The Guilty One: The Prologue
Just outside the outskirts of Kohonagakure No Sato, in a cave hidden by trees were three people dressed in large straw hats and long black cloaks adorned with red clouds outlined in white. It was a young teenage girl and two older men.
"You understand your part in this mission?" The smaller one of the two males spoke. His voice was low, cold and emotionless.
"Hai. . . I am to gather any information about the Kyuubi and its human vessel." The shortest of them all, and also the youngest spoke, her voice was soft yet heartless at the same time. She turned to leave when the other male spoke up.
"Good luck, shrimp, you'll need it." The male lifted his head up and smiled cockily down at the girl's small form. His pale blue complexion could now be seen and he greatly resembled a shark.
The teen girl smirked demonically and faced him. "Oh. . . I don't need luck for something as simple as this. . . no, I never need luck, Shark-man, but you do." The man glared at her for the nickname she had given him since they first met.
The teen girl glanced at the other man, his red eyes locked with her different colored eyes.
"Ita-kun, you might need to put Shark-man here back in his fish bowl soon." She commented while pointing her thumb at the male she was talking about.
A faint smile appeared on the male with red eyes, and that was all she needed before her body poofed into smoke and a clank on the ground where she had been could be heard.
After the smoke died out, there was a log instead of the teen girl.
"She's a clever one. You better respect her more, Kisame, for she's far stronger than I." The man with red eyes stated looking at the log on the floor of the cave.
You truly are more of a prodigy than I am, cousin, to have kept a substitution here without me noticing. . .
"Let's go Kisame."
"Hai, Itachi-sama." Kisame replied as he followed Itachi out of the cave.
"Hai, Hokage-sama. I would like to transfer to your village from the Hidden Waterfall Village." The teen girl said while bowing to an elderly man behind a desk in front of her.
"But. . . why is it you want to stay here? In this village?" The elderly man, who is known as the Hokage, asked curiously.
"Well, Hokage-sama. . . you take care of your village more bravely than. . . well, you know, and even though I barely know this village, I know it is a strong, yet peaceful one." The girl answered confidently as she stood up straight to look at the Hokage. "You may stay here and continue your path as a shinobi. Please, go see Hatake, Kakashi for your ANBU mask and uniform. But know that this does not happen very often. I normally would make a new shinobi start off as a Chuunin to prove themselves." The Hokage stated kindly. "Uh. . . Hokage-sama, I wish to help out as a genin squad teacher as well. Will that be possible?" The girl told him, making direct eye contact.
"Hai, I'll see to it that you can help teach one of the new genin squads. I'm afraid I can't let you train a squad on your own just yet. But may I ask why it is that you would want to help teach?" The Hokage wondered why she would take on so many duties so quickly, also keeping that eye contact with her.
"Because . . . Hokage-sama, because I want to, in a way, start over. With friends this time," She answered him, hoping to fool him into giving her sympathy, "and plus. . . I always wanted to teach the way of a shinobi to those who truly desire to become one." A small smile escaped the girl's beautiful full lips; though unknown to the Hokage she spoke truthfully.
"You are a fine shinobi and you will make a great addition to this village." The Hokage handed her a small scroll.
"Excuse me, Hokage-sama. But. . . What is this for?" The girl questioned while looking at the scroll that was in her hands. "It has the information of where you'll be residing at and who you're roommate will be. Oh. . . and also, your first mission as a Leaf shinobi." The Hokage answered with a kind smile, hiding the fact that he could sense that the girl in front of him had a dark intention in her unique eyes.
