Chapter 1:
It was night and the moon was high in the sky. The forest was eerily silent. A small black figure darted through the thick branches of the trees, so quiet and fast it looked like a mere shadow. The figure wore a black, hooded cloak which covered their hair, on their face was a jaguar mask.
The figure stopped feeling several more presences surrounding it. 'Shit' the figure thought, all of the new presences had chakra levels equal to the jaguar-masked figure, one of the presences chakra exceeded its own. Six figures emerged from the surrounding trees like they'd melted from the shadows and formed a circle around the figure, blocking any escape route. The jaguar-masked figure drew a kunai from a pocket on its thigh and got into a fighting stance but knew already that they couldn't win.
The figure at the head of the circle drew a short sword from its back and charged towards the kunai wielding figure. The jaguar-masked ninja jumped into the air and threw the kunai at its attacker. The attacker dodged the missile and jumped up to meet the ninja. Behind the mask the ninja smirked, it drew back its fist and punched its attacker in the chest at the same time pumping chakra into its fist. Its fist went straight through its attackers torso, spattering the ninja and other figures in blood. As soon as the first attacker was down a second jumped into action. This one drew out several shuriken and began to throw them with deadly precision at the ninja. The ninja dodged all but one of the shuriken which hit the hood of its cloak. The cloak flew off the figure, long pink hair flowed down the ninjas back and its body was decidedly feminine in proportion. The female ninja disappeared and reappeared quickly behind her attacker and stabbed him in the back with another kunai. The kunoichi was growing tired fast and her chakra levels were depleted from running. 'Shit' she thought, a third figure came at her, this one was much faster than the others and was on her before she knew it. She dodged the attacker but he caught her on the arm. The new attacker drew out a new kunai and she began to attack. The kunoichi tried to dodge the attacks but her movements became much slower. 'Crap, the weapon was poisoned' she thought frantically. Her attacker charged at her to deliver the final blow, she closed her eyes but it never came. She opened her eyes to see sand leaving the crushed bodies of her attackers. She turned around and came face to face with a new figure, this one wore brown robes and had a gourd slung over his back, the sand seemed to be retreating back into this. "You are one of konoha's Anbu ninjas are you not?" the figure asked in a deep voice. The poison had taken its toll on the female ninja and she was near unconsciousness, she nodded her head at the stranger before blacking out. Her last thought was how beautiful his red hair looked in the moonlight.
