A/n: Alright before we get any farther in the story I want ya'll to know that this is an ocxoc fanfic. So yes, that means the main character is an oc or Mary sue or what ever you want to call her. This story will take place around four years before naruto becomes a genin. Yes they will appear in the story but only as little eight year olds. All right with out further ado here is the prologue. I don't own Naruto! Which is a sham but I plan on creating something just as much of a hit before I die.

Prologue

It was a beautiful day in the village hidden in the leaves, konoha. The village, villagers were all out and about going along there day minding there own business. The small village seemed to be in a joyous mood as the birds sang their mid morning song in the slightly swaying trees. However in a little building slightly off to the side there was an air that seemed to be full off uneasiness, nervousness, and of course excitement. There was only one reason why a building such as the academy would be surrounded by an air with such a mixture of emotions. Final exams yes, I said final exams which is the time of the year when all of the last year academy student start to get excited about becoming genins. The students have all studied and reviewed many a time by themselves and with a teacher. Now on this fine sunny day the nervous students are all in deep thought as they try to work on there written part of there exam. However there is one person, a girl, who is looking out the window with a distant look on her flawless face. Her brilliant blue eyes watched as a nearby blue jay made its nest in the large Oak tree. By now several other people had finished and flipped there papers over just like the brilliant blue eye girl had and were now looking aimlessly around the class room. The girls seemed to be around twelve. She wore a simple blue polo sleeveless like shirt that had a white line going down on both sides of her shirt. She also had on white shorts and her ninja sandals. The young girl had black silky hair that was in two pick tails that reached her lower back. The girl was a little on the small size for her age but was well developed for a girl her age and she concealed it well with chest binds that could not be seen. The only piece of jewelry she wore was a set of butterfly earring that was red on top and white on bottom. The girl continued to look outside with eyes that held timid ness but confident in them too. By this time the last student had finished their test and the teacher was about to speak.

"Alright students please pass your papers in and then get in abc order by the wall for the second part of the exam." Said a tall brown haired man with a scare going across the bridge of his nose. As he said that there were several "yes Iruka sensei"'s as the class got up and went to the front of the room to turn in there papers then lined up against the side wall. Their in the front of the line was our shy little black haired girl. She was looking down at her feet which caused her bangs to fall in her face instead of framing it. As they waited for the second part of the exam the students chatted among themselves but the little black haired girl fidgeted nervously since she was at the very front of the line. The man know as Iruka cleared his throat and managed to get the class's attention.

"Alright students we will begin the second part of the exam now." He said as all the students quieted down so they could hear him speak.

"Misty Aries please come into the testing room." At the mention of her name the little black haired girl's head shot up and nodded silently as she followed the taller man out. As she left she heard three encouraging cheers coming from a tall blonde haired girl, a spiky red head boy and a tall green haired boy who were in different parts of the line. Misty smiled as she looked back at her life long friends "I will do my best." Said the frail, serene but strong voice of the blue eyed girl. Misty followed Iruka out and into a new room that had the words "testing" written on a sheet of paper taped to the door. Iruka opened the door and showed misty in. In the room was a desk that had a man with silver hair and in a regular chunnin uniform like Iruka with his forehead protector in a bandana style. Next to him was a pill of forehead protectors. Misty was now standing in front of the desk were the two chunnin's sat.

"Alright misty in order to pass the exam all you have to do is create three shadow clones of yourself. If you can not you will fail the graduation exam." Misty nodded in understanding. 'ok. Shadow clone jutsu, this will be easy.' she thought as a new light glowed in her eyes as she performed the hand signs.

"Shadow clone no jutsu." Misty shouted as a puff of smoke surrounded her but soon disappeared revealing three misty's all mirroring each other.

"Congratulations Misty, you have now graduated from the academy." Iruka said as he handed Misty her leaf village forehead protector. Misty smiled excitedly as she tied her headband proudly around her left arm.

"Thank you Iruka sensei!" she said as she hugged him happily. "No. you shouldn't thank me you should thank yourself for paying attention in class and maybe thank that lazy guardian of yours for training you so well." Iruka said as he rubbed the back of his head smiling.

"Right." Misty said as she smiled back and walked out the door back to the class room where the rest of the students were.
