A.N.- This is my second story with a Kunoichi named Velidina, but it's better than my other one, and I'm farther along in it. Anyway, enjoy the story.
Velidina- The Author doesn't own Naruto, but does own the Kunoichi Velidina. That's me!
Prologue:
Two and a Half Years Previous
"What?!" came a female's voice; it was laden with surprise. "Are you sure?" Inside a room, there were two females and a male. One female with blonde hair and a blue diamond settled in the middle of her forehead was standing behind an oaken desk. It was big enough to hold her and the male behind, who had a stripe scar on his nose that ran parellel to his eyes and a bandana with a metal plate on it covering his forehead, being tied in the back. He, too, was standing, his hand on the desk in front of him as if his body couldn't support itself. "A-are you sure, Velidina?" the man asked. The other woman, who looked no older than twelve, nodded. "Hai."
The girl, whom had donned a long, elegant dress that had tears populating around it- most likely from training exercises- and adorned a similar bandana to the man in her hair, which was settled behind her, reaching her waist. Her red eyes looked back and forth between the two, and she let out a sigh. "It's okay. I'll be fine. I also wish to leave my forehead protector here as well. I'll pick it up as soon as I come back." "W-what?!" came the other female's voice. "The forehead protector, too?" It was as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. The other female spoke, saying "Hai. It'll be easier on me and this country if I leave it behind." This time, the man spoke. "But won't they be more suspicious of an un-aligned kunoichi?" The young girl closed her eyes. "I've thought of that. But if they do get suspicious, they won't be able to trace my actions back to this Hidden Village, and declare war on it." The man jumped back to the assault, trying to change this young girl's mind. "But-" He didn't get to finish, as the other female raised her hand. "Please quiet down, Iruka." The man looked at the woman, shocked, but he nodded his head nevertheless. "H-hokage-sama…" he said in quiet disbelief.
The older female kept looking at the younger female, and said three relatively simple words: "Are you sure?" The young girl once again nodded. "Hai." The older female merely sighed. "When would you return?" The younger, red-eyed female looked up in surprise. "Umm… around two and a half years." "Then that's the same time that Naruto would be due back…" She whispered to herself. Then, turning back to the young female before her, she said, "All right then, you can go. Leave whenever you're ready." The young kunoichi took the headband out of her hair, and placed it in front of the older female. Whispering so only the female could hear, the younger one said, "Please, take good care of it, Tsunade-sama. I wish for it to still be wearable upon my return." With that, she turned and left the room.
"Will she be alright by herself?" The male asked. The remaining female just continued to stare at the door. "Don't worry." She said, not looking away. "She'll be fine. I believe in her."
