The Exchange Program

Yukiko is a ninja from the Village Hidden the Rain. He is sent to the Leaf Village as part of an exchange program. As soon as he arrives, he is assigned to squad 7 and falls for certain pink-haired kunoichi. But he's part of a dark plan the Rain has conjured up that he doesn't know about. Will they still be able to trust him?

Village Hidden in the Rain – unknown room

In a dark room, four robed people are having a conversation. "Pain is dead. The Leaf killed our best ninja." One of the figures said.

"They must pay for the their crimes!" Another figure exclaimed.

"But how are we supposed to do that? Our secret weapon is destroyed."

"Do not despair yet, gentlemen. For we still have HIM." The figure said confidently.

"But he hasn't even awakened to his power yet. How do we do that."

"He will. We just have to push the right buttons is all." The man grinned evilly.

Meanwhile

"Hey, sis! I'm home!" A boy entered the house. He was about 5,6, had a medium build, wore a light purple sleeveless shirt, camo shorts, black sandals, and had a black headband with the Symbol of the Rain Village on it. He was wearing it all under a black poncho. He also had aquamarine eyes and wavy long cerulean blue hair. This boy was Yukiko Miyazaki, a shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Rain.

"Welcome back, bro." A girl said, running up to Yukiko. She was a centimeter shorter than Yukiko. She had fair skin just like her brother's, the same aquamarine eyes and cerulean hair, except her hair was medium length. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and baggy blue jeans. This girl was Reiko Miyazaki, Yukiko's younger twin sister.

"So, how was your day?" She asked.

"Terrible. I had to help clean up the warehouse today because nobody showed up there to clean it. I can't believe they got us chunin doing menial work for them." Yukiko groaned.

"Oh! I nearly forgot. This letter came for you today. It's from the Lords of the Rain."

Yukiko was surprised to hear this. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, here." She said as she handed him the letter.

He opened the envelope and read the letter. "Are you serious?" Yukiko looked a little annoyed.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"It says I'm a part of an exchange program with the Rain and Leaf villages and I leave starting tomorrow."

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah, unfortunately." He said.

"Why do you sound so sad?" She asked. "You get to stay at a place that's not raining all the time."

"Because, I'm not here protect you. I dedicated my life to protect you, Reiko."

"I'm not that weak you know!" Reiko exclaimed. I may not be a ninja but I can take care of myself."

"A-Are you sure?" He asked. Sounding a bit worried.

She simply nodded.

"Alright." He said with a small smile.

"You want me to make dinner?" She asked.

"Nah. I'm too tired to eat right now." He replied.

"Well good night." She said.

"Night." He replied as he entered his room and went to sleep as soon as he hit his bed.

The next morning

"Goodbye, bro." Reiko said while hugging her brother.

"Bye." He said. Returning.

After they said their goodbyes, Yukiko hopped on the boat and the other man on it started rowing away from the rainy village.
