Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Yuki.
That's my name now.
I had another name previously... but I suppose it's unimportant now.
Because to anyone here, I was 'Yuki Uchiha, younger sister of Sasuke Uchiha by 1 year and Daughter of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha'
I was born with memories of a past life, a time where I would watch the anime and read the manga of Naruto and perhaps dream of it once in a while.
Yet the world I'm in now is the Naruto universe and it's clear here —way too clear to be a dream of a dead girl—
So my first thought (for this reflection) was 'Why me?'
In my past life, I was an ordinary girl, albeit a sickly one, who spent her last moments dying too young on a cold hospital bed. I was no champion martial artist or soldier and while I loved Naruto, I wouldn't claim to be an expert on it. So in the end, I settled on it being life's way of paying back the years I'd lost out on previously. Sounds dubious I know, but it's the best I could come up with.
So my second thought was 'Why here'
I suppose it could have been worse, considering that I was born in Konoha and in a strong clan at that. I could have been born in Kirigakure. I could have been born in some random civilian family, only to be killed by bandits.
Despite being almost promised a certain level of power just due to my family, I was unhappy. Perhaps, it was precisely because of that, I just wanted to enjoy this life with my family, a family that I never had in my past life; I didn't particularly want this responsibility of being in a major clan or a role that was essential to the plot.
But like it or not, I was in the Uchiha clan and death was hovering just around the corner in the form of my loveable, deadly aniki, Itachi. Also, there happened to be what? 2 or 3 Organizations after my head?
It was either kill or be killed.
It sounds cheesy but shinobi weren't known for their kindness.
And I'd be damned before I let my second chance at life slip from my fingers.
When I was first born, I had absolutely no idea what was happening. All I knew was that my comforting darkness was suddenly ripped away and I was thrust into a bright place. Needless to say, I was terrified and thoroughly confused. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move (much) and there was this strange feeling inside of me.
And so I did the logical thing, I cried. none. stop.
It turned out that, having never encountered chakra before, I was extremely sensitive to it and as a result could possibly react to painfully to any use of it. It didn't help that I seemed to have a very high amount of Spiritual chakra for my age.
To my parents, any idea of me being a kunoichi was ruthlessly quashed.
Ouch.
Thankfully, with enough time and practice I would become used to it, though I would have to prove myself to my parents.
There wasn't much to do as a baby, with most of it consisting of sleeping. And when I wasn't sleeping I would be trying to brush up my rusty Japanese by listening to my family or playing with chakra, that warm fuzzy thing inside of me which I had no idea of what it was at that point.
It wasn't until I was 2 months old and my eyes had become more developed did I realise the truth.
That day, Mom brought me out of the compound for a 'walk' and probably to show me off to relatives and friends I assumed. Resting my head on my mother's comfortable shoulder, I peered at what I assumed were faces carved into a mountain. 'I didn't realize Japan had something like this' was my initial thought.
"Oh Yuki, that's Hokage mountain, where faces of the past and present Hokages are carved"
I just stared wide eyed at her… And stared some more… as my 2 month old brain processed it.
"Hokage mountain? Isn't that the name of that mountain in Naru- Oh. Shit."
AN: Finally gathered enough confidence to post my very first fanfiction (a SI no less). Firstly, this is my first shot so it isn't going to be top notch material right away, so hopefully i'll improve as time goes on.
Inspired by the stories of all the various Naruto SI authors such as: Silver Queen, Darkpetal16, Vixen Tail, Shadownumera, thelonelylovechild and many other SI authors out there.
Hope you enjoyed it :) I'll see you next time
