Nicky Uchiha

Part 1

I woke on my fourth birthday to a loud crash. My mother was running around the house in utter panic. I got dressed for my, or what I thought was, my first day of shinobi training. I grabbed my pack and all my ninja tools and ran out to the kitchen.

My mother is a Haruno and that always seemed strange to people because you don't often see a half-haruno, half-uchiha child. My dad was an unimaginably good shinobi and on that day as I later found out had been called out for a urgent case. My mom saw me and she spoke franticly. "NICKY! GO GET MAX! WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!"

I had never seen my mom this way so I listened without hesitation. Max came running when I called his name. I had taught him how to escape cages and ties so he just chose to stay.

We left but in the chaos of the crowd, I lost mom. I just ran, I didn't know where I was going or what was about to happen but when I looked up into the sky I could see a red color in the sky. "Red sky in morning Ninja take warning." I whispered to myself and ran. I found that suddenly the streets were completely empty and I looked around.

Standing right there, at least three times taller than me was a demon. I froze but some sense inside my heat told me it was not bad. It then spoke to me, shrinking down to a less intimidating size. "Young Child… you show signs that you are willing to listen to my words."

I only nodded as a response. "Then hear me out. There is a demon headed your way, it is known as the NINE TAILED FOX." My eyes widened in response. That demon was known to be a destroyer of villages of even the highest caliber. "You know it? Good, makes explaining easier. It is intent on taking this village as well but while they should be preparing for that they are running from me!"

Gaining my courage, I spoke up. "Oh no! What can I do to help?" my strength was surly showing in my eyes. I had been learning to control my chakra from my father so I was already ahead of the other students in my class.

"Well, the demon is getting very close and there is only one way…. Though I hate to do this..."

"What is it? I will do anything!"

"If you willingly cut your hand and allow my soul to join with your own we may have a shot at taking down the nine-tailed fox."

"OKAY!" I said strongly and pulled out my kunai. I slashed my left hand. "Let's do this! I will not let this village fall!"

"This may hurt." He placed his paw on my bleeding palm.

Time around me stopped and all I knew was that paw resting on my hand. Blood dripped off my hand and then a red flash of light and the pressure on my cut deepened. I called out in agony but soon I could stand to look at my hand and saw a perfectly healed palm except for a scar in the shape of a star with a cut through it.

"DAM IT ALL!" the Wolf shouted. I looked toward the hokage's home and found the Nine-tailed fox had already been captured. It made me angry too and we ran and ran till we were up where the ritual to trap it had taken place.

My eyes flashed. "Old man."

The hokage jumped. "Young one?"

"How could you….to poor little Naruto? We, I mean I, could have stopped it!"

"NICKY! Calm yourself!" Wolf growled.

"fine." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "He will be shunned you know? No matter what you say to the people of this village will shun him." I found myself crying. "He will be alone… I can see it and I can't take it!"

Wolf looked up at me and yipped. "We still have a magnificent power that I can use right now. I can make you his age so that he won't grow up alone. "

"You can do that?" I yipped back.

"Who are you talking to?" the hokage asked.

"The Wolf." Was all I replied.

"Yes, do you want me to? You will lose no knowledge or strength. You will just be returned to the same age bodily wise as Naruto."

"Do it." It was a strange sensation. Steadily growing smaller till all I was, was a bundle of baby and clothes. "Hokage, can you alter my mother's memory?"

"Of course…" he seemed startled by the turn of events.

I stayed in communication with Naruto since the moment my mom thought it safe for me to play with other kids. Even though he had a friend, he still felt alone in the world.

On our fourth birthday, my mom gave us both a bunch of ninja tools and for the few weeks before school started, I taught him to use them. Mom was nice to him but I could never get Naruto to see that he was not alone.

It made me sad but in the weeks before joining the Ninja Academy, he became a prankster and I sat back and let fate lead his path.

I knew how he felt. I was half-haruno, half-uchiha. A combination rarely found and thought of as strange. Though at birth the leader of the Uchiha clan had seen me and done something even stranger… he accepted me a full member of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke and I were the last Uchihas. If Itachi had known I existed I'm sure the story would be much different but here we were now at the Ninja Academy.

I sat down next to Sasuke and Naruto sat by me. A bunch of whispers broke out in the rest of the class. "You see that one there? That thing doesn't deserve to be here."

My anger boiled. "QUIET! YOU SAY ONE THING MORE ABOUT THAT SUBJECT AND THINGS WILL NOT TURN OUT WELL FOR YOU!" the girl jumped and everyone except Sasuke grew wide eyed.

Sasuke just glanced over at me as if the outburst had barely peaked his interest.
