AN So if you've read this before I apologize for the wretched writing. I went through and edited all the misspelled words and a few grammar errors. I cringed the whole way through. Anyway I hope it's easier to read now. Also it does get better this chapter and the next few are a little boring well to me, but It'll get better. I'm writing by the book and movie. Depends which scene I like best. Let me know your thoughts and how I can improve thank you very much for reading. Sorry, for putting this on hiatus for awhile but I hit a block so now I'm revising and trying to write the next chapter.
She stared blankly at the third hokage and then she began speaking or ranting. "So your saying that I'm suppose to go to this civilian sch-."
"School for young witches and wizards actually. So not technically civilian. They classify most civilians as muggles. Which means non magical folk as I've been informed." The third corrected. She continued her rant.
"Okay, school for magical wierdos to protect a kid-"
"Your not much older than him actually."She slightly glared at him.
"To protect this magical wierdo with a lightening shaped scar on his forehead, from some guy he supposedly killed when said guy tried to kill him with a forbidden curse or spell. Which said guy hasn't been seen or heard from since. My point being, from what I've heard. It seems pointless for you to be sending someone like me only a genin, and when the chunnin exams are coming up."
The third Hokage Sarutobi had been expecting this exact reaction from her. But he knew she was one of the few, if not only, shinobi for this mission. She was fluent in multipule languages despite being the age of 12. She also not only graduated at the top of her class but a year early, having already bern put in the academy early as well. He had considered sending her whole team but seeing she was two years younger then her team mates it would be easier for her to go alone. This would be her first solo mission which normally he would've sent a jonin on. But she was the perfect age. Though he still wished he could send her whole team as well.
Sarutobi looked up at her, from his seated position behind his desk, to find her waiting for him to speak. He knew the only reasons she wasn't jumping at taking this mission. Them being, that she was planning on taking the chunnin exams again with her team after their failure last time, which she considered her fault. The second being that she was uncomfortable with the idea of not having her teams back up if needed. This also being a reason the third had been so weary about accepting this mission when he had been approached by the wizard known as Dumbledore.
"I know you were looking forward to taking the chunnin exams again," he began. "But I have talked with your teacher and He agrees that your team could use more training anyway. I believe by the time you have returned from this mission you'll be able to take the exams with your team mates upon your return." He paused checking to see how well she was following this. She still looked on edge but seemed to be more interested in the mission now. So he continued.
"I also know how you feel at the idea of having no back up. Which I would prefer your entire team to go with you but that seems impossible. But you're a very capable for Gennin, and I believe you will be fine on your own. Also keep in mind that the professors are capable of helping you if you find yourself in need of help."
She looked a lot more interested now though she kept her face void of emotion, he could tell she actually had wanted to take the mission from the start.
"Okay. but I have one condition," she smirked.
The third nodded slowly also knowing she'd say something like this.
"And what would that be?" he asked her.
"That you teach me or give me a scroll on the shadow clone jutsu," she stated.
He was shocked to say the least. He hadn't been expecting her to want to learn about using shadow clones.
"Is that your only condition? And are you sure you want it be shadow clones?" She stared at him for a moment.
"Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't sure, Hokage-sama. I've been interested in the technique ever since I read it in a book." He sighed knowing it'd be impossible to sway her mind now. "You'll only take this mission if you learn this. Am I right?" He said..
"Yes, Hokage-sama. If you teach me now. I'll leave right a way for this mission" she nodded.
He stared at her for a moment contemplating the situation.
"Fine. You should have about a week before you till Headmaster Dumbledore will come for you. By that time you should have said you good byes to your team mates and friends. I will also have Isamu teach you how to perform the shadow clone jutsu properly," he paused for moment while looking in one of the drawers. "Here this should contain the jutsu technique for shadow clones. Please give it to Isamu or bring it back to me before you leave."
He handed her the scroll. A look of pure excitement flashed in her eyes. "Thank you hokage-sama. I will have this back soon, I promise." Then she bolted out the door heading for the training grounds, most likely. The Sandaime Hokage chuckled lightly, wondering if she really could learn a jutsu such as the shadow clones in less than a week..
One week later...
Hikari smiled as she saw the date on her calendar. She had successfully managed to learn the shadow clone justu in only four days. The last two days she had spent training with her team for the last time before she left. She had not been able to tell her team mates the details of the mission sadly. All she had been able to tell them was that she was going away for a while and that she would write if she had the time. She didn't want to make it sound like and important or even interesting mission. She didn't want them to worry or want to come. So she had decided not to say good bye to them either she hated Good byes any way. She was happy that she would leave early in the morning though, even though she wasn't really a morning person.
She turned around to check her room one last time before finishing with her packing. She had a few non-ninja clothing packed. She hoped she would be able to buy some clothes on the way to the house she'd be staying in before attending the school. She also had packed a spare set of black ninja shoes and her spare ninja attire. She turned to look at her team picture one last time.
"I'll be seeing you guys when I get back," she mumbled. Then she grabbed her bag zipped it shut and made her way to the hokage's office.
Hikari stood outside the Hokage's office door. She sighed and then knocked.
"Come in," she heard the Hokage say. She opened the door and walked in the room. Her teacher Isamu, was there as well as a man that she did not know. He had a long silvery-white beard, he also wore strange clothing robes of some sort she noted. She quickly noticed she was staring and bowed to the third.
"I am here to report for my mission, Hokage-sama," she stated.
"Ah, so this must be the young Kunoichi you have assigned for me?" The man in strange robes asked the Third.
"Yes, this Hikari. She is, despite her being a Gennin, a very skilled and powerful young kunoichi. So you have nothing to worry about." The Hokage confimed.
The man Dumbledore, Hikari had remembered his name, turned to look at her again. She looked at him for a moment then took a quick glance at Isamu, who looked as if he could've slept longer, then returned her eyes to the Hokage.
"I believe you have said your good byes and are prepared to depart on your mission. Do you have anything you need to take care of before you leave?" The Sandiame Hokage asked her.
"Yes I have and no there is nothing, Hokage- sama." She replied.
"This Headmaster Albus Dumbledore," he said and nodded towards Dumbledore.
Claudia looked him and bowed slightly.
"I'll do my best, Headmaster Dumbledore," she promised.
"Call me Professor Dumbledore. I am happy to have a kunoichi such as you attending Hogwarts. Oh, yes here." Dumbledore pulled out a letter and handed it to her. "This is your letter of acceptance to Hogarts School of witch craft and wizardry suggest you reading it once we get you to Hagrid."
Hikari looked over the envelope quickly noting that it was addressed to Claudia Amell. She looked up at the Hokage.
"So I'm take it that Claudia Amell is my name on this mission?" She asked. The hokage nodded.
"Yes, we thought that the name Claudia wouldn't stand out." She nodded.
"Well then I suppose it's time for you to leave." The Hokage said.
She then bowed to both the Hokage and Isamu, who hadn't said a word the whole time, probably due to the fact he'd been half asleep. Isamu stepped towards her and put hand her head.
"You'll do a good job kiddo I have no doubt." He then hugged his student.
"If you don't write to us.. I'll make sure to tell Kazuki the truth about 'The Ramen incident'," he whispered then he stepped back and noted horrified look on his students face. Isamu was now satisfied with creeping his student out.
"Good luck.. And remember for Kazuki's innocence... Ja'ne Hikari. Also I promise to achieve my goal of finally scaring Tadashi by the time you get back." With that said Isamu disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The third chuckled knowing how much Isamu loved scaring/creeping out his students. "So I take it Tadashi is still unfazeable?" The third asked Hikari who still seemed horrified. Shaking herself out of it she replied.
"Yes, well except for what we call 'the ramen incident' it was..." she trailed off, staring off into space for second. Then she shivered "I don't think I can talk about it..."
The Third shook his head, not wanting to know what Isamu had done to his poor students. Dumbledore was amused by this, but he was curious about 'The Ramen incident'. He wondered what exactly it was that happened. He looked towards Hikari now called Claudia. She stilled seemed slightly disturbed.
"Umm.. W-when are we leaving?" She asked both the Hokage and Dumbledore.
"Ah yes, right well I think we can leave now. If you are ready?" Professor Dumbledore said.
She nodded and then looked to the Sandiame Hokage.
"Yes I believe now is a good time. I wish you luck on your mission. And I would hope you write if not for me, for your poor team mate's sake. I hate to think of what Isamu will do." The hokage said while chuckling at the end.
"I will. Ja'ne, Hokage-sama" Hikari stated. Dumbledore held out his arm.
"Come you may want to exhale." She did as she was told. "Good Bye Hiruzen." And with that Dumbledore Apparated.
