A Cloud in the Leaves

Prologue

Konohagakure:

The Third Raikage stood before the entire Konoha council. He had originally arrived with his bodyguards to establish a treaty with Konoha. That night however he had sent one of his guards to kidnap the Hyuga heiress, Hinata Hyuga. Unfortunately his guard was killed by her father and Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga. Konoha accused Kumogakure of using the entire treaty ordeal as a cover-up to kidnap Hinata and gained the coveted Byakugan. The Raikage, of course, denied the accusation. Now, the Raikage wanted the body of Hiashi in return of the death of his bodyguard, but the Hyuga clan had come forth with evidence proving the kidnapping. Then the third Hokage stood before everyone and spoke.

"Raikage, do you know why your here?" He asked in a serious tone. The Raikage chuckled a bit before responding.

"I'm here on some ridiculous charge." This comment caused many mumbles to be traded between council members. The Hokage stared intently at the Raikage and spoke.

"The charge is all too serious. We have evidence that your bodyguard entered the Hyuga compound without permission, invaded the main household, and kidnapped the Hyuga heiress." The Raikage grinned.

"So, what is this evidence you have?" He said.

The Hokage nodded to screen and then it turned on. The screen then showed the main Hyuga household. The screen started a scene-by-scene showing one of the Raikage's bodyguards sneaking onto the compound and entering the household. Moments later, the Kumo-nin exited the household with an unconscious child in his arms. This piece had quickly turned around the Raikage's plans. The Hokage looked back at the Raikage and said.

"Do you have anything to say?" The Raikage looked at the Hokage with resent and answered.

"This only proves that he did the crime! You cannot accuse my entire village of this act!" He said in anger. The Hokage looked at the Raikage with equal resent and said in a calm tone.

"We can argue about this all night, or I can send the other copies of this video to the rest of the Kages. I'm sure they would love to know what kind of a backstabbing village Kumogakure is." The Raikage looked down and gritted his teeth. If the other villages see this, then they will never trust Kumo again. The village will have to be on constant guard, and they would always be at a disadvantage in war time. The Raikage sighed and looked up at the Hokage.

"Fine. What are your demands?" He asked bitterly.

"Since you have tried to take the heir of the prominent Hyuga clan, we request the heir of the prominent Yotsuki clan. The child will be trained as a Konoha-nin, and will be utilized as such." The Hokage said. Raikage hanged his head in defeat and replied.

"Of course." The Hokage nodded at this and said.

"Good. Now leave the village immediately. We expect the child within two months. Do you understand?" The Hokage ended with a serious tone. The Raikage nodded and exited the room. The Hokage sighed in relief. He was pleased that the matter was handled without battle, but as much as he was relieved, Hiashi was more relieved. If Kumo had gotten what they wanted, the elders of the clan would have given the body of his twin brother, Hizashi, instead of his own. Kami only knew how much pain he had caused his brother and nephew. The Hokage looked over the council members and said. "This meeting is over." Then, they all stood up and left.

Kumogakure one month later:

A little girl with dark skin, red hair, and piercing amber eyes wearing a white kimono with the Yosuki clan symbol on the back, was sitting patiently for her father to arrive. Then, a tall dark skinned man, with brown hair, and the same amber eyes walked into the room. He sat in front of the girl and looked down at her seriously.

"Have you been told why you are here?" The man asked. The girl shook her head and said.

"No, tou-san." The man nodded and replied.

"I see. Let me explain. It seems that the Raikage has failed in his mission to acquire the Byakugan. This failure has completely backfired and has forced Kumo to make a sacrifice." The girl tensed at this. "The Yotsuki clan must offer its heir as a sacrifice." The man continued. " The heir will be trained as of their own shinobi." The girl lowered her predicting what would be said next. " You are to leave Kumo and become a Konoha-nin, Karui." The man said with no emotion. Karui began to feel tears build up in her eyes at this statement.

"Please, tou-san. Don't make me leave. I want to stay with you." Karui pleaded. Her father looked down on her and said.

"Silence. Its your duty to serve the Yotsuki and Kumogakure to your best ability." Karui felt her tears fall down her face. Her father stood up and walked towards the door. Then, he stopped and without looking back at his daughter he said. " You exist only to serve you purpose. Now, your purpose is to become a Konoha-nin. After saying that, you are no longer my daughter." He said this entirely with no emotion. He left the room and heard his daughter cry violently. He walked down the hall and was meet by an elderly man wearing a gray kimono. Which also had the Yotsuki clan symbol on the back.

"I thank you for your sacrifice." The elderly man said. Karui's father made no eexpression and said.

"It's fine clan elder. She knows her purpose." The elder nodded at this. Then, Karui's father walked off.

Konohagakure one month later:

Karui stood before the Hokage in fear. The old Hokage looked down on the girl and smiled.

"Do not be frightened child. Although this may be very frightening for you, I promise you we will make your life here comfortable." He said with a kind tone. Karui nodded and gave a forced smile. " Now, let me introduce you to your guardian." The Hokage continued. Karui nodded and the Hokage looked at the door and said. " You can come in now."

Then, a woman with purple hair brought up into a spikey ponytail wearing a brown overcoat, a mesh bodysuit, a dark orange skirt, and leg guards walked into the room.

"Karui, this is Anko Mitarashi. She will be your guardian."

Flashback-

Anko stood in front of the Hokage in shock.

"You want me to do what?" She asked. The Hokage sighed and said.

"I want you to take care of the Yotsuki heir." Anko was completely brought back by this. She drank, acted childish, and messed with to many people. She was in no way a parental figure to any child.

"Hokage-sama, you can't expect me to take care of a kid. I'm not suited for this, and doesn't a clan usually take the kid in these situations?" Anko complained.

"I need someone I can trust completely to watch over the child. This is also good for you, Anko. Maybe taking care of this child will cause you to mature." The Hokage said. Anko raised an eyebrow and thought.

'So that's his game, eh?' She sighed and said.

"Fine. When is the kid getting here?"

"In about two weeks. I suggest you prepare your home and learn how to make something besides miso soup and dango." The Hokage said. Anko huffed and dropped her head.

'There goes my life.' She thought.

End Flashback-

Anko walked up to Karui and frowned at her. Karui looked up at the older woman and said.

"Hello." She said meekly. Anko looked down at the cowardice girl and squinted.

"What? Do I look scary?" Anko said with a annoyance. Karui tensed at that last comment.

'Don't no why she's so nervous. I'm the one who has to take care of her.' Anko though. After more consideration, she thought. 'Guess you do have something to be nervous about kid.'

"Try not to be so blunt with the girl." The Hokage said. Anko nodded and looked back at the girl and began to list her rules.

"Okay kid, Rule 1: I'm just watching you. Therefore you will not call me Anko-nee. Rule 2: The only one who gets to mess up my place is me. So you better not go throwing crap all around. Rule 3: Stay out of my way. Especially when I'm drinking or eating dango. Do you understand this?" Karui squinted her eyes, looked to the side, and said.

"Got it, jerk." Saying the last part in a hushed toned.

"What was that?" Anko snapped. Karui looked up at her and said.

"Nothing." The Hokage smiled a bit at the spectacle and said.

"Well, you should start showing her around the village, Anko." Anko groaned and said to Karui.

"Come on kid." Then she turned around and walked out of the office with Karui trailing behind. Once they left, the Hokage stood up and looked out the window.

'This is either a good idea, or an extremely bad idea.' He thought to himself. He watched Anko and Karui leave with Anko yelling complaints and Karui showing a slightly annoyed expression. Hiruzen sighed and said.

"Probably the second."
