Hey hey hey! Sorry that I jump around on stories so much - but I have the attention span of... a small child. I guess. I don't know. Anyway, right now I'm into Naruto - therefore, here is a Naruto story. This is kind of just an introductory chapter, but it's interesting... to me. :D
Enjoy! :3
This whole thing was written several years ago under a Quizilla account called Itachisasuke. It was a complete failure and I was so appalled by what I'd done to Kimi, I decided to revive her and make her at least somewhat presentable to the general public. :) Her background story is a lot more complex and I actually took the time to think things out. ;P
Namikaze Minato is Yondaime Hokage, also known as "that guy who looks a lot like Naruto. Hmm I wonder why."
"Stop! Don't move! I'll..." the small voice hesitated; "I'll kill you!"
Minato turned to see the small girl in the grass, shaking as she held a kunai in her small hands. "Hmm? I'm sorry, me?"
"Don't talk to me like that!" The girl had dried tears on her cheeks and large cuts on her arms. "I may look small, but I could kill you!"
Minato smiled; "Surely you don't see me as a threat. I didn't even see you. I'm Namikaze Minato. Who are you?" She was silent, still trembling. "Where are your parents?"
"Quiet! D..." The girl shook her head, new tears trying to fall. "Shut up."
He made a face, thinking; "Who are you?"
The girl looked to the ground, seeming to decide to give up to the adult. "I'm Kimi."
"Just Kimi?"
She looked indignant, avoiding Minato's gaze. "Saitō... Kimi." Minato's expression went blank at the confession. "I'm from Hinodegakure in the Land of Oceans," she continued, curious about his reaction.
"Well, I'm from Konohagakure from the Land of Fire. How did you get all the way out here? The Land of Oceans is closer to the Land of Mist."
"I know my geography!" she shot; "I took a boat."
"My apologies," he said, smiling again. "So, once again, where are your parents, Saitō Kimi?" Kimi turned her face away from him, pretending to ignore him. Minato looked at the ground; "Well, do you want to come to Konohagakure with me and we can find your parents with the ANBU?" Kimi nodded, walking slowly towards Minato. "Here, let me have the kunai. We don't want you getting hurt... How old are you, Kimi-chan?"
"Four."
Minato sat quietly at the end of the long table across from the Hokage, surrounded by fellow jounin who stared at him incredulously. Kimi sat happily in his lap, her hands playing with the sleeves of the long Komon that hung loosely off her. "Namikaze-san," one jounin, Inkada, started, "who is this child, and why have you brought her to a meeting?"
"Gentlemen, Hokage-sama, this is none other than Saitō Kimi of the Hinodegakure Saitō clan." Minato paused, looking down at the young girl, whose eyes had been covered by a blindfold he'd insisted on. "We met just outside of the village - apparently she took a boat from the Land of Oceans all the way to our coast." He smiled at Kimi, who returned it full-heartedly.
"Why would-"
"Namikaze-san, why did you bring her to Konohagakure?" the Hokage asked calmly.
"Hokage-sama, she has the bloodline jutsu of the Saitō clan - she came here to escape the Land of Oceans and I couldn't just leave a four-year-old alone in the wilderness. You know-"
"I'm aware of the consequences of being alone in the forest, but we cannot have possible safety-risks being taken into our village without proper consultation."
"Sir," Kimi murmured, sliding the blindfold from her eyes. The green irises had melted away into a bright blue that reminded the group of her origins. She stared into the Hokage's eyes; "I'm of no safety concern. I promise - Minato-san said he'll take care of me if you let him. Please? I have nowhere else to go." The Hokage faltered before nodding jerkily.
"Kimi-chan," Minato scolded gently, "you shouldn't use that on important people like the Hokage." Kimi grinned up at the man, releasing the Hokage, her eyes fading to their original spring-green color.
"The Saitō clan have a special bloodline jutsu that allows the member to control the mental functions of any individual they catch the eye of - this includes physical and verbal actions," Minato explained carefully. "Kimi is no exception. As you can see, she is amateur, but can still invade the mind of the Hokage. She is a valuable asset to the village as a shinobi, and, because she is young, she can still learn that the Land of Fire is her home."
"She has one week to prove her allegiance to Konohagakure or else she's going back to Land of Oceans - war or not," Natasuritu muttered, taking over for the angered Hokage.
"Minato-senpai!" Kakashi glanced up slowly as She approached the trio entering Konohagakure. She wore a loose-fitting kimono that dragged behind her as she walked, adding to the childish look surrounding her. A hintai-ate was shoved down to cover both of her eyes, forcing Kakashi to wonder how she wasn't falling over herself; instead, she moved with the grace any hintai-ate would imply. "Minato-senpai! Finally, you're back! Where's Obito-kun?" She moved her head as if looking between the remaining members of the group. "And what's happened to Hatake-san's eye?"
Kakashi scowled beneath his mask at the child - no more than 9 years old - standing before him with a stolen hintai-ate worn improperly - as to impede any shinobi's visual abilities - and her Komon too loose to allow any form of fighting. If anything, she were nothing more than a clever academy student who'd stolen her father's hintai-ate to show off. To continue Kakashi's distate, she'd called his sensei senpai - as if he would ever be lowered to be a childs peer. However, Minato-sensei replied; "Goodmorning, Satu-chan. You're asking a few too many questions at once." Minato-sensei laughed, further confusing Kakashi.
"Sensei, if I might ask, who is this child?" Kakashi murmured bluntly, ignoring the indignant look Satu-chan gave him.
"This is my..." He trailed off as if thinking of what to call her.
"I'm Minato-senpai's best friend!" the girl told him. "I'm Kimi-chan, but you can refer to me as Saito-san."
"I don't think I'll be needing to refer to you as anything at any time," Kakashi muttered in reply.
"Anyway, where's Obito-kun?" Kakashi glared at the girl. She seemed innocent enough, but he still felt enraged as she announced the name of Kakashi's fallen teammate to the world.
"Satu-chan, come here. I need to talk to you alone." Kakashi and Rin - who'd been watching quietly - watched as their sensei walked the girl away from the two, speaking quietly. Kakashi glanced sideways at Rin, who stood silently, staring at the ground before them. His stare followed her's to a small rock, drowning him with memories of merely a day before.
"Hatake-san!" He turned on his heel in time for his mouth to meet with her fist. "This is your fault!"
"Kimi-chan!" Minato shouted as Kakashi responded to her with a kick to her cheek. "Kakashi-kun!"
"You killed Obito-kun with your stupid fucking principles!" Kimi accused angrily, grabbing Kakashi's ankle as he pulled it back, running backwards to drag him along. He let her, deciding to let her get smacked by Minato rather than him for fighting. "If you'd gone to help Rin-chan, Obito-kun wouldn't be dead! You fu-" Kakashi stared at her through the clearing upturned dust and dirt as she seemed awestruck. "Is... Is that the sharingan?"
Kakashi tore his leg from her hold, standing before her. "It's Obito-kun's sharingan..."
Her jaw clenched for a moment before she broke into a smile. "Obito-kun sees through your eyes now..." Kakashi looked away, taken aback by her blatant mood-swing. "Is that correct?" He nodded uneasily. Minato walked up behind Kakashi, glaring half-heartedly at Kimi as she ignored him. "Obito-kun was supposed to train with me today; we've been training together for the past few months. I want you to go with me tomorrow. I want to see if he's really still around. If you don't come, you'll just prove that you have nothing left of him."
"Kimi..." Minato seemed to be gritting his teeth to avoid getting angry at the girl. "Go back home. We need to check in with the Hokage and you have things to be doing." Kimi stared for a moment before leaving with the same uneasy subtletly as she'd come.
"So, you came..."
Kakashi ignored Kimi's words as he entered the clearing she'd designated. "Are you even out of the academy yet? Hell, are you even in the academy?"
She scoffed loudly; "Of course not. I was trained by Namikaze Minato - fuck the academy. I," she continued smugly, "am a shinobi of Konohagakure just like you. Now, let me fight you."
Now it was Kakashi's turn to laugh, though venomously."The only truth in that sentence is my sensei's name. Other than that, everything you just said sounds like bullshit."Kakashi ignored the fact that the nine year old had dropped herself into a fighting stance, one palm facing him. He huffed; "I'm not going to-" He was cut short as Kimi's fist drove into his stomach, sending him jumping backward.
"Enough talk, Baby Fang. Show me the result of an Uchiha's eyes and a Hatake's mind."
Kakashi glared at her, moving his hintai-ate to uncover his Sharingan - a style he'd just picked up that morning in an attempt to dodge most of the stares he would've otherwise received. "Stop talking as if you know me,Saitō-san."
"Believe me - I know more about you than you might find comfortable," she told him, grinning in misplaced amusement. "I met your dad once - I was only four or five, but I met the White Fang, and I have to say..." she paused, taking in Kakashi's scowling expression, "he really was a hero for what he did-" Kakashi rushed forward, his foot connecting with her jaw solidly, sending her flying backward as soon as the last word fell from her lips.
She caught herself, grabbing at the dirt with her fingertips to steady herself. "Idiots like you deserve death..."
"Big words from a boy who can't control his own reactions." Kimi wiped her mouth of blood from biting her cheek nearly clear through. Kakashi stared in a newfound curiousity as the green of her eyes bled into the white, replaced with the blue of the ocean. "Come on, Hatake-kun, you can call me Kimi-chan. So, are you like your father?" Kakashi's hand found his kunai, but he quickly discovered that his arm was frozen. "Do you seek ultimate glory as a shinobi, or do you find happiness in your friends and morality?" The hand glided slowly up to Kakashi's own neck, the blade of the kunai pressing against his throat couldn't feel his legs or other arm - only the feeling of dozens of hands holding his arm in place.
"What is this...?"
"Proof, Hatake-kun." Kimi beamed, taking out her own kunai. "If you would just let the fact that you helped your friend by letting him live vicariously through you be real in your mind, we could all live happily and you could master that Sharingan of yours. You already killed your best friend - I wonder why you don't have Mangekyou by now."
Kakashi thrashed against the invisible hands to no avail; "Fuck you! I didn't kill Obito-kun! I wanted to help him! But-"
"But...? Oh, what's that, Kakashi-kun? Are you breaking the rules again? Are those tears?" Kimi was a foot from where Kakashi was held, observing his reactions with a psychotic interest. "Just think - I could kill you right now with no problems. I hold your mind and body within my thoughts - if I asked, you would slit your throat for me and I could tell Minato-senpai that you just got carried away in your grief."
The hands released Kakashi and he dove for her, kunai in hand. He growled audibly as he hit the earth, Kimi standing in the same position several feet away. He continued to stab uselessly at her, failing to clear his left eye enough to see where she would transport herself to."Give up, Kakashi-kun. Let's just train in peace. I don't blame you for my best friend's death - I met Obito-kun only about a year ago, but he never seemed to enjoy killing. He was too much of a sweetheart, I think."
"You're only a fucking kid! You annoy me so fucking much when you speak like you have even an ounce of knowledge!" Kakashi yelled, his back to her as he sat with his kunai shoved into the ground.
"So are you, Baby Fang."
