NARUTO: THE STORY OF NINIKA VILLAGE

Syoku: Hello everybody! This is the disclaimer! First of all, this story doesn't really include any of the main Naruto characters, but is based off the the story which, I DO NOT OWN.

Naokii: Wait... So we're not going to see any of the main characters here?

Syoku: ...Uh...Well... Maybe we'll make one pop up here and there. I mean my character is an "Uchiha" after all.

Naokii: Right. Well then okay. I guess we should end the disclaimer.

Syoku: Alrighty then! Once again I will say: I do not own and am not associated with Naruto!

The wind howled through the night, whistling through the trees as three shinobi leaped among their branches. The moon was high and full, shining its pale light across the silent land, watching over all.

However, the silence was not to last.

By the mere snap of a twig, chaos unfolded. The three that were hidden within the forest, took leave of their current positions and pounced out at their targets. Who, at the moment, were already ready for a fight.

Kunais began to clash, along with many shuriken and of course, blood was spilled.

Not even an hour came to pass when the battle had come to an end. The three shinobi stood victorious over their fallen victims, completely unharmed.

"Well, that wasn't really worth our time..." one said with a cocky tone as he looked to the other two with a smirk on his face.

One of the other's looked at him and laughed,"Yeah, the next time Sensei sends us on a mission, he better make it worth our while or I'm so not in."

They both looked to the third member who sat happily on the back of one of the victims.

"Heh," she smirked,"Let's just bring these bad boy's in." She stood up and grabbed the man by the back of his shirt and began to drag him a long. "You guy's coming or what?"

"Ah! Syoku hold on wait for us!" the boy cried out as he ran up after her, picking up the other guy that they knocked out, with the other shinobi following.

They began their short journey home to none other than, Ninika Village. The village of the Ninja bounty hunters. When they reached the large gates, an evaluation was performed on them to be sure that everything checked out okay. After that was completed, they headed over to the mission's office to turn in their "catch" for the day. The three of them walked in through large, sky blue double doors dragging along the dead weights behind them, then tossing them into the room.

"Wow..." the secretary women in the office desk said in awe,"Looks like you guys finished up faster than last time. Congrats!"

"Well there's a really good reason for that," The boy replied with the same cocky tone,"Right Kumiko?"

"Right Naokii-kun! But Syoku-chan did most of the work." she stated pointing over to Syoku.

She shot them a blank stare,"What? No I didn't. It was all even." Syoku pointed out with a prideful look upon her face,"Those guys were just push overs."

The secretary gave out a soft laugh before replying,"Well, none the less, you got the job done and you deserve a good rest. Go head on home all of you."

Naokii stretched his arms up as he gave out a yawn,"Right. Thanks Ryu-san." he said before darting out the door,"Oyasuminasai!"

Syoku and Kumiko both looked at each other laughing a bit at Naokii's actions,"Boys," they smirked in unison. They then looked over to Ryu and bowed respectfully. "Oyasuminasai Ryu-san!"

"Oyasumi!"

With that, the two girls headed home together.

"Oi Kumiko," Syoku said as she nudged her with her elbow,"Do you think...that there's a better life out there?"

Kumiko tilted her head to the side,"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well, you know. Than this." she replied as she pulled out a black hair ribbon that had the Uchiha symbol at its edge,"I mean honestly, I just found out that I was an Uchiha about a week ago and I'm not doing anything to find out more about it. I'm just stuck here taking orders."

"Wow...It actually sounds kinda bad when you put it that way, but what can you do? Run away from the village?"

"Ha!" Syoku laughed,"Honestly, if I could, I would, But I'd rather keep my head thanks."

"Can we change the subject?" Kumiko asked, starting to feel a little depressed,"You're making me feel like a prisoner..."

"Well...That's kind of what we are...Don't worry, I'm going to find a way to escape, you'll see." Syoku stopped by a nearby gate and unlocked it,"Oyasumi."

Kumiko nodded in agreement,"Oyasumi."

Continuing on home by herself, Kumiko was left pondering about everything that her friend had just said. In many ways, she was completely right. Their life has been like a prison, except for the occasional far away missions. She finally arrived at her front door, unlocking it and walking into the empty home.

Meanwhile, Syoku was lying in her bed, wondering about the same things, but she was actually determined to escape. 'I'm going to get out of this place...' she thought to herself,'I don't care if I have to run away for the rest of my life...I'm getting out of here...' Slowly but surly, she eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Naokii, Kumiko, and Syoku all met up at the giant tree in the training grounds. It was their day off, so they had plenty of time to kill.

Looking over to the other two, Naokii noticed that they were acting much quieter than usual, so he decided to break the silence,"So...What's on yo-"

"I'm leaving..." Syoku interupted with a somewhat dissapointed look upon her face.

"What?!" Kumiko and Naokii asked in unison.

"Wh-what are you talking about Syoku!" Naokii exclaimed in an outburst,"If you go, they'll hunt you until they kill you!"

"He's right Syoku-chan! You know the rules!" Kumiko agreed with a nod.

"I'm sorry you guys, but I can't stand it here anymore..." she said with grief in the tone of her voice then looked up to the both of them,"You guys are like my family, and I love you both to death...I want to know if you'll come with me."

The two stepped back in shock and looked at each other.

Kumiko stepped up first before saying shamefully,"As much as I want to Syoku...I can't bring myself to do it..."

Naokii nodded in agreement with a shameful look on his face.

Looking down to the floor, Syoku felt her heart sink,"Right..." she said trying to hold back her tears,"Well, I'm leaving tonight. Will you come say goodbye by this tree?"

They nodded feeling pretty bad about themselves for letting her down.

"Kay, then I'll see you both later..." with that she left them alone and headed to her home one last time to get ready.

By the time night had fallen, she already had a plan of escape.
