Chapter 1: A Crimson Butterfly Kunoichi

Seven years later, a boy named who was a chunin after he passed the Chunin exams. He is an average boy with white eyes and a brown shoulder-length hair in a ponytail. As a chunin, he wore a black Chinese short-sleeves shirt and black medium pants above ankles with martial artist shoes.

"Another day, another mission accomplished," said Yori, talking to himself. He was talking a walk after completing his solo mission. He wondered what to do next after completing the mission. "I think I'll go to visit Kaa-san right now."

The reason that Yori was going his hahaue Chinata Yukisaki was because he stayed at the Yukisaki clan with his cousin Tsukida and uncle Okami Yukisaki. When he was born, his chichiue Musasi Hyuga, the former branch member from the Hyuga clan of Konohagakure, passed away from a unknown disease. Her hahaue had something important to do before Musashi's death, so she left him in care of her onii-san Okami, who's the current head at that time. After Chinata returned, she told Okami to look after Yori when Musashi had passed away, much to her sadness. Despite that, Okami suggested to Chinata that Yori can visit her on autumn and occasions such as a lunar festival and Chinese New Year. She agreed with Okami after she became happy as he cheered her up.

After deciding to visit his haha, the two chunins noticed Yori and came to him all the sudden.

"Yori!"

The two chunins were wearing the Chinese martial attires as well, considering as the traditional or casual style in Inyogakure.

"Hey, do you have time, Yori?" the black spiky-haired chunin asked him.

"Well... Yes?" he confusingly replied.

"Good! Here's a rumor for you, then."

Yori became bewildered.

"What's going on? Rumor?"

The two chunins noticed that Yori never heard a recent rumor after he came back from his mission.

"I guess it's your luck, Yori!" the black short-haired chunin answered.

"According to a rumor, a famous kunoichi always appeared with red butterflies on the garden bridge of the Sun Moon Lake."

"A famous kunoichi at the Sun Moon Lake?" Yori replied. "With red butterflies around her?"

"She was called Hokori no Megami. She's very beautiful with her appearance and her outfit is special."

"Yes, that's true." he agreed with his teammate.

"Hokori no Megami?" Yori replied. "I don't know this rumor is true. Anyway, thanks for giving information and I have to go something important."

Yori left after listening the rumor about the Inyo kunoichi with red butterflies, the Hokori no Megami, and went to visit his haha. While going to visit her, he began to wonder about the rumor the two chunins mentioned.

"Hokori no Megami..." he thought. As he kept walking, he suddenly noticed he was at the Sun Moon Lake much to sudden strange surprise. "How did I..."

Looking around him, Yori noticed the people aren't here at the lake.

"No one didn't come here. I wonder," he said to himself. Suddenly, a red butterflly appeared in front of Yori, much to his noticed surprise. "A red butterfly?"

It began to beckon him to follow it. Yori followed the butterfly and found someone at the garden bridge, a girl with a white hime-cut long hair to her waist and silver moon eyes, wearing a white Chinese sleeveless medium qipao with butterflies textures and white arm sleeves. She had white long socks and martial artist shoes.

"That girl..."

After meeting a kunoichi, Yori saw red butterflies surrounding her while she watches them. With a girl appeared at the Sun Moon Lake, he knew that the girl he met and saw was the prideful goddess by remembering the two chunin's words.

"According to a rumor, a famous kunoichi always appeared with red butterflies on the garden bridge of the Sun Moon Lake."

"She was called Hokori no Megami. She's very beautiful with her appearance and her outfit is special."

"Hokori no Megami..." he whispered.

Suddenly, the girl noticed that someone was watching her as she turned around and saw Yori, much to his sudden surprise. After seeing him, her face seems emotionless with a faint smile.

"Her face, it seems like that she doesn't have emotions somehow." he stated.

"What's your name?" she asked Yori.

Yori realized that she asked for his name after meeting her in person. He introducted himself to her, "Yori Yukisaki."

"Yori," she realized. "Then this is my first time meeting someone like you."

"Are you the famous kunoichi who was called Hokori no Megami?" he implied. "I'm sure it is you because of those red butterflies."

The Hokori no Megami nodded and answered, "Yes. How did you know?"

"Well... It's my first time for meeting in person. Even I heard about you as well."

"I see."

Yori began to wonder about those red butterflies that are surrounded her. Also, those butterflies were somehow to special at some point.

"Um... Those butterflies. They're always surrounding you. Can you tell me why?" he asked.

Megami wondered about the butterflies whenever they are always with her for a reason. "I'm not sure... they're always stay with me, no matter where I go," she answered. "They first appeared after I graduated Academy, passed the Chunin exams, and now I became Jonin."

"A Jonin!" surprised Yori. "No wonder you're really Hokori no Megami after all."

"Yes. It's because I'm special after all."

Yori forgot the he was planning to visit his kaa-san after meeting the goddess with pride. "Ah! I forgot! I need to visit Kaa-san right now!" he shocked.

Before he was about to leave, Yori wondered what's her name.

"Hey, I almost forgot. What's your name?" he asked.

The goddess noticed that Yori wanted to know her name and began to answer, "Megami. My name is Megami."

Yori surprised that her name is Megami similiar to her title, Hokori no Megami.

"Whenever I'll see you next time, maybe I'll talk with you, Megami. I'm in hurry right now. See you later." he waved at Megami as he started to leave after meeting her.

Megami watched Yori left after talking with him. She looked at the mirror of the lake and wondered about herself.

"Somehow... I have a strange but familiar dream I always saw." she thought looking her reflection. "I want to know... about my true self."
