OK, so this is just the prologue for Smile like you mean it ( AKA Irreversible, the masks are off) Version 2. I just wanted to see how people reacted too a few of the changes i made.

I don't own Naruto, though i would like to think i own the Tenshi clan, Tamagakure( well, my version.. i think Ive seen the name around somewhere before) , Riia and the plot, but as I've never seen every piece of media ever, i wouldn't know.


"The Tenshi family, the most powerful and prestigious clan to grace the illusive Tamagakure. Know one knows if this mysterious family or even the village they are said to hail from has ever existed, but the legend that surrounds them both continues to be passed down through the ancient families, and so on until it reaches us today."

Iruka lectured, his voice taking on an air of ancient wisdom and underlying power.

"Can anyone tell me the legend of the Tenshi clan?" he enquired.

Sasuke Uchiha stood calmly, and began to speak, earning rapt attention.

"The Tenshi clan are said to be the childe of Kami, gifted with his eternal-"But he was cut off when a kunai flew threw the air, landing an inch from his cheek. He turned around angrily; glaring in the direction the projectile had come from, only to meet a pair of electric acid green eyes from inside the dark corner.

"Erm… Riia-sensei?" A hesitant Yamanaka Ino questioned.

"Do not talk of things you do not know, boy." Came the strong voice, as an Amazonian looking woman slunk out of the shadows, with feline grace. She was most likely in her mid teens, with peach coloured skin, cropped brownish red hair that spiked up in the ends, and she was about 5'7, with a voluptuous figure and a strong willed yet dark, dangerous aura about her.

"Perhaps…" she mused "I should tell you the real story of the Tenshi clan."

The girl was a visiting dignitary, thought from which hidden village Iruka was not informed of, and she had decided to look in on Konoha's schooling system.

"The Tenshi clan are not the children of Kami, nor are they its messengers. They cannot be counted on to stay pure and good, simply because of the family they were born into, but the legends of their power are very, very real." She paused for breath.

"The Tenshi clan gain their abilities through blood, but there is a certain stipulation for the access to such power. The Tenshi clan are always born pure, or, shall I say, anyone born into the Tenshi clan is always cycling through their first life. They are new souls, so they have done no evil and are in effect, pure. This is what allows them to access such power." Here, she smirked.

"Any acts the commit after birth have no effect on the power, once they gain it, they keep it until they either die, or the clan head removes it from them for some injustice, as only the true clan head is said to be able to do. Should they wish to turn evil, they could do so as successfully as any other human being. The Kami controls them as much as they control you or I."

Sasuke sat down, looking quite put out, while the rest of the class held the awed silence. Iruka, however, was not done questioning. "How do you know so much, assuming what you just told us was correct?"

Riia Smirked. "Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? Hello Konoha, my name is Tenshi, Riia." She bowed mockingly, before ripping a small green gem off a chain from her neck, and squeezed it till it glowed the same colour as her eerie eyes.

She gave a mocking wave, and was gone in a flash of green light, all in the span of a second. The hokage, as well as the elite ANBU squads were called in to observe the scene. Saturobi bent down to pick up a gleaming silver Kunai, and twisted it over in his hands, studying it.

Carved into the handle of the wicked projectile was a symbol only a limited few people had ever even herd about, let alone seen. Saturobi Asuma happened to be one of those limited few. It was the Tenshi clan symbol, and they had had A member in their midst.


So, how did you like the new opening? Riia's part will become apparent sometime later, but i doubt she will really have much more then a few passing cameo's, because, as much as i like the character I've got written up, No body really enjoys OC's coming and stealing the spotlight ( or, should i say Plotlight? bad joke, i know.)

And yea, I'm Australian, so nobody pick on my spelling of "colour". Its the right spelling here, i tell ya! but feel free to pull me up on anything else wrong.

thanks for reading, and i would really like to know how this is comparing to the original so far( in terms of writing and interest, there's not much plot yet) from those who red the first version ( which i admit, was terrible) , and just how it was, from those who haven't.

Kyaa!
