NARUTO Akatsuki no kokoro
Cause if you wanna go to the heart of a story you have to go back to the beginning
Chapter 1
It was raining. The lightings were crossing the ski with all their rage. The clan's streets were empty, in the night's silent the only sound was the falling rain.
A loneliness figure was gazing the lake without care about the heavy drops falling over her. She had a distant look, was immersed in her thoughts. She didn't care about her expensive kimono to be wet, not even her long black hear to be ruined with the water, she just wanted to be alone for a while, otherwise she was going to explode.
- Mikoto!!! – the call interrupted unexpectedly the heavy silent.
The girl turned around. A blond girl, with her long heart tied in a braid, wearing a beautiful violet kimono was running towards her under the rain.
- Kaede?
- Finally! I've been looking for you! – Kaede whispered – Why did you leave the party?
Mikoto didn't look at her.
- My father wants me to be married at the age of 16. He already has chosen with whom.
Kaede looked at her without knowing what to say. Arranged marries weren't aloud anymore, but, been Mikoto's father anything could be possible.
- He says in this war times it's indispensable to have a husband as soon as possible, that I have to start to flirt him from now, so I can have him on my feet to make him ask me to be married, that he has to think it was his idea.
- in six month we are out of the academy, you'll see, everything is gonna be all right. We'll be able to do whatever we want to during the missions.
- I'm tired of pretending! I don't.. !
But suddenly her words were interrupted by an explosion. Not far from there the fire was growing in spite of the rain. Ninjas from the hidden village of the rock were entering Konoha with hole speed. Explosions were everywhere.
It took a few seconds to the clan to be woken up. Form every single house men armed were going out to defend their village.
Mikoto and Kaede didn't waste time thinking. They took off those uncomfortable sandals, tore the kimonos to be able to move the legs and went straight to the battle. With a quick movement Mikoto took one of her enemy's kunais and cut his throat with it. Running as if she was insane she didn't leave anyone alive as she passes. In a few minutes the Uchiha clan had finished all the enemies of the zone and was dispersing to eliminate the ones that the other clans hadn't kill yet.
Kaede start running over the roofs towards the exit willing to help, she knew she shouldn't be happy, but be in the meddle of a battle she was unloading a tremendous adrenaline, and, whatever they say, she was enjoying it.
Under her she saw a few of her companions looking paralyzed to a couple of rock ninjas getting closer. She didn't blame them, after all, that was their firs real battle, and they had been taken by surprise in the meddle of a party.
- Katon Gōkakyū no jutsu! – she said jumping off the roof and threw a mouthful of fire on the enemies.
They scream filled with pain and fell on their knees, giving Kaede time to cut their throats with their own knifes.
- fence to the refuges for once! – she told them
Without waiting for an answer she continued running eliminating every single enemy on her way. In the center of the village she found Mikoto, with a blond, tall guy with stopped hair, he was as much a year older than the girls.
A falcon flew over their heads.
- Yeah! – Kaede screamed – we finally can fight freely!
The three boys jumped into the battle filled with emotion. Mikoto showed a great ability in genjutsu, paralyzing her opponents on the first try with her sharingan's help. While Kaede was combining her excellent taijutsu with basic level but effective techniques, using her sharingan to prevent her enemy's movements and act in consequence.
But the one that more was outlined was the boy who was accompanying them. With an unbeliever speed and precision he eliminated almost all the enemies in a few instants, without a single scratch.
One of the ninjas that had survived the attack threw a kunai to the boy's legs while he was running, making him fall. Before anyone of the three boys could react a couple of strong hands took the ninja's head and killed him.
- at that speed you don't detect the movements of your adversary, lose totally the sense of the sight and thus became a vulnerable target. – the man said – at least of course, like your friends, you have a sharingan.
The boy stood up ashamed and did a reverence.
- Y.. Yes, Jiraiya sensei!
- Jiraiya?! – Mikoto said surprised – Jiraiya the legendary Sannin?
The tall white long haired man raised in all his stature smiling conceitedly.
- How famous am I.. he he he, even kids knows me… - he made a weird pose – yes, yes! It's me, Jiraiya sama, the great Sannin!
Three boys looked incredulous how the legendary man was destroying his image together with the first sunbeams.
- Anyways, - Kaede said trying to change the subject – who are you? You are an excellent ninja! It was amazing what you did just now!
- yeah.. only a bit – the boy said, but for a second the same conceitedly smile of his master pass through his face – I'm Minato, Namikaze Minato
