A/N: Hello! This will be my second Fanfic ever! I hope you'll enjoy. Right now, Isaac and them are only five-year olds getting ready to become ninjas. I've gotten this idea from watching Naruto, a very good anime. You should watch it! Anyway, later on, the four kids will grow up. So enjoy!

Chapter 1

As silent as a preying tiger, she jumped from branch to branch with grace and quickness. She followed the shadowed figure before her. Whoever it was didn't notice her pursuit.

It moved gracefully, and so did she. When it stopped, she stopped. The shadowed figure turned around, sensing her presence but saw nothing as she was well hidden from its sight.

She grinned and took out three throwing pebbles, each held in between her fingers. She waited; waiting for a chance to catch that person off guard. It turned around, revealing its back.

Now! she thought as she leapt forward with great speed and flung the pebbles towards her unsuspecting target. They struck with a thud and the person fell over with a loud cry.

"Oww!"

She began to giggle. "Ha ha! I got ya, Garet!" she cried out with triumph. She jumped down from her high perch.

Garet rubbed his sore head and pouted. "Jenna, not the head!" he cried. He continued to rub his flaming red hair that stood high above his head.

"Sorry Garet, but this is training! Now, where's Felix?" she asked, listening to her surroundings.

"Right here."

A shower of pebbles rained down and struck both of them.

"Ow! Hey!" Jenna and Garet both shrieked.

Felix leapt down from his hiding spot. "Jenna, you shouldn't reveal yourself when enemies are still present," he lectured his younger sibling.

Rubbing her own head, she glared at him. "I'll keep that in mind!" she growled.

Felix brushed back his long dark hair. "Now you're both out. I must find Isaac before-"

"Too late!"

It was Felix's turn to be pelted by pebbles as Isaac leapt over them. Isaac landed with both feet on the ground and with a wide grin spread across his face. "I won this time!" he cheered and jumped for joy.

"Bah! I won more than all of you," Felix retorted, crossing his arms.

Jenna glowered at him. "Quit bragging. You're no winner, you're a cheater," she said.

"Cheater? I'm no cheater. I play fair," he countered calmly.

"Do not! You keep following one of us until we find another person and then you charge right in when we're not looking!" she claimed.

Felix rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't if you guys moved in stealth! You all make such a ruckus when you move around."

This time everyone glared at him. He re-crossed his arms and smiled.

Isaac dabbed a finger at him. "Felix, you poor loser. We're all perfectly skilled as you, so stop complaining," he said.

Felix brushed back his hair again. "I'm not complaining, Isaac. I'm just telling the truth."

"I'm telling mom!" Jenna cried angrily.

"Uh, I mean, I'm only telling the truth about Isaac. He's a klutz." Felix said.

"K-Klutz!" Isaac fumed. He glared daggers at Felix who stared coolly back at him. "I'll prove to you that I'm better than you. Let's see who wins in round four!"

"Alright. Let's see who wins, Klutz." Felix accepted.

Isaac got even madder. "I'm not a klutz!"

Jenna sighed. Won't these two ever stop fighting? she thought to herself.

Isaac and Felix resumed to glare daggers at each other.

Jenna raised her hand. "I'm going to stay out of this one," she told them as she laid back on a tree trunk. "You boys go on and beat each other up. I'm going to take a break."

"Me too," Garet said as he continued to rub his head. He plopped on the grass, beside Jenna. "Those stones really hurt. We should use something else to tag each other."

"Bah!" Felix said, "They're nothing but pebbles. Too bad we don't get to use real shurikens."

"Hey! Those are even worse! You can get your head cut off!" Jenna yelled.

Felix waved his hand, "Nah, it's not going to be hard to learn how to use them. Once training school starts, I'll be the best ninja there!"

"No you're not!" Isaac yelled. "I'll be the best! And I'll prove it to you too. Come on, round four!"

They both disappeared into the woods in a gust of wind. Jenna sighed once more.

Time passed quickly among them and the game became more hectic. Once out of pebbles, the two boys got into a more hand-to-hand fight. Get knocked down to the ground and you're out. That included getting knocked out of the trees, and that happened too many times.

It's been hours… Jenna thought in a grumpy mood. There was a battle cry to her left and Felix back-flipped and landed perfectly just a few feet away from her. Isaac came flying at him, foot first, as he performed a jump kick. Felix blocked the blow and kicked high into Isaac's stomach. Isaac landed hard on his back with a loud "oomph".

Felix let out a short and raspy laugh. Gasping for breath he said, "Ha… beat ya… again…" Then he fell back and laid in the grass, exhausted.

Isaac coughed, then groaned. "Heh… I still… won more… than you," he gasped.

"Did… not…" Felix panted. They were both weary and dirty from hours of training, to prepare for school.

Garet approached them. "Hey guys, we should head back. It's getting dark." he said.

"That's right." someone said.

They all turned and saw a young woman, dressed fully in a red ninja tunic and black undergarments. Her deep violet-red hair was neatly tied in a ponytail. Tied around her forehead was the silver head piece with the symbol of Sol engraved in it. It was the recognition of being a Second-Class Ninja, or also known as a Genyin. She gazed upon the children with her hazel eyes and stood with a look of amusement on her slender face.

"Mommy! We were about to go home," Jenna squealed happily as she ran up for a hug.

Jenna's mother embraced the little one, then she looked at her son. "Felix? Isaac? What have you two been up to?" she asked in a friendly tone.

Felix let out a nervous laugh. "Nothing… mom. Just… playing…" he panted. He slowly sat up and brushed back his hair out of his face.

His mother frowned. "It's past supper time, young man. You were suppose to be home with Jenna before then. And all of you others, your parents are looking for you too. Come on, let's go home," she said. She lifted Jenna in a piggyback and said, "Felix, can you walk?"

Felix weakly got up, took a wobbly step and nodded. "I'm fine."

Isaac climbed to his feet with Garet's help. They followed right behind the family.

The sun was setting, shedding a red glow amongst the trees, making them look like they were on fire.

"How did the mission go?" Jenna asked her mother.

Her mother sighed. "It was too easy. Defeating the Rat Demons were a cinch," she explained. "I mean, why would they want the Elemental Stars? They're too dumb to use them."

Jenna giggled. "Maybe they wanted to get stronger to try to beat you, mommy. But I know you'll still be stronger than them."

Her mother laughed. "You think Mommy's that strong?"

"Of course!" Jenna said happily. "You can defeat any Demon there is!"

Her mother laughed again. "Ah, that reminds me. Daddy should be coming home tomorrow."

Jenna and Felix cheered in joy.

"Hey," Garet said, "That means my sister will be home too." He smiled happily.

They reached their home village of Vale. It was a village deeply hidden inside the thick forest to protect and hide the village's sacred treasure: the Elemental Stars. These jewels contained massive power, and whoever possessed all of them would be granted infinite energy and strength. If a Demon got a hold of them, then they will transform into an unstoppable monster…

The people of Vale have sworn to protect the Stars hidden deep within Mt. Aleph. For centuries, the Stars have never been touched. Where the Stars are hidden is only known by one man: the Wise One, Kallis Heidachi. He is the village's most strongest and experienced Shinobi, a True Ninja. Age eighty-five, he is the leader of Vale and everyone respected and honoured him.

A man dressed completely in black garments approached the woman and the children. He wore leather arm and leg guards. Strapped to his body were kunai knives and on his back was a katana blade. He too, wore a silver head piece on his forehead that indicated that he was also a Genyin. Strands of chestnut hair fell over his hazel eyes. Dangerous-looking as he was, he smiled brightly.

"Garet, there you are. We were looking for you," he told his son. "Come on, time for supper. We both don't want to be late, your mother is going to yell at us!" he scratched his head nervously.

"Okay, dad. See you guys tomorrow!" Garet said as he ran up to his father who mussed up his hair. They both waved goodbye.

"Thanks Shina, I'll see you tomorrow," said Garet's father as he left.

Another man approached them with a panicked expression. He also wore a Genyin head piece on his forehead that held his honey-brown hair out of his face. He wore a black garb with streaks of gold and white undergarments. Strapped on his waist were kunai knives and a katana sword. He looked relieved when he saw who they were.

"Oh, I'm glad you found him, Shina!" he told the young woman. Then he bent down on one knee in front of Isaac and placed both hands on his shoulders . "I was so worried about you, young man! If your mother found you missing when she comes home, she would put my head on a platter. Literally!" he exaggerated. He sighed with relief. "What happened to you! Did you get attacked?" he asked his son with worry.

Isaac only giggled. "Don't worry, dad! Felix and I were just playing," he responded. "Mom's coming home?"

His father let out another sigh of relief, then he shook his head. "No, no. She won't be home until another three days," he explained. "Come on. I have to get supper ready for the both of us, then you can stay with auntie Shina. Or do you want to stay at Garet's house over the night?" he asked.

Isaac looked sadly to the ground. He shrugged his decision. "I don't know… Anyone's fine…" he answered quietly.

"Isaac… I'm sorry. It's just that… I have to be with the night watch and…" his father explained.

Isaac faked a smile. "It's alright, dad. I understand how important it is…" he said, trying to cheer his father up.

His father looked straight into his blue eyes and smiled. "I'm glad you understand. Your mother and I are really sorry, for not being there for you. Too much is happening and so…" his father tried to explain.

Isaac nodded and continued to smile, "It's okay, dad. Really."

"Alright then. Shina, do you mind taking care of Isaac over the night?" his father asked the young woman.

"Not at all, Kyle. I know how hard it is to be there for Isaac with your wife gone on a mission, and you being with the night watch," Shina said.

Kyle smiled. "That's great. I'll drop him off after supper."

After a disastrous supper, Kyle dropped Isaac off at Shina's home. "Remember, tomorrow's your first day of training, so don't stay up too late. You have to wake up early in the morning," he told his son whom nodded in response. Kyle smiled and patted the head of his bright little boy before he left.

Concern began to spread across his face as he headed towards his post. Dora has been sent, along with many others, on a dangerous mission to eliminate a large army of Snake Demons to the south of Vale. Snake Demons were poisonous and Kyle worried about the team's progress.

What if they got ambushed by the Demons and many were killed? he thought horribly. He furrowed his brow. He knew he shouldn't think about things like that. He always had a nagging feeling whenever his wife was gone from his sight. She's too precious to me… I can't stand losing her. Neither can Isaac, he thought with dread.

Once he reached his post, on top of the village gate, he gazed upon the starry night sky and hoped for the best.
