Disclaimer: Naruto isn't mine it is Masashi Kishimoto's idea and work. I'm just writing about a different generation.

One day in...
'You dumbass! Hurry up or commit suicide now!' cried a female voice on the wind. The person the female was talking to was four metres behind her and their companion. It was four metres too long in anyone's opinion especially just coming out of a recon mission in the Kirigakure.
The one behind knew that if he didn't go faster soon then their pursuers would catch him but he didn't care and it didn't feel right to go faster to him. It felt like he'd miss something if he did.
The land around them was almost barren of trees apart from a bare tree up ahead of the lagger which the other two had already passed. They were travelling on a dirt road leading to an intersection where they hoped to throw off their pursuers by sending clones to different places and using their scents to get rid of any tracker pursuers.
The straggler almost passed the tree but something caught his attention; it was breathing.
It was faint but there was breathing coming from the tree. The tree could only just fit a genin within the trunk and he got out his kunai before walking slowly to the tree.
His teammates noticed his lack of running as they stopped as well drawing their weapons in a copy of him.
'What happened?' asked the other member of their team.
'Why did you stop?' expanded the only female member angrily. The lagger just chuckled and rubbed his head sheepishly.
'I think I found something,' he said as he pointed to a hollow in the tree hidden by tall grass. A faint mist circled around the area showing how cold it was.
Within the hollow was a small white haired child breathing out puffs of mist from the temperature.
'Leave it!' yelled the female before she turned to leave again uncaring what happened to the thing he was pointing at, their other teammate did the same and left the straggler alone.
The last one didn't move although and looked down at the child and took the child out of the hollow. He frown at how small and light the child truly was before running at full speed to catch up to his team while holding the child bridle style.
First chapter is short, yes, second chapter hopefully not.
This story is a prologue to a story that has plagued me in my mind not letting my other story, Lucky Moon in the Sky to shine through. This story is also to improve my writing skills so please don't be alarmed if the writing style might had changed over the time that this is active.
I might alternate with this story and the successor to this one which I call "The mouse, the swallow and the fox" which will be a NarutoXHP crossover.
Kirigakure for those that don't know the Japanese language from Naruto is the Village hidden in the Mist.
