Starting at the age of 5….

At the age of 5 most kids worried about when they would get another toy ,or when daddy came home. Akina Uzumaki, however, had to worry about when she would get her next meal ,or if she would survive the night. She had been thrown out of the orphanage 3 months ago when the caretakers had told her that the orphanage was getting to full. From then on she had lived on the streets.

It was hard,but then again Akina had survived assassination attempts since she was 2, for about 3 years the ANBU protected her. Then the attempts stopped, and the beatings, mobs, cold glares – not that they were unusual, but they were 'colder' than usual - began, but she was slowly getting used to the routine of how she should live her life. She learned that she had to follow a set of rules in order to ensure her safety.

NEVER stay out after 10.

Sneak to Ichiraku's to avoid them getting hurt.

NEVER leave apartment birthday

NEVER fight back.

NEVER stop smiling

NEVER take off the mask.


3rd Person POV

Akina was walking down the street with a big, phony,bright smile on her face; wearing a repulsive orange jumpsuit . She hated acting this way, she hated living this way, but she had to survive.

Unfortunately, Akina started to get lost in thought, and started walking into the red light district (1) after the sun was down. She was snapped out of her thoughts -of which ramen to eat for dinner- by a cry of,

"LOOK THE DEMON-BITCH!"

She snapped her head to the left, and saw 3 drunken men approaching her. She turned around to run away, but stopped seeing 2 more drunken men walking her way. She looked up and saw that it was dark, and that it was around the time the Sandaime was taking break from his "evil paperwork" as he called it. She started to panic, and ran farther into the district, with 5 drunken men chasing her.

She dodged and twisted her way down the street, Akina foolishly took a wrong turn, and ran into an alley. Akina whimpered, and screamed,

"PLEASE DON'T HURT ME" .

"Brother, what do I do?",asked Akina in a calm voice.

In reality, Akina knew that she could defeat all of them with her brother's power after all, her brother was the Nine-Tailed fox named Kurama. Unfortunately, they thought she was her brother. It was stupid because she was demon container; NOT the her brother.

"Keep the mask on, and let them beat you after all to leave we must lure them into a false sense of safety by acting like a fool" said Kurama.

The drunken men simply laughed. One of them stepped forward, he wore a full sleeve yellow t-shirt, which had beer stains all over it, a brown shorts, and a pair of black sandals. He walked over to her, kicked her in the stomach, and yelled,

"NOT HURT YOU, NOT HURT YOU! THAT'S WHAT OUR FAMILY SAID BEFORE YOU KILLED THEM! YOU-YOU DEMON!"

THe other men agreed, and started beating her. One of the men saw a shine of metal in a trashcan. He grabbed it, and threw it at Akina. It was a kunai sailed through the air, and hit her arm. She screamed a blood curdling scream, the men flinched, but smiled in triumph. The men hurried to the trash can, and pulled out multiple kunai that hit her dead on after all a non-moving target was easiest on to hit. This went on for a few minutes before they got bored, and ran out kunai. They didn't want to touch kunai that had been infected with demon's blood.

Akina on the other hand, was bleeding terribly, she could barely see, and no matter how much she wanted to be asleep, she could. Suddenly ,she felt a sharp pain in her left eye. She painfully moved to her bloody hand to her eye, and felt a kunai lodged in it. The last words she heard before fading into blissful unconsciousness was,

"THIS IS OUR REVENGE KYUUBI" that was the final words the man had said before he was killed by the ANBU.


Hiruzen Sarutobi was having a good day. The paperwork he received the ⅓ what it usually was, the civilian council wasn't bothering him, and Jiraiya had released his new book 'Icha-Icha: Gimme Some'. Sarutobi planned to read it in the morning after all he was an old man, and needed some sleep throughout the day.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Sarutobi groaned, cursing whoever woke him up, dressed into his Hokage robes, and shunshined outside, He opened it to see an ANBU wearing a bird mask.

"What is so important you had to wake me up at this time" he barked at the ANBU.

The ANBU stood firm, and told the old man 6 words that woke the man up completely,

"Akina Uzumaki is in the hospital".

The Hokage arrived in the hospital, only to see Raven holding a bloody blond child , while arguing with a women at the front desk of the hospital. As he walked closer, he heard the nurse shout,

"FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU CANNOT BRING THAT-THAT THING IN HERE!"

"I believe that this is a hospital for injured people, and as far as I know this" he pointed to the girl, "IS A PERSON!" he yelled at the end.

Sarutobi jumped a little as he had never heard Raven yell before; he smiled knowing how much Raven cared for the girl.

The woman flinched, pushed up her glasses, letting the light reflect off, and opened her mouth to say something back when he decided he had heard enough.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" he yelled.

The woman turned to see the Sandaime in front of her and jumped a little.

"I was simply telling the ANBU here that we have no room in this hospital for that" said the woman nervously pushing up her glasses

Suddenly a doctor ran in, took one look at the child, and screamed.

"MY GOD! HE NEEDS EMERGENCY HELP! Please follow me ANBU-sama", yelled the man before calming down. Sarutobi smiled, and thought,

'At least some people in this town aren't as blind' before following the man with Raven.


Time Skip ¥ 3 hours

'This light hurts my' was her first thought when she opened her eyes. Akina looked around, and realized that she was in the hospital. She sighed,and touched her left eye, where the kunai had hit, and felt bandages. She turned her head as she heard a voice say,

"How are you feeling Akina-chan"

Akina turned her head to see her surrogate grandfather standing there. She put on her mask, and gave a soft smile at the old man.

"Where am me?" Akina asked him.

"The hospital" he answered.

'Damn those foolish villagers. Can't they see that this is just an innocent child' thought the Hokage before deciding to change the subject,

"You know Raven-san is worried about you; he blames himself a little bit for not being able to protect you" he informed her in a sad tone.

Akina's eyes widened. She had always had a crush on Raven-san because he was always there for her, and was the only one who seemed like he gave a damn about her, except for jiji and her brother. The problem was that she HAD NO IDEA who he was, or what he looked like under his mask. He was also the only one who knew of her mask, but even he couldn't see past them all.

"Where Raven Ji-JI?" asked Akina.

"He had to go to back to doing his job Akina-chan", he answered.

"Oh" , she mumbled, a little sad at not being able to thank him for saving her.

She was brought out of her thoughts of Raven when she heard Jiji say something to her.

"Uh, sorry Ji-Ji I thinking about something. Can you repeat?" she asked him.

The Hokage merely smiled, and asked her,

"Akina-chan do you want to be a ninja?"

Akina's eyes widened.

"Should I do it?", Akina asked Kurama.

"Do it if you-" began Kurama before Akina cut him off. She was tired, and did not want a lesson on why she needed to become a ninja. She licked her lips, and faced the Hokage.

"Yes, Yes Jiji. I do want to become a ninja" she answered looking up at the man with joy and sleepiness in her eyes (A:N/Still wearing her mask).

She yawned. The Hokage smiled, and said,

"You should get some sleep Akina-chan"

"But-but I'm not tired", she protested before she slumped down a little.

'If I become a ninja, maybe I can finally leave this village. Maybe, I could be free with him after all that's our dream' she thought before succumbing to sleep
