Hey, my first naruto fanfic, please, reviews are very much appreciated, how ever, don't give me flames, I blocked the last person who did that.

Summary: Hey, me here, yet another story from the depths of my mind... NO! Why do you always run away... this must be what Gaara feels like.

When I was reading/watching Naruto, I really wished that there had been some really bad ass girls their to give him a run for his money. This a story about said bad ass girl. Same events as in the Manga, but with one more character. Her parents where killed, along with the rest of her clan, besides her aunt and several others. She there for has a bond with Sasuke, but she is very different. There are some really funny things that happen, but it's not rated as a humor fanfic.

Hirina Kinara is one of the last surviving members of the Hirina clan, and has a very impressive kekkei genkai. (YOU won't find out till ch. three...) She moves to Konoha when she's 9 and enters the academy. She's put onto team 7 and... things get... complicated... Kinara has disturbingly quick reflexes and is very flexible as well as strong.

Pairings: (This will cover almost everything up until, or after, Shippuden starts) SasukexSakura, NarutoxHinata, ShikamaruxTemari, OC(Kinara)xGaara, KonkuroxIno(?)

I'm kidding, I have no idea what the pairings will be. But, mark my words, Gaara WILL get a girlfriend!

A/N: I'm using dialogue from the manga so it won't be exactly the same as the show. All italicized words, sentences, phrases etc. are the thoughts of Kinara. The first section of it is in 3rd person, then goes to 1st person. This is a re-rewrite and re-edited version of the original first chapter, after receiving some helpful advise from a reviewer (Thank you Elizabeth Fae!) and rereading it myself, I decided to act upon it (and to fix all the mistakes that I only noticed 5 min. ago). mostly everything will be explained in the first 3 chapters (not, that would be boring) about Kinara, except for some stuff that will show up later on. you don't learn about her kekkei genkai (That was how google spelt it, so forgive me if it's differently in Naruto) Also, any swearing that's in the dialogue (Well, at least everything between Naruto and Kankuro) is taken from the manga. I don't own it. It is the property of Masashi Kishimoto and TV Tokyo. and, I'd like to thank manga for the translations!

Kinara's outfit:

despite what you may have heard, corsets can be VERY comfortable. They also help you posture. Follow the link to what Kinara's shirt looks like. only with out the long sleeves. link on profile.


Chapter 1: an uprising

"What! But you said you'd play ninja with us today!" whined a short little boy waring a 6 foot long scarf and green goggles.

"Um, why would a ninja play ninja?" asked Sakura in exasperation. Naruto merely stood there scratching the back of his neck and looking uncomfortable.

"What is it?" He asked her, using the same tone of exasperation as she had used.

"Hey bro, who is this girl?" Knohamaru asked Naruto, ask Sakura looked on with murder in her eyes. A sudden look of dawning realization broke across his face as he looked from Naruto to the pink haired girl. "Oh, I get it... she's your..." his sentence drifted off and he extended his pinky signifying "girlfriend." (Or something much more crude)

"Hehe... you brats are very perceptive..." And that was it for Sakura, she sent him flying, blood shooting out of his nose.

"wrong!" She shouted in anger, no doubt a mixture of pure fury and the fact that she really wished he was someone else... (care to guess? That Uchiha bastard. Right on the nail.)

"Bro!" Konohamaru shouted as Naruto went flying into a wall. "How dare you!" He screamed at a seething Sakura."No! Leader! Don't die!"

"You ugly bitch!" Screamed, turning to face Sakura. Said girl was now beyond anger, and was generating so much killing intent, it was almost tangible.

A snigger, unheard by anyone, was silently uttered.

A girl with deep magenta hair leaned against the wooden wall that bordered the walkway, and looked at the pitiful scene with a board look on her face. She had an angular nose, full, healthy looking lips, and very startling eyes. They where a yellowish brown in the area directly surrounding her pupils, and shifted drastically to a gray tinted blue, that blended smoothly in a green of similar shading, and to finish it, a dark, chocolaty brow on the edges. She was dressed in a black, form fitting and corseted top. (Despite what you may have heard, they are REALLY comfortable!) under it, there was a black skirt, very much like Sakura's, with a pair of white shorts under it. She wore a pair of protective fishnet mesh that stopped just above her knee, and black, very hard soled, flats. On her leg, she had strapped a dagger, and she had a pouch attached to the side of her waist, which held her various basic ninja weapons, kunai, shuriken, darts, and other various killing materials. Her hair, which was a confusing mixture of red and purple, was parted to the side, leaving half of her face hidden. the other half of her hair, that was not obstructing her face, was pinned back with a clip in the shape of a star surrounded on one side by a waning crescent moon, her clan's symbol. Kinara, the last of the Hirina clan.

"Konohamaru-kun! are you alright?" Asked Moegi and Udon as Konohamaru and Naruto sat up slowly, both sporting very large bumps on their heads.

"Damn it... that ugly huge forehead... Is that really a girl? Seriously, boss..." grumbled Konohamaru... before his face turned from pain and anger, to pure terror.

"Gyaa!" (it really is in the manga) Screamed Sakura, uttering the war cry that was probably heard by every citizen of Konoha.

"Ouch!" Uttered Konohamaru as he collided with a tall genin. He was dressed all in black, save for the yellow and purple symbol emblazoned on the front of his jacket. he wore an Arabian head dress, used to protect him from the sun. Though he looked like was probably from a desert village, he was very pale, most likely the work of very carefully applied makeup. The outside of his face was covered in purple angular shapes, most of witch resembled lopsided triangles.

"That hurt..." he said, his voice filled with malice.

"Konohamaru!" Hollered Naruto.

"That hurt, you little piece of shit!"

"Don't, we'll get yelled at later," Said the blond girl next to him, in a calm voice, as if this was a daily was dressed in a light lavender colored dress, that hung off the shoulders and stopped midway. She had under it, as was the case with many shinobi, a gray mesh that covered most of her body, save for the lower part of her right leg, and the top of her left. Both had on headbands that had a symbol it that resembled an hourglass. Sand Genin, thought Kinara.

"I'm sorry... I was just messing around..." Said Sakura, with a look of panic on her face, leaving her sentence hanging in mid air.

"Hey, Fatass! Let go of him!" Yelled Naruto, for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

"Let's play before the boss comes" Pleaded the boy.

"Ug..." groaned Konohamaru, as his disturbingly long scarf began to choke him.

"Bastard!" Emitted Naruto loudly, as he rushed the much larger shinobi. Said shinobi's fingers twitched, and Naruto, who had lost complete control of his limbs, fell to the ground.

"Oh, Leaf genins..." he said with a smirk on his face that would have made Sasuke proud "are weak."

That's only 'cus you haven't seen him when he's pissed... thought Kinara.

Hirina Kinara looked with amusement, then annoyance, as a small boy, was being threatened by a visiting group of shinobi. She didn't have any particularly warm feelings toward the boy, but seeing some complete strangers abusing the 3rd Hokage's grandson infuriated her. Konohamaru was being held by the front of his shirt, about a foot in the air, and the guy holding him was one of the weirdest she'd ever seen. He had purple markings no his face, but that wasn't what had unsettled her. On his back was what looked like a body, admittedly, it was wrapped on bandages so she wasn't sure, but it had hair. Hair. And it was shaped like a fucking mummy. A mummy.

"Let.. go of me..." uttered Konohamaru. Wow, of all the times to forget that he was the 3rd Hokage's grandson, mentioning that might help your situation a lot here, kid.

"Hey, you fat pig! If you don't let him go I'll make you pay! Fat ass pig!" Naruto yelled. Damn it! You IDIOT! she though, but, hey, I would do the same thing, maybe, probably, not really, but still... Sakura was trying (And failing) to keep him quite, she had him in a choke hold, which made his main priority breathing.

"You're annoying," Said the mummy guy. "Basically, I hate midgets, especially younger ones that are rude, makes me want to kill them..." So, is the mummy one of his victims?

Konohamaru's two friends began to cry, and Naruto began freaking out. The Blond girl simply stood there, and said in a monotone voice "I'm not involved," How encouraging...

"You bastard!" Naruto screamed.

"Well, after I'm done with this guy, I'll take care of that other annoying midget." The mummy guy said, clearly referring to Naruto. Kinara began to wonder why no one had noticed her yet, Well, that gives me the advantage, I'll help when they need it most, and I don't have to get involved before that! Great.

"HEY!" Naruto rushed toward the mummy guy and was about to land a hit when a loud "Thwack!" was heard. Mere seconds before, Kinara had spotted Sasuke Uchiha sitting in a tree, preparing to throw a rock at the mummy guy. As much as she she would have enjoyed seeing the mummy bastard hurt by a mere pebble, she hatted the thought of Sasuke getting the spotlight even more. Naruto, though not perfect by any means, was way more fun to be around, and she didn't like seeing him mope because Sasuke had gotten all the attention, as always. She made up her mind, and had, with lightning speed, drawn her dagger from the sheath on her leg, said dagger was now pinning Sasuke's arm to the tree by his sleeve, before he could reach up to dis loge it, she had thrown a kunai on his other. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all said, simultaneously, though with very different emotions ranging from relief to confusion, to admiration, and, in Sasuke's case, to rage.

"Kinara,"

"Miss me?"


Kinara's POV

(Several months previously)

I looked around, the flames had died down, and I could see through the smoke, my eyes had begun to water up, and all of a sudden there was perfect clarity, screams, flames, ashes, and blood. So much blood. There was a group of people huddled up in what was formerly the middle of our town. As I stumbled past what used to be my home, my weak, 9 year old voice called out "Mommy? Daddy? Grammy?" Louder, "Mommy! Daddy! Grammy!" I tripped over some thing, a log? no, logs don't have wedding rings. logs don't bleed. and logs don't speak. Logs can't. But what was this?

"Kinara..." a weak voice whispered. "Kinara, my love?"

"Mommy!" I screamed. I knelt down to look at her. Tears had begun to cloud my vision, but I shook them away, not wanting to lose sight of my mothers once beautiful face. I looked like her, I was told, but I could barely recognize her. She had had my hair, but it was now matted with blood and ash. She had had my fair complexion, but that was now red with tears, blood, and burns. The only recognizable feature on her one smooth face where her eyes. The eyes of the Hirina Clan. A clamy, ghost-like hand encased my heart, and I felt like I was going to choke on the sobs that where racketing inside my rib-cage.

"Kinara, take the ring." She said, her voice cracking at the last word. My hand shook as i reached out for her arm. Her wedding ring. Her most prized possession. "Kinara, I love you..." She said, her voice shaking.

"Mommy! Mommy! Don't leave me! Mommy come back!" but it was to late. Her eyes began to glaze over, and she uttered her last sentence, her last piece of motherly advise I would ever receive from her.

"Kinara... Be strong... You must be strong... I love you... make us proud..."

"Mom!" I screamed as I sat up in my bed. the sheets where, once again, twisted around my ankles, leaving red marks on my skin from where they had been putting pressure on it. Tears where falling fast and freely down my cheeks, like they had been for the last 3 years. Ever since my village was attacked by Shinobi from the Sound Village. How they knew about us, no one knows. We made sure we stayed off the map, due to our valuable Kekkei Genkai, we where slightly paranoid. Only 15 people lived past that night. 15 out of 143. 3 of those 128 dead where my parents, and my grand mother.

For a month, the rest of us kept together. At the end of that month, we all went our separate ways. Word of the Villages destruction was heard over all 5 great nations, and we had taken up shelter in a small fishing town. There, I was visited by some one I never thought I'd see again in my life. My aunt Korina, from the hidden leaf Village. My father's sister. Whom I hadn't seen since I was 4. When she saw me, covered in cuts and bruises from the falling debry, she nearly fainted. People had always to me that I was the spitting image of my mother and my father. I always heard comments like "she'll be so beautiful" and "You'd better keep her hidden away when she's older, boys 'l come far and wide for her, mark me" from my grandmother and my parents friends. All of whom where dead. Holding in her tears, that I could tell she was longing to let out, she knelt down on her knees in front of me and clasped my hands gently, telling me that she was going to take me back.

"Back where?" I had asked, with hesitation.

"To the hidden leaf Village," She had answered. And that was it. I had a new home. my new room was painted teal, and had cream colored trimming. It was like she had looked in side my mind. The room was perfect. Black bed spread, and dark furniture. all fitting perfectly together. And all lacking in the homely and soft feeling that I had grown up in. She had started me at the academy, at the desire or my late parents, and tired to make me as happy as possible. Emphasis on tried. It didn't really work.

In speaking of The Academy...

"Oh Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!" I said looking at the clock. I was going to be so late.


This is my first Naruto Fanfic, and reviews are very appreciated. Thank you!

P.S. sorry if I misspelt anything, but I think I got most of the errors...

-xxPAXxx

also, the ring is very significant, at least, to her back story, that'll be elaborated on in the next chapter. (Chapters come with reviews, Hint, hint)

In my defense, I'm trying, I'm still getting used to this whole fanfiction thing, and I've had it for about um... 7 (?) months.
