I do not own Naruto. I am merely borrowing the circumstances, its universe, and some of its characters for my own enjoyment. I repeat, I do not own Naruto.
Ch.1: Leaving
I couldn't believe it. Our time, our chance, was FINALLY here! I had been waiting for months! Well, actually exactly one month. But that month felt like an eternity! We stood there at the gates, awaiting clearance to leave. I looked around myself one last time, trying to memorize the setting I hopefully wouldn't be in for the next month or so.
I promise I won't come back until I've made it. And I WILL make it. I promised to myself that none of us would fail, that failure would never be any option for any of the six of us. Who were we? We are shinobi. Three-man squads of ninja. Me—I'm a kunoichi. There were more than six of us going, but we were special. We were the first-timers, the 'newbies'. But in no way were we the weakest. Why? We passed the strenuous trials required for passing a month or so ago. At the ages of 12 and 13. There were very few who had showed more talent at a young age than we six, and they had made history before us.
It started drizzling, but we were focused on the task at hand: we were on a mission. So, I carefully adjusted the band around my waist and took off as they signaled. We raced through the treetops, leaving our homes after dark, under the cover of the thick mist our village was named for.
