The Forgotten

Chapter One: The False Ninja

My name is Tennyo , I am a criminal. I have betrayed my people, disgraced my family's name, dragged our ways through the mud, and I have even murdered my best friend. My name is Tennyo and I am a criminal. I ask this one favor of you, forgive me divine spirit for I have failed and sunk so low… forgive me.

A young girl ran through the densely wooded forest of the country of fire. Her borrowed over sized attire gave her the appearance of a poor country side ninja. Even the large straw hat that adorned her head looked as if it had seen better days. Her body was ravaged from the inside due to the poison flowing through her veins and fatigue was starting to take its toll on her. Her chakra was nearly gone and that small fact rendered most of her jutsus useless. But the companions she had summoned before the infectious bite plagued her, remained dutifully at her side. A small nine tailed silver fox no bigger than a house cat, matched her speed as they made their way through the forest. While the strange looking pink rabbit watched her back from the knapsack she carried. The three had no real destination, they only hoped to get to the hidden village to rest and recover enough to elude their pursuers once more.

Tsunade-sama! This just arrived! Its urgent!" Shizune shouted as she ran through the halls and threw the doors of Tsunade's office open. Tsunade who was up to her neck in paperwork, looked up from her work not sure what to expect.

"Well what's so urgent you need to cause a ruckus loud enough to raise the dead?" Tsunade said as she took her usual annoyed stance at her desk. Shizune slapped the bloodied paper and battered photograph in front of Tsunade. The fifths eyes widened and it took her a minute to realize what she had read was no joke.

"What are we to do?" Shizune looked at Tsunade in sheer bewilderment.

"Alert every able ninja in the village to apprehend this girl. And bring the head of every family to my office. This will get ugly…"Tsunade said as she regained her composure.
With that Shizune ran off to fulfill the fifths request.

"Please wait here this time Iyasu. I don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to us. That goes double for you Sano!" The nine tailed fox said nothing and curled into a ball to nap in the midst of the messy sheets. The rabbit lowered her head in annoyance and joined Sano. Iyasu enjoyed being out and about but most villagers were startled by the fact she was an obscure looking rabbit. While Sanosuke flat out scared most villagers as small as he was.

"Ten-chan, be careful, the winds-" Sanosuke was cut off by Tennyo.

"I know already! I'll be fine I'm just going to restock our supplies. Stop worrying, I'm coming straight back to the inn so I can rest with you two." Tennyo spoke with the up most confidence as she bid her companions good bye.

This is my first Naruto fanfic, so feed back would be awesome. :P
