It was a dark and starless night, a night that none would ever forget. Not even the akatsuki. Pein's rain poured from the skies, Sasori's puppets killed all they could and any in sight, Zetsu's plant's slowly died, one by one due to the immense sadness that flowed through them. Tobi cried and cried, Deidara exploded anything and everything in sight, Konan lost her will to curse, Kisame and his sword grew restless and full of bloodlust, the blonde lost his bloodlust and the akatsuki's very own Uchiha, Itachi was showing emotion. They had all gathered, left their base as an organization for the first time since the organization was formed only to die as a whole. None were the same, as much as they tried, as much as they acted they were all simply too devastated.
"I'm sorry Itachi but she deserves better, ha! What does that crazy bitch know? I say we go after her, kill her then bring back the runt."
"Yea, let's go un!"
"Tobi...Tobi go too..." Tobi cried trying to stop the tears that flowed and the anger that rose in him.
"Itachi?" questioned their leader, he more than any of them questioned reasonably. True it would be a simple task, less than a day's worth of work to do what was being proposed but it was all up to the father's word in the end.
"No, she does deserve better. Leader-sama?"
"Yes?"
"I want permission to take any and all mission's close to the leaf village."
"Done, now let's get going." and so the akatsuki left. They returned to their base, to HQ and returned to their lives, their mission's and their kills. All the while Itachi stayed close, watched for any signs of the young girl only to find none. And so after three short years he gave up, he thought it best to leave her as missing, as forgotten than to have tried to suck her back in.
An average height, maroon hair colored, pale skinned, 13 year old girl walked down the halls of the ninja academy. Her eye's were hidden behind a fake head band for the time being and the right side of her face hidden behind bandages. the only thing left showing was her left side. She wore a black fish net shirt with a blood red tank-top over it along with short black short's and a jester's skirt. She had been born and raised beneath the leaf village's village and now, 'now I'll finally be able to live' she thought happily while reminding herself to keep her eyes hidden.
"Oi, who the hell are you?!" called a tall blonde haired, silver and blue eyed boy. Immediately the young girl recognized him, he was the hokage's son. However she ignored him, she walked past the young boy and toward the exam room. Upon walking in everyone turned to look at the girl. Mostly, the young Uchiha/Haruno teen, Ino's and Shikamaru's genius child and upon running in the hokage's knuckle headed son. As she made her way toward her seat she sighed, everyone around her looked normal. 'I'm such a freak here but...but I promised...' she thought sadly. Then, suddenly the young Uchiha threw a kunai at her only to watch it hit the girl and poof.
"Nice try but you have to be better than that." she said hidden as her true from appeared right behind him.
"Who the hell are you girl?" he too demanded, causing he and his friends to gather.
"You first, trigger-happy." she taunted.
"I'm Kenji"
"Hinto"
"Sky" the young Uchiha, Uzamaki and Ino's genius daughter stated, causing the girl to smile even though they couldn't see.
"I'm Izakura, nice to meet you all." she said while bowing. The group of teens were about to ask her what was up with the mask and the bandages when Iruka-sensei walked into the class room and began the test. After several hours there were nineteen new genin in the village hidden in the leafs. The squads were formed and one four squad as well. Ironically Izakura was paired up with the other's from before and Kakashi was their sensei.
"So what's up with the mask?" questioned Hinto first.
"I'm not allowed to show my face."
"Why?" came Sky's voice as she tried to figure it out, to solve the puzzle that seemed unsolvable.
"I made a promise..." was all she said before sighing and turning to look at the door of the room they sat in. "You can come in now Kakashi-sensei, we're done talking." she said, causing the others to go wide eyed. Soon Kakashi walked in and looked over his squad, 'My four man squad.' he thought before smiling at them all and moving to stand before them.
