The Kind Of Woman I Have To Be

Disclaimer - (Cause fanfiction is tricky ground and I hope not to offend the creator of the original story and get sued)

I do not own "Naruto", it belongs to its original creator Masashi Kishimoto. This is only a fanfiction that I was inspired to write by the original work. Please support the official release. Most of the media - such as the art and illustrations, gifs, video's, etc. used in this fanfiction - are from the web. Thus, most of them aren't mine (because I really, really can't draw) unless mentioned. To fit the story, images are also edited by various apps and websites. So they aren't mine, just edited.

Also if you own a picture or Video that I found online, and you either want your name added, or me to take it down. Please contact me and we can talk it out.

P.s. I also ask that you do not copy my work and publish it onto any other website. If you're gonna use my idea, please ask me (If you ask nicely, I for sure, will agree). If I don't contact you within a week, then just assume I'm giving you the all clear and go for it. Just remember to credit me.

I was also inspired to write this, and the idea for equivalent exchange, for one life to be born, one must be gone (That wording is mine), from the fanfic 'love leaves you scarred', It's a great fanfic and I highly suggest you go read it. It's also a Minato x oc love story.

{Katherine P.O.V}

When I came to, my first thought was, 'Where am I?' But then I remembered my talk with Destiny.

Looking out the window next to the bed, I recognized the town as the village hidden in the leaves. I really am here!

'But what time frame am I in?' I thought.

"You've only been in Konoha for a day. You'll be meeting Mito in a little while." A voice answered.

"Destiny?!" I called out.

"The one and only." the blue haired women laughed, appearing in front of me.

"So this is real. It's not a dream?"

"Yeah, yeah." She answered. "Now go change. Like I said, you have to meet up with Mito in a little while."

"I see. So Kushina has just entered the leaf village."

Destiny smirked and thought, 'She figured that out in a heartbeat. I knew she was the right one.' She then proceeded to guide me off the bed and into the bathroom.

I wasted no time and got ready for the day.

As I wiped the mirror, I expected to see plain brown hair, and brown eyes. But instead I saw bright fiery red hair, and gorgeous light violet eyes.

My legs buckled and I collapsed onto the bathroom floor. I curled up into a tight ball, tucking my head between my knees.

'Oh right.' I thought. 'I'm no longer Katherine. I'm Kushina. That means I have to be loud, outgoing. Bold and fearless.'

'That's the kind of woman I have to be.'

'That's the kind of woman Minato fell in love with.'

'I've already taken Kushina's life. I killed her. She never even truly got to live because of me.

She never got a chance to grow, fall in love, or to hold her son.

The least I can do is give Minato some resemblance of the women he loved. It just may be one of the ways I can keep her alive.'

With that in mind, I used the edge of the sink to pull myself up, and walked out of the bathroom. I expected to see Destiny there, but she was nowhere to be found.

Instead, laying on my bed where the same clothes that Kushina wore, when she met Mito. A light skin peach coloured short kimono, along with a purple kimono vest. 'Kinda wonder if this would be considered cosplaying?'

On them, lay a note. It read:

I'd love to stay, but I gotta run. Gotta make an appearance in the wave country as a sacred deity. I promise I will tell you more about your situation and explain it to you when I come back. If an emergency arises. Don't hesitate to call. Just think of me, and I'll know. We share a psychic link, so it shouldn't be that hard to get in touch with me.

P.s. Burn the note.

~ XOXO D.

'Burn the note?' I thought. How the hell am I supposed to do that? Isn't like I know any fire jutsu's. Heck. I don't even know the first thing about using my chakra.

'Uh. Kill me now.' I thought. Only to shake my head to get rid of those thoughts. I really shouldn't think about things like that here. Because in the shinobi world. You really can die in the blink of an eye.

So instead, I crumpled it into a ball, and shoved it into the last drawer of the closet, which was sitting in a far corner of the room.
