Third Person's POV

A nine years old girl is panting and sweating all over her body. She has been caught in a genjutsu. The guy who casted it is standing right before her eyes yet she can't see him. Her blood is trickling down from her waist which has been cut deep by a sword. The man from Kirigakure has casted a genjutsu on her. Since, she's not the genjutsu type, she can't break through the illusion.

Suddenly, an ANBU appeared with shuriken thrown over the Kirigakure shinobi's direction. The said ANBU blew out a big fireball and it hits the man perfectly. Making him breaks down to his knee and passed out. The ANBU walked over to the guy he has just knocked out earlier and pulled out his katana. Stabbed it right through the Kirigakure shinobi's heart. To make sure he's dead.

After the man has finally died, the genjutsu is broken and the girl who was panting over an illusion has finally come to her concious. But, before she could say anything, she passed out due to the loss of blood. The ANBU walked over her and carried her to a nearby tree. He looked at her wounds and pulled out his bandage. Wrapping it all around the girl's waist, stopping the blood from coming out. When he finished with the bandage, he stood there staring at the girl. She has a pale face with shoulder length black hair. Just as he is, while his hair is tied into a loose ponytail. The girl sleep peacefully with her breath getting steady as time goes by. Then, the ANBU decided to take a rest beside her.

The girl opened her eyes slowly, she found out it's night already. She looked to her surroundings, looking for her enemy but instead of finding the Kirigakure shinobi, she found a boy, looking as if he's just either 2 or 3 years older than her. Sleeping beside her with his mouth slightly agape, breathing. His black hair strands are on his face. Covering his calm angelic sleeping figure. The girl traces her fingers at the boy's cheek. As if making sure that the boy is real. Not another illusion made by her earlier enemy.

She looked at her waist, wrapped in bandage. It still hurts but not as much as earlier when the bleeding won't stop. She wonders who might done this to her and her mind directly think that it was this boy's doing.

The boy's eyes snapped open, revealing his onyx eyes but suddenly, as he blinked, the deep onyx eyes are changed into a pair of crimson red eyes. The same colour as hers but with the additional symbols in it. The boy stood up quickly, making his ANBU mask to fell over him. It has cracks on it. Not because it fell down from his lap, but because of the earlier battle against a shinobi from another village.

She took the mask and traced her finger along the cracks line. Some kind of black dust filling it and suddenly vanishes the cracks away. The boy stood there in awe as he watched her did that. He has never seen such jutsu before. Not in his village. He would've known if there's such jutsu as the black dust the girl produced earlier. He has learned a whole lot of things. He read a lot of books. He is the child prodigy. He has to know everything in his mind.

The girl looked up to him and grin from ear to ear. "Here you go," she said as she offered the boy his ANBU mask. He took it and put it on to cover his face. "Good as new, right?"

The boy nodded at her, still staring while his mind wander about the earlier jutsu. What was that? He needs to know.

"What was that jutsu earlier?" he finally asked. His curiosity has won over his pride being the child prodigy of his clan.

"what jutsu?" she asked him back. "the black dust that appeared from the tip of your finger. I didn't see you perform any hand signs."

Her eyes lighten as she understood what the boy meant, "I'm not quite sure but the people in my village said it is my Kekkei Genkai. Kuro Dasuto. That's all I know."
