My name is Kaori. I was born in the Land of Shadows. My mother and father were the rulers of the land, and I had one sibling. She is my sister, Keen. When I was just five years old, Keen massacred my entire clan. Keen just wanted to test her strength to see how strong she was. The family power had protected me from death. Here's my story.

I was walking around the Land of Shadows with my sister, Keen. We were training in the woods a few kilometers away from the house. Keen wanted to make sure I was strong enough to fight anyone in battle. Since I'm the daughter of the rulers of the land, I need to be able to fight. Keen would always beat me in a spar, because she has the family necklace.

Oh, yeah, the necklace. On my mother's side of the family, there's this necklace that holds all the family powers. The "Shadow" family powers consist of levitation, mind reading, force fields, and freezing time. This power is held in a small dragon necklace. Since our family goes back 20 generations, there are a total of twenty necklaces.

Well after training with Keen, her and I headed back to the house for dinner. Keen made it there first, since she has the power, and I don't. Keen made it home about an hour before me. I decided to walk, so I could keep most of my chakra, since I had a very bad feeling something was going to happen.

As I walked through the doors, my mother grabbed me. Kin, my mother, took all twenty of the family necklaces, including her own, and fused them together to make a super strong necklace. I was wondering what was going on, but then I saw Keen enter the room.

I went and hid myself under my bed, and kept thinking force field, force field, force field. Not long after, a light blue field surrounded me. I saw my mother and Keen fighting. I had no idea what was going on! I was so scared. Why was my sister fighting my mother, this made no sense. Was father already dead? What was happening?

I soon saw my mother fall to the floor. Dead. I can't believe Keen had killed our mother. I then saw Keen walking to where I am hiding. She flips the bed up over me, and I see a death stare in her eyes. I was petrified. How could my sister, the one I look up to and love, do this to our family?

Keen looked at me and said, "You're too weak to even want to kill. I only did this to test my strength, and you're not even worth it." I looked at her in disbelief. How could this be my sister? This was nothing like the Keen I knew and loved. I was then knocked unconscious.

Everyone I love has abandoned me. I'm now eight years old, and I have nothing. No family. No friends. All I do is train so I can accomplish my one goal in life. That goal is to avenge my family's massacre, and the only way to do that is to kill my sister. Nothing will get in my way of doing that. I won't let anyone. I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.

I am now leaving the Land of Shadows to finish my training. I don't know where I'm going, or whom I'll encounter, but I do know this: anyone who tries to hurt me shall die. I have mastered all jutsu. I can control any element [fire, water, earth, snow, light, ice and shadow] and I can combine any of them to make an even stronger element. No one will get in my way.

I'm so weak, I've used too much of my chakra. I haven't eaten in days, and I have no idea where I am. I'm about to pass out. Wait. There's a man over there. He's heading towards me. Hopefully I don't have to use any chakra, because if I do, I'll die. I can't die now.

"Why are you out here so late, little girl," asked the mysterious man. He was standing over me. He had silver hair, and he was from the village, Konogakure, the Land of Leaves. I remembered that Konogakure was an ally with the Land of Shadows. I knew I could trust him.

"I'm lost, sir. I have nowhere to go. My family was killed years ago, and I need to find my sister and to kill her," I replied coldly. The man looked at me with a serious look. I must've said too much.

"My name is Kakashi Hatake. I'll help you. You can live with me in Konogakure, and we'll see where it goes from there. Hop on my back," Kakashi said to me. He seemed to be very comforting. So I decided to go with him. Kakashi threw me on his back and he started running.

Not long after, I fell asleep. Once Kakashi reached his home, he set me on his bed and tucked me in. Kakashi went to go see the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, I found a young girl twenty kilometers off. She's from the Land of Shadows. I didn't catch her name though. She was weak and her chakra was almost to the level of fatality," explained Kakashi. The Hokage looked at him in bewilderment, but after a few moments spoke.

"Kakashi, did this young girl have a dragon shaped necklace on," Hokage-sama asked. Kakashi stood there for a moment. "You don't think she could be, do you, Hokage," asked Kakashi. "If she holds the necklace, Kakashi, that is, in fact, the last Shadow," explained Hokage Sarutobi.

Kakashi looked at the Hokage in disbelief. He thought all of the Shadows were dead, and that the little girl, named Kaori, died as well. Kaori's sister is a S-ranked criminal that the ANBU have been after for years. "Hokage-sama, would you like me to enroll her into the Ninja Academy? She has the potential to be the greatest kunochi that ever lived," Kakashi explained.

Hokage-sama nodded to Kakashi, and Kakashi soon left. Kakashi couldn't stop thinking that he had this little girl in his home. 'This girl is supposed to hold the strongest power ever known to any ninja,' Kakashi thought. Hopefully she uses this power for good, unlike her sister. We'll find out soon enough when she becomes a true ninja.

The next morning, I awoke not knowing where I was. I felt so much stronger than I did the night before. I got out of this bed, charging my chakra, ready to attack anyone. I walked around the corner, and saw Kakashi standing there.
