Kusaki start to jump up to the branch of the tree. He begin to jump to the tree to tree as he leave the village. As he jump on the next branch, Kusaki look back, as it was hard to see the village. Kusaki look down in a depressing look on his face. He think he will never get a way from Sound ninjas or for Orochimaru. But, just then.....

"BOOM!!!"

Something crash in front of him. Causing him to fall down. Hitting each branchs as him hit the ground. Kusaki slowly got up as he rubbed his forehead. "Ow, what hit me?" Kusaki thought. Then, he hear a young female voice.

"Ow!!! Watch where you going, Idiot!"

Kusaki look around to see where the voice is coming. He saw a young woman sitting on the ground, rubbing her forehead. She was wearing a white shirt with red pants. She also wear some cut-out gloves, a "BIG" scroll behind her back, and headband on her forehead with the hidden leaf mark on it.
Kusaki look at her, still rubbing his forehead from the impact of the fall.

"Well, are you going to help me up!?" Said the girl, looking at him with a angry look.

"Oh, sorry." Kusaki said as him blushed.

Kusaki help her up from the ground. The young girl dust off the backside of her pants, she look down on her feet, she missing one of her left sandal.

"Aww, great! Where is it." The girl said as she look around the grass where she fall at.

"Uh...miss? Is this what you looking for?" Said Kusaki as he show her a left black slip-on sandal in his right hand.

"Yes!" Said the girl as she toke her sandal back from Kusaki.

"You know, you should watch where your going. Luckly that the fall didn't kill us." Said the girl as she put on her left sandal.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming by there." Said Kusaki as he rub back of his head.

"Well, be careful next time, buddy!" Said the girl pointing a fingter to him.

She look at the Kusaki left arm, she saw a hidden leaf headband around it.

"Hey, you from the leaf village, aren't you?" Asked the girl, now pointing her fingter to his headband. Kusaki hold his left arm.

Uh,....well, kind of. I was leaving there." Said Kusaki.

"Ready? I haven't seen you in the village before." Asked the girl.

"Well, it like this Miss, uh.... By the way, Maybe I ask, what is your name?" Ask Kusaki.

"Oh, It Tenten."

"Kusaki. Kusaki Endo."

Few minutes later, Kusaki and Tenten was sitting on the ground. Kusaki explain to Tenten that he left the sound village and that Lady Tsunade make him a genin. His also show her the curse mark on his left arm. Kusaki toke her that there 3 sound ninjas after him. He explain why he have to leave the village.

"And that what happened." Said Kusaki.

" I can't belive you left the sound village. You must be one luckly guy." Said Tenten.

"Yeah, you can say it. But now I have to go. It to dangerous for me to stay in the village. I have to go and lead the sound ninjas a way from the village. Said Kusaki as he got up for the ground.

"You know, it the coward way out." Said Tenten.

"Wh..What do you mean? I'm trying to keep them from away from the village." Said Kusaki.

"You just being a coward, that all." Said Tenten.

"You just don't understand! If I stay, the sound ninjas would come and get me. They would try to hurt anyones who is with me. I can't let that happen!!!" Yelled Kusaki.

"And your not gotting to help us?" Yelled Tenten.

"What?" Said Kusaki with a confuse look on his face.

Tenten stand up from the ground, having her arms cross and look Kusaki right between his eyes.

"You are throwing away are chance to learn about the curse mark of heaven. Also, the infomations on the sound village, Orochimaru, and finding Sarake too." Said Tenten.

Kusaki said nothing that the time.

"Lady Tsunade toke a big chance with you. She give you a chance. Others would have throw you to prison. Even if you are telling the trust. Leaving the village, would be spitting in Lady Tsunade's eye. Do ready want that!?" Said Tenten.

Kusaki only tighting his fist and said nothing.

"If you want to help the village, stay. You came all this way to find a way to get curse mark off you and find a better life for yourself. Don't just runaway. Let us help you." Said Tenten.

"What should I do?" Kusaki thought.
