Summery: Waking up as the twin sister of Naruto was surprising and for just a moment I thought of all the things I could change. But there is a reason why no one wants to be reborn as the blonds sister, especially his twin.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but Shioko is mine
AN: This is going to be very AU, so be prepared.
Prologue
I was just your typical average girl, made average grades, had average looks and a boring personality. Despite how... boring I was I did indeed have a passion. Anime. The love of my life, the apple of my eyes and the only thing that made my pitiful existence has something to look forward to.
I had many favorites, but the one I lived like no other was Naruto. The series was just so awesome and it had ninja. How cool was that? And chakra sounds so amazing.
It's probably unsurprising that my favorite character was Naruto, there was hardly a show I watched where the main character wasn't my favorite and Naruto wasn't one of them. The blond was so strong, at least mentally; I don't think I could endure the hatred that he faced daily since he was born and come out of it smiling like an idiot. And he was an idiot, don't get me wrong. Though I love him (as weird as it sounds to love a made up fictional character) I was hardly blind to his faults. He was an idiot, though he did have his moments of surprising genius (plan to defeat Zabuza at the beginning of the Wave mission and rescue Kakashi), kind of a jerk though that's no surprise given his upbringing and sadly wasn't that strong.
I know I said he was strong earlier, but that was mentally. Physically, or rather shinobically (made it up) he is actually one of the weaker characters. I know that he has the sage arts but almost all of Narutos victories could be attested to the Kyuubi or Kurama (or Kura-chan as I like to call him). He was losing against Haku when he accessed the fox's chakra, allowing him to beat Haku, he needed to get it again when defeating Gaara, and against Pain he was losing and would have been taken if not for Hinata stepping in and then Kyuubi taking over and going on a rampage and weakening the Rinnenagan bearer exponentially.
And I know that against Gaara it should be considered equal seeing as how they both used the demons power, but there is something many forget to consider. Gaara was raised to rely on the ichibis power and fight with it. Naruto was not, but instead taught how to use his own power. Ergo the victory belonged to the Kyuubi.
But anyway, I loved Naruto, both the series and the character.
In the deeper parts of my mind I wondered what it would be like to be thrust into the Naruto world, maybe as a character or a sibling. I read a lot of self insert fanfics, and quickly got hooked into them. Some where someone is thrust into the Naruto world and try not to change things but somehow always do, where some take the place of a character they are unable to act like and end up screwing with things, and even some where they ends up as siblings to some of the rookie nine or other characters.
But for all my searching I have yet to find one where someone becomes Narutos sibling, which is kinda unexpected considering he's the main character and all. I guess no one wants to have a Mary sue or something.
But still it would be so cool to be Narutos sister and be a ninja.
I would make a horrible ninja though given my lack of observational skills. Otherwise how else could I have missed that giant tow truck coming right at me?
Dying never seemed so lame before.
~~
Waking up was something of a surprise to me. I honestly expected to be dead after that truck ran me over.
Hah, guess I'm tuffer then I thought. But wait- where was I?
It looked like some kind of stone dwelling place, smooth rock covering g every inch of the place. Turning around in a circle was kind of strange, my body sluggish as if hindered by something.
I glanced down, concerned-and HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE HELL! WHY AM I TRANSPARENT?!
My body was see-through, and I was floating! And I was naked. WHAT THE HELL!
I twisted and turned in my little spot in the sky, floating towards the wall and watching with a disturbed curiosity as my hand went through the wall.
Huh. So does this mean I actually am dead?
"Push Kushina! The head is almost out!"
What? Another voice? Wasn't I alone in this place? Wait-did that voice just say Kushina? As in Narutos mother Kushina?
I whirled around, and in the center of the room was a bed where a beautiful long red haired lady laid, sweat dampening her forehead as she panted in exertion. Next to her, holding her hand was a spiky haired blond with bright blue eyes, his handsome face set into a nervous expression as one hand was being steadily crushed by the red head and the other glowed with energy around some kind of marking on the red heads body. At the red heads spread legs was an older women with white hair tied up tight in a bun with some kind of metal stick keeping it together, hands held out between the younger women's legs.
OH. MY. GOD.
Was this for real? Could it actually be? It was! Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina and Sarutobi Biwako, otherwise known as Narutos parents and the Sandaimes wife.
Was this a dream? Was I in heaven? What other explanation could there be for me to here?
I floated closer, realizing what I was witnessing. This was Narutos birth! This is so awesome! I must be the luckiest Naruto fan in the world, as long as this wasn't my imagination. If it was then it totally sucked!
"Gahhh!" Kushina panted as her body tenses, face set in pain and focus as she pushed.
"You're doing fine Kushina" Minato (the Yondaime I squealed) said cajolingly. He smiles tiredly, "this can't be any harder than taking down a platoon of Iwa nin" he joked.
Evidently Kushina didn't think that was funny at all as she glares at him from beneath her sweaty brow. "I'd like...to see you... Do this" she panted out.
"But I'm a man, I can't give birth to kids" the Yondaime continued teasingly.
"Not when I'm through with you"
The blond gulped, but smiled at successfully distracting his wife.
I was cooing on the side lines at the sheer adorableness of the two as they bantered. They really do love each other.
"Enough chatter you two. This is serious" Biwako scolded, before telling Kushina to push again.
When she did, a cry rang out, and Biwako showed the tired but excited parents their new baby, heading him to Minato first.
Grinning like a loon Minato held baby Naruto, marveling at him, before handing him to the exhausted Kushina who smiled down and cooed at her newborn son.
"My little Naruto" she cooed, giggling softly when he scrunched his face up in confusion.
"GAH!" Kushina winced as another contraction hit her. Minato quickly retrieved Naruto from his wife's arms and glanced at the seal holding the Kyuubi back.
"Everything seems to be ok" he muttered confusingly.
"There's another one" Biwako said as she got back into position, ordering Minato to put Naruto down on the small cot they had prepared and to get back into position in monitoring the seal.
"WHAT!" Kushina howled as she pushed again, tired but using every bit of stamina her family and status were famous for.
"Yes. Apparently you're having twins. My congratulations"
Hearing what was happening I could only gape in shock from my position over baby Naruto. Another baby? But Naruto doesn't have any siblings!
And and wasn't it around this time that they were attacked by Tobi?
Suddenly I was jerked forward by some invisible chain, and I landed on the floor next to the bed. Uh, what?
Getting to my knees I looked down at my chest to see that there actually were chains pulling me forward, the end leading right into Kushinas stomach but steadily going down.
I know I'm not the most observant person but wouldn't I have noticed a chain sticking out of me? Or at least one coming out of Kushina?
Suddenly, I felt a sense of vertigo overcome me, and blackness took over my vision. It felt like I was being shoved down a too small tube and I screamed.
Coldness enveloped me, but was driven away by warm but wet hands holding me. I opened my eyes (when had I closed them?) and after blinking a few times to get rid of the black spots and stopping the urge to scream I looked into the old face of one Sarutobi Biwako, who was easily recognizable despite the blurriness of my vision.
"Congratulations Yondaime-sama, Kushina-san, it's a girl"
Old lady say what?
I was passed to Minato (ofgodohgodohgod!) and cradled gently. Was what was happening really happening? Was I just reborn? As Narutos sister no less?
"She's beautiful" Minato (daddy I thought in shock) whispered, rubbing his giant hand against my cheek. He grinned suddenly, "she looks all like you Kushina" he said, passing me over to my new mother.
"She does doesn't she 'ttebane" Kushina said, holding me to her chest.
This wasn't good, this wasn't right! Stop concentrating on me I tried screaming, Tobi is coming! All that came out were small high pitched coos that had the Kage level couple cooing back.
"Guh" followed by a slump.
Both turned, and by extension myself as well to see Biwako collapse, her eyes already turning cloudy in death, and I wailed in fright.
"Biwako-sama!" Kushina yelled, clutching me closer as she stared at the body of the elder women.
"...I didn't expect to find twins when I came here"
The both of them whipped their heads around and Kushina cried in panic, joining my wailing as she saw an unknown man in a black cloak covered in red clouds look out them from behind an orange mask with a sharingan eye holding Naruto.
Tobi had finally come.
"Who are you?" the Yondaime demanded, standing infront of both me and Kushina, a tri-pronged kunai appearing in his hand.
Tobi didnt answer for a few seconds. "Who I am is of no concern to you Yondaime" he considered the infant in his hands for a few moments. "How about a trade. You're son for the Kyuubi"
Kushina gasped and tightened her hold on me. "Minato...Naruto-chan"
"No" Minato whispered.
Tobi just shrugged before disappearing. Minato moved faster than I could see and stopped a kunai from piercing me and Tobi from grabbing Kushina.
In a flash of yellow they were gone.
"Minato" Kushina cried, holding me tighter and my sobs desisted as I heard her cry. Looking up into my new mothers eyes I decided to try and be brave.
"It'll be ok Shioko-chan" she said to, trying to soothe me. "Tou-San will back soon with Naruto-chan"
Though we both tried, I knew it wasn't ok and she knew it wasn't ok. She knew that someone managed to sneak up on them without either of them noticing, and I knew already how this night would end; with both Minato and Kushina dead and Naruto -and now me- orphaned.
It wasn't going to be ok.
She kept muttering assurances to me and after what felt like forever someone finally came in, though it wasn't who we both were hoping for.
"You!" Kushina growled.
"Yes me"
"Where's Minato and Naruto-chan! Tell me you-" Tobis sharingan spun, and Kushina went comatose, her grip on me slackening slightly so that I slid down from her chest to lap.
I lay still, petrified, looking up at the man. He looked down at me for a moment, before picking up the both of us. He didn't say anything as he held me by my neck, Kushina by her waist, and we vanished into a sea of black before appearing else where.
I watched in horror as the Kyuubi (Kurama) was drawn out of her, the red chakra bubbling around her body, seeping of her eyes and nose and mouth and it was just so horrifying to watch.
After what felt like hours but was really only minutes she slumped to the ground as the red chakra went sky high, forming into a ball then expanding, taking the form of a giant nine tailed fox.
Remember how I felt petrified just by being in Tobis presence? Multiply this by a million and maybe, just maybe you'll understand the terror, the horror the ohmygodohmygodohmygod that takes hold of you and you see your life flash before your eyes.
The Kyuubi (Kurama) roared, and Tobi ordered him to attack Konoha. And the fox did, his giant tails swinging back and forth, the air generated from the moves uplifting trees and shattering the ground below, sharingan eyes peeking out from his face, proof of the control exerted over him.
Everything after that was a blur. I was still being held by the madman, and was forced to watch as the village was attacked and saved by the Yondaime.
Everything happened so fast, and before I knew it I was below both Minato and Kushina, one of the Kyuubis giant claws pierced through their stomachs as they told both Naruto and I that they loved us.
"-and Naruto-chan protect your sister. Keep all the boys away from her for me" Minata gasped out as Kushina finished.
I watched as his hand touched Narutos stomach, the seal forming there, and knew my new brother would still be a jinchuriki. That was not so unexpected, but when he placed his hand on my own naval, and I felt a slight burning sensation, it dawned on me what was going on.
I may not be observant but that didn't mean I was stupid.
Somehow, I myself had become a vessel, for the same demon as Naruto.
Kurama vanished, his red chakra going into the both of our stomachs and the seal, until nothing was left of the ancient being.
"Minato...Kushina" the Sandaime appeared.
The both of them smiled, their body slumping to the ground around Naruto and I.
"Hiruzen-sama" Minato gasped out, "please...protect them..." his eyes closed, his gasping getting shorter and shorter.
The previous and future hokage nodded, kneeling down to hear the last words of his students' student and heir. "I promise" he promised solemnly.
The yellow flash grinned before passing away.
"Thank you...Hiruzen-sama" Kushina also gasped out, managing to hold on just a little bit longer her husband. "Thank you"
"Kushina" Sarutobi whispered as he went beside the fiery harried women.
"Na-Naruto and Shioko Namikaze" Kushina whispered, turning her sea green-blue eyes towards us, "watch over them" she passed away, her face going slack with a peaceful smile on her face.
"I will" he picked the both of us up, ordering the anbu with him to pick up the Namikaze-Uzumaki couples bodies and headed towards the village.
As we ran there, I couldn't help but go over the day's events. I died and ended up in the Naruto world in a rush of excitement, and watched as it ended in tragedy. I became a demon container alongside Naruto, and was his younger twin sister.
I always thought that the Naruto world would be fun and exciting if I ever managed to get here.
It wasn't anything like that.
It was terrifying and horrifying and I didn't want to be here.
Unfortunately, as I would learn, there was no going back.
I left my average life for this one, and things would never be the same.
AN: So…what do you guys think? This wasn't anything like I planned it would be but I think it turned out alright, don't you?
Shioko means child of the tides. Thought it was appropriate given that Kushina was from Whirlpool. I thought of naming her Uzu… but Uzukami Uzu just didn't sit right with me.
Let me say this very clearly, this is going to be very AU. Shiokos presence changes everything, as you will soon see. Well that depends on how popular this story is.
Plus I'm working on Unknown Sun mainly right now, plus real life is taking priority at the moment.
Leave a review before you leave! They'll inspire me to write more :3
