My name is Aiko. Long ago before my birth, it was decided by the leaders of my village, after much debating, I would become their ultimate weapon! So what they did was seal the demon Raiju inside of me!! My mother died shortly after my birth. My father....they say that I killed him. I was all alone and so I was kept in the training facility. No one but the village Leaders knew I existed. At age 4 they began training me by tormenting me so I would get angry. They were trying to bring Raiju out!! This went on day in and day out until I turned 7!! Then I was placed in school. At school, there was a group of kids who took to teasing me. One day they took it to far and I became so angry that Raiju was unleashed. 3 of the kids were hurt. A meeting was held with the village leaders and the villagers. The villagers saw me as a monster and something to be feared even though the leaders tried to explain that I wasn't! Everyone in the village began to fear me. They hated me and I hated them for hating me!! At age 9 I left the village, never to return and not caring what happened to me!!

I was all alone and free, yet I still had that anger inside of me!! I used this anger to train myself and make myself stronger!!! Over the years, there were people who tried to hurt me and steal from me...several of them ended up dead by the hands of Raiju. I traveled to different villages, learnign what I could. I read many books to gain all the knowledge I needed!!

One day, at age 13, I was sitting in a tree and having lunch. I heard voices and looked down at the path beneath me. 4 people were walking north. One of them was an adult and the other 3 were kids about my age. The weird thing was, they all had headbands with a leaf symbol on a metal plate. I waited until the passed and jumped from my tree. I followed them, keeping myself hidden.

They walked to this village called Konohagakure. I followed them inside and quickly hid!! This village was different. It was more secure and it didn't look like it would let just anyone come in!! I kept an eye and tried to avoid every Official looking person. Problem was, they seemed to be everywhere!!!!!
