So, I know I've not been as active, but that's mainly because of Work and also dealing with my atrocious home life.

This story is an old, old, old idea that I had back when The Force Unleashed came in, and I was watching Naruto. Yeah, it was a wild time. So, I am doing a new take on it, this was well over a decade in the making.

Enjoy!

A pair of deep blue eyes opened up slowly, painfully adjusting to the sun bearing down on the owner of them. A noise had startled the being to awaken, and they narrowly glared up at the offending sun.

"What on earth happened to you?" A voice asked.

'Probably the same one who woke me up…'

When the being sat up, pain erupted across their abdomen and head, and they let out a wheeze of pain before flopping back down. "Oh, great… Stay still, l can help you." The woman said, and she came over to the prone figure, her hands glowing as she did… something?

"W-Where am I?" The prone girl asked. She could literally feel the blood caked on her forehead and on her body, long since dried up, and definitely from a large wound of some sorts. But the older woman above her was focused solely on one thing, and that was easing the girl's pain.

"Tanazku-Shi. At least a kilometer outside of it, anyways. Who roughed you up, girl? You got a name?" The woman was rather young herself, despite being older than the one on the ground. But her speech was much… older?

The girl shook her head, feeling the dizziness fade away, and she tilted her head over to the woman. "I… I don't remember what happened…" She wasn't very sure of herself. She took an actual look at herself and gasped, her eyes going wide open as well.

Blood, torn clothes, just a bad sight to see. How she was alive was something that even the woman was shocked about. "Kid… do you have a name?"

Blue eyes turned upward, once again finding the woman's light brown eyes were filled with a veiled concern and blatant curiosity. "I-it's…" The poor girl didn't even remember her own name.

'What the hell happened to you, kid?' Was the thought that crossed the woman's mind. She finished what she was doing, and her face went stoic as she looked over at the town. "Alright, let's try something different. Can you walk?"

The girl looked uncertain, but she stood up, albeit shakily and with the help of the woman. "I think I can… thank you." She quietly expressed while she looked to the woman. She was easily eye level with the woman, which seemed to surprise the woman as well.

"You're welcome, kid… Come along, let's get you cleaned up and into some better clothing than these rags." She said as she kept a hand on the girl's shoulder.

It was strangely comforting to the girl.

"Could… could I get your name?" The Girl asked as they walked.

The woman gave a slight snort of amusement. "Name's Tsunade, Kid." Was all that the older woman said.

The girl gave a smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. It was hard to be happy when she didn't know anything about herself, or how she got here. If there was any family of hers, they had to have been worried sick, but what if she didn't? What if she was some orphan dumped off elsewhere, away from anyone who knew her. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Tsunade." She replied, even though she was feeling rather bad she couldn't give her a name in return.

"Uh uh… Don't call me miss, call me Tsunade. I don't need to be feeling any older than I actually am." The woman said with a derisive sigh. "Let's save any more talk for when you're cleaned up, okay?"

The Girl honestly felt that was an agreeable thing. Better off to save her energy for what was to come. She continued to walk with Tsunade, but in her mind she was really trying to figure out just what happened to her and what her own name was. To be dumped off somewhere, left for dead? Part of her didn't believe it at all.

Only time and healing would tell her…

It was dusk by the time they had gotten back into Tanzaku-Shi, and they'd received many a look, most of them in shock or awe at the sight of the Legendary Sanin, or at the poor teenager covered in grime.

Tsunade made sure to let her into the room as fast as she could, startling her appdrentice. "Oi, Shizune! Run this girl a bath."

Shizune wasted no time jumping up and heading into the other room, starting up a hot bath and preparing towels and soaps. She poked her head around the corner, her eyes wide as she looked at Tsunade and the girl. "Tsunade-Sama… What happened?"

"I can't answer that. Neither can she, I don't even have a name for her yet…" she gestured to the chair for the Girl. "Once you have a bath, I'm going to perform some more Medical Jutsu on you."

The Girl blinked, tilting her head. "I-i… what? What's a Medical Jutsu? Is that what you did earlier?"

Tsunade nodded. "Yes. That's exactly what I did…" She sighed before she headed over to a backpack. "Boy, do we have our work cut out for us. Do you remember anything? From when you were a kid, or anything?"

The Girl frowned as she slumped slightly, and then she looked back up at Tsunade. "I… I don't. I'm sorry." She said, lowering her head.

Tsunade moved over and knelt down in front of her. "Don't apologise for something that you have absolutely no control over." Something about this girl… it was different. She could feel it the whole time she was coming into town with her, and it made her a little bit more on edge. She hadn't been bothering to get anywhere close to people, and then here she was, helping a stray.

She put a hand on the girl's. "I will help you. We're going to find out what happened to you, and we're going to find you a home that you'll feel safe in…" Tsunade promised, right as the water stopped flowing. "Now, go get yourself cleaned up. We'll get to talking right after you get done." She said, standing up.

The Girl smiled, before she nodded and then she got up, heading into the bathroom past Shizune, who then closed the door and looked at Tsunade expectantly.

Tsunade only gave a heavy sigh and sat down with a flop. "I need a drink."

"Tsunade-Sama…" Shizune frowned deeply as she took a seat next to her. "What happened to the girl?"

Tsunade looked over to the door, then back to Shizune. "That is the Million Ryo question. Look I have no idea, when I left, I only went to go see what it was that I felt. I couldn't explain it, but when I got there, she was there. Blood was everywhere, but she herself, doesn't have a low blood count nor is she suffering from internal bleeding… However it does not explain why she has so little chakra" Tsunade paused. "She almost doesn't have any chakra at all…"

Shizune blinked. "Okay, she's got almost nothing in the way of Chakra… What does that mean?"

"It means that that girl can't be a ninja, she is far too weak. Even if she tries, it could kill her." Tsunade said.

Any thoughts or words fell silent as they both heard a wailing scream from the bathroom.

Don't hate me for the Cliffie.

I have no real plans on stopping this. I'll do my best to make updates on the regular. Maybe a week to two weeks. I may even churn out fast as I can... But the Girl will find her name soon, she's just gotta sift through memories that she does not remember.

Any questions I shall answer in the next chapter!

Have a wonderful day.
