Prologue: The Hidden Leaf Village is now trying to rebuild after the attack planned by Orochimaru, so they are not as trustworthy as they once were before the attack. The Hidden Leaf and Hidden Sand's trust is broken, and the latter is trying desperately to mend it. As they try, a tragedy strikes when the Hidden Sand's top ninja, the ninja that they depend on the most, leaves. She may not look like much, but she is something much more than a tool...and she brings a whole new meaning to the word 'shinobi'...

She stood in front of the enormous gates that surrounded the Hidden Leaf Village. She had surely mistaken it to be small in size, but she had been wrong before.
"Wow. Leaf Village sure is a big village," she said impressively, "Even bigger than I thought."
Saying this, she began to walk into the village. When she was within ten feet of the gates, she heard a voice call out to her, "Hey, wait a moment! Come over here!" Turning her head towards the voice, the she spotted a small stand with two ninja inside. As she came closer, she noted that the two ninja were Chunin.
"Yeah? What is it?" She asked questioningly, "Am I not allowed to go into the village?"
"Uh, no," the chunin who had spoken to her said hesitantly, "It's just that we need your information if you are not from the Hidden Leaf Village."
The girl looked surprised and replied, "Oh, okay. I thought that you were going to arrest me or something."
The chunin smiled and readied his pencil and clipboard. "Name?"
"Sasha Tsumane."
"Hidden Village?"
"I'm from the Hidden Sand Village."
"Are you a ninja? What rank?"
"Yeah, I'm a ninja." She pulled out a headband that bore the Hidden Sand Village's crest. "But I'd rather not discuss my rank."
The chunin quickly jotted down the given information, but stopped short of the Hidden Village section. He had seen Sand ninja before and knew that they were dangerous, usually from their appearance, but this girl was different.
She wore a large jacket, that came down to her calves, over some kind of black outfit that was obstructing the chunin's view. She had bandages wrapped around the lower part of her legs, just below the knees, and the hint of bandages on her right arm. If her clothing wasn't suspicious enough, her features were.
Long, deep red hair fell down her back and to her knees. A square of black cloth, with the kanji for "strength", was tied across the back of her head to prevent her bangs from falling into a set of very extraordinary, and very familiar, eyes; The girl had almond-shaped, sky-blue eyes with almost black circles around them.
The chunin knew those eyes from a Sand ninja that had previously come to the village for the Chunin Exams. No, this girl could not be a part of the Hidden Sand Village. She looked too innocent.
When he finished writing down the information, the two ninja nodded to her and said, "Thank you. You may now go into the Leaf Village."
As soon as she was out of hearing range, the two chunin quietly discussed the new visitor.
"We have to give this report to the Fifth Hokage. If this girl is anything like the three Sand ninja who came for the Chunin Exam, then we've got big trouble on our hands." As the two ninja raced away towards the Hokage's quarters, a Genin ninja quickly snuck out of his hiding place, wondering just who the two shinobi were discussing.
Just who exactly are these chunin talking about? The girl who seems innocent? Nah, she can't be dangerous...can she? Read it when it comes...'A Danger or Not?'. Please review if you read this story.
