I have finally finished the first chapter. I know this chapter isn't very long, but I promise you the next chapter will be longer. This is the first book of The Ruin Chronicles. There is currently a plan to have at least three books. The first two written by me, Ryan Maguire, and the third written by Alexiss MacPhail. I would also like to acknowledge our editor Rachel B who has already proven to be a postive addition to the story crew. Now time for the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Me, Alexiss and Rachel do not own Naruto, we only own the characters and story line we create.
Now on with the story.
The Ruin Chronicles
Book 1: The Village Hidden in the Ruins.

Chapter 1: Prologue
The Ruin Village was always a happy and fun place, until the Nine-tailed fox came through. It crushed the only entrance and exit to the village, trapping all the villagers in the village. After the fox was sealed inside a human body, people began to search for the Ruin Village.. They spent years searching for the entrance, digging into the ground, but they were never able to get out.
The villagers to this day are still working on digging there way out, but seems whenever they make big progress the whole passageway collapses again. It has been fifteen long and rough years, the food supply was running low and the villagers were always fighting over the food.
Now every villager, ninja or not, older then ten was required to work on the tunnel. Out of all the villagers, only one has been banned from working on the tunnel. That villager was Rohan Jinsen-ko, a fourteen year old ninja.
Rohan was still an Academy Student, as was most Ruin ninja his age. He has dark orange hair and orange eyes. He is always wearing something orange. He was always very lucky, when he was five he won a life-time supply of ramen and curry. When he turned ten, someone came up to him and gave him his own apartment.
He was glad to finally have his own apartment, since he grew up in a foster home. The kids always teased Rohan because he was always doing something stupid. Like once, when he got a pet hamster and tried to give it a bath in a piranha filled lake. Now let's just say that the hamster is not with us anymore.
Rohan was banned from working on the tunnel because whenever he worked on it, it would collapse again and destroy all the progress made. After the fifth mess up the Ruinkage banned him from working on the tunnel permanently.
The villagers were on a lunch break and left another fourteen year old ninja named Markylo Sanada, in charge until they got back. Markylo was a laid-back ninja who was always falling asleep when he was supposed to be training or working. He has black and red hair and wears all black clothes.
As usual Markylo was sleeping when he was supposed to be working on the tunnel. While he was sleeping Rohan walked by and noticed the sleeping Markylo.
"WAKE UP!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. The scream didn't even cause Markylo to move.
That's it, I'm tired of how he gets to work on the tunnel, but chooses to sleep instead!. Rohan thought as he went and picked up a shovel.
"WAKE UP!" He screamed even louder as he threw the shovel at Markylo. The shovel went flying away from the direction of Markylo and hit the pile blocking the tunnel.
After the impact rocks started crumbling down. Oh no, not again. I better get out of here.Rohan thought as he ran away from the crumbling pile.
After Rohan left Markylo awakened to the sounds of the falling rocks. "What happened!?" He exclaimed running over to the pile. He quickly pulled the shovel out from the pile causing it to tumble down.
When the dust settled Markylo noticed his fellow workers returned when they heard the rocks falling. All the workers were staring at Markylo in amazement. "How did you do it?" One of the workers asked Markylo.
"Do what?" Markylo replied in confusion.
"Open up the pathway, freeing the village." Answered the worker.
Markylo quickly turned around and looked at the entrance to the village. What was once blocked by rocks was completely open again. "Quick call the Ruinkage!" Markylo shouted.
"Already done." Replied another worker.
There was a quick flash of light and the Ruinkage appeared in front of the workers. "Great work you guys, I was starting to think we would never clear the tunnel." He said in amazement.
"Yeah, I guess all our work payed off." One of the workers said.
"But, you guys were-" Markylo started before one of the workers covered his mouth.
"Yeah well I better go inform the council that the village has been freed." The Ruinkage said before disappearing as quickly as he appeared.
"Hey what was that for!" Markylo screamed after the Ruinkage left.
"We know you don't want all that attention, and we know you just got lucky." The worker started to explain. "We just want the same credit as you get."
"Yeah whatever, let's clean up this mess people before the crowd forms." Markylo told the others. And before I fall asleep. He thought as he got to work.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I hope to have the next chapter up in less then two weeks. Please review.
