Through the ear ringing silence Kasumi suddenly heard someone screaming, and started to do so herself. Then a blinding light fell over her eyes.

"She's beautiful!" someone gasped. She was placed on some giant's chest. I mean who had a large enough chest for a sixteen year old to lie comfortably?

"You should rest Tsunade-Sama."

"Wait Shizune! Don't…" Kasumi felt herself being lifted from the chest where she had been resting. Gone were the comfortable position and the pleasant smell. She started to cry without thinking about it. Another pair of hands got a grip around her and put her down again. Kasumi immediately stopped crying.

"Very well Tsunade-Sama. But what will you call her?"

"Hmm… what about… Kumiko?" Kasumi's heart skipped a beat. What was happening! They were NAMING her!

"Kasumi." She tried to say. But it was hard getting sounds out and it ended up like 'cushumi' instead.

Dead silence.

"Kasumi? Yes I believe that is perfect… Good choice Shizune!"

"But Tsunade-Sama…. I didn't"

However it seemed this 'Tsunade' had fallen asleep. In Kasumi's head it sounded as if a thousand busy bees were swirling about at once and she found herself tired and fell asleep as well.

It had passed several days since Kasumi's 'birth'. During which time she had found out a lot of things, like that her 'mother' was targeted by many people, that Kasumi herself was reduced to baby stage, and that her 'sister/aunt' Shizune had a strong disliking for baby cries.

She had faced the many horrors like breast-feeding and diapers. Had been carried about in a bag and left in public TWICE. And yet she was just two weeks old. The Kasumi inside was starting to miss her old life and her old mom. But she was also so extremely curious to this new world and already loved it.

Kasumi had now turned 5 and could talk very well for her age. She hadn't told anyone about her memories and kept them mostly to herself.

"Mommy?" Kasumi was walking alongside Tsunade as they were heading to a new city.

"Yes?"

"The town you are from, Kowoha, can we go there?"

"KoNoha Kasumi. And why would you want to go there?" Tsunade's face was tight and expressionless.

"Because I want to become a medic ninja!" She said and laughed for no particular reason.

Tsunade contemplated this for several minutes.

"Very well then Kasumi. But I warn you it will be tough!" Kasumi sent Tsunade her biggest puppy eyes and Tsunade's face softened.

"Tsunade-Sama! Kasumi!" Kasumi turned around joyously to see Shizune come trotting out from ahead where they had been heading.

"Shizune!" Kasumi shouted joyously.

"I'm going to become a Shinobi!" (Means the same as Ninja.) Shizune looked worriedly up at Tsunade who shook her head warningly.

Inside Kasumi was bubbling with excitement. She knew Tsunade had been a Shinobi and that she was wickedly strong.

But for a five year old she wasn't too bad herself. She could use minor ninjutsu, run very fast (for her short legs that is) and perform one or two genjutsu. Her mother was harsh in her training.

When Kasumi and her mother and Shizune arrived in Konoha Tsunade left Kasumi with Shizune to find somewhere to live while Tsunade herself would go and enroll Kasumi into the academy and meet with the Hokage.

Once Shizune and Kasumi had found an apartment Tsunade showed up with a bright smile. It turned out she had immediately been given the position as the head of the Shinobi medic team. The enrollment of Kasumi had also gone well and she was to start already the next day.

Title of next Chapter: My first day at the academy!

I know my chapters aren't long, but I promise that there instead will be rapid updates!
