Rei has one thing on her mind: to save her village. But things always tend to get more complicated in the Leaf Village. Rei is originally from the Sound Village but she moves to the Leaf when she was young. She becomes a ninja, hoping that she so can save her village and put an end to Orochimaru's cruel experimentations. But then she meets Shikamaru, and suddenly her task isn't so black and white anymore. Is her home with the Sound or the Leaf? **the story starts during the Chunin exams. I made their ages 16-17. The plot begins to follow the anime but then slowly drifts away into its own thing...you'll see **CONTAINS SMUT BUT IS EASILY AVOIDABLE!!! I put all my smut scenes at the end of the chapters and insert a warning prior to the scenes, that way it is easily avoidable. Read until you see a warning, and then skip to the next chapter :) Start: 7/25/20
