What they don't know is the truth behind those her red crimson eyes and her dark past lays loneliness and sadness. Could Naruto seen behind those red crimson eyes of hers?

Prologue:
"Hmmm~ this one look tricky…" hummed the eighteen years old blonde, Uzumaki Naruto who was reading the Forbidden Scroll inside the Hokage library. You must be wandering how he gets there? Well, it all started when he had a day off after his last mission and he was bored to death. So he decided to quietly sneak in to find the coolest jutsu scroll so he could practise it alone. He sighed and closed it to looks for another one.
"Where did that old hag keep the cool scroll?" he wondered and kept searching for it. Maybe it's behind there. Nah, why would she keep the scroll behind those old sake bottles? Pftt… right? Suddenly he tripped and cause the scrolls accidently fell from the shelf and crashed on top of him.
"Owww…." He moaned in pain as he rubbed his head to ease the pain, "I hope nobody heard that one"
He sighed in defeat and started to pick up the fallen scrolls from the ground before anyone know about it. Suddenly something caught his eyes. A red crimson old scroll with a weird symbol on it. Probably a Forbidden scroll. This caught the blonde attention. He picked it up and slowly opened when suddenly an angry Tsunade burst through the door.
"UZUMAKI NARUTO! CARE TO TELL ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" barked Tsunade at the brat. Naruto gulped and grinned sheepishly as he hid the scroll behind his jacket, "T-Tsunade ba-chan?... erm… I-I was walking you see…. Then I heard something and…"
"LIAR!"
Naruto smile sheepishly at the word as he scratched behind his neck in nervous gesture. WOW! Now he knows how Kakashi feel like. Damn it! He must be getting it for him somehow. Oh well~ like sensei like student, he always say. He sighed in defeat and hung his head, "Alright~ you caught me. I was searching for some scroll to practise on"
Tsunade sighed in defeat and pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration, damn headache wouldn't disappear again, especially when you dealing with the number one knuckled head in Konoha "Whatever, get out of here and I'll act like I never see it understood?" she asked firmly, using her superior tone against the brat. Naruto nodded viciously and dash out of the library in a flash. Ah~ Konoha Yellow Flash son. How predictable~ Tsunade sighed and turned away, "I really need sake right now"
He quickly closed his door and slumped down in exhaustion; lucky the old hag didn't manage to call her ANBU and haunt him down. Or else, he would be in DEEP trouble. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and slowly pulled out the scroll behind him to take a closer look. It was the red crimson scroll he found earlier.
He took it and examined the scroll carefully, "I wonder what it's about" he murmured softly and slowly opened the string that tied onto the scroll. He slowly opened it and read it slowly. The writing was so hard to read and there were even blood splattered onto the scroll. These send shiver down the blonde spine but he totally ignored it as curiosity beat the best of him.
"It's about the Legendary Death Goddess. A beautiful young maiden who had been cursed due to her father who make a deal with a demon for more powers for their clan, the Uchiha clan" Naruto eyes widen at the words, 'Uchiha? Isn't that Sasuke's clan?' he thought and continued to read it out loud for him to hear it.
"Hmm… It all started to during the First War of Shinobi between the First Hokage with the Famous Uchiha Madara. At that time, a baby was born in the Uchiha estate. A baby girl name Uchiha Hikari, daughter of Uchiha Madara. After hearing that Uchiha Madara had lose, they put a seal on his new born girl as a reminder that she was cursed because of her father crimes and had been banished from the clan forever…" he whispered as his heart clenched tightly inside his chest, sympathy for the girl's fate which remind him of his own. He gritted his teeth in anger; she was a baby DAMN IT! It's his father fault NOT her! STUPID CLAN! He snarled and continued his reading.
"However it had been said that the First Hokage himself had took her and raised her up as his own daughter. After several meeting between him and the Uchiha clan, the decision had been made that the girl wouldn't be carried the Uchiha name and would remain as Hikari. The First Hokage accepted it continued to raise her up. Among the years, she had grown into a beautiful and fiercest kunoichi in the Shinobi World. She had been genin when she was five, chunin when she was ten, jounin when she was twelve and an ANBU when she was thirteen. This had made her entitle the Red Rose of Konoha due to her physical appearance that change due to the seal that locate behind her back. She had long red scarlet hairs that the resemble the blood that she shredded during her battle, white pale smooth skin that resemble the Goddess and a pair of permanent red crimson sharingan eyes, a prove that she once in the Uchiha clan" he murmured and stopped as he heard his stomach screaming for food. He smile sheepishly and pat his stomach, "Ah~ don't worry boy. We will feed you in no time" he grinned and got up to prepare himself a bowl of ramen for dinner as he placed the scroll on the table.
'I'll read it tomorrow' he thought and continued to do his chorus inside the house. On the side of the country, a glimpsed of red scarlet hairs dancing into the mid-airs could be seen as the shadow figure sat on top of the tree branch, surrounded by the darkness as it look towards the Konoha main gate in sadness. Tears fell down through its pale cheek as it gazed towards the blue sky.
"I'm home…"
