Days went by and I tried to keep myself out of trouble, I felt really bad, for what I did, even though I was only curious. Yoshino and Shikaku kept me on a tight leash, they watched me at every moment, making sure I would not pull a stunt like that escapade ever again. It was kind of weird, I have never thought Shikaku to be such a worrisome type of a man, but I guess the fact that I was only two years old didn't help my situation.

I became bored easily, so I began reading all day and night, a fact that surprised my new parents. Most parents would be happy to see their child act so mature than others at the mere age of two years old, but no, that was not the case in my new family, both parents were worried about something. At first, I thought that maybe they saw Uchiha Itachi in me, but he was not a 'murderer'… Yet… Yeah, I should try to do something about that… I wanted to speak to the guy, wanted to be his friend and even after the massacre, I wanted to make him know, that I would be there when needed, even though we would be on different sides.

I was sitting on the porch, thinking about the future and what it would entail, when I heard Shikaku's voice (I really should refer to him as a father, shouldn't I?) he said something about 'troublesome Hyuuga and Uchiha' and that was when it clicked. Next year Neji's father would die… Heck, I wanted to step in, but who would listen to me? A freakin' toddler, babbling about stuff that would or would not happen. I could do nothing and it bugged me.

Maybe if I became Neji's friend then I could help him? Neji was one of the characters I really badly liked, so yeah, my three favorite characters were Kakashi, Neji, and Shikamaru. Three geniuses, one screwed completely up, one with daddy issues, and one being a lazy ass. Perfect trio. I really wanted to protect them, but what would happen if I messed with the plot?

Let's say, I would try to help Neji, he might kill me for that or maybe he would accept me, but then Naruto would not be the one beating his ass and giving him some brains. Maybe I should talk to Hyuuga Hiashi… right… Like that guy would listen to a little girl… I was stuck, not knowing what to do, I could not protect Neji… Damn it!

Shikamaru walked outside and sat down next to me. I didn't look at my twin, I was badly thinking about what might or might not happen, I shouldn't have been reborn, I didn't belong in Konoha, I belonged elsewhere, where I didn't have to worry about a future that entailed fighting gods or having creatures lurking around. Heck, Shikaku would want me as a ninja as well and I would not have a choice in that. In my other life, I was badly scared of blood, I was not cut out to become a ninja, I was a simple girl… No fighting spirit, no ambitions, nothing…

Shikamaru suddenly hugged me and for a moment I felt like everything was going to be okay.


Hello everyone!

This chapter is a short one, I just wanted to show the bond that was being created between the twins. This one and the following one will focus on bonding, then after that things will begin to pick up the pace a little bit. Besides, I wanted to show how the main character is still struggling to accept that new world in which she was thrown into and so this chapter and the following one will focus on that as well.

Other than that, why did I write that the main character watched Naruto until the Pain Arc? Well, I don't want her to know everything, and I also imagine her forgetting some parts of the anime. I mean if you watch it from the beginning it's inevitable that you will forget some not-so-meaningful parts, that's what I'm aiming for.

I don't own Naruto.

Have a nice read!

See you later in the week.
