Ok so some of my friends wanted me to right a back ground story for the village hidden in the shadows due to the fact the like the idea of one. I do not own naruto and if you think i do go fill out a mental hospital form and book you own room. oh and if some one all ready has made up a village hidden in the shadow i don't know about them and sorry if i may have used the same idea as someone else.

THIS STORY IS BASED BEFOR NARUTO HIM SELF IS BORN but i don't exlatly know when yet

Fire, there was fire everywhere. Smoke filled the air suffocating those who bereaved it in. No new air could fill the cave nor the smoke get out. An ancient ritual had been taking place at the time but was never finished that day. Everyone who was in the cave died as the cave entrance and exit had been blocked. Nobody knew who the people who died that day or that they were ever found.

An invisible town that could never be found or had been seen by anyone even by those who lived there. Blind, they were all blind, unable to see what that was around them. Even the blind one's had no idea how they knew their way around only knowing that every new born went through the ritual being blinded. A boy only a small one sat outside the cave. He had blue hair, fair skin and a layer of bandages wrapped around his eyes. He didn't like the smell that surrounded him so he started crying. He sat there for a day crying the bandages being soaked through with tears. That night was cold so he got up on his feet and started walking.

Three days passed and somehow he was now sitting on the edge of a bridge. People pass him every minute not taking any notice of him. Invisible, that's what he was, nobody knowing where he was, nobody being able to tell anybody who he was. He sat in silence up to that point where he started to hum. A soft noise he just made up on the spot filled the air around him.

"Simply beautiful" a woman's voice came from the space next to him "may I join you?"she asked sitting down next to the boy. The boy only nodded his head and then continued with his tune. The woman then took a few seconds to catch on to the tune then started playing it with a flute. That's then and only then the people around them stopped and started to notice the boy. Coins then started to drop on the ground next to the boy and woman. Time passed on and people took their time to stop and look and the boy humming along with the flute playing woman. The boy finished his song so the woman did too. Claps were heard in all directions around them then they disappeared.

"That was such a beautiful song, where did you learn it?" That woman's voice came again.

"Didn't, just came up with it on the time" He replied scratching his nose.

"You've been out here a long time are you waiting for someone?"

"Nobody, just been alone" he mumbled tightening his bandages.

"Oh my" she gasped hands covering her mouth "Do you have anyone to look after you?"

"Nope, I think they all died" he said in a dull everyday tone.

"Baka!" she yelled hitting him on his head "You don't talk about people dyeing with that tone of voice!"

"ouch" he mumbled back rubbing his head. Then he was lifted off of the ground by the woman.

"Why are you holding me?" he mumbled.

"You look hungry, I'm going to take you to get some food" she said picking up the money that had been tossed at them "You earned this money too." "I like food" he mumbled once again.

"Good I know a very good rice shop" She smiled.
She walked with him in her arm's for about five minutes till they reached the small shop on a corner. As the woman walked through the door the shop's owner looked up.

"Chika!" the man yelled out "long time no see"

"Morning Ryosuke" she cheerfully said back. "What will it be for today?"

"Just two bowls of rice will do for today" she said sitting down placing the boy next to her.

"Two bowls coming up" he then turned around and started to dish up the rice "Hey, whose the kid?" he asked turning back around placing the food in front of them.

"My name is Kumori" he said reaching for his food.

"Kumori that name is soooooooooo cute" squealed Chika.

"Hey Kumori, how did you know where the bowl was with all those bandages wrapped around your eyes?" Ryosuke asked.

"I don't know, I just knew it was there I guess" Kumori said stuffing his mouth with food.

"I'm just going to call you Mori is that alright?" Chika went on.

"That's fine with me" Kumori replied back eating some of his rice.

"Yay!" Chika yelled hugging him.

"Chika did you just not pay attention? this kid is blind and yet he knows where things are" Ryosuke asked putting both hands down on the table.

"Ryosuke you should hear the song Mori made up it's so beautiful " she told him eating her own rice.

"Chika" Ryosuke sighed sapling his hand to his forehead.

"Here I'll show you it" Chika Said gulping down her rice and pulling out her flute. The song filled the air, everyone turned to the sound of the flute playing. Kumori then started hum along giving the song a lower tune to it. Together they fit perfectly one to another then the people around started to join in with the song giving it a wider range of pitch and tone. The song went on till there was a scream from outside the shop. The song stopped and everyone ran outside to see what happened. Laying on the ground was the dead body of a middle aged man with a woman standing above him screaming her head off.

"There's been a murder!" a man shouted out "who was it?" another person called out.

"That's a lot of blood" Ryosuke whispered behind Chika.

"Who was he?" Kumori asked holding Chika's hand.

"I don't know Mori, maybe we should leave" Chika said walking away with Kumori in tow.

"Where are we going?"

"Well since you don't have a place to stay do you want to travel around with me?"

"Travel? do you not have a home ether?" Kumori asked as Chika let out a giggle.

"Everywhere is my home, I'm a musician I travel from village to village play song's for people"

"And you will let me follow you?" Kumori said with a smile on his face.

"Of cores that's if you want to?" Chika asked looking down at Kumori's shiny blue hair.

"That's fine with me" Kumori replied smiling all the way.

"Yay! now I have a cute little apprentice to walk around with me!" Chika squealed giving a fist pump.

"Your annoying when you squeal like that" Kumori stated.

"Baka!" she yelled punching him in the back of his head "respect your elders."

"You also have a bad temper" Kumori mumbled nurseling the back of his head.
