It was late at night. A young girl had just entered the boundaries of Konoha. She was small for her age. At sixteen years old, she was just over five feet tall. Her long dark brown hair shone in the moonlight. Her teal eyes showed fear from abuse. She stood at the gates of Konoha. She knocked at the door hoping that someone would let her in. Since the land that she was from, Suna, was an ally of Konoha, she hoped that the fifth Hokage would let her reside there. She had finally run away from her home because of the abuse that her family caused her. She also had information on an attack on Konoha. After a long silence, she heard a voice from the other side of the gate.
"Who is knocking? Do you realize how late it is?"
She assumed it was the gatekeeper who had asked her. She knew that if she was going to have any chance of getting into the village, she would have to tell him the truth.
"My name is Sano Kaoru. I am from Suna. I mean no harm. I ask to speak to the Hokage."
"What is your business with the Hokage?" the voice came again.
"Please, I just need to speak with her."
"Fine."
The gate had opened slowly. The gatekeeper had signaled for her to wait there.
"I will alert the Hokage that you wish to speak to her." And with that, he disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Ten minutes later, she was in the Hokage's office. Tsunade was half-asleep. Her head was on her desk with her hair spread all around her face.
"Umm… Hokage?"
Tsunade's head came up with a jolt.
"Huh? Oh… What?"
"Hi… My name is Sano Kaoru. I come form your allied village, Suna. I was in my village when I heard news of an attack on Konoha. It's Suna and Oto. They're planning to team up and launch an attack to take over Konoha! I came when I first heard about the news. It's Orochimaru! He planned it all!"
Tsunade looked at her with disbelief.
"Kaoru, right? How can I believe this? After all, you are from Suna. You could just be a decoy. Your troops can be sneaking in at this very moment!"
"My entire village wanted me as dead as Gaara! They always thought I was too kind-hearted. The Kazekage didn't like that about anyone. If you were, he would plan to have you killed! I was a handicap for the village. Please, you have to believe me!"
Tears had started to form in Kaoru's eyes. She never tells anyone about how the village hates her.
"Alright. I think I can get a bed for you in the hospital. I'll let you stay overnight. We'll talk more about this tomorrow. I'll try to find a living arrangement for you, too."
