This is my first fanfiction story so I hope you like it… and I hope I get less noob-like! ;)
Basically this is about Sasha, a ninja with pretty unique powers. She has no idea who her parents are and raised herself hidden in the great forest.

Flashback
They could only be together for so long… the woman was dying. The young dark haired mother looked forlornly at the silver-haired man with one last pleading look before she stepped through the black and bottomless rift called death. The silver haired man, a ninja, cradled a bundle in his arms like a precious jewel and carried the young 3 day old girl through the snow. He raised her for some time, three years infact, teaching her the ways of a ninja through stories. As she grew older and was able to make her own food, he knew he would have to go back. His other life was more important. One day after he showed the girl how to hunt he brought her back slower than usual. He had stockpiled the cupboards with food that would stay fresh… the ninja always thought of her first. The young child's legs were weary from walking so he carried her in his arms. Her blue eyes looked curiously at him and flickered violet for a split second as she was placed in the snow in front of a large stick and stone hut. The ninja shook the image of her eyes out of his head. He must have imagined it. The girl toddled inside and with one last look at her father's blurred face; the door was sealed, leaving the child alone to cope by herself for the next 10 years.
Present day.
I pried open my diamond blue eyes and let the cold white glare of frost welcome me to a new day. I had fallen asleep outside again, dammit. I groaned and sat up, glancing at the metallic coloured lake and at the deer across the water as it disappeared into the forest. I knelt over to tie my snow coated boots. My long silver-blue hair flowed down over my shoulder to my waist in two thick silk tendrils and swept over my eyes in a messily cut fringe. I picked up my shuriken beside me and slid it inside my leg pouch. My back groaned as I pulled at the x shaped scar on it and I knew it was going to be a long day. I had journeyed far in my 10 years alone and knew where all of the hidden villages were. Today I was heading to the hidden leaf village for the first time. I knew the villages by sightseeing from the hilltops but entering a village was freaky… too freaky. But today I had decided many years ago that December 2nd would be my birthday… so today I turned 15 and I was determined to face my fear of giant, scary snowless villages and finally enter one.
I scrambled my way down the mountain and leaped high in the air, ninja style before landing in front of the large wooden gates that marked the leaf village. I took a deep breath and sighed. I knew I would be fine… if anyone tried to fight me I could just manipulate the water molecules in their body and cripple them with ice without a second glance. It felt weird being down here on dust and dirt, less clean and white. It was too hot and I missed my ice…I would have frosted everything around me with my jutsu if not for keeping my secret while so close to other people. My secret was a power that came in handy… growing up away from other ninja I had found a way to do jutsu without needing to use hand signs to control my flow of chakra. It was very useful when hunting fast animals like deer. My stomach growled if not just to annoy me and I poked it angrily. Only then did I glance up to see a leaf ninja guard staring at me awkwardly. I didn't wear dark clothes like them... only the ones that blended with frost, snow and ice so I stood out very obviously. He cleared his throat and stood straight, "Can I help the young lady with anything? Are you from the hidden mist village?" His voice had stuttered at the end slightly and I held back a smirk as I addressed him. "No. I don't come from a village. But I would like to visit this town," I said as *cough* formally*cough* as I could. "B-but … no village? I must seek the Hokage's advice!" he choked out, pointing at a nearby ninja who ran to find the Hokage. I giggled at his concern.
Still laughing slightly at their formality I entered the gates… much to the guard's surprise, who sprang to his feet and grabbed at his kunai. I plunked myself down on a rock by the guard office and gave him a look. He took the hint and relaxed, sheathing his kunai knife back in its pocket. He then too sat down on the dusty ground and after a moment started staring at my clothes, scanning them up and down. I instantly hit defensive mode about the clothes judgment. I had made them myself… copying the design of the ones I had grown out of at a young age. The clothes my parents, whose faces I couldn't remember, gave me. "What!" I snapped at him, barreling him with my blue eyes, cold and hard. He stiffened and turned to another guard, ignoring me. The clothes I wore were all silvers and whites, trimmed with white rabbit fur and leather cord ties that attached to a large hood that was currently shading my silver and light blue, straight as a straight thing, hair, that now adorned the back of my head in a plaited crown with a waterfall of silk splayed beneath it.
Footsteps sounded as the guard returned frantically followed calmly by the village Hokage. She came and stood in front of me as I slowly stood up. "I'm Lady Tsunade, fifth Hokage of the hidden leaf village." She stated. I stared as she held out a hand. I shook it quickly and returned my ice cold hand to my side. "Pleasure to meet you, I said, I'm Sasha, I'm a nomad I guess. I know a fair amount of ninjutsu though" She looked at me sternly and asked my village. I told her the same as what I told the guard. I had no village. Man the people here could be thick. Old bat Tsunade (as I had decided to name her) motioned for me to follow and so I did, whilst absentmindedly looking around the bustling village. It seemed once you were in it the place wasn't half bad… possibly not scary at all. I wished frustratedly that I had decided to do this earlier but alas I could only do what I was doing now, which was following Old Bat Tsunade, which I did wholeheartedly, syncing my footsteps with that of hers and paying no attention to what she was saying.
"-sha? Sasha? Did you even listen to me this whole time?" Old Bat glared. I shook my silver blue haired head at her and practiced my guilt look, glaring at my boots, now coated in yellow dust and up at her through my tousled fringe. Hehe it worked a charm Tsunade's face softened and she brushed off her previous anger to replace it with a faked smile. "How does a mission sound to you? I assume you know the basics after living as a nomad all these years plus you said you knew ninjutsu," she plasticized her smile even more and I swear I gagged slightly. "Uh… yeah sure," I mumbled in her general direction. Great now I would have to reveal my skills to the world. I grimaced internally. I hoped mildly that I wouldn't go overboard and kill anyone. Being new here would make it hard enough seeing as Old Bat was under the assumption that I wanted a village to belong to and was staying with them… pssh, I laughed under my breath. "Great!" She beamed. I coughed awkwardly. "You can stay here for now," she gestured to a brown apartment door in front of me and I sighed in relief at the clean white room before me. Only one bed and a wardrobe with a cute wee bathroom and a kitchenette. I smiled at her thanked her as she started to leave. "See you at the chunin exam bright and early," she added in with one last plastic smile before closing the door. Great, it's tomorrow. I sighed out loud and dumped my bag that I had packed in case of a longer visit on the carpet before stretching out on the single bed for some shut-eye. I knew enough about the ranking of ninja from watching them from the hills and from travelers to know that the Hokage wouldn't put a stranger on a mission without cause. Either she was short on ninja, it was a big mission or she was suspicious of me. I suspected the latter. Oh well, I thought as I slumped into the bed spread, tomorrow I would be off on my first mission!
