Prologue: Upon the Arrival

Day was at its peak in the misting woods of the outer perimeter of Konohakugure where three figures jumped along the trees at high speeds. The light colors of their clothing attributed the green scenery's peaceful look as they bounced energetically, and skillfully, on the branches of massive trees.

The trio descended from the trees upon closing in on Konoha's walls. They greeted the guards with smiles, showing identification and exchanging light small talk as they did so.

One smiled and wiped the mist that had landed and accumulated on her forehead, "Ah, Konoha," and continued with her comrades into the gates of the bustling village, chattering with the other two whilst doing so.

Night was long descended on the damp woods of the outer perimeter of Konohakugure where three figures ripped through the brush at wicked speeds. The dark, neutral colors of their clothing blended into the surroundings and the almost silent whoosh of their movements gave the woods a threatening glare.

The trio expanded and took cover behind the trees, scanning the intimidating walls for danger. The night guards knew nothing of their presence as they assessed them.

One leaned off the tree, signaling the others to do the same, and stared impassively up at the village's walls, "Hn, Konoha," and, with a flick of identification to the shocked guards, led her comrades silently into the sleeping village.
