~Ayame's POV~

Hello! My name is Ayame Kohakumi. I'm a young konoichi of konoha. Well... that might be a bit of a stretch! I'm 10 years old, and I am a member of the Kohakumi clan. Us kohakumi ninja work for the village hidden in the leaves. Have you ever heard of the shadow clone jutsu or any other forbidden jutsu? Chances are, my clan created it. So yeah... my clan creates almost all of the popular secret jutsu for the leaf village. I'm going to be transferred to a school in the main part of the village. My clan lives pretty far away from the main section of it, so they're sending me here for the best... I will miss them dearly though. I live with my older brother and aunt. My father was killed in the fight against the nine tailed fox 12 years ago, and my mom dated another guy for awhile... my bro says he was a great guy. A few weeks after I was born, my mom and dad were killed on a mission. Originally it was a simple take down of a rogue ninja... he was thought to be a simple, dimwited guy who killed a ton of people... not the case. His name was sakomichi Sorakushima. He... he knew my villages most powerful technique... the shitteirugan. The knowing eye. When someone from the kohakumi clan has this power, they can activate it through a strenuous hand sign routine, and then they can know exactly what the opponent is thinking, and know how to counter it exactly. Compared to the Byakugan and sharingan it seems stupid. But I truly know that with enough thought, it can be used to great extent that can rival even the legendary Rennigan! (I may or may not have exaggerated...)

Phew...I went on a tangent there... well now that you know about me, lets get on with the day!

So I woke up... and today is the day I'm going to be assigned to my ninja squad in the leaf village. I became a genin last year, I trained very hard to become one! I was two-three years younger than the rest of the kids in my class, what a bother. I think they let my become a genin this early, because I'm always training! I have my heart set on a goal, and I won't let it fall! So, I walked away from my bed, and promptly... fell on the floor. Yes... the girl who was going to be the best female ninja there ever was, fell on her butt. "Damit!" I just wanna get up and go! I race to my dresser and grab my brush. I angerly brush my long, brown hair into a straight line down my back. Seriously, I would hate to put my hair up! I grab the headband and tie it around my ankle near the standard ninja shoes. I put on what I usually wear. I wear some shorts, and a shortsleved shirt that had the clan crest on the back. I ran down stairs, and my aunt and brother were waiting for me.

"You're all grown up!" She cried. I jumped into her arms and said "I'll come visit you soon!" "Emotionally unstable girls..." I heard my brother mutter. "Easy for you to say! You're not getting shipped off to a whole other village and school, and I'll have to live there because of missions and such!" I pouted. I mean, I loved my older brother, Hakamure, but he is such a jerk sometimes!

"Anyways..." he said bringing his hand up to his mouth and clearing his throat. "We should leave. Konoha is a long walk away." He said. "Well... Thank you so much auntie... I promise I'll see you soon!" I yell as Hakumure dragged me out of the house.

"Hakumure, what is it like being a jonin?" I asked. I really wonder... I would love to go on S ranked missions. I would take down some dangerous enimies and become a legend. "It's not what you think it is Ayame." He said bluntly. "Hmm... Did you say somethings?" "Shut up Ayame! I know you heard me!" He yelled. "Hey... What do you mean anyways?" I asked. "You make out the life of a jonin to be some mamby pamby ninja game. People die." "Hmm... If you're strong enough, no one has to die!" I yell. I doubt many people die anyways... Right? "I think..." Hakumure mumbled. "Nah... Forget what I was gonna say. Be careful, you'll meet a lot of powerful people, you might... Get hurt." He said. "Ah... I have to stop sugar coating things! You can die Ayame, You can die! Are you sure you want to go down the path of the shinobi?!" He yelled. Who does he think he is! He can't decide my future! "I'll let you know! I'm fully prepared to "die" or whatever!" I yelled. "You don't understand!" He cried. "Mother and father, uncle... And Naka-San... They're all gone because of the way of the shinobi!" He yelled grabbing my arm. "I can't lose you too... You're the only family I have left... Auntie is going to be gone soon!" "I would rather die with honor than live a life with none! Hakumure, if I die in the life of a konoichi, it'll be with honor!" I started to shake him back and fourth. "And I promise you, I won't die! I swear I will not die before I complete my goal!" "And what would that be?" He said collecting himself and dawning his usual sardonic smirk. "I'll tell you once I complete it." "Hey, don't leave me in suspense..."

"anyways... I'll let you play ninja for now... But if I see you not holding up... I'll take you out of the program right then and there." He said. "Deal." I said confidently. I won't let him take away my dream, so I'll try extra hard! "Let's go!" I shout. I think as extra training, I'll run all the way to the leaf village!
