The blonde girl was in shock. Blood. She was covered in it. Around her were dead bodies of Cloud Ninjas, most of them around the Chunin level, and maybe a couple of Jonins. None survived. But she has no memory of what caused this slaughter.
All she can remember was a group of Cloud Shinobis taking her mother away from her before having no memory of what happened after that. By the time she could even remember a thing, she was in the arms of her concerned mother, Hinata. Her elder brother was checking the corpses.
"Mom, what just happened?"

At Ichiraku's Ramen shop, Naruto was having a bowl of Ramen. A blue-haired teenager wearing an ANBU mask walked to the shop and sits next to Naruto, in front of a bowl of ramen, ready for the newcomer.
"How's Sanae, dad?" asked the ANBU.
"She's fine, for now," replied Naruto, as he ate.
"So, what will the official reports say about the incident?"
"As you were the first one on the scene and you got yourself an A for Report Writing, you tell me."
"Sanae was chasing after the Cloud Ninjas who has kidnapped Mom. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen. When she tried to confront the ninjas, she was in danger, so I had no choice but to kill those who threatened my sister."
Naruto looks at his son. "You know...something doesn't feel right about this. There is no way Cloud Ninjas could easily enter the village, let alone kidnap your mom within the village walls."
"So, someone must have given them information." Yuki starts on his ramen.
Naruto had a bit of thought. "Could it be possible that..."
"No," said Yuki. "Even if he did pass on some information, we would have taken measures to make changes so that the information would be outdated during the two years since he betrayed us. And even if it wasn't outdated, those Chunin-rank Shinobis aren't skilled enough to escape from our ANBU...or me. Unless I'm mistaken, they weren't expected to succeed in the first place. They were doomed to fail from the start."
Naruto was clueless, and this was his son talking to him. Yuki sighed and he began to explain.
"Think about it, father. When you intend to kidnap someone, the best possible way to do it is to have as little kidnappers as possible. Whoever ordered them to do this was either an incompetent client or someone with an ulterior motive to do this."
'Could it be that someone wanted Sanae to draw some of the Kyuubi's power she was born with,' thought Naruto as he remembered what happened at the hospital...
Flashback - The Previous Night
At the hospital, Tsunade looked at the blonde girl. "I didn't think it would happen this soon," said Tsunade looked at Naruto.
"Sanae's anger was enough to draw some of the Kyuubi's power," explained Tsunade. "As a result, she lost control of herself. Luckily, if your son hadn't arrived in time to seal her power, we would have a repeat of what happened to Konoha on the same day you were born."
"But why kidnap Hinata again, after this long?" asked Naruto. "Such a move would destroy the treaty we had with the Kumo, since they made the first move."
Sasuke entered the hospital room.
"I got the interrogation report. Those ninjas killed were missing-nins from Cloud. Someone hired those Shinobis to kidnap Hinata as soon as they went rogue," reports Sasuke. "Surprisingly, the information came easily, without the need of any interrogation techniques. The shock from the slaughter was enough to break him."
End Flashback
"You think she'll be back to her old self?" asked Naruto.
Yuki finished his Ramen and puts down his chopsticks. "You're lucky that your face hasn't been placed on the mountain yet, Dad.
Yuki finished his Ramen and puts down his chopsticks. "You're lucky that your face hasn't been placed on the mountain yet, Dad." Though I believe you should agree on giving Tsunade-baachan's face a mustache has a bit of artistic value."
Naruto looked towards the mountain to see the past five Hokage's faces vandalized.
Yuki takes out a coupon. "Bet you a free Ramen coupon that I can catch her."
"You're on," said Naruto. "But you can't use any jutsus to catch her or you'll lose."
Yuki returned a smirk. "Don't worry...knowing my sister, I don't think I even need use a single Jutsu."
A Week Later...
At the Ninja Academy, academy students were waiting for the results from the Academy examiner, Iruka. He looks at the students and a sense of Deja Vu has hit Iruka. Some of them are children of his former students. The second generation definitely has some resemblance to their parents. Some with even similar personalities.
A few of the students had Iruka's attention. Especially on a pair of twin daughters belong to his favorite student.
Sanae Uzumaki was acting like her father while her twin sister, Hikari was silently sitting in the corner, watching Sanae from a distance. She is worried about her sister, since Sanae was at the hospital a week ago.
There were other students...Shikami. She's the oldest among the kids currently at the Academy, by a year. She didn't pass the previous year's test because she slept right through it. She got a big mouthful from her mother and a few threats from her brother, Inoryou, who happens to be participating in this year's exam and he made sure his sister doesn't sleep through it.
Then, there's the Uchiha Brothers, Raikoumaru (using the shortened name of Rai, with fangirls calling him 'Rai-kun' when he's not within earshot) and Chidori (Chi for short, but not as popular as his twin). The most popular duo in the Academy. A lot of girls have interest in the elder brother with black hair, Rai, who is this year's top rookie and has a sense of coolness around him. A few girls also have their interests on Rai's younger brother, whose black hair has a few pink streaks, Chi, whose friendly personality could help get any girl closer to Rai.
Once everything has settled down, Iruka has began to announce the teams
"Alright, here are the teams that you are going to be in," called out Iruka.
Sanae was excited. In her mind, she was hoping to get the team that she wants to be in.
"Team Seven: Uzumaki Sanae, Uchiha Rai and Uchiha Chi."
As soon as she heard who was going to be on her team, Sanae silently cursed. She's now the enemy of every Uchiha fangirl of her age, though the Uchiha in question is up for debate (One claimed that the girls are looking at him while the girls claim that they're looking at the other brother).
'Well, that's just my luck,' thought Sanae.
"Team Eight: Uzumaki Hikari, Aburame Shirai and Inuzuka Garu."
Sanae looks at her sister. Both sisters didn't need words to communicate with each other, especially when something gets in between them. Sanae sends a glare at Hikari. 'I wanted to be on Team Eight.'
'Too bad for you, sis,' was the reply from Hikari as she sticks her tongue out without anyone seeing. When it comes with certain boys, the silent Uzumaki sister becomes another copy of her father.
"Team Ten: Nara Shikami, Nara Inoryou and Akimichi Chohi."
Once all of the teams were announced, a female Jonin wearing an orange jacket over a green bodysuit and light-green leg warmers (that's what got the Genin's attention, as those Genins has never seen wearing ridiculously colored leg warmers) suddenly ran into the room, only to be stopping when she collided with the teacher's desk.
"You sure are early, Miyabi-sensei."
"I need to tell to you about something important, Iruka..."
"What is it?"
Miyabi whispered to Iruka.
"What? You're kidding. I need to speak to the other instructors about this."
"What about the other Genin Teams?" asked Miyabi.
"Tell them to wait for their Jonin-senseis," said Iruka, taking the list with him as he left. "For the time being, you take Team 10 until this problem is settled."
Miyabi looks at the Genins and waves at them. "I'm Miyabi Lee, but you can call me Miyabi-sensei! Which one of you is Team 10?"
Half an hour has passed and the only teams remaining were Team 7 and 8. Sanae has gone off to the bathroom due to a stomach ache, leaving only 5 Genins in the room.
"Our senseis are sure taking their time," said Chi.
"Jonins are highly skilled ninjas," said Shirai. "I'm sure it won't take long to fix any problem that comes up."
At that moment, a Jonin entered the room. He has the same white eyes as Sanae and Hikari. A member of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Nagi.
"Cousin Nagi?"
"That's Nagi-sensei to you, Hikari," said the Jonin. "I'm the Jonin Instructor for Team 8."
"Well, that's us," said Garu. "See you guys later."
Team 8 has left, leaving behind the Uchiha Twins from Team 7. Sanae still hasn't returned from the bathroom.
"I'm bored," said Chi. He stood up and walked to the blackboard. "No duster." Chi looks around the room for a duster or some suitable substitute when he finds a brick outside a window. "Ah, this would do." Chi climbs up and makes sure that the brick holds up on the sliding door. Chi sets up the brick so that it will fall on the first person who opens the door and walks in.
"You could hurt someone with that," said Rai. 'But I love to see the look on the Jonin's face.'
"I'm sure Jonins have hard heads."
Sanae has returned to the classroom. "Hey guys..." Smack!
Rai watched the scene. 'Bull's-eye,' said an inner voice in Rai.
"Oops." Chi looked at the unconscious teammate, and then he looks at his brother. "Maybe you go pull her in while I reset the trap."
Rai proceeds to pull Sanae's unconscious body into the room as Chi recovers the brick..
The tardy Jonin was walking along the corridor when she finally reached the class room. "Now that's new," said the Jonin, looking at the brick being held up by the sliding door. "Usually it's a board eraser, but I think this is a bit too extreme."
The Jonin opened the door for a distance, carefully avoiding the falling brick.
"Damn!"
The Jonin walked into the classroom. "You could have hurt someone with that brick."
"It happened once," Chi said, pointing at Sanae, who was rubbing her head after recovering from the falling brick on her head.
The Jonin sighs. "Alright, let's us go somewhere we can talk."
Team Seven were on the roof top of the academy. "Now, I think we should introduce ourselves and tell everyone what we love, what we hate and maybe dreams and ambitions, if you feel like it."
"Why don't you start first?" asked Chi.
"Very well. My name is Nanaya Aoi Hatake but to you it's Aoi-sensei. I got things I like and things I don't like. I also have my own dreams and ambitions but if I were to tell you those things at this moment, I will have to kill you. Now it's your turn. The one with annoying pink streaks in his hair."
Chi looked insulted. "Annoying? Girls find it exciting and rebellious." Chi runs his hand through his hair. "Anyway, my name is Chidori Uchiha. I like to impress girls and hate it when they go for my more popular brother instead of me. My ambition is to be the best Shinobi of this village and defeat my brother."
"That's not impressive, Chi." Sanae stood up. "My turn! I'm Sanae Uzumaki. I love to eat Ramen. My father is the Hokage, so it is my dream to be a Hokage, to be like my father and Granny Tsunade!"
Aoi smiled. "Good. That leaves us with the other Uchiha." Rai looks at Aoi.
"Fine," said Rai. "I'm Raikoumaru Uchiha. I have not many interests at the moment because I have one dream. To be the most powerful Uchiha ever..."
Chi sighed. "Rai...you'll never be able to reach Setsuna's level. She's a Jonin, just like our sensei. I think your aim is a bit too high, brother," said Chi.
Rai sighed. He stood up and walked off.
"Shouldn't you stop him, Sensei?" Sanae asked Nanaya.
Nanaya shrugged. "It's a family matter. It's best if we stay out of it."
Chi sighed as soon as Rai left. "That's what stems his motivation to be the best. He always has the ambition of beating our elder sister in a fight since father as got the claim of being unbeatable. I would want to fight my sister too, but only when I am at her level." As soon as Rai is out of sight, Chi then whispered to his remaining teammates, "Seriously, my father hasn't said anything about it, but I think he knows that our sister is the most powerful Uchiha in the family."
Nanaya looks at Sanae and Chi. "Ok. Chi, get this information to Rai as quickly as possible, because tomorrow, we are going to have a test. I want you to meet me at the training ground at 5 AM, sharp," said Nanaya. Then she remembered another bit of important information. "Oh, and don't eat breakfast."
"No breakfast?" asked Sanae. "Why?"
"Well, don't blame me if you have stomach problems or throw up after we're done." Nanaya disappears in a puff of smoke.
