Authors note: Well first off I would like to apologize for resetting the story, I gave it some though and felt that there was a fair bit that I could have done much better. There will be quite a few changes this time, and hopefully this will be a better story for it. To those who had been reading every chapter till this reset I thank you can hope that you continue to like this.
Once again I don't own Naruto.
There was rustling created by a strong breeze that made its way around at night. Tree's creaked in response, and a down pour followed, in its wake. Within a house the sounds of kunai being swung could be heard.
With a sigh a girl in her mid-teens placed a wii remote down onto a coffee table. "Well that was disappointing…. But at least it had dragons" she says walking over to the console and pressing the eject button. Taking out the disk she places it into the cover, Naruto shippuden dragon blade chronicles.
With a yawn the girl turned the television that was connected to the Wii off before leaving the room and going to her own room. Inside the room was a desk and a chair, as well as everything else one would expect in a bedroom. She slowly takes a seat in the large comfy swivel chair. Her hands dart for a laptops screen and open up the screen.
With bright flash the screen brightens the room up, on the count that the light was left off. "Alright…. Now I can work on my fanfiction" she lets out. "Now if only I could stop talking to myself" she says with a giggle to herself. The only sounds now are the rapid sounds of keys being pushed down.
Her story begins with the background of a character she was creating for the Naruto universe. Emi Tatsushio. Only after a month of being born Emi and her father were already on the run. The Tatsushio were in fact a clan that was once tasked with guarding the Genryu, a bunch of sealed dragons in mount Koryu. However it had been a long time since the Tatsushio had been known as that.
For a long time they were just considered a bunch of monsters to everyone, like those they use to guard. Most of the Tatsushio were hunted and executed in fear. Many people couldn't bare to see the Tatsushio's as they had elongated ears and horns that grew from their heads.
The last of the Tatsushio were now running and carefully trying to gather supplies in the village hidden in the leaves. Of course the father wore a hat, and ensured that his daughter, a tiny infant was covered in a blanket to hide her horns. However a loud feral roar echoes through the village causing the very ground to shake in response.
"G-Gneryu?! No…. its too different" the father mutters before a sense of dread flows over him. All of a sudden there was a loud boom, and a feeling like a dense chakara had just passed above head. And then the building above him fell to pieces on top of him and the villagers around him. Death came quick for him however his daughters cry rang through the village.
Suddenly a screech brought the attention of the girl who was typing in her room to jump. Before a bright light came beaming through her window. "What the!?" she shouts before the wall gives away and a car come hurdling the room and the house. Death came instantly, before an infant's cries pierced her ears.
"W-wait that's…..me crying?" she questions herself in her mind. She felt small, and screams above her cries could be heard. "Run! Or the nine tails will get you!" one of the shouts was identified.
"I-I have to be dreaming!?" she tries to shout out, though the words never escaped her small lips, the only sound that did was more cries. Quickly a person wearing an animal mask and a vest picks the wrapped up little baby and rushes for the nearest evacuation point. Emi could feel herself being passed from one person to another before winding up in the hands of some people who took her to an underground room.
She could recognise this room quite well, as it was the evacuation centre for everyone, that was used when the nine tails had attacked the village with Madara. "A-am i…..Emi….Tatsushio?" she tried to ask, but only more cries rung out. A loud shut up was directed at the infant Emi, the words coming from a young teen.
Another man walked in. "We just got word that the front teams have been defeated!" he shouts out.
"M-My parents!" shouts another. For a single moment Emi's cries stopped and she saw just who it was who said , my parents, it was the young Iruka sensei, that she could recall from Naruto.
"That settle's it I'm crazy" she lets out, before her cries began again. The cries continued until the Infant Emi fell to sleep. It was several hours later an anbu had checked on the infant after everything was finished with the nine tails. Upon inspection, even the calm and fearless Anbu almost dropped the baby at the sight of its small horns. Quickly the anbu held the baby and dashed off to the hokage in fear that something needed to be done about the baby. The anbu's thoughts were that the kyuubi's remaining chakara could've latched onto the child.
It was only a moment before the anbu member had made it to Sarutobi the third hokage. "Sir! We have a problem!" he shouts before removing the baby from the blanket it was wrapped in. The old man's eyes opened as wide as they possibly could. "Damn not only do we have to deal with Naruto….we now have to deal this girl as well…." He said aloud.
"Shall I dispose of her?" the anbu member asks.
"No don't. The child has done nothing wrong, and we don't know for certain what she is" Sarutobi let out before looking like he was deep in thought. "Could she be…Tatsushio?...no….it's not possible" he thought. "For now I'll look after her" he says taking the little girl from the anbu member's arms.
Emi began to stir before she couldn't help herself. Her little right hand moved out and pokked him in the face before giggling like a little baby. "Oh well might as well enjoy this little dream" Emi thought to herself. The hokage smiled at the child, clearly she wasn't evil, but those horns would get a lot of bad attention.
"I'll call you….Emi until we can learn more about you" he says to the little child.
It was during the rebuilding and clean-up stage of the village that they came across the body of a man with an odd jade medallion on him. This medallion was taken and presented to the hokage. His suspicion was correct she was in fact a Tatsushio.
"Emi Tatsushio then… I'll raise you in place of your father then" Sarutobi whispers to the infant.
Several years had gone by now. The young Emi now 9 years old. Every day she complained to Sarutobi, demanding that he let her leave her cage of a home. Despite the hokages acceptance of her, he had made sure she wouldn't go out into the village unless he could be there and cover her horns.
"Jiji please I'm begging you let me go the kyuubi festival…. At least once I'd like to go!" Emi whines out pulling at white robes Sarutobi wore as the hokage.
Having had to put up with the same whines for several years he gave in. "Fine you can go but you can't leave my side, and you must wear something over your horns at all times!" he shouts making sure she heard him.
"Hai jiji!" she shouts in response. "Finally a chance to get out of here" she thinks to herself. She had finally given in to the notion that she was now in the Naruto universe, however as great as it was, it was painfully agitating to be stuck in the same house for nine years.
Later that night Sarutobi made sure that Emi was well presented, in a blue kimono, on her head she had an Oni mask on. That way the horns wouldn't be noticed and that everyone would think she was just an odd child wearing an odd mask.
Emi was ecstatic to finally get to go to the festival, let alone outside. Holding Sarutobi's hand they began to walk down the street of the upper district towards the centre of town where the festival would be held.
The festival looked just like a traditional Japanese festival. There were lanterns lighting everything and children dressed up and running about, however as we walked through a crowd a large group chased after a blonde haired boy before they bumped into Emi and trampled over her. While she wasn't injured her mask was gone now.
There were several shouts and screams, many of them about her being a monster. Before Sarutobi could interfere, another small group began to chase after Emi. Emi now like the blonde haired boy began to run. Soon enough she came to the edge of town and ran into the forest. "And stay out of the village! You Monster!" they shouted before heading back into the village.
"Now I know how Naruto fealt" she whispers to herself, puffing out of breath. Her kimono torn in several spots. A sob echoes out nearby, wondering what it was she slowly walks around a large tree and sitting against it she saw the child version of Naruto. "H-Hey don't cry…. Everything's okay" Emi says to him before standing in front of him.
"No its not! The village treats me like a monster! And im all alone!" he shouts at her before seing her horns.
"Well then lets be monsters together then… that way we cant be alone, okay?" she says with a smile holding her hand out to him to help him up.
Naruto looked at the odd girls hand. Her clothing was torn and she looked like she had been running away from something. "Perhaps…she's just like me?" Naruto thinks to himself, as he slowly reaches out to grab her hand. "I-its warm?" he mumbles as he stands with her help.
"Of course silly… what's my hand supposed to feel like?" she teases getting a smile from Naruto.
Now standing Naruto let's go of her hand and rubs his eyes. "M-my name is Naruto Uzumaki. What's yours?" Naruto asks finding himself staring at her horns.
"My name is Emi Tatsushio…. And where going to be friends Naruto… Believe it!" she shouts out happily. Hearing his catchphrase spoken out like that Naruto laughs a bit.
"Definitely like me" he thinks happily.
And there we have the new and improved version of snow in the leaf, which shall now be called Dragon in the leaf. Chapter two should be up within a few days. Also please tell me if you'd like to see a lot more of this story as… not getting any feedback can really hamper my nerves…. I'd rather prefer not stop writing this story, but if there is no interest….
Anyhow hope you all enjoyed this. See you next time.
