Jirouto: Hey guys! Jirouto here with a Naruto story... wow lol. I have been having some ideas lately that I just needed to let out somehow. Reading various Naruto fanfics didn't help much either. So, here you go. This is indeed a story with my very own OC! Just to let you know, I'm not much of a writer so I'll do the best I can. Anyway, let's move on with the story! Sasuke, would you give the disclaimer?

Sasuke: ….

Jirouto: Duck-Butt, do you want me to get Sakura?!

Sasuke: *groans* Jirouto does not own Naruto. Otherwise Sakura wouldn't be so useless...


So Long, Apathy

Prologue: Enter, Sari Koizumi!

Sora Koizumi paced around the room, a worried expression planted on his face. His wife, Hikari Koizumi, was located in another room. She was currently giving birth to their son.. or daughter, he didn't quite remember the gender the doctors told them. That was if they even told the duo at all. The leaf jounin winced every time he heard his wife's screams of pain. They wouldn't let him inside due to how anxious he was acting. Well, who wouldn't be? He was about to be a father for crying out loud! Sora stopped walking around aimlessly and took a deep breath. 'Everything is going to be alright. She's in good hands.. and soon enough... we'll be parents!' He thought. Suddenly, the screaming came to a stop. The door beside him had opened with a "click", making the man turn in it's direction.

"Sora-sama, you may come in now," the nurse said quietly. Sora curtly nodded and walked into the room, the nurse already moving out of his way. He could practically hear his own heartbeat with every step. Sweat was running down his forehead, trickling down to his chin. The raven haired shinobi looked over to the bed his wife was laying on, his eyes widening in shock. Hikari was pale, deathly pale, and her normally bright green eyes were somewhat dull. However, there was a small bundle of cloth in her arms with a small amount of raven hair showing. Sora rushed to get beside the bed, still looking shaken up. Once he was next to her, the man peeked at the small body in her hands.

"You know," Hikari whispered, "She has your eyes."

He nodded dumbly, "I-I... I suppose she does," he replied. The fact the baby was a girl mildly surprised him. Sora felt a bit guilty, but he was silently hoping for a boy. "What should we name her?"

His wife looked forward, obviously in deep thought. A few seconds passed before she peered back up at him, her signature smile in place.

"How about.. Sari," she suggested. 'Sari Koizumi... it has a nice ring to it.' Sora thought. He smiled back at her and gave another small nod. He slightly jumped once Hikari begun coughing, hacking to be more precise. The jounin was sent into a small state of shock after seeing exactly what she was coughing up.

"Quick! Someone get me more nurses!" the doctor called out. The others immediately followed his orders and began to get nurses, while two of them went to Sora and Sari.

"Hikari!" Sora exclaimed, one of the doctors was trying to pull him out of the room. The other was already taking Sari from her mother's hands. He stared in horror as the head doctor began to work on his wife, trying to prevent anymore blood loss. As both him and his child were escorted out of the room, he spotted the last words his wife had mouthed to him.

"Take care of Sari... I love you both."


"Tou-san!" a little girl, around the age of 4, exclaimed. She was jumping on top of a larger body that was sprawled out onto a couch. The figure groaned, obviously still exhausted from an earlier mission.

".. What is it Sari?" Sora questioned.

The girl, supposedly named Sari, sent a cheesy grin at him. "Today's the day you promised to train me! Remember? You said you would show me some Raishon jutsu!" Her father chuckled at how she mispronounced the word.

"It's Raiton not 'Raishon', silly," he began while lifting her off of him, "And what happened to those taijutsu exercises I gave you a few days ago?" Sari pouted at him as she was placed onto the carpet in their house. She crossed her arms and sent him one of her annoyed looks.

"I finished them already! I told you that yesterday.. Tou-san you aren't getting old are you?" she asked innocently, her head slightly tilted. Sora's eyebrow had twitched at the comment, but he released a deep sigh. It would be best not to let out any anger onto his daughter, especially when she's so excited. He put a hand onto her hair which was put into a messy ponytail.

"Alright. How about you go on ahead in the back while I get ready?" he suggested. His daughter's cerulean eyes, similar to his own, began to sparkle with joy. She took his hand off her head before giving a tiny salute and trotting off to the backyard. Sora released yet another sigh as he felt a silly smile coming on.

"Hikari.. why did you leave me with a mini you?" he asked out loud. The man slowly got onto his feet and followed the path his daughter had taken...


Jirouto: Done! Don't worry guys, this only the start. Heck, it's not even chapter one yet! I'm going to start from the very beginning to where Sari didn't enter the Academy.. and then slowly get up from there. Did you guys like it so far? Any suggestions? No? Kay. I'll see you people later then. Sasuke! Say bye!

Sasuke: ….

Jirouto: *grabs one of his bangs* Say. Bye.

Sasuke: .. Hn... Bye.

Jirouto: Good boy!
