She looks up at the dark sky. Red Chacra floated around. Howl from her little brother nearly destroyed her eardrums. She still had kunaien in her hand. The blood glistened in the moonlight from the blade. The body shaken and was in shock. It was not that an eight-year-old girl should be able to kill, but it had happened. Quickly also. She did not think about it right then, but now she trembled. Her parents were gone, she had her newborn baby brother in the arm, and had stabbed a man named Madara and killed him.

"Hoshiko, I do not think it's a good idea," said Sarutobi.
"Why not? I've already killed a man, protected my little brother. I may be only eight years old, but I can read and write. If the two of us could live under your protection until we both have gotten us a job, it would be great. All you need to do is make sure we get the money so I can fix the rest, "said Hoshiko and held little baby Naruto in her arms. Sarutobi did not look totally satisfied, but that there was no other way out. That girl gother mother's stubbornness.
"Yes, but then I wish that you start at the academy," he said and took out a paper.
"That way I know that you get you work. I know you're a little late and that most of them start when they are five years old, but I'm sure you catch them again, "he said and wrote her and Naruto into the Academy.
"You will start there in a week. Be happy that it's a week left of summer vacation, "he said, smiling at her. She smiled back.

One week later.

Sarutobi had been so kind and said that she could meet up later in the classroom than the others, in terms of Naruto. While she was at school Sarutobi would watch after Naruto until he was old enough to start at the academy. She stood before the door of the classroom. She heard that the teacher tried in vain to make the class be quiet. She lifted her hand and knocked on the door. The voice that told her she could entet. She pushed the door aside and went into the classroom. It was quiet in the classroom and everyone looked at her with wide eyes. Normally she would have been shy, but after everything that has happened, she has become accustomed to people staring at her. The teacher cleared his throat.
"This is Hoshiko Uzumaki. She will be your new classmate so take good care of her. Hoshiko, can you present yourself? "He asked. Hoshiko nodded and smiled a warm smile to the class.
"Halo, my name is Hoshiko Uzumaki, but you may already know that," she said, and the class chuckled, "I was born and raised here in Konoha, I have a little brother, and unfortunately my parents were killed a few days ago," said she said. The whole class looked at her in silence. Many of the eyes showed concern for her, she gave them a warm smile.
"What I like is ramen, people are nice to me, sunny days, friends and my little brother. What I do not like is nasty (in personality) and bad people. "
She looked at the teacher and nodded.
"Hm, yes well. You can have your seat in the back seat to the left, "he said. Hoshiko nodded, went to her new seat and shook hands with her new desk friends.

"Okay, students. In this session we will have a history take up the books."

Two months later.

Hoshiko opened the door and met Sarutobi who was sitting behind his desk.
"Good day Hokage - sama. How is the work being Hokage? "She asked.
Sarutobi laid down the pen and leaned back.
"A little unusual, but will probably get used to it eventually. How is the academy? "
"Almost caught up with the others. There is not much they learn about the first three years, I must say, "she said, looking out the window. The city was virtually rebuilt. The demon fox had not managed to destroy so much. In the last two months, she and Naruto managed well. Naruto was for most of the time in dreamland, and made not so much noise. Then Hoshiko could at least concentrate on her homework. She sighed.
"Hm, is there something wrong Hoshiko?" asked Sarutobi. She looked at him and smiled weakly.
"No, just a little tired."
"Tell me Hoshiko, how much sleep you get these days, you always used to have so much energy before?" He asked, leaning on the desk. Hoshiko puked. She hated when people asked about it. It could always mean that they tried to get them to stay with a family, but she didn't want to, not at all.
"Well, the Academy takes a lot of my energy, but it's not something I cannot master. I am after all, the fourth hokageis daughter, "she said and hoped that he should no longer think of it. He shrugged his shoulders.
"But, Hoshiko you're just a child. Plus, I have already decided that you are going on a special academy in the country by lightning, "he said. Hoshiko felt that she was completely cold. Land of lightning. It was like on the other side of the continent.
"What will happen to Naruto?" She asked, worried.
"He will live under my protection. You'll see him when the time comes, "he said simply and snapped his fingers. An ANBU came from nowhere, and the next moment Hoshiko felt something hard hit her in the neck and everything went black.

4 years later.

The sweat rant of her and her hair wrapped to her neck. She was simply exhausted. Her new Sensei was really tough.
"I think it is enough for today Hoshiko," he said, and disappeared with a puff. She threw herself down on the ground and stared up at the sky. It was gray, and it seemed that it would soon rain. Her gaze swept to the right of her where she saw her old senseis. They clapped, and one of them went over to her. He held out his hand and pulled her off the ground.
"I must say Miss Uzumaki that in these four years, you really improved yourself much" he said and smiled.
Hoshiko looked at the other sensei's who nodded.
"Yes, I have perhaps done so," she said, scratching his head. Both men shook their heads disappointed.
"Hoshiko, why do you underestimate yourself all the time?" asked the other sensei.
"Because, Hoko - sensei in that way am I pretty sure I'll survive until the day," she replied. Some of her smile fumbled. The first sensei (called Jim) put his arm around her shoulders.
"You really miss that little troublemaker" he said.
"You should just have known." They did not say anything in a long time while they went back to the part of the temple that had become an academy. It was a very special academy. At this academy could teach almost the impossible things. The three main goals of those who went there was that they should learn all the five main elements such as water, air, fire, earth and lightning. They should also master the history of the world to the smallest detail, and not at least could more than the basic ninja skills. Those who came out of the academy were often left as monks, but Hoshiko had no plans for it.

4 years later.

Hoshiko was now 16 years old and had the most female curves. She looked at herself in the mirror. Before, she had a long and wavy blonde hair. She had cut it a little further down than the shoulders. The green her eyes looked at the girl who stood in the mirror. After a while they went to the little picture she had in hand. In the picture, it was herself and her mother and father. She was five years old then. Kushina and Minato are next to each other and Hoshiko is between them and laugh. Those active eyes were lighten up with joy. The picture was taken on her birthday in the evening.
She put the picture away. It was eleven years ago the picture was taken. Eleven years ago at her fifth birthday. She took on her purse and left the room. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the birds chirping like crazy. Her feet carried her away as she looked around. For eight years she had been inside the temple's boundaries. And through the eight years she had learned everything she needed to know. Friends, Sensei and enemies that had built up after all these years, she looked at as part of her family. She has gone through a lot of pain, love and hate.
"Hoshiko, wait!" Cried a voice far away. Hoshiko turned around and found her friends ran toward her. The corners of her mouth rose.
"Hey, you guys came for to take some sparring or what?" She joked while her friends were five feet from her.
"Ha, ha, Hoshiko. I laugh myself to death. You can just forget to go without taking leave of us, "said Maya and rolled her eyes. The laughter built itself inside of Hoshiko and let a little giggle come out.
Maya and the others smiled sadly at her. She stopped giggling and looked into their eyes.
They said nothing for very long. The only thing they did was just to give each other hugs.
"Well, I'd better get going," said Hoshiko and waved goodbye. Some gave a wave back. After a few steps, she heard her name being called again. She turned to her friends.
"Remember to visit us, okay?" said one.
"Yes, and next time you see we are going to be as strong as you," said another. Hoshiko smiled.
"Of course, looking forward to next time. See you, "she said, and waved with the whole arm.
When she had come to the door she stopped and looked back to the temple.
See you later, that was all she thought before she went through the gate and started walking back to Konoha
