The day that Hisako Kazekayou came to the Hidden Leaf Village of Konoha was a strange day indeed. The trees whispered and moved, though there was no trace of even the faintest breeze. It was completely overcast, and yet the sky was as bright as day. And when the strange girl with red and black silk for hair came walking through the gates, little eddies of dust and leaves swirling at her feet, all stopped and stared. They were wondering if this lean, waif-like and ethereal maiden were a spirit of the wind herself. She had an air about her that commanded attention, despite her size. Her eyes burned like a fiery opal, constantly changing colors, shot through with white and gold and blue and green. She moved like a specter through the village and into the forest. People debated whether she was a ghost, a ninja, or both. She was only twelve at the time, and the fact that a girl of that age was traveling alone aroused suspicion. However, none had the courage to follow her, and she passed through unhindered.
