The girl walked through the crowds with ease, her hands moving unseen by anyone. She heard a scream, and grinned mischievously, as she pulled out a wallet, and scanned through the contents.

"Hm... Let's see... bills, bills, and bills, lots of food coupons, a golden ring, and a silver pendant. Not bad, tashikani," she muttered, as she took out a ramen coupon and entered a ramen shop.

"Miso, tashikani," she said, putting the coupon on the counter, and sat down.

"You know, maybe I can work here for the rest of the day? I have nothing to do, anyways. That, is if you don't mind, tashikani," she asked, smiling innocently at the ramen shop owner, as the food was served.

He nodded his head. "Of course you may. It's not everyday I can get some help. I'll give you 2500 ryō when you're done. What d'you think?"

The girl grinned. "Deal. The name's Akai."

| * | * | * | * | * |

After a few hours of working at the ramen shop, Akai had successfully managed to pocket roughly 1800 more ryō from people paying for their bowls of ramen, and that wasn't counting the money that the shop owner said he was going to give her.

"I better head out of here, tashikani," the blue haired girl said to the ramen shop owner, who nodded with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for helping me today, I really appreciated it." The man placed the money in Akai's hand, and the girl couldn't help but smile as she looked at the shop keeper.

"No, thank you, sir," she said, the same cheeky smile on her lips as she exited the ramen shop, beginning to count all cash she had gained for the day.

"I feel as if this was a very successful day, tashikani!" Akai said, pushing the money into a small pouch on the side of her leg as she walks through the crowd of people. She stopped in front of a random house, and used an old hairclip to unlock the door. Entering the house, she ran upstairs, bursting into random room.

"Woah! King-sized bed, a large wardrobe, bathtub and warm shower! Cool, tashikani!" she cheered, as she threw her body onto the bed. She fell asleep soon after.

| * | * | * | * | * |

Akai laughed, quickening her pace. The house owner had found her while she was rummaging through the wardrobe for a new shirt to wear, and now he was chasing her.

And he's a shinobi. An angry, pissed jounin. However, as always, she enjoyed the thrill.

"You can't catch me, tashikani!"

"What to use..." she muttered, looking around. Her eyes lit up in recognition. "Ha!" she cheered, as she caught a flying pamphlet. She turned to the man, and her fingers moved fast.

In a blink, a paper plane hit his eye. "Gotcha, tashikani!" she exclaimed, laughing harder, as she exited the gates. Half an hour later, she dropped her body onto the ground, panting heavily. "That... was fun... tashikani..."

She smiled as she saw large gates not far from her place, with the large kanji of fire on it. "Konoha? Sounds fun, tashikani." She approached the gates, and entered the village, sneaking up behind the two sleeping guards.

As quietly as she could, she began to rummage through the guards' belongings, quickly pocketing a few random things that included a handful of ryō, a few weapons that she could possibly trade in for more cash, and also some sake coupons.

Once she was happy with what she got, she moved away from the guards and 3ntered the town. Her sly body moved through the people of the streets, her eyes roaming around to find anything that could possibly be of use to her.

With a smile on her lips, Akai placed her hand on the pocket of ryō she had, very much enjoying the feeling of the extended pouch. It has been two very successful days for Akai, and she could tell that this Konoha place could have a lot of potential for her plans.

"Now now now, where to start, tashikani..." the blue haired girl spoke to herself as she glanced around at the town, trying to eye down her next victim.

A man with gravity defying silver hair walked by the blueette, and her eyes lit up as she noticed a certain orange book sitting in his pouch.

"That's the only one I haven't read so far, tashikani!" she whispered to herself, before her feet began to carry her towards the silver haired man, her mind attempting to come up with a plan to get the book from this mystery man.

She approached the man, biting her lip. Slowly, her hands sneaked to the man's pouch, and she gripped the book. She was about to pull it out, when someone grabbed her wrist tightly, until it cracked.

"Excuse me, but what are you doing, Miss?" the man asked from behind his mask.

Akai scowled. "I get it, you love this book a lot, but you don't have to break my wrist, tashikani." She replied with a sigh.

The man raised an eyebrow. "Forgive my reflexes, then."

The girl scoffed. "You shinobi are all the same. Hurting the innocent ones, then you say that it's not like you want to do it, tashikani."

"I'm sure you're not innocent, young lady. Now come with me." Akai's eyes twitched, as she felt the man dragged her away.

"You know, I don't really want to do this, Mr. Cocky-Ninja, but I don't want to be brought to whatever place you're heading to. Sorry, not sorry, tashikani."

As the shinobi turned at her, she grinned, before she opened her mouth, and screamed.

"AAAHH!!! HELP!!! THIS PAEDOPHILE IS TRYING TO KIDNAP ME! PLEASE, ANYONE, HELP ME!"

His eye widened as the crowd started yelling and lunged at him.

And in less than a blink, the girl's gone. Along with his orange book.

| * | * | * | * | * |

Akai chuckled, as she entered a small bar, her book in her hands, her eyes locked on it.

"Two bottles of sake, tashikani." She ordered, putting two sake coupons on the counter, which actually belongs to the gates' guards.

"You are underage, kid. Get out." The bartender replied.

"Aww, come on... Give me the sake, and I'll give you... These." She said with a pout, as she pulled out a gold ring and a silver pendant.

The bartender narrowed his eyes, before he let out a sigh. "Fine." He grunted, as he snatched the accessories from her slender fingers, and gave her the request.

She was enjoying the drink, when someone slammed his fist on her table. She looked up, and instantly choked on her spit.

It was the 'oh-so-familiar' silver haired man.

"... Sh*t, tashikani. Hey, Mr. Pervert-Shinobi, may I just go home? You can get this one." She muttered, pointing at the other bottle of the sake.

The man shook his head, as he put chakra cuffs around her wrists.

Fortunately, just before he teleported her away, she managed to grab her last bottle with her teeth.

The Sandaime was startled by the sudden 'poof' in his office. The smoke cleared, to show Kakashi, with bruises, and a blue-haired girl with a bottle of sake in font of her mouth, while her hands were cuffed.

"What is this, Kakashi?" The Hokage asked, holding back a chuckle. The sight is ridiculous.

"Excuse me, sir, but I brought this... criminal."

At the last word, the girl throws away the sake bottle, hitting Kakashi's shin, causing him to groan in pain.

"I'm not a criminal, tashikani! I never kill anyone! Unlike you!"

"But you broke laws." The Hokage stated, "You hurt one of my shinobi, you drink sake while you were underage. I'm sure-"

"Lord Hokage! Someone has infiltrated the village!" It was the two guards at the gates. They bursted into the room, panting heavily.

"And they stole our stuff, too!"

"You two were asleep. Why would I bother waking you up? Besides, those sake coupons have some use, too, tashikani." Akai commented, frowning, "Shinobis really are idiots."

The Hokage gave a large sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose for a second, listening as the two guards because to shuffle around awkwardly, slightly embarrassed of the fact that they had been caught sleeping by a child, and robbed by her.

"What is your name, child?" The Hokage asked, and Akai rolled her dark grey eyes.

"As if I would tell you, tashikani!" Akai said with a sigh, narrowing her eyes into a glare as she glanced from the Hokage, to the white haired ninja, and then towards the two guards.

With a sigh, The Sandaime glanced at the two guards of Konoha with a stern look. "Go get Ibiki. Now." He said, his voice just as stern as his look.

"Hai!" Izumo and Kotetsu yelled in sync as they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"If you will not tell us our name, will you tell us where you are from?" The third asked.

The girl once again rolled her eyes as she starred at The Hokage. "Yeah, right after I return everything I've borrowed, tashikani." She said, the sarcasm in her voice basically dripping to the floor.

The white haired ninja standing beside of her glanced down at her, and quickly smacked the back of the young girls head.

"Ow, what the heck was that for, Tashikani!?" Akai screamed out as she went to rub the back of her head, but the chakra cuffs stopped her from doing so.

"Stop disrespecting the Hokage. He is much higher up than a criminal like you."

If it was possible, steam would have been blowing out of the blue haired girls ears by now. She turned her body slightly to look up at the shinobi with her eyes narrowed. "I am not a criminal! I have never killed anyone for no reason like you have!"

"I have a feeling you strongly dislike Shinobi child. Why is that?" The third asked, and Akai went to open her mouth to reply, but quickly slammed it shut. It wasn't worth going into to.
