My first Fanfic or whatever and no, I don't own Naruto or its characters blahblahblah you've heard it all before
It's came to my attention someone wasn't aware this story is largely based around an OC and her journeys, while involving characters of the show and working around the original plot she, however, will be my main focus. SasuOC and SasuSaku pairings will both come into play.
Reviews are welcome and criticism is encouraged.
Chapter 1
"There you go, it's a beautiful baby girl" a small nurse cooed, handing the pink bundle to a hesitant mother. She looked onward at the blonde couple with a proud expecting smile, this was the first baby she had delivered on her own, she'd done well.
Her joyous eyes glanced upon the father positioned in the corner of the poorly lit hospital room, his clouded eyes dulled slightly at the mention of a girl.
It wasn't uncommon for parents to be disappointed in the sex of their child but she wondered why his eyes held question as his gaze stay locked to the bundle in his wives arms.
He had cold blue eyes and a stern face that quickly morphed into a disgusted, hateful expression as he looked at his wife.
The nurse's eyebrows pulled together slightly as she glanced at the victim of his harsh glare.
The mother looked down at her sleeping child with wide horror struck eyes, her hands held out the sleeping child arm's length away trying to get as much distance between her and her baby as possible.
"What's the matter? The child was born perfectly healthy" the rosy cheeked nurse questioned completely perplexed.
The woman's teary blue eyes looked up at her with such grief, such disappointment she felt the urge to look away from the source of such morbidity.
"Her hair it's…it's black" her voice was hoarse and anguished, it cracked slightly as her cheeks began to shine with large tear tracks.
"Throw backs aren't uncommon, it could've been passed down by a grandparent perhaps?" the nurse asked hopefully.
But by the look of dread in her eyes and the loud sob that slipped past her downturned lips she knew it wasn't.
Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke had just retired from a boring, uneventful B class mission. Their Anbu masks left at home along with their indifferent façades, the vexed ninja complained of lack of action to one another in frustrated tones.
One riled kunoichi ranted to her team mates
"I swear, if I get one more low rank mission I'm going t-"
"Whoah" Naruto breathed out looking past his Conrad's shoulders.
Sakura, curious, turned to look at Naruto's source of distraction and gasped.
Only then did Sasuke throw a glance over his shoulder.
The crowd of civilians in the busy market street parted like the red sea to reveal a ethereal creature walking, no not walking, gliding could only describe the grace of which this woman moved.
Her long onyx hair was tied into a messy bun with extravagantly long wet wavy pieces clinging to her face and falling out of her hair-do, sliding past her shoulders.
They couldn't see the colour of her eyes from the distance but the rest of her blood splattered face was undeniably striking if nothing else. She had an exotic look with creamy skin, sharp high cheekbones and full pale lips.
The woman stood tall at around 5'9- 5'10 and was adorned in what looked like a modified kimono.
The jet black cloth clung to her like a second skin. She had a plunging neckline and crusting blood coated the white obi tied around her waist, simple, without a bow or design as decoration. The long sleeves remained traditional but the kimono stopped halfway down her thigh to reveal a set of pale legs adorned in crimson liquid.
She was scary, intimidating, but she was beautiful.
I made my way silently to the centre of the city, the Hokage's office.
I was sore and exhausted, pain shot through me in different forms of aches and stings so distracting I almost didn't notice the three ninja pursuing me, almost.
Ignoring the hundreds of eyes following me as my right hand gripped the black material I had used as a make-do bag tighter.
I stepped into the magnificent red building.
The Hokage's small assistant tried to stop me from entering what was clearly the Hokage's room without permission but failed miserably.
Pushing the wide doors open I stepped into the brightly lit room and focussed my eyes on the blonde woman. She sat behind a huge varnished mahogany desk covered in paper work and a few empty sake bottles.
The Hokage's honey coloured eyes looked up at me with angered curiosity noticing the distressed office woman standing nervously behind me
"La-Lady Hokage, I'm sorry she-she wouldn't listen-" the frightened woman stammered but I kept my eyes locked with her golden orbs.
"Leave us Ayane" The blonde woman spoke sternly.
The skittish woman scurried off and the blond woman before me gave me her undivided attention.
"What is it you want girl?" she asked with harsh eyes. I didn't blame her for treating me in such a poor manner, I looked like I had butchered 20 people with a butter knife.
"I'm here to collect a bounty and request temporary stay in Konoha"
Curiosity danced in her amber eyes
"A bounty for what?" she asked cautiously
Reaching a pale hand into my sack I gripped what felt like moist hair and pulled the object out.
"Kisame Hoshigaki's head"
Blood seeped through my fingers, it was still warm.
The three ninja that were previously trailing me then rushed through the Hokage's door
"Is everything alright in here Tsunade Sama?" A Pink haired Kunoichi looked at me with caution before a startled gasp escaped her lips as she took in sight of the detached head that dangled from my left hand.
Silence swept over the room and all that could be heard was the quiet dripping of fresh blood onto the Hokage's worn wooden floor.
The Hokage began shuffling through her drawers and held out a large sum of money.
I walked over to an empty lamp table and discarded the head on that before collecting the money in my blood stained hands and counting it tentative manner.
"IS THAT KISAME'S HEAD!" exclaimed a disbelieving blonde ninja.
No one answered
"Now about you're residency, have you had any previous ties with us here in Konoha?" she inquired
"Yes, I lived here as a child" The Hokage's brow raised slightly at the information
"What rank ninja are you? Where are you allied?"
"I'm not a ninja" rolling my eyes I continuing my money count
Her brows folded together
"No civilian could have taken out an Akatsuki member" she stated stubbornly
"I've never stepped foot in an academy and have had no formal training, I learnt to fight on my journeys, I belong to no country" looking up at her, she was quite obviously mulling my words over in her head.
"Very well. You may stay, however, I would like to place you within a ninja home until I'm sure you are of no threat to the village"
I had no choice, leaving the city so soon would be suicide.
My fists clenched and I gave a curt nod
She then turned her attention to the now composed trio.
I smirked when I caught one of the members eyeing Kisame's head.
"Which of you have a spare room?"
I sized each of them up
The kunoichi of the group had carnation coloured hair that clashed with her red outfit. The girl seemed extremely cautious of me, when my attention directed itself on her the girls mint green eyes darted around the room like a cornered animal.
I smirked
The next was a bronze skinned boy with spiky yellow hair and electric blue eyes. He threw me a wide grin. I then noticed the points on his canines matched the whisker like marks on his cheeks, he looked almost animalistic. He wore an orange jumpsuit so bright I nearly cringed away from it.
I found it careless to wear such noticeable colours when a ninja's goal was to be 'unseen'
And the last but certainly not least
This boy stood slightly taller then his Conrad's at what I guessed was 6 foot 2-ish, he was the epitome of a ninja, dark hair, black clothes, lean figure and cold critical eyes that focussed their attention solely on me.
"I do!" called out the orange clad boy
Oh god no
"Sasuke, how about you, you have the most space?" Her question came out as a statement and I'm quite sure that's how she intended it.
He hesitantly broke eye contact with me to give the Hokage a sharp affirming nod.
Tsunade shuffled her papers and looked up with a smile.
"Good, now that's all settled get out of my office" and with a pleasant grin she shoed us off
I quickly requested this Sasuke boys address and went to leave
"Oh wait! Girl what's your name?" Tsunade called out
"Kira" I replied still walking out of her office
"What's your surname?"
My body physically stiffened and I stopped walking
"Does it matter?"
My question remained unanswered
With hatred and disgust coating the most fowl word I would ever let pass my lips I spoke
"Yamanaka".
