Prologue: Fire & Water

"Hey... Hey kid wake up!" "Wha-what?" *BOOM!* Bits of rubble fell from the roof of the dim-lit room."What's going on?" Said Riku feeling a bit dazed. "No time we got to go now!" The ninja pulled him out of the bunker into the Harsh Battlefield. All Riku noticed was the blood-red sky and the shouts and screams of Shinobi all around him. A kunai whizzed only inches from his head. "Follow me!" says the Unknown Ninja as he runs away from the desolation. He finds him again at the edge of the village. "Shouldn't we be defending the Village?" Riku asks with a questioning look on his face. "It would've been in vain... there were thousands of them." "Hey what's your name anyway?" asks Riku. The ninja hesitates for a moment. "Kakashi..."

Chapter 1 : Haburi Attou

"Kakashi... Kakashi Hatake?" "You're the copycat ninja...right?' 'Yes I suppose you could call me that..." The wind rustled the leaves creating an eerie effect. "What now..." asked Riku with an unwavering gaze into the star speckled sky. "Well I suppose we'll have to go west to are allies In the land of wind..." "But thats too far away we'll never make it! "Better than waiting here..." said kakashi with a grim look on his face. "Won't we at the very least need supplies?" There's no nearby allied villages...
"Wait who's attacking us?" "Well... Judging from our recent disputes I would assume it was the country of water." "But why would they attack us?" Riku wondered "They claimed we assassinated one of their leaders heirs... although they have no proof." "It was only a matter of time...
anyways we should go and find any survivors and send a message to the country of wind hopefully they will aid us..." The bushes rustled nearby...


Chapter 2 : Mikomi Nao

"Who's there?" Riku shouts somewhat frightened "He-Help m-m-eee" A bloody ninja crawls out of the foliage. "What the!?!" "H-hel-help me" Kakashi ran up to the wounded ninja. "I think i can heal him..." a few minutes later the ninja is bandaged and somewhat recovered. "So tell us what were you doing out here?" kakashi asks "I was doing my routine patrol when six ninja attacked my squad... I was one of the lucky ones...".
"Did anyone else survive?" Riku asks with much impatience " I'm not sure... I...I was just so scared...I wasn't thin"-He was cut off as a Kunai pierced his back...
