Prologue:

Flashback...

Mikoto was currently looking for her daughter Sasuke who was supposed to be there an hour ago after training with her brother. Suddenly the door opened and revealed a 3 year old wearing a black high collared shirt that fits her body perfectly with pants and other accessories. The child stepped inside after taking off her shoes like she regularly does.

Staring at her sweet innocent child, Mikoto admits that she can't stay angry at Sasuke for too long but she has to make her know that being late was just wrong, especially for an Uchiha, except for her cousin Obito who was always late because of the habit.

"And where on earth have you been young lady", she crossed her arms made herself look disappointed adding the 'you-better have-a-good-excuse' tone.

Sasuke putted her hands behind her and looked down at the floor "I got so caught up in training with nii-san that I forgot to keep track of time...,"

"Well if that's the case don't you have anything else to say..." she tapped her feet impatiently waiting for an answer.

Sasuke frowned a bit but muttered something inaudible "I'm s-r-y"

Mikoto raised an eyebrow "I didn't hear that clearly..."

"I'm... sorry kaa-san" Sasuke pouted, she was too stubborn to even apologize but she still couldn't get the stubbornness with her were as stubborn as her.

"Good" she smirked "Come on Sasuke-chan we got a full schedule ahead of us,"Mikoto looked satisfied with her answer and apology so she smiled a small smile and leaded Sasuke to the kitchen. She was beginning to teach Sasuke everything needed to be thought around the house because of Fugaku's order. Luckily Sasuke was outstanding at everything because she used to watch her kaa-san whenever her tou-san doesn't allow her to watch Itachi during her older brother's training sessions.

End of Flashback...

Sasuke was patiently riding the horse as she is on her journey back to the fire country from outside the mainland.

Speaking of the mainland, she remembered the first time she went out of the mainland and escaped the horrid place...

Flashback...

A 9-year old Sasuke was currently running as fast as her feet could carry her, like her life depended on it. Luckily she was able to see smoke which meant there must have been civilization. She ran and ran until she could see the houses, all she needed was to pass that gate and...

-Blackout-

-soft murmurs-

"Look" a feminine voice said "She's starting to wake up..."

Sasuke slowly opened her eyes and tried to focus her vision. She was able to make out two figures staring at her one male and the other female they were about 60 years old...

"Are you alright dear?" the woman spoke in a soft and gentle voice

Sasuke hesitated to answer for a while..., then she decided to give a nod for an answer, "Where am I? ...Who are you?"

The man next to the woman answered, "Your in our little town here outside the mainland, in Hale Valley. I'm Riku and this is my wife Kia. We found you unconscious outside the village gates"

Sasuke thought about what happened, "Oh... I see"

"Anyway, what's your name little kid, how did you get here what happened?" Riku asked, concern was relevant in his expression "When we first saw you we could tell you've been through a lot because of your injuries"

Sasuke sighed "I'm Sasuke U-"

She was cut by a knock on the door. The couple looked at her for a second before nodding to her "Just wait a minute dear we'll be right back..." the couple hurried to the door to let some kind of messenger inside their living room she can hear their conversation on the other side of the room that is opposite to the one she's currently in.

"Riku-sama there is new news from the fire country and it's been a hit everywhere, you won't believe it..."

"Calm down Rodger what is it about?"

"About the Uchiha clan, everybody is talking about it the Hokage appeared this morning and declared that Orochimaru is dead and his corpse was burned into ashes..."

"Then what is its connection to the Uchiha clan?"

"That's when the shocking info comes in, remember the time when the Uchiha massacre happened..."

"Yeah, didn't one of them survived?"

"There is a survivor but weeks after she was recovered from the compound Orochimaru kidnapped the young kid"

"Was she found?"

"They did say they did found her but she was left blind because of the sannin's experiments on her eyes..."

Sasuke just froze after she heard that, how could she be there when she's here, the last time she remembered was noone was seen there other than the corpse of Orochimaru...

"What's that kid's name again?"

"The Uchihas don't spread their names like that to anyone Riku-sama, the head's kid that I told you about is the Uchiha Itachi"

"Oh..., anyway... why are you here again?"

"I'm here cause I saw the hokage announce that the Uchiha massacre was just a cover up for the mission to kill Orochimaru, I even saw the clan head with the other members of the clan appear as well. The kid being kidnapped wasn't part of the plan but rumor says she was hidden in their compound after what happened."

Hearing the information she got, her breath was stuck in her throat how.. why ...they did... It couldn't be...

Flashback cutted-

"May we know where you're from kid, and what brings you here?"

Sasuke got snapped out of her trance; she got of the horse and tied it next to the cart of the travelling companions that she met in the middle of her journey... "I'm from the little towncalled Hale Valley located outside the mainland, I'm here to be with the other genins of fire country, I actually transferred here to be trained in the fire country..."

"And what about your other companions?"

"They're here to trade goods to different countries..."

The guard looked at her companions "I see..." he looked back at her " You may go in your travelling companions will be busy here to check on some papers"

Sasuke gave her companions a hesitating look but they nodded at her telling her it's okay...

She nodded at them in return and continued to enter where she saw many people with different products heading for the market; she decided to go with the crowd since the apartment she got in Konohagure before setting out, was close to it.
