When I got to the bathroom I pulled my hair up into a braid and then into a bun with senbon to hold it before slipping the clothes on. I looked in the mirror and then focused my chakra on my eyes as I closed them before opening them and looking in the mirror shocked at what I saw. My normal pale silver and black eyes were no longer there. Instead they were ruby red with clear white rings in them with six purple tomoes in each eye making me gasp a little and blinked before deactivating them. They were sharingan or byakugan so I have no idea that they are.
"Perhaps I will be researching more than my parents on my trip but for now I need to focus on the leaf until I leave" I said to myself before I bit my finger before grabbing out a scroll and swiping my blood on there before slamming my hand into the floor.
"Summoning jutsu" I said and with a poof my summon appeared.
"Araqid, I have a job for you and your folk" I said and the spider looked at me with his head tilted.
"I want you to go around the leaf village and find out everything that there is to know about it and what is going on in it? Even in the darkest of places. Once you have done that, send me your thoughts through our mind connection, can you do that?" I requested and he nodded.
"Anything for you, Master it's been so long since we have been used so the young ones will be happy to have something to do" Araqid answered before he left in a poof and I headed back to the hospital room.
"So you're going on a journey huh?" Sarutobi asked as he sat next to the bed smoking his pipe.
"Yes Hokage-sama, I wish to go and try and find who my parents are and perhaps why they left me both myself and you have searched Konoha with no results so it seems that I am not from the leaf" I said and he nodded.
"I understand why you want to go and I accept it but know no matter what happens you will always have a place and home here" Sarutobi said standing up.
"A home and place that I will return to once I find the answers I need. I promise you that Hokage-sama" I bowed and he smiled before handing me something, making me blink.
"As Hokage it is my pleasure to present Kuroki with the title of Chunin for his outstanding test results and his willingness to help the village no matter the cost" Sarutobi smiled and I hugged the chunin vest to my front, I hadn't expected to pass the test.
"I promise I will make the village proud" I promised nodding to him.
"I don't know about the village but you have already made this old man very proud of you, Asuma has explained you will be writing each second day. If you wish to inform me of where you are I can send some missions around there for you to earn money" Sarutobi offered and I nodded.
"I will head out first thing tomorrow and I am heading for the mist village but first I will drop by the small villages on the way" I told him and he nodded.
"Good luck on your journey I will not be able to see you off tomorrow, the council wishes to speak about Tsunade" Sarutobi smiled and I nodded as he left, promising to pass some missions on to Asuma.

The next morning I signed out of the hospital and went to my apartment and grabbed the stuff that Shikamaru had packed in scrolls and I headed to the gates seeing Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Asuma there as well as Iruka, Kotetsu and Izumo.
"Hey guys" I smiled before Iruka broke down crying and threw himself on me hugging me tightly sobbing onto my shoulder.
"There, there Iruka-san it's okay don't worry I will be back in three years don't worry" I cheered him up and he nodded sniffling as he drew back drying his eyes.
"I'm going to miss you so much" Ino sobbed, hugging me and crying as well.
"And I will miss you as well little flower but no matter what I will come back to you guys after all you are my family" I said making them smile happily.
"Here me and my parents made this for you, after all you are going to need your strength" Choji said handing me a scroll that would be filled with food no doubt about it and hugging me tightly before pulling back trying to hide the tears.
"Troublesome, you better come back fine and well," Shikamaru said, hugging me.
"Of course after all dying or getting hurt would be a drag" I teased, making him smile a little.
"Here the missions Father talked about, remember you will always be a member of team ten.....I am going to miss you so much" Asuma said, his voice cracking as he hugged me tightly and I chuckled.
"Don't worry Asuma-sensei I am going to come back fine and when I do get back you and Kurenai better be ready to tell me you are getting married" I chuckled making him laugh and blush bright red.
"We will be waiting for your return" Izumo said and I nodded, hugging both of them, making them both break down crying before I turned and left, stopping before I turned and waved to my friends who waved back before I left on my journey, not knowing what awaited me.
