Hey, my name is anime-freak718; this is a remake of my first fanfiction: Uzumaki Akiko. Some things will be different, but I will add some old things in, so the people who read my first fiction will recognize some things. I own Akiko, but not Naruto.
Disclaimer: I own Akiko, and all the attacks/Justus and characters that I made up in this story.
Chapter 1- Mission Accomplished and Iruka's Job
Night. Beautiful night. No light. It burns. The cold wind blew across the sand village. She put the kunai knife aside and stared at her arm. Beautiful blood. Was she strong? Or was she just pretending all this time? Could she really forget him? How foolish she was… to think that she could forget that easily. It wasn't easy…at all. She smiled weakly. Burn the light. Burn the light. She couldn't be happy. If he was here…if he could see her now…he'd tell her to stop. Or would he? Maybe he wasn't like himself now. No, he was different. Not even a glance at her, not even a smile. What was wrong? She felt alone, all alone. It was happening all over again. But was it her fault? No. It wasn't. Something happened. She knew. But did he have to pull away so much?
She sighed. She got up and bandaged up her arm. A knock at her door. She turned around and walked to the door.
"Who's there?" she asked before opening the door. No one answered.
She pulled out her shurikens.
She heard a rumbling sound from beneath. An earthquake? No. It felt strange…Suddenly, the ground split open and strong roots grabbed her by the legs.
"What the…!"
The roots dug deep into her legs. She dropped her shurikens and closed her eyes. What the hell was going on? Suddenly, the door opened in front of her. She opened her eyes and looked out. But there was nothing there. A long, black shadow passed beside her. Then, a man in a long black coat stepped into the room. No…wait. He didn't have any legs! Or at least, she couldn't see them. All there was was the end of the coat, flying in mid-air. She tried to spot his eyes, but there were hidden under his black top-hat. He had blondish-whitish hair up to his shoulders. He was smirking.
Then, the black shadow reached up and gripped her neck. She couldn't breathe. The man reached into his pocket and took out a knife. This knife looked quite weird though. It was silver, and had strange lettering carved into the side. The man thrust the knife into her stomach.
She screamed out. Pain burst throughout her body. Tears formed into her eyes and ran down. Then, blackness enveloped around her. All she could see was the dark. Then, she heard nothing. Her head slumped down, and blood trickled out of her mouth.
"Mission accomplished"
The warm breeze blew across Konoha. It was evening, and the sun was setting. On one street, there was a tiny little ramen shop. An eager genin sat there, waiting for his miso ramen. He smiled at looked around at all the people walking up and down the street. When his food was ready, he began eating, noisily of course.
"Naruto-kun!" called a small voice from behind him.
"Hm?" Naruto turned around and looked at the person who called him. It was Hinata Hyuuga, his friend.
"Hinata! Come sit here! Do you want some ramen?" he asked, calling Hinata over.
Hinata walked over to where he was sitting and sat beside him. She said she wasn't hungry, so she passed on that. They began talking and laughing. But then Hinata could feel eyes watching her.
She quickly told Naruto she had to go and left. Naruto just stared at her. When Hinata said she had to go, she seemed scared. Naruto brushed aside any more thoughts, and began eating the rest of his soup.
The fifth Hokage sat in her chair, deep in thought. Piles of paper surrounded her. A sake bottle lay on the ground beside her desk. Shizune stood at the door of Tsunade's office. Tonton stood beside her and squealed.
"I called you here because….I think you should tell him. Tell him about her," Tsunade finally said after about an hour of thinking.
"Wha-! Me! Why me!"
"Because you're smart," replied Tsunade, looking confused.
"Why not someone who Naruto actually knows!" asked Shizune.
Tsunade snapped her fingers, as if a thought suddenly struck her.
"You're right! Bring me Konohamaru!" she exclaimed.
"Wha-? How-? Ko- Konohamaru!" Shizune shouted, shocked.
"Then who?" asked Tsunade.
"Why not Iruka!"
"I didn't think of that. Send him here immediately."
Shizune sighed.
"Come on Tonton," and then she left the building.
An hour later…
"What! Why me!" yelled Iruka, shocked.
"Because you're smart," said Tsunade, confused.
Iruka sighed and left the building, in search of Naruto.
"I'd check the ramen shop first if I were you!" yelled Tsunade through the door. Iruka sulked and took off.
Naruto finally finished his fourth bowl of ramen and sat back. All that ramen…and all for free too! (A/n he had coupons)
He turned and looked at the street and saw Iruka walking toward him.
"Iruka-sensei! Over here! Want some ramen?" asked Naruto, happily. Iruka shook his head and smiled nervously as he took a seat beside Naruto.
"What's up?" asked Naruto.
"Naruto…I have something to tell you," said Iruka. He concentrated on the table in front of him, suddenly finding it interested.
"What is it?" asked Naruto, suddenly serious.
"You…They've found your sister."
"Ok, I'm defiantly feeling the ramen now."
That's it. The first chapter remake of Uzumaki Akiko. Tell me what you think. If you're an old reviewer, or reader, tell me which chapter you preferred, this one, or the last one. R and R!
