• Chapter 1
    The discovery of a new world
    I ran and ran through the forest gasping for air; the last words that I heard my mother and father speak was, “Run, Nakastumi, run, to the moonlight village!” Burning tears streamed down my face as the trees whooshed past me. My legs threatened to collapse and my lungs were on fire, but I didn’t dare to stop. I knew if I did, the villagers would catch up to me. I didn’t think that this would ever be possible, something like this. I’ve always heard of rumors of ninja’s and stuff, but me a ninja? I never saw this coming. I mean I could jump higher, run faster, and was stronger than the average person. I always questioned why but this was never my answer. Suddenly an arrow whooshed past me scraping my right arm. They were catching up to me but I just couldn’t run any further so I stopped. I saw a beautiful old oak tree that seemed to glow brightly so I sat under it waiting for death. Suddenly a person came up behind me and took me somewhere. I was exhausted so as the stranger carried me, I slowly fell asleep. When I opened my eyes I saw something strange, mysterious even. I was sitting in a chair in a room, surrounded by people in masks, and in front of me was a very young guy. About 21 in a long silver and black robe, with a matching hat. He asked me where I was from and what I was doing in the Moonlight ninja clan’s territory. I blinked and slowly the words just slipped out of my mouth. My story, my life, my everything was all explained to a total stranger. Well except for the part about my parents dieing. I thought that that was something he didn’t need to know.




    Chapter 2
    Ancient Secrets
    “Ah you have told me your story but not your name.” The guy said in a mysterious tone.
    I said quietly “My name is Nakastumi Sorue.” Just as the words slipped past my mouth the guy’s eyes widened, as if I just struck him. “Uh, is something wrong?” I asked.
    “Oh um it’s nothing. I am the Hokage of this village, my name is Takasu Seri.”
    “Why is everybody wearing funny clothes?” I was very confused.
    “Well let’s just say that this is a village of ninja’s and well…” “They’re ninja’s right?!”
    “That’s correct. From this day forward you will be living here with the Moonlight ninja clan and you will be training to become a ninja, and the next Hokage.”
    “Hokage person say what?! Hold on here, I never agreed to become a ninja or the Hokage.”
    “I know it sounds weird but do you have any where to go?” “Not really… my mother and father were killed and they told me to go to the moonlight village. Oh not to mention the angry mob of villagers that are after me. They probably got the word around, so most villages are after me I guess.”
    The room was filled with an eerie silence and than Takasu-kun spoke
    “Did you say your mother and father, Sasuki and Kakiru, were killed?!”
    “Yes, did you know them?”
    “No that’s not possible. They were strong, so very strong indeed. I wouldn’t have even expected them to get injured and killed? That is just not possible, after all they were the Sorue Dragons.”
    “What do you mean they were just human.”
    “No they weren’t just humans… they were the greatest ninja pair who ever lived in this village no, in the world.”

    Chapter 3
    My Job as a ninja
    “Then are you saying that because my parents were the best ninja’s ever that I will be too?”
    “That’s not exactly what I’m saying, what I’m saying is that, if you work hard and believe in yourself, you will defiantly be a great ninja.”
    “And what if I don’t want to be a ninja?”
    “Than what do you want to be?”
    “Um, uh, a… I don’t know. I guess following the path of the ninja is my only choice now isn’t it.”
    “Well…yes. That is true. Than if you become a ninja do you promise to protect this village, justice, and the world from evil with your life?”
    “Yea, yea whatever.”
    “...” “Now as of today, I think you are capable of not going to the academy but I believe that you will be a chunin rank. You will be assigned to Hakatasu’s class.”
    “Um, uh, I think your thinking to big of me.”
    “No, it’s you who will decide your ability level, not me. I’m just giving you a starting point.”
    “Huh…okay.”
    Knock, knock.
    “Enter. Oh it’s Hakatasu. This is Nakastumi Sorue; she will be joining your group.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “Nice to meet you Hakatasu-sensei.”
    “Yes well report to the north gate tomorrow morning at 5 am. No later and no earlier than 5 am. You will not be prohibited to bring anything except any ninja tools you have in your possession. Do I make myself clear? If you make one wrong move, their will be consciences.”
    “Um…a yes sensei.”
    “Please excuse me Hokage-san, but I have some business to take care of.”
    “Very well your dismissed.”
    “Uh, Taka-kun, does he have to be my sensei?”
    “Well I know you think of him as a bit harsh and a bit mean, but I think he will be a great teacher to you, he will really bring out your talents. And after you get to know him, he isn’t all that bad, well not really.”
    “Oh, well if you think it’s best. Now please excuse me but I need to sharpen my weapons for tomorrow. Have a good day.”
    “Very well you may leave. Just try to stay out of trouble.” “Hey what’s that suppose to mean?”
    “Nothing dismissed.”
    “Hey wait hold on… never mind I’m leaving. You’re probably going to infuriate me, no matter what you say.”
    “What was that?”
    “Nothing, I’m leaving.”
