## **Background:**

Nayru “Ru” Namikaze was born near the outskirts of the Land of Fire. While on a pilgrimage to a hidden land, Genoa and Faryu Namikaze, her mother and father, sought out a life lived in peace and prosperity, both for their life, and the life of their newborn. Though unrewarded as a well known ninja, Faryu was a shinobi of great talent. He considered himself a traveling ninja, one who, instead of protecting the people of his land, considered the world as his land and anyone living within it, nay everyone, a man or woman worth protecting. Traveling from place to place, he helped anyone in need, though more often than not, finding himself neck deep in trouble. His many travels led him to an envoy where he met his soon to be wife, Genoa. Though not a ninja herself, he fell in love with the colour of her personality. She was a small woman in size, but gigantic at heart. Her life led as a merchant, selling things to passerbys and moving from city to city in hopes of higher traffic and the works. Needless to say, Faryu stuck around with her. He helped her along her travels and was an effective bodyguard for those who wished to earn a bad coin. Settling down was a loose term, as there was no official marriage. Simply, it was a bond ungoverned by land or law. Now on their way to a hidden village located within the borders of the land of fire, Nayru was born.

Year Zero: A few weeks after the birth of Nayru, both Genoa and Faryu came to their conclusion that after bearing a child of their own, a solid ground would be best for the child. They decided to remain in the hidden village. The traffic was fair and the prices reasonable. Though not royalty, they would be able to live a healthy life together. Genoa would continue doing what she was known to do by selling to the locals, while Faryu supported in, now his countries, affairs as a shinobi.

Year One: Nayru, a healthy baby girl, eyes blue as her mother’s would be raised by her mother. As a quiet and content child, Genoa had very little problem cooing and cradling her child as she traded with others. In fact, it could have easily assisted in the sales. This Namikaze family quickly became an accepted family of this society, making friends that would seem to last a lifetime. Though not always present with them, Faryu would return home whenever possible to take care of the woman he loved and the child he bore.

Year Two: Now able to walk and speak, however loosely the translations were, Nayru still assisted her mother. Though at this time, Genoa had bore her own shop to trade in, having saved enough to do so. Being a young one with a curious mind, touching things came of great importance to the little Nayru. Quickly touching everything she came into contact with, she quickly became a minor inconvenience for her mother. However, Genoa was a patient woman, having dealt with a man who has trouble staying on one place for too long. Distracting the growing baby was easy for her with a makeshift toy that Genoa grew up with. It held many contraptions, colours, clicks and noises; Needless to say the toy amused baby Nayru for as long as it needed. Faryu, being a well traveled shinobi, was given reigns to scouting missions, becoming one of the most highly sought out ninja for reconnaissance. Because of this, he saw his family less and less as each mission became longer and longer. Though on his off time, he still found the energy to play with his daughter as well as enjoy the company of his wife.

Year Three: Now, with a stronger sense of words and vocabulary, Nayru could finally strike simple conversations with others her age. Many friends of Genoa would come into the store, bringing their own child, roughly the age of Nayru. Her more frequent character she would be found conversing with was a four year old girl named Venn Sarutobi. Venn and Nayru became friends immediately, finding time to play small games with each other, such as tag. Venn looked polar opposite of Nayru. She had dark black hair while Nayru was a light blonde. Venn’s favourite colour was dark red whilst Nayru’s was light blue. Through all the differences, however, they quickly became best friends. By evenings Genoa would feed and put to bed her child. While preparing Nayru, Genoa would tell her daughter the stories and adventures that Faryu had, describing him as heroic and adventurous. On days Faryu was off, he would take his daughter on field trips, exploring the city and having Nayru show off her father to the village.

Year Four: Nayru, now able to assist her mother with the shop, helping her carry small things and even hold the counter a few times, under supervision. Nayru came to find out that the shop’s name was “Namikaze Necessity”, a shop roughly in the idea of a convenience store, with the added benefit of other small additions. Her hair, now past her shoulders, shone brightly as the blonde would allow. Her friend, Venn would come by everyday and also assist with the shop, being with her friend. On occasion, and with Genoa’s permission, Venn would sleep over at the Namikaze’s residence. Nayru’s dress style was out of the ordinary. Although she had no problem with anything in particular, she found herself preferring pants and shorts over dresses and skirts. Genoa and Faryu had both gotten along with Venn’s parents, inviting them over for meals just so the kids could have an excuse to play more. On days her father was available, he would tell her all about his adventures.

Year Five: Assisting her mother again within the shop, Nayru comes to the epiphany as to what she wants to be. After hearing the goal of her friend and the adventures from her father, she explains to her mother that she has intentions of joining the Ninja Academy next year. Though Genoa is reluctant to that, wanting her daughter to be safe from the world, she decides that if her daughter is anything like Faryu, or even herself, there is very little use trying to stop her. On days that weren’t predicted to be busy, Nayru was given the freedom to avoid shop duties somedays. During this time, she would gather with Venn again to play. Not only would Venn be there, but other children would be there as well. They were children that she met in the Academy, already learning the path to ninja. One was named Hiro Haruno, a boy with bright pink, though short, hair. He was a kind hearted boy whose frustration could lead into a hot temper. Another was named Cuji Fuma. A shorter boy, even shorter than Nayru, being a year younger. His hair colour was an ocean blue, though you could hardly tell because he loved wearing his hoodie up. He was quieter than the rest, but would still find himself laughing to Hiro’s humour. The four of them would run and play in the parks and streets. Though not a ninja yet, Nayru found herself outrunning them, being faster than the lot. Though this frustrated Hiro to a degree, everyone was impressed and excited to see Nayru enter into the Academy. After her father arrived home, Nayru explained to him that her goal was to become a ninja. Faryu responded with joy, seeing that she has decided how she wants to live her life; Protecting her family and friends was her goal. He also firmly told her that she needs to pay attention, because it is serious business and she could get hurt, but Nayru already understood that.

Year Six: Having lived within proximity of the Sarutobi’s Residence, Venn walked Nayru to her first day at the Academy. Wishing both to each other luck on the first day, they both hurried inside to their own classes and seats. Looking around before the teacher arrived, even she could see many of the people she has seen before working from the shop, though most were named she barely knew. Once the teacher arrived, they began studying and learning about the Ninja ways. Taking a hefty bit of notes, by the end of the school day, she would leave for the day. Hanging out with the usual group of friends, they spent a small amount of time playing before it became dark and all needed to return home. Saying goodbye, Venn and Nayru split paths with Hiro and Cuji and walked their way home. Each and everyday, they would talk about the events going about from their school day, as friends would. Venn would easily talk about the classmates she had while Nayru was more keen to talk about the subject material. After they found their crossroads, they would split and wait for tomorrow. Her mother would inquire about Nayru’s day, whether good or bad and talk about the days and happenings as needed. When Faryu was around, he would help her out with any studies and help her practice with throwing Shuriken or Kunai. Whether or not he was there, she still focused on practicing and studying, never and none of it being too much.

Year Seven: Walking to the Academy with her friend was always an enjoyable experience for Nayru. On select few days, many classes from all ages would gather together to have event days. On event days, many students will spar and throw Kunai at targets. Similar to a festival, it was a basic day of fun for those learning to be a ninja. For the younger ninja-in-training, it was a spectacle to see those with skill higher than theirs, giving them a goal to achieve. For the older ninjas, it showed them how far they’ve come, as well as show off to the younger sort, if they so chose to. Nayru would watch Venn spar with others. She wasn’t the most talented at sparring, but she held her own for the most part. Unfortunately the few people who wished to spar her found themselves in the Victor’s seat. Although Venn wasn’t a bad fighter, the people who tend to spar were fairly good at it. Returning after being disheartened, she came to Nayru who only offered her encouragement and a mend to her emotional wounds after the loss. Nayru, though not described as physically strong, partook in a spar, and using her swiftness on her feet, came out victorious, though only barely. Nayru couldn’t say much about sparing however. She did not favour the sport as others do. She did enjoy Kunai targets. Nayru and Venn approached the Kunai targets to see Cuji holding his own and doing even better then his classmate Suki Uchiha. Venn tells Nayru that Suki is their classroom best, and seeing Cuji beat her was a gift against its own. Hiro, however, wasn’t too great with his tools, making him easily frustrated. Amongst the overall emotions from everyone, both good and bad, everyone enjoyed the event. While still studying, Nayru found herself getting the hang of the shinobi likeness.

Year Eight: Class began as normal, though Nayru began learning how to mold chakra within herself. Though at first, it is very narrowly done, she quickly learns how to use the transformation technique, though barely. It will definitely take practice before she can perfect that, though that’s absolutely common. As far as classmates go, though she was quiet most of the times, she was attentive to those who asked for an ear. She was also well known among her class to be one of the smartest and skilled, though neither of which being on top. She simply studied and trained, and it helped that she was friends with older students. Being as kind hearted as she was, she always helped someone who asked, similar to her father. Her grades were high and her physique optimal for her age. After each day, Venn would accompany her home, along with Cuji and Hiro, if they choose to do so. They would leave halfway walking home, leaving just Venn and Nayru. Venn would sometimes ask Nayru about different things about her day, even if she liked anyone in class. Walking home with her best friend was one of the larger luxuries that Nayru enjoyed. Coming home, once a day, everyday, her mother would ask her about her day and how everything was. Running into a lot of her classmate’s parents, Genoa had plenty an idea how she was liked in school and how she got along with everyone. Faryu was just as proud as Genoa, seeing his daughter take care of things and how responsible she held her duties to her studies and training.

Year Nine: Within the Academy, her abilities of transformation had improved as well as the basics of genjutsu, at least in concept. As if matching her colourful personality, not only did she practice and study, but she would frequently dye her hair. A choice not in favour of her mother, but a harmless choice as such would slide. She would streak her hair a variety of different colours as the weeks and months pulled in. Many people took note and enjoyed the change, while most others had no opinion on the matter. Hiro would make funny comments on the matter, only to be snapped back at from the others for having his own hair an odd colour. Nayru didn’t mind the attention, though. It was a symbol of herself, showing others, in a way, of her freethinking and acceptance towards other thoughts. Cuji had no true opinion one way or the other on the matter, but Venn commented and complimented it each and every change, even going as far as to ask for assistance on her own hair, which Nayru obliged. On the way home one day, Venn has an open confession to admit. She admits to having feelings for Nayru, more feelings than just a best friend. Though taken aback by the comment, the conversation is quickly dropped by Venn. Though an awkward walk home led after that moment, things eventually returned to normal.

Year 10: Another year goes by in the Academy, furthering the skills of the young girl Nayru. Her grades stayed as pristine as ever, and her performance as top as ever. Though, her skills would be put into question in an actual scenario, her Academy level stunts were top tier. She even had a small group to help if they needed it. After school she would continue to hang out with her usual small group of friends. Hiro, though still cracks his normal jokes as usual, now tends to shy away from conversation at times, though rarely, while Cuji still quiet and attentive. After parting ways, Venn continues to follow alongside Nayru. Ever so slightly, Venn finally admits her full feelings for Nayru, stating that she has had feelings for her for a few years now. She asks if she could ask Nayru out. Nayru, with a few days of thought accepts the proposal. Venn and Nayru both agree to keep the relationship quiet, however, simply due to the possibility of being shunned by their families. They continued walking home together, flustered at first, but increasingly more comfortable as the days go by. In the meantime, Nayru returns home to find that she will become an older sister. Time ticks by as the moments continue until soon enough, Nayru is sister to Namino Namikaze, a baby girl. In order to help out, Nayru helps her mother and father take care of the child while still maintaining her studies, practices, and extra curricular activities.

Year 11: The Academy prepares Nayru’s class for its final test before graduation. Nayru is feeling nervous, not just for her, but for her friends. After all, they are to take the graduation examination this year. She worried about Venn’s success as well. Knowing that she would still pass, it still didn’t help her worry. After leaving class, she met up with her usual friends, where they hung out as usual. This time, however, Hiro wasn’t his normal, jovial self. As they decided to part, Hiro held back Nayru, knowing that he could talk to her. Venn decided that she would wait for Nayru, so after they were done, they could meet back up to go home. Hiro explains to Nayru that he has had feelings for Venn and wished to ask her out. With some thought, Nayru nods, though confused about the situation. After all, only Venn and herself know about their own relationship. After their conversation, Nayru meets up with Venn and they find their new spot before they go home. Up within the tallest tree, they sat together on a strong branch watching the sunset. Reluctantly, Nayru admits that although she does like Venn, she finds that circumstances do not meet up appropriately and that they should just be friends. With some convincing, Venn agrees. Though slightly heartbroken, Nayru slightly hints that Hiro has a thing for Venn. After continuing their hangout for a little longer, they finally hugged and walked their own ways for the day. Nayru went home and helped take care of Namino, who had just begun to move around. Finally, Venn, Hiro, and Cuji passed their examination and became apart of Team 5.

Year 12: Though Nayru was above all else ready, she was still nervous. She hasn’t been able to talk as much to her friends as normal, simply because they’ve been off on missions. Granted, they’ve stayed in the village, but they are still usually busy with missions. The examination this year for Nayru has changed slightly. Instead of the normal test, 3 students will form a team and measure a simulated E rank mission and based on their performance, will pass. Her partners assigned to her was Hegiramo “Hegi” Senju, a tall, slender boy with brown, long hair and a serious look about him. The other assigned was a chubby kid named Genjuro “Gen” Akimichi. He boasted red hair, though hardly visible. The mission given upon them was to locate and detain a Jounin level. Most Jounin when found will give up, but there are a few who will cause restraint. Nayru, Hegi, and Gen went about their mission. Nayru knew a bit about Gen, being fair acquaintances since class. However, Hegi was a quiet one, never responding in class to anyone outside of the teacher. She knew he was also top of his class, scoring even higher than Nayru. His physique was also rivaled to her as well. Alternatively, Gen was average on his test scores and average on his physique. As they searched for their specific Jounin, they eventually find them and though with a bit of struggle, eventually subdue their target. The Jounin they caught is named Hitomi Hyuga. Soon after graduation, they were all informed that they will be making up Team 9, with Hitomi as their Leader. Hitomi had Hyuga eyes, as one is to expect, and had a strange pigmentation in her hair, causing one side to be completely black, while the other completely white. As Nayru went home, she was surprised to not only find her family, but all of Team 5 waiting for her, congratulating her graduation with a celebration. As Nayru quickly comes to find out, Hiro and Venn have began dating after Hiro finally asked her out.

Year 13: After a few months being on Team 9, Nayru finally gets the hang of being a part of a team. Hegi, though still a silent type, learned how to become a team member, while Gen showed his true strength and power as an Akimichi. Though their missions comprised of menial labour that she had already done and worse, working at her mother’s shop, she still found the tasks entertaining. Learning about her teammates and how to better get along with them was a task itself. Meeting back up with their leader, Hitomi each gives them a slip of paper and offers them to push chakra into them to test their element. Both Hegi’s and Gen’s paper crumble into dust while Nayru’s paper became soggy and floppy. Interesting as it is, Hitomi then began training them on walking upon walls and ceilings. Hegi had it perfectly while Nayru dwindles faintly behind. Gen, on the other hand, had a ton of issues with it, finding difficulty using his chakra as a grab. Though Hegi couldn’t care less about Gen’s failure, Nayru attempted to give him words of encouragement and advice. Taking a few days to get it, finally Gen was able to climb a wall using chakra. Continuing the missions, at the end of the day Nayru would return home to her three year old sister. Soon, she received information that her mother was to have another child. Excited, Nayru would complete each mission with a smile until the child was born, and even after. The baby boy was named Neji Namikaze.

Year 14: Being apart of a team for a year now has made things clear. Gaining harder ranked missions would be the start, but Nayru had trust in Hegi and Gen. Their first C-Ranked mission included the removal of a known gang of thugs near the outside of the village walls. Under Hitomi’s supervision, Team 9 led to the gang’s encampment to remove the threat of the gang. Upon arriving, the team has very little trouble retraining them, working as a team. Unfortunately, restraining them was only half the mission, as they were to remove them. Hegi immediately suggested killing them to rid of the problem, but Nayru had no intention of doing such a thing. Her thought was to imprison them and wait for another team to be assigned to escort them. Thinking it over with everyone, they, though reluctantly, agreed to imprison them until they can be escorted out of the land. Nayru later explained that she would kill if absolutely necessary. However she wouldn’t kill am unarmed and defenceless man or woman. After arriving with the prisoners, the leader agreed to the course of action Team 9 imposed and would later assign a team as an escort. On another note, the chunin exams were to take place, and this year was Team 5’s time to shine. Many participated this year, but Nayru believed all of Team 5 winners. First fight was Hiro and Sabino Kaguya, a strong looking man who possessed a strange ability. Luckily for Hiro, using Jutsu previously unknown to Nayru, Hiro barely won his fight. Next was Cuji and Suki, an interesting fight, however Suki was victorious. Venn was fortunate to go up against an opponent who never showed up, but it was truly a disappointment. Suki and Hiro was next. However close a fight, though, Suki once again remained on top. Finally, it was Suki and Venn. Nayru cheered her on as the crowd screamed with excitement before her. The bets were on the Uchiha, but with an underdog tale, Venn becomes victorious. After the exams, Nayru congratulates all of Team 5. Both Hiro and Venn became chunin. Unfortunately for Cuji, he would have to wait until next year. Returning home, Nayru would find her sister, now four, helping around the house and store. Namino has decided at a young age to help her mother as a shopkeeper and keep the store within the family line. Nayru’s Father still showed up when he could and would teach Nayru different jutsus that he believed she was ready for.

Year 15: At this point, it was known to Team 9 what was needed to be done. They were ready for the chunin exams. The times heated up and everyone nervous. At the point of the finale, Gen had already dropped out. The fight had come to Nayru vs Cuji and Hegi vs Pati Hatake, a girl who was in our class prior who also remained silent. Though Cuji’s Shuriken was thrown with speed and precision, Nayru had too quick a reaction time to be caught by it. Still having tricks up his sleeve, a few blows were landed, but nothing that would stop her from ending the fight with her as the victor. Hegi was the victor within his own fight, meaning it was both Nayru vs Hegi. Nayru knew most of the things that Hegi could do, but the same was true in reverse. In normal situation, she knew that Hegi should win. He had always been stronger, may not faster, but more in control with his chakra. Fortunately for Nayru, her father prepared for her a gift of surprise. She never got to use her jutsu she learned from her father in front of Hegi. The fight ended up in a craze, edge on seat spectacle. Neither will faltering, no one giving up. The fight ended with both on their knees. Nayru felt a tremble in her body from lack of strength and was certain that Hegi felt the same. Finally, after a teeth grinding halt, Nayru collapses onto the ground, naming Hegi as victor. Though having lost the victor spot, Hegi and Nayru were named chunin as well as Cuji. Gen always had next year to perform his best. After arriving home, she was greeted by her walking two year old brother and five year old sister. Bombarded with questions from them both. Later down the week, she was met by Team 5 in celebration. Although young, Hiro had pulled Nayru to the side and told her that he had intentions of proposing to Venn next year, in which she wished him luck.

Year 16: Nayru, recognized by her swiftness, quickly came to reputation of being daughter to Faryu the Swift. Her speed and instincts led her to be one of the best, if not the best, Intel ninja her class had to offer. Being so, the leader of the village, under tight restrictions as of late, had been forced his hand to give Nayru and Nayru alone an S-Rank mission. He would give the mission to a more qualified ninja, but she was the only shinobi available who had the remote skills to pull off the mission. Her mission was to infiltrate a large group of shinobi mercenaries camped just outside the Land of Fire’s borders. It has been reported that they have been kidnapping and slaving traveling merchants and other defeated ninja they find. Once inside, she needs to find evidence of the rumoured trafficking. If she becomes known to be a spy, she will more than likely find herself in the same predicament. Or worse. Understanding her mission, she quickly packed her required things and said goodbye to her friends and family. The mission should take a week or two, so she made sure to prepare farewells for everyone. Her family, Team 9, and even Team 5 was there to spread farewells. Her travels there were uneventful yet unnerving. Nervous about failing, she simply psyched herself to the point of failure as not an option. After arriving, Nayru quickly stopped shortly before to scout the area before hand. Looking around, she can see a large encampment of people, hundreds of them, all looking as if they were rogue ninja. Though one or two she could take care of, the sheer number of them would easily apprehend her. Spending a day or two on the outskirts of the encampment, she quickly made her outfit appear more ‘for hire’. Squeezing into the encampment as one of them worried her the most. All she needed was one person to call her out and she was through. She sighed a deep breath and quickly darted her way stealthily through the gates of the encampment. Finding herself inside with little trouble, she began to wander around, looking for a place that seemed natural for her. Quickly, she was approached by a ninja who was taller than her. He seemed to have suspicions, but with a quick tongue, she was able to convince the man that she was a new recruit. As a ‘new recruit’ she was given a fair amount of the menial chores. A week into pretending, she was able to make her way into the small area with where the prisoners were kept. Talking to one of the prisoners, she found out his name was Dinosel Ryu, a traveling shinobi who was unfortunate enough be caught by the rogue ninjas. Sooner than later, Nayru was quickly caught conversing with the prisoner, but instead of being punished, she was instead mistaken as a prison keeper and was designated over watch of the prisoners as they moved locations. After inquiring why they were moving locations, the answer that was received was that the Land of Fire ninjas would soon discover their location and they needed to move before being found. Nayru had the evidence she needed, but being the over watch of the prisoners, she also had eyes on herself at all times, making it impossible for her to get away. They moved far away from the Land of Fire’s borders, making certain that no Ninja would be able to find them. Unfortunately for Nayru, she was now lost in a realm she was unfamiliar with, with people she knew nothing of. According to her new calculations, Nayru would be gone a bit longer than a week now.

Year 17: After a few weeks of traveling, the camp finally came to a rest. On the plus side, she was determined as unmistakably apart of the rogue group. The negative side was that she was unable to return home. Not only did Nayru not know where to go from this area, but she was within the heart of the organization. Her days now rested as a prisoner watcher as well as interrogator, seeing as how she asked the prisoners questions frequently. She spoke to Dinosel a lot, finding his tales of adventure entertaining and nostalgic. These were the adventures that she dreamed of as a kid, which caused her to want to become a shinobi. Being away from home, she found Dinosel to be that one comfort in the sea of fear. A few months of the same ordeal, the plan of the rogues became clear. They were capturing people not just for slavery, but for jutsu scrolls they might have on them. They were going to use those forbidden jutsu to attack a neighboring land of the Land of Fire. Dressing as ninja from the village Nayru was from, they would attack and have her village take the blame for it, possibly causing a war. Nayru was only there for confirming the existence of captured shinobi, she wasn’t prepared for this. Knowing that they were close to doing what their goal is, she would have to act quickly. If she became known, it all would be over. She looked around the encampment and eventually found their storage of jutsu. Spending a month planning on their removal, she eventually and successfully removed the most of them by a simple fire. Unfortunately, the burning of the scrolls caused the leaders of the encampment to know of an infiltration, and began interrogating everyone. Luckily, she held a higher position, being in charge of the prisoners, but it was only a matter of time before they questioned her and found out her motives.

Year 18: Weeks go by as the rogues came closer and closer to finding out Nayru’s motive. Still considering Dinosel as the only one she could truly talk to, she explains to him, in secret, her situation. Dinosel sympathizes with her, understanding the stress for a woman her age. As expected, it came to a time where she was interrogated and found to be the intruder. They imprisoned her next to Dinosel, removing all items in her possession. Not a week after being jailed, a familiar face showed up. It was Hitomi, her team leader. Having caused a distraction, Hitomi explained to Nayru that because of the move, it took them near two years to find where they went. Fortunately, this was a rescue for her. As Hitomi broke Nayru free from her cell, Nayru also recommended releasing Dinosel. Though hesitant, Hitomi did so. The three of them headed off, with Hitomi as the lead. Leading them back to the village, they eventually reached it, reporting to the leader of the village after the two long years of being gone from home. Both Nayru and Dinosel reported to the leader explaining not only the kidnapping of innocents, but the plot they had to cause a war. Nayru also explained how she took initiative action and removed the forbidden jutsu from their possession to prevent their own action. The leader nodded and stated that he would inform the other nations about the rogue’s trickery and to remove any threat from the men and women stationed there. He then gave Dinosel permission to live within the walls for as long as he needed to recover. After dismissing him, he soon after turned to Nayru and thanked her for her service to the village. Due to her ability on the mission, her endurance and time given, and initiative for further issues, he undoubtedly gave her the rank of Jounin. After returning home, she was greeted with tears and hugs. Namino was thrilled to see her sister return well and in order. Neji, now five, hung back to his mother, seeing as how for half his life, he hadn’t known his oldest sister. Surprised to find it, her father found himself injured from a fall he had, hurting his back and ending his career as a shinobi. He, now, assisted his wife along with Namino in the store, which had grown in the past two years. Nayru was grateful to be back with her family and soon her friends. Within a week of being home, she saw Team 5 again, all of which being Jounin. Venn and Hiro found themselves wed while she was away, and Cuji had his own happiness set for him. Team 9 was thankful to have her back as well. Though Hegi was normally very stuck up, he had mellowed a tad since then. Gen had also grown more powerful. Both of whom also found themselves Jounin rank as well. Nayru quickly became known as similar as her father's title. "The Rapid Ru."

Year 19: Now Jounin, Nayru had no intentions of traveling like her father would. Instead, she wished to become an Academy teacher. With that in mind, she had to undergo training as an Academy teacher. She never minded kids, and enjoyed their charismatic presence. The training was basic and more based around study material and handling of children. While training for it, she ran into Dinosel again, who properly introduced himself as Dinosel “Din” Ryu. He had pointed ears and looked very different than he did when he was a prisoner. They began to converse and enjoy each other’s company, meeting back at the ending of each day. Soon enough, Din explains to Nayru his feelings for her as she does the same for him. By the end of the year, Nayru’s training as a teacher had fully completed. Arriving home, she would sometimes walk home with Neji, who also went to the Academy. Neji finally became comfortable with Nayru and finds her as a shinobi hero, as younger siblings tend to do. While on her off time from study, she still had time to hang with her own friends when she was still in town.

Year 20: Nayru teaches her first year at the Academy. Though the thought crossed her mind, she considered the idea that she might be the teacher of her brother, but he was a year too hold for it. Din still showed up as well, helping Nayru through the rough day of students. Walking home with Din, only to be parted from him at her doorstep. While inside her own home, her father took her within private ears and began to teach her jutsus that he had learned from his father before him. Though she had the basic ideas of how they worked, she knew it would take some time before she would have them down to a tee. Able to watch Neji from a stealthy spot, she could see resemblance of herself within him. He was fast as well as clever. One day, finding Venn, Nayru is thrilled to find out that she will be having a baby girl soon. Though Hiro was on mission, Venn waved goodbye with both hers and Hiro’s thoughts and blessings. Din eventually admits to having to leave town, having stayed for too long. Fortunately, during this time, he proposed to Nayru, promising to be with her at heart. When he was done with his travels, in only a few years, he would return to her and marry her officially. A flustered of emotions filled Nayru, both happy and sad, but she accepted his proposal. Enjoying their final night together, he had to set off on his own mission, promising to send her letters and continue talking to her until the day he could return.

Year 21: Nayru enjoyed being an Academy teacher, this being her second year. It would be lonely to walk home, but she still had her eight year old brother to walk home with. He would talk about his day and brag about the things he had learned. Arriving home, Nayru’s Father had a very important favour to ask of her. He wished to live in the one place he never got to see as a traveling shinobi: The Hidden Village of Roses. He claims it was to be a beautiful land. He loved living here, but he was old and broken. Not being able to move much, he would want to live a land more of sights and beauty. He asked her to take him to Baragakure. Alone, at first. He wanted to have Neji finish school before moving, and it would take a few years for Genoa to move shop. But he wanted to go now, and he wanted to take Nayru with him. Nayru, though questioning his ideas, at first, decided to give her father what he wanted. So long as she could finish the school year. Baragakure had shinobi, so talking to the leader of her village, she was able to transfer her status of Jounin to the new village starting next year. Of course she would write to Din about her moving, so he knew where to find her. Having finished the school year, she said goodbye to her mother and siblings, friends and teammates and began traveling with her father to the Rose Village.

Year 22: On the walking trail, Nayru and her father continued training her in other various jutsus and talked about nostalgia. After arriving, she set up her own home, allowing her father live with her until her mother could arrive and make their own place, a few years later. Receiving letters occasionally from her fiancé, she would respond back with glee. The village had accepted her responsibilities as an Academy teacher and she began teaching the students she received. Nayru would also write back to her family and friends, seeing as how they are, and the like. Venn and Hiro had their child, naming her Almira Haruno.

Summary: Growing up as a child in a loving family, Nayru lived to become a ninja. After her Academy experience, she and her friends grew up together as shinobi, until finally, they became Jounin and began taking their life in their own hands. Nayru now lives in The Village of Roses, teachingthe younger generation of shinobi their works in life.
