On a tree branch next to a clearing meant for training, I stood there with my right hand upon the ruff tree bark. The Third Hokage standing next to me his long white and red Hokage robes fluttering in the wind, staring down at two young girls who were sparring against each other. Though what was strange was the black haired girl had on a blindfold; mainly defending and dodging the attacks of the blonde. "So, these are the girls you were telling me about, Lord Hokage? The ones that will be in my class?" I speak quietly to the third who nods and gives a sound of confirmation.

"Yes, it wasn't that long ago these girls had suddenly showed up in our village. Though it looks like Aphrodite the blonde is actually teaching the other, when it was Kira that was trying to protect Aphrodite."

"I see. So you wish for me to keep an eye on their progress Lord Hokage?"

"Yes, they are clearly hiding something. What it is they are hiding is unclear to me."

"But, Lord Hokage. They look like normal girls who are trying their best just like any other child." I look from the girls to the man next to me in confusion.

"They may be, though they are far more mature then any normal child their age. At first it seemed like they were normal innocent children but it seems they have gotten more control of themselves. Tell me Iruka. What do you see when you watch them? Their expressions, the look in their eyes, their movements."

Looking back towards the children I watch them closely. First the blonde has a small smile appear on her features just before landing a kick on the other sending her into the air with strength she shouldn't yet possess in her small form. Her tai-jutsu though flawless was well beyond her age. Most children just coming into the academy do not fight like that nor... do they smile when landing a blow on someone else. They are usually nervous and unsure of themselves even rather unwilling to attempt hurting another. Her blue eyes shine in the sunlight with innocence and warmth counter acting her physical actions which were smooth and well timed, as if she has trained like this for more years then possible.

The black haired girl landed on the ground silently by planting her hands on the grass below her and swinging her legs around so she was now standing, as if that kick had in fact done nothing to her. Raising her hands she pulls off the blindfold along with a shake of her hair making the tendrils fall back into place after having been mussed by the fabric of the blindfold. No emotion betraying her features, her charcoal eyes cold and knowing. She wasn't as skilled as the other yet but, who knows what could have happened to her to cause her heart to ice over like that. She has clearly seen more violence and bloodshed then any other kid in the village.

"The blonde has had an extended time of training in her tai-jutsu. The black haired girl though is still a bit ruff around the edges is learning quickly from her counterpart. Yet, where the blond still has light twinkling her eyes, the other has been through so much more. I would have to say even though they are similar they had a far different upbringing then one another."

"hn. Yes. I think so too. They still do not trust me enough to give me more information about where they come from other then it being completely different then here. I feel however, that danger will be coming for them and, they need a true parental figure. Since it is quite possible that they haven't had much experience with family beyond contact with each other."
