The wind cascaded over the grass with ease almost as if the two were dancing with one another. This was to say the least as their actually was an individual dancing about within the open field. Although it was pretty evident he was in his own little world. His feet moving about the earth with little resistance and with that the few birds that found themselves calling Kumogakure’s sky home would’ve been circling overhead. Amongst this all this young man could be heard singing ♫ “Love is looking over various errors and hate is habitually accelerating terror…” ♬ The wind that found itself washing over the land eventually found itself encircling Chen’s position. His hands revealed to be donning those same gloves his innovative cousin created for him as they snapped through the air. Each passing moment it was as if Chen was in fact having a bout with the surrounding win itself. Each snap of his fist through the air was like that of thunder as they came hurtling through the air. Upon closer examination one could find Chen donning his typical sky blue track jacket adorning its typical cloud motive, amongst this Chen could be seen wearing a pair of black cargo pants with matching boots. Although the pinnacle of his attire as a whole was that distinct pair of black headphones that rested upon his head. Every passing moment his head continued to bob and with that words continued to escape his lips with little hesitation ♪ “Everywhere but the mural, I just wanna be collected when i call god damn, i don’t wanna be accepted; not at all as i am” ♪ Amongst all of his singing Chen was clearly lying in wait for someone or something only time would tell.



As beautiful as the day was, there was a bit of sadness in the hues of the Uchiha girl though hidden behind the guise of a girl from the land of Frost. With the old headband of L’s father tied up in her hair, Kari had placed her arms around the front of her while she walked from the village center. She had to get away from people for a little while. The whole idea of her causing a war within the village if she was found out was beginning to eat at her more than she could have ever imagined. Her eyes of brown were locked on the trampled path that she had taken from the village in hopes that she would be able to forget for a little bit about the things that had happened in the last few weeks. So much had transpired. Her week long journey. A few days of recovery. Nightmares of her terrible experience. The thought of that had caused her body to shudder and her hands grab onto her elbows even harder.. How she hated to even think about it. But then was the reward for all that she had gone through. The one constant thing that still made it all worth it. Her treasure. Her brother. However, she still didn’t enjoy the burden that was constantly carried from constant deception of people. But it had to be done. It truly meant her life if she didn’t. Her life or go back to Konoha and live without her brother once more. Pressing her lips together, she didn’t care for that option either. It seemed that this was the only option for her as she found herself in a field with the wind causing the blades of grass to ripple like waves on the incoming tide. An ocean of green. It was nice to see and caused a truly happy smile to come across her lips. She looked about  and had noticed a tall figure of a male looking as if he was fighting with himself. With her dress of grey and maroon on, she stood there and watched him a moment. Then it hit her ears. The boy was singing as well. How nice. She would have truly enjoyed his company if the pit of her stomach hadn’t been so tight. Her constant fear of the jutsu failing ate at her every moment and she had not tried to even use another while still holding this one. How was she supposed to be a genin of the could if she couldn’t? She was going to have to try at some point. Pressing her lips together, she focused her chocolate brown eyes to the boy and reached her hand down to her leg pouch that held her tools. Only one kunai would be what she needed if it came to that. However, her aim was not to hurt others but just see if she could do it. Still, she wasn’t sure what she would do if her jutsu did fall while fighting. Would she even know? Things were about to get interesting and she didn’t know if this boy would inform the Raikage of her being there. This was going to have to be a chance that she took. If she was going to pull this off, she was going to need more allies than just her brother, L and his father.



Chen’s dancing would’ve eventually come to a stop, his fluid motions coming to an end leaving him facing that very same young woman that found herself stepping into the field with him. Although he wouldn’t take her as a threat at first glance rather his face would’ve lit up with a flourish of red as his eyes grew wider. He soon began to speak but rather loudly “OH MY GOD JUST LOOK AT YOU! SOOO TINY” Chen would’ve chuckled to himself in those moments before his wide eyes narrowed and he turned his attention towards the kunai this young woman had been brandishing. His head soon after went into a brief tilt simply thinking to himself “What could she possibly be thinking of doing with a that, it’s not even like we know each other.. Oh well” A conversation within his head none the less Chen would’ve shrugged it off with the rising and falling of his shoulders. This eventually led to him taking up an offset boxing stance his left arm dropped to about waist level revealing to be bent at near a 90º angle, his right hand would’ve been guarding the side of his face. “You better be planning to kill me with that little lady.” His lips would’ve grown into a smile as he’d simply await her response.



She heard his exclamation of her being so small and wrinkled her nose. She was 11.. What did he expect? However as she continued to look to the male, she couldn’t help but notice things about him that came to her as familiar as her own given name. For starters the red hair was unmistakeable. Remembering back to her academy days, she pressed her lips together as she remembered Jin Uzumaki pulling on her onyx ponytail during class. But that was in the past. Not as much of a distant past as she had thought it was but it felt like forever ago when truly it was only 5 months ago. Closing her eyes a moment, she took a deep breath and centered herself. Gently, she pushed up her sleeve on her left arm and looked to the place that should hold the signs of fading bruising and some horrible scarring. Seeing them still hidden, she placed her sleeve back down and held firmly to the kunai in her right hand. Her chocolate hues looked to him as she heard his words. No, she wasn’t planning on killing anyone. It was for her just incase he came at her with a weapon. If she could block it without leaving a scratch on him at all, she would have done what she intended to do. The goal was not to cause him to bleed, but if it came down to it, then she would. Not a word was said as she looked to him with the wind blowing against her bangs and shooing them from her forehead. Her freckled nose showing in the bright sun while she simply looked to the boy and prepared herself for only a minute more. Focusing chakra to the bottoms of her feet, she rushed at the boy with her hands flowing behind her as if she was once more carrying her katana. Instead was the kunai. Her eyes never left him and she was indeed small compared to him. It only gave her a bit of an advantage when it came to strike zone and agility. She would be able to move around him a bit better and perhaps dodge more efficiently.



A bit of pollen would’ve gotten into Chen’s nose as the young lady that stood before him had finally gone about her way. The moment she’d gotten within striking distance he would’ve let out a thunderous sneeze. In the wake of this his physique would’ve left the ground entirely. It was almost as if he was joking with how high he flew. His physique was now within the sun and had this young woman taken the time to set her eyes upon the sky she’d only find a black splotch plummeting from above. Had this young woman not been paying attention she’d find Chen’s physique falling towards her with his right fist cocked back and ready to strike the earth. However had this young woman not moved at all she’d find herself struck by his fist and in far more pain than any bruise could possibly provide. On the other hand had this young woman managed to dodge she’d find herself in pursuit by that of a shockwave of aggressive wind.



<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes followed him upward towards the light of the sun as she looked through her bangs using them as a shield from the brightness. Not a words was said, but the brown haired child would continue to move. Chakra still flowing to the bottom of her feet, she’d move to just on the other side of where he would come down. Turning quickly with her arms up in front of her and a grimace on her face as she fought to stay upon her feet from the waves that flew through the air and assaulted her, causing her brown hair to fly backwards in a wiping motion due to force. But that was not enough to stop the girl. Though the shock wave was enough to cause her to slide backwards about a foot and a half, her focus was still on him. Quickly, she moved her left sleeve and still the healing wounds were hidden. Good. Not waiting for him to stand, she rushed forward once more. Her bangs being parted and thrown back against the top of her head  while she continued to come at him with arms behind her once more. Within two feet from him, she began a slight spin in the clockwise direction as she jumped up a bit and extended out her right leg causing her to fly through the air with a flying side kick aimed towards the center of his shoulder blades if he had not moved.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">She’d find the moment Chen came to a stand and she’d launched her kick he’d turn his physique to meet her. However rather than her kick landing she’d find that if her perception was keen enough she would’ve seen Chen reaching within his jacket pocket to remove one of the few ninja tools he had. Amongst all of this he had indeed dodged the attack by simply spinning his physique in an opposing direction similar to that of a tango’s twirling motion. In doing this he had the hand that he’d stuck in his pocket now outstretched with a square within his grasp as he aimed to slap this young woman upon her lower back. This wasn’t aimed to do any harm however simply lay the bandage upon her back. Had an onlooker taken a look at the face of the bandage they would find the image of a teddy bear throwing glitter into the air upon it. Had this been successful this young woman would’ve been left with a rather interesting souvenir upon her physique compliments of the shinobi or what have you.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Again her attack was dodged and she simply pressed her lips together. She had to get faster and learn to be more observant than this. Her eyes went wide as she felt the touch of his hand to the lower part of her back. He put something on her. Coming down onto her feet she started to reach behind her while she turned and looked to the male. What was it that he had done? What had he placed in her? She tried to pull her dress about to take a look at it but the sash had kept the dress secure around her so it didn’t move. She was beginning to get flustered with the more she tried to see what it was and try to get it off while keeping the male in the corner of her sight. Not to mention keeping her jutsu up and holding on to the kunai. She was beginning to see that she was going to be needing more work in a lot of areas.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen would’ve begun to snicker to himself slightly covering his mouth a bit to hide it from the young woman that stood before him. He soon after would’ve pointed at his own back to let her know where it was. Even than his laughter was seeping from the hand that’d been covering his mouth. In passing Chen spoke with a smile “It’s almost like a gold star they give the academy students for good behavior.” He pulled out another bandage like object from his jacket pocket and held it up for this young woman to see what’d been placed upon her back. None the less it would’ve come to light that this young woman was using some form of jutsu as the teddy bear that resided on her snap pad had begun animating itself. Reach inside its little stuffed belly and throwing glitter in a repeated animation. This young woman would’ve found whatever jutsu she was using was beginning to fade and grow weaker. Had this jutsu been dispelled Chen’s laughter would’ve stopped and he’d have come over to the young woman and lean down in front of her face to examine her a bit more.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Her eyes began to widen as she began to see the color change of her bangs. “No..! Nonononononono...not now…” She began backing up rapidly. In this panic stricken state, the things that she had been told of came rushing to her mind. She had not come to think about her surroundings while she quickly moved backwards, slipping on a larger rock and falling backwards onto her rear. The fall caused her to lose her breath for a moment while her now glimmering black hues looked up to the male behind a curtain of onyx strands. The freckles on her face were gone to reveal some bruising that was still healing under her eye and along her jaw line. Her hands still held signs of the ugly yellow bruising and she knew that if she looked to her left arm, the healing wound would be there and looking just as bad as everything else on her did. She gripped the kunai tightly and held it up against her chest ready to defend herself if need be. But she could feel the chakra still being taken from her though the jutsu had faded. She watched him come over to her as his laughter had stopped. Taking a deep breath, she could only begin to wonder what would come of her now that someone else knew about her. This was not a good sign.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen would’ve leaned down with his index and middle finger extended only to poke this young woman square in the middle of her forehead. Soon after his face would’ve lit up with a soft smile before he began to speak “You don’t look like you belong here any more than I do” He chuckled softly before flipping his hand over to help the young woman to her feet. “Perhaps you really do need a bandaid” He’d laugh again softly to himself, had this young woman accepted his help he would’ve reached around her physique in order to rip the snap pad he placed on from her clothing.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hikari had sighed softly and closed her eyes once the boy had poked her in the middle of her forehead. “So I was right in thinking you’re an Uzumaki..” Her voice sounded beaten and as if she had lost a long battle. She’d take his hand and allow him to help her up and afterwards have him take off the pad. She felt as if she had failed while she pulled down the edge of her left sleeve. “I need more than a bandaid. But what I need, want and have are all different things.” Her onyx hues looked to him. Her voice now soft, she almost begged him. “Please don’t tell anyone. I could be sent home, imprisoned or shot on site…” Her eyes showed her fear and her bottom lip began to tremble. This young man could very well end everything that she had worked so hard for for so long in a matter of moments.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen simply raised a brow as her lip began to tremble and he’d begin to freak out internally  “Oh man please don’t cry” Although he did give a nod prior to these actions to simply agree with her comment about him being an uzumaki. He soon after began to speak “I’m sure we can do something about that transformation jutsu of yours.” He’d smile and ruffle his own hair briefly before looking down at her.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hikari had looked up to him as he ruffled up his own hair. “Promise me you won’t tell!” Her black marble hues gleamed with scared unshed tears as she pulled her bottom lip into her mouth a moment. A silent moment passed and she felt her stomach begin to tie up in knots. Another moment passed and she felt as if she was going to die if he didn’t answer soon. She then realized that he had already said something about her jutsu. Her eyes widened a bit and she pressed her lips together as she thought. Did this mean that he was going to keep her secret? But why would he do this? Wrapping her arms around her chest, she debated a moment about telling him more than just of her clan. Taking a soft breath, she looked to him and decided to take a chance. “I’m Hikari Uchiha. But I simply go by Kari here. Who are you?”

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen simply poked her forehead once more with the same two fingers as before when she finished yelling. “You don’t have to yell..” He’d leaned down to meet her widened gaze and bite his lower lip a bit pondering on his thoughts. In passing she’d asked his name and with that he’d spoken “You can call me Chen” His eyes would close and his head had gone into that very same tilt as before as he revealed a big smile. At this point he was trying to keep this young woman from crying altogether if she had started crying he would’ve felt horrible.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">With his fingers poking the middle of Hikari’s forehead, her head moved back a bit and she came to be in the same place as she had been before. “Sorry.. “ she said softly as she held her arms around her a bit more. She watched him bite his own lip and wondered if he was trying to copy her at first then realized that it was something that many people did to try and keep their thoughts private. Hearing his name, she gave a nod and continued to look to him with onyx hues. Why was it that she was so scared? She had faced bandits on more than one occasion just to get to Kumogakure. Why was this one person scaring her so badly? He honestly hadn’t even done anything to her minus put a over grown sticker on her back and poked her forehead twice. Granted that over grown sticker sucked her chakra from her, but it did no harm other than that. Tilting her own head, she looked to him while she pressed her lips together. “You had said something about doing something with my jutsu… “ Her fingers played against the fabric of her sleeve. “... How?” She looked behind her and around before she once more looked back to him and waited for him.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">When this young woman found herself asking about his previous comment he would’ve thought back to his cousin. Kiyoshi that very same young man who’d designed his headphones and those gloves he held so dear. His face would’ve lit up almost as if a lightbulb had emerged over his head before he tapped his own chin and began speaking. “My cousin could probably whip you something up to take care of holding that jutsu all the time.”

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hikari looked to Chen a moment and continued to press her lips together. Why was this man so willing to help her? It was a bit on the fishy side to her. Here was a young man that just met her and found out that she was not supposed to be in Kumo. Now he wanted to help her keep her disguise in place even when she was fighting. What was he playing at? “I’m sure that your cousin can do that..” She said with a nod but her eyes still looked to him. Her bottom lip playing against her teeth as she bit down a bit at the skin. “.. however, what would he want to help me for? FOr that case.. What would you wish to help me for? You just met me and I attacked you. For no reason mind you.” Her mind was going a mile a minute and she closed her eyes taking a deep breath before opening them once more and looking to him.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen chuckled a bit to himself at her ‘I attacked you for no reason’ He’d ruffle her hair a bit trying to lighten the mood a bit. “Trust me this is indeed a dog eat dog kinda thing” He smiled a bit more before stretching eventually letting out a soft yawn. “You could always just let me come by when everything's said and done.” Had she taken this request however Chen would’ve waited a moment before his image erupted into a cloud of smoke. This in turn would’ve left this young woman alone in that very same field she’d found chen in.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Thinking a moment more, Hikari just looked to Chen while she went over the pros and cons of what he was proposing. She was in a very dangerous situation at the moment. With her transformation being so shaky, there would be no way for her to be a true shinobi. With a nod, she closed her eyes a moment before opening them once more and looking to the Uzumaki male. “Alright. I’m staying at the house just behind the food shop off the south end of Market street. Both the house and shop are owned by Ryutoka. Ask for Kari and he’ll know it’s me.” After that he was gone. She took another deep breath and let it out silently. Performing the hand seals that she needed to, she once more took on the look of the girl everyone would know as Kari. Another person knew about her origin. That was not a good thing. “Way to keep your own secret, Hikari..” She said to herself as she walked back home. Walking into the shop, she took a handful of homemade candies and popped one in her mouth. Somehow the sweetness wasn’t too over the top and kinda just made her day. She’d walk back into the room she was given and flop back on the bed with her arms out beside her almost waiting to see just what more she could screw up for herself before the day was done.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chen image had gone up and smoke and just like that he was at home with his cousin. In passing he would’ve gone over the circumstance of the situation and Kiyoshi would’ve gone to work. He’d have searched through a bag of a few souvenirs he’d picked up on his own journey before taking Chen under his wing. Kiyoshi would’ve gone as far to bind a sealing method to a pair of earrings. These earrings taking the form of a pair of crescent moons both black in color with a little cat sitting upon it. The seal that Kiyoshi had placed upon these earrings held the transcription for a seemingly long term transformation jutsu. In light of this Chen would’ve been able to help his new found young friend and give her this gift. In time Chen would’ve emerged just outside this young womans window and with a soft knock upon its glass he left the pair of earring on the windowsill. <ac_metadata title="A Wolf in Sheep&#039;s Clothing"> </ac_metadata>
