Prologue - Her return

A lone figure stumbled along the road that led to the hidden leaf village, a trail of blood followed in their wake. The figure wore black sandals and a black short sleeved coat with white flames licking at the bottom. The figure also had long, dark brown hair with a fringe covering the top right hand side of the ANBU mask which the stranger wore. The mask looked like the face of a black dragon; blood was slowly trickling out of the masks visible eye-hole. A gloved hand was clutching their wounded stomach; the bandages that trailed up that arm were tattered and blood-soaked. The ANBU assassin's other arm had multiple gashes torn through a fish net located on their upper arm and tightly gripped a damaged kunai as if the world would end if they let go of it. The ninja weakly grunted in pain and relief as the gates into Konohagakure neared; the assassin was on their last legs and they knew it.
Two voices floated from within the gate and as soon as the figure entered, the voices abruptly stopped. The assassin inclined their head towards the two chunin, who were guarding the gates. Both of their mouths were agape.

"I-I bring news from the north." A hoarse yet feminine voice struggled to inform the ninja, before crumpling onto the ground.

The two ninja stared at the unconscious form in front of them.

"Umm... Kotetsu," one ninja asked, "is that who I think it is?"

"Yes," was Kotetsu's stunned reply, "yes I think so."
The prior ninja leapt to his feet.
"We must get her to the hospital, fast!" He dashed over to the bleeding assassin and hauled her up with one arm behind her neck, and the other in the then leapt hurriedly, but carefully, in the direction of the hospital leaving his stunned partner behind. This was not how he planned his morning.

'Man, if I let her die, the Hokage will have my head!' This thought alone was enough to make him pick up speed a little until he was a blur. The ninja was so caught up in his panic that he almost crashed into a blond kid wearing an orange jumpsuit. "Watch it kid!" He yelled, but the boy apparently hadn't heard him.
A barely audible sigh escaped his lips as he finally arrived at the hospital; his chest was soaked with the ANBU's blood.

"Help!" He called out, "I need help here!" A nurse gasped nearby and rushed over to help along with a few medic ninja.
"How'd this happen?" One medic asked as they placed the girl onto a nearby stretcher, removing the coat in the process.

"I don't know," He replied, "She collapsed at the gates."

"Do you know this person then?" The medic inquired.

"Not personally, no," He answered irritated, "why'd you ask that?"

"How would you know the gender if you don't know the person?"

The ninja wiped his hand across his face, "one, her ANBU tattoo is on her right arm and two, I have heard rumours about her Kekki Genki."

"And what might those rumours be?" Questioned the curious medic.

"Great, now I have to report this to the Hokage." Sighed the ninja, who completely ignored the medic. He stayed for a few minutes longer before exiting the building.

The ninja knocked loudly on the Hokage's door. "Come in." An old-sounding voice floated through the closed wooden panel. As he opened the door the Hokage and the Jounin surrounding him had widened eyes as they gazed upon the blood that stained the chunin's chest.
