At about one month of age, you found yourself in a basket with only two necklaces in your posession on the Uchiha's doorstep. They took you in and treated you as their own daughter. Sasuke had just been born, so you had someone around your own age to be with. (You were only; well, exactly three weeks older than him. Oh, just so you know, your birthday is on the 30th of June.) But you actually got along with Itachi more than you did with Sasuke. I mean, Sasuke and you were friends, but Itachi and you were inseparable. For six years you were happy, contented with life as it was, but then… Well, let's start on 5th July, just five days after your sixth birthday

"Itachi! Come on! I want to show you something!" You called into his bedroom, attempting to wake him up.

"But Anita, I'm tired. Its three o' clock in the morning! Why do I have to get up anyway?"

"Because I told you to! Just come on! It looks better in the dark anyway. Maybe you can help me with it."

Itachi grudgingly got up and dressed. You grabbed a torch (also known as a flashlight) and pulled him outside. You led him to the training field and put your hair up in a black silk ribbon into a ponytail. You let the ribbon drape over your shoulders and hang down.

"I've never shown this to anyone before now. You should move." You fingered your necklace nervously before starting.

Itachi sidestepped out of the way as you did several hand signs. You hair glowed bright blue as chakra flowed through it. Your ponytail flared up until it looked like a blue mass of flames. Your body became engulfed in a fiery cloud of blue as the chakra flowed through you.

Itachi stared at you, awe shining in his black eyes. "Whoa…Anita…that's awesome! How did you get so much chakra?"

"I don't really know. I don't feel in the least drained. I'm afraid to show anyone else, I don't know what they'd do."

Itachi shook his head in amazement. He walked over to you and touched your hand lightly, "And how do you know what I'll say?"

"Well, you're my best friend and you know me better than anyone, so I knew you wouldn't freak out too much."

Itachi smiled. A genuine smile. That was pretty rare from someone like Itachi.

You both went back to the Uchiha residence to sleep. That night, and all of the nights after that until you turned seven, your dreams were racked by thoughts of adventure, seeing the world outside of Konoha. And on 5th July of the next year, your dreams were to come true…

That fateful July day you were extremely restless, to say the least. You wanted to see the other four countries; Hell, you just wanted to get out of Konoha! All day you were quiet, even Itachi couldn't coax you out of your silence. It was plain that he was getting worried. That night, you packed our belongings and wrote out a note. You sealed the note and a gold necklace with a diamond heart pendant (I actually have this necklace), identical to your own in a plain white envelope. You sighed and gathered your stuff. You then left with your belongings and a heavy heart…but without a backwards glance.

Anita! Wake up! I promised that I'd help you with training! Come on!

He pushed the door open slightly. It creaked slightly, revealing your empty bed and almost bare room.

Anita? Are you here? Anita? Seri—"

He cut off his futile calling when he saw the envelope on your pillow. He rushed over to your bed and picked it up, preparing himself for the worst. He read it out loud, his voice a hoarse whisper.

'Itachi,

I am so sorry. I assume you are reading this, for I was supposed to be up early to train with you. I have gone north, heading for Suna. I want to explore the world and try to find out what happened to my parents. Do not look for me; I won't be in Suna for long. I don't know if and when I'll come back to Konoha.

The necklace enclosed is for you. Wear it always. I wear its twin. There are only two like it left in the world. They contain some power that I am yet to discover. They were in the basket that I was found in seven years ago. If we ever see each other again, we'll know each other by the necklaces.

Goodbye.

Anita'

Your tears smudged the words and Itachi's made them near impossible to decipher. He took out the necklace gingerly and held it to his lips before putting it on. After that morning, he became more reclusive and mysterious. He eventually couldn't take it and took it out on his clan, murdering all but Sasuke. Not to see what he was capable of, like he told dear Sasuke, but out of grief.

You, on the other hand, were having the time of your life exploring the northern parts of the Land of Fire, seeing local towns and reaching the edge of the forest where it met the desert. You traveled the desert for a few days before reaching the walls of Sunagakure—the Village Hidden in the Sand. You entered without any guard interference or anything. I mean, seriously, you're a seven year old girl; you aren't really much of a nuclear threat, now are you?

Suna was amazing. It was a work of art. The buildings were so beautifully crafted and spaced. It was...well, amazing. But you knew that you couldn't stay forever. Before you went back to Konoha, you wanted to see ALL of the countries, so after staying in Suna for awhile, you set out again, heading west.

You traveled through all of the countries, made and left friends for five years. And then, at the age of 12, you returned to Konoha. To your home.
