Hidden Leaf Ninja: The Hidden Leaf Story
Prelude
The mission was over to accompany the Sand Genins participating in the Chuunin Exam to the Hidden Leaf Village alive. The immediate results were not worst than the upcoming invasion of the Sand Country and Sound Country during the final Chuunin Tournament. As for the immediate results, Aburame Shiro lost his life and was included on the memorial for Hidden Leaf Ninjas who lost their life on a special mission. Strictly, the mission would be called a mistake for bringing the Chuunin invasion's secret weapon into the village and very few dwelled on the fact that the team, lead by Morino Ibiki, a ANBU torture specialist, had prevented the S-rank former Hidden Leaf Ninja, Uchiha Itachi, from capturing Gaara. It was a mission that made victory impossible.
Aburame Shino and his father stood looking at the memorial.
"You have not won yet," Shino filled in his brother's name, "Uchiha Itachi."
"And so the new cycle begins," his father stated.
And the old cycle will be revealed.
