*Prologue: A Quiet Dream*

"{Twelve years ago, after the Era of Great War ended and peace returned at last to the Hidden Leaf Village…tragedy struck. A monstrous fox, with nine tails and strength that could level mountains, attacked the village! It destroyed half of Konoha and claimed many lives but was at last defeated by the fourth Hokage of the leaf village. In exchange for his life, he sealed the fox spirit inside the belly of a baby. But who cares? So the leaf village was in jeopardy, I'm not from there, so why should I care? I know that sounds kind of harsh, but they also made it out alright, so I restate the question: why should I care? Hi, I'm Koudo, and I should be paying attention in class; but why? I ace all the tests, I'm the prodigy of my clan and it's not like I don't already know what our sensei is talking about. Maybe I'll just take a quick……..(yawn) nap}."

"….Koudo! Koudo! KOUDO!!!!" Yells Teinei Sensei.

"Huh?! Huh?! Oh, sensei….what?!" Asks Koudo.

" Whadayamean What?! Class is over, you overslept."

"Oh. Okay then……see ya tomorrow sensei! ^-^" Koudo cheekily replies as he attempts to make his escape. But Before he can get away, Teinei grabs him. "Did you really think I'd just let you walk away?" Asks Teinei with a skeptical tone. " Oh C'mon Sensei! It's not like I did anything!!!" Yells Koudo.

" Exactly! You've done none of the homework I've assigned you! Or the group assignments and your participation grade has severely dropped since….(sigh)well since…February 19th." Says Teinei with a drop in tone.

"….So what if it has? You think I care?! I haven't failed a single test, nor have I stopped in front of a single challenge you've thrown at me! February 17th has nothing to do with it! Tch! I'm leaving." Koudo says as he walks away from Teinei. " Koudo. It's just that….at lunch, you're always alone. And I haven't seen you hang out with any friends…." Teinei is able to say before he's cut off. " Friends are for the weak! That's my motto." Koudo says. He then warps away to the roof where he can see Teinei, but Teinei cannot see him.

" Oh Koudo…is that what you truly believe?" Teinei says as he warps away.

"…..no." Koudo whispers to himself as he begins to silently cry.

*Later at Home*

Koudo sits on his bed sweating after training and sips some cool water in a cup near his bed.

"{So what if I'm a little lonely? I've got an estate all to myself! And I'm a skillful ninja. AND starting next week I'll be a genin! Most kids are worried about the exams tomorrow. But I'm not, all I'm worried about is what kind of people I'll be partnered with. Oh, I never finished my introduction. I'm Koudo Kengen! I'm Twelve years old and the only survivor of the Kengen clan. Only no one cares! (At least…not as much as I hear about that last Uchiha…)

I'm the heir to a rare kekkei genkai called the (Ready?)

Danchou-Kyanon (The Danhou for short!). I live in the Hidden Rock Village. It's a rough and tough place, full of many strong shinobi. Now…I should probably explain my being an orphan. And I suppose you want to know the Jenosaido-Juushichi (A.K.A. The February 17th incident)? Well, you're in luck; because the two are linked. On February 17th at 11:09 (Which is when I discovered what had happened, and I was the first person to discover what had happened) I awoke to the sound of my mother dying and in an instant I had her in my arms hugging her. Her last dying words were "….I love you. Even the Kagai you." She told me she loved me even when I'm bad. (Hic, sniffle) And after taking a look around, I saw my father, brother, sisters, and all of my family massacred. Everyone in the village pitched in for the cleanup, but after that…they just….left. They left as in a clean house would right all the wrongs. I was all alone. But it's all right! Because staring next week I'll be a real ninja!! With that I'll get stronger and stronger. And eventually…I'll track down the killer and kill him! With this scar he left me (The one above my left eye), I make this a promise!!! (Yawn). ….I'm tired.}" With that, Koudo passes out and sleeps.

*At the school (The Day of the Exams)*

Teinei sits at his desk with two other chunin in front of Koudo as he prepares to take his oral and action exam.

" Are you ready Koudo?" Teinei asks.

" Yes Sensei." Koudo answers.

"Alright, let's start with a simple one. Perform a successful clone." Another chunin commands.

" I thought you'd give me a hard one." Koudo says as he makes a hand sign.

" Just do it Koudo!" Teinei yells. "(Sneer) Clone Jutsu!" Koudo Yells as a bunch of smoke fills the room. When the smoke clears, a perfect mirror image of Koudo is standing with him." Excellent job Koudo." Says one of the chunin.

"Thank you sensei!" Koudo says.

"Okay, now do a basic earth jutsu." Says Teinei.

" No problem. Earth Style: Gen armor Jutsu!!!" Koudo says as spikes and a whole armor grow out of his skin.

" Excellent work." Says Teinei.

"Thanks sensei!" Koudo says again.

"And finally, perform a creative jutsu you invented." Says the other chunin.

" I've been waiting for this part!" Koudo says as he grins.

"Go on." Says Teinei.

" Earth Style: Silent Earthquake Jutsu!!!" Koudo says as nothing appears to have changed."What did you do?" Says a chunin. "Watch." Koudo says as he begins to walk. As he walks the floor begins to break wherever he steps. He punches a wall and makes a whole through it the size of his fist. After he pulls his hand out the whole wall crumbles out of no where. " How's that?" Koudo confidently grins.

" Very Impressive." A chunin says.

" I can tell by the look on your face what you're waiting for. Koudo, let me be the first one to tell you that starting now. YOU ARE A NINJA OF THE HIDDEN ROCK!" Says Teinei proudly.

"Yes!" Koudo screams/" But don't get cocky now. It only get's harder from here on out." Says Teinei as Koudo runs out with his headband.

" Whatever comes my way…I'll be ready."
