Author's note- Okay, this is my first fanfic, so I'd appreciate reviews if you read it. Disclaimer- any characters and elements from Naruto belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I'm borrowing them for fun. It'll get funnier later.
I've lived in the forest around the Leaf Village for almost seven years, developing enough skills to survive, and picking up jutsu by watching the ninja practice. Several times, people have found the signs of my presence and sent ninjas into the woods after me, but they've never found me. I've finally gathered enough courage to go into the village and ask the Hokage-the leader of the village- if I can enroll in the Academy and train to become a ninja.
I'm waiting until the morning to go in, as sneaking around isn't exactly conducive to trust. I know that I'm capable of being a ninja, but I have no way of knowing if I'll gain permission. If she's uncertain about allowing me, I'll ask for a trial by combat. I know that I'll win, using jutsu or not. I have several other ways of fighting, all of them effective. I can control the elements, even up to the extent of making fire come out of my body parts, I can take a person down from the inside by hitting pressure points, I can communicate through thoughts, and I have a Sharingan, a Mangekyo Sharingan, and a Byakugan. I have other kekkai genkai, (bloodline limits) so I'm almost untouchable in a fight. I can use my water control to heal injuries, and I have some water from the Pool of the Spirit of the Moon, that can heal any injury except death. I've taken my control of the elements to the next level, allowing me to control metal, the fluids and chakra in another body, and to create and manipulate lightning. My manipulations don't use chakra, which is a useful thing, I guess. My names are Torabaru, which means Trouble, or Denja, which means Danger.
My mother, who gave me these names, had the ability to know what a person would be like in their life, and named me for what I would turn into. I have long, reddish-brown hair, mossy green eyes, and a tall, slender body. I carry around two large containers of water, fitted to my back, one crossing from my left shoulder, curving around to have the cork above my right hip, while the other one is opposite it. My small, precious flask of Spirit Pool water is in a container made of diamond that I pulled up from the earth and formed into a hollow, flattened sphere. It hides between the two large flasks of water, which are leather-covered soft plastic. I have but one purpose in life- become a ninja and make myself a useful person.
I woke up on the morning when I was going to civilization, already doubting my choice. I shook off my doubts, opened the earthen opening to my cave and walked toward the gate of the village. I entered without mishap, and made my way toward the Hokage's dwelling. I was stopped at the door by two ninja, one of which stepped forward and said, "What's your business here, stranger?"
"I have a request to put before the Hokage." They stepped back, after directing me to stay there, and conversed in low voices. I didn't even have to strain my hearing to listen in.
"What do you think? She certainly looks unthreatening, although her clothes are strange. I wonder what they're made of? They're different colors, but the fabric looks the same."
"I say that we let ANBU search her, then, if no weapons are found on her, we tell Lady Tsunade about her and her message."
