The next few days, I looked threw files of many children in the village. Many were skilled to graduate from the academy early, some graduated but didn't qualify as a 'team player'. But one cause my attention.

'Name: El, last name unknown
Gender: Female
Appearance: long red hair, blue eyes
Village: unknown
Family: unknown
Rank: unknown
Background: unknown'

"Looks like the Lord Third had a feeling about this one. Enough to let her stay here in the village during the exams without knowing a single thing about her." I smiled.

"Mother. What you doing?" Yuki walked into my room.

"Nothing." I put the files away. "Yuki. I'm going to go out for a while. I'll be back home soon." I smiled, patting her head as I walked past. Leaving the house, I made my way to the Hokage Building. Entering the village archives, I began to search threw everything from a few months ago. 'El? El? El? Where are you?' I glanced threw the files. "Got ya!" I smiled. Looking at the file, I read the neat writing of Lord Third. "Looks like Lord Third gave her a place not far from where Kakashi lives. Hn." I smiled.

Putting the file back, I flashed near the apartment El was staying at. It was at that moment I seen her exit the building. Smiling, I put on my old ANBU mask and followed her. I followed her to the training grounds, only to watch her train. 'I wonder how long it will take her to notice me.' As soon as I thought that, a Kunai came flying towards my hiding spot. 'Not long obviously.' I smiled as I caught the Kunai.

"Who's there!?" She demanded to know, readying another Kunai. Slowly making my way out from my hiding spot, I walked towards her.

"From what I gathered, El. Your no normal 13 year old." I smiled under my mask.

"Who are you?" She questioned, holding her Kunai tightly.

"Someone who want to make you an offer." I took off my mask to smile at her. "And as for who I am. My names Sayuri."

"Sayuri?" She questioned. "Alright then. Now why were you following me?"

"As I said. To make you an offer." I looked at her. "I'm making a team and your gonna be in it."

"Who said I'd join!?" She argued.

"True. But answer me this." I sighed. "Why come here to train if your not a ninja? Unless you were." She seemed taken back by my words. "If you join my team. I'll protect you from what may ever harm you. And you'll be able to put your skills to use." I smiled.

"Hn." She thought about it. "Alright. I'll join."

"Great!" I smiled in joy. "But there's one more thing. I'm gonna need to know some things about you. Just for safety reasons of course."

"I understand." She put her Kunai away.

"Good. How about we start with-" I was cut off when I heard distant running. It was like someone was running in a panic. "What the?" Not thinking, I rushed towards the sound only to find myself at the front gates. "Izumo. Kotetsu. What going on?" I questioned the gate keepers.

"We don't know. This girl showed up then collapsed." Kotetsu gestured the the small crowed.

"All of you! Out of the way!" I pushed past the people, to get to the said girl. Rolling her over, I seen she was like a female version of Kakashi. Snapping out of my fantasy, I checked her vitals to see she was fine.

"Is she ok?" Izumo asked.

"She's fine. She's just exhausted." I replied. "Now all of you get back into the village!" I ordered the surrounding people who shouldn't be here. "Izumo, tell Lady Hokage what happened and that I'm gonna take her in. Kotetsu, you continue to take watch." I instructed.

"Yes!" They replied before rushing off to do as their told. Picking up the Kakashi double, I turned around to seen El standing there.

"Do you always take in strangers like this?" She asked.

"No. But it could be worse." I smiled. "Come on. Follow me." Carrying the poor unconscious girl, I took her home with El following behind. When we got there, Yuki rushed out the front door.

"Mother!!" She cried. "Oh... So it already happened." She noticed the two girls.

"What happened Yuki?" I questioned.

"I had a vision again when you were away. And they were in it." She gestured to the girls.

"Visions?" El looked confused.

"I seen they were going to be my teammates." She smiled in excitement.

"Well that ruined the surprise about making a team." I shook my head, but continued to smile. "Let's go in." Entering the house, I made my way to my room and laid the girl on my bed. Leaving her in there, I made my way into the living room to where El and Yuki were waiting. As I entered, they were busy talking. They were getting along well from my perspective. But looking at El, she reminded me of Kushina. 'I wonder if she could be an Uzumaki?'

"Mother!" Yuki smiled after spotting me.

"El. Why don't you tell us about yourself." I sat down across from the two girls.

"Like what?" She looked at me.

"Well let's just start with this. What's your name, where you come from and how you got here."

"My name is El Kuro-Uzumaki and I came from the Mist." She gained my full attention. "As of how I got here. I traveled." She adverted her gaze.

"I see." I acknowledge. 'So she is an Uzumaki.' "El. Mind if I ask. But where's your-" I went to question her but cut myself off. In the cover of my eyes I seen the Kakashi double. "Your awake." I smiled. Getting up I walked towards her. "Come sit." I lead her towards the lounge.

"Are you alright? You must be exhausted! I'll go fetch you some water." Yuki ran off into the kitchen. Coming back, she gave the girl a glass of water.

"Thank you." She took it cautiously. Although she was hesitant to drink it, Yuki kept smiling lovingly at her. I watched as she let down her mask and took a small sip before slipping it down.

"You must have traveled a long way." I smiled. "Let me introduce ourselves. I'm Sayuri and this is El and Yuki."

"My names Akira." She introduced herself.

"Well then Akira. Why don't you tell us why your here?" I questioned.

"I've been looking for a place to stay." She answered after trying to think of an answer.

"I see." I looked at her. I knew there was more to the story, but I wasn't going to pry it out of her. "Well how about you stay here?" I smiled warmly.

"Ha!?" She gasped in shock.

"But if so I have one condition." I stared at her seriously. "That you become my student." I smiled once more.

"Ah?" She looked between El and Yukiteru in confusion before facing me once more. "Of course." She nodded.

"Great." I clasped my hands in joy. "Now that's sorted." I stood up from my seat. "From this day forward you'll be known as Team Sayuri." I smiled as I looked down on them.
