Konohagakure Forest…

Running through the giant woods of Konohagakure no Sato, two figures could barely be seen. The first one, which was obviously a female, wore a very revealing outfit. It consisted of a white shirt that cut off above her naval, showing off both her stomach and the mesh armor she wore underneath it. Her arms were covered in white armlets, with the right one having an unrecognizable hiati-ate. She also had on a mesh shorts that had a white skirt overtop, a slit going down one side to allow movement.

She had odd features; ones that definitely made her stand out. The first was her hair color; it could only be described as a pale mint green. A small orange clip kept her bangs from her eyes, which were the most alluring feature of the unknown female. They were a light orange that seemed to shine with the surrounding light.

"We're almost there, you know?" She said, looking over at her partner.

"Hn." The male voice responded.

Her companion was much more conservative and intimidating. He stood tall, nearing six feet, and had a filled in form to match. The only visible clothing was his billowing black cloak, which he had buttoned up, with the hood up. His face was only concealed by white porcelain mask, which had an intricate blue design on it.

"You don't have to be so uptight. I know this is going to suck for you, but I'll be there, too." She said, her orange eyes showing a bit of sympathy.

"I know, I know. I appreciate it; Fū-chan. means a lot."

The female, now known as Fū, gave a simple nod. Before anymore could be said, she bounded off the tree, landing on the next branch. Her mysterious companion quickly followed suit, soon taking the lead. In the near distance, they both could see a large wooden gate with a symbol of a leaf.

Hokage's Office…

Tsunade Senjuu, fifth hokage of the hidden leaf village, was currently sitting at her large desk. On one side of it, was a stack of papers about two feet in height, and on the other—a smaller stack, maybe five inches in height. The buxom blonde sighed as she sat back in her chair, and began massaging her temples. The endless paperwork was giving her the mother of all headaches.

She quickly decided she would remedy that little problem with her own special medicine, namely a nice cup of sake. She reached into her bottom drawer, which was always kept locked, and swiftly pulled out a bottle. She was just about to pour a glass when her door opened up.

"Tsunada-sama!" Shizune charged in, yelling.

"God damn it, Shizune, what is it!"

"Tsunada-sama, there are two ninja's who claim to be from Takigakure at the front gate. They said they need to talk to you and that it's an emergency." The black haired woman replied.

Tsunade's face went from irritated, to confused, to assertive. She put back the bottle of sake, and folded her hands onto the desk. "Tell the ANBU at the gate to escort out guests immediately to my office."

"I'm on it, Tsunade-sama."

Front gate of Konohagakure…

Two ANBU stood at the front gates, in front of two newly identified Takigakure ninja. The first one was a female clad in a white outfit which revealed a lot of skin, while the other was a male in a billowing cloak. There was complete silence between the four of them, until one of the Konoha ANBU put his hand up to his ear.

"Roger that."

The man said not another word, but turned on his heel and began to walk. He waved his hand forward, signaling both his partner and the other two to follow him.

The walk towards the Hokage's office was very quiet. The female ninja was looking around the village excitedly, her orange eyes taking in all the details. Her partners face remained forward, trained on the backs of the ANBU.

Before they knew it, they were walking up the stairs and were at the door to Tsunade's office. The ANBU knocked on the door, and they were all given permission to enter the room, which they did silently. The door was shut behind them, and the four ninja stood at attention in front of the Godaime Hokage.

"Inu. Hebi. You both are dismissed." Tsunade said, with a wave of her hand.

Two puffs of smoke filled the room, and as it cleared, the two ANBU were gone. Tsunade took in the two ninja, sizing them up. She could tell they were strong, and it must be a matter of some importance if such a small village was sending out two strong shinobi for a meeting with another village.

"I'd like to welcome you both to Konohagakure no Sato. I am Tsunade, the Hokage. Might I ask who you two are?"

The white-clad girl smiled brightly and nodded, "Well I'm Fū."

Tsunade nodded, and then looked at the still mysterious figure, "And you are?"

Fū quickly jumped in, and in skittish voice said, "He would prefer to stay anonymous, Tsunade-sama. It's a privacy thing."

"You two are in my village, in my office. I'd suggest you follow my request, Fū-san." The Hokage said her voice strict and unwavering.

Fū almost argued her point with Tsunade, but her companion raised his hand up, signaling her to stand down. He slowly dropped his hood off, revealing blonde locks of spiky hair not covered by his mask. He silently unbuttoned his cloak, and split the ends apart, revealing his wardrobe.

He was wearing a short-sleeved orange shirt with an open blue vest on top of it. He had a pair of standard blue pants that were taped off at his ankles, letting his sandals cover his feet. His body stiffened up, and you could hear the man breath in deeply. He resumed his movements, tilting his head down, and removed his mask.

He had a handsome face, with sharp features, despite his obvious young age. The unique thing was, he face was adorned with six black lines on his cheek, making deep black marks that looked a little like scars. He then lifted his head, and looked at Tsunade directly.

She then saw the bluest eyes she had ever seen, the same pair she thought she would never see again. Those same eyes belonged to the boy that convinced her to come back to Konoha. The boy that once held the determination that her both her brother and lover once shared.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

Well, there you guys go. That was the first chapter of my new story, and hopefully it'll work out. Not a lot was revealed, but that was my point. I'm sure you'll have a lot of questions, but I'm sure they'll all be answered eventually. Until my next update, have fun and stay safe.
