Jusa Savati stared out over the students in front of her. For generations, the Savatis taught the children of the high royals all over the world. Some married into royal families, others left ehen their tenure was done. She'd been with her family in the High Mountains far to the East when tragedy hit. Jusa's parents, sibilings, aunts and uncles, all of the them were slaughtered. The noble responsible for their deaths was incensed that the King refused to teach his children and sought to throw a coup. The coup was successful, the royals dead, but Jusa had been quick to escape with her niece, Neve, and the guards had underestimated her. Jusa's mother was from a strong warrior tribe who believed in knowledge but also having a defense against those who hated such. Jusa's sibilings had not taken the training of their mother seriously so they fell easily. Jusa grabbed Neve and ran. Guards fell under her fists. She was almost to the coast when a man grabbed her.

Flashback

Jusa was running with Neve in her robe. The guards were on her before she could reach the coast. Fear coursed through her. She was running so hard she didn't pay attention in front of her. Jusa collided with a chest of a man. She fell backwards, Neve, poking her head out, but was caught by the shoulders. She looked up at the large man. He towered over her."Sorry, lady, I mean no harm." the man said. A woman wearing a bright pink turban appeared beside him

"Nate, you know your size isn't hard to miss but..." the woman started to speak but was stopped.

"Halt! Give the woman and baby to us. She is wanted for teaching malicious information to children." The laed guard said. Jusa spat at him. The woman in pink looked dubious at that charge. Jusa spoke.

"Yes, teaching children the history of the land. Children that are no longer alive. These traitors murdered them! I am a Savati. My family has taught the children of the world for generations. But that is gone! Only me and my niece are alive! Monsters! Killing innocents!"Jusa said venom in her voice. Nate turned to the group. His partner merely looked at him.

"She...lies." one man stated. Nate's iron black eyes landed on him. Nate knew then who was truthful.

"Scarlett, this a coup. These...animals are murderers." Nate said. Scalett's stance changed from free to a martial art few ourside the desert had seen. The guards were unsure until the leader spike.

"Kill them." He shouted. A volley of arrows would have turned them into pin cushions if not for Nate summoning wind around his body and turning it into thick ironclad armour. The guards were truly terrified.

"You're called Ironclad. If you him then she's...flee! This woman...is Scarlett of the Flame! Flee!" The lead guard said. Four of said group ran only to run into a wall of iron.

"Really, boys? Nate can turn air into iron. What made you think that you coul escape? Hahaha, but I think you need to be purged of your sins. Killing babies? You created your future when you slaughtered those innocents. Now, perish in the fires of the lives you snuffed out.

Flame art: Purging soul death! Scalett said. The men felt nothing. They began to laugh.

"Useless, kill her...aaaaaaaahhhhhhh. My heart! It burns." One screamed. A pink glow was seen in his chest. All the others were on their knees. Screams rendered the air as their hearts burned with pink fire. Scarlett's eyes never changed from tge steely gaze.

"You...you...are..a ...monster."

"No, you are. The children who died tonight. This is their act. Hmmmph, the best? Hahaha! That is one of my lowest powers. Now go face your afterlife." Scarlett said turning away from the dying men. Nate had already captured the leader. Iron encrusted legs insured he wouldn't move.

" Scarlett, I did not kill him. Should we take our leave?"

"Leave for the people to find. We are needed elsewhere." Scarlett said. Nate nodded.

"Wait! I would like to accompany yo. My niece and I need a new home away from here." Jusa said. Scarlett smiled.

"Of course. Velos is always needing new citizens. Besides, we are building an Academy. We need teachers. And who could resist such a cute baby! Whats her name?" Scarlett asked.

"Neve. My sister was named Nevehai." Jusa said. Scarlett smiled.

"Shall we depart? The carriage is ready."

Jusa cast her eyes on the great city for the last time, tears in her eyes. Goodbye, my family.

Jusa seen Rania and Tsunade coming to the field. A man in green was with them.

"Students! It is with the power of knowledge that you can build upon the fires of your hearts and souls. No matter your age , KNOWLEDGE WILL BURN LIKE THE FIRES OF YOUTH. So attend your classes, do your best, and always seek to learn. Dismissed." Jusa said. She appoarched the trio, noticing that the green clad man had stars in his eyes.

" Helli, I'm Jusa Savati...welcome to the Academy. I..." She stopped as Guy got on his knees.

"Beautiful lady, woukd have dinner with me tonight?! Our fires of youth burns brightly." Guy asked. Jusa smiled.

"I'd like to but I have a niece to attend to and I..." Jusa began. Guy sighed.

"Guy, perhaps you could take Lee as a companion for the girl?" Tsunade said. Guy smiled.

"If Lady Jusa wishes it, a doyble date will be most enjoyable. Lee is twelve years old."

"Neve is eleven. Very well, Guy, I accept the invitation. It not often these people allow youth to shine."

"We will show that true youth shines. Until 7 tonight. Where may I pick you up?" Guy asked. Jusa smiled. She turned at pointed to a small house.

"There. We will wait your arrival. Niw, anout this shinobi teacher, when does he want to start?"

"ASAP."

"Tell him to be here tomorrow 8am. And his name?"

"Iruka Uduai." Jusa nodded. She smiled.

"Now, I must attend to the students. Good day." Jusa said heading to the building. Rania smiled as she and Tsunade left the grounds.

"Why are you smiling?" Tsunade asked.

"I won a bet." Rania said. Tsunade smirked.

"Kakashi owes me 500 dollars."

Tsunade laughed.
