A young twelve-year-old girl with skin pale as paper and dark green eyes with light purple markings around her eyes was looking outside of a car window in the back seat.

The young girl was wearing a white short sleeve shirt with a purple snake on the front of it and black shorts, as well as her long lilac hair was pulled back into a ponytail stopping at her back, and bangs touching her forehead and lose strands of hair framing her face.

"This is so dumb," She muttered with a loud sigh as she looked outside of the window.

"Akahana, my precious flower, what is the matter?" A soft female snake-like voice asked from the driver's seat.

"Oh, don't act like you don't know, Mother. You're sending me to this dumb boarding school," The girl now known as Akahana muttered, crossing her arms in annoyance.

"Im sorry, my flower, but last year you broke a poor boy's arm, slamming him into a table," Her mother sighed as she continued driving."This boarding school is going to be better for you. My older brother will be there to look after you as well."

"I don't care. That boy deserved to be beaten up, and I don't need to be looked after," Akahana muttered, looking back out the window.

Her mother only sighed in response to Akahana's attitude.

'My precious flower, you changed from my happy and sweet little girl. Going to the school where Orochimaru works will make you go. Not only will you meet better kids than the kids back in Rice patty, but your uncle had a struggle as well making friends when he changed after both are parents died and didn't have a great relationship with our foster parents.' Her mother thought, looking at her daughter from the mirror up front.

After a long car ride of boredom, the car finally stopped, and her mother had pulled on up in a parking spot in front of Akahana's new school. She glanced out the window and stared at the massive school before sighing and exiting the car.

'So this is my new school. It was more significant than my old school last year but still dumb.' She thought with an emotionless expression on her face as she shut the door.

"So what do you think?" Her mother asked.

Akahana turned to see her mother getting out of the car. Her mother was a tall early 30's pale, skin slim bui female with dark purple slotted pupil eyes and light purple markings around her eyes. She also had medium size breasts and straight waist-length violet hair with locks framing the side of her face. She was wearing a pink and blue dress, stopping above her knees, and black leggings. To top it off, she was wearing black boots.

"I still think this is dumb, but it's not like you're going to change your mind sending me here suddenly," She replied.

"Your right. I won't since I already have you registered with Sandaime, the headmaster/principal of the school," Her mother replied."First up, we will pick up your class schedule and then see the dorm master to figure out where you will be staying," She continued walking over toward Akahana.

"Alright," Akahana sighed as she and her mother walked on toward the main entrance of the school, passing kids her age and older carrying boxes to the dormitory.

'This headmaster better not get on my nerves as much as the one at old school did.' She thought as she and her mother walked through the door and down the hall leading to the headmaster's office.

After a long five-minute walk down the hallway of the office building, Akahana and her mother finally reached the headmaster's office. She sighed as she looked down at the floor and ran a hand through her bangs.

Her mother carefully knocked on the door a couple of times and waited for a response. After a few minutes, a old man's voice was heard from the other side of the door.

"Come on in," The voice responded.

Akahana raised a lilac eyebrow at the old man sitting behind the brown desk with two stacks of papers sitting on top of it.

'This old man is the headmaster of the school.' She thought, completely unimpressed with the headmaster.

"Hello, Sandaime-san," Her mother greeted with a soft smile on her face.

"Ah, Yumi, it's been a while since I'm seen you," The man said, smiling at her back."This young girl must be Akahana."

Akahana just shrugged her shoulders.

"Akahana, meet Sarutobi. He was the headmaster back then and my brother's homeroom sensei," Yumi said, placing a hand on Akahana's right shoulder.

"Hm."

"Sorry, she's not much of a talker," Yumi sighed.

"That alright. I'm sure she will open up over time," Sarutobi chuckled, going through the papers in the larger stack and grabbing something from the smaller pile."The first one is her schedule, and the other one is a school map," He said, handing the paper and booklet to Yumi.

"Thank you, Sandaime-san."

"If you have any questions, Akahana, don't hesitate to come ask, and as for your dorm, you can get the key and your dorm number from Ebisu, the dorm master, in the office closer to the beginning of the hall. You pass it on to the way here."

Akahana simply nodded as Yumi once again thanked the Sandiame as they headed towards the door.

"By the way, has he finally found himself a lover?" Yumi asked, looking back at her old headmaster.

"I'm pretty sure you can ask him that yourself later," He chuckled in response."I let him know your here so he can help bring in his niece's stuff.

"Thank you, and I'm going to guess he's still single unless he finally asked out Tsunade if she for over Dan by now!"

"She hasn't talked about him since he passed away. Oh, and Akahana?"

"Huh?"

"Welcome to Konoha Boarding School," He smiled. She nodded and walked out of the door with her mother behind her shutting the door.

As she began walking toward the dorm master's office, she was stopped in her tracks as she bumped into a slightly muscular figure.
