Naruto couldn't take it anymore. "Who is she?" He screamed. In the middle of team 7's first independent no-sensei mission Kakashi comes and drops off a random girl then leaves without a word! No name, no I.D, no one's ever seen her… Who is she? And she's only a kid! Every ninja is at least 13 years of age, it's the rule! This girl is only like 10 or 11! She entered their hideout and without a word gave Sakura a note. Then she walked upstairs to the spare bedroom. Sakura is still reading the note. "C'mon Sakura! What does it say?" Sakura said nothing.
"Sakura tell us what the note says." Said Sasuke softly. Sakura read the note. "Dear pupils. I am your sensei so don't question me. Treat this girl like you would your peer. She is now a temporary member of you're team. Her name is Madeline. –Kakashi"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Naruto broke the silence. "This is weird believe it!"
"Cha"
"…"
Naruto's stomach growled. "So when do we eat?"
POV Madeline
I shut the door. I sighed. I was SO tired. I undid my jutsu. My eyes changed from a hazel brown back to their natural coal black color. I gave Kakashi's note to the one he said to call Sakura. They seem nice enough. Maybe they'll accept me unlike the others. Kakashi said my 'talents' would be appreciated here. I wonder what 'talents' he was referring to. I call it a curse. I sighed and flopped on to the spare bed. I should rest. Low chakra is a weakness in battle. I closed my eyes. A searing pain shot down my arm! My eyes shot open as my hand instinctively clutched my neck. I allowed a small gasp to escape. I would not scream here; it would bring all those genin rushing up to my room. I knew I should have had Kakashi seal my curse mark before I left. My shaking hand formed the ram hand sign. The pain in my neck eventually subsided. I glanced over in the mirror. Darn it! My eyes were even blacker than normal. Now I really needed my rest. Suddenly I heard a knocking on my door. Darn it!
POV Genin
Sakura knocked on the girl's door. 'Madeline' as she was called hadn't said a word before running upstairs. Naruto and Sasuke wanted to meet her. She did too. So she made some supper. They didn't even get to see what she looks like. The door opened to reveal a tall 11 year old girl. She had long black hair that cascaded down her shoulders and covered her neck. She also had bright hazel eyes. She couldn't put her finger on it but there was something unusual about her eyes. They weren't quite...natural. She was wearing a black dress and dark blue sandals. "Hey I made some supper and I thought you know you could tell us who you are?" Sakura said somewhat hopefully. The girl smiled. "Ok." she said, and quietly walked down the stairs leaving Sakura standing by her door. Back down stairs Sasuke and Naruto were talking.
"Naruto she's probably a new project...seeing if kids can become ninja."
"I still think she's weird! She walked in not even noticing us!"
"I thought you were a pain. I can't be babysitting a child!" Then she walked down the stairs and sat down on one of the chairs. There was a long awkward silence. Sakura wandered down the stairs. "Found her." She said.
"So where are our manners? Let's introduce ourselves. Right guys?" Sakura said.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My hobbies are-" He started
"Eating ramen yea I know Naruto." Said the girl. "My name is Madeline by the way."
"..."
"..."
"So if that's done why i'm gonna go train." said Sasuke
"and i'm gonna eat this ramen." said Naruto
"I'm gonna go hit the sack." Said Sakura
"Kay, ill be out taking a walk." Said Madeline.
POV Madeline
As soon as I left the camp I undid the jutsu. My eyes immediately went back to coal black. Why am I the only person with creepy black eyes? I needed some fresh air. I walked in the opposite direction Sasuke had. After years of beings rejected by society I had learned just to not be involved with it. That's why I hid in the forest for 2 years. I wanted to train myself to get stronger without society before I even applied for becoming a ninja. No wonder Kakashi wanted me tested before he'd let me become a ninja. Being a ninja requires teamwork. I can't do it. I came to a clearing in the woods. I love training. I think I inherited it from my parents. Training is the one time I can actually be myself. I don't even half to try to hide who I am. I reached up and put my hair in a ponytail. I was about to start training when I noticed it felt like I was being watched. I looked around. "Hello? Is anyone there?" No response. I'm being crazy! Who'd spy on an 11 year old? Time to start training. I did the snake and tiger hand seals. "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!" 3 long green snakes ejected from my sleeve. They smashed into the nearby pine tree. I grinned with satisfaction. My signature move was still perfect. 2 of my 3 snakes returned my sleeves. The last one turned and slithered up an oak tree. There was a large shriek from the tree and the blond haired brat Naruto fell out of it! I stared at him in surprise. "Naruto! What are you doing here?" He looked at me. I recognized the expression in his eyes, it was one I had seen many times in my life, and one I had hoped never to have never seen again. He was afraid.
"Oh!" I exclaimed I formed the ram hand seal and my eyes changed into their fake hazel color.
"Naruto-" I said. It was no use. Naruto managed to say one thing before running back to the hideout.
"S-Snakes. You work for Orochimaru." Then he was gone leaving only the sound of footprints lingering in the air.
