Left, right, left. Where is this village? Right, right, left. It's not a heavy parcel so I can't complain. Left, left, right. Damn this forest is tricky. FWOOSH! Finally I am here in the Village Hidden in the Leaves!
Name: Reiko Uchiha
Residence: None
Parents: Murdered
Occupation: Letter carrier
"Yo, My name is Reiko Uchiha, my family was murdered when I was eight by my elder brother so I've been a vagabond since then I am now twelve and my birthday is soon. My younger brother would have just turned twelve soon too though... I became a letter carrier when I was eight and made decent money so I stuck with the job but I've always wondered if there was something to me that I didn't know that's why I practically jumped to the request to go to the Leaf Village, and the fact I haven't been there in four years so no one would know who I am so I am delivering a letter to the head of the village, The Hokage."
THONK!
"OI! WHO DID THAT?!" I screamed as a ball made contact with my skull. I heard giggles around the building.
"Another thing about me. I have advanced senses of hearing and smell for some reason."
I picked up the ball and observed the ball. Small, Rubber, red. Right then a boy looked around the corner to see if I was still there, but all the kid saw was red rubber as the ball returned contact to his head.
"SCORE!"
"OW! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU JUST HIT?! I AM THE HONORABLE GRANDSON!"
"DING!"
I walked towards the kid and said. "Alright you little brat," he didn't like that. "I will apologize if you take me to your grandpa." I smirked at the kid.
The small boy paused, then nodded towards two other kids and began walking with me. Once we started going I apologized.
"So what's your name?" I asked.
"Konoharmaru." The boy said. "And yours?"
"Reiko." I replied.
We eventually arrived at the building and Konoharmaru said. "Well here we are, the Hokage's building." "Thank you for showing me the place." I said. "Hey Reiko can I ask you a question?" "Shoot," "Why do you want to see my Gramps?" "I have a letter for him." I replied and I entered the room. I walked through the building until I saw the door I was looking for. "Ah, I knew you would be here soon." An old man said. I gave him his letter and began to leave. "Wait." The Hokage said. "I already got paid old man there isn't a reason for me to stay." I said. "Tell me young one." I now understand why Konoharmaru hated being called little, it really pissed me off. "It's Reiko." I turned around to get the door but two guys were standing in front of it. My guess would be shinobi from the looks of their clothing. I made a few attempts to get past them but they were good at not letting me leave. All the while the old man was watching me he said "You have good reflexes but they are underdeveloped, now may I finish talking to you Reiko?" "Well you do have guards blocking the door-" I didn't finish the sentence I was hoping to catch them off guard. It didn't work. One of the shinobi threw me over his shoulder and began walking towards the Hokage. I was beating his shoulder the whole way. He put me in a chair as the other guard walked towards me too. Each were watching me out of the corner of their eye's, one of them rubbing his shoulder even though the guy wore armor, which was a good result 'cause I was hitting him with all my might.
Every time I moved or shifted in the seat they flinched prepared to catch me again thinking I was going to run away. "Now let me finish." The Hokage said clearly somewhat annoyed. "You do have advanced skills for someone your size and age. I bet you just gave one of my shinobi a bruise. Now what is your name?" "I told you, Reiko." "Reiko what?" "Reiko Uchiha." Crap I hated telling people about myself it was all so pointless by the time they realized who I was I would be out of the town by then. When I did slip it normally pissed me off. "Now seeing that you are a letter carrier I must assume that you stay somewhere?" The Hokage said. I slouched in my chair. "I don't stay anywhere, all my stuff is in my bag. And that's all I need" As I said that I saw something move out of the window I jumped up, and saw the guard coming towards me. I bent over so he couldn't grab me and I went to the window and opened it. At this point the guards were heading towards me again. I whistled as a guard put his hands around my waist and began to pull as he did a small animal came through the window and I grabbed it in my arms. The Hokage hadn't moved apparently he trusted me, or his guards. The guard put me back in the seat again and I didn't object, they apparently noticed that I didn't care, all I wanted was my dog. The guards didn't take their eyes off of me after that. I didn't care. "May I ask what that is?" the Hokage said his brow furrowed. I looked at him and said "This is Sarae, she's my dog." He nodded and thought for a while. "Now where were we?" the Hokage asked. "Reiko you know that you are a member of this village." I hated the fact that he brought up that topic again. "Now I would like for you to rejoin it." The old guy had a kind look to his face. All I could say was. "I WON'T! I will not return to that damn dark place. I had enough of it awhile ago and now I don't like it anymore! I will not go to the underground hell or anywhere near the place! Besides I don't have a place and like I said I ain't returning to that damned place." The Hokage thought that I was going to break out again, but was amazed when I sat there not doing or saying anything, especially considering what I went through. The Hokage thought for awhile again, then said. "I could let you stay somewhere, maybe here or in an apartment but if you go to an apartment then you'll have bodyguards to prevent you from leaving," Damn, there goes that idea. "So I suppose your staying here." "You just decided for me didn't you, old man?" "I suppose I did." It was then when my stomach growled. Trust my stomach to give right as I'm about to get some decent information. The old guy laughed and pointed towards the shinobi that I had tried to beat to death. "Take her somewhere to eat." "Wait, I still have some questions myself old man!" "You can ask them later." "B-but." He dismissed me, wow that pissed me off more than it should of, I left with the guard following me. Sarae on my shoulder. "What's your name?" I asked. "Kotetsu." The guy replied. And with that I was off to explore to find somewhere to eat! With Sarae and Kotetsu behind me. The other guard had stayed behind.
"Is she the one with the demon-" "SHHH! Yes she is, be careful she has adept hearing. None the less I intend to keep her in the village for a while. I have a new position for her when she turns thirteen." The Hokage said. "Now I have a mission for you, Reiko will need some basics you know." He trailed off and the shinobi knew what he meant, shopping for a twelve year old girl.
MEANWHILE
"SLOW DOWN REIKO!" Kotetsu yelled. I turned around while still running and saw how far he was behind. I stopped running and tapped my foot, he was so slow!
The Hokage was right she does have higher skills than an average student she's only twelve and hasn't hadn't had any real training yet she runs faster than me! Kotetsu thought. Kotetsu caught up with me and off we went again but I was slower this time. Kotetsu sighed and said, "So where do you want to eat Reiko?" I looked around and stopped at the sweets shop and looked through the glass, I was really admiring a particular pastry and Kotetsu saw that he purchased if for me. I was walking down the road after I ate some of the pastry and gave some to Sarae. Kotetsu asked me. "So what is Sarae?" I turned on him and slapped him. "WHAT DID I DO?" "Sarae is a dog." I said I was annoyed that he couldn't see that. "OK why is she so small?" "Why are you so big?" "I grew up." "Exactly, Sarae did not." I stopped in the road and put her down. "Come on Reiko." Kotetsu said annoyed, I noticed this and decided to stay. "I don't want to now I want to stay in the town and play with Sarae." Kotetsu seemed annoyed and he put me on his shoulder again. Now this pissed me off so I started to beat his back again. He eventually released me a little and I took that as an opportunity. I managed to get my footing on his shoulder and I pushed, I did somewhat of a cartwheel and bent over and put Sarae on my shoulder, her rightful place. Me escaping seemed to put Kotetsu in a bad mood. "Jeez I was just kidding Kotetsu." He was still depressed probably thinking "I hate my job, I hate my job." I decided to use my special weapon, I looked at him with my puppy dog face and he warmed up immediately. Jackpot.
Once we returned to the Hokage's place I took my very uncomfortable seat while Kotetsu went to find the other guy. "Now that your stomach isn't bothering you may I offer an account for you to put your savings in?" I nodded it was all I could do. "Do you have any questions as to where you're staying?" "Yea, what's the rule on animals?" The question that decided everything. "We don't have one. But may I ask about the reason?" I explained that Sarae was a husky/wolf mix and that she was outcasted because she had a defect and she didn't grow. And how I saved her from the dogs that threatened her. But that made me think. "I have a question, can I be a ninja?" The Hokage replied. "Yes I suppose you could the exam is soon, you do know that being a ninja is being an assassin right?" "Yes I am aware and I will accept the consequences." I replied. "Do you know ninjutsu, genjutsu I know you know some taijutsu I knew that when you beat up Kotetsu." He looked towards Kotetsu how was still rubbing his shoulder. "Yes I know some and I will prove it someday soon. But I have another question. Is there something inside me?" I asked I was serious and I unconsciously grabbed my chest and stomach. Everyone looked at me. "We will discus this some other time Reiko." That was all I needed to hear. "One more question." I said with a smile. The Hokage seemed tired now. "Ok but this is the last one Reiko." "Ok, where's my room?" The guy chuckled at this, I didn't think it was funny. He motioned towards one of the guards. It was Kotetsu. "Kotetsu you might as well put Reiko's savings in an account." I just handed him the bag after carefully hiding an object I took out. I didn't own much stuff its annoying to try to keep track of a lot of stuff. "And you," he was now referring to the other guard. "I want you to take Reiko to the room where you put her clothes." This was a shock to me but it was unavoidable the old man would catch on soon. I followed the other guard and went to the small room, I put Sarae down and changed to some night clothes even though it was only noon. I went to sleep and slept all day and all night. I didn't think I was that tired.
The next morning four people would meet me.
"Oi, Reiko get up!" someone yelled. "No, leave me alone. I don't wanna." I whined I didn't want to get up. "If you don't get up I will pour water on you." That person said. "Meh." I replied. I would like to see him try. Turns out it was Kotetsu and while he was walking down the hall with the water he ran into the Hokage. "What are you doing, Kotetsu?" "Waking up Reiko." He replied. "Would you mind if I joined you?" "Of course not, Lord Hokage." Kotetsu replied. They came into my room and Kotetsu tried to pour the water on me. Even though I was unconscious again by now. But the water stopped over my head and floated in mid air before disappearing. "I'm up, I'm up!" I was somewhat annoyed but half way asleep to get too annoyed. I scratched my head and pushed them out the door and grabbed a shirt and some pants, I brushed my hair and opened the door. The Hokage was gone but Kotetsu stood there waiting. "Where?..." "He had to go meet someone, come on." I followed him to the room where everyone was. When I went inside I stopped dead in my tracks there were four people, an adult and three kids about my age or something they seemed twelve. I was alert now wondering who these people were. The adult seemed twenty or twenty-five with silver hair, there was also a blonde haired boy with an orange outfit, and a pink haired girl wearing a red outfit, but the one that really got my attention was the black haired boy. He reminded me so much of my brother, same hair color, eye color, and he seemed to wear the clothes that my brother used to wear but it couldn't be him. My mother said on the night I left, "Reiko, don't come back here, I'm sorry but when you return no one will be alive, you however, have to live." "Now let us introduce ourselves." The Hokage said. I snapped out of my trance. He pointed to the group of people. "This is squad seven. They're members consist of Kakashi Hatake." He pointed to the silver haired man. "Naruto Uzumaki." He said when he pointed to the blonde. "Sakura Haruno." Was the pink haired girl. And finally he pointed to the black haired boy that caught my interest. "And this is Sasuke-" That name!? I though before he finished. "Sasuke Uchiha." I was lost I was trying to comprehend it all. But I couldn't say anything. "And this girl is Reiko Uchiha. And she will be tuning thirteen in a few months." Sasuke who wasn't paying much attention until my name was mentioned. He looked at me like I had looked at him. We were all ushered to a table but I didn't move and neither did he. "Hellooo! SASUKE?!" Naruto began to yell waving his hand in front of Sasuke's point of vision. Sakura had caught him and struck him on the head. "CUT IT OUT NARUTO!" Naruto stopped after that. Both me and Sasuke broke out of our trances and we walked to the assigned chairs. The Hokage drank some tea and had a conversation with Kakashi. While Naruto was eating, ramen?" Sakura was picking at her food before eating about half of it. Sasuke ate his breakfast while staring at me. While I just at something simple, toast I think. I didn't look up to meet this black haired boy's gaze mainly because I knew he was my baby brother and I was happy that he survived but also sad. I didn't know why though. Finally the old man spoke up. "Reiko you're going to attend the ninja academy for a period of time, it will all depend on your skills if they are as advanced as I think you should pass easily, once you do you will be temporarily attending with squad seven, and I'm asking that squad seven take Reiko to the academy for her first day of training." What ever I didn't care I wanted to talk to Sasuke." So we set off after a few complaints from Naruto of course. Once I got to the academy I didn't move, as the squad was about to walk off I yelled. "SASUKE!" he turned and walked towards me. "What do you want?" He said he seemed aggravated. "Listen do you- um are you a- well actually." I was trying to word myself carefully. "What do you want? I do not believe you are an Uchiha, you are my age yet I never saw you before." He spat at me. I was pissed now. I felt the chakra flowing and I had activated my sharingan on him unconsciously. He gasped at me. I was stronger than him, he just hadn't learned it yet. However I think I convinced him that I was an Uchiha. "Ok you got my attention what do you want Reiko Uchiha?" he was mad. "Do you have any siblings?" I asked I wanted to hear his answer. "Regrettably, yes I have one sibling though I disclaim him as one." "What is his name?" I asked. He gritted his teeth "Itachi Uchiha." He said. I broke down for a minute. A few tears slid down my face and I though he hadn't seen them but he did. And he seemed worried. "What is wrong?" I pulled out my old family photo, the one with out me, I was never in pictures. The people in it were my mother, father, and my two brothers, Itachi, and Sasuke. "How did you get that?" Sasuke demanded. "Believe it or not." I sighed "Itachi is my elder brother, for some reason I was underground form my childhood. You may not believe me but I have proof, go to your old home, then go to your parent's room, under the closet move the floor padding there will be a door, if you open it there will be a small room. I handed my baby brother a locket I had since I was a child that my mother gave me. All I said to him was "Mother." and I slipped into the academy. I saw out the window, Sasuke put the locket on under his shirt and catch up with his group.
The squad seven split up eventually and Sasuke went to his "old" home did as I had described and I was correct. He opened the door and everything she had described was correct. He pried the locket open and inside it was a picture of Reiko smiling so much he didn't recognize her at first then he saw his parents above her they all seemed happy. This was a surprise. Sasuke had a sister and Reiko was indeed her.
