Konan remembered how she first encountered Kiyohime-sama.
Near the end of the Second Ninja War, when she was just a kid, her parents were killed by Suna ninjas for getting food from her house in the Rain country.
While it is a very distant memory, she remembered that her parents were educated, and belonged to what can be called rich in the Rain Village.
She was hidden inside the closet as her parents were murdered. Maybe they were just Genins, that's why they didn't notice her.
After they raided her fridge and rice sticks, they left without any concern.
Konan realised that ninjas don't care about killing people. It is as natural to them as eating food.
She was going to come out to bury her parents, but his back as she saw another ninja come in. A Konoha ninja.
"Those barbarians..."
She had muttered, and then, looked at her direction.
"You can come out now. I assure you. Konoha ninjas don't hurt uninvolved people."
The girl was 5-6 years older than her, but a ninja. Konan knew that if she resisted, she will die a painful death.
So she came out of the closet, and looked at her parents' bodies in horror.
"I am Kiyohime Senju. I am sorry for your loss."
The ninja girl patted her on the back, and created two coffins made of earth with a ninjutsu.
"Do you want me to do it for you, kid?"
Konan had shook her head, but buried her parents herself.
"Please teach me how to be a ninja."
Konan requested, not wanting to feel so powerless again.
"... Alright. But you will have to come to Konoha. I will take you in as my student."
Back then, Konan didn't even know where Konoha was. So she was worried.
"Don't worry. My grandpa created the village. No one will be able to touch you."
She followed Kiyohime-sama, and she gave her some food.
But as she went to Konoha's camp with her, she saw a lot of orphans. And a man came over, glaring at Kiyohime-sama.
"This is Konoha's camp. Not an orphanage-*
"My grandpa created Konoha so that kids can remain safe. Under your command, some Konoha ninjas have raised civilians' houses. You are unqualified to question me, jackass! And I am feeding them from my portion anyway, what does it have to do with you!?
My sister is fighting there against Hanzo, and you, the commander, are relaxing in your tent!? Did my granduncle sacrifice his life by fighting in the frontline for cowards like you!? No wonder you didn't become the Hokage!"
Konan was surprised by how bold Kiyohime-sama was. Even making grown men flinch.
That man, Danzo, left for the battlefield that day, and returned severely injured, with his arm severely injured, and an eye was stabbed.
He lost badly against Chiyo of Suna, abandoning his 20 subordinates that came with him.
"You abandoned your subordinates to flee!? How dare you betray the Will of Fire!? I had enough of you. I am not going to fight under such a weakass and coward commander.
Dan, escort me and hmm, this girl, Konan back to Konoha. And if you want to become the next Hokage, you have to bear the Will of Fire and protect these kids."
She ordered the medical ninja who was treating Danzo, and after some hesitation, he followed her demands.
She and Konan came to Konoha, carried by Dan.
Dan would die two years later, when the Third Ninja War started just a year after the Second Ninja War ended.
Konan has stayed by Kiyohime-sama's side for a long time.
She came to know how her twin brother died due to a conspiracy by the village that her Grandpa created, but was taken over by weak cowards and bastards. They killed a lot of the members of her clan in experiments and providing false information during the missions, and had even looked at the other way when her grandmother's clan was destroyed before the Second Ninja War.
The orphans that she had asked Dan to protect them to prove his capability to become the Hokage one by one disappeared.
Minato, an orphan who she had adopted into the Senju clan, also unknowingly fell prey to Third Hokage's manipulation, and didn't even realise that Kushina, who was like a sister to Kiyohime-sama, was obviously not really kidnapped, but it was a puppet show for her to fall in love with her.
But she approved of Minato, so she only sighed and asked him to protect Kushina.
Both of them died when fake Madara attacked the village. And the Third Hokage didn't sacrifice himself for the younger generation, but instead took over the village again.
Not letting Kiyohime-sama become the Hokage because of a vague reason like 'darkness in her heart'.
Moreover, Minato, the Fourth had made her the Advisory of the Hokage. That position was given to Danzo when Third took over again.
That had completely shattered Kiyohime-sama's belief in Will of Fire, and she left the village after taking back her Granduncle's jutsus, and the village placed the highest bounty on an individual on her.
Konan has followed her, they subdued Kakuzu to make him follow them, and took over majority of the continent across the ocean.
Broken-hearted, Kiyohime-sama has decided to weaken Konoha and build her own Konoha here.
She has taken over a kid's body from the Hyuga clan, but Konan doesn't care.
She watched as Kiyohime-sama, in her new body, wore a Zetsu that she has cultivated, and jumped around, fired some ninjutsu, to get used to her new body.
"Konan. Let's have a spar and help me get used to my new body. I will be weaker for a while, so don't use anything lethal."
"Understood, Kiyohime-sama."
