Author's note: Well another new story started. I would probably do better if I got through a whole story before starting another one but for some reason ideas are popping up in my head and I have to write them down. I will say the same thing as I did when I started my other new story. This is not an already written story I am writing it as I go and when it comes to me. So don't expect regular updates and please do not bug me for them. I would love constructive criticism and will ignore flames. Please go easy on me I am still getting back into writing so it is going to be sloppy. I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Chapter One
It was a scenic view with a medium sized temple nestled against the base of a mountain in a lush valley filled with flowers, bushes, and trees. Winding it's way from a waterfall that fell into a decent sized pool off to the side of the temple was a gently flowing stream making it's way out of the valley. Many kinds of fish could be seen through the clear water along with plant life and other aquatic creatures. It was a peaceful place; the only break in the atmosphere was the figure of a woman making her way from a cluster of plants to the temple entrance. Her long black hair glistened in the sunlight and it swayed lightly brushing the back of her thighs as she walked. At the entrance to the temple she stopped for a moment and looked back over the valley with her otherworldly blue eyes before disappearing inside.
oooooooooooooo
It wasn't often Naruto felt Kyubbi's presence stir in the back of his mind, so he tended to pay more attention when it did. From what Naruto felt the fox seemed very interested in the conversation in front of Naruto. Jiraiya was busy talking to one of his contacts, a man who happened to be a former monk from a nearby temple. They were talking about a legend the monk had researched in his time at the temple.
Apparently Akatsuki was continually gathering information on anything involving demons including old legends and stories. Jiraiya in an attempt to track where Akatsuki might go or what they were up to had begun collecting information as well. Apparently someone had already been by to ask the monk about his research and not knowing he was an agent of Jiraiya's spy network let him live.
The legend the former monk had spent so much time researching was over a thousand years old and from the time before there were ninja villages or even ninjas themselves, when demons roamed the land freely along with the bijuu. The legend spoke of a beautiful woman and a powerful demon that took human form. It was said the woman was not originally from this world and had the power to subdue demons as evidenced by the one that stayed by her side and protected her.
There wasn't much more to the legend except to tell that the two supposedly lived in a valley guarded by the mystical powers the woman possessed that allowed her to hide the valley as well as choose who was allowed in. Beyond that, the former monk hadn't been able to find much more information. He had searched for more information at other temples and old villages in the various elemental countries before giving up the search and archiving what he had. Jiraiya thanked the man before giving him his payment and leaving with Naruto in tow.
