BANG!
Yeah that's right we blew up the house. Uncle probably never even saw it coming the old man is an idiot, wait did he survive... damn it he did. This isn't the first time we've tried to kill him, there was the time we threw all those kunai knives at him and he slipped missing every signal one and the time we pushed him into a river forgetting he could swim. He's one of those "just won't die" kind of guys. "Mizuki gets the blame!" my three older brothers all shouted as we watched the house burn down. How rude I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mizuki a eleven year old ninja from the village hidden by the clouds and this is my heartbreaking, awesome, funny, sad, brave saga. Don't judge me okay! Let me take you back a few years and tell you more about me and my brothers and uncle that won't die.

Chapter One
History

I'm gonna take to back you back about seven years to a small village just outside the borders of the land of lightening, the town's name is long forgotten and the warriors long gone. It was a small town but some of the best ninjas came from there. It was small, neat and hidden from any danger. One of the best ninja academy's was in this town and almost every ninja that ever attended was born with excellent skills and abilities. Every ninja that was ever trained in this village was one of the very best but that all changed one day when the village was attacked.

It was almost sundown and I was playing ninja with my older twin brothers Raijin and Raiga, they convince dad that all three of us should be in the same year so we have a higher chance of recreating team bolt - this team was the towns best squad ever; dad, uncle and our aunt. Dad and uncle are twins and our aunt was a year younger just like I am - We were throwing kunai knives at the target we painted one the tree just outside our house, "Mizuki you almost got it!" Raijin said high fiving me just after I had thrown a knife that almost hit the middle circle. I was a small child with dark brown curly hair and green eyes, I was what you could call a runt. I almost died at birth, I was born premature and wasn't breathing. I'm not strong like the twins but I'm fast like Kenzo our eldest brother, he passed his chunin exams just last month, any way back to the story. Raiga threw his knife but just before it hit the tree it clashed with another, a tall man wearing all black with a mask had thrown the knife. "Such a pity." The man said taking out a shuriken and walking towards us, he was soon joined by two more men both dressed in black and wearing masks but these men had swords in their hands. "Kids go find your mother!" I heard a lady shout down at us, we turned to see our neigbour standing on our roof. She threw a knife at the one man and it hit him right in the neck, the knife pierced the skin and blood started to flow out the cut just before his dead body hit the ground. Raijin grabbed my hand and dragged me into the house where we ran to our weapons chest, a hole in the floor under the kitchen table where we hide our weapons. We were soon joined by Kenzo who helped moved the table while I watched as the neigbour fought the two other men off. From the chest I took a carrying bag full of shuriken and dad's lucky lightning dagger which is shaped almost like a lightning bolt hence the name. I looked out the glass doors that led outside and noticed that Tsuyoi our mothers dog had joined the party - our mom was Inu, she had brown curly hair and light blue eyes, she's not originally from this clan. She was born and raised in the Inzuka clan and Tsuyoi has been her partner ever since she got him, she met dad while traveling and after they got married moved here -. "Kids!" mom shouted as she ran through the doors followed by a few members of the towns ANBU, "Listen to me. The town is being attacked by strange men. these men won't think twice about killing you..."
"Inu!? Where are the kids!" my dad said running down the stairs that leads to the second floor, around his arms he held four bags. He placed the bags on the counters and started packing food, medical supplies and more kunai knives into them. Tsuyoi had now joined us inside, "Tsuyoi! Put that outside! No dead bodies in the house!" My mum said as she helped dad pack the bags.

Tsuyoi dragged the body he had brought in back outside, came back and started licking me and my brothers in the face. "We're leaving. Now!" My uncle said running into the house with a large satchel on his back, his eyes were red and he had cuts on his arms and legs, "Sanda I'm so sorry but we have to get the younger generations out of the village." my mom said hugging uncle. "They killed Mizu! They killed her!" He shouted bursting into tears and falling to his knees. Mizu was his three year old daughter and Odayako was his wife, I'm guessing she died protecting Mizu. "Sanda! Pull it together." my aunt said walking through the doors, her beautiful straight long hair had been cut and her clothes were burnt, like uncle her blue eyes had turned red and every now and then a tear would slip through them as she blinked. "Arashi how far can you get us?" one of the ANBU members asked. Arashi is the third best ANBU member in our village. Dad had put a bag on my back by now and was talking to an ANBU member and our aunt. From outside I heard many screams and the explosive sound of paper bombs going off, "Kids. No matter what happens keep running, run and don't stop till you get to where aunty and uncle are taking you." A tear ran down her face as she bent down and hugged each of us. ''I love you guys and no matter what happens you love each other.'' she said kissing us each three times and then standing back up and stroking Tsuyoi, ''You're my best friend. I'm glad you have been my partner through everything. Thank you.'' she said to him as she starting crying, she looked at us and blew kisses. "Inu you are by far the best person I've ever met and even though you can be a dog. I love you and I love that you've been there for me all these years.'' Dad kissed mom and stroked her dog. He turned to his brother, ''You might have got the looks but I will always have the brains'.' dad joked through his tears as he hugged his brother, ''Arashi. She's a lot like you but there will only be one storm running around the house with our fathers shirt on screaming I win over and over again.'' dad was crying just as much as Arashi was, they had a long hug before Arashi put out her hand and said, ''Team Bolt. The strongest squad that the Dendo clan ever had. When lightning strikes a thunder and storm shall follow and rain through to the end.'' The whole team bolt hugged and said there trust sentence for the last time before the house next to us was blown to bits by paper bomb.

Dad turned to us and a tear ran down his face as he hugged us, ''I love all of you and wish we didn't have to part...''
''You're dagger!'' I shouted as I pulled it out of the bag that was on by back.
''No keep it. Kids you are all one. You are one unit and will fight for each others safety no matter what. You must follow your aunt and uncle they will get you out of here.'' he hugged us once more and pulled out a small round container from his bag, he opened it and put two fingers into it, ''Kenzo your good enough.'' He said as he slowly painted our clans face paint marks on Kenzo's face. When a ninja in our clan passes the chunin exams he/she is required to wear our clans face markings for three months and wearing it from then onward is optional. Kenzo took the paint from dad and put it in his pocket, although the custom been going for ages, no one who passed this year could do it due to lack of paint. Dad stood up and kissed me one more time on the fore head before hugging his brother and sister one last time. ''Kids stay with me and your uncle no matter what o...'' her words were interrupted as half of our house was blown to bits and six men walked into the house well the half that was slowly catching fire.' 'Run!'' Our uncle shouted at the four of us as we stood crying. Kenzo grabbed Raiga and dragged him out of the house following an ANBU member, ''NOOO!'' I screamed as my aunt picked me up and ran out of our burning house followed by uncle and two more ANBU members. I watched as Tsuyoi bit people in the necks and did amazing joint jutsu with my mother but the last thing I saw my father do was make the hand signs for tiger, dog, snake, dragon and let of storm release: laser circus.

We were led into a dense forest that leads to the Village hidden by the Clouds and about half way something tripped my aunt causing her fall and drop me, ''Give this to Raijin and make sure he never loses it!'' she said giving me the bag of throwing needles she keeps on her right leg, I nodded my head and was soon picked up one of the ANBU member. I watched my aunt kiss the ANBU member who had stayed to fight with her, they were engaged and the wedding was going to be next month. ''Above us!'' I shouted as I looked up into the trees, it was getting dark and it was hard noticing the movement of the ninjas dressed in black but I noticed them as they jumped over a gap in the trees. The ANBU member stopped and looked up above us at the jumping ninja's, ''Stay here kid'.' He said putting me down by a series of rocks. ''Shadow clone jutsu!''
''Arashi!'' The ANBU member shouted as she cloned herself and ran towards us, ''They're above us'.' He said jumping up into the trees and kicking a man in the stomach just before he landed on the branch. The man dropped out of the air and landed right in front of me, he slowly stood up and looked at me. The man was soon attacked by five Arashi's and constantly stab by kunai knives. The ANBU member was still fighting ninjas in the tree.' 'BOO!'' A masked ninja said jumping down in front of me, ''You're supposed to be in the village so you can be blown up like the others.'' He continued to say walking closer up to me and picking me up. He ran very fast and I soon lost sight of Arashi and the ANBU member. ''Put me down.'' I said angrily and stabbing him with a kunai knife in his shoulder. We were right at the border when I did this, so he threw me into the fire of a burning house.' 'Well done runt.'' He said pulling the knife out of his shoulder and throwing it at me. Of course I dodged it, I quickly grabbed three shuriken from my belt pouch and threw them at him but he disappeared before they could hit him. ''Nice try.'' He grabbed me from behind and put a kunai right up against my throat. I screamed as it slowly pierced my skin, ''Don't touch my daughter!'' I heard my mum say through her teeth with Tsuyoi growling behind her. The man let me go and threw the knife at my mom but she blocked it, ''No one hurts my pup.'' She said before using the four legged technique and wildly attacking the man while Tsuyoi licked the cut on my neck and pulled on my shirt to say get up but before I could he dragged me out of the house.

I took out the lightning dagger and took fighting stance as two men appeared in front of us. They were knocked to the ground when a body was thrown at them, there were several large cuts over the body and a lot of blood running from the neck, ''Kokatsune? What did this.'' One of the men said pushing the dead body off of them wiping blood off his arm. Tsuyoi started to bark and growl as the men got closer to me, ''Who's next!'' my mom said jumping in front of me.' ''Mom did you bite that man?'' I asked looking at the trail of blood on her chin to neck, ''Maybe.'' She responded,'' Tsuyoi take her to the dog masked ANBU member and...''

''Too late.'' Interrupted the one man.
''This place is set to blow any second now. There's no use.'' The other one said, ''We will all die here.'' He said cruelly and nodded at a man standing behind us. We turned to see a man who was holding dad in a head lock, he smiled and let my dad go. He fell to his knee's gasping for air, ''Dad!'' I shouted as Tsuyoi grabbed the back of my shirts collar. Tsuyoi was big enough for me to ride on back then but I didn't have time to climb onto him so he carried me "Shomei!'' my mother screamed as dad was stabbed in the back with a katar (type of dagger), he coughed blood before falling to the ground and dying. My mom screamed and threw a kunai at the man but was hit with multiple shuriken and kunai in the back, she fell to the floor right next to dad. Tsuyoi let off a whine before running back into the forest still holding me in his mouth. I screamed an awful high pitched shriek before I started to cry. ''There you are.'' The ANBU member with the dog mask said as he took the dagger which was still clenched in my hands from me. Tsuyoi let me go and ran back to the town, I guess he wants to be with mum.' 'Come her kid.'' The member said kneeling down and hugging me, he had a cut on his leg and arm and his mask now had a scratch on it. He picked me up and carried me throw the forest, ''Arashi! I found her!'' The man shouted at her when we came close to her. ''No. Kakashi get her out of here now. AAAHHH!'' Arashi fell to her knees and smiled at me before falling completely to the floor. A man had stabbed her from behind, unlike the others this man didn't wear a mask. His face was covered in tattoos, all of which were names of people I'm guessing he had killed. The list continued onto his arms, the man had killed many and was sent to a prison by team bolt when they foiled one of his mass murder plans a few years after I was born. Dad used to tell me the story before going to bed, Mumei the nameless ninja. ''You're really going to wipe out an entire village just because of what three people did to you?'' The ANBU member or should I say Kakashi said to Mumei as he put me down next to him and gave me the dagger. ''Yes.'' He respond. A large bang went off behind us and we turned to see the whole area that was once the village now turn to smoke and ash as it was blown up. I started to cry as my memories and home got blown to pieces right in front of my eyes and just because three people had arrested someone.' 'It's ok runt. You can join them.'' Mumei said taking a step forward and drawing the two swords he kept on his back.

''You're a monster.'' I said taking a step back and increasing my grip on the dagger. ''Stay behind me.'' Kakashi said pushing me back and taking out a kunai. Although I was acting strong on the inside I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry. ''Here'' He took off his mask and gave it to me, ''Strong ninjas get to wear these masks. I think you deserve one.'' He smiled as he helped put the mask on my small head, it was big and my eyes didn't meet the eye holes so I put it on top of my head almost like a hat and forced a smile at Kakashi. He had a vertical scar running over his left eye which was red but he wore a mask over his chin, mouth and nose, he also had spiky silver-grey hair. Mumei laughed and disappeared in a second, the blink of an eye he was standing behind us, Kakashi turned around and within two seconds I found myself standing on a tree branch looking down on the two ninjas as they threw knives and punches at each other. ''There's no point.'' Mumei said trying to cut Kakashi with his sword but Kakashi moved and he missed him. Kakashi dodged every blow Mumei took at him almost as if he knew when he was going to strike and when. In a blink of an eye Kakashi had the sword Mumei was using in his own hands, ''Your wrong there is a point and the child says it all.'' Kakashi said looking up at me, still standing on the tree branch dagger in hand, ready to stab anything that may hurt me. ''Her. HA! The runt.'' Mumei said before bursting out in laughter, he laughed so hard he wasn't watching when Kakashi stabbed him from the front and kicked him to the floor. Killed by his own sword, that must really hurt.

Kakashi took me out of the tree and back onto the ground, we walked towards Arashi who was cold and life less. Kakashi picked her up and carried her body while I walked next to him, we walked through the dark forest and didn't stop until we reached the village hidden by clouds forces who were halfway through the forest and caring to the cuts uncle had and wrapping my brothers in blankets. ''Mizuki!'' Kenzo shouted when his eye caught me, Raijin and Raiga stood up and followed Kenzo as he ran towards me. ''Arashi!'' Uncle screamed as Kakashi lay her on a stretcher and two medical-nin put a blanket over her entire body. Kenzo and the boys hugged me before a medical-nin picked me up and carried me into a tent. Kakashi, uncle, a few medical-nin, three ANBU members and the Raikage himself. ''You can't bring her into this, she's only five years old.'' Kakashi said angrily at the Raikage. ''Kid did you get given anything? Dagger? Needles? Sword?'' The Raikage asked walking closer to me while a medical-nin cleaned the cut on my neck, ''The dagger.'' My uncle said digging through my bag, ''Arashi's needles.''
''She said to give them to Raijin.'' I said softly, I reached into my bag and pulled out the dagger and gave it to uncle. ''He made the runt the leader.'' The Raikage said with disgust as he took the dagger and needles from uncle, ''Maybe he wasn't the best ninja your clan has seen.'' He continued to say whilst putting the dagger in a box with the needles. ''Watch your mouth. You handpicked team bolt, not to mention named us the second best people you ever trained and trusted. If he chose Mizuki as the future leader of team bolt then he has his reasons.'' My uncle said as unhooked his sword and holder and placed it on top of the box. ''He chose a runt.'' The Raikage said, he turned and laughed at me. ''I'm not a runt.''
''What?'' The Raikage said confused.
''I'm not a runt. You see one day I'll be the best ANBU member that ever lived. I'll be the best ninja in my year. Just you wait.''
''You are a runt. The only thing you'll be good at is... what do you know - I can't think of anything. Get the runt out of here!'' He said coldly giving the box, swords and a scroll to uncle before the three masked ANBU members pushed us out of the tent.

''Nice mask.'' Kenzo said picking up Kakashi's dog mask, he looked at me and smiled, ''The runt. No. The best ANBU member to live, Yes that sounds better.'' He put down the mask, tackled me and started to tickle me.
''Yes. That's it. I'll be the best ANBU member who ever lived!'' I said to him when I was able to stop laughing. ''Kenzo where are we going to stay? I don't wanna be a hobo.'' I said packing up my bag and rolling up the sleeping bag. The last thing an ANBU member needs to be is a hobo.
