The sun shone down on Ringo's face. She looked up into the sky, It was a cloudless day, her favorite type of day. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't. Ringo had to get to Konoha as quick as possible. Then "they" couldn't harm her. She trudged down the path to Konoha, unaware that she was being watched.
Over in a dark cave on a location near the Hidden Rain Village, a plot was sturring.
"Are you sure that it is her?" a cold voice rung out.
"Hai, Leader-sama, I have been following her for a few days, I am certain." Another voice responded.
"Good job, Zetsu, we are almost ready to put the plan into full motion."
Ringo's face lit up. Konoha, finally! It had taken her a week and a half to reach the Hidden Leaf Village. She could finally relax.
"Excuse me, miss, may you please tell me your buisness?" Ringo looked up, startled.
"My buisness?" she asked, confused. The man smiled at her.
"I'm the gate keeper" he said, "and since you are not from this village, you must state your purpose for coming here." Ringo nodded than spoke. "I need to see the Hokage please." The gate keeper took pity on Ringo.
"Sure thing, miss. Let me escort you to his office." The gate keeper walked through the entrance with Ringo following him.
She looked around Konoha with fasination. It looked like a nice community, people were smiling and being friendly. Unlike her former village, the clans seemed to be getting along well. They walked until they got to a building along a wall. Ringo looked up and saw the four Hokages of Konoha carved into the wall. The gate keeper and Ringo entered the building and started walking down a long circular hallway. They stopped outside of a door and the gate keeper knocked.
"Enter." came an old-sounding voice. Both of them entered the room.
"And who may you be?" the old voice said. Ringo looked at the voice and saw herself face-to-face with the Hokage.
"I need to speak to you, Hokage-sama." Ringo gulped. The Hokage nodded. Ringo sucked in her breath and began.
"My name is Mitzuni Ringo and I'm from the village of Tsuki Kirameku." Ringo paused as she heard gasping. She looked behind the Hokage and saw village advisors. The Hokage just looked at her, so she continued.
"Please don't get the wrong idea about me, not all of my clan was bad. The villagers just spread lies about us!" Ringo regained her calm. "I came here to ask you if I could be a part of Konoha. I'm homeless and I want to be a ninja." Ringo got tears in her eyes. One of the advisors poked the Hokage and he turned around.
"Are you going to let her join? She is a Mitzuni." A female whispered. The Hokage nodded and said, "I believe she is homeless, the Hidden Moon Sparkle Village kicked her out and she needs a home." The Hokage turned around to Ringo.
"Welcome to Konoha."
It had been four months since Ringo had joined Konoha. She couldn't wait to go to the academy today! It was the day they would all become teams. Ringo walked inside the academy and saw none other than Sakura and Ino fighting.
"Face it Ino-pig I won!" Sakura glared.
"Because you cheated wide-forehead girl." Ino shot back. Ringo rolled her eyes at them.
"Please stop fighting you two." Ringo said, annoyed. Ino and Sakura glared at her.
"Just because you don't like Sasuke-kun doesn't mean you can ask nosey questions!" Ino shot. Ringo narrowed her eyes.
"Like he'd fall for you, you're to whiney." Ringo shot back.
"Ha!" Sakura yelled and punched the air.
"You too." Ringo said and sat down.
"Hey!" They both said. Suddenly they got quiet. Sasuke walked in.
Sasuke sighed. He hated coming into the classroom. All the girls wanted him to sit next to them. All except for one. Sasuke glanced at Ringo. She was weird. She was the only girl not crazy over him. All the other girls mocked her because she was different and from a different village. Ringo didn't have any friends and was a loner like him. He hated to admit it, but he sort of had a crush on Ringo. Sasuke walked to her table and sat down.
"What!" the angry girls screamed. They gave Ringo death glares, but she shrugged it off. Just than Naruto walked in, oblivious to what happened a few seconds ago and sat on Sasuke's other side. Suddenly the girl's glares turned onto Naruto.
"What?" he asked and looked around. Sakura sighed. "At least I can sit in the same row." she thought and sat next to Ringo. Iruka, the teacher than walked in.
"Okay! Team time everyone! I'll be putting you in trios and one quartet." people looked confused. Iruka smiled.
"Since Ringo joined our class, we have an odd number. So her team will be a team of four." With that, Iruka started naming off the teams.
"Team 7: Ringo," Ringo raised her head up. "Naruto," Ringo moaned and slumped down. Naruto shrugged and Sakura snickered. "Sakura," this time Sakura moaned and Ringo sank lower.
"Yes!" Naruto shot up in the air.
"and Sasuke." Now Naruto slumped and Ringo sank the lowest into her desk.
"Yes!" Sakura shot up into the air. Sasuke grunted.
Later Sakura was outside and was looking for Sasuke when she ran into Ringo.
"Oh! Ringo!" Sakura said. "Have you seen Sasuke? I wanted to go have lunch with him since we're on a team."
Ringo grunted. But before she could say a snappy comeback, Sasuke came up to Sakura.
"You have a charming wide forehead." he cooed at her. Ringo stared at him. Sakura blushed.
"Ugh." Ringo faked gagged and walked away from them. She was nearing the restrooms when she saw Sasuke.
"Weren't you just over there." she asked, confused.
"No, that was Naruto." he growled and walked towards the direction Ringo pointed at. She followed him, this would be good.
They approached Sakura.
"Oh Sasuke!" she squeled. "You're so shy!"
Sasuke ignored her. "Have you seen Naruto?" he asked.
"No." she responded. "Although he has been selfish lately." she observed. Ringo raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, he has no parents, so he gets to do whatever he wants. My mother would kill me. And no offense, Ringo, but you are too, with no parents."
Sasuke bent his head. Ringo bit her lip.
"Do you know how much I would wish to have a parent mad at me!?" Ringo burst out.
"You don't know the pain of solitude." Sasuke said coldly.
"Wait-" Sakura said.
"You don't know what its like, being the last in your clan, its unbearable. Espically since I lost them four months ago!" A tear slid down Ringo's cheek. "I'm the last one in my clan too." Sasuke said quietly.
"Ringo, please don't cry!" Sakura pleaded.
"Why, because its selfish?" she snapped.
"But-"
"Sakura, your annoying." Sasuke said. And he and Ringo walked away.
Sakura sat down after Ringo and Sasuke left. She bent down her head.
"I guess I upset them. Annoying, huh?" Sakura sighed. "Is this how Naruto felt? Maybe I should treat him better." Just then she saw Naruto.
"Naruto-kun! Would you like to go out for some lunch!" she called to him. Naruto's face lit up, but suddenly, he frowned, clutched his stomach, and ran off. Sakura's face scrunched up.
"Freak!" she shouted after him.
Naruto clenched his stomach and ran towards the bathroom. "Why'd it happen now!" Naruto whined running towards the bathroom. He sat down and did his buisness. Then he got out. He walked in Sakura's direction. "I musht apologize to her." Naruto thought and ran. THWACK! Naruto ran straight into-
"SASUKE!" he yelped. Ringo was behind, watching with a bemused smirk.
"H-h-how did you escape?" Naruto asked, confused.
"The untying rope jutsu. A basic." Sasuke smirked. "What were trying to do, disguised as me?" Naruto didn't respond. He started forming symbols in his hands.
"Shadow Clone no Jutsu!" he cried out.
Sasuke gasped. The shadow clones again! He got ready to fight. Naruto's three clones plus him rose into the air. Suddenly, they clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground. They got up and ran for the restroom.
"Move!" they cried. Sasuke just stared. Ringo burst out laughing.
"That idiot!" she laughed. Sasuke started to laugh too.
"That baka." he said.
