Chapter 1
I wandered the leafy forest that surrounded the Leaf Village, on my own. Why would I be walking with anyone? Even if I wanted to have a nice, peacful and quiet stroll with someone, I couldn't. Why not? Well thats simple. It's impossible. It is actually physically impossable.
I stared at my feet as I walked, thinking of where to go, I know this forest like the back of my hand so I could go anywhere and find my way back out, but I don't want to come back out. I'd be fine if I were to some how get lost, but I was in no mood to get lost, so I decided to go home. I looked up to the sky, deciding which way was home.
"Clearing in the branches" I mumbled to myself, then looking at my surroundings " Oak tree there... River in distance" I spung to my right "Home is this way" I smiled to myself. I walked in my chosen direction, carefully stepping over fallen debre and shrubs.
I think that I should explain to you a couple of things. Firstly, I know this place like a teenage girl would know her way around a shopping centre, because I've been here for 10 out of the 12 years I have been living and I guess I'm in my element here. And yes, that does mean I live in the woods, but rest assured I am not a goblin, troll or mythical beast. I just not exactly what you would call 'Human'.
Secondly, the reason that I am out here in the first place. You see, I was born in Konoha, I had perants and an older brother. But the day I turned 6 months old, I was kidnapped. Not by ninjas from another village. Not by some one trying to teach my family a lesson. Not by strangers who just wanted ransome money. But by the Hokage of my own village. They explained to my family that rouge ninja had taken me, then 3 days later they told them my body was found 2miles outside of the village, mangled and unreconizable. But the truth was, when they were telling them about my 'fate' I was being held prisoner. They did all sorts of tests on me, proberbly gave me hundreds of different types of medication and different jabs and shots. And what were they trying to acheive? They were trying to make the ultimate weapon. But why out of a little baby girl? Apparently my DNA is compatable with, well... Honestly I never found out. But I do know the reason of this. A few months before I was born, the Hokage got word of a baby boy in the Village Hidden in the Sand who was their villages ultimate weapon, so in order to protect our own, sacerfices had to be made.
But why am I now out in the woods? Just before I turned 2, my farther got wind of the truth about my disappearance, so him and my brother rescued me. How? I also don't know, but I do know that my family fleaed to the forest surrounding the village. But were soon found and killed however I was not with them, my mother had hidden me well and the reason I was not found was really the villages bad luck. They had modified my scent, so I smelled like the forest that surrounded me. Nearly impossible to find.
I reached my home. I stopped outside it and looked it up and down. It is basically a very old, very tall tree with the top cut of. I jumped to the top of the tree and looked down at it. I bent down and placed my hand onto the flat surface. My hand deteriorated into a small pile of leaves infront of me, followed by my arm then the rest of my body untill I stood there no more. The leaves moved through a small slit in the wood then continued to float down until they hit the ground. Once all the leaves were safly on the ground, they started to form on body shape until I there once again. And if you were wondering, I wasn't born this way. It is one of the many things that has been modified about me. Now I stood in a small dark room, containing two chairs and a small tables I had found in the woods. To my right a small door sat in the mud wall. Roots from tree framed the doorway neatly. I walked through and sat on the small bed at the side of the room.
I sat and thought about what lie ahead for me tomorrow. The Chunin exams. And I had been invited to watch. But all I can think is 'is it a trap?'.
