Summary: A child, abandoned in Mist as an infant, grows up alone and depressed, until she meets a woman who is suffering, just like her. Together, the two of them will pull each other out of their depression, forming a bond more powerful than any other, that of a child and parent.
The woman is alone because the people of the village refuse to see her. Why? The answer lies with her son, whom the girl has sworn to retrieve and return to the village of Mist, and restore to his mother. That man is none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, renowned killer, S-Class missing nin, and member of Akatsuki.
The girl is alone for unknown reasons. Nothing is known about her origins except that she was left on the Mizukage's doorstep sometime in her first month of life. Other than that, no clues exist to point her in the right direction to finding her family. However, her appearance, her innate affiliation for fire based techniques, as well as her unique fighting style, may offer some assistance in her journey.
Will the girl find the family she's always wanted? Will the woman ever see her son again? And what is the secret of the Uchiha clan that has been so buried in bloodshed, violence, and hate that even the only four remaining members don't know about it.

Talking, regular text
Thinking, dreaming
Two people saying something at the same time
YELLING, EXAGERATION, KEY WORDS!!!!!!

"Naruto, you dickwad! What the hell!?!?" Sakura's yell of angry frustration could be heard throughout the village. Many, who were veterans and therefore used to the Hokage's apprentice beating the living crap out of the Kyuubi on a regular basis, continued on with their regular routines. One individual, however, started, looking up from her seat at a one Ichiraku restaurant.
This particular person, a girl of about 17 years or so, blinked slanted, black eyes in confusion, tilting her head to the side, trying to decide whether or not the yelling was a threat or not. With a final frown, she returned to her bowl, slurping appreciatively, though with slight disappointment.
'Mist's is so much better.' She grumbled to herself. Indeed, the girl's headband marked her as a shinobi of Mist, though her garb was as un-ninja like as a civilians. She was wearing a black, knee length yukata and regulation black shinobi sandals. Fingerless gloved hands gripped her chopsticks with the effortlessness of long, patient practice. The girl's long, jet black hair, the ends of which faded to a deep, crimson red, was pulled back into a messy bun. All in all, she looked like just another normal teenager, out for lunch on her break.
Finishing, she thanked the old man behind the counter and paid for her meal, before making her way out into the blinding light of early afternoon.
Stretching, she yawned widely, disturbing the furry creature that had been draped comfortably over her shoulders.
"Done already?" it asked, blinking blood red eyes as it, too, yawned and stretched.
"Hai, Sari-san's is so much better, though."
"Do you ever think about anything other than ramen?" asked the creature, seemingly annoyed.
"Hmmm. Sometimes." Came the sleepy reply.
"You do know that you still have to check in with the Hokage, right?" asked the creature.
"Yeah, Ita, I know, I know. Jeez, you'd think I was here to start a war." Said the girl, sighing in slight frustration, walking at a leisurely pace towards the Hokage Tower.
X-X-X-X-X
"Naruto, I'm not one to complain…too often…but why in hell did you feel the need to piss Sakura off TODAY!?!?!?!?" Yelled Tsunade, glaring daggers at the blonde as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Aw, come on, Tsunade-baa-chan. Sakura-chan already yelled at me once today. Can't you lay off a bit?" came the whining reply.
"No, Baka! Gaara-dono will be here tomorrow for the chuunin exams. I NEED Sakura there as my apprentice. She won't be at peak performance if she's pissed off at you!"
Several more moments of incessant ranting continued until Shizune stuck her head through the door.
"Hokage-dono, there is someone here to see you…from Mist." She said, glancing between a bruised Naruto and a glaring Tsunade.
"Fine," grumbled the Hokage, sitting back down in her chair. "Send him in."
"Uh, 'she', Tsunade-sama." Shizune corrected quickly, scurrying out the door. A moment later, a girl appeared at the doorway, just in time to come eye-to-eye with Naruto, who was on his way out. For a fraction of a second, the Kyuubi thought that he was looking at Itachi. Indeed, the deep lines running across the girl's face resembled the elder Uchiha's, and her eyes were slanted the same way, but the air about her was different. Less bloodthirsty, but no less powerful.
He gulped, staring into those bottomless, jet black eyes. Then, for a single moment, a fraction of a breath, her eyes flickered. Naruto's own eyes widened as the girl's flashed from black to a deep, rich crimson.
X-X-X-X-X
"I'm just telling you what I saw!" Naruto yelled indignantly. He glared at Sakura, Kakashi, and Jaraiya, who were all looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.
"It can't be. Naruto-kun, Itachi-san wiped out the Uchiha clan. Have you forgotten that?" Sakura asked the fidgeting blonde.
"No," he said, turning away from them, a dejected look crossing his face.
"No." he said quieter, barely under his breathe.
X-X-X-X-X
"Well, that went better than I thought it would." Said Ita, still curled around the girl's neck like a scarf.
"Yeah, well, I didn't expect it to be that easy, either. I wonder how I can get hold of those records. Hmph. He sure is a pain to track down."
"How long have we been looking, now?" asked Ita sleepily.
"Hmmm. Going on 2 and a half years now."
"It's been that long!"
"Yeah," said the girl, chuckling softly to herself, looking up at the darkening sky, dusk settling over the Village Hidden in the Leaves like a blanket over a sleeping babe.
"It's been 2 and a half years since she died. But, hey, I promised."
"Is it worth it? Bringing him back to nothing but a grave?"
"Yeah. To me, anyway. I promised I'd bring him back, and I never go back on my word."

Translation Notes:
O-(XXX) – adding the "O" at the beginning of a title, name, or honorific adds another level of respect towards the addressed.
San – most common of honorifics, equivalent to Ms. or Mr.
Chan - used to refer to small children and/or girls and women.
Kun – a relatively informal honorific used primarily for boys, It is used by persons of senior status in addressing those of junior status, by males of roughly the same age and status when addressing each other, and by anyone in addressing male children.
-bo - An honorific ending for boy's names that mostly indicates cuteness.
Baka - idiot
O-nii-san/chan – used to refer to an older brother by both younger brothers/boys and sisters/girls.
Aniki – used to refer to an older brother by a younger brother/male.
Toto-kun – used to refer to a younger brother/boy.
O-nee-chan/san – used primarily to refer to an older sister by both younger brothers/boys and sisters/girls.
(o)kaa-san (mother) or, more informally, (o)kaa-chan (mum, mom).
(o)tou-san - father
Baa-chan/sama/san – used to refer to an older woman; grandmother.
Senpai/Sempai – used by lower classmen or those who have less experience to address upper classmen or those who have seniority in the workplace.
Kohai – the reverse of Senpai/Sempai, Kohai is normally used to refer to junior classmen. When used by itself to address someone directly, it can be quiet rude.
Sensei – used to address teachers, practitioners of a profession such as doctors and lawyers, politicians, and other authority figures. It is used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill.
Lemoto - is an even more polite version of sensei used for the highest ranking person heading a school or group in traditional art forms such as calligraphy, flower arrangement or tea ceremony. It is not authentically used with the martial arts.
Sama - is the formal version of san. This honorific is used primarily in addressing persons much higher in rank than oneself.
Shi - is used in formal writing, and sometimes in very formal speech, for referring to a person who is unfamiliar to the speaker, typically a person known through publications whom the speaker has never actually met.
Dono/Tono - roughly mean "lord" or "master".
[blank - Omitting a title when addressing or referring to someone is called yobisute. Although yobisute is generally considered bad manners, in Japanese conversations, it is probably the most significant difference between English and Japanese social behavior. A person most often has to earn the right of being able to call another by name (with no honorific). If they use no honorific, and have not earned the right to do so, it is considered extremely rude. Using no honorific when one is expected can also be an expression of contempt.
