Disclaimer: I'm only putting this on once so remember it. Me...no...own...Naruto. Got it. Good. On with the story.


"We've got to get her out of here!" yelled Akito Hiroshima as he quickly guided his wife, Haruko and their two month old daughter out of the burning building they used to call home.

Outside, civilians and ninja alike were running from burning buildings. Some simply stood in shock and horror at the terrible demon that had attacked their once peaceful village.

The demon, known as Kyuubi, had been terrorizing villages all over fire country. Many once powerful ninja villages lay in ruins as the Kyuubi's destructive path continued.

"Keep running, we must protect our daughter at all costs!" Akito told his wife as he turned around and ran toward the burning village to fight off Kyuubi. His wife ran towards the woods as fast as she could. She had been badly injured and needed medical attention, but, despite her injury she continued to run, determined to keep her daughter alive.

When she finally got to the forest, she turned toward the smoldering village. Blinking back burning tears, she continued on searching for a place to rest.

Haruko Hiroshima had been running for six days and she knew that she would die if she didn't eat something. The severe leg injury she had received while trying to escape their burning mansion had slowed her down considerably and she was very weak. She kept going though looking for another village.

As she was walking she heard a noise behind her. Then a kunai hit her in the back. She stumbled and fell to the ground, the child falling a few feet away crying loudly. A cloaked figure approached Haruko as she tried to get up. The person looked at her in amusement.

"I thought that you would have been more of a work out, as I can clearly see the Hiroshima clan symbol on your back. This is highly disappointing," he said. He looked at the baby and picked it up carefully. Haruko's eyes widened and she began to panic.

"Please (cough) p…please, kill me (cough) but spare my (cough) daughter," she pleaded tears coming from her eyes.

The man looked from her to the child and back to her. Then in one swift motion he flung a kunai at her. He smiled as he watched it go through her skull and her face twist in agony and then fall limply to the ground.

The child seemed to know something was wrong and began to cry. The man glared at the child but then his face softened as she opened her deep black eyes. He held her protectively and then disappeared in a puff of chakra smoke.

When the man reappeared at Akatsuki HQ, everyone was surprised to see that he was holding a child.

"Leader sir, why do you have a baby?" asked Zetsu as he watched their leader walk up to Itachi with the baby.

"Itachi, I am placing her in your care. She is from the Hiroshima clan. You are to train her. She should be able to join our organization in ten years."

"Yes sir." Itachi held the baby close and smiled as it fell asleep in his arms.
