Author's Note: Hello, this is my first story on this site, so please take care of me. Rated M for language, suggestive themes, and graphic violence… you get the idea. This is slightly AU because I make up characters and backgrounds for already-existing "minor" characters. Comments, suggestions, reviews are very much appreciated. Well, on with the story.
Warning: there will be spoilers, so tread carefully
Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Kishimoto sensei, I just borrow the characters sometimes.
Prologue
The entire village was teeming with life and movement.
The war against the Juubi and Uchiha Madara was over. Shinobi were coming back to their villages, their families. Losses were mourned, and wounds were tended, and the survivors started to pick up the pieces of their war-shattered lives.
The Five Kage were working together to right the wrongs of their predecessors and take the steps necessary to achieve peace. With easier matters discussed and resolved, the finer and more trivial matters lay ahead. Every village was guilty of some wrongdoing, and wiping the slate clean was a delicate process.
Despite all of the progress that had been made, there were still missing documents, missing jutsu, and missing ninja. Previously, all ninja had been presumed dead and all documents presumed destoyed.
The Kage sat together in a large meeting room in the Hokage tower of Konohagakure. The five leaders would take a vote to decide who got which files, who was in charge of finding which files, and which files were to be destroyed.
"There's one woman who may know the whereabouts of these documents," said the Mizukage, gesturing to a list of stolen documents from Suna, "We need to find Kanashi."
