Cover Story (Slow Updates)

Chapter 1

Nine years ago, directly outside of the gates of Konohagakure, a young girl was found. She was estimated to be one year old. Her hair was blazing red and her eyes emerald green. No one would have ever guessed there was a baby outside of Konoha because she didn't cry, she didn't whine, and she didn't make a noise so you may ask how did they find the girl? Well that's easy... Gai tripped on her.

When Gai found the girl he immediately brought her to the Hokage. The Third Hokage to be exact. The Third knew precisely what to do. He called a meeting for all Jounin and decided that one of them would have to take in the redhead.

Most of the Jounin, that had families of their own, politely declined and asked to go home. The Hokage sent them home with no complaints but secretly he was disappointed. He had wanted the child to have a mother and a father. There was, however, one man with a wife and child at home that stayed and that man was named Shikaku Nara.

Lord Third then proceeded to kindly kick out all the jounin that he felt would not be up to the job until he had six left. The six were Asuma, Kakashi, Kurenai, Shikaku, Anko, and Ibiki. Then the unexpected happened, the redheaded child giggled and pointed and much to the shock of all seven people in the room the person that she was pointing at was Ibiki.

You could practically hear the buzz in the air as the seven's thoughts ran wild but then as calm and collected as always Shikaku stated "Well, I guess there is no reason for me to be here any longer. The child has chosen Ibiki. It's a drag but my wife will kill me if I don't get home soon." He made the hand signs for the teleportation jutsu and disappeared.

One by one, all of the jounin in the room followed his example till three were left. The Hokage then asked "Ibiki, what should the child be named?"

"Kimi Morino." Ibiki said with no hesitation in his voice.

"Then I'll intrust Kimi to you. Dismissed"

However that was nine years ago and now as a ten year old, the little girl stood in the front of the class room by a burnett with a scar running across his nose. Her father was talking to said man in a hushed quick tone. Finally, after a few minutes of relatively awkward silence and seemingly endless stares, the two men finished talking. The older one went to leave but stopped by his daughter and placed his hand lightly on her head and then he was out the door and gone.

Kimi

"My name is Iruka and I guess welcome, even though the graduation exams are tomorrow. Please introduce yourself. And then we will ask questions."

"My name is Kimi Morino." I said in a bored tone. "Questions?"

A pink haired girl's hand shot up. "My name is Sakura and aren't you too young to be in this class? I mean we are all 13 and your...?" I just turned and looked at Iruka and said "Care to answer that Iruka-Sensei?" Iruka just nodded.

"Yeah go sit next to Sasuke and I'll explain. Sasuke raise your hand." A moody looking raven haired boy raised his hand and I slid into the seat next to him as complaints about it being "unfair" that I got to sit by him rang out."Hush! Kimi is 10. She is in this class because she has received special training prior to today that enabled her to pass the placement test with perfect scores. So that means she is ready to graduate and be put on a genin team if she passes the exam tomorrow." Iruka explained to the class.

"But she didn't have to be in the academy forever. That's so not fair. she's just a kid." The blonde one next to Sakura said.

"Well, life's not fair Ino. Yo-" A shinobi bust in saying "Iruka, he painted the Hokage faces."

"Be good I'll be back in a bit." And with that said Iruka left.

As expected the girls in the class all swarmed over to talk to Sasuke so I got up and went to sit by the only girl who was apparently not Sasuke crazed. "Hi what's your name?"

The girl with purplish blue hair glanced up at me with pale creamy eyes and said "It's Hinata. Nice to meet you!"

"Woah, did Hinata really just talk to you without stuttering?" A brown haired boy with a little whit dog said from behind me. Hinata turned red and looked down at the desk again. "H-hey K-k-kiba."

"Yes she did." I turned and faced Kiba. "Now shut up." Kiba's mouth dropped open a bit but before he could reply Iruka walked in and threw a blonde haired boy with blue eyes and whisker marks on the floor and started yelling at him. I kinda zoned out till the whole class groaned. I got up and walked to the front of the class room before anyone else.

"Alright Kimi, you can go first, transformation jutsu please." I just looked at him. I heard someone that sounded suspiciously like Sakura call "Haha she doesn't know how." I turned and glared at the pink blob.

"I do to know how but who do you want me to turn into?" I asked facing Iruka again with my head cocked to the right slightly.

"Oh! That's my fault. Anyone you want, Kimi."he said with a smile I put my hands together in the correct sign and poofed into a replica of Kakashi. "Good job Kimi." Iruka looked down and called "Sakura" but before he could look up I was gone.

Iruka

I heard mutters of "What the heck!", "Go Kimi!", and "She just jumped out the window!" I looked up to see that the window was open and Kimi was gone. "First day and she already is cutting class." I muttered to myself. "oh well there is only 15 minutes left anyway. I hope she passes tomorrow."
