Hello! I really don't have much to say, but I hope you enjoy this chap!

"Is this really Konoha?" said a cloaked figure.

'It's supposed to be… but it doesn't look like it.' From the cliff, you could see a huge wire fence with uniformed people walking around it, behind it was another fence made out of wood.

"Ch. Doesn't look much, let's see if there's anything good in there." And with that, he took off, jumping into the forest below.

'Might look different on the outside, but might be the same on the inside."

'I highly doubt that, naturals most likely made some changes to the place.' Within moments, he was in front of the gate. "Interesting…" immediately he was surrounded by people in uniforms, their guns all pointed at him.

"What is your business here?" asked a man that stepped in front of him.

"I'm a traveler that's passing by," he said with a small smirk.

"Well then why are you standing here?"

"It would be easier if I take a short cut through the village, right?" his smirk grew even wider as the man in front of him got even more irritated.

"A little kid like you should be home with your parents, so why don't you go home right now?" when he said that, the smirk on the boy's face disappeared and turned into an surprised look, soon it turned into a smile.

"Do I really look like a kid?" he said with a different voice, one that sounded like an adult's voice and was deeper than the child's voice before. The person that was talking to him was surprised at the sudden change of voices.

"What the-" before he could finish, the boy pulled off the cloak that he was wearing… only to find their general (1) standing in front of them.

"Ge-ge-general, sir!" all of them yelled "Sir!" and then saluted to him.

"General, wh-what brings you here?"

"Well, I was just testing a way to disguise ourselves… and by the looks of it things went quite successful!" and added a smile with it.

"D-demo, why would you want to test a way to disguise ourselves? We've got shinobi to do the spying for us."

"Yes, of course we do. But that's not what the disguises are for, they're for spying on the shinobi."

"But why would you want to spy on them?"

"Shinobi are… sneaky creatures, they could lie about anything," he explained, it looked like he was about to say more, but he didn't.

"So…you're planning to spy on them by blending in with them?" the soldier guessed.

"Close, but that wasn't what I'm planning to do. I'm planning to hire spies that aren't shinobi, so they could kidnap one of the family members from each family and replace them with themselves. So they would be able to find out what they really think about us and if they're planning to overthrow the government."

"Oh…That's brilliant sir! Who would have thought of that?" the soldier said as he gave the general an encouraging smile…well, he tried to.

"Well, I better be on my way now, I've got some business in there," he nodded toward the gates and then started to go to the gates.

"I hope your business goes well, sir. Have a good day," the soldier called after the general.

After the general was in the village and away from the gates, he went into an alley and continued to walk. Once he was far from the main street, he made a hand sign and after the smoke cleared, it revealed the boy with the cloak from before.

"Shinobi are sneaky creatures," he muttered as he went back to the main street.

As he went through the street, people gave him odd looks and whispered about him behind his back.

'Aren't you going to change into something else? People are staring at you like you're some alien or something.'

'When I find somewhere to stay I'll change into something else.'

'But why didn't you turn into something else back there?'

'I just want to see how the naturals will react, besides, I still have to let them know that I'm here, right?'

'Actually, I think that they already know that you're here,' two naturals (2) stood in front of him as another one stood behind him, pointing a gun at his head.

"Who are you and why are you here?" said the person behind him.

"I'm just a traveler that's taking a short cut through this village. Any questions?"

"I'm the one asking questions here!" came the reply in an irritated voice.

"Well then, why aren't you asking questions?" because of that, the soldier got even more irritated.

"I'll ask the questions when we're at HQ!"

"And what if I refuse?"

"What?"

"Am I talking too fast for you? I-said-and-what-if-I-refuse?" as he was saying this he turned around to look at the soldier. The man grabbed the collar of his cloak.

"Nobody ever disobeys the military! You got tha-" the boy that was in front of him disappeared. Before he could find out where he went, he was on the ground spitting out blood and then was out cold.

"Who said that everyone had to obey orders from an idiot like you?" he was about to walk away when a bullet hit him in the shoulder. One of the other soldiers was pointing a gun at him.

"You're not going anywhere unless it's HQ…" but the soldier didn't really sound so sure about it.

'Most likely an amateur,' he guessed and started to walk towards the remaining soldiers. They started to step back as he approached them, before they could take another step, he was already in front of them, grabbing the gun out of the person's hand as both of them fell. He started to examine the gun, turning it in his hand as he muttered something that sounded like "…pathetic weapon" or something else that they couldn't understand. Soon he crushed the gun in his hand, surprising the two that were in front of him.

"You naturals are pathetic," was all he had to say, he started to walk away.

"Wait!" He turned around and waited. Both of the soldiers were surprised that he listened after saying that he didn't listen to them. "Well? I'm waiting…"

"W-what's your name?" the question barely came out as an whisper, but the kid some how heard it.

"Just call me Shadow." And he disappeared in a black swirl of mist.

Well, that wasn't bad, right? Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you'll review because it was really hard to put all the ideas that were in my head into words.

Notes:

1.In case you're wondering how the 'general' looks like… well, I'll try to describe him the best I can. He has a beard, has sand coloured spiky hair (same colour as his beard), brown eyes, tanned skin, and if necessary, a big smile that reveals white shining teeth that could blind someone. Lol, but he didn't do that to the soldiers that were there. Just to let you know, the uniforms that the soldiers and generals are wearing are green military uniforms.

2.Just to let you know, the people that are shinobi and the people who are naturals wear different clothes (kind of obvious), but there's a possibility that a shinobi/natural would wear clothes from the other…culture (or whatever you consider it), but it's rare that someone would do that. Besides, all of the people that are in the military that are naturals wear the military uniforms, while the shinobi who are in the military wear what shinobi wear.
