Summary:
CURRENTLY BEING REVISED
A young wandering kunoichi travels alone in search for her memories. It isn't long before she arrives in Konoha in hopes of finding something there. When secrets start to be unveiled, it become clear that she's no ordinary genin. Having been wandering about alone for a number of years, comrades and family is a foreign concept to her, and the change is something she tries to get used to. However, faces new and old begin to appear as she learns that facing the world alone is not the only path to take.
"When I woke up, there were only three things that I could remember: My name is Riku, I was seven years old, and I'm a shinobi."

Story notes: This is a complete revamp of a much older story, so I hope it's worth reading. ^^;;
Criticism is much appreciated.
You can go full-out harsh and blunt if you want, because how else will you get your points across clearly? ^^
*This story will update on Saturdays until further notice.
**I'm also very new to this site, so if I've rated or categorized this inappropriately, please give me a heads up :'D ***I actually don't know what qualifies as "dark," but there will be some gore. It won't be incredibly detailed, so hopefully it's alright ^^; 1. Prologue by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 1]
(641 words)2. Chapter One: A New Beginning by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 1]
(2774 words)The first few chapters, I think 1 - 10, have been edited so that the Hokage is no longer the Sandaime, but Tsunade. Nothing else about the story has changed. ^^
3. Chapter Two: Back to the Basics by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 1]

8. Chapter Seven: The Youkugan by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 1]
(2518 words)Chapter six is pretty long, so I decided to separate it into two chapters for easy-reading's sake.
9. Chapter Eight: Speculations by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 3]
(1880 words)
10. Chapter Nine: Exchanging Pleasantries by YourIdiotWriter [Reviews - 1] (3569 words)
This chapter is mainly a confusion explanation of how the Youkugan works and a transition to the next event, which is more of a break before the next "arc." I'll be posting an information book thing for this story that will explain the Youkugan, hopefully in a way that's much clearer than the explanation in the story. :'D
