IMPORTANT: This fanfiction is set during the civil war and you may find somethings on racism. I apologize in advance, this is just the way they treated them back then. I will do my best to make sure that there isn't too much. The worse it will get is probably slavery. I tried to make this story as historically accurate as possible.
I own nothing but Mizuki.
Arlington, Virginia
May 19th, 1861 One month and 7 days into the civil war.
"You despicable girl! How could you be so ignorant?!" The woman shrieked at her daughter. The young girl sighed as her mother continued on her rant. She was the ripe age of eighteen and her mother was ready to marry her off to some rich, Nobel man. "I try and I try! Why won't you give any man a chance?" the girl's mother asked in frustration. "I'm only eighteen! I'm not ready to become someone's wife!" Her mother frowned at her daughter's bluntness. "Mizuki! You must marry! The money your father left us is running out! You are a fine young lady! The men fall to your feet and yet you turn them all away! I just can't understand you!" Mizuki stared at her mother and shook her head. "No, you don't understand. I want to do something with my life! I want to help people! "Her mother threw her hands up in exasperation. "Go get out of my sight! Miranda! Get her to bed!" Mizuki glared at her mother in resentment. She ran up the stairs to her room before the tears spilled from her eyes.
"Oh, Miss!" Miranda cooed as she ran over and held Mizuki. Miranda had been a slave to their family ever since Mizuki was born. "Come now miss we must prepare you for bed." Miranda sat her down in front of the vanity and brushed out Mizukis dark red hair. Mizuki stared at her reflection. Her eyes were a red from crying. Making her eyes seem a darker blue then they actually were. After Miranda finished she wished Mizuki a good night and left. Mizuki stared up at the ceiling listening to the sounds from below. As soon as the house was silence Mizuki got ready to leave the life she didn't want.

"Danmit!" Yelled a very frustrated brigadier general. "Deidara! Get in here now!" The lieutenant reluctantly entered the tent that housed the general. The room was trashed with papers thrown everywhere. "Yesh, you sure made a mess in here. Maybe you should get yourself a w-" He was cut off as a pen was thrown at his head. Deidara swiftly moved his head out of the way as the pen ripped through the tent. "Temper temper." Deidara tisked. The general glared, "Shut up!" Deidara rolled his eyes, "Yes, General, or should I say Sasori? Since you never seem to call me by my title." The General, Sasori, growled, "I did not call you in here for idol chat! This is a serious problem!" Deidara sighed and sat in one of the chairs in front of Sasoris desk. He reached in his pocket and played with a rubber band. "So what is on your mind, oh great Brigadier General?" Sasori frowned, "The Confederates are gaining ground and we need to somehow stop them. Any ideas?" Deidara sat there with a thoughtful look on his face, then smiled. "Blow them up!" Sasori growled and hit upside the head with a rolled up map. "You dolt! That will never work!" Deidara frowned and mumbled under his breath as he twirled the band around his finger. Suddenly the tent was ripped open and a soldier stood there, panting and out of breath. "General! The south is attacking!" Sasori cursed, "Get the troops ready! We have to defend our post at all cost!" The soldier nodded and ran off toward the camps. "Deidara! Get your lazy ass up and get moving!" Deidara smiled, "Yes sir!" Sasori glared and grabbed his sword as he walked out of the tent. He was ready for whatever Robert E. Lee had to throw at him.
For those who don't know, Robert E. Lee is the General on the South side that was incredibly cunning. I personally think hes awesome! He just fought for the wrong side... Anyways, Please review and let me know what you thought! Also, if you have any ideas of a Naruto character that could be some important historical figure, like a General or something, send me a PM! Id love the help! For example, Tsundae being the head of the medical department things like that! I still need a spot for Naruto! Gah!
