Comments: Yet another Naruto fanfic. This is based off my original character Midori Yuuki, a female ninja who uses snow based ninjutsu. She's bisexual and has a crush on Sasuke and Naruto. This world is a slight alternate universe. Genin continue going to school until they're 17, and then they're allowed to take the chunin exam. She wields the jinseigan, the life eye.

Chapter One

It was snowing outside which was perfect – the snow was my element, the core of my ninjutsu and the element of the Yuuki clan. I was the daughter of the Yuuki clan leader, so it fell on my shoulders to continue the family traditions.

Unfortunately, being within the Yuuki clan didn't give me immunity to the snow. It still nipped at my skin, so to keep warm I pulled my scarf tighter around my neck.

The shinobi academy was right in view, just at the end of the narrow alleyway I was walking down. That's where I've been taking lessons in the art of ninjutsu. Being a girl made no difference – female ninja were just as respected as the males, and sometimes even more feared. It was easier for us to creep under our enemy's noses.

And speaking of creeping, I could almost sense another's chakra, close by. Someone was watching me, I could tell. There have been attempts on my life before. We were just as feared as the Uchiha clan, back when they were still around.

I closed my eyes and activated my chakra. I brought the power up to my eyes, and spoke a single word under my breath: "Jinseigan."

My pupils turned to cat-like slits, and two black orbs appeared on the right and left of my thin pupil. I knew how it looked from seeing my clan members use it. Everything became gray except for chakra – that became blue, and the academy was filled with it – and other life forms became yellow.

No amount of genjutsu could hide one from my eyes. I could see an enemy from miles away. My dad can absorb his enemy's chakra, but I'm not up to that level yet.

I turned around and saw the blue chakra trying to hide from view. I reached beneath my loose fitting jacket and my fingers found my pouch. Inside was a kunai. I put my finger between the loop and started to pull –

"Midori-chan?"

I turned around. Iruka-sensei, homeroom teacher, was standing towards the entrance of the alley, just in front of the school. He looked slightly pissed off, as usual, and impatient. It was a face he reserved for disobedient students, and Naruto.

"Iruka-sensei," I said. Glancing back down the alleyway, I saw the shinobi was gone. Should I tell my dad, and have another guard placed on me? I hated it when I was a kid.

"Midori, what are you doing?" Iruka asked.

I looked at him. I let go of my kunai and walked towards him. It wasn't hard to seem innocent when you were short and cute, much like myself.

"Just observing the snow fall, Iruka-sensei," I said.

"You're going to be late," Iruka said. "The snow will still be here when you get out of class."

I nodded. "You're right, sensei. I'm sorry."

"Just get going."

I did, and I didn't give the alleyway another glance, but I wish I could have taken on that shinobi that was following me. Was it a real threat or just a creepy stalker?


First period was General Ninjutsu Study III, second period was Ninja History III, break for lunch, third period was Advanced Techniques and Chakra Manipulation, and fourth period was Advance Kunoichi Study II.

I usually liked Kunoichi Study, but not today. Today was probably the worst day ever.

We filed in, all of the senior female ninja, and our sensei Kurenai Yuhi was already there. She was everything a kunoichi should be, strong, smart, and beautiful.

"Welcome, class," she said.

We all greeted her and took our places. We didn't have desks in here, but fluffy mats on the floor. Our classes varied, and usually we were outside doing stuff, like collecting flowers. I knew the combinations to paralyze, blind, cripple, or even kill a man, just from the flowers growing around Konohagakure.

"Today we will being working on a topic we've only ever touched on, but ever really went into. All of you are senior kunoichi, and this is your last semester. It's time to go into the final studies of kunoichi arts – seduction."

Motherlover! Seduction?! Sure, we were old enough, and it was a known fact that kunoichi usually seduce their enemies, blah, blah, but I wasn't expecting to be taught how…

"…to please a man," Kurenai-sensei said.

Some of the girls were excited, very few were passive, but most were like me, flushed and uncomfortable.

"You may come in now," Kurenai said to the side door.

The male seniors came filing into the room, looking just as flushed as we did. The only difference was the vast majority of them would enjoy this. I watched the classmates I've grown up with and I wanted to run.

"You will be graded," Kurenai said, "So pay close attention. I've called Asuma Sarutobi to help out today."

He made his way around the timid shinobi, and he was grinning. "Don't worry – it won't be too bad."

Too bad, yeah right.

"Just stand in front of someone, you'll be put with different partners," said Kurenai.

None other than Naruto came to stand before me. I don't think this day could get any worse. Boy was I wrong.
