~~The Fox from the Sound~~
Naru sat up in her bed and looked around her room. She was only two years old, but she was already speaking in full sentences with words that most adults wouldn't expect an eight year old to know. She was also very aware and knew that she was treated differently than other children. She was taken care of by people in animal masks who barely ever talked to her and kept especially close watch on her when she went outside. She could understand it, whenever she walked out of her house she was accosted by hostile glares and insulting words. Naru had also figured out why, I mean how many demons had attacked Konoha before, really? She pretended to be an idiot to protect herself, but she knew that the act would not stop any one from attacking her for the demon she held within her. She pretended to be ignorant and it worked; no one suspected that she thought that she was anything more than a regular two year old.
Naru sat watching the door to her house. All of the mask people had left earlier looking very agitated. She was alone in her house, but she felt that someone would be coming soon and would take her away from here.
The door opened slowly and a man with silver hair and glasses walked in. He looked surprised to see Naru staring at him with traveling clothes on and a knapsack on her back. Naru simply whispered, "I knew that you were coming. You're going to take me away from here, right? No more vicious glares or hateful whispers?"
The man looked surprised at her vocabulary and knowledge of her kidnapping, but he took it in stride and nodded, "My name is Kabuto. I'm going to take you away to get stronger. Come on." He walked away and was not altogether surprised to find that she was following him, this girl was a lot smarter than she was given credit for and would make a good ninja for the village that Lord Orochimaru was creating.
~~ Two Years Later ~~
Ninja parties were searching all throughout the forests near Konoha. The Hyuuga heiress, Hinata, and Ino Yamanaka had been kidnapped during the night and not a trace could be found of either girl.
