Added material.
I spent most of my first months laying next to Itachi, missing Fugaku, eating and sleeping. I could hardly sleep, I always felt strange tickling under my skin, flowing through me. I knew enough to guess it was chakra, I assumed I would eventually get used to it, but I've been alive fore three or so months and it still felt just as irritating, though I found it easy to move around my body. I didn't know what else to do with it so I'd move it from hand to hand, helped pass time. Which was good because I had tons of it. Mikoto would play with me and Itachi, and although I didn't particularly like the baby talk it was still fun and I adored being held, and I loved when she brushed my short curls. Me and Itachi didn't cry much, she had time to do her own things unlike most new mothers, so we were left alone allot.
It felt like Fugaku was never home. So after he was gone for nearly a week, or at least that is my guestimate, he finally came home, but he went to the kitchen to where Mikoto was. I waited patently for a couple minuets for him to come see me but he never came. I grew to love both Fugaku and Mikoto as though they where my real parents, they took care of me took me in even though they didn't have too. They where so loving especially Fugaku, at least towards me, who knew having a baby girl could melt this mans heart. As time went on and he still didn't come into the livening room where I laid beside a sleeping Itachi, I sat myself up, it honestly felt like I ran a marathon as my unused muscles tried to do what I was telling them, and I ended up folding in half completely before I could stay upwards. My large head was the problem its hard to keep it balanced, with little to no muscle. All this effort and he still didn't notice, so I decided to yell. Usually when I try to yell words baby noises come out but not this time. In a high pitched singsong wavering baby voice I yelled out;
"Daddy!" I heard all movement stop in the kitchen as though they where in shock. "DADDY daddy Daddy!" I yelled more, my two surrogate parents franticly came running to the living room door way, and starred at me. I clapped my hands, which was something my body just did when I got excited.
"Kina-Chan! What- did you -just say!" asked Mikoto, words breaking in between as if she had to force herself to speak or even ask. I suppose I should have gone slower than deciding to talk when I was only two-three months old, woopsie. I guess the sitting up would be startling too. Well to late now.
"Daddy!" I reached my hands up squeezing them open and closed, but lost my balance and fell backwards.
"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" Mikoto was exclaiming excitedly shaking Fugaku's arm. I sat back up to get a good look at Him, he was wide eyes stunned, if it wasn't for his ample amount of pride I'm sure he would be acting like Mikoto. "Kina-chan! Good girl! Your first word!" Itachi woke up and started making whimpering noises that would result into crying so Mikoto quickly scooped him up. I looked at Fugaku- Dad and scrunched my fists at him again wanting to be held. He seemed to have finally gotten out of shock and smiled, while scooping me off the ground spinning gracefully, unlike with Itachi you didn't have to be gentle with me, they would always comment on how sturdy I was. I laughed as air wooshed past me, then he snuggled me close rubbing his face against mine.
"what a smart girl Kina-chan." I laughed as his after work scruff tickled my face. He pulled away and looked at me. "say it again!" Mikoto laughed at his eagerness.
"Daddy!" I said touching his face, I reached my hand towards Mikoto and tried to say mom but a bunch of baby noises came out. I scrunched up my eyebrows and tried again. Mikoto kissed my hand an laughed.
"Its okay Kina-chan you can say my name a different day" they brought me and Itachi to the kitchen with them, they propped up a blanket so I could sit with them, while Fugaku held Itachi, though every few minuets he would turn to me and ask me to say daddy again.
It was four months later when Itachi spoke his first word, which was Momma, because he wanted to eat, they where just as excited though Mikoto was especially excited since he decided to say her name first, though my this time I was already using broken sentences, like "Momma hungry." or "miss daddy." though I walked when Itachi first spoke, not to try and take away from his moment but because they where with company in the other room and didn't hear me when I called.
We were in the living room together, I was sitting up playing with toys trying to entertain him with the sound of our green rattle but he kept sticking everything in his mouth, I knew the poor guy was hungry because everything I gave him he just tried to suck, he grabbed my long black locks which where down to my mid back, no one had the heart to cut them even if I would let them. Itachi always pulled on them and tangled his chubby little fingers in them, but this time he put them into his mouth. I tried to call to mom to get her to come feed him but they had a particularly loud guest over, so they couldn't hear over the rambling of the women they where with, and that's when it happened. Itachi realised none of the things I was giving him was food, and I thought he was about to start to cry, but instead he looked at me and yelled "Momma!" I sat frozen starring at him. These where his first words! It was cooler for him because he wasn't actually a grown up in a baby body. When I didn't respond he yelled a little louder. "MOMMA!" and than I instantly got to my feet and ungracefully ran to the kitchen, my legs kept giving, so I channelled chakra to them so I could make it to where our parents where having tea. I stood in the door for a second to catch my breath than spoke the most words I ever let myself before.
"Daddy! Momma! Tachi talk! He say momma! Tachi is hungry!" I was huffing and puffing from all the effort of running here and from speaking. Gosh this baby body had no stamina. All three grown ups starred at me stunned.
"Kina-chan! Your walking!" exclaimed Mikoto.
"And talking! Is that normal!?" yelled the loud red head women who sat across the table from them. Well maybe walking here wasn't the best idea, I had been crawling for a while, because knew it was incredibly weird for a 6 month to walk to steadily never mind run.
"TACHI IS TALKING!" I yelled to the grown ups hoping to snap them put of shock before they missed Itachi's first bout of speech. Dad was the first to calm down, seeing that all I wanted was for them to see Itachi.
"what was that Kina-chan?" he said with a smile, ugh finally a rational adult.
"Come on! Tachi said momma come see!" I ran across the hall to the livening room to where Itachi was laying. "Tachi say momma!" I poked his cheek to stimulate the feeding instinct in baby's to remind him he was hungry. He squirmed kicking out his legs;
"momma momma!" he said again, and I looked excitedly at the adults standing a few feet away. I clapped excitedly when I saw their faces, it was the same as when I first spoke. Exactly the same down to the oh my goodness's and Dad being stunned then sweeping Itachi into a hug, we even got to sit with the grown ups after wards. Tachi was feeding with Mom, and I was sitting beside their guest.
"Kushina Uzumaki! What's your name!" ohmigod ohmigod! Of course she is Kushina! How many other loud red heads are in this series, I silently cursed myself for being so stupid. She put out her hand and I shook it though my hand could only fit around her two fingers.
"Mujakina Uchiha!" I let go of her hand and grabbed an apple slice off the table and tried to bite it, though I forgot I didn't have teeth, and just gummed it to death. Kushina grabbed my face squishing it between her hands
"you are too cute Kina!" she gushed while my apple was half hanging out of my mouth. Her squeezing began to hurt so I grabbed my rattle and attempted to smack her with it but she dodged, finally freeing my face, I gave my father a terrified stare but he and mom just chuckled. "Wow, you have allot of chakra." She commented pulling her hands back from my face. "Can you use it?" She asked, I channelled some chakra to my hand with the apple slice in it, then turned it over, the apple sticking. It's good that it actually worked I only did that with random toys and blankets because I found it fun. "Wow, and your incredibly fast and strong for not even being a year old, I think your dad here could even start training you!" Mikoto sputtered.
"Kushina! Kina-chan is only 6 months old!"
"yeah but she moves and acts like four times that! She will be an excellent shinobi!" Kushina nuggied my head lightly, making me laugh. "I see what you mean by a magical laugh Mikoto!" what? Magical laugh? I went back to nomming on my apple watching Mikoto and Kushina go back and forth.
"Kina-chan is very advanced for her age but its to soon to start training." Mom fired back at the redhead. Before Kushina could answer Fugaku chimed in.
"I think its a good idea, teach her basic things, and simple chakra control, it will make her more advanced than we could ever have hoped. Also when Itachi-chan is old enough she can help him." he spoke to Mikoto.
"oh I know but it just feels wrong to have a little girl learning to fight, she hasn't even started teething, or been alive for a year." I tried not to laugh, I'd been alive for more than a year that's for sure, just not in this body. I smiled brightly at mom who had just put Itachi down on a makeshift bed of blankets.
"It's okay momma! If daddy thinks I can I'll do my best." honestly I just wanted a head start so Itachi wont leave me in the dust like I know he will in a few months, and find a way to save the Uchiha's, since I loved them more than I thought I ever would.

I had been used to wearing sleepers, and other pajama feeling clothing to it felt odd to be wearing a black kimono style shirt, I knew Mom had called it come fancy name, but I couldn't for the life of my remember. I also had black tights on, Mom had carefully wrapped my fists and fingers much like how I did in muay thai, she also wrapped my shins and feet. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I would still rather my black cotton onsie.
"Okay Kina-chan! Smile" I smiled up at my Mom as a bright flash went off. Well I didn't need to see anyways. "Let's go to the back with Daddy now." I smiled and nodded. We got to the outside veranda, then I looked sadly down at the stairs. Okay those looked scary. I took a deep breath sitting on the top one and slowly but scooting down as my parents watched with huge smiles, Another flash went off as my Mother took a picture. I reached the bottom smiling very proud of myself. Take that stairs, thought you could defeat me? I showed you.
"Okay Kina, come over here." Dad said.
"Yes Sensei!" I shouted standing in front of him in the grass, I could tell he was struggling to keep a straight face.
"Okay Punch my hands. As hard as you can." He said crouching down so his hands were at an easy reach for me. Well I don't know how much taijutsu differs from Muay, but punch can't change that much. I held my hands up close to my face, feet apart making sure I had a good stable low stance. I punched hard with my left, quickly bringing it back then hitting his hand with my right fist, quickly punching again with my left before hitting with my elbow. Not a taijutsu move I'm sure. It felt like I hit him hard, but I knew it only felt hard for me.
"Kina where did you learn that?" He asked, I just shrugged. "That was perfectly executed, though I'm not sure about the elbow move, but you did hit with it pretty hard. Okay do that ten more times." I did as he said. I was surprised when I was already sweating and tired after the ten reps. "Okay now show me a kick."
"What do I kick?" I asked, Unsure if my body could reach his hands. He smiled, then brought me over to a post that was wrapped in materiel, well at least for the bottom foot. I stood in front of it fists up, I pivoted my left foot outwards, bringing my right knee up the popping it out hitting the post hard, it was a pivot kick, I figured it was generic enough to not call attention to it. Once I planted my feet I stood on the balls of my feet hopping closer to the post, swinging my leg up as high as it would go, kicking the post hard with my shin before brings my leg back in and doing a full three sixty. Round house. I went back to my original stance. Pivoting my left heel, I brought my right knee up, then turning it over aligning my shin with the ground before snapping it out to hit the post, back round kick. Holy shit. This body sucks, I'm beat, literally. Is there oxygen in this air.
"Where did you learn that?" Dad asked as I fell on my butt panting.
"I don't know." I tell him breathlessly.
"I don't know those kicking styles, but they seemed perfectly executed." I smiled at him standing back up. "Well lets do ten reps of kicks and punches then we can call it a day." He said smiling...did he just say ten of the punches and kicks. God damn it. I take it back I don't want to train, let Itachi surpass me.
By the end of training I felt like crying, everything hurt, every muscle, and every damn movement.
"I need to get you a training partner I think." Dad said picking me up off the ground. "Though there are no kids your age training." He held me lovingly in his arms rubbing my back.
"sleepy." was all I could utter.
"Okay Kina-chan lets get you in the bath then to sleep." He whispered walking me into the house. "Your going to be a prodigy." he murmured seemingly to himself.
