I don't own Naruto!

Author note: Hey, everyone! I originally was posting this else where, but haven't been getting much feed back. So I'm posting here in hopes you all will let me know what you think. I even asked them to give flames and still nothing. Of course I would love it if no one flames me and just tells me what they think. Please comment!

Also here are some links to Ask the Resilient characters! (From the Naruto fic, Resilient), Resilient (Naruto fanfic); this leads to my cousin's side of the story from her co's pov.

Also I will be having some scrolls that will be in old english, so I posted them in english, along with a image. Here is the link: Scrolls From: The Stray the Inauzuka Clan Took In.

Prologue

The cold winter night was surprisingly peaceful in the fire country's village hidden in the leaves. Especially since the third great Shinobi war was raging on, but all the same, the village was pretty peaceful apart from the cries of pain coming from one of their female jonins as she had been in the process of childbirth since noontime.

The woman's normally calm Jonin husband had long since become a complete mess with worry for his wife and unborn child. Also the reality that he would be a father and be responsible for a child! Hearing his wife's cries wasn't helping either, as he paced up and down the waiting room with his brothers, sister-in-laws, and nieces.

The man's two brothers were trying not to laugh while their wives tried not to cringe, remembering their own pain when giving birth to their girls. The older girl sat wide eyed as she listened to her auntie scream in pain. The other girl sat there trying to disappear into her mind by thinking about how tired she would be for training tomorrow. The girl looked at the clock just as a baby's cry filled the night air along with the child's mother's final cry of pain.

The medical-ninja handed the baby to the new mother, before tackling the baby to check the newborn's health. While another med-nin came out to let the family into the room to wait with the new mother.

The man was quickly at his wife's side, while the rest of the gathered family took up their own places around the room.

"Han'na dear, how are you feeling?" asked the younger girl's mother, Mairin.

"Tired." answered Han'na Andorea Nohara (from the civilian family Hedego) shortly, but happily.

"That's to be expected after all." said the older girl's mother, Aira, softly.

"Are you ok Auntie Han'na?" asked the older girl, Mai, who dreamed of following in her grandmother's footsteps and become an ANBU captain one day.

"I'm fine sweetie."

"Are you sure you're alright darling?" asked Han'na's husband, Sedorikku Din Nohara.

"Of course she is Sedorikku or we wouldn't be in here!" stated Raikkuo- the oldest of the Nohara brothers.

"Raikkuo, be nice." said Rai- the youngest of the Nohara brothers.

Just then the medical-nin came back with the newest member of the hidden leaf, a baby girl, wrapped in a light violet and pink blanket with the same shade of hat with a sapphire hidden leaf symbol on it. Handing the baby over to her father, the med-nin asked what they were naming the baby.

"Akane Rinmai Nohara." the parents said together, while looking at their little baby girl.

After a while, all of the family members gathered had held little Akane. Except the younger girl, who as soon as she held Akane in her arms, the baby opened her eyes for the first time, looking up into the eyes of her older cousin, Rin Nohara and smiled the same smile as the said girl.

This made Rin's day- before the day had even truly started- and she couldn't wait to tell her teammates about the small girl.
