Prologue
19 years before beginning of Story – Kumogakure no Sato
The Nibi no Neko has been causing problems near Kumogakure for the past few weeks, and the Sandaime Raikage, seeing the opportunity to gain a powerful secret weapon, orders that the demon be sealed into a newborn child, named Nī Yugito. These actions are kept secret from the rest of the world.
7 years later – Kagegakure no Sato
The Kyuubi no Youko has become enraged, and the relation among the bijû has become strained. Even now, the Kyuubi marches towards the heart of the continent and Konohagakure no Sato. On the way, the Hachbi no Urufu attempts to stop him, and is gravely wounded. He retreats to Kagegakure no Sato, the home of the Urufu Keishu. There he seeks help, and a village elder, in response to his pleas, seals him into a newborn, Koneko Sora, to allow him to heal. In thanks for the gift, the Hachibi will provide Sora with power, and protect her in times of dire need.
3 days later – Konohagakure no Sato
The Kyuubi has reached Konoha, and his power is felt by all within the village. The Yondaime Hokage rushes forth upon the head of Gamabunta to face the demon. Knowing of no way to truly defeat the demon, he seals the demon into a newborn child, Uzumaki Naruto. His dying wish is that the villagers see Naruto as a hero for keeping the demon at bay.
2 months later – Sunagakure no Sato
The Yondaime Kazekage seeks a more permanent containment for the Ichibi no Tanuki, the demon Shukaku, and decides to seal within his unborn son. The result leads to the death of his wife, but he cares little, as it gives him a powerful weapon.
1 month later – Kaminari no Kuni
Far to the southern reaches of the mountains in Kaminari no Kuni, the Gobi no Inu, wisest of the bijû dwells. A Kumo-nin in the region, surprises the demon with his rash approach, and proceeds to seal it within a child he had taken form a nearby village. A villager had followed him, and brought the child back to the village.
10 months later – Nami no Kuni
On the easternmost island of Nami no Kuni, the Nanabi no Mujina is spreading destruction. Only a retired Kiri-nin and seal expert stands between the demon, and the village on the island. Using his newborn grandson, whose parents had both died, he seals the demon away, saving his home.
5 months later – Otogakure no Sato
The demented whims of Orochimaru, who is the ruler of Oto no Kuni, have decided to tame a demon for his own control as the Yondaime Hokage had for Konoha. The Rokubi no Itachi, which had hidden itself within the cave systems of that land when the Kyuubi began its rampage, is drawn out and sealed into a newborn. This child, Senchishiki Teigishin is to become a pupil of Orochimaru.
9 months later – Kaze no Kuni
A small caravan of nomads living in the deep desert of Kaze no Kuni, far from Sunagakure encounter the Yonbi no Sasori. It kills many of them, until the eldest manages to seal it into a newborn of the caravan.
2 years later – Kaminari no Kuni
The Jinchūriki of the Gobi, named Tenkoumare Denkoushi, has been reviled for his entire life, and has grown tired of it. He now flees south, and eventually gains passage on a boat to Mizu no Kuni. Once he has arrived, he wanders, until he collapses in exhaustion. When he awakens, he is in a small farming home. He becomes fast friend with the family's child, a girl named Haku. After 6 months, she is like a sister to him. However, one day when he went to the market with the parents, he got separated from them, and was left behind in town. He finds shelter with a merchant, and when the family does not return for him, he travels with the merchant to the mainland in Umi no Kuni. On the journey, Denkoushi expresses an interest to be a Ninja, and when they encounter Konoha-nin returning from a mission in the village they stop in, they agree to take Denkoushi back to Konoha to be trained as a ninja.
Same time – Nami no Kuni
When Haku's parents return home without Denkoushi, they find the sick Haku playing with a ball of water that she was manipulating in her hands. When the father sees this he becomes enraged, and attacks his wife, promptly forgetting about the missing Denkoushi. The reason for his anger is that the ability to manipulate Water and Ice is a bloodline ability that had been hunted to supposed extinction by Kiri-nin. After he has killed his wife, he turns on his daughter, and attempts to kill her. Haku, in a natural reaction, calls up a field of icicles and skewers her father. After seeing this, Haku flees into the forest surrounding her home.
6 months later – Kagegakure no Sato
Koneko Sora has become a full fledged Kage-nin. By the standards of other villages however, she lacks some of basic skills needed to be a ninja.
1 month later – Mizu no Kuni
After living on her own for 7 months, Haku is becoming weakened, and is longing for any sort of compassion. The Kiri-nin Momochi Zabuza finds her and takes her on as his apprentice.
11 months later – Kaze no Kuni
The members of the nomadic caravan are wiped out, except for the young Mottekinoshi Kuraimaru, Jinchūriki of the Yonbi. He most now survive on his own in the harsh deserts of Kaze no Kuni.
4 months later – Nami no Kuni
The Jinchūriki of the Nanabi, Seigyo Masutaamaru, is driven from his village, despised for the demon that he contains.
3 months later – Kirigakure no Sato
After a year and a half of training by Zabuza, Haku is rudely put to the test as Zabuza's plan of overthrowing the Mizukage is unexpectedly rushed. The coup fails, and Zabuza and Haku flee to Nami no Kuni. Here they encounter Masutaamaru, and Zabuza also takes him under his wing.
5 months later – Kagegakure no Sato
After being a ninja for 2 years, Sora is driven out of her village. They fear that she is gaining too much power far to quickly. With the death of the elder who had sealed the Hachibi 7 years earlier, there is no one who has the power to resist the orders given by the council. Sora therefore flees to Konoha, the nearest ninja village. She is told she must re-enter the academy, because she does not understand the basics that qualify her for ninja status in Konoha.
Present Day – Konohagakure no Sato
