THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED, PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER WHY ISN'T THERE MORE FOR DETAILS!!! Taint is a dangerous poison. Once it begins, it spreads without limit. It will swallow everything in its path if it is not stopped. Such as all poisons, taint begins somewhere. Uchiha Sasaui only wanted to become a great Konoha kunoichi and make her family proud. Mokushi Hikaru fought to simply feel what her own heart told her. Shoutai Taro struggled to become who others demanded he be. Heijin Megumi fell only to find how hard it was to climb back up. No one knew just what the taint had planned for their own paths. *prequel stories to Tainted Guardian* *thank you Artic_Sky for the cover*

THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED! PLEASE SEE THE CHAPTER LABELED WHY ISN'T THERE MORE!!!! It was such a simple act of kindness that changed his entire life around. Once it was evident he had the Will of Fire, though, a life he could never imagine began. Ryu Sarutobi was the "adopted grandson" of Hiruzen Sarutobi. All people knew of him was he appeared out of nowhere with the Hokage's words backing him. As well as who they saw him become. He was a boy with a strange worry over a yin-yang ring he wore. He was a boy who gave his everything to protect the village. He was a boy who had a fire raging within him. He was a boy with a great light that could pierce the darkness. All people had to do was look. But he was also a boy who was cursed. And that curse would do anything to devour his light. *new cover done by TheInfinityofMaybe*

The Sarutobi clan, a significant clan which resides in Konohagakure since its creation. During the long years it produced several notable members, each one which held positions of high authorities, starting with crowned ANBUs, and Squad captains and leading to The Twelve Guardian Ninjas and Hokage. Although each held different opinions and philosophy of life; all the Sarutobi clan top members where and until now are devotees of the Will of Fire. All which are male. Emiko Sarutobi, a young girl which dreams of becoming a distinguished and famous ninja, almost has everything one would wish for, great health, loving family, lots of friends, and the list continuous. All except for one thing, a reputation that wasn't built depending on family statues. She no longer wanted to be the honorable granddaughter or to be the daughter of a renowned ninja, but what she wanted was to be known and acknowledged for what she truly is and by her own name. And in order to do that she had to become a ninja greater than her grandfather and become Hokage.
