Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
I just had this idea running through my head while I've been trying to brainstorm for my other stories. It's been bugging the hell out of me so here it is!
Author's Note: Yes, people. This is a FemNaruto fanfic. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to read this. Anyway, expect the first couple of chapters to start off slow for now.
Chapter 1: Prologue 1: Childhood 1
"Minato! Where are you? We're going to be late to Mikoto-chan's party." Kushina hollered at her husband. A disheveled sun-kissed blonde stumbled down the stairs while trying to fix his tie.
"Oomph." Minato muttered as he tripped over his daughter's plush fox before managing to fix himself upright. Kushina sighed to herself before turning her attention to their only child.
A child of four looked up at her mother with wide blue eyes that rivaled the sun in color. Her blond hair, identical to her father's, was cropped short behind the ears with bangs near her forehead.
"Okaa-san, I'm bored. I don't wanna go to a stupid party." Naruto whined before pouting. In her frilly white dress with a fuchsia flower pattern, the girl looked absolute adorable! Kushina resisted the urge to grab her daughter and give her a rib-crushing hug.
The red-headed beauty reached down, instead, to fix her daughter's hair ribbon. "Now, now, kit. It's Mikoto-obasan's baby boy's birthday party. There's going to be lots of kids your age and games to play with."
But her words didn't really cheer up the blond child. Instead, she scuffed her feet against the carpet floor. After finally tying his tie and failing at taming his hair, Minato turned his attention to his daughter. He frowned when he noticed her downcast expression.
"What's the matter, Naru?"
"Um…do I really have to go?" Naruto blurted out. Before either of her parents could speak, the girl continued to talk. "None of the other kids play with me. The boys don't like playing with me cuz I'm a girl and the other girls think I'm weird cuz I like to play with the boys!"
Minato and Kushina exchanged looks with each other. Oh boy. How should we handle this? The thought crossed their mind before Minato spoke.
"Maah. Maah. Don't worry, Mikoto-chan's kids aren't like that. Besides, if you want, we'll leave early if you want, Naru."
"Really" Naruto asked in a small voice while looking at her father with wide, cerulean eyes.
"Really." Minato confirmed with a wide grin. A now cheerful miniature blonde mimicked his foxy grin. Kushina smiled at the father-daughter moment before reminding them both that they were due at the party ten minutes ago.

-----Uchiha Estate-----
"Okaaaaa-san!!! I don't want to go outside!!!" A pouting newly-turned five year old whined to his mother. Mikoto frowned as she turned to her youngest.
"Sasuke, everyone is here because they want to celebrate your birthday. It would be rude to keep them waiting." She reprimanded her child. A sulking Sasuke just stayed his bed under his comforter, hiding him from outside eyes.
"Honestly, otouto, there's nothing scary about a birthday party." Itachi, ten years old, teasingly said to his brother.
"Really, I thought I raised you better than this? Don't make me say it one more time! Get out of---"
"What is going on here?" The solemn voice of one Fugaku Uchiha streamed into the room. Three different reactions occurred. Itachi straightened in his chair before bowing his head to his father. Mikoto waltzed over to give her husband a kiss on the cheek. And Sasuke…Sasuke remained hidden underneath the comforter, although he was shaking more nervously than before.
"Sasuke, why are you still in bed? The party has started already and the main guest isn't out yet." Fugaku scowled. Before he could continue to scold their youngest, Mikoto interrupted him with her own question. "Is everyone here already anata?"
Fugaku, attention temporarily averted, turned to his wife, not really caring that he noticed Itachi dragging his little brother from out of the bed and out of the room. Whatever gets that child out of that damn bed and out making connections is fine with me. "Only the Namikazes are missing. Knowing Minato, he probably overslept and Kushina-san just managed to wake him up."
Mikoto chuckled at her husband's comment.
-----With the Uchiha brothers-----
Itachi gazed at his younger brother with a slightly affectionate look as Sasuke walked beside him. Before they left the pathway that would lead them to the party, the younger of the two stopped.
"Do I really have to, aniki?" Sasuke pleaded once more.
Itachi couldn't help but ask, "This isn't like you, Sasuke. What's got you so scared that you don't want to go outside?"
Sasuke mumbled something incoherent. Itachi asked him to repeat himself. In a small voice, Sasuke said, "Fan girls."
His older brother looked at his otouto before bursting out laughing. Sasuke scowled at his brother. I thought aniki would understand. I see those fan girls following him to and from school all the time!
Chuckling a little bit more, Itachi spoke to his little brother. "Not all of the girls out there will be fan girls. I'm sure that you will find a new friend or two who will give you a run for your money."
Sasuke gave a good attempt at the Uchiha glare to his brother which flew right over Itachi. "Hn. Like girls will ever be as good as boys."
Sasuke walked out into the garden where he was crowded by little girls his age. Itachi chuckled to himself once again as he snuck into the garden without any attention garnered from his own fan club. Poor little otouto. That attitude is going to get him in trouble one day.
------Some time later------
Naruto was bored. This party is more boring than the time that Kaa-san took me shopping for..ugh…dresses. The youngest Namikaze had fun earlier when she found a girl her own age to hang out with. She had made a friend earlier with one Hinata Hyuuga, but she had already left with her father after hearing that her mother, Hitomi, was in labor. She smirked before deciding to explore the garden grounds.
If those that knew the blond could have seen her face, they would have run for the hills screaming. Unfortunately, no one was around little Naruto so no one could have prevented the next couple of events from happening.
After one tipped over fountain and several dogs being let loose out of their kennels, mysteriously of course, Naruto finally say some other kids her own age.
Upon sighting a group of boys playing cops and robbers, Naruto ambled eagerly over them.
Sasuke frowned when he saw the blond girl in the flower dress walk over to him and his friends.
"Can I play with you guys?" She asked while tilting her head to the side slightly. Cu…cute!
Before the birthday boy could speak, another of the boys answered. "Sure! I'm Kiba! What's your name?"
Naruto smiled widely, making one small Uchiha to have a faint blush on his cheeks. "I'm Naruto, Kiba-kun! So what are you playing?" She said chipperly.
"We're playing cops and robbers. I'm a robber, want to be a robber with me?" Kiba asked eagerly to his new friend. Naruto smiled even brighter at the young boy. A scowling Sasuke looked at their interaction with a hint of some emotion that he refused to investigate.
Before he even registered what he was doing, his mouth got ahead of him. "No."
The rest of the boys and Naruto looked at the Uchiha. Refusing to back down under so many stares, the boy repeated himself. "No, she can't play with us."
"Why not?" Naruto asked with a small pout. It had better be anything but…
"Cuz you're a girl and everyone knows that boys are better than girls!" Sasuke said with a sneer.
Naruto started to tear up at his words. The rest of the boys, aside from Kiba, sided with Sasuke. After all, he was an Uchiha. Kiba, on the other hand, even with his five years of living knew how powerful (and crazy) girls could be; his sister and mother were his prime examples.
"Oh come on! She can still play with us!" Kiba tried to say, but Sasuke talked over him.
"No, girls should stick with their dolls cuz they can't keep up with us boys!"
Murmurs of agreement came from the Uchiha's lackeys. A trembling Naruto Namikaze tried to prevent her tears from falling.
Sasuke laughed while he looked at the blond girl. Something in his stomach flipped when she raised her head and looked at him with intense cerulean eyes. Before he could even react, a small fist made contact with his right eye.
The only thing he noticed before slumping to the ground was her back to him as she walked away with her head held high. Kiba howled with laughter before trailing after the girl. The other boys stayed behind and were the unfortunate victims of one Itachi Uchiha's glare when he stumbled upon them and his brother slumped on the ground.
And that is the end of chapter 1 Prologue. This is the start of the childhood arc. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Read and Review. That's my motto, lol.
