Otherwise, enjoy this little relic from the past! * * * * * Kiri is the middle child of a family once strong but now fallen apart. Her father had left on a mission and never returned, leaving her to take care of the farm. Her mother favoured the other two children and was always pinning things on Kiri. Kiri's younger sister was a brat and her seventeen year old brother is a soon-to-be ANBU Black Op, becoming very quiet and reserved. Kiri is top of her class in everything at the Academy, even surpassing Uchiha Sasuke. When her Academy marks start going down for unknown reasons, her teacher Iruka starts beooming concerned and things about Kiri start to change...
