I do not own Naruto. I only own my O.C's and Koyo village ^v^

Hiya, this will be my first try at doing a Naruto Fanfic.

Please go easy on me ^,^/

But I will take criticism, as I am going to be learning from pure experience on writing my first fanfiction.

Thank ya', ToraYona ~

Prologue

The sound of a child's laughter filled the house with such love, that the neighbors nearby would also feel the love emitting from the Kagemusha's household. The neighbors knew the Kagemusha's were a loving and caring Clan, that they didn't fear the people within the Clan. When most would fear such a large Clan, for not only were they an immense Clan, but a very powerful Clan that dealt with the dark arts. Just hearing the child's laughter escaping from one of the many households that strewn down the streets of small Koyo; a small village nearby Konohagakure no Sato; gave everyone a small bit of hope.

Especially since the Third Ninja War just ended not too long ago.

The villagers of Koyo, was still rebuilding their homes and many stores that were destroyed during the Third War. It only happened, because Koyo was known for their vast resources that they supplied out to the shinobi of Konoha and any other ally shinobi.

As the villagers of Koyo were finishing up rebuilding a home for a family of six; the family gleamed with happiness as the last plank of wood was sealed on their roof. The villagers joyously cheered as another home was successfully built, going onto their next project.

As they went on with their daily duties, one door to one of the Kagemusha households opened slowly, someone peeking out with a taste for adventure and maybe a little mischief.

"Takarue-kun!" Only the sound of a mother's could stop her child from doing anything stupid and rash.

"Y-yes Okāsan," a dark haired boy, shakily turned away from the front door and turned to see his mother; the sister of the head of the Kagemusha Clan; Chinmoku Kagemusha.

"Don't yes Okāsan, me!" His mother inched forward, and Takarue took one step back. Afraid of his Haha's own strength, or worse her ninjutsu abilities.

Yes Chinmoku Kagemusha, the sister of the head of their own Clan, was not afraid to use her own abilities on her son or any other member of their Clan. It was one way to keep the family members in line. Or anyone else.

"Where do you think you are going?! Especially, when your Tōsan is looking for you. He has something important to tell you, as do I," She grabbed her son's collar and began dragging him to where his father was waiting, very patiently. "And Don't think I won't bring this up to your Tōsan!" She growled at her son, knowing full well her son what he was trying to do.

Sighing, Chinmoku dragged her son who looked like he was going to wither away into nothing at the thought of seeing his own father, for kami sake his father wasn't tha-... Then scratching her head she remembered what her son tried to do last week, and the week before that. "You're a mess kid. I thought I taught you better than this? And on top of this, your Ojisan and your Obasan will be there with their kids. So it shouldn't be that bad!"

Hearing her son groan, she stopped midway to their destination. Pulling her son up in front of her, she fixed his clothes and hair; as any other mother would do, and spun him back around. This time him in the front, and her behind, that way he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Let's go, sweety. Oh and did I forget to tell you, the Third Hokage will be visiting as well. Later today that is. So no screwing around!" Smiling she pushed her son into the meeting room. Where "divine punishment" was waiting for her son.

"Ah, there you are my love. I was wondering if you had to beat our son to a pulp again!" A man's laughter erupted in the silent meeting room, causing some of the guests to be taken back by the first in command's outbursts.

The Head of the Kagemusha Clan laughed as well, making his sister to pause in her step and slightly blush at her husbands antics. Tugging her son back a little, they both bowed and continued till they where right in front of the Head. Takarue's Ojisan; his mother's eldest brother, the Head of the Clan and on top of all that, one of the strongest in ninjutsu of their Clan. Not counting his mother that is.

Takarue turned to his father and bowed, after bowing to the Head. Soon after acknowledgement was done, the two sat besides the Heads' Kāsan. Bowing the two sat idly down, and waited for the rest of the ceremony to continue. They were the third to the last to arrive, sadly enough and just in time to meet the Hokage of Konoha himself; who ended up sitting near the Head, with his own son sitting next to Takarue.

Takarue glanced up to see the young son, probably in his mid-teens; eyes gleaming with excitement. Probably from being able to see a new place and being out of their village. Oh, how Takarue envied the Hokage's son.

"Hi, I'm Sarutobi Asuma, and you are?" The young Hokages son whispered to Takarue, a cheeky smile plastered on his face. Dressed in casual, but very refined clothing for such an event. A toothpick sticking out of his mouth at the edge, was being twirled quickly.

Jittery fellow.

"My names Kagemusha Takarue," he said lowly, and clasped the boys outstretched hand.

"Nice ta' meet cha', Taka-kun." And like that the two boys became best of friends. Both interested in each other's strength and what made one another tick. In the end, the two found out they had a lot in common and made a promise to see one another again after the meeting between the two villages.

Later, down the road. The two became very close friends and even found ways of seeing one another, and doing dangerous missions together. Soon, Takarue found out what Asuma did. Leaving his village just to pursue his own personal interests. Not even bothering Takarue, asking if he would like to come with him and be rid of the small village that confined him indoors.

Takarue became very jealous, and angered by Asuma's actions that he began to pursue his own dreams. To become the head of the Clan like everyone wanted him to be, but he did it in his way and achieved more than both his parents could ever do.

When the Kyuubi attacked the village Konoha, Takarue head of the Kagemusha Clan sent out his best men to help the shinobi of Konoha. Many lives were lost that day, from both Konoha and Koyo. But that didn't mean Koyo survived the brutal attack of the Kyuubi's outrage against the village, someone or something attacked Koyo as well during the middle of the night and obliterated both the Head of Kagemusha and a majority of the members with him. As well as their beloved village Koyo and the villagers that didn't make it out.

Takarue's dying wish was so that Konoha would except the remaining villagers and members of the Kagemusha Clan; since he couldn't protect his beloved Clan and villagers.

Takarue knew he failed as he felt the blade pierce his back and watched helplessly as the perpetrator ended half his Clan before his eyes.

What the perpetrator didn't know was that Takarue's wife was already in Konoha and giving birth secretly to his unborn child, who would some day rebuild Koyo from the ground up and become a better, and kinder Leader than he or those before him,ever was.

Author's Note: Hey guys, I know this was long, but I hope this gives you guys some kind of knowledge of how my character's will set into Naruto's timeline and how some characters' will know one another. If I gave too much information, then next time, I'll try and space out something this big into at least two chapters. But, besides that! I hope you guys enjoyed the Prologue, the next chap. I will give a small brief of a few of my main characters' and a little story afterwards.

Please review/comment If ya would like.
