Chapter 1
It was a summer night in Konoha, but the wind was cool. The residents have all but gone to bed. The occasional shinobi running across roof tops, handing in their mission reports before heading home themselves. The wind began to blow harder and dark clouds started to appear out of seemingly nothing. A young blond haired shinobi having a late dinner with his silver haired apprentice, ran out into the streets as the wind became harsher even lifting small charts that had been left on the street. His apprentice was just behind him searching the street trying to figure out what could change the weather so drastically, so quickly.
Just outside the village, in front of the north gates the sky split in half. Revealing red angry clouds and rain started to pour from the blood-covered sky for a solid half an hour as the shinobi still awake tried to secure anything loose and get any civilians still out to safety. In the centre of the crack a bright golden light with red-orange flickers streamed across the whole sky calming everything instantly. The wind stoped blowing harshly and the rain stoped.
The shinobi running around the village stoped and stared in awe at the sight of the golden light, it shimmered in waves and moved fluidly rising and falling gently as if it had a life of its own. The young blonde shinobi headed to the north gate with his apprentice still hot on his heels. As they reached the gate the gold light shrank and condensed into what looked like a girl with long flowing hair. The light still enveloped her body so it was hard to make out any distinguishing features. They stared up at her shocked and awed expressions on their faces, even the little apprentice who was usually so good at concealing his emotions. The crack that reached across the sky slowly closed and the gold covered girl began to fall from the ground, to fast for anyone present to react.
The girl's small body hit the ground and a giant crater marked the land. Just after she impacted with the ground anbu and the third Hokage Himself appeared by the two shinobi's side. They all peered over the side and what they saw still surprised them. It was a small girl, but that much they had figured out, with long red hair and she was covered in cuts, blood painting the better part of her body. What surprised them though was how young she was and the giant seal that stretched across her limbs and her torso.
In the crater the young girl cracked her eyes slightly and stared straight into the eyes of a man she thought she would never see again, her grandfather figure. A lone tear fell from her eye as she lifted her tired arm up trying to reach out to one of her most precious people before darkness claimed her once more and her hand fell.
The on lookers didn't know what to make of the strange girls actions. Turning to one of the anbu the Hokage ordered. "Heal her enough to mover her without killing. Then take her to T&I. Have Inochi look through her mind and report any finding straight to me."
