Near the Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, there were a Village so hidden that there were rumours that it didn't even exist. Though there were a few people who accidentally entered the village and told about it existence. In this Village lived one of the strongest, most powerful clans of the country. A clan that consisted of mostly medical ninjas. This clan had a really powerful kekkei genkai, but also held a devastating curse.

The Shima-clan were a highly sought after clan, since they could put up a defense at the same time as they could heal their patients. This was due to their bloodline.

In this time of war, the Shimas' was still firm on their policy; Not taking anyones side. This could cause a problem since they were hired to sites all over the battlefields, but the Shimas were aware of this and made necessary precautions. They set their medical camps far from the frontlines.

This might sounds strange, but this was how the Village hidden deep in the mountains of the Land of Earth survived.

Just before the Third Shinobi World War, the clan of Shima were struck with several curses in the span of just a few years. It started with a child of the clan being abducted. This child would later return, for something no one could foresee. This night was the last time anyone would hear from the Shima.

Being hunted is never fun. It is less fun when one have been hunted for the last three days without rest. The young woman was tired, beaten up and seriously annoyed at the situation. Her right foot were fractured, her right arm dislocated. Yet, she had no opportunity to stop and apply first aid. These bounty hunters that been after her had divided themself into three groups of five, constantly chasing and attacking her. Whenever a group would tire out, the next one would jump in. It was really frustrating, though she had somewhat gotten used to it. This was not the first time she had been hunted like this. It had been the first time she had to jump down of a waterfall though. The hunters had cornered her and in fear for the lives she currently was protecting she jumped, dislocating her shoulder as she hit the water.

It was now turning into evening on the third day since the hunt had begun. The woman had a chance to catch a breath behind a tree. She leaned onto the trunk, closing her eyes for a few seconds while her ears listened for her perpetrators.

"Stay silent, and remember to not be seen", a grown man with blonde hair reminded a group of children. Namikaze Minato were leading his three man team on a scouting mission. They were on the lookout for any threats as well as searching for enemy supplies.

"We should split up and go in for different directions. That way we can cover more ground", a boy with silver hair and a mask suggested.

The other three nodded in agreement before jumping away, splitting up after the agreed on meeting at the same spot in an hour if they hadn't found anything suspiscious.

An hour passed, and all four gathered at the meeting spot, reporting anything that could be of use.

"Not much to work with", said the boy with goggles on his head.

"Agreed", Minato nodded in agreement. The intel he had gotten from the Third Hokage said there had been suspiscious activity around this area, but they hadn't found anything.

"What do we do now? We've been here for almost a week and still haven't seen anything", the girl said while sighing heavily. She found a big rock to sit down on.

Just while Minato was about to suggest a new strategy, they all heard some rustling from some bushes in the distance. They all took on battle positions, not knowing what they were up against.

"Stay on your guard", Minato ordered. Suddenly, the rustling stopped. It became quite for some time. The girl and the boy with goggles exchanged confused looks. What was going on? Why did the sound suddenly stop?

Minato had a concerned look on his face. He gestered to the team that he was going to look, but that the team should stay put. His team nodded as Minato turned around and starting to sneak up to where the sound came from.

"Rin, be prepared to use you healing", the boy with the silver hair said to the girl. Rin gave out a sound of agreement.

The boy in goggles started to sneak towards the sound from the side.

"Obito, get back here!", a angry voice whispered, but Obito wanted to know what was going on. He was tired of no action. He wanted to show everyone that he was brave. He wanted to impress Rin.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a girl stumbled out behind a tree to the right of the boy with silver hair. She looked weak, like she hadn't slept in several days. The girl fell forward as she fainted.

"Kakashi, look out!", Rin called. Minato and Obito turned to look at the scen unfolding. A young girl, with cuts and bruises all over had appeared out of nowhere and fainted. Right before she passed out she had tried to say something, but the words disappeard with her conscouisness. Kakashi managed to catch her just before she fell to the ground.

Hatake Kakashi woke up in his appartment in the middle of the night. He hadn't had that dream for a very long time. He sighed as he looked at the night sky outside his window. He wondered where she was. What she was doing. If she was safe. The last thought made him worried. He knew of the dangers that awaited her out in the world. He hoped he could see her again one day. As she fell into his arms that day, he fell for her.

"Who is she?", asked Obito. The girl had been placed near a fire to stay warm. A fever had her whole body shivering. Kakashi sat beside her as Obito tried to understand what just happened. Rin had tried to use her healing skills on the mysterious girl, but just as she was about to put her healing chakra in contact with the girls body, she was flung away. Everyone watched in horror as Rin had flew as if she was thrown. A few hours later and Rin still hadn't regained her concouisness.

Minato looked like he really concentrated on something, while Kakashi had a look of worry on this mysterious girl.

"Well, until she wakes up on her own, we won't know", Minato finally said.

"Should we take her back with us to the Village?", Kakashi asked. He didn't want to leave this girl like this, but he knew they had to return back to the Village tomorrow. If they could bring her with them, maybe they could still get some answeres from her once she woke up.

Minato didn't dismiss the idea, but Obito protested.

"Look at what she did to Rin! Rin only tried to help but she got thrown like a puppet and now she is unconscious. And you want to take her with us?", Obito almost screamed. He was so angry. Why were they not? "What if she does something even worse inside the Village?", He continued.

"'Don't touch me'", Kakashi cut in. Obito and Minato starred at him with confused looks. "'Don't touch me'. That was what she said as she passed out. Maybe she tried to warn us about something."

"Well, whatever she tried to say or whoever she is, she will come with us to Konoha. Maybe the Third can help us solve this", Minato suggested before the boys started to argue like they usually do. "Tomorrow we start our journey back".

She opened her eyes after what felt like an eternity. It had only passed a minute since she stopped, but she figured it was time to start moving again. The perpetrators couldn't be far behind.

She jumped up the tree, flinching at the pain from her right leg. She had no feeling in her fractured foot anymore, but the pain had started to climb up the leg. She needed to find somewhere where she could rest and fix her foot, but the sound of screaming bounty hunters made her push that thought away for now. She jumped ahead to the next branch, steadily increasing speed as she adjusted to the pain. It didn't take long until she started to recognise the area. She new where she was. A smile found her lips. She finally got a plan. Hopefully He was there and willing to help!

End of chapter 1. In chapter 2 we will find out more about this mysterious girl. Who is she and why did he tell them not to touch her?
