Ello people!

SO I just got through a crappy week of tests and little sleep, so the content of this chapter might not be the best. BUT I will pour my heart out in the next chapter.

That being said, I present you with the first official chapter!


Four Years later

Thump!

All five of the shurikens land right on the bulls-eye. Perfect. I whip around - pull out my kunai - and throw it right at the approaching dummy. Thump. Right in the chest - surely a fatal kill. Jumping high in the air, throwing out my poison needles and then hear the satisfying sound of them sliding right to their targets. Done. That's a complete training session. Although I should train with my jutsus more...

I collect all my weapons and set off for home. I turn out of the training field into the hallways, the sound of my sandals crunching against the concrete. These empty halls were unusually quiet. Surprisingly, there were no slackers today. Usually I would see a blonde haired boy with three marks on either cheek - the jinchuuriki- accompanied with a boy with tousled brown hair and a dog - my friend Hana's little brother, or sometimes a lounging boy with a ponytail, being followed by a rather chubby boy around the same age.

Counting the days in my head, I remembered today's event, the genin graduation and the team selection. Passing a classroom on my way out I hear a loud groan in disgust. Well, someone isn't happy about their team. Giggling to myself, I finally hit the end of the corridor, reaching the exit. Warmer sunshine hit my body, glaring in my eyes. Ahhh, time to go home- Oh, shoot, forgot! I need to check in with Sarutobi-sama. My father now has constant paranoia of the village, thinking someone will attack him. He would always be on alert, bring as much as five other shinobi as reinforcements.

Personally I saw this as being ridiculous; who would need this many when there are other shinobi everywhere? Relieving him of his worries, I offered to take his place, as the new official ambassador of independent clans. My father was a bit sheepish about me being promoted to chunin by the Hokage, but if it would make my father's nights easier, it's fine with me. I hop on to roofs, making my way to his Lord's office window.

Already two years of the job and coming here was almost a daily routine. Checking in with the Hokage for any missions - if there were any, I immediately set off, if not then I hit the training grounds, practicing my marksmanship and my jutsus. Sometimes fellow Konoha-nin would join me, helping me improve my solar wind jutsu. My clan members would usually train me, but since I have been addressed as ambassador, there have been less opportunities to train with them, and more with the ninja here. But since I am here more, I have to be more careful, now that I have more control over my Hanketsu, its more a danger. Outside of the walls of the village I am free to activate Hanketsu, because I leave no one to witness it, but here, killing someone could cause some serious problems.

Knock, Knock.

I rest myself against the outside wall of the Hokage's office, watching the view as I wait. The plan of the city is quite intricate, not only roads, but tunnels and overpasses were means of connecting the vast buildings. The large walls encasing the village gave a sense of security, protecting the citizens from things harmful. And Itachi… I shake myself from these thoughts. It's been four years… There's no chance of him coming back… In the distance, the vast world stands. My chances of seeing my (ex-)fiancee coming alive every ambassador mission, only to die once the mission was completed. I wonder if I'll get assigned another mission… What is taking him so long? Peering into the window, I see the Third Hokage, just sitting there. What on earth could he be doing?

I knock on the window -it sounds more like a punch than a knock. This catches his attention- quickly noticing me and opening the window.

"Ah, Mizuki, sorry for making you wait. How may I help you?" he pleasantly greets me, stepping back to let me in.

I shake my head at the gesture. "I just came to check if you had any missions for me, I will be checking out momentarily."

"Currently there is none, so you are free to go home."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."And with that I jump off, landing on the trail through city, to home. Successfully landing, I start my way down the mass staircases going down to the park and though the main business street. Loud stalls, are filling with non-ninja citizens, calling out deals to try and catch their attention. But, my attention was definitely elsewhere. Hrmm, it's not too late yet. I could still spend a little more time here... Where should I go… Oh! Grinning to myself, I jump my way out of the street, hopping over buildings all the way to the open training field. Finally, after searching many passing teams, I spotted my younger "friend" coldly glaring at the rest of his team.

Not much of a talker, now are you? "Hey, Sasuke-kun!" I call out, landing right in the middle of their practice field. Behind Sasuke, Kakashi leans on a tree, attention focused on his book.

The yellow-haired boy -Naruto, was it? A troublemaker - elbows Sasuke and asks, "Hey - who is she?" A girl with pink hair stands off to the side, staring dreamily at Sasuke. Shouldn't she be focusing on her skills, not on boys?

"Sorry- did I interrupt a training session?" I ask.

Sasuke replies, "No, we are taking a break. What do you want?"

Can a girl not visit her friend? "Nothing, I was just coming for a visit...But I should leave you to your training. Bye!" I wave at all of them, and jump into the trees, heading home. As I travel, I imagine all the trouble, that team could cause. A slight smirk surfaces. Hehe, that team going to be interesting.


Terribly sorry for the shortness of this chapter. BUT I PROMISE TO MAKE IT UP IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Till then!~Grai
