Chapter 4

Kyou was so upset with herself. They threw a kunai at her backpack and when everything fell out she got distracted. She was only distracted for half a second. But it didn't matter, these ninja were different. The ninja from the smaller villages weren't trained as well. The Leaf Ninja were good.

Kyou was frustrated. She shouldn't have gone up on the rock faces. She shouldn't have gotten caught. She shouldn't have even messed with Konoha. She could be in jail the rest of her life..Kyou shook her head to get the horrible thoughts out.

"Hey what's wrong, why did you shake your head?" One of the male ninja asked.

"No reason." Kyou said.

They were almost there. She could she the big gate of Konoha. It wasn't the front gate it was a side gate but it was still big. They walked past some ninja keeping watch. "Is that the ninja who was up on the rock faces?" A female ninja who was on watch said.

One of the male ninjas that caught Kyou replied,"It sure is!"

They walked into the gates as the female ninja stared at Kyou with a look of disgust. Kyou couldn't believe it. Not one hour ago she was a rogue ninja not one care in the world,and now she's going to be labeled as a criminal.

The village was huge and teaming with life. There were people everywhere. Kyou's own village wasn't even close to this big. They stopped in front of a big building. And more ninja took her into the building. The ninja that caught her stayed and talked to other ninja. They probably were talking about her said attempt to get away.

Kyou tried to keep from gawking but it was so cool. All these ninja working together. This building was so big. It was awesome.

Finally a big guy with scars on his face and a trench coat walked up. He looked at Kyou and she shrank under his stare. "Is this the ninja that was up on the Hokage faces?"

"yes sir." One of the other ninja said.

"she's coming with me then." He grabbed her shoulder firmly and escorted her into an interrogation room. He slammed her into a chair and said,"I'm Morino Ibiki. You're going to tell me everything. What your name?"

"Im Kyou Jakai.." Kyou tried not to shake, but she was pretty sure she could see a drop of blood on the ground. They probably have tortured people in this room.

"okay, Kyou. Where are you from?" He said opening a file and writing her answers down.

"n-nowhere." Kyou said silently.

"Excuse me, what?"

"I said, nowhere."

"so you want me to believe a ten year old is just on her own doing whatever." He was getting mad.

"I'm actually eleven. And my parents are dead." Kyou was gaining confidence.

"You dont have any close relatives?"

"No. They are all dead."

"okay finally, why were you up on the Hokage Monument?" Morino was getting right to to the point.

"There's really no specific reason, really." Kyou said in desperation.

"Okay. Kyou. If you dont lie, this will be mich easier."

"Okay, i'll tell you..." Morino sat up straighter.

"I've never been up on the faces. And since I was younger I've wanted to go up there." Kyou was fidgeting.

"Okay umm good," he started to get up, "Stay here ill be bacck."

Morino walked up to the ninjas who caught Kyou. They were still at the front desk. " You three. In my office, NOW."

The three ninja hurried into his office. They were all scared. Morino is not a man to be messed with. "So you caught her and told us she was a dangerous missing nin? Are you kidding me? You are bringing in eleven year old children when there are terrible ninja killing people out there!"

One of the ninja took a step closer to Morino and said,"Sir, umm, actually she used jutsu we have never seen before."

"Really? Like what?" Morino was tapping his foot impatiently.

"She waved her hand like this," the ninja motioned what he saw Kyou do,"and a wall of ice appeared. Then later she did this hand sign and the same exact thing happened."

"Okay well I'm not going to hold an eleven year old for spying." Morino walked out of his office and back to the room where Kyou was. "We're going to let you go."

"Really! Okay!"Kyou couldn't believe it!

"But first someone wants to talk to you." Morino said as his face got dark.

A man with the top of his head and right eye wraped in white bandage, walked into the room. He had his right hand covered and he had a scar shaped like an X on his chin.

Morino walked out without even looking at the man. The man with the X scar sat down and introduced himself saying,"Hello Im Danzo, head of the Anbu Black Ops."

"Hi I'm Kyou Jakai." Kyou didn't know what to expect from this man. He was scary..

"Well Kyou I'm going to get straight to the point. Ive heard about your talent and i want to recruit you. We only take the best and it seems you are well ahead of your age group. You have talents that would help us greatly. So what say you?" Danzo seemed like he wanted an answer. Kyou had no idea what to say.

"I dont know-" Another old man walked in with a large hat. Kyou was so confused, why were there so many old people?

"Hello Danzo." The old man with the big hat said to danzo.

"Hello, Lord Third. What brings you here?" Danzo didnt seem happy to see the other old guy was here.

"Im just going to talk to this young lady. So if you would please give us a moment." The third hokage said.

"Ill give you a moment then." Danzo walked out of the room.

"Hello,sorry about that. I'm the third Hokage, or the leader of this village. Actually you were walking on my stone head carving that is on the cliff, earlier today." The third Hokage said with amusement.

"I'm so sorry, I just-"

"It's fine. But i just need you to know your options before you accept Danzo's offer. We have a ninja academy here with lots of kids your age. i feel for a young lady like yourself it would be better for your talent togo to the academy. But its up to you."

Kyou couldn't believe what the Hokage just said. "There are kids...my age?"

"There certainly are. So what do you say? Academy or Anbu?" The Hokage said lightly.

Kyou has longed for a friend, especially at her age. She knew her answer and she didn't have a doubt in her mind. She knew what she was going to do. "Sir, im going to choose the academy."

"Very well. You will have an apartment and rent will be paid for you. And each month you will get a certain amount of money to cover food and clothing costs. Would you like me to tell Danzo your decision?" He was a very kind old man. No wonder he is the Hokage.

"No i need to tell Danzo myself." Kyou decided she needs to be the one to tell Danzo.

Kyou got up and walked out of the interrogation room and found Danzo down the hall."Excuse me. Danzo, I'm going to have to turn down your offer."

Danzo looked at Kyou with a weird look then he said,"Thats disappointing. You would have been great. if in the future you ever change your mind, your talent is always welcome with the Anbu Black Ops."

"Thank you." Kyou said earnestly.

The Third Hokage walked up and said,"Kyou ill show you to your apartment. Farewell Danzo."

Danzo stared at the Hokage with such hatred Kyou couldnt help but look away. This man was, different. Something was weird with Danzo. And that scared Kyou...

"Let's get you to your apartment! I will explain everything on the way." The hokage said while taking out a pipe to smoke.

"Okay!" Kyou followed the old man. Things were changing for Kyou. She diDn'tknow if it was for the better or for the worse, but she would know very soon.
