(Suzuki's POV)

I'm told I look just like my father. Everyone tells me so, even Hiro, my best friend. He says whenever I stand next to my dad that he can see the resemblance between us. Hiro and I have known each other a long time. We're practically related. His cousin, our teammate, Kenji Huyga is very much like his dad. He's quite and smart. All three of us have an IQ of over 200. We became genin at five and chunin at eight. Presently we are twelve and on our way to becoming ANBU. All three of us have mastered our kekkei genkei. Hiro and Kenji mastered their buyakugan and I have mastered my sharingan. We are the best chunin group in the whole village.

Today I'm walking around the village. Rethinking my life so far. Hiro and I have the same hair color, but he has three whisker marks on his cheeks and he has light lilac eyes, just like Kenji.

Kenji is handsome but he's too quite. I am too, but I know how to loosen up sometimes. Me? Well I have short spiked hair that I keep down, unless on a mission or using the sharingan.

If you're wondering I always walk over to the same place everyday. My cherry blossom tree, that Oto-san used to take me too when I was little. Now I come here, sometimes I see Hiro and Kenji, or just Hiro. But today was different, I saw Kenji sitting there alone.

"Kenji? What are you doing here?" I asked

"Have you ever wondered what people say about you?" he asked still looking at the sky.

That's what I hate about him; whenever he talks to someone he avoids eye contact. Especially with me. "Actually I could care less what people think." I answered sitting next to him.

"Exactly what I thought you would say. You're unique that way." Kenji said with a smirk, still avoiding eye contact.

I blushed, "Really? How?" I asked looking at the sky.

"You're strong and independent and you won't take anything from people, and let's face it, you're beautiful." Kenji explained

"Oh really?" I asked blushing. God, I never knew how Kenji had a way with words.

"Suzuki ever since I met you at the academy, I've been studying how you are." Kenji explained

"Oh great." I said

"Not to be a stalker or anything. It's just that I've never met anyone like you or Hiro." He said.

He still wouldn't look at me, I finally lost it. I grabbed his face and forced him to look at me. "Why won't you look at me anymore?" I asked

He closed his eyes. "Kenji open them!" I said, out of nowhere I activated my sharingan and he opened his eyes with the buyakugan. When we looked into each others eyes we saw quick flashbacks of each other.

I pulled away. "What was that?" I asked

"I was afraid of that." Kenji said

"Kenji why are you always avoiding my eyes?" I asked

"Because I'm afraid of hurting you with my buyakugan." He explained sadly.

"How will you hurt me?" I asked.

"Since I have great power with the buyakugan, sometimes….sometimes I can't control how it works. I avoid your eyes because I'm afraid that my buyakugan could hurt you in a way I don't want to." He explained.

All my life, ever since I met Kenji, I never knew that he was afraid of something. His personality tells me that he's not afraid of a lot of things. I smiled, "Don't worry about me Kenji. Just because you're afraid doesn't mean it will, just as long as you believe it won't happen. This is what you have friends for, to help you out." I said with my normal smile.

He looked at me, this time really looking at me, and smiled. His smiles were rare for even his parents to see. "You really want to help me?" he asked

"Sure, I mean you and Hiro are like my brothers, since I don't have any." I answered with a smile

"Thanks." He said

"No prob." I smiled and punched him in the arm.

"Ow. That hurt." Kenji complained

"I thought you never put your guard down Huyga-san." I laughed

"Whatever Uchiha-chan." Kenji smiled.

Kenji and I walked around the village talking and laughing. He really is a good friend. We walked to the Ichuraku ramen shop and found Hiro with his father, Naruto.

"Hey guys! Come join us!" Hiro called out to us.

We went over to sit down next to them and Naruto greeted us. "Hello Kenji and Suzuki. You both look more like your fathers everyday." Naruto said with a smile, much like Hiro's.

"You guys want some ramen? My treat!" Hiro offered

"Sure why not?" I answered and sat next to him.

"Sure." Kenji answered and sat next to me.

"So I see you guys are getting along well." Hiro said and nudged my shoulder.

"Shut up Hiro, I just found him under the cherry blossom tree." I said and punched his arm

"Ow! What was that for?!" Hiro complained.

"Seriously what is it with boys when I punch them?" I sighed.

After I finished my ramen I stood up from my chair. "Well I gotta get home now. See you guys at training tomorrow." I said and walked away.

On my ways I could hear villagers whispering about me.

"There she is. The Uchiha prodigy."

"She learned the Sharingan at only three."

"She definitely has inherited her mother's beauty and skills, and her father's intelligence and abilities."

"She is a true Uchiha prodigy. If the Uchiha clan were still alive she would be the pride of it."

"Regardless, she is the pride of the Uchiha clan."

Everyone in the village looks at me as the Uchiha prodigy, which sometimes gets me sad. I wish they would see me as more than a prodigy. But it doesn't always bother me; my dream is to be known as the best kunoichi in the Hidden Leaf Village. So far I'm good at all my jitsu's and I could become an ANBU soon.

I walked home and saw Oto-san and Oka-chan in the kitchen. "Welcome home Suzuki-chan." Oka-chan said with a smile.

"Where did you go?" Oto-san asked

"Nowhere, I just went for a walk, and I ran into Kenji and Hiro." I answered.

"Are you hungry Suzuki?" Oka-chan asked

"Yeah, a little." I said and sat next to Oto-san.

After I ate I went to my room and plopped on my bed. I looked up at the ceiling and over to my nightstand. I have a couple of photo frames on it. I have a picture of my father and mother together, and a picture of them when they were my age with Naruto and their sensei. I also have a picture of them when I was born, Oka-chan is holding me in her arms and Oto-san has one arm around her and he's looking at me as a new born. My favorite picture is the one of Oto-san and me, when I was younger and presently. There's also a picture of Hiro, Kenji, and I, and with us with my father. I love keeping photos; it reminds me of a lot of things. Just as the saying goes, a pictures worth a thousand words.

Oto-san came in my room and found me on the roof above my room. "Since when do you come up here?" he asked.

"Ever since I learned how to concentrate my chakra to my feet." I answered looking at the sun in front of me.

"You get a nice view of the sunset up here, don't you?" Oto-san asked

"Yup." I said with a smile

Oto-san put his hand on my head and I looked up at him. "I'm very proud of you Suzuki." Oto-san smiled.

"Why?" I asked

"It's hard to explain, there are so many reasons why I'm proud of you." He answered

I smiled and put my head on his shoulder. "I'm proud of you too Oto-san," I said with a smile. "And just like you I would protect you with my life."

Oto-san smiled and we watched the sunset.

...tbc….
