Chapter 1:

Finding

The chopper rocked as gunfire ripped at the sides, tearing at the armour plating that protected the occupents. The soldier looked at what remained of his squad and scowled. Half of his squad dead. This was not good. Everything they had done tonight was a success but the loss of so many members was a tarnish on an otherwise successful operation. The experimental fusion reactor was slowly counting down to destruction. No.233468 had at least done that before biting the bullet. Literally. He had gone down in a hail of brains as several bullets cut him from life. It would explode just as they hit safe distance. He smiled no bodies. No witnesses. A powerful explosion hit. He heard the pilot call for Brace positions. But it was too late.

The fire burned savagely. He turned over and winced as his arm screamed along with his ribs and leg. He stiffened waiting for the pain to die. It didn't. His muffled moan brought a blurred figure over his face. There was a strange light as a hand covered his head and he knew no more.

A dog masked ANBU stood in front of the burning wreckage . Whatever it was it didn't exist now. She and her ANBU squad were patrolling the outskirts of the village. When they saw a large shape appear out of a ring of fire. When they reached the crash site they discovered an oddly shaped metal structure on fire. Human figures could clearly be seen burning thiers faces frozen in horror. Looking around she saw a body. It must have blown clear in the crash. Suddenly it shifted and moaned. Moving quickly she knelt by the body of the young male. He was in bad shape and needed immediate attention. She performed an anaesthetic Jutsu. Hopefully he would be alright. Looking closer at him she was surprised to find his eyes and facial structure looked different to hers. He looked human but not like one she'd seen. He was taller than most men of the village and broader. She shook her head. How were they going to explain this to Saidame- sama. Checking him over she found his elbow to be shattered, five ribs broken, a cut on his head and minor internal bleeding. He was lucky to be alive. The Other ANBU came to her.

"Is he Alive?"said Wolf mask

"Yes captain, though by the looks of it he shouldn't be"

"I've called the medics in they will take him to the hospital."

"Do we contiue ?"

"Negative. We report in."

Jumping into the trees leving the crash they ran to the walls and entered the village. They passed the medics on the way to the tower.

Back at the crash site the cut on the mans forehead slowly started to seal.

Authors Note:

I have to point out that this will get better and have longer chapters. Just to put people at ease I have to say I am not one of those writers that make an O.C so powerful that he can beat kakashi with a punch. Welcome any ideas that you have. Please review.
