Chapter 1 – Journal 1

Mark, Courtney, I'm sorry for leaving you hanging there. I'm writing this journal in the mysterious place called Konoha. Let me start where I left you.

I ran down the street toward the Sherwood house, after Andy Mitchell. As I got to the brick wall bordering the house, I slowed down. I carefully climbed the wall and looked over the other side, surveying the ground. No quigs in sight.

I hopped off the wall and rushed to the front door, not taking any chances in case I overlooked a quig hiding in the shadows. I walked through the front door and slowly made my way to the basement steps.

The house was eerily quiet. With every step I made, the house creaked loudly. I finally made it to the basement, so I made my way over to the flume entrance. I opened the door hurriedly, only to find Andy standing in the light of the flume, smirking widely at me.

"Let the games begin, Pendragon." Andy said, as he transformed back into Saint Dane. The flume engulfed him and in a flash, all was silent. I calmly walked over to the entrance and stared into the darkness.

Konoha… That's where Saint Dane said he was going. I frowned slightly, not liking the fact that I had to leave again. I took a deep breath and faced the flume entrance.

"Konoha!" I shouted. The flume activated and I waited for it to engulf me. The flume ride was as boring as ever, and I had a lot of time to think. Before I knew it, the sweet notes began to sing even louder, signaling the end of the ride.

I landed on my feet softly and waited for my eyes to adjust in the darkness. I was in a cave, and looking around, there didn't seem to be much to it. I saw a pile of clothes close to the exit, so I walked over to investigate.

I pulled out what looked to be dark blue shorts. I set them aside and looked at what else there was. There was a high-collared black t-shirt and some dark blue sandals. I blushed deeply as I spotted some dark blue boxers and dark blue panties. I quickly picked up the boxers and changed into the clothes when I noticed some other things on the ground.

I picked up a strip of cloth with a metal plate attached to the center. In the middle of the metal plate there was a weird swirl design. It looked like a headband, so I tied it to my forehead. It seemed to fit. On the ground was some bandages, a small pouch, and a backpack looking thing. I picked the small pouch up and inspected it. The pouch looked like it could fit on my leg. I opened it and my eyes widened. Inside was about ten sharp knife things, ten ninja stars (A/N: which are called shuriken, but he doesn't know that.), and a few dark colored clay balls. I tied the pouch on my right leg and winced.

"Ow. Geez, it digs into the skin… oh, so that's what the bandages are for." I said to myself, feeling a bit stupid. I took the pouch off, tied the bandages around my right leg, and then put the pouch back on.

I opened the backpack and blinked. There were a bunch of scrolls inside. I opened one cautiously and saw it was blank. I shook my head and put the pack on my back. I looked at the sandals and slipped them on. There was a strap that wrapped around my heel, so the sandal stayed securely in place.

"Huh… These are really comfortable." I say, a bit surprised when I stood up. I calmly walked out of the cave and looked around at the scenery. I was surrounded by high trees. In front of me was a small dirt path. I shrugged a bit and followed the path. After a couple minutes of walking, the path broke off in two ways.

I looked to the right and saw a desert in the distance. I looked to the left and saw more trees. I decided to go left. I mean seriously, who wants to get lost in a desert?After about 30 more minutes of walking, I saw a gate in the distance. Past the gate was a village. Maybe I'm in the right place after all. I walk toward the gate and two guards stop me.

"Halt! Who are- Oh? A shinobi? I've never seen you before." The guard on the left said to me, relaxing his defensive stance a bit. The guard on the right, however, didn't relax one bit.

"What is your purpose here? Why are you wearing our symbol?" The guard asked, highly suspicious. I start to panic.

"I need to speak with your leader." I state, but it sounds more like a question. The guard on the right relaxed a bit, but only just.

"Hoshi-san, take him to Hokage-sama. I'll stand guard." The right guard said. The left guard, Hoshi, nodded and I followed him into town.

"Don't mind Shigure-kun, he's just not particular to strangers." Hoshi says cheerfully, as we walked through the streets. I nodded absent mindedly as I looked around the village. Everyone was dressed in a modern, yet old Japanese style. It didn't look like this territory was that advanced.

"Here we are!" Hoshi declared as we stopped a large building in the center of the village.

"Thank you… Hoshi" I say quietly and Hoshi grinned at me.

"No honorifics? Heh, you'll get in trouble quickly with that attitude. -grins- but I don't mind! See you later…. What was your name again?" Hoshi looked at me and I hesitated.

"Pendragon." I said after a minute. Hoshi grinned again.

"Alright then, Pendragon-san. I'll see you later." He waved and walked back the way he came. I looked at the building in front of me and walked inside.

Inside was a small lobby. There was a desk a few feet to the left and a middle-aged short brown haired woman looked up from the computer on her desk.

'Wait, a computer? Wow, this territory is more advanced then I thought…' I thought to myself.

"Can I help you?" the secretary asked politely. I shifted awkwardly.

"Um, I need to see the Hokage…" I said. The secretary brightened a bit.

"Tsunade-sama? I'll take you to her. Maybe now she'll work a little." The secretary stood and walked up the stairs at the end of the room. I followed quietly and soon found myself in front of two double doors. The secretary knocked on one and slowly opened it.

"Tsunade-sama? A shinobi is here to see you." She states. A woman's voice says from inside the room: "Fine, send him in." The secretary smiled a bit at me and gestured for me to enter. I nodded to her and she walked back down the stairs.

I entered the room and saw a middle-aged blond with the biggest- I hate to admit it- bust I've ever seen. The woman looked me up and down then sighed.

"Alright, you're not one of my shinobi. Who are you, and what do you want?" She said, looking at me with a hard stare. Uh-oh. I'm in trouble.
