stop her, the Nanadaime Kazekage, a female newcomer and her fellow Sasori, Chinote and Silver; they exchanged blows and tried to subdue the woman, though the taint was having too much fun with its newly-found host. Little did it know that Yomi was starting to regain control over her body once more. In an attempt to make it stop, the Murasaki Sasori inflicted damage onto herself so that the taint can no longer use her as a vessel for destruction.
With the possession now ceased, Kokumu performed first aid on the female while Yomi was questioned by the others on why she suddenly snapped. She relayed her explanation and was let off the hook, to which she went to the Sunagakure Medical Center where she sought the aid of a medic-nin for her condition. The corruption proved hard to remove because it seeped into her bones completely, putting her in greater risk if it was removed from her system. Deciding to live with it for now, Yomi left the hospital to recuperate with the determination to know more about her current situation.
Haktyl: Road to Recovery and Host Status
Yomi stayed in her home and slowly recovered, her time there spent on researching and gradually training herself to deal with this new but slumbering entity within her. During this period, she was visited by the Goblin King, Hobbygobby and he offered to make her unique weapons in exchange for rare materials which came in the form of the precious ores she extracted before on the Leviathan's back. In the end, she was given a special pair of dagger-like swords. The goblin also offered her a drink that allowed her to delve deep into her memories, only for her Sasori seal to pulsate and show her visions of the distant past, back when Sunagakure was still being founded. She pondered on these visions and one night, she was visited by the Nidaime Kazekage in her dreams where they exchanged information about Serean. It was then Kayenta asked Yomi about who she really was after the Murasaki Sasori began to doubt herself. Having gotten a positive response, the Nidaime divulged information about a hidden enclave where the female can momentarily visit to get away from the stressful life of a shinobi and even gave her a talisman to ensure a safe passage there. How the talisman got around Yomi's neck when she awakened was still a mystery to her.
Her quiet moments at home would then be interrupted by the arrival of the Kazakage, when he asked her about her experiences with Serean. She offered what she can and they soon departed to meet with a couple of visitors, specifically a man from the Nara clan of Konohagakure and the woman from Kirigakure who saved her before. They had a private meeting in Osa's Underground Sake House with their discussion heating up every once in a while. She was then ordered by Chusaki to send a messenger bird to Konoha, informing the current Hokage of their arrival one of these days. While the idea of traveling tickled her interest, her own condition forced her to stay in Suna so she can recover some more.
However, she was reminded of the possibility of finding rest and answers in Haktyl, which pushed her to cross the desert and find the place. Yomi took off the day after to begin her journey. She traveled across the sands to find the entrance to the enclave and stumbled upon it by accident, but she encountered a patrol of the Haktyl residents, barring her from entering. After blindfolding her, they took her inside while questioning her. When she revealed her purpose for coming to them, they took her to the elders who finally welcomed her to the sanctuary. She stayed and trained with them, allowing her to have more control over her so-called curse a little. They did warn her that she was still far from mastering the taint since Serean will still be able to control her if he managed to take hold of the corruption within her. It was also during this time that she was entrusted with Kokuō, the Five-Tailed dolphin-horse; the women saw that she was more than capable of handling the beast so they sealed it within her.
She was at the end of her stay in Haktyl when the elders introduced to her a teenager named Sayoko. They told her that they found they found her left for dead in the desert and have tried to help her recover from dehydration. However, they cannot help her with regaining her memories back, but perhaps there was someone in Suna who can help. While she was hesitant, Yomi agreed to take Sayoko back with her as a way to say her thanks to them as well. She managed to transport them back to the village and she brought the teenager to the hospital as soon as they arrived. The news with the teen's blindness did not seem good and this was the time when Inū, a fellow Sasori sought her out.
Memories Unsealed: The Wife
Miyuu apparently visited Suna to reforge an alliance to which Chusaki readily said yes to and once the agreement was made, the woman asked for Yomi's presence. Despite his confusion to how Miyuu knew about Yomi, the man summoned his Murasaki Sasori to join them, though the female warned him that she felt something was off with Miyuu. When Yomi arrived at the office, the Shodai Tsuchikage made her move which looked like an act of aggression at first but in reality, she broke the seal via a kiss that suppressed the female's memories of her and their marriage. With the memories quickly coming back, Yomi was able to quickly drop her suspicions and doubts while listening in to their meeting.
Yomi and Miyuu left the Kage Tower in order to catch up. The Sasori woman was taken aback though when her wife revealed that she knew about the ailment in her bones she was currently suffering which pushed their brief meal to halt and their discussion be moved to Yomi's private abode. Despite the slight awkwardness at first, they were able to finally talk about what had transpired while they were apart; this ends up Miyuu knowing more about the Sasori's tainted condition and the risk it poses while Yomi discovered that her wife now possessed a pair of horns and the Tenseigan. They soon left home to go back to Chusaki so Miyuu can take her leave while having some final requests of her own.
Upon arriving getting an audience with the man, Yomi was allowed to accompany her wife in her travels, a positive response Miyuu was hoping for when she asked for permission. They soon left and after picking up some things from her home, the Murasaki Sasori joined the Tsuchikage at the gates and gave Miyuu an item she had in her possession, the Fire Sword, as a gift. After gratefully accepting it, the Iwa leader teleported them out of the village in an instant and reappeared in the Land of Lightning.
They came to the village there, with Yomi donning a disguise and introducing herself under an alias before meeting with the Raikage, Koji. The Tsuchikage soon discussed with him matters regarding the alliance between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, which was approved. The meeting ended and they were given the tour of the village.
During a break for meals, their meeting would be interrupted by the arrival of two guests, Warren and his Konoha resident companion, Anshin. The man would express his need to discuss things with Miyuu about an expedition but the Tsuchikage stated that they will discuss it further once she is done with her task in Kumo. The kunoichi would be surprised when Warren somewhat knew that she can speak Al-Kahtaran, but did not communicate much. Agreeing to Miyuu's deal, the duo left and the Iwa leader decided that it was time to go. After receiving the documents, Yomi would be transported out of the village and instantly taken to Iwagakure.
Readjustments and Deals
She immediately felt uneasy because Miyuu had teleported the two of them in a portion of the building where the Tsuchikage worked. Being a stickler for rules in some way, Yomi felt like she intruded Iwagakure because they did go through the gate.
More to be added soon.
Abilties and Skills
Yomi has been trained to become an effective shinobi, a tool to be used for war. She had been taught by her parents and been under the tutelage of various other people which widened her knowledge in a lot of fighting aspects. Even though she already had much on her belt, she was still hungry for more; more training, pushing her limits and even research was what the female did. She was also captured and turned into a human guinea pig but turned out to be a reject for the Senju DNA strain but she got a small bonus from this experimentation, giving her a bit more edge against others.
Chakra and Physical Prowess
Yomi has been capable of considerable amount of chakra, being the daughter of an Uchiha. Her chakra supply has been bolstered when she was subjected to a series of experiments wherein she was injected with Senju DNA. She did not manifest the clan's Kekkei Genkai, but it made her gain more durability and have more stamina when it comes to the battlefield. She is capable of performing a number of chakra-taxing techniques without much difficulty, though this has some limits. Yomi is also capable of altering her chakra nature as often as she can so she will not be easily tracked down by sensors, a huge aid to her reputation of donning more than a thousand disguises.
She trained herself for close-range combat fighting, demonstrating incredible taijutsu skills combined with equally impressive speed, agility, and dexterity. However, she shows that she is built for speed, easily dispatching opponents quickly so as to save her strength and time. She is capable of immense strength as well. It is shown that Yomi is capable of deadly accuracy, often utilizing senbon or water needles to hit vital points of the enemy.
Intelligence
People say that her knowledge only comes from the books she read during her lifetime, but Yomi's know-how also comes from experience and training with other shinobi she met during her travels. She does not show it, but she is knowledgeable of various subjects that are related to being a ninja, as well as those that are not. The female is a quick learner, her mind quickly processing what was taught to her and she couples it with dedicated focus to attain mastery. Her innate curiosity led her to know more of many things, some on purpose and some on accident.
Yomi possesses a detailed knowledge of the human anatomy after studying the bodies she recovered to make into her Paths, knowing how it works and how she can disable it using minimal effort. She is also capable of thinking quickly in the midst of battle, often showing a calm demeanor despite being under pressure. Yomi analyzes an opponent first, letting the other party throw the attacks first before formulating a counterattack; she never underestimates her enemies and fights with the aim to survive each encounter. She is never one who boasts of her abilities, leaving those she knows in the dark of her capabilities.
Ninjutsu
Nature Transformation
Performing ninjutsu
Perhaps one of Yomi's most noticeable power would be her ability to combine water and wind-natured chakra to create Ice Release. This trait was passed onto her by her mother who was a member of the Yuki Clan, giving her access to various ice-based techniques that prove to be deadly once Yomi utilized them.
After training with Silence of Kirigakure, Yomi gained the ability to use soap bubble (しゃぼん玉, shabondama) Water Release ninjutsu. With her bubble pipe, Yomi's bubbles have shown an explosive property as seen with her Water Release: Bubbles Technique which themselves can explode on contact with the target or be manipulated to explode all at once by the user. This style of ninjutsu is shown to be very versatile. Capable of tactics beyond simply harming opponents, the bubble technique grants Yomi a wide array of offensive and defensive options in combat. With the Explosive Bubble technique — an example of an offensive skill, Yomi emits streams of explosive bubbles that detonate at will. She can also craft dozens of ink-filled bubbles that can immobilize and kill opponents instantly without leaving any trace of them, another offensive variation. Defensively, the bubbles are equally adaptable. Using the Water Release: Bubbles Technique — Drift, Yomi can transport and conceal herself simultaneously. She can also create an enormous bubble barrier to protect herself or her allies from attacks like an explosive tag.
Also, to an extent, Yomi is able to manipulate sand after observing a former Kazekage while using it. She has come up with a number of techniques using sand, but has a long way to go before she can truly master it. She also managed to learn one Wood Release jutsu through the help of a scroll. This is probably the only clear proof that Yomi has Senju DNA in her body.
Dōjutsu
Sharingan
This dōjutsu grants Yomi multiple enhanced visual powers, being able to observe and differentiate the flow of chakra, perceive everything within her sight with great detail and from that, accurately predict nearly all of a person's movements. She can also perfectly mimic a person's movements and copy their techniques into her own arsenal, provided she is physically conditioned for it, or else she risks greatly exhausting her body. Her Sharingan can also cast powerful genjutsu through eye-contact, able to easily hypnotize targets to restrict movements, relay recorded memories, apply deceptive hallucinations. Defensively, Yomi can repel an enemy's technique that attacks her own mind. Her resourcefulness and precise timing with her illusions can easily catch her opponents off-guard.
Mangekyō Sharingan
Yomi awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan after witnesssing her twin sister's death at the hands of the Nadeshiko kunoichi. The tomoe of her Mangekyō spread towards the edge, forming a three-pronged circular wheel. Using her right eye, she can cast unquenchable black flames to where she focuses her eye on with Amaterasu. With the same eye, she can manipulate these flames and even extinguish them at will. With her left eye, she could use Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu that trapped opponents' minds in an illusory world, altering their perception of time to make seconds of torture seem like days.
Yomi's Green Susanoo
After the transplant, Yomi became one of the few people who has mastered the Mangekyō abilities, thus giving her the capability of invoking Susanoo, the development of this rooted to the emotions she felt whenever she was reminded of the tragic deaths of her mother and twin sister. At first, her Susanoo was only made up of a green skeletal frame, which eventually evolved into an armored warrior. Only after a lot of hard work and perseverance did she manage to perfect it, giving it a full body form. When using Susanoo, Yomi is able to protect herself with its ribcage, fire arrows made of Amaterasu flames and even act as an extension of herself and any weapon she is wielding.
Rinnegan
Yomi's Mangekyō Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan when she was training herself in the past. The unexpected change was supposedly triggered by the dormant Senju DNA that was injected into her system long ago when she was still in Otogakure. Unlike the usual purple sclera, her Rinnegan is green which makes it different from other Rinnegan wielders. It is unknown whether this is a mutation or just another variation of the Rinnegan. Her skill in the various types of ninjutsu was due to this dōjutsu and the foreign DNA allowed her to wield its powers without much strain on her body.
The greatest advantage of the Rinnegan was the access it gave Yomi to all of the Six Paths Techniques: the gravitational powers of the Deva Path; the menagerie of summons available to the Animal Path; the limitless absorptive potential of the Preta Path; the control over others' souls with the Human Path; the different options of mechanisation in the Asura Path; access to the King of Hell through the Naraka Path. She can easily use any of these abilities or use her Paths.
The one branch of Six Paths Techniques that Yomi reserved for herself was that of the Outer Path. Yomi can summon black receivers into which she can channel her chakra and use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive the dead. She still has access to her Mangekyō Sharingan abilities despite having the Rinnegan.
Six Paths of Pain
Though she barely uses them, Yomi has made six paths of her own. Each with their respective powers that aids her during battle. When they are not in use, the female keeps them sealed in a special kind of scroll designed to hold each Path. It is also the same scroll that kept the corpses from rotting away completely before they are made into Paths.
Yomi's Deva Path
- Deva Path - Setsuna, Yomi's twin sister became her Deva Path after her death. Yomi kept her body sealed within a special scroll, along with her mother and father. Yomi had to remove Setsuna's eyes so she can transplant them into her own to keep herself from going completely blind. Upon turning into one of Yomi's paths, she gains the Rinnegan in both eyes. As a path, it is able to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces and is considered to be Yomi's most powerful Path.
Yomi's Asura Path
- Asura Path - Jirō, Yomi's father became her Asura Path upon death. He died of natural causes and was sealed into a special scroll like his wife and other daughter. Jirō is a member of the Uchiha Clan and is skilled in ninjutsu. When was turned into a path, it is able to summon mechanized armor, augmenting its body with extra limbs and various robotic weaponry.
Yomi's Human Path
- Human Path - Natsumi, Yomi's mother became her Human Path after dying. Out of all the bodies Yomi had to preserve for making her Paths, her mother's corpse was the most battered of all because of the brutality of her murder at the hands of the Nadeshiko shinobi. Yomi had to reconstruct her body to make her decent in appearance. As a path, it has the ability to read the mind of any target by placing its hand on the target's head or chest and yanking the soul out of the body. Though it provides intel by getting well guarded secrets, the technique inevitably kills the target. Yomi often uses it to dispatch of enemies quickly, yet is considered her most fragile Path.
Yomi's Animal Path
- Animal Path - A female killed by Usotsuki during the time when she and Yomi fled Sakuragakure. According to the other woman, she proved to be a difficult foe, putting up a good fight before Usotsuki managed to slash her throat open, causing her death. Her body was one of the two corpses given to Yomi in exchange for the basic knowledge of a certain jutsu. As a path, it has the ability to summon various animals and creatures to aid Yomi in battle.
Yomi's Preta Path
- Preta Path - A man killed by Usotsuki during the time when she and Yomi fled Sakuragakure. According to the other woman, the man was a farmer who happened to panic when Usotsuki passed by, seeing her kill those around her. He was killed by a quick blow to the head. His body was one of the two corpses given to Yomi in exchange for the basic knowledge of a certain jutsu. As a path, he has the ability to absorb chakra in any form using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal.
Yomi's Naraka Path
- Naraka Path - On her way back to Suna, Yomi was confronted by this man and tried to kill her for the bounty placed upon her head. After a long battle, she managed to kill him by fatally stabbing him twice. This man was a mising-nin and proved to be highly skilled in using lightning-based jutsu. Yomi turned him into one of her paths and is granted two main abilities: interrogation and restoration, by using the King of Hell.
Shikotsumyaku
Yomi inherited this Kekkei Genkai from her mother, allowing her to manipulate her own skeletal structure as a means of combat. Specifically, it allowed her to manipulate her osteoblast and osteoclast cells, which are responsible for building or breaking down bone tissue. This ability gave her absolute control over the concentration of calcium within her bones, allowing her to control the density or malleability of them. It is said that Kaguya bones are stronger than tempered steel. Yomi uses this ability to utilize her bones as weapons in battle, and could use them in the form of taijutsu attacks (called dances) to give her various abilities, as well as grant her a near-invincible defense. She can also grow an entire forest of gigantic bone blades, and even merge with one of them to climb out from underground, allowing a deadly sneak attack.
However as a downside, Yomi has a different bodily structure than others. There had been too little information on the Kaguya Clan to give any medical treatment for their illnesses. It is said that some sicknesses trigger different symptoms in a Kaguya Clan member.
Influence of Corruption
Master of Disguises
Known to be the person who donned a thousand disguises, Yomi is capable of taking on an entirely different identity whenever she wanted. Using the Kedōin Clan's advanced form of the Transformation Technique, she is able to deceive many people and even avoid being caught of numerous occasions. Since she is able to copy other people's techniques with her Sharingan and alter her chakra signature on a whim, her disguises are often so effective that no one has really come to know who she really is. This used to require Yomi to kidnap people and hide them away while keeping them alive so she can re-copy their appearances, but she was able to push through the limits of this technique. She is now able to "store" the appearances she copied in her special mask and use these various disguises anytime she wanted.

*lick*
- Both the sisters' Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan and Yomi's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan design have a counter clockwise swirl pattern instead of the usual clockwise pattern. It is theorized that their mixed lineage may have affected their dōjutsu design.
- Her Bingo Book picture entry is blank because she has been changing her appearance very often that no one really knows what she looks like. It also lacks information about her name, origins and last known location. She is only dubbed as "Black Empress" in certain entries.
