Walking down the village streets was peaceful as usual, not that Kurai Tsuwamono. Kurai was walking to the village market to pick up his claymore from his best friend's father's smith shop. Opening the door the bell went off alerting the family of his entrance. Kurai saw his friend run up to him and he opened his arms into a hug.

"Hey there Yukashii, haven't seen in a while where have you been?" Kurai asked the tiny girl in front of him. She smiled up at him, the girl let go and started to jump up and down.

"I was collecting more herbs to make an antidote to stop the sickness that's been going on." Yukashii told him moving here hair out of her face only to have it fall back in her face. I soon saw Yukashii father come out and Kurai's eyes followed him as he walked out of the back room.

"Hey old man you done with my sword yet?" Kurai asked Yukashii father and he nodded his head and walked to the back room and brought out a dark claymore that seemed to glow with energy. Kurai got excited at the site of his sword being back in his possession. Kurai grabbed the sword and twirled it around.

"Oi, don't break it again I hate having to fix your sword I think it hates me." The old man said walking back to the front Kurai followed him and rolled his eyes and put his sword back in its scabbard

"Maybe you're just getting old." Yukashii's father turned around and grabbed Kurai's collar. Yukashii slapped her forehead in dismay that they were fighting for the twelfth time this week and it was Monday.

"Listen here you brat I-" He was cut off by the sound of bombs going off in the village and the alarm signaling that there were bandits in the village. The old man let go of Kurai and pushed him and Yukashii to the back door.

"Kurai protect Yukashii and get out of here find somewhere safe to hide and stay low go to the shrine and hide in the undercroft from then make your way to Konoha and tell them about this raid, now go." He told them pushing them out the door.

"No daddy I want to stay with you please." Yukashii cried to her father as he locked the door. Kurai grabbed her hand and smiled at her.

"It'll be okay don't worry they'll be safe, come on let's get to the shrine." Kurai pulled the little girl to her feet and they ran to the shrine killing some of the bandits along the way. We they got to the shrine they ran through the doors and opened the door to the undercroft. They made their way to the other side leading to the entrance of Konoha. Kurai looked back at Yukashii and saw she was terrified of what might be happening to her father. Kurai tried to comfort her with squeezing her hand she smiled up at him. When they got to the entrance the two were in awe at the sight of coarse Kurai then remembered why he was here and ran to the giant building in the center of town. Yukashii was trailing behind him but not too far away. When they got to the building some guards told them to stop.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A Chuunin with spiky brown hair asked them, Kurai gave Yukashii a questioning look and they ran past the man.

"Hey wait!" They were determined to find the leader of this village. Kurai looked at the rooms around him. When Yukashii looked up at him she saw his eyes were closed and she knew what he was doing. Searching for the strongest chakra in the place, he opened his eyes and opened the door in front of him. What he saw was the Hokage and a Jonin with spiky white hair with his eye covered. Yukashii ran to up the Hokage pulled on his sleeve and looked up to him with teary eyes.

"Please save our village some bandits attacked and we need help please!" Yukashii cried to the leader. The Hokage looked at the Jonin and nodded the Jonin then looked at Kurai.

"Where is your village?" He asked the boy.

"We can take you there we came here from the passage underground, but we have to hurry" Kurai informed the man. He nodded and Kurai lead the way out.

It took a matter of seconds to get to the underground passage way. What was slowed them down was the fact that they had to pick more shinobi on the way. When we got through the passage way we saw our village burnt down.

"No how the hell were we too late!" Kurai yelled he looked at Yukashii and saw she was crying. The Jonin scanned the area.

"Check for survivors" He said and the other shinobi disappeared Kurai turned looked at Yukashii only to find her not there. He looked around and saw she was far of in the distance.

"Where is she going?" the Jonin asked.

"Her father's shop" Kurai said racing after her with the one eyed man following behind him.

"Father!" she yelled looking around soon saw him. His body was on the ground he had been stabbed repeatedly, she ran to her father's body and examined it.

"It's going to be okay daddy I'm going to heal you." She sobbed with tears running down her face. Yukashii put her hands over his body.

"Kudou Chiyo no-" Yukashii was interrupted when a pair of hands grabbed hers she looked to see it was Kurai who looked at her with an apologetic look on his face. The small girl grabbed her friend and hugged him tightly crying her eyes out. Kurai was whispering things to her while petting her hair. The silver haired Jonin walked in and walked over to the two.

"I'm sorry for your lost." He said walking over to us Yukashii looked up at him. Easier

"I want to be a shinobi, please let me join your village?" She told him confidently he looked at her with surprise then softened his gaze.

"Well if that's what you want let's go." He said walking out the door.
