Naruto is the property of Masashi Kishimoto, Amaya is mine. Anyways, Hi there, just want to let you guys know that my style of writing tends to be a bit different. I like using a modified 3rd person approach where one can switch point of views, from narrator to character..etc.. throughout the story. Not in the same paragraph.

The sun's warm arms stretched beyond the mountain, spreading his warm fingers over the village. A young woman warily walks forward, she's dressed in old men's trousers and an oversized stained shirt, the only thing keeping her clothes on was the worn brown belt around her waist. She eyes the two guards by the gate, she decides to hurry on her way her black ballet-like slippers scrapping against the ground.
"Were do you think you're going? We need to see your travel papers."
I sigh while searching through my pouch and hand over some very worn papers.
"Why isn't there a village written under the Mist country?" the first guard now eyes me suspiciously.
"You've taken a few good looks at me already, is it that hard to see I have no home?"
I'm getting annoyed, any idiot can tell I have nowhere to go, from my sloppy attire, messy tied up dusty hair and wide black bags under my odd-eyes. My eyes are what most people thought peculiar, the left is a bright blue while the right is bright green.
" I recently lost everything and am looking for a new home, if you'd like to spend a few days with me as I look for a job, you're more than welcomed to, just keep your hands to yourself."
"The nins here will be watching you closely... Miss Amaya" He once again glares at me.
The woman hastily rushes out of site, the guards still watching her whisper to each other, she was definitely suspicious, too many things were off, her lack of a home, no last name and the fact she's travelled from so far alone. The first man disappears as he leaves to report his concerns to the hokage.
I start to map the village out in my mind, since I'll be spending a long time here, I may as well get used to my new home. Unfortunately I don't pass by unnoticed, I've heard of the great battles which happened here, thus I don't blame their suspicion of strangers. The first thing I want to do is get new clothes, looking like a woman and less like a cross-dresser should diminish the stares I get. I spend a few moments in a used clothing store and buy a plain navy yukata to wear over my black skin tight shorts and black spaghetti strap top which used to be part of my uniform a while back. Half my money spent I decide I should try to find a job, after I have a nice hot bath. I walk by an academy, it looks like ninja one for the 'playground' more like training area is very similar to all the others I've seen. Some children seemed bored as they stand near the balancing beam, I decide to take a few steps closer.
"Come on Konohamaru! It's boring here, there isn't much to do on this side of the field anyways, just walk across the stupid beam." The girl states in annoyance.
"Five more minutes and Iruka-sensei will have us switch" say a boy with large round glasses.
I may as well give it try for old time's sake. Stopping by the 10 foot long beam, I take off my yukata, revealing my short shorts, and tight top. Jumping a foot in the air I grab onto the horizontal beam and pulls my 5'7" self up. The three kids gawk at me, the boy with the scarf drools a bit. I just roll my eyes, boys will be boys....sigh. I place one long leg tentatively infront of me and do a forward cartwheel followed by a graceful backflip. Bending perfectly in half I grip the beam and do a hand stand doing splits in the air, after my little warm up I decide to get serious. I pick up the pace and glide through various acrobatics, the cheers from the children drowned out by my concentration.
"So are we still going to Ichikaru's tonight?....Naruto....Naruto?" Iruka waves a hand in front of Naruto's face causing him to come out of his stupor,
"Iruka-sensei, since when do you have a babe demonstrating in your class?" Naruto continues gapping in the student's direction.
Iruka glances over, Naruto was right about one thing, the woman really is attractive, he can tell she's in great shape, she's got the body of a ninja but the moves of a dancer. Iruka blinks, wait a minute... a complete stranger is disrupting his class.
"Later Naruto" Iruka marches off towards the woman. Upon closer inspection he realises she's likely a few years younger than he is, he can tell she's come a very long way, her skin is covered in dirt and her hair looks grey due to all the dust. Iruka clears his throat and much to his pleasure his students jump up in fright and move on to continue their training.
"If you want to practice your ninja skills, do so when classes are over." Iruka states somewhat icily.
I gracefully tumble off the beam and dress in the recently bought yukata. It was fun while it lasted, "Who ever said those were nin moves? Have a good day." I bows my head to the elder and am once again on my way. Iruka watches her leave, she's the one they've been warned to keep an eye on.
In a place this big there should be a bath house somewhere, I've been looking in every nook and cranny I can see and still I fail to find one, urg... my skin is itching terribly ....putting my pride aside a bit I walk up to some teens one is a girl with pale eyes and purple hair down her mid-back she is sitting beside a boy with a large coat and round sunglasses, another boy is standing in front of them chatting quite animatedly, he has red marks on his cheeks and a feral look to him. The one who catches my eyes is a very large dog laying besides them. Forgetting my original purpose in approaching the group, I pounce on the poor dog.
"Puppy!" Is all Kiba hears before a somewhat attractive woman pounces on Akamaru. She starts giggling happily as Akamaru sniffed her and gave her a big lick on her face, revealing ivory skin under the thin film of dirt.
"Who are you? And What do you think you're doing?" asks a surprised Kiba, Akamaru is never friendly with strangers without his master's approval.
Blinking twice I go red...I haven't lost this much self control since I was a kid.
"How could I not, he's just so cute! What's his name? How'd he get so big" I hold onto the fluff ball even tighter.
"His name is Akamaru." replies the shy pale eyed girl.
"By the way, where's the bathing area here?" Snapping out of my childishness I remember my main purpose in approaching the teens infront of me.
"It's up by the mountain."
"K, thanks kid!" with that I rushes off eager to peel off the horrid grime.
"Wow what a spaz, who'd have though she can be a threat. Ah, hey that's my sandwich Akamaru!"
The boy with glasses ponders, he didn't feel any trained chakra coming from the woman, which means she either has very little, knows how to hide it well or hasn't been trained as a ninja, but how would she survive travelling through the Mist alone? From what the guard told Lady Tsunade and from the reports all chunin and juunin got, the nameless Amaya is more than she seems. Shino doesn't miss the toned muscles of her calves or forearms as she cuddled with the large dog.
