Silent Shinobi

'Happiness?! Hah! You'll never have a happy ending in your life. Monsters like you don't deserve one.' When Zeri Kazahe was young, she never understood why her clan was so secretive and quiet about themselves - always moving about silently and stealthily, but she followed her parents' instructions without a second thought. Now, she's understood the reason why - to avoid those who hunted them down. Zeri wants nothing more than to be free from everyone who's coming after her, and when she takes that opportunity when Orochimaru sends her to the Akatsuki. Zeri escapes, ending up at the gates of the Leaf Village, free at last , only to be chained down once again when the Hokage makes a deal with her. He will allow her to stay in the village, only if she is put in a squad and doesn't cause trouble. Her mysterious and cold demeanor confuse and intrigue her teammates and everyone around her, and so many questions go unanswered - who exactly is she, and what is the extent of her power? (You'll have to read to find out! ;) On a side note, there is romance in this story haha! And no, I'm not telling who her love interest is :P Thanks for reading!)
