The Takanashi clan used to be one of the more well known clans of Konoha due to their bonds with creatures of the avian kind. Each member having a bird of a different species as their partner until the day either of them died. The compound used to be within the clans walls, close by to the Nara's grounds, the birds often seen above the trees of the deer.

That was until an unfortunate event, one lost in time, forced them out of the walls of the village and into the trees surrounding Konohagakure. With only connections to a few clans inside of the village, knowledge of these avian loving people started to fade. They soon became viewed as a seperate village, starting to become closed off from the world except from the odd person that passed through. Whilst there were still ninjas taking jobs inside of Konoha, nothing was asked of them. They became like shadows, blending into the crowd.

The children of the clan were not allowed to leave as adults until their partners were able to fly, these birds aging at the same rate as their human companions. Since they were dependent on their partners to watch for dangers and other tasks, they were in danger the most if they faced the enemy without their companions aid. The children were not allowed to even enroll at the academy, having to be taught by their parents and taking their exams at different times.

But recently, a new leader of the clan has started to become more involved in the village, whilst still sticking to traditions, he has encouraged those old enough to start taking more missions from the village and to join teams of newly graduated students. He had sent his two older children to the academy for their last year of training and he also intended to send the younger two when they were both old enough to go. Whilst one was two years the youngest, Asuka had only a year before she would be able to enroll at the academy, meaning she would be one of the first Takanashi in a long time to complete their training like other clans.


A/N: Look who's back, back again. I'm rewriting this fanfiction, cause let's face it, it used to suck. I got trapped in dialogue like a noob. That and I'm coming up blank with what to write, so I thought rewriting something I mean to continue would spark something in my mind. I'll be removing the old version, cause it's a cringe fest

Apologies for any typos, my laptop with Word has broken so I have to use a cheap version with no spell check.
