NOTE: I'm rewriting the whole story, everything else stays the same, I'm only adding a few detailed thoughts into it. I know it looked crappy, please. I was in a rush to get this done. So now I'm taking my time on this, and the chapter's are a bit longer. I'm sorry for this, and I know to those that have read this before, very very sorry for the ending, and forgetting a few things. I truly am sorry.

Chapter 1 - "He won't stand a chance"

By: ShadowUnknown

Blood splattered across the floors of the home of a young girl named Hashi Leo. Even though she was a girl she looked a lot like a boy, short pale black hair and deep green eyes, and boys clothes. Her father always said to her what he wondered what it was like to have a girl dressed like a boy. He wanted to play a joke with the village of fire. She stood alone now staring at the bodies of her mother and father, he knew whom has killed them.

She wanted to kill the man so much but she was powerless against him for the time being. In her held a dark secret she was feared by the village because they knew of this secret except her. She never cried for her parents, she only walked out of the house and started to wonder the streets. 'I was to late, why couldn't I have gotten home earlier? I could have saved them.' she thought and walked back to the school grounds.

'I have no where to go now.' she thought and walked to the practice area. She sat in silence watching the leaves move back and forth. I should go back now and clean up some' she thought getting up from her sitting spot in the tree. Looking down she seen someone coming. 'That's Uzumaki Naruto' she thought thinking she found someone like her. 'No he's not like me at all' she thought staying in the tree until he left, she remained motionless while he was there.

After the funeral of her dead parents she went back home and prepared the salt. She was now alone in the old house, the place was no fun now it was quiet. She went out back to practice, that to was no fun. "All targets hit dead..." she stopped herself from finishing the sentence.

Walking back inside she sat not wanting to do anything anymore, it was like the life died out of her like her parents. Looking at the clock on the wall it was only 5:23 am. 'Should I go early?' she thought thinking about going to school earlier then usual. Getting up she went to go and change.

She took some time before finally arriving at the academy. 'That man, he killed them single handedly. What were his motives? Why would he do such a thing?' she thought more about the murder, as much as it hurt her to think about it she went on thinking about it.

"Morning Leo" one of her class mates greeted her, in the class she was a genius on book work and out in the field. She wore red today clearly not like her personality at all. Usually she would wear black, or dark blue, maybe some white. Never red. "Your so red, hey guys don't you think he's red?" they joked, just like when someone is blushing. She knew that they don't know that she was actually a girl, they thought she was a boy.

Her father's plan worked, to well actually, the hair, and clothes. Not to mention her personality fit well into a guys. Very popular with the other girls, she and Uchia Sasuke both. She didn't bother with the competition with him though she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that at the moment.

"Yeah you'd be red too if your pissed at the world." Leo said and walked to a different seat away from her friends. Everyone was starting to wonder if she was alright with her school work. 'His parents death's must be very hard on him.' she would often hear the teachers talking about her. 'Just like the Uchiha.' she would hear from other's. She sat in silence away from everyone she knew, she felt like taking it out on something or someone. Something broke her train of thought.

"Leo, come here for a moment" the sensei spoke. With great effort on her part, Leo did as she was told and walked with the teacher out of the class room. They were close enough to the room they just exited, yet far enough so no one would over hear.

"Are you sure you want to go though with this? You can go when your 10 you know, there's no rush." his voice sound so uncertain.

"I want to take the chunin exams. Now. I'm ready. I can handle it. Please let me go." Leo pleaded. She gave him her most convincing pleas, putting her hands together, and looking up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Alright," he sighed "be careful though." with that he gave her some papers to fill out, and her school work for the next few months. She smiled and went back home knowing that she was excused from school for the next few months. 'I can use the time to practice,' she smiled more now 'I can practice all of my jutsus.' she thought more happy about it. I'll also need some more books to help me train.

Working on the paper work, filling out each one carefully and with care. "Being in an advanced class has it's good points." she smiled as he worked. Sensei came by in the afternoon to pick up the paper work from yesterday to hand into the Hokage. Leo was working on some slow motion fighting styles to try and get it right. It was excellent practice to start with.

"Great, I also have most of the school work done as well." Leo said handing him a folder with her school work in it. "It's all I can do for now, I'm using most of my time practicing." Leo said smiling. Her deep green eyes meetings his, she knew she could do this. She knew she could pass. He looked down at her and smiled.

"Your going to have to pass a test first." he said, Leo gave him a look. 'Alright, what kind of test?' she thought and nodded. "You have to do the Clone jutsu." he smiled. 'Great!' she thought excited, she nodded and concentrated on her chakura.

"Well that's great," he smiled pleased with Leo's process. "I'll come by again in a few days to see how your doing in the rest of your training, and your homework." Sensei said as he left Leo alone with her studies.

A few days later Leo was interrupted in her studies when a knock came at the door. 'Must be Sensei.' she thought and opened the door. "Yes?" she said confused for a moment. She seen two men both with ANBU masks.

"Are you Hashi Leo?" the man with a single red line crossing vertically the anbu mask on said.

"Yes, that's me." Leo said looking at them strangely 'What do they want?' she thought. 'What are they hear for? What are their intentions?' she thought as she waited for them to continue talking.

"Were here to announce that you have been accepted to the Chunin Exams." the one with the lined mask said.

"Plus we have some questions we would like to ask you." the other one said, this one had red around the eyes, and some red spattered across it making it look like it's been in battle before. "We would like to discuss what happened to your parents." he said taking a step towards her. 'So they think I did it? Or do they want to know who did it? Well it's my business, I'll deal with it myself. No matter what the coast.' she thought.

"I already told you everything I knew. If your asking that I killed them then your wrong." Leo said starting to get pissed at them. "Why not just leave me alone, and leave them in the past. What's done is done." she said. 'That should convice them. Somehow.' she thought.

"They always say that your stubborn," the man said and started to leave. "Don't forget the date about the Chunin Exams. I bet your the youngest to join." he said as they disappeared around the corner of the street. Leo went back to her studies acting as if nothing had happened before 'This jutsu looks complicated.' she thought and tried out. 'It looks a bit faded but I think I can make most of it out.' she thought with a slight smile.

"Hm. Nothing happened," she said and got up to go outside "Why do I feel small? What's that sound? What smells like that?" she said and looked around the area before looking at the ground. "Those are not my feet! They are paws! Did I do the hand signals wrong? How did I become a dog?" she said and started to run outside to look into the pond. "I'm a white dog!" she said and suddenly went back to her normal self. "It wore off? No paws, Ears, no more tail!".

Falling backwards relived of turning back to normal. "I wonder if I could do that one, again? It might come in handy." she said and tried the jutsu again. 'It worked, paws! The smell! Sounds!' she thought and walked over to the fence to look out 'I wonder if I could mix something with it like fire.' she thought and tried to think of the hand signals for it. She looked down at her paws and they were on fire "It worked!" she said happy, then it wore off she was back to her human self.

"Just a few more tries then maybe I can get some wings added on to it." she said happily hoping to see the other countries before the exams start. In a few hours she had it just right "Perfect now I can test my flying." she said as a surge of electricity flew through her body. It seems to re-energize her some how, at the moment she didn't care. Turning herself in to the white dog as fire formed the wings and turned white and feathery like a birds, and started off towards the sand country first.

"Yes so free and alive!" Leo said circling the village a few times before landing. 'All I have to do is act like a dog now,' she thought as her wings disappeared in flames. She padded along the roads until she met up with a boy with red short hair, a pale completion, and sea foam green eyes. 'Who is that?' she thought and walked up the the small boy, pretending to whimper like a dog. 'Why am I doing this?' she thought as she got closer to the boy. 'Looks my age.' she added the thought.

It looked as if the boy was crying 'What dark circles around his eyes,' Leo thought as she got a closer look at the boy. 'How..what was that word? Pathetic? I should have shrunk my size, I look like a normal sized dog. I should have been smaller like a puppy.' she thought as she came closer to the boy.

The boy looked up a little shocked to see such a strange colored dog around these parts "Who are you? Your not a dog." the boy said. 'Oh no! I've been found out, what should I do?' Leo thought as she looked around the area quickly. 'Well, better tell him. It's no use trying to hide it now.' she thought and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Your right, I'm not a dog. But I'm not much older then you, either." Leo said in a low voice hoping no one would hear her speak. She didn't use the voice she developed over the past two years. She would spend endless hours trying to prefect a boys voice that she can use freely around other's so they won't guess she was actually a girl.

"Really? Who are you?" the boy asked. 'Should I tell him my real name?' she thought for a moment trying to think of a fake name she could use.

"You should give your name first before asking for others" Leo said a little annoyed. 'Gives me a little more time to think.' she thought as she ran a list of names she could use.

"Gaara," he said shyly.

"I'm Leo, nice to meet you Gaara." she said as she sat down beside him slightly wagging her white plume of a tail 'I guess my real name is good enough, besides. I think I can trust him' she thought. Her white pelt shimmered in the sun, it almost looked as if she were made out of ice or glass. They both talked for a good while until it was time Leo to head home before it got to dark. "I'll see you tomorrow, I'm still practicing for the exams. I'll come by in the afternoon." she said and started towards the gates.

"I'll be counting on it, Leo" Gaara called after her. 'I hope their is no harm in that. I hope I didn't revel to much about the village. Can I really trust him?' she thought as she flew back to Kohona.

----

After she practiced on her hand signals and targeting for the whole morning, she started to head out towards the sands. 'I can't wait to meet Gaara, were going to have fun today' she thought and off she went she would always get there at top speed with her newly found jutsu. She met up with Gaara every day now, hardly anyone came by her place so she was free to do what ever she wanted. She finished her homework, and used most of the day training, or visiting Gaara, or going to another country.

"Leo, what took you so long?" Gaara called up to her as she flew over head. 'You should know!' Leo thought with a small smile. 'I finally found someone like me. Gaara.' she thought her smile grew.

"Sorry, but I had to practice a bit more the exams are almost here." Leo said landing beside Gaara.

"Oh right! I'm going to ask my father if I could come and see you in the exams." Gaara said happily 'Really? Wow! I' stoked now!' she thought as they played until the sun sets.

"See you later, I can't wait for tomorrow." Leo said as she flew off back to the fire country. She thought about all the things they've done that day. She even learned how to use the sand, well sort of. She can't use it like Gaara, but she was pretty close. It's harder then it looks.

----

'Exams, exams, exams. This is so great.' Leo thought as she entered the building, she suddenly felt so small, that she thought she was an ant compared to the other ninjas there. 'I wonder what it's going to be like? It's so big here, there sure are a lot of them. Will I actually stand a chance?' Leo thought as she looked around. Many gennin's from different countries were there, even some she meet when she went to the countries when she would break from training. 'Do they remember me?' she thought as she stood there looking at all of them.

"Hey who let a kid in here?" one of the ninjas from the wave country called out. 'Oh and he's a big help.' she thought as more eyes turned towards her. 'They look nervous. Is it really that hard?' she thought and started to think about how the tests will go.

"He must be the one everyone is talking about. The youngest to take the exams." Another one said this one was from the sand country. 'Gaara's country. You seen me fight, I bet I can even beat you.' she thought and started to think of different ways to humiliate this sand. 'Gaara wouldn't know. Would he?' she started to rethink it.

"He won't stand a chance" A leaf ninja whispered. 'I heard that!' Leo thought, after she could turn into a dog her hearing, and scenes of smell were stronger, she didn't need to concentrate her chakura on those. Then the examiner came in, Leo looked over her shoulder up at the tall person. 'Right, piece of cake.' Leo thought and took her seat. Listened to the instructions and did what ever had to be done.

----

'I'm the first one done, and I didn't get caught. How boring, this isn't a real test. Something must be up, oh another got nailed. Next up numbers are going to be called, I just know it.' Leo thought as she looked around the area. 'Even I can see some of them cheating, hey someone is cheating off of me. No three, the same ones that were talking about me before the test began. Lame.' Leo thought as the numbers were being called. Ninjas started to walk out of the room heads hung low. 'Not much left now.' Leo thought and looked towards the head of the room.

"47, 23, 25 out" the ninjas on the side called out. 'It feels like people are staring at me.' Leo thought as she watched the clock with her hand over the test paper so no one could copy off of her, she knew that if they copied off her and they get caught she would be out. Not to mention the bad how bad they are at getting information. 'I know tons of their secrets, and I still never got caught.' she smiled to herself.

----

"Alright time for the last question to be answered." the examiner called to them. She listened to him making sure to make note of what meaning the word could mean. 'So the one putting up their hand is passing? Wait 'Life, live for only the mission. Forget your friends, only care for the mission.' that can't be right.' Leo thought and put up her hand. She walked up to the front towards Ibiki. "I won't sacrifice my team meaninglessly without a good reason." Leo said to the examiner as she passed him by, making sure to keep her voice low so no one can hear.

"I knew he had no guts." the very same leaf ninja called out. 'Not guts, but I'm smarter then you.' she thought as she walked out smiling. As soon as she was out she heard the examiner say that they all failed. Leo couldn't hold back a little giggle as she waited by the door. 'I want to see the look on that leaf's face once he's out.' Leo thought.

"I-I can't believe it!" he said as he walked out of the room. "I failed." She looked up at him slightly 'Of course you did. Your willing to sacrifice your team for some mission that will do no good with out it. How would you feel if your life was on the line and no one there to back you up?' she thought.

"It's not always about the mission, wasting your men on such small missions is lame. On bigger missions you need reasons for doing so." Leo said to the leaf. "So, if I were to go on a dangerous mission, I need a good team. But it's also not about the team, it's the plan. Your team has to understand the plan first, to go on a mission and finish it successfully." Leo said as she watched the leaf actually listening to a kid.

She was even more surprised to notice some of the other ninjas from different countries listening to her as well. "You all know your listening to a kid, right?" Leo said looking at them. 'What's wrong with them? I can't be that special. They laughed at me, and said I wouldn't stand to take the test. Yet here they are listening to the very same person that they called down.' she thought trying to figure it all out.

"How the heck did a kid out smart us?" they all said. The examiner came out and seen Leo standing there leaning against the side of the door. 'Wonder if he heard me the whole time.' she thought as she looked at him slightly.

"Leo, congratulations. I knew you would pass." he smiled down at her. 'He. He knew? How? When? Why?' she thought trying to find the answer to this now. 'Maybe it's because of our nickname. Sure my father inherit that, but it got passed down to me. But they also say that were very smart, yet we use our smarts in only our family. Just like the Uchiha's. Yet were different.' she thought and looked at this person more closely.

"It was only common sense, why would I waste peoples lives carelessly? It doesn't make sense." Leo said. "Not to me, anyways." she said and looked at the ninja's from the different countries. 'Maybe I showed them something. Nah. Can't be.' she thought and started to make her way down the hall.

----

"I'm so glad that is over." Leo said to herself as she waited for the next test. 'Quite a few people had passed, I wonder if they knew?' Leo thought. She looked around, it was a large clearing, not much grass or trees, but still far from the village. She looked at the metal chain gates that blocked them from the only source of life in there. 'I can hear growling. Something out there is lurking in the darkness. Harvesting it for it's own power. That's okay, I'm like that too.' she thought a small smile crept up on her facial expression.

"Leo, will you team up with someone or go on your own." another examiner said to her. 'If I go with someone it will only slow me down, but if I don't there might be a chance that I actually won't make it out alive.' she thought a moment before giving her answer.

"I would like to go alone, but it would be smart to team up with someone." Leo said looking up at him. 'That should be reasonable enough. I mean, we can get this done faster.' she thought as she waited for the man to say something.

"Great, we brought back one of the failed ninjas from the leafs. He can be your partner. Look after him now." he said almost laughing at the thought of a kid looking after an older boy. 'One of the leafs that fail? Maybe it's the one that gave that comment on me not standing a chance here. Well I'm basking in my glory, and I'm here now. Nothing is going to change that now. You won't stop me.' she thought as she waited for the leaf to come to her.

"Alright, leave his life in my hands." Leo called laughing a little. "Oh it's you, I thought it might be." Leo said looking at her partner, the very same that was mocking her before the exams. 'I knew it was him. What was his name? Uda something.' she thought as she looked at him closely, he had short blonde hair, with deep steal eyes. 'How. Unusual.' she thought finally.

"Yeah, sorry about before. I'm Uda Yuki" he said. "Your Hashi Leo, right?" Yuki said to her. He stretched out his hand to shake, a grin on his face. 'He. Seems nice.' she thought and gave a slight smile.

"Yup, Yuki are you sure you want to trust your life in my hands?" she said to him. 'If you do, then your trusting a kid. A kid.' she thought and waited for his answer after a few moments had passed them by.

"Yes, I'll listen." Yuki said smiling. 'What!?' she thought a little shock showing in her features. She shrugged it off, hoping that he didn't see.

"Good, cause this won't be easy. The Forest of Death, we have to survive through it all." Leo said trying to think of a plan 'I remember seeing a map about it.' Leo thought. They were assigned scrolls and were off to a gate. "I think I've got a plan." Leo said, she bent down and started to draw the map she remembered during their briefing, in the sand. 'Okay, this should do, but better make a back up plan just in case. I don't want to lose someone's life on this just because I was careless.' she thought.

She showed him what route they must take to make it easier for them both and won't waste to much of their energy. "Don't worry if that won't work then I have a back up plan. We have to get the other scroll before we can continue on this next plan." Leo said. Then the gates finally opened and she quickly erased the hand drawn map as they went in. 'It's a good thing he understood it.' she thought relieved. 'If this goes well, then we will win for sure.' she thought and kept her senses alert.

"So we don't know what scroll the other's have, how can we tell which one has the one were looking for?" Yuki said in a quite voice. 'Oh please. I figured this out ages ago. Well I should tell him then.' she thought.

"Easy it has a different scent from this one, didn't you recognize it?" Leo said she turned into a white dog and she started to smell around. "Ah, right there." Leo said as she stopped in a tree and looked down at the unsuspected men below. 'That's our target, plus it's the sand nins. Perfect.' she thought a smile on her face. "Careful bugs in the trees" she said it with no sound. 'I know you can read my lips, you actually passed. But you didn't leave the room.' she mouthed out the words to him. Yuki had a shocked look on his face.

'Our plan is; for me to use a shadow clone jutsu, and use the transform jutsu to disguise myself as a tree leech, and drop down on them. You will attack when one of them drops the scroll, or when I give you the signal. It will be a loud whistle. So pay attention to the surroundings, and keep alert when I do that. Others might come and attack when we could be down.' she explained to him as she kept a watchful eye on the ones below her from the corner of her eye.
