Chapter 1: Entering Konoha

"NOO!"
Kimi screamed after she heard of her best friend's death. Out of everyone, why Luna? Why? She was only six years old when she heard this news. The ninja who brought the news quietly close the door and left Kimi as she collapsed to the ground and cried, reminiscing the good times with her best friend. Her best friend Luna was the only friend Kimi has ever had. Now that she's gone, Kimi is all alone again. I swear I will find whoever did this to you and make him pay. Sumbate Kimi did not have a warm childhood like many other children. Her parents abandoned her at a very young age because she is a jinchuriki, the possessor of the 18-tailed demon. Because of this demon, she is often very lonely. No other children will come close to her for they are scared of what she might do to them. This led to Kimi's being quiet and conservative. Her only companion was her best friend Luna, who happened to notice Kimi on the side lines. Now that Luna is gone, Kimi works very hard in everything she does, hoping one day she will take the life of the murderer that took Luna's.

7 years has passed since Luna's death and Kimi is currently 13 years old. She is traveling along a route in the Land of Fire, when suddenly a kunai pierces through her right arm from behind. The sudden pain runs through her entire right arm as she cries out in agony. Agh! What just? She did not know where the kunai came from nor does cares either. Her attention is entirely focused on her bleeding wound. She runs as fast as she could to the closest village she could find, holding on to her wound to slow the blood flow. As she runs, she feels the slowly pain running up her arm. Crap! That kunai was poisoned! I have to find a place to rest! She passes through the enormous doors and into the village. There are people walking everywhere, busy with their own business. She randomly chooses a path and runs, hoping it lead to a small resting place. An old man in a white and red robe crosses Kimi's path. Kimi bumps into him and collapses into the old man's arms.

"Ah! Excuse me," whisperes Kimi, as she quickly moves aside and continue her path. The old man quickly grasps Kimi and move in front of his view.

"Young girl, you're injured! Quickly, I'll take you to the hospital!" the old man cries out.

"No! I'm really fine! Really!" Kimi insists.

"A young girl like you should not be wondering with such a wound! I'm taking you to the hospital!" After saying that, the old man lifts Kimi's injured up and leads her to a nearby hospital. Old man, I am fine! Then again, at least he's taking me to some place I can rest for a while. He places Kimi onto a hospital bed and calls for a medic.

"That won't be necessary!" Kimi quickly cries out. She forces chakra into her left hand which is later surrounded by a blue aura. She places her left hand over her wound and slowly draws the poison out. Ack…slowly… The poison slowly pours out of the wound and attracts to the blue aura, as Kimi drags it to a nearby waste basket.

"See. I'm all right. I can heal myself," Kimi speaks proudly.

"Well… Then I'm glad you can take care of yourself," the old man smiles. "What is a young girl like you wondering around the village with such an injury? Where are your parents?"

"I have no parents. I'm an orphan and can I leave now?"

"Well, you are currently in very good condition. I guess it is okay for you to leave now. But where did you come from? What is your name? I don't really see you around here."
Kimi goes silent. She doesn't usually speak of her own history mostly because she's afraid that the other person will change his opinion and shun her.

"My name is Hiruzen Sarutobi. I am the hokage of this village. Don't worry. I won't judge, I promise," Sarutobi gives a promising smile. Hearing this, Kimi lets out a sigh.

"My name is Sumbate Kimi. I am an orphan with no guardian so I don't have a home. I just travel around from place to place. I happened to traveled nearby when a poisoned kunai struck me from behind. I don't know where it came from or who had done it so I just ran to the nearest town which happens to be here."

"I see. In that case, you are welcome to stay in Konoha. However, you will have to find a place to stay by yourself. For now, you can rest in this hospital but you will have to leave here soon." Sarutobi gets up and walks towards the front door. At the last minute, he turns around and says "By the way, don't worry about the payment for the hospital. I'll cover it this time."Kimi thanked Sarutobi before he leaves the room. She takes a deep breath and let out a big sigh once more. What a nice old man. As she stares out the window, she sees the birds flying by and several people jumping on roofs. Those are ninjas! I wish I can be one of them so I can find the man that murdered my Luna. But for now that will have to wait. After a minute of rest, Kimi gets up and opens the window. She climbs out and jumps to the ground. Now I have to find another place. The bright sunlight bursts into her eyes. Kimi squints her eyes until they adjusted to the sunlight. Then she starts off on her way. As she walks along her path around Konoha, she wonders where she can stay. I can't stay in a hotel. It's too pricey. Maybe an inn is better but I still don't have that much money. What to do? The confusion and frustration cause Kimi to have a headache. She doesn't want to think anymore. She speeds up her walking until she sees a lake nearby. Seeing how the lake is so peaceful with its deep blue color being Kimi's favorite, she decides to sit beside to the lake to calm down. Kimi trots down to the lakeside and sit with the sun behind her. The breeze blows through her hair and the birds whistle into her ears. All trouble seems to stop and settle. This is more like it.

With all the peacefulness and no one around, Kimi decides to practice on her secret ability, the sharingan. Kimi doesn't know how she got it or when she ever was able to use it. She is not sure if her parents had it, seeing that they abandoned her in the first place. All she knows is that she is able to use it since ever! Kimi activates her sharingan and looks into her own reflection on the lake. The irises of her eyes are now bloodshot red with a black ring in the middle and three dots trailing the ring. She looks up and glances at her surroundings. Every single detail is very clear to her. She can see the moss on the rocks near the lakeside, the flies in the air, and even the pollen in the flowers nearby. She can see and admire every beauty of nature.
Suddenly a voice screamed from behind the trees.

"You're an Uchiha?"
