As i arrived at the gates of the village, i now knew as Konoha, I was stopped by two guards. "Halt! stop there, state your name and purpose for being here." A guard with a bandage on his nose called out. The other one came forward, tense i could tell. I slowly blinked, looking from one to the other. " I am here on official business, Allow me entrance." came out my monotone voice. They looked a little surprised at my lack of answers and demand. One scowled. "If you do not cooperate with us we will have to detain you." This was getting nowhere. I sighed feeling more uninterested with this obstacle i had come across. i took a step forward, causing the guards to become defensive. As i took another step, i was gone. The last thing i saw was the look of surprise on their faces as i disappeared from their view.

I took to the rooftops swiftly, reaching what i assumed was where the hokage was, quickly. Entering the building i searched for the largest amount of chakra, which was located at the top of the tower. I followed it until i was standing in front of two large doors. I could hear yelling on the other side of it.

"You just don't get it do you!" i heard the voice of a man, seemingly fairly young. around his mid twenties or so. "I don't care! I want a real mission old man! Believe it! I'm a ninja now and i deserve something real. not all this crap like babysitting and pulling weeds!" Another voice, younger this time, a child, i assumed. Everything went silent. After a few seconds,"Fine, you want a real mission. ill give you one. This is a C-ranked mission. You are to escort someone back to their home land." An older voice said. I assumed the last one was the hokage. "Yes yes yes! believe it! who is it!? a princess?! a lord?!" The young voice screamed. I heard a cough behind me. Looking over my shoulder my eyes landed on an old man who appeared to be drunk. From the conversation i heard i assume this was who they we supposed to escort. I moved aside when i heard the words enter come from inside the room. I nodded to the man as he gave a grumble and walked through the door. His words nothing but slurs,"I am the master bridge builder Tazuna. and you will escort me back home so i can finish the construction of the bridge." I heard grunts of disapproval. "What, is he drunk?" A feminine voice whispered.

I peered into the room. There were six people in the room. minus the man who had just entered. There were two at a table in the front of the room. One who i could now tell was the hokage, and the other a ninja. similar to the ones i saw at the gate. At the other end of the room were three children, younger ninja it appeared and another older ninja who looked to be their teacher. "are you guys really ninja?" the man, Tazuna, interrupted my examination. " especially the little short punk over there?" His words slurred together. i almost couldn't understand him. The young ninja with blonde hair laughed about the short punk, until he realized it was he who was the one Tazuna was talking about. "why you! I'm gonna pulverize you!" He yelled out. The teacher held him back "Ma ma Naruto, you can't pulverize the mission." He laughed out. I shifted from one leg to the other. I was getting tired of waiting. Tazuna looked back at me and then to the hokage. "Hey, is this chick one of yours?" He asked as he stumbled out of my view. I could see the hokage clearly now. The younger man at the table scowled a little in confusion. The hokage smiled. "And what can i do for you miss?" He asked politely. I walked in the room. disregarding the questions from the younger ninja. I walked up to the table and handed the scroll, my brother gave me, to him. He nodded and opened the scroll. Looking over it he smiled. Nodding his head he looked to me."very well," He started," As an entrance exam to this village, i would like you to go with team 7 on their mission." He continued, pointing to the people behind me. "If you are successful and provide clearance that you are of no danger to us. you may stay on their team and live in the village for however long you need." Smiling at me he handed me a clothe with a metal piece attached to it. on it was the village symbol. I shook my head at it. "I can not accept this. It goes against my clan teachings." He smiled again, nodding his head" very well. now, how about you all head out. it's about time for you to be leaving." He said waving his hands in a motion that told me he wanted everyone gone. "Could you stay for a few minutes please" He said making me halt in my movements. I nodded to him again. turning to see the rest of them leaving. The teacher turned to me and told me to meet them at the front gates in an hour. I nodded in understanding and with that he left.

As the door closed i turned to the hokage. "now then, your name is Faust correct?" I blinked in recognition of my name. He nodded. "when you get back i will have living arrangements made for you." he said. The younger man gasped." But hokage sama! we don't know if we can trust her yet!" he yelled out. He obviously didn't trust me, i didn't expect him to either. A stranger wielding two katanas, had hardly said a single word since they walked in, giving a strange scroll that only the hokage knows what it says. I wouldn't trust me either. But i also have tons of other reasons not to be trusted. The Hokage cough a little."Do no worry Iruka. She is trust worthy, i have no doubt about that." I dont know what this old man knows. but he seems to know something. I didnt have a reason to care though. As long as i could go on with my mission. I did not care. He looked at me, continuing the conversation. " When you get back, come to me and we will fill out some papers, so you wont have to worry about people thinking you're an intruder or anything." He smiled nodding to himself. I assumed he was talking about the guards. It doesn't surprise me that he knew about that. I nodded again, bowing in the process. Turning to take my leave i say a quiet "Thank you" and exit the room.
