It was a sunny morning over the village of the hidden leaves, and the people there are all happy as peace reigned throughout the country. Lady Tsunade was just finishing her papers with mizune by her side when Shikamaru and Ino came rapidly crashing through the door.
" Have u two got any idea what I am trying to do? All this work i been doing and u two barge in, what exactly do u want?", yelled Lady Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, piz calm down", replied mizune.
" Sorry, geez this is a drag. While we were patrolling the area outside of Konaha we found an eight year old boy laying face down in the dirt. We brought him into the hospitol. He is in need of medical treatment.", replied shikamaru.
" The medical ninja can handle him. Anything else u two need to tell me?", asked Lady Tsunade.
" Lady Tsunade, thats why we are here. They dont know wat to do. They tried everything and yet he still wont move.", said Ino.
Lady Tsunade and mizune ran as quickly as they can to the room where the boy was placed. There he was lieing down not moving a muscle. The boy had red hair with a young face wearing ninja clothes.Tsunade checked for a headband to see wat village he may be from, but no headband was found. She checked him and found he was in weakened condition almost in a coma.
"Tsunade, will he be okay?", asked mizune.
" At least he isnt dead, but what on earth could of happened to him.", Tsunade answered with a confusing look on her face."Just get me a number 3 and 22, and im sure he will be okay."
" I will get right on it.", replied Mizune. She ran and got the medicence Lady Tsunade required and quickly gave it to her.
The boy woke up and looked at Lady Tsunade who was staring at him. " Who are u? Where am I? What am I doing here?", the boy asked in clear frieght.
" Relax, Lady Tsunade healed u and u are going to be okay.", replied mizune.
" enough of that, Tell me who u are now and where u are from?", asked Lady Tsunade.
The boy kept looking at mizune and wondered wat could be happening. He looked at Tsunade and replied," Im Shiniji Sasori and thats all i know"
" Thats just great, well Shiniji how old are u?", asked Tsunade.
" I dont like the way you are looking at me," shiniji replied with an evil look.
" I do not have the time for this, Mizune talk to him I am sure i got work to do.", said Lady Tsunade.
" Shiniji, piz tell us ur age." Mizune asked nicely while Tsunade sat down watching them talk.
" I am eight years old. U smell nice.", said Shiniji.
" Lady Tsunade, Can i ask u something?", asked mizune.
Tsunade and mizune went outside the room and closed the door.
" Do not tell me. You wanna take him in?",asked Tsunade.
" Until he can take care of himself, It is only going to be a little while i hope.,"Mizune responded.
Tsunade thinks back to all the times mizune been with her, and says" Fine, take care of the boy. Heh why am I even saying that to u? I will register him as a ninja tomarrow"
"Thank u, Lady Tsunade. I will do my best." , said Mizune.
Meanwhile in the room where Shiniji is being held,
Shiniji looks around and sees another bed with a girl in it. She was just waking up when they saw eachother.
"Hi, Im shiniji. Whats your name?",asked shiniji.
The girl sat straight up and put her hand through her long black hair, and said " I am Rayne Hyuuga. nice to meet u shin"
"same here. Why are u here? u should be playing with ur friends.", said Shiniji
Rayne laughed and saw that he wasnt kidding."sorry, i hav only one friend and yet we barely hang out. I wish i could meet someone who is like me. Alone without anyone to watch them."
" Its okay I understand. I was told two ninjas found me outside of the village and brought me here. You see I am alone because I lost my parents during a war. I been wondering all over the country and became a ninja so i can protect myself.",said shiniji.
" Oh, well shin, wanna be friends? I'm sure we will become friends and protect eachother. I do not get along with many people because of my dad but i feel a connection with u.",said Rayne.
"Sure, I would love it.", said shin.
They laughed together while mizune entered the door.
" Shiniji, I am mizune and i was wondering if u would like to live with me and become a ninja of konaha.", said mizune.
" Really, that would be great, don't u think shin?", said Rayne." maybe we can be in the same class.
" That would make me happy. Thanks Mizune. I will try to be the best ninja i can be for u and Rayne.", said Shiniji.
Mizune took shiniji to her house and on the way there a boy with black hair and silver clothes with a black strip running from his neck to his shoes ran into shiniji.The boy bowed down and ran straight in like nothing happened. Mizune took shiniji to her house, and showed him around the house. Later that night, Mizune woke up from a nightmare and went to check on shiniji in his new room. She knocked on his door and yet no answer. She knocked again hoping for an answer and yet there was no answer. Mizune was scared so she entered the room to see nothing. She heard a wierd sound outside the house. So she went outside to check. There he was, she found him throwing shiriken into the tree. It was late but she was surprised to see someone up so late throwing shiriken into a tree.She stayed quietly watching him. Shiniji went up to the tree and took out the shiriken.
"Is this enough training or should i keep going?", shiniji said to himself."I do not want her to worry about me or lose her trust.She took me in and i can not make her mad."
"He does have some sence,but this is a little too much.", Mizune said quietly.She took a look into the tree and saw something strange. The marks on the tree were in circles. she slipped and fell.
Shiniji looked behind him and saw mizune and said," I am sorry. Did i worry you"
"NO no shin, u didn't. I was just wondering where u are?By the way where did u get the shiriken?",said Mizune.
"OH, I went back to the hospital and checked on Rayne. Then i asked if i could borrow some shiriken. I didn't want to ask u because u were sleeping.",Shiniji replied.
" I wouldn't mind if u woke me up. Shin u live with me now, and i expected that u would tell me everything. I do not know much about u,but as i can see you are a very hard worker. I am trying to tell u that u can trust me. okay?", said mizune." do u mind if i call u shin"
Shiniji started to cry and run towards mizune. Mizune grabbed onto Shiniji with both arms holding him close to her heart.Mizune loved the feeling she was having from holding on to Shiniji like they knew eachother for a long time.Shinij looked up to mizune's face and kissed her cheek.
"Thank u, that means so much to me. If u want i will tell u anything u want if u can do me one favor?", said Shiniji.
" What is it?,"said Mizune.
" Will u be my mom and take care of me please, I do not know wat to do anymore. I been alone for so long. I don't mind u calling me shin either.", replied shiniji.
" of course, I will Shin. I will do the best i can to take care of u. How long has it been since u seen ur parents?",said Mizune.
" I really do not know. You see, I been wondering on my own for so long. I am only eight years old, but I know i been traveling for 3 years.", replied shiniji." I do not know much ninja stuff but i handle on my own as u can see"
" Well, shin, u wanna learn some more before u go to school?",said mizune.
" If its ok with u, I would love to do so mom", said shiniji.
Mizune taught shiniji things that could help him increase his chakaraa. She taught him many techniques and jutsus. Shiniji was happy at last and wanted to learn more, but school was in less than two hours when mizune was done training him.What did shiniji learn from Mizune, Who is the boy who ran into shiniji, and where did Shiniji come from? Guess I will have to wait and see.
