PROLOGUE


I stare at the big, wooden doors that allow entrance into Konohagakure. The wind blows suddenly, giving me an ominous feeling. Nonsense, I think. I have nothing to worry about. The world is at peace at last. It has been eight months since the falling moon incident and relations between the nations couldn't be better. I can see it in the attitudes of people too. Everyone is just a little kinder and friendlier, trusting and carefree. How I wish nii-san could see this. He would be so happy. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and step further.
