Gurenko Of The Puppets/Story

## Little Doll

Saori Gurenko was born and raised in Wind Country until her five years when her parents decided to move away for reasons they never told her. They eventually found a new home in Baron Country. Gurenko was born with beautiful red hair and a pair of silver eyes, she was also gifted with a great talent in the arts of Puppetry.

An old tradition of the Saori family, passed from generation to generation, it was not something easy to learn, but for Gurenko it was different, the girl easily learned this technique while still a child, and over the years, she quickly mastered Puppetry. Gurenko was the best puppets user of the family since her great-grandmother.

The first puppet Gurenko ever made is Ren-ko, her favorito doll, she also resembles Gurenko herself.

There's not much to tell about Gurenko's childhood, she didn't had any siblings or close friends, most of her days could be summarized to playing with dolls alone and training the arts of Puppetry.

## Darkness...

The war between Hive Empire and Fire Country had just began, a war of ignorance and greed, while their precious homeland stayed safe and untouched, the poor land of Baron suffered as it became their stage of destruction. Gurenko and her parents couldn't leave the country before the war started and unfortunatelly they were caught by the conflict.

On a certain night the Saori's house was hit by an explosion which destroyed everything, Gurenko survived, but was left badly injured, sadly her parents died in the explosion. Gurenko had just enough strenght to save her doll and crawl away from the destroyed house, she hugged Ren-ko closely as she stared at what remained from her home, before her strenght faded away, the little girl only hoped that someone would find and save her. Fortunatelly, a squad of Konoha Shinobi found the destroyed house and the unconscious girl by the yard, they brought her back to the HQ at the border and the medics took care of her. Gurenko woke up some days after in the medic's tent, the visions of that explosion still in her mind, she knew her parents died, but at least Ren-ko was there, at her side. The girl didn't cry at that time, despite the unbearing sadness she felt.

Even though she lost her home and family, Gurenko stood up and faced this new life she was forced into... A new story was about to start... would she seek vengeance for the death of her parents or justice for the crimes of that war? Only time would tell.

## The Fall

Time passed, the war went on, Gurenko slowly started to hang with the others at Konoha's HQ, soon she joined Konoha's side and became a Genin, helping with the war, however, things were about to take a big turn.

Gurenko had changed after each mission she went on, at the end of the war, when Konoha marched inside the Crossroad, Gurenko was already a different person, she no longer was holding herself or her opinions. To keep a short story, when the shinobi of Konoha stood face to face with the Warlord Jian Pei, Gurenko did something that bothered him and he raised a sword at her, and as a response she moved Ren-ko to point its bladed limbs at the face of the Warlord, fortunatelly or not, nothing bad happened, at least not to the girl.

This actions was enough to get the girl demoted, however, Gurenko didn't care and stated this in front of General Taifu, she didn't really care about anyone's rank or role there, and because of that, the girl got expelled from the army, but as said before, she didn't care, Gurenko viewed the shinobi and all soldiers as nothing but puppets... she simply left the HQ and walked alone into a new phase...
