Muddled Origin of the Unfading Cherry Blossom

(Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the original Naruto characters. This is a friendly non-profit alternative)

Konohagakure's one and only Yellow Flash and Red Hot-Blooded Habanero sired a baby girl on a cloudless, starlit night. However, celebration for a new life flipped into a bemoan of a hundred losses when the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon—Kyuubi, broke free from its chakra chained prison within the babe's redheaded mother. Together the Yellow Flash, also christened the Yondaime Hokage, and the beautiful Habanero sealed the beast within their daughter, but at high cost of their very lives.

The baby girl was monitored in an isolated chamber. By three she was ready to see the outside world, but the world wasn't ready to see her. She was despised for that night, she was nearly killed because of that night, she was feared because of the beast she doesn't know reside within her; she had nightmares of a large fox with nine tails, and yet she's oblivious to the truth.

She was sad she couldn't make friends.

Until a boy her age found her near a river, and they played together, but the boy's father forbade him from seeing her anymore.

That day she almost had a new friend. That day gave her hope.

From then onward, she made more friends. A man with the scar across his nose gave her money for food. An older man and his beautiful young daughter that ran the stand of the best ramen noodles in the village.

At seven, the Third Hokage enrolled her in the village's ninja academy. She was confident to have more friends, but it was short lived, as kids hated her as much as their parents. Even her sensei hated her. She later accomplished making one friend, then two, then down to one again. There was that boy again, and she felt strongly they could be best friends, but a tragedy banished that chance.

Now the girl was twelve years old, and she hadn't cried since. She craved acknowledgement, to be noticed, and ever since she was seven, she gave up being nice to get it…

A/N: Sorry fellow readers, I saw the need to tweak it a little bit, so don't panic I'm not throwing away the story. I'm nearly done with the first chapter, so it should be up tomorrow.

Much obliged!
