A/N: This is my first fanfic, so if you can, R&R. I don't mind what kind of review either, so go crazy! There will be a NaruAnko pairing, but there is a possibility for others in the future.

Chapter 1

It was as peaceful a day as any in Konoha, birds flying through the blue skies, people walking around without a care in the world. The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was working through the mounds of paperwork she had accumulated for the day when Shizune, her assistant, burst through the office door.

"Tsunade-sama! Anko-san has been spotted outside the northern gates severely wounded!" she gasped, her face was a bit flushed, apparently out of breath from running to relay the message.

"Damn, she must have fallen into a trap while on her scouting mission...and she is not one that gets injured so easily," Tsunade muttered, frowning as the day's mood suddenly soured, "Shizune, send a medic team to take her to the hospital immediately! I will see to her injuries myself."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Shizune quickly ran out of the room in order to accomplish her task.

"Something feels odd about this...," Tsunade thought to herself before hurrying to the hospital.

Meanwhile, at his favorite restaurant in the world, Naruto was feasting on bowl upon bowl of Ichiraku's ramen. After his 15th bowl, Naruto sat back on the stool, sighing contentedly.

"AHH, that was SO GOOD Ichiraku-san!" Naruto exclaimed. Ichiraku simply smiled and said, "I am glad that I have not lost my touch then, especially when it comes to my number one customer!" Naruto simply smiled and paid his bill, waving goodbye to the kind ramen chef. Just as Naruto was walking out of the Ichiraku's, a group of men and women all dressed in white, carrying someone on a stretcher, rushed quickly past him.

Naruto frowned and thought, "Was that a medic team? I have never seen them rush so quickly before, it must be really bad. Maybe I should follow them, if its one of my friends..." He abruptly cut that thought off, not wanting to imagine any of his precious people in a life threatening situation. Quickly leaping from roof to roof, he followed the medic team, determined to make sure that whoever it was, would be alright.

"What happened to me? It's so cold...is this what its like to die? I can't die yet...I haven't killed him yet, I have to get my revenge on the Snake bastard, Orochimaru." A sharp stab of pain in her chest brought Anko back to the living world. Her eyes slowly crept open, then quickly shut again as a painful light shined directly into her eyes. She could hear people scurrying back and forth, obeying commands from a very worried sounding Hokage.

"If I live through this, I swear...I swear...," then Anko quickly lost consciousness once again from the unbearable pain.

A/N: Well, this is the end of the first chapter, sorry it is so short, but it will build up steam soon. Once again, I ask for any type of review/questions or comments. I will try my hardest to continue this story because trust me there will be a relationship, or maybe two, and definitely an appearance from Orochimaru with lots of action too, but that is for another time, later! - Kuldain
