Oh, and pic on the side is of Ookami in her regular ol' wolf form!  Well, she looks kind of happy there, but other than that, yeah, that's how I pictured her!  XD!

Chapter 1

(Ookami’s POV)

I had traveled around and I finally came to Konohagakure.  I focused and hid my ears and tail with a special jutsu.  No one would be able to see them. I walked to the gate, and, as expected, the guards blocked my way, demanding that I state my business.  I rolled my eyes, “Well, if it’s my business, then why should I be telling you?”

 The guards’ faces remained blank, though irritation swam within the depths of their eyes.  I smirked before sighing, “But, if you must know, I’ve come seeking an audience with Hokage to see if I can become a Leaf Village ninja.”

 The guards narrowed their eyes on me, before one gave a curt, “Fine.”  And with each on my side we made our way through the village.  I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at how they were on each side.  If I truly was going to try and pull something, like, I don’t know, massacring the entire village?  I would easily be able to kill them both.  Of course, they didn’t need to know that, but still, I took a slight offense to the fact that they thought I was that weak.  And then I took it as a compliment since I wanted people to think that.  It made me seriously consider going into acting… but then we arrived at the Hokage’s ‘headquarters’ I suppose you could say.  The guards knocked before sending me a look that I guess was supposed to be threatening, but it didn’t do a thing for me.  I pretended it did though, and shrunk back slightly.  They seemed satisfied with this and opened the door at the ancient voice of the Third Hokage, “Come in.”

 I walked in with the guards following close behind me.  The Third looked up and smiled, “Hello there.  And who is this?” 

 I spoke up before the guards could, “I’m Ookami, sir.  Ookami” I made up a last name on the spot, “Takahashi.” 

 The old man smiled again, “And what do you need, Ookami?”  He waved the guards away, and they reluctantly walked outside, but stayed on the other side of the doors.

 I smiled back, trying to appear like a harmless 13-year-old girl.  “Well, you see, I’ve come seeking to become a ninja of your village.”

 “What about your family?  Where are they?”

 “I have no family,” I said sadly, redirecting my gaze to the ground as I hung my head, silently praying that this little act would work. 

 “Oh, well, I’m sorry.”  He said sympathetically.  I shrugged my shoulders in a half-hearted way, not raising my gaze.  I heard him sigh, “Alright.  You can join one of our teams as soon as you pass the exam.  The others have already taken it, but they haven’t met their Sensei’s yet, so you can still do it.”

 I raised my head then, making a face of hope.  “Really?”

 The Hokage smiled and nodded.  “As long as you can make a shadow clone you pass the test.”

 I grinned and went through the hand signs at the speed of what I assumed a Genin would be able to do.  “Shadow Clone Jutsu!”  And I limited it to only 3 clones.  “Do I pass?  Do I pass?!”  I asked excitedly.
