Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, that honor belongs to Kishimoto. All of the OC characters in this story are mine. I don't feel like dealing with the whole bijuu and akatsuki headache at the moment so I will not be using Naruto as the main character. In fact, I will not have Naruto in my story. Instead, the main character in my story is an OC and this story is just set in the Narutoverse. Also, please be nice with the reviews, this is my first ever fanfiction story.

Chapter 1: Akihito Yuki

Yuki woke up with a start as the alarm started to ring incessantly by her ear.

"Mendokusai," she muttered as she turned over in her bed fulling intending to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep, only to see that it was 4:30 in the morning.

"EHHH! NANI?! Why the hell is it so early?" Yuki shouted as she rushed to her window only to see that it was still somewhat dark and the sun had yet to come out.

She struggled to remember why her alarm was going off so early in the morning when she suddenly realized, "Oh Kami, today I have to go learn how politics worked among aristocrats in the capital of Hi no Kuni from Fumi-obaasan."

Yuki rushed out of bed and raced to the bathroom. She took a quick shower, brushed her teeth, dried her hair and then started to dress only to remember that Fumi-obaasan had given her a kimono last time to wear for today.

"I wonder why Fumi-obaasan wants me wear a kimono. Could it be that she has something special prepared for today?" Yuki wondered as she went to put her kimono on. First she put the juban on, which she had also received from Fumi-obaasan. Then she put on the kimono itself and tied it with koshi himo belt. Next she tied the datejime belt over the koshi himo belt. She finished it off by wrapping the obi makura around her waist.

Yuki looked at herself with the kimono on in the mirror and marveled at her appearance.

"Kawaii neh," she sighed as she looked on. Yuki adored the kimono as it was easily the cutest and most beautiful piece of clothing that she owned.

The kimono was red and white with a floral pattern all across. The datejime belt and the koshi himo belt were both white strips of cloth. The obi makura was black with a floral pattern in white.

"Maa maa, I might as well go see what Fumi-obaasan wants," Yuki muttered as she prepared to walk out of the gates of the orphanage.

"YUKI! Where are you going at such a time? I thought that you had stopped training with that sensei of yours in the morning?" asked Karin, the matron of the orphanage, when she spotte Yuki on her way out.

"Eh? Oh, I'm actually on my way to see Fumi-obaasan, not Gai-sensei. Gai-sensei can't train me anymore now that he has a genin team to train. Ja ne." Yuki replied as she proceeded to leave the orphanage and head to Fumi-obaasan's house.

Yuki immediately took to the rooftops as it was easier to travel that way and she wanted to keep her skills sharp so that she could be a respectable kunoichi and achieve her dream of becoming a kunoichi who was multi-talented and the mistress of many fields.

Yuki wanted to be just like Fumi-obaasan, who was multi-talented, but since she was a later generation she had to surpass Fumi-obaasan as Fumi-obaasan always said that the next generation should surpass the last.

Thinking about Fumi-obaasan, Yuki recalled her first meeting with Fumi-obaasan at the age of 5. It was a meeting that completely changed her life.
