Chapter 1
The Homecoming
"Hurry Kakashi! We are going to be late for our meeting. If we are, I shall run 2,000 laps around Konoha! Yosh!" Gai quickened his pace as the silver haired ninja kept his face in his book.
The two arch-rivals entered the hokages office to find it surprisingly empty. The only ones present were themselves, Jiriya, Asuma, Anko, Tsunade herself, and Kakashi's former teammate, and present girlfriend, Rin.
"No doubt you are all wondering why you are here. I'm sorry to say that there is an urgent matter that you five might want to hear about." Tsunade stood from behind her desk and walked towards the doors. "Please come with me. Jiriya, you are to stay here in case any other matter pops up." The white haired pervert nodded and sat down behind the desk and put his feet up before dozing off into a quite slumber.
The remaining four followed their hokage down a flight of stairs and down a brightly lit hallway. She stopped abruptly, causing a pile-up of ninjas.
"I'm sure you all remember the tragedy of the Yuuhi clan ten years ago. Every one of their clans members were wiped out including the head family of the clan, Lord Kazero and Lady Minako." The five in front of her nodded remembering the head of the family wasn't the only one who lost their life that night.
"I want you all to look into this room and give me an explanation as to why this has happened." She opened the door and allowed the others to follow her into the room. What they saw was shocking.
The only bed in the room was occupied by a woman around twenty-two with long black hair. Her pale skin glowed in the light coming from the window beside her. She had many cuts and scrapes on her face and visible arm. She also had a large bandage covering what looked to be a large gash on her neck. She looked horrible, yet beautiful at the same time. Her eyes were closed yet they were slightly open, as if they were fighting to open. The tiniest bit of red could be seen.
"Who...Is she?" Rin finally asked, breaking the eerie silence that had come over them.
"You five are looking at the only remaining member of the Yuuhi clan. Yuuhi Kurenai."
