O.k. So this is my story from my other accout greezy weezul. I feel really bad because I haven't' tried installing it in my new account but I've just been afraid it wouldn't work so yeah... I put it off. It is a little different than the one that I posted before because I just felt that I didn't do it any justice. Trust me it was a lot cooler in my head. Yeah I still haven't figured out the reason why I was able to post before and if I have anymore problems this time I think that I will start posting on a different website or something like that. So yeah, here it is my new and improved fanfic!

Little Spirit

This story that you are about to read begins a few months after one of many civil wars in the Land of Water. It begins more specifically in a village known as Kirigakure no Sato or the Village Hidden in the Mist. At the time the village was being run by the Yondaime Mizukage, Yagura container of the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle.

At first the villagers thought that Yagura was a kind Mizukage but slowly he began to change. He became a ruthless leader starting with annihilating almost all the ninjas working for him with kekkei genkai. Then he issued a new graduation ritual where the graduating students would be split up to fight one on one with each other to the death before they could graduate. Because of that ritual the village was also known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist." It was also the last straw for some of the ninja and villagers.

All began to think that something was wrong with their Mizukage and so they started speculating. Some of the people thought that he could be possessed by the Three-Tails, others thought that he might be being manipulated from behind the scenes, and there also were a few choice people that thought he was just doing what he thought would stop the wars and make the shinobi stronger. But all of them were in the agreement of they didn't know what to do or how to stop what was happening.

And so the story begins.

Hiragana Compound, Main House

"Maaaamaaa!" Yelled a little girl running around trying to find the person in question.

"Yes?" Said a sing song voice.

Hearing that the voice was coming from behind a shed in the backyard the little girl took off running as fast as she could.

"Mama!" Yelled the little girl again, jumping out from behind the other side of the shed to come face to back with a woman with long, white hair flowing down across her back from her bent over position.

"Yes, Sukoshi?" Asked the woman again as she started to bend up from her bent over position where she had been picking up trowel to start working on her garden.

"Mama! There is some man at the door wanting to speak to you or Papa." Said the slightly out of breathe child if the blush across her cheeks and the way she was panting was evidence for anything.

"Oh." The startled woman said with wide, green eyes. "Well, did you ask who he was?" The woman questioned the little girl as she sat her trowel down and started pulling off her gardening gloves one at a time while looking at her daughter.

"Nope." Said the little girl cheekily while giving her mother an enduring smile and causing the woman in question to raise one of her eyebrows incredulously.

"Well, do you at least know who he is?" The woman asked while starting to walk back to the family house.

"Yep." Said the little girl as she started to walk along side her mother.

The woman paused in her walking causing the little girl to walk ahead a few steps before pausing long enough to turn around to look at her mother with confused eyes.

The woman then sighed a long sigh and walked to her daughter to bend her knees enough to where she could be eye to eye with her.

"Who is he, Sukoshi?" Asked the woman while looking into the eyes that were so much like her own it was like staring into a mirror.

"He is the Mizukage, Mama." The little girl said as she smiled at her mother.

The woman seemed to pause as her shoulders stiffened and her eyes took on a far away look. Then she started walking in a hurried pace across the yard and to the back door. Before turning the knob to open the door the woman looked down to her daughter clinging to the hem of her black dress with confusion in her eyes. Not being able to look for long the woman bent down again to her daughters height and put her hand on her head causing the little girl to reach up with both of her hands to lay on top of her mothers.

"Honey?" The woman paused long enough to make sure she had the full attention of her daughter.

"Hmm?" The little girl hummed sweetly while tilting her head to the side curiously.

"I want you to go to your grandmothers' and grandfathers' house and stay until I come to get you after I get done with talking to the Mizukage." The woman paused again to wait for her daughter to nod her head to let her mother know she got everything. When her daughter did so she started again.

"If you run into your father going through the compound I want you to tell him to come here right away, okay?" The woman finished, looking into her daughter's eyes with concern.

"Okay." The little girl said while nodding her head to confirm that she understood.

When the mother saw this she lifted her other hand from its spot on the porch and laid it on top of her daughter's hands to give them a tight squeeze. After a few seconds the mother finally pulled her hands away and stood up. Smiling down at her daughter she lifted her right hand and pointed to the white painted, garden gate with her pointer finger.

"Go through the garden and run as fast as you can to the end of the garden, then turn and walk out to the streets of the compound to your grandparents' house. When you get there I want you to tell them that you are just there for a visit and that your father and I will be coming shortly. Alright, Sukoshi." The young woman ordered her daughter with no room for argument.

Nodding her head showing that she understood everything that her mother said she then jumped off the porch and started across the lawn to where the garden gate was. After she opened it half way she turned back to her mother to wave at her since she was still waiting on the back porch watching her go. When her mother waved back she then walked to the other side of the gate and then turned to close the gate door, then she started running through her mother's well taken cared for garden being sure not to damage anything on her way.

Hiragana Compound, Grandparent's house

"Sukoshi?" The little girl heard her grandmother ask.

"Hmm, grandma?" The little girl asked turning her head away from the window that she had been staring out of ever since she got there a few hours ago.

"Would you like something to eat, Sukoshi?" Asked the sweet, little old woman while smiling warmly at her only grandchild.

The old woman had been glancing worriedly at her granddaughter ever since she had let her in and she sat down in front of the window in the living room to stare for hours without hardly moving an inch. Of course her husband would have to be out with Sukoshi's father right when she needed him the most. He would always somehow manage to do that when he was needed for something.

Sighing when her question was received with only a distracted nod she slowly walked out of the room and into the kitchen wondering what had gotten into her beloved granddaughter. She was also wondering why it was taking her mother so long to get here. She really did want to see her daughter-in-law again. It had been so long.

*** a few minutes later ***

Right before the old woman was about to finish with her granddaughter's dinner there was a knock at the front door. Setting the plate she had just gotten down from the top cabinet on the counter, she wiped her hands quickly on a towel and then started hurrying to reach the front door to greet whoever was there.

"Oh!" Opening the door she was surprised to see that it was her husband, her son, and her daughter-in-law all standing on the front porch with grave expressions on their faces.

"Well come on in." The old woman said stepping back from the door allowing everyone to have a chance to wipe their shoes on the rug outside and enough room to walk through the doorway and into the hall.

"So," The old woman starts out, "What's happened this time?" She asked with exasperation in her voice.

Her husband smiled a disarming smile, but it didn't really work all that well on her since she knew that he only smiled like that when he was worried, which in turn made her even more worried.

"Well you see, Honey, the Mizukage just has a job that he wants us to complete. So there is nothing for you to worry about." After her husband said that he gave her another smile that was more natural than the last one, so she was able to smile back and forget about it for now. That was, until her granddaughter was around.

To be continued...

Alright so as you can see I kind of changed a lot of what I had as my first chapter before. In fact you can say that this isn't the same story at all. But I can assure you that it will still have sort of the same plot to it. I actually think this was a better way to start off this story then the way I used last time.

Anyway for everyone who recognizes the name 'Sukoshi'. Yeah I did get it from another story but I didn't mean to be a copywriter I just thought that it was a good name and I just couldn't think of any other name at the moment so yeah. I am sorry. Please don't hate me.

Sakura's name for now: Sukoshi Hiragana. Sukoshi meaning "little". Hiragana meaning "spirit".

I hope you enjoyed it now and if any kind soul out there wants to give me their opinion, well, I'm all yours. Until next time, later!

p.s. Sorry for taking so long!
