In the village named "Village of the Palace" there lived a young princess, her name was Nayami, but Nami for short.
She had amazing powers, when she cried it would rain. Her parents were good to their people and much loved. they like many villages had a ninja force, which Nami's three brother where a part of her father was the most elite of their village ninja, he was hokage, in order to be king or queen you had to be of the royal linage and a ninja, if you where hokage that was the best. Nami was an amazing child she mastered every ninja art and those of her own chakra. When she was ten years old a man who wanted nothing but power, her power, had her parents killed and tried to have her and the rest of her family killed as well, but after seeing her parents die and the destruction that was happening Nami lost all control, releasing her powers. Fires sprang up and the ocean flooded the land, through this Nami fought with those that were paid by the man. When the fight was over Nami had many of the men captured, she had given orders that as few as possible be killed. After that she cried and cried for seven whole days. She cried with so much of herself that it rained over the whole world. Everyone was worried about her "if she doesn't stop crying she will kill herself" her doctors said. They weren't sure that wasn't what she wanted. But eventfully she came out of her room and using her chakra to hold her up she went down to the dugongs.
She went to the man that had lead the killers through the land, he was a citizen of her village and had loved the king and queen, but the man who wanted them dead had captured his family and threaten to kill them if he did not do what was asked of him. She went down to him and started healing the wounds that she had inflicted,
"My lady what are you doing?" he sobbed; he regretted what he had done very much.
"I would not be worthy of my title if I did not care for my citizens." she told him.
After healing him she went to the crown room were she told her brothers, all older then her, that she would reign unless they wished to. Even tough she was only ten years old they knew she would make a better ruler then they would so they said that if she didn't want to they would, but other then that they were ok with it. After that she called for all the prisoners, when they were before her she gave them two choices they could swear, by blood, their loyalty to her and stay in her service for five years then she would let them go free, or they could stay in the dungeons feed but not well until they died of a natural way, she would not kill them, all of them chose to swear loyalty. After the five years they still all stayed. She was kind and they felt they had not repaid her properly, so she paid them for their services.
It had been six years and Nami was now sixteen and said to be the loveliest women in the world. She was sitting in her in formal sitting room when there was a nock on the door, "Come in." she said in an elegant voice.
"Your majesty you have a visitor," her friend and maid said, she only called her 'your majesty' when someone else was there.
"Send him in please," Nami replied.
In walked an old childhood friend, when she was little she would go out and play with the children of the village, but without telling them who she was so they would treat her the same way. But this friend she had told, she hadn't seen him in a long time and was shocked to see how handsome he looked.
"Hello Yosaku," Nami said in her sweet voice.
"Hello Nami," Yosaku replied, he had seen her when she rode through the village but he hadn't seen her so close for many years. It was hard for him to look at her, she was so beautiful. He had loved her as long as he had known her, but never let her know it, she would never love him back. Even if she did it wouldn't matter her destiny was set when it came to love. She had had a prophecy as a little girl it was said that when she died and was brought back to life the one who had killed without knowing it was her would be the one to bring her back to the living and together they would avenge their families. This suggested that the man who had killed her parents had also killed the one she would love's family. And that was not Yosaku.
"I presume you have heard the chunin exams are being held right now," she stated.
He nodded,
"Well I have asked to hold one of the tests," she said it like it was nothing in the world.
"What Nami! Hardly any young ninja know of our village and our ways, and some of them are said to be dangerous they could…"
She cut him off by standing up and walking over to him, though it was more like floating, and laying a gentle finger on his lips.
"I know, that is exactly why I want to test them, you know I am a good judge of character and you are even better then I. That is why I would like you to help me," she said.
Yosaku took a big breath then released it this was the same stubborn Nami he had played with when they where children.
"What kind of test?" he asked sitting down.
She went back to her seat and sat down as well,
"I will have one of my ninja fight them," she replied.
"One on one?"
"No in their teams of three," she told him.
This startled him, some of them had already been disqualified which meant that not all still had teams "New teams?"
"No their old teams, I know some of them aren't in the exam anymore but lord hokage of konohagakure village has given me permission to do as I please with this so if I say all those with at least one person from their team still in the exam the whole team stays in the exam."
He blinked there was something more to this but he couldn't tell what. With most people he would have been able to in minutes but with Nami it was impossible to read her, it was infuriating.
"So what do you want me for?" he asked her.
"I want you to watch and tell me what you think of them," she replied in the most offhand way.
"Why cant you?"
She was good at reading people, and she would know what she was looking for.
"I already told you, you are better at it then I am and I will be doing other things that require my attention," she said.
That did not sound good.
"You better not do some thing stupid," he told her, that made her laugh.
"Do I ever do something stupid?"
"Yes." he replied without thinking, a hurt look shadowed her beautiful face.
"I am not doing anything stupid this time alright?" was there just a little wobble in her voice.
"I'm sorry I didn't…"
"What ever you did or didn't mean is not the point the point is, will you do this for me?" she asked there was nothing but sweetness in her voice now.
"Yes, of curse." he told her, he had meant to all along.
"Good I will have you informed when those taking the exams will arrive I wish you to be at the dinner when I first meet them."
He knew a dismissal when he heard one.
As he stood up to leave he whispered "I am sorry Nami I just don't want you getting hurt."
She looked at him and replied "I know."
And with that he left.
Yosaku was right to worry she was good but she could be killed. When she thought of that boy, Gaara he was definitely dangerous. She had seen the last test he had almost been beat but he had walked out without a scratch. She wasn't worried about herself she wasn't afraid to die, it wasn't because of the prophecy, she just wasn't afraid of death. But she was worried about her people, she knew her brothers would be great rulers but she had earned the name hokage years before, even before her parents died, and the people trusted her, she knew them better then they knew themselves.
"Nami are you alright?" now that one else was with them her maid Petra called her by her name.
"Yes, yes I'm fine," Nami looked out the window for a minute, "why do you ask?"
"Well you talk about Yosaku all the time and I thought you would have been happy to see him."
"I am, it was nice to see him."
"What's wrong then, come on you can tell me," Petra sat down next to her mistress.
Nami knew she could trust Petra and she really wanted to tell someone her plan.
"Okay, for the test I will fight those taking the exams, they won't know its' me though".
"Oh Nami but even with them having three against one with you they have no chance!" Petra was a ninja as well as a maid and knew how good Nami was.
Nami laughed.
"I'm not so sure. I have seen some of them fight and they could possibly beat me. But just in case I will have it so they have a chance".
"Well as always I will help you with what ever you need, I'm guessing you aren't going to tell any one else."
"No I don't think I will, they would never let me." Nami knew that if her brothers knew they would rather tie her up in a tower then let her do that, they knew how good she was but they would never risk it.
