Naru no Shunshin

Well here is chapter 2 so ya ya ya let me know if chapters too short etc...

Chapter 2 Enter Uchiha

4 Years have passed since the Yondaime Hokage `Defeated' the Kyuubi, Konohagakure is literally back to normal.

Buildings repaired, shops open, civilians all crowding the streets and Shinobi running across the roofs of the village about their business and all is calm.

Well... All except a certain busy Orphanage that is, children running around screaming playing and some occasions fighting. Nothing out of the ordinary here, That is until you come upon a young girl lying on her bed on her stomach, legs in the air swinging backwards are forwards reading a book without a care in the world to what the normal children her age are doing.

Not to say anything is wrong with the young girl at all, she smiles happily from occasion and sometimes goes out to play with the others her age, but to her everyone her age is just immature and altogether as to quote what she heard from a passing shinobi with an odd pineapple shaped haircut "Troublesome".

The staff at the Orphanage regard her as a very intelligent young girl, always reading and making games for other children to play, but she always got bored easily and would wander off outside the of the building and vanish for the rest of they day and return later in the evening, on some occasions she would return from the library with a new book to read in her room.

The staff never had any trouble with her at all she was polite and thankful no trouble at all even when the Sandaime visted a year ago to look around the building to to see how the young Orphans that where left on their own after the Kyuubi attack, most of the children didn't know who the man was and just ignored him and carried on running amok and the damn demon child had called him "Jiji" much to the staffs horror, the demon child was not the most liked child in the place at all, even the children seemed to pick up on the grown ups ignoring him and would do the same and sometimes blame him for accidents or any problems and would get away with it.

But the young girl unlike all the other children looked at the man with awed respect, she knew exactly who this man was. He was the leader of the village and maybe the most powerful in all the elementary countries and she showed him respect and bowed to the man who seemed to give a genuine warm smile to her as if he was proud of her and gave a small chuckle, he only stopped when he looked at her eyes and noticed she was looking at his anbu bodyguards weapons, especially the shuriken and kunai with what looked like stars in her eyes spinning and some slight drool came out of her mouth.

Not the average four year old he noticed, well hopefully she will be in the academy in a few years he thought as he went on his way.

But enough of the past now, the staff where very proud of their little prodigy as they called her.

The only trouble they ever had with the girl was her being brought back to the Orphanage by the occasional academy tutor, nothing serious only they keep finding her around the building sometimes watching what the other children where doing, the orphanage staff just brushed it off as her being advanced for her age wanting to hang around children more advanced than the ones around her.

Now the little girl Naru as the staff called her, seeing as she didn't seem to have a last name when she was brought in a day after the Kyuubi attack, the man explained he found her in the destroyed hospital and her name was Naru nothing more and he was gone. Naru didn't seem to mind, she just said that it would be easier if she was ever adopted by a family so she could just use their last name. This didn't bother Naru at all, it just seemed logical to her and hey what's wrong with just being called Naru anyway she thought.

Back to Naru now lying on her bed reading a book. Well the staff thought it was a book from a distance but up close you could see another smaller book hidden in front that Naru's eyes fixed on.

This was called "Basic Acedemy Justu and Guidelines" she stared hungrily at the page titled `Kawarimi no Jutsu - Body Replacement Technique'

"Hmm this is pretty simple." She thought "Switch places with a nearby item and gives the illusion of being hit." she mused over the page looking at the five hand signs needed to complete the justsu "What the hell! That's stupid not like some enemy kunai is going to wait for you to make the hand signs before it hits you! Gah!" she mused to herself and carried on reading the information about the jutsu and silently facepalmed herself as she finished. "When one uses this technique enough times and becomes familiar with the working of the jutsu and chakra requirement and moulding of chakra then the user will be able to use this almost instantly and without handsigns." she finished reading.

Now this may be odd to the other children and maybe some adults that a four year old was reading up on using techniques years in advance of going to the academy but not to Naru, she had read enough history on Konoha legends to know of someone called "Hatake Kakashi" who not only graduated from the academy and was a Genin at 5 and Chunin at 6.

She was slightly jealous of the man seeing as she had to wait another 2-3 years to enter the academy, well that's only because there was a war at the time so she just chalked it up to throwing out as much shinobi as possible to make the ranks seem bigger.

Naru was now memorising the hand seals from her "found it on the floor near the trash can `honestly that's where I found it! It was not locked in the teachers supply room' book" with a smile she stood up and looked around the room focusing on the plant near the window and did the seals for the jutsu "Ram Boar Ox Dog Snake!" she shouted and outside the room all you could hear was a loud smack followed by a crash.

Inside the room things where not looking good for young Naru, she was lying down in front of the wall by the window head facing the ceiling of the room and her head happens to have a slight red bump on it, and a few feet away from her head lay the remains of the poor plant in its shattered pot looking like it was a flower stuck in some dirt that was in a lump on the floor.

Naru groaned to herself rubbing her head, as she stood up slowly almost falling back down due to the large headache she got from the unexpected head first into the wall Kawarimi stunt, rubbing her head again she glanced at the now almost comical plant in the middle of the room.

"Well I don't think I'm going to be trying that again indoors any time soon." she frowned at the thought of bashing her head a few more times into the wall.

Naru sat back down on her bed and tried to think about what went wrong with the jutsu

"Well I got it to work, but not the way it should." she thought to herself

"Too little chakra and It wouldn't have worked out, so I guess I used too much chakra." she looked back at the wall which now had a small dent about head high in it. She frowned at the wall very hard almost daring it to come near her. "Yeah definitely too much," she sighed, it didn't feel like she used a lot, she tried really hard to hold back as much as she could, she had read that most people had to meditate to be able to find their chakra and then some more training to be able to bring it out.

Naru didn't have that problem, the chakra was always there and she could feel it inside her. She just figured she would have to practice a lot get it right, and then more practice to perfect it enough to be able to do it without hand seals.

If anything Naru was a perfectionist, she wasn't loud like the other children around her, she was smart. Very smart if anyone was to give her an IQ test she could probably come in second to a certain young Nara. If she couldn't do something well then she would work and work until she could do it. And if she couldn't do it then she would work on a better way to be able to do it and then master that.

She was also a modest young genius in the making, she didn't boast around the children of the Orphanage, it didn't really matter to her or her dream. Ah yes her dream...

Naru only had one dream for her future right now and that was getting stronger, getting into the academy and becoming a damn good Kunoichi not like some of the girls she had seen in the academy all dressed up thinking they are going to look cool being a ninja, HA!.

She wanted to be the strongest, the best female ninja in history, even better than Tsunade of the legendary Sannin, not a medic ninja, a full on hard hitting fast punching jutsu powerhouse ninja and make her parents proud.

She didn't know who her parents where, very few in the orphanage did know. But the thing most of them had in common was they where all around the same age as her, left behind after the fox destroyed most of the village's ninja population and most of the civilians that where on the edge of the village when a blast came tearing past the ninja sent to fight it. Obviously her parents died that night fighting it so she could live, keeping it back to protect the village. She didn't think her parents where civilians due to her large chakra at a young age, that's why she suspected she was the child of ninja and that's why she had a large supply of chakra.

She would get strong. To honor those who gave their lives so she could be here today. Although she thought about all this she didn't really go looking to find who her parents where, she would be her own person and do things her way.

"Right then time to go practice this damn jutsu!." Naru said to herself, she would get this right and perfect it till she could do it without hand signs. After cleaning up the plant mess and broken pot on the floor Naru got a change of clothes on and headed off out of the Orphanage to find a small secluded field between two training grounds, this was Naru's secret spot. The training grounds where only used by the fresh Genin and so far from the actual start of each ground where the two patches met was a small clearing surrounded by forest.

Naru now stood in the centre of the field, if anyone was looking at her they would see a young girl around 3ft8 and 40ib's with short red hair, she wore black pants and blue top, nothing special only your average clothes a young child in Konoha wears, well maybe not looking as good as they should be, mainly because Naru uses these when she wants to train or infiltrate buildings to `find' things people have thrown away, she is really quite skilled in doing that without getting noticed.

"Right then!" Naru declared to the ground around her as she looked around at the trees.

"Time for the good old Konoha Log replacement." she frowned to herself, she had seen the students outside the academy practice this quite a bit and it surprised her. The only thing that came to mind afterwards was "Konoha's gonna run out of trees if this keeps up for the next 20 years." she smiled to herself "Well better get to work then!." she then did some hand signs 'Ram Boar Ox Dog Snake!'

SMASH!

"KUSO!"

"Dammit!." she mutterd looking up into the tress above her "This is going to take some work" she sighed "Well nothing better to do for the rest of the week so might as well get this over with" getting back to her feet Naru looked over at the log in the middle of the field and then at the tree she came face first into "Maybe I should see if I can find myself a helmet first" she laughed.

As the week went on Naru came and went to the training field early in the morning and going back just before it was time to eat. She had got a lot of work done so far she was able to perform the Kawarimi perfectly without getting a face full of tree and was slowly working on doing It without hand signs which was a lot harder than she first thought it would be. She also noted how large her chakra reserves really where, she could continue doing this for 7-8 hours a day before becoming tired out, even when the jutsu only cost a small amount of chakra she was pleased with herself and guessed she had at least low genin reserves if not then high academy student reserves. She was close to perfecting it in practice now.

"Right down to the last seal so far, shouldn't be long before I can do it without hand seals." she stated and continued practice for the rest of the day.

Naru looked at her watch and decided she had better return before they noticed she was out late so she started to head off home out of the training field and into town, going through the streets dodging travellers and merchants towards her destination she suddenly hears a commotion at the end of street, she saw a man running out of a shop with a bag and a desperate look on his face.

"Stop him!." a woman comes out of the shop yelling to everyone on the street "Help someone! Thief!." The would be thief panics and runs crashing into a parked delivery cart sending it rolling down the street picking up speed.

Directly in front of the speeding cart stood young Naru. She didn't know what to do she panicked

'Is this it' she thought '4 years of life in a stuffy Orphanage and she was going to die here today, Orphan girl crushed to death by runaway vegetable cart' oh the irony of it all. All that training to be strong and she was going to die a pointless death at the hands of this monstrosity now only 10 feet in front of her 'No way in hell is that going to happen!'

She snapped out of her thoughts of death and remembered her training for the past week. 'Here goes!.' The cart now crashed into her much to the horror of everyone watching.

*poof*

Naru now stood next to a tree and watched as the cart demolished a log currently in the place she once stood, a smile now seemingly plasterd across her face.

"YES!." she shouted jumping up and down like a child with a new toy "Take that stupid tree log!." she grinned, the revenge for all her training had just been done. With an almost shit eating grin still stuck on her face Naru decided she had better get back home quickly before anyone noticed her.

Well she would have except she felt a hand on her shoulder holding her in place.

"Where do you think you are going little miss" came the calm collected voice from behind.

Naru stood frozen in place, wondering who was holding her shoulder, what did he want from her? She couldn't think of anything to say other than "I-I'm going home, yes that's where I'm going." she replied in a stutter.

"Oh really?." came the man's reply. Now Naru was worried, she had been warned about going out alone around the town countless times from various people, she knew this was not going to end well if this was one of those sicko's she had heard about.

The man seemed to sense her worry judging by the way her body tensed under his hand on her and decided to try and calm her down some.

"That was a nice replacement you did back there," his voice seemed much lighter now "Did someone teach that to you?." he asked. The girl in front of him seemed to loose some tension at the compliment. "N-no one taught me it, I learned it from a book this week." came her reply.

The man now seemed intrigued at the answer and even a small smile was now on his face. For a young girl around the age of 4-5 he guessed to be able to master a technique in a week, even young academy students still needed to use hand signs for it for maybe a year before they could perform it without them.

"That's impressive for someone so young to be able to do, you must be a hard worker that's for sure!."

Naru was now very happy, someone had noticed her for the hard work she does, being called a genius sometimes annoyed her. Like saying she did nothing to earn it, that was not true for Naru she was a genius and a hard worker. Always pushing herself forward.

"T-thanks!" she let out quietly, not wanting to show how truly happy she was.

The man let out a small chuckle as he looked at her back, she was still facing away from him. "So what's you name kid?." he asked in a serious voice. The girl in front now straightened back up, growing in confidence. "My name's Naru." she said as she turned to look at the man. "What's yours?." she asked as she looked up at the man, he was around average height and build, he had short dark unkempt hair that hung over and around his Hitai-ate. His eyes where dark brown/black in colour. Looking down she noticed he was wearing a dark high collared outfit. Altogether looking quite opposing to the young girl.

"My name is Uchiha." he paused drawing a breath. "Uchiha Shisui" he stated.

This was the day that would change Naru for the rest of her life, through the good and the bad, this was the day it all started.
