Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes..a coinsidence indeed. But, have you forgotten Naruto? The took my Demon already, so I do not fear for myself. The one I fear for right now is Akiko. She is the Seven (or am I the eight?) tailed phoenix inside of her. How that came to be is still a mystery to me and her mother. She must wear that necklace for it supressess the Demon inside her. The Demon cannot be conrtolld otherwise. She would be a very dangerous creature, if not for that necklace."

Akiko's stomach Growled. She was hungry. She saw a boy with a funny looking thing strapped to his back. Was it a sword...a scroll...? Akiko walked up to him "Excuse me...um do you know where I could find something to eat?" she said, suddenly shy.

"Yes of course if that is what you wish. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Um yeah." she said, talking about her being from the sand "Uumm...yeah I guess. I've only had it like, four times...and they were all chicken." she said smiling Yes she thought Food.

"Um...thanks!" she said smiling as she sat down. She took some chopsticks and hesitantly picked up the noodles and placed them in her mouth "Mmmmmm...." she murmered. "So...why don't you guys have your headbands yet?" she asked cuiously "I mean, you look about the same age as me, and Im already a Jounin....." She looked confuzed. She ate some more of the ramen. "mmm.. this is really good" she whispered.

"Oh! Cool!" she said excitedly as hinata walked in "Oh sure!" she said, walking out of the ramen shop.

“We’re almost there” Mizumi and her teammates are at the Chunin Exam in the Forest of Death. Having both scrolls all they need to do is get out of the forest. “Going somewhere?” said a voice from behind. Kisa was the first to react running toward a tree as if she knew the person and wanted to say hello. Suddenly a rock gets picked off the ground and is hurled to her and Kisa is knocked back toward Mizumi. “…Brother … is that you, Hiro” As Hiro jumps out of the tree a Kunai hits Mizumi in the arm "Careful Mizumi” said one of her teammates. All of a sudden the earth shakes and both of her teammates fall into a hole and a boulder got moved on top of the hole. “Don’t try to save them” said Hiro “they’ll survive, IF you do what I say.” “Hiro but… but why are you hurting my friends. Where have you been, I was so worried about you.”
“I have been with the Akatsuki. I have come to take you with me, for I have reserved a spot for you to join. Come with me and you will become stronger than you could ever wish for. You can’t learn all your powers by yourself I have the water scroll that would help you, but if you don’t come I am ordered to kill you.
Mizumi suddenly wakes up to see that she was in her room. It was just a dream. “I still remember it perfectly from three years ago.” After my brother said that he suddenly takes off running. I tried to catch up to him but something was grabbing my arm when I turned around a medical ninja was there and told me to stay. He healed my arm while people were moving the bolder away from the pit, but my friends were not as lucky as I was they both died before the week was over. “Hiro… where are you now.”

Once Hinata told Mizumi the news, she ran to the center of the village. Seeing that there where already two other people there she slowed down to a waking pace and trying not to make eye contact, she nervously knocked on the door.

Sakura came to the door. "Good, come." Sakura walked back into the room. Ryo entered a room lit gently with candles. Naruto and Sasuke stood in the center of the room. Sakura joined them. "Ryo, Akiko, Mizumi. I have thought long and hard on this and have disided that there will be a small change in my original plan. Akiko is the only one that knows of my original plan witch I have changed just this afternoon for reasons I have expressed with the Kazekage after you left. Origanaly there was going to be an expirianced Jounin as the leader of your squad. I have decided that it would be more producktive to make you a squad of three. Ryo, Akiko, one of you will be be voted into being the leader. Sasuke, Sakura, and I will asess your finished missions but the vote will count moslt from Mizumi." Naruto turned to her. "Your secondary mission is to watch them as you progress in your missions. At the end of a mission you will give me your view on thier leadership qualities. But the team must have some one to lead. There will be three missions befor the exams. For the first mission Ryo will lead. The secound, Akiko. Before the third the a leader will be chosen and will lead the third mission and any other missions that will be given to you. Do you under stand this?"
Ryo noded an afirmative.

Sakura smiled "Mizumi is the medical ninja of the squad and therefor must be protected by the other members of the squad at all costs. As leader of a squad you must take charge of your squad and make sure that if some one is harmed, the leader did all that is posible to stop it. Thus, putting a medical ninja in charge of a squad, no matter how strong they may be, would put risk to the entire squad and mission. So it is for this porpose that she cannot be the leader. These responabilities must be clearly understood by all Jounin squads. Understood!" She finished.
