Note: This is a story that is in the 'Naruto' world, but is in no way part of the canon, its kind of AU. It is pre-Shippuden in the manga. Enjoy.

Prologue

(Like it? Read more. Don't? Leave.)

A calm forest gently swayed. Fog was slowly receding into the early morning sky, revealing a pair of figures on an empty field. The only movement was that of a blonde, clad in dark greens.

The blonde-haired girl silently approached her teammates, who were sitting quietly. Both were waiting for their teacher with a nin-dog. She was almost behind them, before the nin-dog's kikai swirled giving her away. A dejected scowl bursts across the impish face. The only response from the remaining two was uncaring glare and a wistful nod.

The latter got up and began moving quickly towards an approaching figure. Soon to be followed by the other two, one gracefully, the other with a loping strides. The tall and silent character met them, halfway into the field. She walked efficiently, with the great resolve, before leading the group into a division of the village.
