Chapter 1 (A New Character)
Alone and friendless, Ameduro the soon to be newest ninja of the hidden leaf village Konohagakure travels in the hot weather to the front gate. Just for a moment he stares in awe at how large the gates are. Suddenly a voice startles him out of his trance. "What business do you have with the village of Konoha young traveler?"
Ameduro replies in a calm and collected manner. "I am here to speak to the Hokage about my acceptance into this village as a ninja. Before you refuse me I must tell you that I have crossed the Overdrive mountains for this journey, so do not anger me by telling me that I cannot accomplish my mission."
"Y..y..you have crossed through Overdrive mountain." The guard stummbles on in shock. "That is impossible, even some of our most elite ninja can't cross through Overdrive. Some one your age should not have the strength to cross such a vast mountain." The guard now regains his composure. "I will however take you to see the Hokage, so no trouble ya here?"
Ameduro gives a sigh of relief. Just as he does so the gates open to allow him entrance into Konoha and at which point he can see the guard who was talking to him from the gates. He is slightly shorter with jet black hair that is spiked in all directions.
Ameduro snorts at the sight of the guard. "Hmm.. to short for a kid my age huh. You're no older (pause and looks him up and down) or taller than I am."
"Hm, yes well I am a trained ninja, you however are a commoner" the guard snapped at him.
Ameduro smirks at the angered guard before him. "Trained huh, so how did you end up as a guard for the gate? Piss to many people off up top?" He points at the guards face "And I thought that ninja's were supposed to be emotion less, or am I just dreaming?"
At this last outburst the guard flares. "I will take you to see the hokage as long as you can keep up with me, and make sure that you show proper respect for the Hokage. Unless you want great punishment."
Ameduro shrugs and follows the guard at break-neck speed to the office of the current Hokage, Sandaime. By the end of the 10 minute it took to get there, Ameduro is panting from the effort of trying to keep up with the speed of the guard. Upon seeing his face the guard laughs.
"You wont become a good ninja unless you can build up your stamina. Good luck withthe Hokage kid, you'll need it." With that, the guard speeds back to his post. However Ameduro takes this chance to finish catching his breath before he enters into the Hokage's office.
"Hello Hokage-sama, I am here to confer with you about becoming a ninja with this village." Ameduro spoke with confidence and collectiveness to the Hokage.
"Really now. Hmm.. Yes but before I can answer that, I must know from whence you came my young pupil. Your name would help too." Sandaime said in his old and raspy voice.
At this Ameduro weakens his resolve for just a moment before gathering it back together. "My name is Ameduro and I come from the country of America, I have crossed the Overdrive mountains to get here because of the supposed rumors of a great ninja village called Konoha. I travel here in hopes that you will accept me into your village and allow me to train."
Sandaime pauses for a moment comsidering the country that Ameduro is from before he sighs and decides to ask his question anyways. "Ameduro, you say that you have crossed the Overdrive mountains and I beleive that as true. I also believe that you come from America as you have said. However I must be sure of where your true loyalties lie. For if I remeber correctly, America is a country in which the enforcers of the law are more corrupt than the common folk, where every day killings and rapings are not even news worthy. How may I trust someone from such a place?"
Ameduro sighs. "Your point is well noted Hokage-sama. Test my trustworthiness as you see fit. Know this however, that no matter what you say I will become a ninja here. I made a promise on my parents grave that I would bring America to peace and justice no matter what the cost, and find the man who murdred my parents. If you still question my loyalty then do with me as you see fit."
Sandaime looks straight into Ameduro's eyes and he can see the passion and truthfulness that he has spoken. Yet he can also see the sorrow that it has brought upon the boy.
With a sigh the Hokage gets up from his chair and walks over to Ameduro. "I guess now that you are a citizen" Sandaime poofs a legal document into his hand and gives it Ameduro. "You must want to meet your new teacher and class mates. I know of one student you might like in particular. His name is Naruto Uzumaki and he would be glad to have you as a friend. Now if you would grab hold of me so I can transport you to your new class, that would be much appreciated. For you see I have much paper work and I am only doing this for a nice relief break." Sandaime said with a large grin on his face.
"Of course Hokage-sama, wouldn't want to have those papers throw a fit from lack of attention." Ameduro replied with a grin that could only match that of the previuosly mentioned Naruto. At that he grabed hold of Sandaime's shoulder and gave a nod to show he was ready, and with a poof they vanished and reappeared in the class room of Naruto Uzumaki.
authors note: This is my first fanfiction and I do accept flamers as long as they are not racist. Keep in mind that I'm only 16 and need alot of work in the writing department. Should I continue with the story?
