Hi, I trust that you all read the summary, so I won't stand here and blab about anything.
Disclaimer: I hate to say this, not 'cuz I'm sad, but because this is all such a bother. So, I'll get it over with quickly. Four words, I. Don't. Own. Naruto.

(anything else, I'll tell you)
Prologue-
The two guards of the west gate of Konoha were bored to hell. People rarely came through here, so why did they have to stand here with nothing to do except to yawn? Exactly, no idea, it was their job. But apperently, they weren't paying attention to their job, their vigilance was so low, that they didn't even feel someone watching them. But of course, that wasn't a normal somebody.
A 12-year-old girl clad in black and wearing a big straw hat over her head kneeled in the bushes, staring intently at the two people in front of the gate, pathetic, they aren't fit to become shinobi, lowering their guards like that. After a few minutes, the girl decided to act. (A/N: if anyone wonders about what she's wearing, imagine Itachi, except that the robe is all black)
The guards were surprised when a human figure emerged from the misty forest up ahead. When the figure came closer, they realized it was a girl, she had penetrating cold silver eyes, jet-black hair tied into a loose braid, and a pale complexion. She had two weapons hanging on her back, both were identical, it was a gold stick with a blade that looked like a crescent moon at each end.(A/N: like this, )—(, get it? There's two of them) The girl stopped walking when she got within one meter of the two guards, she stared at them, and the look sent shivers down their spines. A few seconds past when the girl decided to speak, "Please take me to the Hokage."
The two guards were taken aback by her demand, but stayed suspicious, "Who are you?" one of the guards asked. "My name is Hirosaki Mariko. Now please take me to the Hokage." The guards had no choice but to comply. One of the guards nodded and said "Very well, follow me." The guard led Mariko through the gate and to a building in the middle of the village. They walked in and the guard spoke quietly with the woman at the front desk, the woman got up and rushed down the hall to their right, she returned after a few minutes. The woman spoke with the guard again and the guard beckoned Mariko to follow him as he walked down the hall. They walked to a door and the guard knocked, there was a "come in" and the guard opened the door.
The Hokage's office was not remotely big, but it wasn't small either, and the sandaime himself was seated behind his desk. He waved the guard off and turned his attention to Mariko, who was standing patiently in front of the desk. "So. I hear that you wanted to see me?"
"Yes."
"About what?"
"I'll be straight. I would like to become a ninja in Konoha."
The Hokage seemed interested,"why?"
"A few weeks ago, my parents died and my family kicked me out of my village, I was wandering around the woods when I saw the gates of Konoha, I thought that Konoha would probably be the best place to stay."
"Where did you originaly come from?"
"It is not convenient for me to say, I come from a secret village."
"Are you trained in ninja art?"
"Of course."
"You do realize that even if you are another rank you will have to start from academy."
"Yes I am aware of that."
"Well then, I'll fix up an apartment for you and I'll cover all your expenses until you can cover them yourself. I'll appoint a jounin to show you around."
Although Mariko was surprised, she didn't show it, the Hokage actually let a complete stranger in the village so easily? But she shook it of, reminding herself that she would have a jounin in tow. "Thank you, Hokage-sama." The reply was simple "Your welcome."
