"I'm sorry but we'll have to know who you are and your reason for being here" he said.
From under her hood, which shadowed her face she looked up at him, he could see her lifeless firey eyes as she said "I am Kurobara Iani and i am returning home..."
He looked at her surprised and said "I've never seen you around here before"
She blinked slowly and said "Thats coz i haven't been here for a while, I've been...travelling"
The guy frowned and said "Well maybe i should take you to see the Hokage"
Iani shook her head and stepped past him.
"That wont be necessary, i dont want to distract you from your job..." she said as she disappeared into the village.
the two guards looked at each other and shrugged, returning to their places.
Iani walked into the Hokage's office to see a new Hokage and she was just dismissing a team. As the team turned around they spotted her. she was completely covered by a black cloak and a big hood, all they could see were her eyes.
The hokage eyed her suspiciously and looked at the Jounin, signalling for him to stay.
"Can i help you?" Tsunade asked.
Iani looked her straight in the eyes and Tsunade looked surprised.
"Maybe you can, are you the Fifth Hokage? What happened to the old man?" Iani asked.
"Yes i am and the Third Hokage died in battle" Tsunade told her.
The girl didn't react whatsoever and just said "Quite a few things have changed since i've been gone"
"Gone? you lived here before?" Tsunade said, glancing at the Jounin once again.
"...Yes, I am Kurobara Iani...Blood heir of the Kurobara clan" she told her.
Tsunade looked shocked and Iani could see out the corner of her eyes that the jounin was shocked too.
"I wish to become a Leaf Village ninja, if you will allow it" Iani told them.
Tsunade shook her head and asked "But where have you been all this time? i heard that you suddenly disappeared!"
Something flickered in Iani's eyes but it was gone in a second, making Tsunade think it was a trick of the light.
"I do not wish to discuss the facts of my past with anyone, apologies" Iani replied.
"Well, I'll have a Jounin test your abilities and if you pass his expectations you can become a leaf Genin" Tsunade told her.
The Jounin to Iani's left glanced from Tsunade to Iani and back to Tsunade.
"Hmm...how about Kakashi? He'll give a good test" Tsunade said. then she turned to the Jounin "Go tell Hatake Kakashi that i wish for him and his team to come to my office right away"
Iani stayed where she was, not taking her eyes off Tsunade, which made her, a fifty or so year old Legendary Sannin, feel slightly nervous.
"Take a seat if you want Iani-san, Kakashi should be here soon" Tsunade told her, Trying to make the girl look away, it worked and Iani Sat down on the couch, Now Tsunade couldn't even see her eyes coz the shadows seemed to engulf them.
After about five minutes of silence Kakashi walked in with his team of Genin behind him.
"You wanted to see us Hokage-sama?" He asked.
Tsunade stood up and said "Yes, All of you i want you to meet Kurobara Iani..." as Iani stood up and walked towards them, her eyes were now visable again and she said "Hello"
"Kakashi i want you to test her and decide whether you think she should be a genin or not" Tsunade said.
Kakashi was staring wide-eyed at the young girl hidden by the darkness of her cloak.
Naruto walked over to her.
"I...Iani-chan?" he said, Iani didnt react and just looked at him, he hesitantly pulled down her hood and they saw her hair was tucked into the cloak so they didn't know how long it was but it was a beautiful firey colour like her eyes but her hair seemed to glitter while her eyes were dull. her face was pale, as if she had never taken off the cloak. Naruto gasped as she stared into his eyes with a total lack of emotion.
"Hello Naruto...I'm back" she said simply.
