Angel of The Hidden Leaf

Chapter 1: The Girl Who Fell From The Sky



For a moment, I felt myself floating in a dark void. Endless darkness with only dots of light here and there surrounding me from every corner of the place. But even though it's dark, I can see my cream white hand glowing when I held it out in front of my face.

Then I looked at my body. So far, nothing has changed. I still have the appearance of a 12 years old girl wearing a white and grey mini trench coat. I can feel something inside my pocket and some sort of power coursing through my body.

For once, the creator prepared me with power and gifts. He never does that, I shudder to think what kind of world he is going to send me to now. How dangerous is the place, how bleak and desperate is my fate there.

I put my hand into my pocket and pulled out a pocket mirror. I admired myself for a moment. My bright yellow eyes are still the same as ever but the headphones above my short white hair are nowhere to be seen.

Then I flipped the mirror and saw a sentence written behind it. 'Come talk to us whenever you want. The Password is Harmony'. I smiled a little after reading that; looks like he still gave me some contact with my old friends back in that world.

After floating for a while, a giant portal slowly come in view. I found myself slowly floating towards it and the world starts spinning around me. A tingling sensation slowly filled my body and I know that soon enough, I'm gonna be part of another world.

I just hoped that the creator isn't gonna drop me off in the middle of nowhere. Really annoying when that happens. Especially when the middle of nowhere equals the middle of the ocean. You have no idea what kind of BS I have to get through just to get out of there.

Soon, I can feel myself lying on top of cushion. I hoped that this is a hospital bed so I can lie, trick, and con my way to the nearest orphanage.

After a while, I started to regain my senses. I can hear whisperings and mutterings coming from all around me. Judging by the voice, they all sounded like children almost the same age as me. Am I in an orphanage?

I blearily opened my eyes and found myself lying on a ground with some sort of a cushion below me. All around me are little kids with different clothing surrounding me in curiosity. "Are you all right?" A voice came from my left.

With sharp breath I sat up from my position. "Could've been better..." I muttered to myself. I looked to the left and saw a young man with noticeable scar on his nose looking at me in concern. "What happened to me? Did I fell out of the sky again?"

The man narrowed his eyes and I felt like I just said something really wrong. "Yes, you fell out of the sky. I suppose you know what happened?" He asked me.

I looked around for a moment before answering. Judging by my location, I seem to be standing in the middle of a training ground. A military training ground to be exact, with all the targets and the obstacle course in the distance.

Then I looked at the children. For one, they have a colorful hair. I mean seriously, one of the girls has pink hair. I don't know if she painted it or if it's natural but that is definitely not normal.

"To be completely honest, I have no idea where I'll end up after entering that portal." I gave myself a pat in the back for that smooth white lie. "I don't even know why I'm here..." I put my hand on my head for a dramatic effect. "Ugh... Can you tell me where I end up?"

Instead of the man, a blonde haired boy wearing a very bright orange coat answered my question. "You're in Konoha Ninja Academy! Where we all train to become the greatest ninja ever, believe it!!!" He exclaimed with a barely restrained excitement.

The man just barely managed to stop himself from face palming. "Naruto... A ninja do not reveal their secrets to some unknown figure." He muttered patiently.

Naruto meanwhile doesn't seem to get what he's trying to say. "What are you saying Iruka Sensei? Everybody knows that this is the Academy. You mean I shouldn't tell the traveling merchant that the Hokage Tower is right over there just because I don't know them?" He said while pointing at a gigantic building in the distance.

"SHUT UP NARUTO!!!" Iruka yelled in pure frustration. For a second I thought his head just expanded thrice the normal size. Then he looked back at me and sighed a little. "We were just training and a swirling vortex suddenly appeared above the sky. Then you fell out of there and I caught you."

So this man saved me from hours of broken bone recovery. I smiled at him and held out my hand. "Thank you Iruka san!" Then I paused a second. Why did I say 'san' after his name? "So... I guess you're the teacher here right?"

Iruka smiled back at me and shook my hand. "Yes, I'm the teacher here. Would you introduce yourself to us?" He asked me and it is obvious that he is not taking no for an answer behind that smile of his.

"My name is Haios, yes weird name, I know." I replied simply. Iruka took a closer look at me before pointing at my pocket. "It's a gift from my friend." I took out my mirror and showed it to him.

"Well Haios, welcome to Konoha. Where do you come from?" That's a very hard question. But thankfully, I already prepared the answer.

"I really don't know what my origin. But I just came from a magical world far – far away from here. Portal happened and I was sent here with no way back." I explained. I can see some students looking at me with wide eyes after hearing my story.

Iruka nodded after hearing my story. "Can you stand up?" I nodded and stood up from position. "Come on, let's get you inside. It's almost recess." He said while leading me into the classroom along with everyone else.

As I walked towards the academy building, I checked what kind of power the Creator gave me. I tapped into my inner senses and found only my life force. But when I tapped into my environments, I can feel some sort of power all around me.

This almost feels like The Force, just more natural and less Spacey—wacey. I raised my palm and I can feel the natural energy converting itself into kinetic energy which creates force that I can use. This does feels like the Force!

Soon we all made it to the classroom and I saw a man with white spiky hair with a dark blue mask covering his entire face sitting on the teacher's desk. He has a blue book on his hand that for some reason looked like an R-rated literature.

"Ah, Kakashi Senpai!" Iruka exclaimed. "Thank goodness the Hokage sent you." Then Iruka looked at me and pointed at Kakashi. "This is Kakashi, he will take you to the Hokage, the leader of our village." Iruka said.

I nodded and looked at the man. Just by looking at him, it is obvious that Kakashi is not a person I wanted to mess with. "So... you're Kakashi? Hi! My name's Haios." I held out my hand.

Kakashi just glanced at me and closed the book. "Ah well, you can call me that if you want." Then he crouched down to my level. "But I do wonder how old are you?"

My age is super complicated. "Do you want the easy answer or the complicated one?" I asked him back.

"A little bit of both would be fine." He replied.

"I don't age, end of the story."

"Ah..." Kakashi looked very intrigued after I said that. I wonder if being an immortal is big deal in this world. "Do you have any parents?"

"Nope, I was... created for the lack of better words." Because you know, I was created by my creator and all that kind of stuff?

I can hear Iruka gasping behind me and Kakashi looking at me in a mixture of grim and pity. Now I started to wonder what he thinks I am. "Do you know anyone named... Orochimaru?" He asked me again with a very serious tone in his voice.

"Never heard of him in my life. Is he someone important?" I asked him back.

Kakashi seemed to sigh in relief after hearing that. "No, just wondering. Come on, let's body flicker our way to the Hokage Tower." He took my hand and made some sort of a motion with his other hand. "Have you ever body flicker before?"

"I was a training dummy for my friend's teleportation practice. Why?" I asked him back.

Instead of an answer, I found myself being pushed by an invisible force. The world around me spun for a while and I will throw up if it's not for the fact that I haven't eat anything in a while.

Soon however, everything stopped and I found myself standing in front of a wooden door. "Come in Kakashi..." A voice came from the door. Kakashi opened the door and I followed closely from behind with bated breath.

The first thing I saw was an old man wearing a red and white hat sitting on a table. A pile of paper could be seen in front of him. "Afternoon, Hokage Sama." Kakashi said while motioning me to step forward. "I've retrieved the girl."

"Thank you Kakashi, you are dismissed..." The Hokage replied. I looked behind and realized that Kakashi just disappeared into thin air.

Then the old man looked at me. Just seeing his gaze alone I can really tell that he is the last person I wanted to mess with. The aura he emitted makes me feel like standing in front of something that can stand against a reality warper without flinching.

"Would you please tell me who you are and what you are doing in my village?" He asked me with a kind tone in his voice.

I looked at him for a moment. "Will you believe me if I tell you the truth?" I asked him.

The Hokage nodded. "Of course, but only if you tell the truth."

I took a deep breath, trying to form the best sentence I can manage. "My purpose here is to learn. Why here and who I truly am, is something that I have to find out by myself." I replied. This is an honest truth because I came here to learn about who I truly am.

The Hokage seemed to accept that answer. "I heard that you do not age and that you are created. Will you please tell me about that?"

I pondered his question for a moment. "It's true that I don't age. I'm stuck in this physical form forever and I am basically immortal." I explained. "As for who created me... I promise that you do not have to worry about him."

The Hokage thought about it for a second. "An immortal... There are bad people out there who yearned and will do anything for immortality. People who would kill, destroy, and experiment for their own twisted ways just to gain immortality. I advise you to be careful out there..."

I nodded at his wisdom. "I will... Thank you Hokage..." Then I thought about it for a second. "Wait, is that your name? Hokage?" I asked again.

The Hokage just chuckled in response. "No, you can call me Old Man Hiruzen if you want." He replied in slight amusement. "You've never heard of the word Hokage before?" I shook my head. "I guess you really do come from a place far – far away."

"Now, since your purpose here is to learn, why don't you enroll yourself to the academy?" Hiruzen said suddenly. I thought about it for a second and decided that it is a very good idea. "I'm sure I can work out the papers while you go and tell Iruka about this development."

He gave me a piece of paper which I gladly took. "Thanks Hoka – I mean Old Man Hiruzen!" I looked at the door and at the window behind the Hokage. It was then that I realized that I have no idea where the academy is.

Hiruzen seemed to notice this. "Tenzou." A masked man appeared right behind me out of nowhere. Was he here the whole time? "Please escort Haios back to the academy and prepare her a place to live. I want her to feel welcome here."

Aww, he wanted me to feel welcome here. What a kind old man, if only all leaders are like him.

With that, the masked person grabbed my hand and teleported me back to the academy. I wonder if the algebra lesson will pay off...

Wait, isn't it a Ninja Academy? Sweet! I'm training to be a ninja! Heck, with the power Meta gave me, I can be the first super awesome Jedi Ninja ever!!!!!

[LINE BREAK]

Meanwhile, a few minutes after HAIOS left...

The Sandaime Hokage sat on the table. Standing across him is an old man with bandages covering his arm and half of his face. They seemed to be in a very calm yet deadly discussion about our white haired protagonist.

"Do you think I've done the right thing? Danzo..." Hiruzen said while thinking about his decision to let Haios attend the academy and give her a place to live. "Was it a mistake I brought her here?"

Danzo shook his head. "Quite the contrary, you have taken an opportunity unlike anything we've ever have before. Immortality, something that is unheard of since the age of the Sage of Six Path. Her power will only know how to grow; there is no limit to her potential. She will become the greatest asset of this village along with the Nine Tails." He explained. "I trust her with you Hiruzen, if you failed to shape her into a fine Kunoichi, then the Root will take over."

Hiruzen nodded. "Don't worry, I'll make sure she's trained well and loyal to the village." He sighed and looked at the paper works in front of him. "But where should I put her?" He asked him.

Danzo looked at the papers on the table. "We may have our difference but Kakashi is the most capable ninja to train her. He can teach her, the jinchuriki, and the last Uchiha to their fullest potential. I suggest, team seven."

"Perhaps Sakura can get a special training with the Medic nin." Hiruzen muttered. "She can make a wonderful medic nin." He wrote an invitation letter for Sakura to train in the hospital. "Perhaps her place isn't in the front lines..."
