The Essence Within (part 1)

Chapter 1 backgrounds

The sun set on this golden day, the Third Hokage came to greet them in person.

"who would have thought it possible," he said to the three Genin, "these three have done the never before done. They have completed the Forest of Death without losing their scrolls, however… you managed to retrieve all of the scrolls from the other unit cells of Genin." He looked into the eyes of Akurei, Reiki, and Kaichou. "You three have displayed miraculous feats and are exempt from the final parts of the Chunin exams, furthermore, you three are automatically elevated to the Chunin level!"

The three friends stood, they were no longer children. They departed to their homes together astounded by their new ranks, anxiously awaiting their new assignments tomorrow.

The Hokage watched from his window. "it's getting hard," he said. He looked up the files of the new Chunin, "to think anyone could possibly pull of a move like that, they completely shamed not only their fellow leaf ninja, but the ninja of sand, sound, and mist." He looked up the file of Akurei, "Tamashii Akurei, a boy born without chakra," the Hokage said, "according to his file, the physical energy and spiritual energy that make up chakra were separate within his body at birth, over time his physical energy dwindled down to nothing, his body fuel is spiritual energy. He can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu but he can still formulate a multitude of long range ninjutsu attacks, the likes of which I've never seen."

He looked at the next file, Reiki's. "Zama, Reiki, the immortal girl. She cant use ninjutsu, but she cant be harmed by physical attacks or ninjutsu. Her body shields her. Is it possible she posses hidden talent?"

The third Hokage looked at the last file of Kaichou, "Uchiha Kaichou, a Genin in the possession of the Sharigan. He has advanced farther than most with it, he matches that of Itachi, but he is young. He has much to learn."

The Hokage scratched his beard. "Perhaps these three will become the destined leaders of this new generation as fate puts it, or they will be the death of us all.
