Prologue (rewrite)

[Kotetsu pov]

It was a peaceful morning here in Konoha. Like every always me and my partner, Izumo Kamizuki were guarding the gate. Today was going to be a normal and boring day. I know no one is foolish enough to attack the strongest Hidden Village in the day but I still I was proud of my job. I was contemplating when something caught my eye on the horison.

"Hey man, are you there? It's your turn" Izumo said to me while looking at the cards in his hand.

Seeing I was not responding Izumo followed my gaze and saw what I was watching. A beautiful brown-haired woman with a Katana on her back was walking this way, but that wasn't what surprised me so much. The woman clothes were drenched in a very familiar crimson liquid.

"Hey, Kotetsu is it me or her clothing have blood all over it." said Izumo in disbelief

"No, it's not you"

As soon as I said that we both stood at our place beside the gate waiting for the woman.

"You there! Stop this instance and identify yourself!"

???? (woman): "Hello, my name is Aiko Tōjin and I want to live with my child in this village"

"Before being able to live here you need to see the Hokage." Izumo said looking at the woman. "I will go see if the Hokage is free" He then turns in my direction and said quietly "Make sure she stays here"

After which he left in the direction of the Hokage tower.

Looking at the woman I could help but notice all the blood on her. "Miss are you hurt?"

"Oh! No this isn't my blood." She said looking like it was the most normal thing in the world

"Oh..."

~A few minutes later~

Finally, after a few minutes of awkward silence, an ANBU arrived.

"Miss the Hokage is ready to see you, please follow me."

"..." She left quickly following the ANBU.

~At the Hokage Tower~

[Hiruzen Sarutobi pov]

There I was fighting my most dreaded enemy... Paperwork. Really why did I have to retake the hat? Thinking about this I noticed the door open and saw the ANBU codename cat follow by an unknown woman walk in.

"Lord Hokage, miss Aiko has come," said Cat before bowing.

"Thank you, you're dismissed" I said

"Yes" Said Cat

Before speaking I looked over the woman. She had long light-brown hair, brown eye. She wore a blue combat kimono and in her hand was a small blue cloth. The only thing that seemed out of place was the blood covering her kimono. After examining her I said "Miss Aiko Tōjin, I understood that you want to live in my village."

"Yes" She said politely

"Is the reason why you want to live here connected to the fact that your clothes full of blood?"

"Oh no. I and Kasaki

encountered bandits on the way here and I got blood on myself while taking them out"

"Who's Kasaki?"

"Him" She said while pointing to the cloth now revelling to be baby in her arm.

"...oh....so are you're a ninja"

"no I'm a swordswoman" she said

"So you're a samurai from the land of Iron" I asked as most swordmen come from there.

"No I'm a wandering swordswoman, but now that I have a child to look after I can't keep on doing that. I need to find a place to stay and Konoha was the closest village"

After a few more questions, I decided to allow her request. I couldn't sense any lies in any of her answer.

"I will allow you and Kasaki become citizens, but you and Kasaki-kun have to become ninja of the leaf"

"Yes" She said like she expected this answer.

"You will be given a place to stay for the first few months, but you'll need to look for yourself after"

"Thank you, Lord Hokage"

"You're dismissed"

"Yes!" She said before bowing and leaving.

I took a last look at the door before going back to the paperwork.
