Author's Note: This chapter is very short, but the rest will be longer. This is the first part of the prologue, there is a second part which is written and just needs editing. This story also has parts of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni and Elfen Lied in it, but if you don't know those then it doesn't matter, it will be explained. Also, the girl's name is from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. The summary is really bad, but I'm not sure where this story is going so I'll change it later.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni or Elfen Lied.

Summary: A girl is to protect the Village Hidden In The Leaves, after sleeping for so long, using her special abilities.

The Guardian of Konoha

Prologue, Part One: The Sleeping Girl

A young nurse, in her twenties, smiled at the ANBU Black Ops guarding the door to her patients room as she entered. She looked over to the small girl lying in the hospital bed. The girl had long, light brown hair and the thin sheet covered most of her body. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open as she breathed gently. The room was for long-term stay for a single patient, and had a bathroom attached to it. The nurse, with a name-tag reading Nurse Takano, picked up a clipboard and began to take notes from the various machines hooked up to the sleeping girl. When she was finished, she put the clipboard back down and shook the girl gently.

"Can you hear me?" She called to her. "Are you awake? Can you open your eyes?" She waited for a few moments but received no response. Sighing, she let go of the girl and wrote something else on the clipboard. "Still no response. No signs of waking." She muttered as she turned and left the room, closing the door softly on her way out. As she left, she adjusted the sign on the door that held the patients' name.
