It was a typical day in Konoha. The sun was bright, and there were few clouds in the sky. It was a perfect day, except for one fact: It was boring! There had not been any demand for high risk, dangerous missions as of late. Many ninja in the village were happy to take a break from their missions, but some were restless and looking for excitement. Like Areku.<br/><br/>Areku Katamoto was a fairly young man, only 20 years old, and was currently a Chunin ranked ninja. He was 5'10", had bright blue eyes, and and spiky brown hair. He was currently on patrol duty around the village. As he leapt from tree to tree around the village, he let out a sigh. He was dying to go on a C or B ranked mission. The only exciting event anywhere remotely close to the near future was the Jonin exams, and those were at least 2 months away.<br/><br/>Little did he know, that something would soon happen that would change his world forever...
