I promised AlphaGirl1711 I would attempt to do this story and please don't judge too harshly. I'm still trying to get a feel for this story.

She's the Alpha

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Leaves

Akira was very lonely. She and her grandmother were the last of the Wolff clan. The rest were killed off long ago by ninjas from Kirgakure, a village hidden in the mist. Her parents had gotten themselves killed trying to avenge their once great clan and enough time went by for Akira to forget what they looked like.

"We shall join the most powerful ninja village, Konoha. They will surely welcome us and treat us with the respect we deserve," her grandmother growled the day she decided they needed to move. The tiny little hut they lived in left much to be desired with its' dirt floor and linky roof. "You'll be able to become a proper ninja and bring back the Wolff Clan's former glory, Akira. And we will get a chance to meet our distant relatives the Inuzuka Clan."

They had packed their meager belongings and began their journey to the Village Hidden in the Leaves! Akira grimaced as she and her grandmother continued to maneuver through the trees that surrounded the great village. The two had been traveling for 7 days without much rest in hopes of getting to the village quicker. The 5 year old resisted the urge to whine about her sore feet and the twigs that kept getting tangled in her fiery red hair. After all, the sooner they made it to Konoha the sooner she would get a chance to make friends! The small girl's eyes began to sparkle with hope and determination as she forced her legs to move quicker to keep up the swift pace set by her grandmother.

In the end, despite her efforts to keep up, she rode on her grandmother's back as the elderly woman began leaping through the trees. Akira could not hold back a giggle of glee as she and her grandmother practically flew with leaves dancing in the air. Sadly, the ride ended as soon as it began because her grandmother did not want Akira to grow up soft. "Too many females never make it far in their ninja career and I refuse to let that happen to you! Become strong to the point you can always depend on yourself. Aim high and never bow to the whims of men! It was the stupidity of men that caused the fall of our once great clan."

Her grandmother went on and on about the uselessness of men until she paused to taste the air. They had finally arrived at their destination. As soon as Akira spied Konoha's gates she could not help feeling awed. 'There must be twenteen people in there!', she thought in amazement. As the two began to approach the gate they were spotted by the guards posted there. Seeing an old woman and small child already had the two men doubting they were much of a threat and allowed the pair through after giving the grandmother information about where to get their paperwork done to join Konoha.

As soon as they were inside Akira knew she had to rethink her estimate. 'At least twenteen-three', she thought with as much seriousness as a five years old could manage.

It took some time before they were comfortably settled and more time before her grandmother got around to introducing them to the Inuzuka Clan. How much trouble could that be?
