Losing her clan to the power seeking Orochimaru, Kazu Hotoya is plagued with grief and the need to restore her family's honor. However, she doesn't let it consume her as her team mate Sasuke had. She joins the Leaf village ninja academy using her adoptive father's last name to hide from those who would try to "finish the job". Growing older and becoming a successful Leaf ninja in the process, she struggles to pull her village out of the dark and show them that Sasuke Uchiha is nothing but a traitor and shouldn't be trusted - ever.

Sasuke Uchiha had never paid much attention to Kazu other than acknowledging that he was stuck with her on his team as a genin. She had proven herself to be only barely more than useless then. However, it wasn't until Orochimaru really let on to how much he was interested in the girl and her true family that Sasuke was intrigued. Ever since then, she had been a thorn in his side. It wasn't long before she became HIS thorn - soon that morphed into just being his. His what? He didn't know. But she sure as hell was going to stay that way.
