A girl of around 13 years old approached the main gate of Konoha. It was around 11am on Wednesday. On her back was a traveler's pack and in her hands, she carried a sword. Her hair was black as were her eyes which sparkled with a hint of sapphire blue.
Her cloths were travel worn and dusty. She wore the open-toed of a ninja as well as shin pads and a weapons pouch. Her black skirt reached her knees, but had slits up the side to allow freedom of movement and fishnet leggings underneath. Her shirt was silver and tight fitting. It was a v-neck and the sleeves were short and just went over her shoulders. A dark blue jacket reached down about two inches above the end of her ribcage and the sleeves went just past her elbows. On her hands were matching dark blue gloves with strips of metal on them to protect her hands if she punched someone.
She exhaled a large breath when she stepped through the gate into Konoha. "It looks just like I remember it!" She laughed and spun around. Her laugher caught the attention of Izumo.
"May I help you with anything miss?" he asked politely, after all it was his job to help travelers.
She turned to him, her face bright and smiling. "Actually, you can. Would you happen to know where Sasuke Uchiha is?"
That's odd, thought Izumo. Why is this girl looking for Sasuke? Well, she doesn't look like she could cause much harm so I might as well tell her. "Actually, he's out on a mission with Naruto and Yamato at the moment."
The girl frowned. "Oh. Well I guess I'll wait for him at the Hokage's office."
"What business do you have with Sasuke Uchiha?" asked Izumo. It wasn't in his place to ask, but he couldn't help but be curious.
"Family business." Her tone dared him to ask more.
"Well then," he said. "Do you need directions to the Hokage's office?"
She smiled at him. "I can find it all right. It's been years since I've been here, but I remember it under the great stone faces of the Protectors of Konoha."
"Not many people call them the Protectors of Konoha," commented Kotetsu.
She turned to Kotetsu. "I know, but that's who they are. All but Lady Tsunade-sama have given their lives to protect the village. Being Hokage is a great honor, but it also comes with a great responsibility.
She's much wiser than she appears, noted Kotetsu.
"I'm sorry to have kept you from your duties." She bowed to them.
"That's quite all right," said Kotetsu.
Izumo nodded. "It was interesting to talk with you. May I have your name for the traveler log?"
She nodded. "My name is Movi, but I'm not a traveler. I'm returning after many years away." She turned to make for the Hokage's office.
"Just how many years were you away?" Izumo's curiosity was getting the best of him again.
"8 years." Then, she continued into the village leaving a slightly stunned Izumo and a wondering Kotetsu.
As Movi walked through the village she took in all the sights, the sounds, and the smells. A sweet smell wafted through the air. Movi followed her nose to a dango shop. Looking at her watch, it was 11:30 and she could do with a meal. She sat in the booth beside the door, the only one currently open, and opened a menu.
"Oh bother. No tables open," said a female voice behind her. Movi looked up to see a female ninja with brown eyes and a messy purple ponytail frowning.
"Excuse me," Movi said politely. "If you want, you could share a table with me."
The woman grinned. "You aren't trying to get a free meal are you kid?" Movi shook her head and the kunoichi took a set opposite her. "Anko Mitarashi," she offered.
"Movi," was the reply. She returned to scanning the menu.
"Do you happen to have a last name?" the kunoichi… Anko, wasn't looking at the menu.
"Yes," was the short reply.
"Care to tell me it?" Anko seemed more interested in the dango on the counter than learning her last name.
"No. And if you want to continue sharing this table you'll drop the subject."
Anko raised an eyebrow. "A squirt like you kicking a special jonin out of a dango shop booth?"
"Don't underestimate me." Movi's eyes darkened.
"What are you kid? Genin? Chunin?" Anko like this girl. She reminded her a bit of her younger self.
"Jonin." Another one word reply.
Anko's eyes widened, this young, scrawny looking girl was a jonin?! "Congratulations. It must have been hard work earning that title at such a young age. What village are you from if you don't mind me asking."
The girl continued browsing the menu. "I'm not from any village."
This answer by far was the most confusing. "If you're not from any village how are you a jonin?"
The girl put down the menu, as if finally deciding what to get. "My master gave me this." She held up her right hand. On it was the seal of Konoha, in solid gold."
"And who was your master?" This girl was by far one of the most interesting people she had ever met.
"Miss, I'm ready to order." Movi tactfully avoided the questions. Who her master was, was for her to know and her alone.
The waitress came over. "What would you like young lady?" She smiled sweetly at Movi.
"Ginger tea and a plate of dango please." Movi vaguly remembered this exact shop from her childhood. The ginger tea she had drunk had been delicious. She hoped they hadn't changed the ingredients.
"Very well." The waitress turned to Anko. "The usual Anko-sama?"
"Please." Anko was studying Movi. She wondered where the girl had gotten the ring, but she held her tongue. She had pestered the girl enough.
"I take it you come here often?" Movi hated silence. She also hated people looking her over, studying her, doubting her when she spoke the truth.
Anko nodded. "This shop has the best dango in Konoha."
"That's good to know." Movi smiled and they both laughed.
They chatted about different dango stores around the different hidden villages as well as the latest in ninja weapons. Anko grew to like the girl even more in that short period of time when they were waiting for their food. She has never met anyone else who'd been to so many places and made a habit to try the dango there.
The waitress carries their plates over. "Here you go miss, Anko-sama." She set the steaming plates of dango in front of them. A minuet later she returned with the ginger tea.
"Thank you." Said Movi and she picked up a dango. She took a bite out of it and closed her eyes, savoring the warm sweetness. She swallowed.
Anko asked, "How is it?" before taking a bite our of her own dango.
"Delicious." The two of them were quiet as they ate their respective plates of dango and drank their tea. Movi sat down the last stick from her dango and let out a contented sign. "I haven't had dango this good in years."
Anko smiled. "That's why it's Konoha dango." She drank the last of her tea as did Movi. "Well kid I got to be getting back to work. No doubt the Hokage has some more paper work for me to do."
Movi smiled. "I'm headed in that direction too. May I walk with you?"
Anko grinned. "Of course kiddo." The waitress brought them their bills and they both paid for their lunch.
As the walked down the street, Anko stretched her arms out. "Ah, the sun feels so good."
Movi nodded in silent agreement and continued to stare around at all the shops and buildings. "Konoha hasn't changed that much."
Anko nodded. Shops and stores may eventually change, but other than that, Konoha stays the same. It's comforting. Knowing that even as your life changed around you, Konoha will always be the same home sweet home."
"Say Anko?" Movi asked, a bit unsure.
"Ya kid?"
"Do you have any kids?" Movi was originally going to ask her about Sasuke, but changed her mind. The less people who knew why she was there, the better.
Anko laughed. "Me? No." Then, she frowned. "I have commitment issues. Plus I haven't found anyone I'd want to spend the rest of my life with."
Movi nodded. "It's common among ninja."
"Yeah I guess."
"Sorry for prying." Movi was, she had all these secrets and yet, she was prying into Anko's life.
Anko patted Movi on the back. "Kiddo, there's a lot you don't know about me and a lot you will never know."
Movi grinned. "The same goes for me." They had reached the Hokage's mansion.
"Well kid I'll see you later." Anko waved and disappeared inside.
Movi looked up at the Hokage's mansion and at the stone faces above. Well it was now or never. She took a deep breath inside. She looked around. She honestly had no idea where to go.
"Can I help you?" offered a kind voice. Movi turned to see a silver-haired ninja with a kind black eye, a mask, and his headband covering his other eye. Well, well, though Movi. Sharingan Kakashi.
"If you could direct me to the Hokage's office, it would be much appreciated."
"I'm on my way there now. This way." He led the way down the hall and up a flight of stairs. "I'm Kakashi Hatake."
"My name is Movi." Movi was getting a bit tired of all these questions she wasn't going to answer. Luckily for her, Kakashi understood about privacy and wasn't going to push her for answers.
"Welcome to Konoha Movi." The walked in silence until the reached a large red door. "It was nice to meet you. I hope to see you around."
"Likewise." Kakashi knocked on the door and went in. A moment later, another ninja came out.
"Hello Movi. I'm Shizune, the Hokage's assistant."
"Nice to meet you Shizune. I need to speak with Lady Tsunade."
Shizune was surprised at how forthcoming this girl was about speaking with the Hokage.
"The Hokage is a very busy woman…" Shizune trailed off. Movi had raised her hand, the one with the ring and showed it to Shizune. "Very well. Please wait here until Tsunade-sama is done with Kakashi. When Movi nodded Shizune went back into the Hokage's office.
10 minuets later, Kakashi left the room. Shizune stepped out. "You may come in now." Shizune wondered who this strange girl was.
Movi walked into the Hokage's office with purpose. "Hello Lady Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow. This girl was formal. "Hello Movi. What do I owe to this visit?"
"I have business with Sasuke Uchiha." Her voice didn't waver as she said it.
The Hokage was suspicious now. "And what business might that be?"
"I cannot say. I simply ask that when he arrives back from his mission, that I meet with him." Movi was a bit afraid of what the Hokage would say, but her face didn't show it.
I can't refuse her, not while she wears that ring. Tsunade sighed inwardly. "Very well. He's due back in a few hours. When he arrives, I shall keep him here and send Shizune to fetch you."
Movi bowed. "Thank you. Just don't be alarmed if I smack him over the head."
Tsunade's mouth twitched upward in a smile. "Just make sure you don't injure him too badly."
Movi grinned. "Of course Lady Tsunade-sama." She left. Once, she was out of the Hokage's mansion she relaxed a bit. She had a few hours to kill so she set out in search of an apartment.
Two and a half hours later, Shizune and Tonton found her. Movi still hadn't found a decent place to stay. "Sasuke has arrived." Movi followed her back to the Hokage's mansion. She would continue her search for an appartment later.
"Who is it that wants to see me?" Sasuke asked impatiently.
"I don't know exactly." Tsunade was quickly getting annoyed with Sasuke's arrogance. He seemed to forget that here in Konoha, she was in charge.
"But you're letting her anyways!" Sasuke was more than a little mad now.
"Sasuke!" Tsunade said sharply. "She has the ring of the head of the Uchiha clan."
His eyes widened. "How'd she get that?" That ring had been lost since the Uchiha Massacre.
"I don't know. Here she comes. Ask her yourself." Tsunade eyed the door. Inside, she was hoping that girl would smack Sasuke. He needed it.
Shizune opened the door and stepped inside, followed by Movi. Movi ignored Sasuke for the moment although he stood next to her. She bowed to Tsunade. "Thank you Lady Tsunade-sama." Almost faster than the eye could see and to sudden for Sasuke to dodge, she smacked him upside the head and glared at him.
"OWW! What was that for?!" he yelled. Tsunade raised a hand to hide her grin.
"Three things. First of all for being all bent on revenge. 'I want to kill my brother, I must get stronger to kill my brother, oh I know! I'll run off to Orochimaru to get power.. to kill my brother!' Secondly, for forgetting me."
"He killed my entire clan! What do you expect! Sorry for forgetting you, but I've known a lot of people in my time… What's the third reason?" Sasuke was confused. Who the hell was this girl?
"It's related to the first. The third reason is you made Itachi nii-san's life a living hell. How could you do that to him?!" A tear showed in her eye.
Around her, three people were thinking the same thing. Itachi NII-SAN?!?
