I would like to declare that I DON'T own Naruto coz that belongs with it's rightful owner Kishimoto Masashi. Now, with that out of the way…
Author's notes (Part 1):
Hi! I would like to stake my claim on Hatake Rin, Mayumi, Haruto, Fukada Toko, and all things pertaining to Blood Jutsu. All these are ©7 May 2003 by Anything. \(^_^)/ However, if u wish to use the idea, dun hesitate to drop me a note. (So that I can read your fanfic too!) ^^
This is a story about a ninja that has left the village 2 years ago has returned to find out the answers to some of her questions. She is an orphan, but was adopted by the Hatake family for some reason or the other.
There are some thoughts of characters/mind voices which are in single quotation marks and in bold. So, note that these are not spoken out loud, but rather what the character is thinking.
Ok, that's about it. So, enjoy!

Chapter 1: Introduction
'I'm home.' Rin thought to herself as she neared the Hidden village of Konoha. It had been 2 years since she had left the village in search of her past, a past that seemed to haunt her to no end. She wore what seemed like a forest green high slit cheongsam with tights underneath that stretched from her hip all the way to her legs. She had her hair tied up in a bun, but some of it still seemed to escape from the clips that she had used to secure it neatly. She wore her forehead protector around her neck. It had seemed like an age since she had left the place that she called home. Home. That was the one place that she had longed to return, and yet…The reality of returning was starting to sink in as she neared the village, she wondered how much has changed since she had left, and what was the Hokage going to think about her return this time…?
