Aim High
Prologue:
A Lady from our world is reincarnated in the Naruto world. What could go wrong? Well let's just say she has a big ambition... to be a hokage.
Warning! The oc is a little bit OP.
Chapter 1:
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and its characters. All names of people you can find it here dead or alive are all coincidences. The places, events, and information you can find it here are all fictions or used fictionally.
I don't know if I should feel happy or worried knowing that I was just reincarnated in Naruto world. Well happy because with my knowledge I can experience many new adventure, worried because I just found out that I'm born during the timeline of Uzumaki Naruto I'm just three years older.
A month after my third birthday that the Kyubi attack happened 'sigh' let's just say that I was nearly scared to death. Luckily I did not die I was one of the many children who went into a coma after the attack. When I woke up my mother was worried sick for me. According to them I was in a coma for six months. Imagine that! And here I am feeling tired and weak.
My parents named Aki and Ryu Haruno were both from a civilian family. Well based from their stories my mom is just chunin and my dad is a merchant. According to them they had a love at first sight when my mom was still a genin. Her team has a mission to escort some merchants in a business trip. My mom and dad met and fell in love during that trip.
It's been a month since I woke up from my 'slumber'. Ever since I found out that I'm in the Naruto world I have been asking too many question to my mom to the point that my mom ask this particular question: "do you want to be a ninja my young butterfly?" Imagine her shock when I replied with "of course! My dream is to become a hokage!"
Well people who know the work of a hokage (ahem… paper works) will certainly refuse to be one. Not me though. I know that being a hokage might screw the plot but I don't care. This is my life, this is my dream. Who knows I might change the ending for the better… or worse but I'll cross the bridge when I got there.
My mom just smiled at my declaration. A genuine but it also shows that she does not really believe that I will do it when the time comes. Ever since that day my mom started to show me some exercises saying that it will prepare my body for the next lessons. She also started telling me about chakra and how to access it. Because in my past life I have never felt a chakra within me, now I can clearly feel it as clear as I can see but I never mentioned that. Sometimes it is good to keep it a secret.
I am currently in my room practicing my chakra control. My mom doesn't know this but I can now form some chakra strings and I'm currently manipulating my dolls, my father just gave me during my third birthday. It is still six in the morning so I still have a lot of time before my training exercise began. So I'm really surprised when my mom knock at my door "honey are you awake?" I was caught by surprise so I quickly retracted my Chakra strings causing the dolls to fall into the floor. Well there's no going back now. "Yes mom I'm awake" I said. My mom slowly opened the door and entered the room. I noticed this is really too early "mom what's going on?" I asked I seems to have caught mom in her train of thoughts " oh… well honey it you see an old friend of mine invites us on the first birthday party of her youngest son we should start preparing.
And so my day started with being forced to come out of my bed 'tch' I got this habit of going out of bed only at seven thirty. I don't know most of the logic of this world really I mean I am three years and a six months old and my mom just let me take a bath on my own. What! Maybe because of the a little bit maturity I'm showing to them or the fact that chakra gave us more strength and balance that my mom is confident that I can take care on my own.
Anyways after bathing and wearing some clothes, I went to the kitchen to eat a breakfast. My mom prepared a ham an egg and juice for breakfast. "Honey that is not a proper clothes for the party that we are attending at" my mom said sternly. I looked at myself. I'm wearing some green T-shirt and brown pants. At far as I know my clothes does not have any tear or stain in it. Back in my old world this kind of clothes is enough to wear and go outside the house. Apparently it's not, "honey" my mom started with a sigh "this birthday party that we are attending at is being held by one of the noble clans of Konoha, go wear one of the formal kimono your father gave you" she said.
Speaking of my father, he's out of town and he's been giving me some of gift every time that he came back home. Kimono is one of his many gifts. My mom is not really the type of person who just gave gifts. She only gave gifts if there a special event like birthday.
I went to my room after eating to change my clothes into a kimono. I choose to wear the one of the thinnest and lightest kimono that I have. Its color violet with a decorations of yellow twigs on its edges. I am currently standing in front of my really big mirror.
I am Haruno Ren, the only child of my parents, has a different appearance from my last body. I'm tall for my age my parents say. I have this turquoise colored eyes which is a mix from my parent's eye color. I have a really fair skin, and a long wavy … black colored hair. 'Phew'… I'm lucky I don't have those pink colored hair.
We are currently walking to wherever this birthday is. And you can imagine my face gawking at the old styled buildings. I have never really been out of the house the entire time except for when I am at the hospital and the Kyubi attack well you know what I mean.
My eye is twitching like crazy. Of course who else in Konoha belongs to a noble clan has a youngest son in this timeline, it's no other that Mikoto Uchiha, Kiba is not a youngest son he's a youngest child because he does not have an older brother. I'm actually standing in front of her right now. ".. So this must be Ren chan huh" she said while cooing at me. I zoned out not minding what they are talking about. It's not like I care they'll just talk about something I really don't care. She ushered us inside the house into the backyard where the party is taking place.
It seems that everyone is here well except for the Hyuga. Well considering their rivalry of who has a stronger dojutsu, I'm not really surprised.
I'm just sleeping on one of the couch that is just laying around when somebody dared to wake me up. What the! I opened my eyes and about to give this person a piece of my mind when I saw something that makes me groan instead. Itachi Uchiha. Yep! It's him it looks like he's at the age of six. "What is it?" I asked instead of being a bitch. This is their house after all, and I'm just a guest.
"Your mother is looking for you" he said with a curious look in his face. "Ugh… of course she is" I said while getting up from the couch. I looked at him contemplating what to say. I know who he is and base on how he talked to me I think he knows who I am too. Anyways I still choose to be more polite. "My name is Haruno Ren and you are?" I asked in a bored tone. "Uchiha Itachi…" okay so he's not much of a talker eh? I noticed he's still staring at me "So can you kindly lead me to my beloved mother" "hn" then he started walking away towards the backyard. I just followed. I'm kind a still annoyed because of my disturbed sleep and my mom walking me up in the early cold morning.
I saw mom talking to the adults present, so I started walking towards her. "Honey where have you been? I've been looking around for you" she said when we approached their position. I decided to answer in something she understands but vague to others "I'm enjoying my life" I heard a chuckle when I look up I saw none other than Shukaku Narra well it seems that some still understands. "Honey do waste your time sleeping around? How about spending time playing with other kids" she said while looking at the far left. I followed her gaze and it landed to the bunch of kids all are less than two years old some are crawling most are doing something I have no idea about maybe things that young kids does. I looked at my mom annoyance is clear in my face "Not. A. Chance"
We just stare at each other. It is clear that my mom doesn't like my reply and waiting for me to change it. Like hell I would! I just woken up from my sleep and now I'm being forced to play with those… "Well if that's the case…" my train of thoughts are interrupted by no other than the Uchiha matriarch herself. I did not hear what she's talking about for she is whispering to my mom's ear. Shit! I'm sure that I saw those glint appear in my mother's eyes.
"Well if that's the case…" my mom started in a sweet tone, too sweet to be normal 'shiver' Mikoto san continued "you are going to spend time with Itachi chan then ne?" Err… what?! "What?" I said confused. "Well since you are too mature to play with children younger than you are going to play with Itachi chan instead" mom said with the tone of finality in her voice. I groaned and turned at my back to look at Itachi who is still looking at me. " well" I started with a tone of bored and also questioning "do you know any way to spend some time without going under the sun and not doing too much physical movement?" he nod just nod and started going inside the house. I heard in my background the adults talking, more like Fugaku and Mikoto arguing. I failed to hear what Fugaku just said but I some of what Mikoto had said, something on the line of 'Itachi needs to be a kid sometimes' or whatever but that's enough for Fugaku to stop arguing.
We are currently sitting facing each other in between us is a shogi board. yes we are playing, and if you are thinking that I'm winning due to my past experiences well you are absolutely wrong it's too bothersome trying to win so I just play and move whatever is available. He seems to notice this because he's giving me some looks. I think he's expecting me to take this game seriously. I ignored him, just an hour more and we'll be out of this place.
I thought he's just going to continue not mind me carelessly move my pieces but… "Ren san why are you moving your pieces so carelessly?" that caught me off guard but I make sure that my face didn't show any sign of being guilty. Damn he sure has a really long patience, we've been playing what? Fifteen games now and in all those games I have never played seriously and it took me long time to move. So it's been hours and I have been starting to think that he has a patience that can even match a very old monk. But now it seems he's just playing with me just because his mother told him so geez talk about a very obedient child.
"He's right Ren chan, why are you not taking this game seriously?" I was shocked. I looked at my left and saw Shukaku san leaning at the door frame. He smirked while starting to walk near us. This time I noticed the other adults are also inside the house now. It seems that they are expecting me to respond specially my mom. So I shrugged. "There's no point of trying to win if there is no good reward waiting in the end" I said that making the adults laugh some just snicker. "Well then my young butterfly what kind of reward do you like so that you will play seriously?" My mom asked. Young butterfly huh, my mom calls me that only usually only when they are serious about something she usually calls me honey my father is the one who calls me young butterfly I don't know why though.
I moved my queen without actually thinking about it then he moved his piece and then check… mate I lost again. I shrugged "hmmm I want the freedom to be able to wake up only when I want to" I replied to my mom using my usual tone which is bored tone. This causes Itachi to look at me. The look of interest came back on his eyes. The others seems to have been paying attention to us more closely looking between me and my mom wondering what would happen next. Mom seems to be in deep thoughts and then she smiled. A really odd smile. "Young butterfly what you are asking is something almost impossible…" Yes! So there's a chance that my mom would stop waking me up early in the morning. I can't stop myself from grinning like a Cheshire cat. My mom smirked and like a kill joy she is … "you must win a game with Shukaku san however if you lose you have to wake up every five o'clock" just like that my smile dropped and I looked at him. A smirk formed in my mother's lips "so you are going to play?" I contemplated it if I'm going to play, aiming to win they'll surely know how intelligent I am but it will be worth it.
I smiled, looked at her in the eye "do we have a deal?" She seems shocked at my reply. "Hahaha you sure about that kit? You are betting your free hours in the morning every day for your whole lifetime" Tsume said as if worried but one look in her face and you can clearly tell that she is very interested and want to see me play seriously. Just what had my mom had been telling them? "I promised that I will never back down from my word" that phrase seems familiar but it seems that it's a common phrase here in shinobi world.
The game starts with me being the white while Shukaku san being the black. This time I did not just move my pieces just so that the game will be over. This time I think over a dozens of times before moving a single piece. If our game was a fight with real weapon, it would have been a really bloody fight.
The game end with me being the winner. Shukaku san isn't so shocked about this for he has seen it coming a few moves before. I couldn't say the same for the others though. No one was talking for a very long time some even tried to rub their eyes in hopes that they are just hallucinating. I stood up from my sitting position point at my mom as if accusing her and said "you better not go back from your words mom!" my words seems to have snap them out of their shock. "It seems that you have earned yourself an unlimited time of sleep my young butterfly" my mom said proudly. "You really are something kid, nobody ever beats Shukaku in shogi" Inoichi said looking at me with a different light in his eyes. The remaining time goes on as the adults recognize my victory. If you are asking about Itachi, well he's… right in front of me.
" I just want to say that it creeps me out that you are staring at me as if I had grown another head" I just want to make my point. "Why did you hold back when we are playing?" He replied "as I said there's no point of trying to win if there is no good reward waiting in the end" I told him then I started walking to mom to tell her that I wanted to leave before any unexpected event will happen.
This so far my first story,I don't plan on having any pairings.
