BTW, I own nothing. Wish I did. Naruto is so awesome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a warm summer day in the Village of Konoha. The children had just been released from the academy and either on their way home or staying after to practice. A blonde girl sat on a swing, her hair flowed freely around her stopping just at her waist. She was waiting for her sensei. She had an upcoming mission and he wanted her to be prepared. She was going this one alone, a private mission, one only she could complete. Most villagers feared her. They feared her, not for anything she had done, the cause was her father. She felt her sensei arrive. He was the most respected man of the village and had been given the name 'Yellow Flash'. She loved her sensei and looked up to him.
"Sensei." She spoke softly.
"You're getting even better. When did you sense me?" He leaned against the tree.
"When you entered the village. You're late by the way." She turned to look at him.
"Sorry I kept you waiting. We'll be having another join us for our training session."
"Who?" Her voice was very dry, she did not like it when her private sessions were interupted.
"You'll see." He stood and turned towards the training ground. "Let's go, we don't want to keep him waiting." He smiled at her and took off.
She followed suit, keep pace with him. She could sense him. 'Great. Sensei has no idea what he's doing.'
They landed in the training area. A 13 year old boy with white hair sat reading a book against a tree. He looked up and acknowledged them both.
"Kakashi, Hatake I would like you to meet Korimizu, Usagi. You two will be working together on this mission."
Usagi looked at him with bewilderment. "Sensei! I was told by Lord Hokage himself I would be going this one alone." She was angry and he could tell.
"Lord Hokage thinks it would be best if you not do this one alone." He smiled at her, she was like a little sister to him.
"He doesn't trust me, does he." Anger flashed in her blue eyes.
"I'm sure he trusts you, he probably doesn't want you to get hurt."
All eyes turned to the new voice. It was a man with long white hair, he was reading an erotic novel.
"Who are you?" Usagi's tone was filled with confusion.
"I'm a good friend of Minato's here." He closed the book and looked the fiesty young girl up and down. She definitely didn't resemble him.
"He was my sensei, Usa. You should show him respect." Minato glared at the young girl, giving her the look only a sensei could.
"Oh, Minato, don't be so hard on her. I am Master Toad Sage Jiraiya." He posed, giving his added effect.
Usagi and Kakashi stood dumbfounded.
"Okay." She couldn't really think of anything. "That's cool that you're a master of toads and all but what are you doing here?"
"Usagi!" Minato looked at her sharply.
"It's okay! She's just being a kid." Jiraiya's voice was light and carefree. "Come here Usa, you and I are going to train." Jiraiya turned and began to walk towards the forrest.
"Go on." Minato pushed her in Jiraiya's direction.
"Fine." She wasn't happy as she made her way after Jiraiya. "But you owe me!"
Jiraiya was sitting by a waterfall meditating. Usagi sat beside him, skeptical as to what was going on. She could barely figure him out. He let out a breath and smiled at her.
"I know you don't trust alot of people and I know why. I knew your father very well and we fought together for many years." He sat his hand on her head.
"You knew my father?" She could only remember glimpses of his face.
"Yes, I knew him. We were two of the legendary sannin." He smiled, thinking about the happier times.
"How, how can you look at me and not think of all the horrible things he had done. The villagers won't say it to my face but. . ." She stopped as his chuckle interupted her.
"Little one, your father's previous dabbling has nothing to do with you. You weren't even born yet. Why should I hold his past actions against you?" His voice was sincere and kind. She was awe struck. "I should have been around when you were younger, but I'm glad Minato was here for you." A saddness invaded his voice.
"Why should you have been here for me? I would have just been a burden. I know what they think. I was left behind by my father because I was of no use to him, he couldn't alter me. I'm better off dead." Tears touched the back of her eyes, she was tired of it all. The anger and fear she felt from the people who were suppose to be her family.
Jiraiya pulled the ten year old girl into his lap. "You shouldn't say such things. I see a great future ahead for you. He couldn't touch you because you are special, there is a hidden power within you waiting to be tamed and released. You're going to be a very powerful ninja. I see that in you and so does Minato." He hugged the small girl tightly. She hugged him back with just as much force, his arms felt like what she could only suspect what the arms of a loving father could feel like.
"Why don't you tell me what you know how to do with your powers?"
Time went on and Jiraiya trained the small girl. When he was not around Minato would train both her and Kakashi, when they weren't on missions that was. Minato had married Kushina and they were expecting their first child. Usagi and Kakashi were both 15 now. Kakashi had aquired a rival he didn't wish for, Mike Guy. He was competitive with everything. The pervy sage trained Usagi in the art of sage mode. She was a quick learner. He sat watching her with Pa Toad.
"Do you think she's the one Jiraiya-boy?" Pa toad sat on Jiraiya's shoulder.
"No, but she is one that is definitely going to be one to help him." Jiraiya smiled up at his student. He watched as something broke her concentration. She skidded down the spike and stopped in front of her sensei.
"Something's wrong at Konoha! We have to go." She teleported herself to Minato and Kushina's side.
The fox had attacked the village and was now trying to break free from Kushina. Usagi dropped to her sensei's side. Her sensei had summoned the Third's own special jutsu.
"Sensei! Please, there has to be another way! Both of you can't leave him. You can't use the Dead Demon Scroll, you'll die!" Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she pleaded with her sensei.
Kushina brought a hand to cup Usagi's tear stained cheek. "Usa-chan, we want you to look after Naruto for us. You are his godmother."
She shook her head no. "I won't do it! You can't leave him alone, you can't leave me alone!"
"There's no other choice. Promise me you'll look over Naruto for me." Minato smiled at her.
"I'll do my best sensei." She hung her head letting the tears fall to the ground below her.
"Take Naruto, I don't want him to get hurt." Kushina was wearing down and running out of energy.
Usagi picked up Naruto just as the fox struck them running them through with a claw. Usagi's heart broke. They had already given Naruto their good byes. She was at the edge of the barrier when her knees gave way. Minato and Kushina had sealed the fox inside of the young boy. Naruto cried loudly, Usagi craddled Naruto closer to her chest. The villagers came running once the barrier was down. Sarutobi-san knelt down beside Usagi and pulled her close to him, trying to soothe her tears.
"Sarutobi-san, nobody cares about Naruto. They're afraid of him. All Minato sensei wanted was for Naruto to be regarded as a hero. They're more afraid of him than anything. It's not fair." She clutched the crying Naruto to her even tighter.
"Don't worry, they'll come to him in time." He stood pulling Usagi with him.
Usagi couldn't stop replaying their deaths. She dreamed every night about how she threw her body onto them and hugged them tightly. Kushina speaking comforting words to her friend. Usagi picking up Naruto as they spoke their good byes to him, watching as her sensei and his wife died protecting their village and their child. He legs giving out on her, sinking to the ground clutching Naruto tightly to her chest. Naruto wailing as she tried her best to console the newborn child. The third Hokage touching the top her head, drawing her tear stained eyes to his. The Third pulling her to her feet and escorting her home.
Fin Chapter 1. I know it's kinda rushed but the other chapters will be a lot better. I promise.
