Cursed Moon :- The Story of Sara Tsukihana

chapter 1: The Moon Returns to the Sky

The story begins shortly after the end of the Third Great Ninja War. The Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha) is under reconstruction, healing from the scars of battle. Tsunade, the fifth Hokage, has taken leadership and is striving to bring peace and strength back to the village. Amidst this effort, a special guest arrives, cloaked in mystery, pain, and silent power -Sara Tsukihana.

Scene: Rooftop of the Hokage building dusk falls, casting a soft orange hue over the village.

Kakashi Hatake stands alone on the rooftop, watching the rebuilding of the village. His expression is calm but observant. Below, villagers whisper to one another about a girl a girl with moonlit eyes, a girl surrounded by rumors.

Villager A (whispering): "They say she has eyes like the moon... silver and glowing."

Villager B: "And powers no one's ever seen before. Some call her a devil in disguise."

Kakashi's ears catch the conversation. He turns slightly to glance toward the gates. His single visible eye narrows, intrigued.

Cut to: Village gates A young woman walks calmly into the village.

Her presence is ethereal. Though she doesn't smile, her aura is overwhelming. She is petite, around 4 feet 11 inches, her natural hair flowing a rich brown, nearly black and her brown eyes.

Location: Konoha's Main Gate Midday Sun, Light Wind

The guards whisper as a cloaked figure walks slowly toward the Leaf Village gates, her presence both calm and chilling. She wears a long, dark-gray travel robe, a silver moon sigil glowing faintly on the back. Dust swirls around her feet as she halts in front of the gate.

Izumo (guard): "Another survivor...?"

Kotetsu: "No... that's her. The Moon Clan girl... the one Lady Tsunade mentioned."

The gates creak open. Standing tall at the end of the path is Lady Tsunade, arms folded, golden hair glinting in the sun.

Tsunade:

"Sara Tsukihana. You've been walking alone for a long time."

Sara (softly):

"And you've been waiting for me."

Tsunade steps forward, studying you closely. Behind her, you spot a familiar silver-haired shinobi with a mask Kakashi Hatake observing silently from the rooftops.

Tsunade:

"Konoha needs people like you... not just warriors. People who know pain. People who've survived. We're rebuilding.

Sara:

"I'm not here to fight. But if I must... I will show them the truth in illusions."

A faint silver shimmer flashes in your eyes, but quickly fades back to brown.

Tsunade smirks, almost amused.

"You'll fit right in."

Kakashi's voice (from above):

"She hides a lot... but there's power behind those eyes

"Moonlight Clan (Tsukihana Clan) A lesser-known but ancient clan tied to the moon's energy, specializing in dream-based genjutsu, chakra healing, and emotional sensing.

Kekkei Genkai: tsukigan (Eyes of Dreams)

A dojutsu that allows you to enter others' dreams, soothe trauma, and even attack illusions created from your target's own fears or desires.Tsukigan does not remain active at all times. Sara's eyes only transform when she wills it. In daylight, she walks with her brown eyes calm and unreadable."

chapter 2: The Silver Moon Returns"

Location: Hokage's Office Afternoon

Lady Tsunade stands by the window, watching the village.

Tsunade:

"There's movement near the old border of the Land of Rain. Rogue shinobi. Survivors of the war... angry, armed, and unpredictable."

She turns to Kakashi, standing beside her, then to sara - calm and composed, arms behind your back.

Tsunade:

"Kakashi, take Sara with you. This mission isn't just about strength. It's about perception. And nobody sees deeper than a Tsukihana."

Kakashi (tilting his head, smiling behind the mask):

"I've worked alone for years. But I'm curious to see what the Moon Clan is really capable of."

Later: Deep forest Outside Konoha

Sara and Kakashi move through the woods like shadows. He watches her closely, testing her reflexes with subtle movements. she is silent, graceful, almost untouchable.

Suddenly-

Ambush.

Shinobi leap from trees. Genjutsu flares. Explosions ring. Kakashi prepares to counter-but sara step forward calmly, her brown eyes glowing silver-white.

sara whisper:

"Tsukigan... awaken."

The world slows.

she walk calmly through the chaos, reading their next moves, bending their illusions, and replacing them with her own. her Moon Mist Dance shimmers like silver fog, confusing enemies. One by one, they fall not in pain, but in silence, trapped in their own dreamscapes.

Kakashi watches, stunned.

Even he can't copy what she just did.

After the battle, he walks beside her quietly.

Kakashi (finally speaking):

"Remind me never to fight you in the dark."

she smirk.

Sara:

"Darkness is just the moon's time to shine."

/after the kill rouge ninja they return back.../

Next scene:-

Setting: Konoha village streets, evening

The sun dips behind rooftops as warm lantern light bathes the roads. sara and Kakashi walk side by side through the heart of the village, heading toward Ichiraku Ramen. Sara's dressed in modified Moon Clan shinobi attire-elegant, dark, with silver accents that reflect her heritage.

Villagers whisper as she pass:

"Did you see her eyes yesterday? Like silver moons..."

"They say she trapped three rogus shinobi in a genjutsu so deep they begged to forget their own names."

"She doesn't even blink when she walks past Jonin. Gives me chills..."

she hear them, but her expression doesn't change calm, unreadable, the way you've learned to be. Kakashi wat.ches her subtly from the corner of his eye.

Kakashi (thinking):

She doesn't react at all. No pride, no discomfort. That's not just training... That's pain buried deep. She's lived through something that rewired her soul.

He doesn't speak yet. He just pays for the meal and sits beside her. letting the silence breathe.

Suddenly-

An explosion.

The ground shakes. Screams echo from the west gate. Both of them rise instantly.

Voice from the rooftops:

"ANBU alert! Unknown shinobi have breached the barrier!"

Outside the Village Wall - Nightfall

sara and Kakashi crrive first. four figures stand in the smoke, all masked. But one removes theirs slowly.....

A man with a deep scar over his face. Sara freeze.

Kakashi notices.

"You know him?"

she nod slowly.

Sara :

"He was once a Moon Clan general... until he betrayed us. He killed my parents. His name is Shiden."

Shiden (mocking):

"The little moon still haunts me, eh? I should've crushed you back then."

her eyes shimmer but remain brown.

Kakashi steps forward.

"Not tonight. You'll deal with me."

she raise a hand.

"No. This is between the moon and its shadows."

sara activate Tsukigan The silver glow lights up the battlefield.

Battle Begins

sara vs. Shiden he uses corrupted versions of Moon Clan jutsu.

Shadows twist unnaturally. His genjutsu are fast and brutal, but sara Tsukigon sees through them all. The fight is intense teleportation clashes, high-speed taijutsu, and illusion within

illusion.

she take damage a cut across her cheek but she smile.

Sara (calmly):

"I've grown stronger than your darkness."

she Invoke: Moon Mist Dance.

fog envelops the arsa. Kakashi and the ANBU can't see only sara and Shiden remain conscious of the fight.

Inside the mist, she speak to him through layers of genjutsu.

"You'll live this moment on repeat for eternity... just like I lived

the night, you killed my parents."

With a single graceful movement, she place her hand over his chest and whisper:

"Sleep."

Scene Ends:

Shiden lies unconscious. The mist fades. Kakashi approaches,

staring at her glowing eyes.

Kakashi (quietly):

"There's nothing more dangerous.... or beautiful... than a moon

that remembers its light."

She look away, eyes returning to brown.

Sara :

"I remember everything."

* Scene: Dust swirls over the broken earth.

Sara Tsukihana faces two elite rogue shinobi-both Special Jonin from her former Moon Clan, now traitors. They charge at her with speed and fury, believing their combined power can overpower her.

But they don't know the woman standing before them is no longer the same girl they betrayed.

She doesn't activate her Tsukigan. She doesn't need to.

With her calm brown eyes, she slides into a flowing, elegant stance -Moonflow Combat Style, a secret martial form of her clan. Her movements shimmer like water under moonlight.

One enemy slashes forward-Sara dodges with barely a shift of

her weight, then strikes his pressure point, paralyzing his arm. The second tries a fire release jutsu-flame Barrage! but she leaps into the air, spins, and rains down chakra-infused kunai like falling stars.

In seconds, both are overwhelmed.

She whispers softly, almost like a lullaby: "You forgot what real moonlight feels like."

With her final blow, a radiant arc of chakra dances from her palm -Moonlight Palm. Both traitors fall unconscious.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield-

Kakashi Hatake, masked and quiet, finishes the third rogue Moon shinobi with swift precision. He lowers his lightning Blade just in time to hear the enemy's last gasp:

"You... sided with the cursed moon...."

Kakashi looks at Sara across the battlefield. Her hair flows in the breeze. She hasn't broken a sweat.

"She's not cursed," he mutters.

"She's the last moon left in the sky."

chapter 3 : Petals of Curiosity

The battle had ended.

Ashes of chakra and falling leaves drifted gently through the air. as the last of the traitorous Moon Clan shinobi fell defeated. The battlefield, once trembling with violent energy, now stood still-quiet, like the moment before a storm... or just after one.

Sara Tsukihana stood with her back straight, blood on her clothes but none in her eyes. Her Tsukigan remained dormant now, the silver glow hidden beneath the warm brown of her natural eyes. She hadn't needed it-not for them. Her moon-born strength had spoken enough.

At her side, Kakashi Hatake lowered his arm slowly, his Sharingan still exposed but his gaze fixed on her-not as a fellow shinobi. but as someone trying to understand the mystery that stood beside him.

The villagers began to gather from a distance, cautious yet mesmerized. Whispers echoed among them like falling petals in the night wind:

"Did you see those eyes?"

"She's the girl from the legends... the last Moon Clan survivor..."

"They say she doesn't speak unless the moon allows her to..."

"No, she's not human-she's a curse, a beauty wrapped in danger."

"She fought like the storm and still walked like silence."

But Sara paid no mind to any of it. She simply turned away, her gaze soft on the half-rebuilt village of Konoha glowing under the fading light. Children peeking from rooftops watched her with wide eyes, torn between awe and fear.

from the Hokage Tower, Tsunade stood watching the scene unfold.

Shizune appeared beside her.

"She's stronger than I remembered." Tsunade said, eyes not leaving Sara.

"You don't regret finding her, do you?" Shizune asked quietly.

Tsunade smiled-softly, but with certainty. "No. Not even for a second. The Moon has returned to us... and this time, it's not going to vanish."

Kakashi looked at Sara again, remembering the words said to him during battle: "She's the curse. The devil in a fairy's body."

But what he saw now was not a curse. It was the calm after the storm, the quiet glow of someone who had walked through fire and still chosen peace.

"Come on," he said gently, walking beside her. "Let's go. You deserve something warm to eat."

Sara didn't look at him directly but began to walk beside him, calm, powerful, and unreadable.

As they entered the main road, more whispers followed, but now mixed with admiration. Some villagers even bowed their heads subtly. for the first time, the Moon wasn't feared-it was respected.

And above, the moon itself shone full and proud, like it was watching its daughter reclaim her place beneath the leaves.

Even the coldest moon con warm beneath curious hearts"

Scene - Naruto, the Gossiper Tornado

The village was blooming again after choos. Peace returned, and with it, Naruto burst into the scane like a storm

Scene 3- Meeting the Moon

Sara is under the plum blossom tree near the training field, her back to the sun her shadow long.

Kakashi leans beside her, reading, but not really reading. He watches her, listens

Kakashi (softly) "They're coming" Sara (without opening her eyes): "I know"

When the group arrives. Naruto waves the flowers like a flag.

Naruto: "Are you Sara Tsukihana?! Moon Princess?! fairy girl??"

Sara leyes opening slightly: "...I suppose so."

Sakura "Sorry about him." Ino (albowing Sakural "He's right, though. You really are like the moon.

Sara nods slowly, still distant Shikamaru "Looks quiet.... that's nice."

Kakashi introduces each one. Sara bows gently. Her words are few but she listens, Watches. And when she speaks, it's soft yet sharp

Sare "You're loud but... warm"

Naruto (grinning) "We're the best at being loud and warm!"

Kakashi keeps silent, watching Sara's posture so different from the glowing, laughing girl he once sow as a child.

Kakashi (in thought "You've changed. What did you lose in that

darkness?"

But she listens to everything.

Ino: "You know, you don't have to be quiet all the time." Sara "Habit. And silence... is easy to trust."

Sakura "Well, get used to noise. We're not going anywhere." Sara looks at them for a moment, She doesn't smile but she

doesn't frown either.

Sara (softly): "I don't hate this."

Kakashi, hearing from behind his book, hides a smile.

Sakura "You're sharper than you look." Hinata "Your back... you have old scors." Sara nods silently

Ino: "Did you get those in battle?" Sara "from betrayal." A quiet pause

Sara (breaking the silence) "But I survived." Ino "Damn right, you did."

Sara leans back. She watches the others laugh -lst water sook

Sara (softly) "You're strange. But comforting." Sakura: "That's what, friends are."

Naruto floats with a towel on his head.

Naruto: "You think she'll join missions with us?"

Shikamaru: "She's too powerful. And spooky. Kakashi eyes half-closed "She's trying. That's more than enough"

Naruto: "You knew her as a kid, right?" Kakashi...I saw her once. She smiled like the moon. That's all i remember.

Scene - Rooftop Peace

Later, they gather on the roof again, Sars stares of the moon. She finally speaks,

Sara Tsukihana lived too long in silence. Maybe... you are all a noise worth hearing."
