There is a famous legend telling the story of a woman. No one knows her age or what she looks like, since she always has a fox mask on her face. They only knew what to do if one ever came across her. Turn and run the other direction. She had been reported to randomly appear while ninjas are on missions and killed anyone who angered, disrespected, or simply annoyed her. You'll know it's her when the world around you seems to go completely silent and only the sound of wind chimes can be heard. She wore a white, grey, and blue fox mask and is said to have short, blue hair. It's said that she is the most powerful ninja to ever live. She has been come to be known as the Queen of Masks, and she has picked a student. Sakura Haruno is about as normal as you can get (other than the pink hair). She's not from a famous clan, and she doesn't have a powerful demon sealed inside of her. She's not a super genius (but she's pretty smart), and she doesn't have a bloodline trait or Kekkei Genkai to distinguish her from the other ninja around her. Never had she been considered more than a pretty face. What she doesn't know is that despite being seemingly completely normal, she has caught the eye of a very powerful person, changing her life, and the lives of many others.

I was born with a power, a Kekkei Genkai some would say. The power to copy another clan's kekkei genkai and then make it possible to use it to the highest of its abilities, it is rare even in my clan the Chikara's. This power no, this curse known as Kettō no usotsuki. My family sought to use me so I ran. I have run for years never using my real name, copying many kekkei genkai because this curse doesn't have an off switch. I avoid the main villages and train in the forest sometimes I meet rogues that agree to train me for short amounts of time, in truth I am the youngest in the bingo book I was first put in that book at the age of eight, fours years after I started to run. Now I am twelve and wield the unknown blade, crafted by the same man who made the mists swordsman's blades, A silver katana the ice blade as well as twin fans only the greatest opponents deserve to see my blade. I live alone and trust no one. ---------------------------------------------- Best Rank: #45 in naruto (5/6/18)

There are a lot of things you can find in the forest. Some beautiful, and some creepy. In this story, it's both. There is a girl who resides in the forest, near the Hidden Grass Village, and never reveals herself to the outside world. She has always hidden herself just to keep herself safe. However, everyone is after this girl because she is 'special' yet, she has killed many people just to defend herself. This is a mission for squad 7 alone, but when they meets her, something about her is very mysterious. She cries, frowns, and looks lifeless. Why can't she leave the forest? Will team 7 be able to protect her? Follow the Willow Maiden's journey and see what happens. [I OWN NOTHING AND INSPIRED BY THE SONG]
