A kunoichi from Konohagakure is sent to Sunagakure as part of an exchange initiative meant to further broker good relations between the two villages. Her appearance, however, alters far more than political ties. Especially considering Gaara of the Sand is already facing an arranged marriage.
Neji Hyūga is spoken for. He's known this to be his reality his entire life. He's to marry as the clan declares it, all in the hopes of passing on his Byakugan to the next generation. But, one night, he hears y/n sing. And he can't stop thinking about their voice. It haunts his every action for days. Weeks. He fears he may go mad if he never finds them.
[Read Premise!] Y/N's family saves them from Kirigakure's Kekkei Genkai purge by fleeing to Konohagakure. They enroll in the academy, unaware that their Kekkei Genkai is far from a hereditary gift; they're the first bender seen in generations. Kirigakure will stop at nothing to regain their lost asset. This is a cross over AU in which the chakra natures in Naruto are based on A:TLA style chakra, instead! It's Choose Your Own Adventure. Edit your element as you see fit (I chose water bending purely because of the ties to Kirigakure). Romance someone! Join Sasuke! Defect to the Akatsuki! The world is your oyster.
