1 Chapter 1 Shapeshifters

~

"The land of fire huh?" A male voice chims up. Casting his eyes behind him. Easily making out th eff two ypung girls following close behind him. With there good chakra control keeping them on the higher elevations up in the trees.

"Yes" one sighs deeply an uncaring expression pacing over her face. Long flocks of blonde hair, flows behind her steadily swaying in the wind as she leaps over to the next couple of tree branches.

"Come on Tatsu" the youngest of the three mutters, her voice gentle. As she rushes through the trees. Her dark eyes partly hooded. "It's not all that bad, where just going to be participated in the chunnin exams"

"I know that, Yuma" Tatsu replies casting her young sister a solemn look. "It's just that, the leaf is a very crowded village, I'd much prefer staying home"

Yuma barely shakes her head at her older sister. Having to sorta agree with her. It wasn't like them to wonder so far from home. And, to a village that was so far from There's at that. It was weird. But she would keep her opinion of that matter to herself.

"This should be considered an honor right? Kazuya" Yuma speaks up once again casting her older brother a side long look. Wanting to try and lighten up the mood.

Kazuya barely shakes his head at her words.

"We where lucky enough to be invited" Kazuya points out calmly. "Its not everyday where invited to go to a hidden village like the leaf, plus we could rebuild our bond with the village, if this all goes well"

Everything falls into a comfortable silence, as the three young ninjas bound swiftly through the tops of the trees. With Yuma, falling onto a lower branch behind her siblings. Keeping her eyes peeled for any signs of enemies.

Tatsu stays up on the higher branches a scowl plastered on her face. It was clear she didn't like the idea of going to the leaf village. But was remaining quite on the matter, for the moment. She would loudly express her feelings later, on the matter however.

Kazuya stays infront, of the group a the picture of calm written on his face. As he leaps to the next branch. His chakra helping him keep his perfect balance on a few of the more slimmer branches. Kazuya new well, that his sister's where not fans of going to the leaf. Though he couldn't understand why? He knew it was for the better. And, aside from that. He would keep them safe no matter what. He would never risk his young sisters getting hurt for nothing.

.....

Another long hour passes bye when the young group of ninjas finally end up standing infront of a huge village gate.

"I didn't think it would be this big" Yuma admits in a hushed voice. Her dark eyes growing big and, round as she follows her siblings through the gates.

Kazuya leading them through the crowds of people as Tatsu sends glares full of daggers at a few people passing by them. Her distaste for the huge village very noticeable. Yuma stays behind her to older siblings gazing over the many small shops as they walk by them. Merchants standing outside the shops loudly shouting out deals to costumers.

"Hi kid" one of them calls to Yuma. Her dark eyes regarding the man cautiously as she stops infront of his small shop. "Want a rabbit?"

Yuma blinks her eyes at the man. As he holds out a fluffy white rabbit with small brown spots covering over its back. Quickly Shaking her head no. That wouldn't be so good for the small creature. Tatsu wasn't a fan of small helpless things and, would kill it.

"No thank you" she responds shyly. While turning to follow after her siblings.

However due to the huge crowds of people. She was actually finding it hard to find them. They almost seemed to have disappeared.

Yuma cuts down a small narrow alley way. Unsure why her siblings would have went into the alley way. Maybe she was just curious? She was always sort of adventures despite her small and, shy personality.

Rounding a corner the young girl keeps walking having cut into another main street though it wasn't as busy. As the last main Street she was on was.

"This place is to big" Yuma sighs randomly, hanging her head in defeat. "I'll never find them"

As she keeps walking with her head towards the ground. A sudden panicky look crosses her face. When she Feels herself trip right over something. Sending her flying forwards. Her head smacking straight into what felt like a huge wall. She falls backwards onto the ground with a small thud. Her dark eyes swirling around dizzily.

"You alright?" An unnoticeable male voice asked down to her.

"O um, yeah" Yuma answers dryly. Her eyes finally able to focus on the tall blonde boy standing infront of her. His big blue eyes where wide as he watches her unsurely.

"I'm sorry" Yuma apologizes quickly. As she jumps to her feet. Causing the boy to step back from her cautiously. Rubbing the back of her head shyly. Yuma looks to the ground. 

"I was not paying attention" she admits honestly. The blonde sends her a smile.

"No worries" he replies. "I'm alright, so anyways who are you? Your not from the leaf village, are you?"

The boy scans the small head band resting round her neck three small wolf claws seemed to slash down the middle of the medal plate.

"My name's Yuma" the girl answers softly. "Me and my two siblings came to take part in the chunnin exams"

"The chunnin exams huh?" the boy repeats in a hushed voice. Seeming to be in deep thought.

Yuma tilts her head to the side. Her eyes rolling with slight concern for the blonde despite not knowing him that well.

"You alright?" She asked concerningly.

"O yeah" he answers urgently. His blue eyes having gotten wide. "I'm just.."

Yuma smiles at him gently.

"I know what you mean" she says with a knowing look coming to her face. "I'm nerves to"

"I'm Naruto" the blonde finally introduces himself, giving her a bright grin. "And, I'm going be the hokage one day believe it!!!"

Yuma smiles up at Naruto her head barely nodding. While she sweat drops.

"That's great Naruto" she replies happily. "I gotta go find my siblings now ok"

"I could help" Naruto suggests happily. Somehow enjoying the girls company. She seemed nice.

Yuma's eyes begin to sparkle as she nods her head.

"Thank you" she soothes gracefully. "That would be wonderful"

Naruto smiles once more before turning to walk on. With Yuma following quickly behind him. Not wanting to get lost again.

.....

"Why is it?" Tatsu starts up an animated vein pulsing on the side of her head. As her anger rises greatly. "Everytime we go to a huge village like this. One of us always seems to end up getting lost"

Kazuya sends his young sister a glance over his shoulder. While still keeping focused on jumping to the next tall building. They had been trying to find Yuma for half an hour now, only to come up empty handed.

"It's not her fault" he defends lightly. As he turns his head back around, hoping to see his younger sister. "We don't usually go to big places like this, I'm not surprised she got lost actually"

"Ok let me say it differently" Tatsu starts hereyes also keeping on look out. "Why is it always Yuma getting lost in places like this? she knows to stay with us, yet everytime she seems to find ways to get herself lost. Im surprised if she wouldn't be in any tr...."

"Found her" Kazuya suddenly interrupts Tatsu's rant. Having spotted Yuma walking around the village with a blonde kid.

"Who's that?" Tatsu grumbles rolling her eyes upwards. Kazuya shrugs his shoulders at her question.

"Seems she made a friend" he smiles caringly. "Come on let's go get her and get to the hokage office, we still have to let him no we made it safelty"

A scowl crosses Tatsu's face as she follows after her brother. Wanting nothing more then to get these exams over with.
