I hope you don't think that my OC is Mary-Sue because I'm trying not to put her on that level. Anyway, I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 1 – The girl who knew too much
Walking, walking and walking. I had my little agenda in one hand were I had an infinitive number of peoples files, stories, observations and a map. But God this map was horrible to follow. I didn't even remember how I get to Hemiru in the first place. And now getting back to Konoha, was just a great pain in the ass. 'Besides this freaking bag that I carry is so heavy, and the god dammed sword!' I sighed. I didn't want to use my charka because that would warn people of my presence but still I was really tempted to use my kenkai genkai. Yes, I can control steal. It's not a big deal isn't it? I mean I know that Yamato Captain can control wood, and he didn't need to have special training. Well, I think it was kind of cool to have a teacher only for you but, I didn't really have social life so, socialize wasn't my fort. I mean, most of the time I just stood quiet observing my surroundings.
So I was really nervous. How am I supposed to talk to people like this? Well, I wasn't prepared but the gates of Konoha appeared right in front of me. Then, suddenly, memories of my childhood invaded my mind.
Flashback
"Mommy! Look it's a bee!" A little me said hiding behind my mother.
"Don't be afraid, animals, unlike humans just attack when it's strictly needed. Us on the other hand mostly attack for pure pleasure and pride." My grandfather explained me while observing the little bee.
End of Flashback
Good times. Grandpa always had something mysterious and wise to say. He really was a great man.
Sighing I made my way to the gate where I find two ninja.
"Hello. I'm visiting Konoha, may I go in?" I said smiling a little hesitantly.
"Is that a Konoha forehead protector in your head?" They both exclaimed at the same time.
"Uh…Uh, yes, I left the town when I was little, but I was trained buy a Konoha kunoishi." I explained quickly.
"Well, sorry but I'll have to escort you to the hokage, besides I don't like the size of your sword." One of them said getting up while glaring at my sword.
Yes I had a really big sword. (Like Clouds sword from Final Fantasy).
"Hn." I simply stated. The fact that I had a big sword didn't mean anything. But, on the other hand, the village must be still in reconstruction so I guess they have to be extra careful.
I and the ninja start walking through the streets of Konoha, everyone was so busy, but the damages of the fight were still fresh. Everything seemed just too familiar and, at the same time, too strange. In no time I saw the Hokage building. The red and the busts on the rocks were forever engraved in my mind. Unfortunately I wasn't looking for my surroundings because I knew too well who I was going to see. Danzou. My master said he was a very dangerous man, and, in my agenda it said that he had a sharingan and could manipulate people's minds. Luckily my master is an Uchiha too, that fortunately nobody knew of her existence, and taught me to resist Gentotsu and all kind of ocular attacks.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!" I heard someone yell energically. I sensed is chackra and it was REALLY big. So it could only be… I turned around only to be faced with a grinning blonde boy, with bright blue eyes and grin plastered in his face. Soon is expression become one of embarrassment.
"Sorry, I thought that you were other person… She has pink hair too." Oh yeah, Sakura has pink hair too, but our colours are slightly different. Her hair was pink bubble gum while mine was a softer pink, a cream colored pink.
"No problem. You must be Naruto Uzumaki. I'm honoured to meet you." I said bowing my head. Just like his file said, loud mouth, happy, hyperactive, just like Naruto.
His hand moved so he was scratching the back of his head. "Oh, there's no need to such formalities. Ohhh what a huge sword!!" He said looking at my sword.
"Like it? I made it myself." I stated proudly.
"Cool! I don't really know how you can hold it. It seems quite heavy." He said still in amazement.
"Tskk. It's not that heavy. Well I have to meet the Hokage, so see you soon." I said waving at him while getting back to my path.
"Hey, I don't know your name!" He yelled. I turned back.
"Kasumi Mishimoto!" I yelled back.
(Sakura's POV)
Since Danzou is on command I haven't rested a single bit. Always stuffing papers and organizing stuff. I'm a medic nin dammit, not a secretary! It was already a busy day but it become busier because one of the gate guards entered with a strange girl who had this huge sword on her back.
"Something happened?" I asked worried.
"Nothing really, this girl is here to see the Hokage." He explained briefly. "I think I'll be heading back." He said and than disappeared in a puff of smoke. The next thing I saw was a Konoha front protector on her forehead. And it was white. Strange. I never saw her before and she seems to have my age. Putting these thoughts on the back of my head I went to Danzou's office to tell him that this strange girl wanted to talk to him.
(Kasumi's POV)
This must be Sakura, she didn't seem happy. Well I guess it's bad to have your master in coma and some idiot in her place.
I waited a little, but I was getting tired. I travelled the freaking all day, with a huge bag and carrying my huge sword! I need break! Finally Sakura came out with a frown. I sighed.
"Danzou is going to meet you. But please you'll need to leave your things here." She informed me. I hesitated. My precious sword, alone in here?
"Okay, but if someone touches my sword… They're doomed." I threatened. I told you socialize wasn't really my thing. Sakura's frown just turned bigger but she nodded. I handed her my stuff and my sword which she took with ease. Well she had super straight after all…
Finally I was able to go to Danzou's office. I knocked a door and a deep voice responded. "Come in."
I entered only to meet three old people. The first one was sitting in a chair with other woman by his side. The last one had an eye covered in bandages and was sitting behind his desk in a thinking pose, that one I recognized as Danzou.
"Hello. I heard that you were interested in stay in the village. And the way it looks you are a Konoha ninja, so tell me, why haven't I heard about you?" He asked me in a demanding tone. Quite creepy.
I needed to focus. Master always told me to remain focus so the sharingan couldn't invade my mind. With this thoughts in my mind I approached and give him a letter from my master. He read it quickly.
"I see, only the Hokage's could know about her existence? Okay, then. So you were her apprentice? Your parents are alive?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama. They're Yumi and Rai Mishimoto." I said in a monotone voice.
"I see. Do you have a mission?" He asked me.
"Yes I do." I stated simply.
"And what is it?"
"I can't tell you Hokage-sama. It's confidential." I said. I could feel the sharingan in me. Trying to invade my mind but I stood strong. He sighed in irritation.
"Unfortunately your master as great influence so, just do what you have to do." I nodded once again. "Just tell me, we are kind of short in shinobis so, would you be interested in being sensei for the academy teams?" He asked me. Well he seemed truly interested and I was wiling to help.
"Sure, but I might need to go away for some times in order to fulfil my mission's goals." I explain. He nodded again. Then one of the conseiliers hand me a paper. Uh, more files. In there was my students' profiles.
"Thank you." I said, and with a bow I left the creepy office and the creepy old people.
(Normal POV)
The tension in the room was almost palpable when the girl left.
"I don't like this. She has whiskers, and really, I know someone with whiskers and he only means trouble." Danzou said with venom.
One of the conseileurs, the woman, glued her eyes on the table. Not wanting to face Danzou.
(Sakura's POV)
I saw the girl leave Danzou's office with some files in her hands.
"So, are you going to stay?" I asked her, curiosity wining over politeness.
She turned to look at me. And then I saw. Her eyes were silver and didn't have pupils. "Are you a Hyuuga?"
"Yes, I'm going to stay. No I'm not a Hyuuga my eyes are just a genetic anomaly." She smiled. "My name is Kasumi Mishimoto." She extended her hand and I shook it.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you." She smiled, just like she already knew my name. Then I noticed her whiskers. They were not like Naruto's, these ones barely would be noticed.
"Well I got to go. I'm making a big surprise to my parents." She grinned, took her stuff and left.
'Strange girl…' I thought. She had pink creamy hair, that was somewhat tied with her headband with big bags, she had silver eyes with no pupils and was wearing what looked like a scarf in her neck. She was wearing a simple white tank top, black shorts, grey ninja sandals and grey gloves that only tied to her middle finder and reached her elbow. Such a weird character.
(Kasumi's POV)
Okay. Worse part is done. Now I only have to face my parents, which I haven't seen in 10 years. Oh god. I think the tears of my mom are going to submerse the village.
The path to my house was nice. The sun was high in the sky and a soft breeze was playing with my hair. The only thing that disturbed me was Sakura's question. 'Your eyes… Are you a Hyuuga?' I really didn't understand why I didn't have pupils. My mom has pupils and bright blue eyes, and my father has pupils and brown eyes. So why do I have this eyes? The only person I knew with the same eyes as mine was only my grandfather.
Flashback
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Once again a little me was sitting in my Grandfathers lap, jumping excitedly. "Why only you and I have these silver eyes?" I asked almost sticking my finger on my eye.
"It's because we can see things that no one else can see!" He said laughing.
"What?" I asked him.
"Well you and I are the only ones that can see Mishi." He said laughing again. Mishi was my imaginary friend and he pretended that he could see him too.
"Yes! But today he isn't here." I frowned a little.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be back." He reassured me.
"But he might be lost!" I said unhappy.
"Well, everything that it's lost can be found my little Kasumi. Every single thing…" He said laughing again.
End Flashback
I just can't stop thinking that he was trying to tell me something. But I don't understand what. I sighed grumpy. Stupid old man… He read too many books, I'm sure that was the problem.
After walking for a little while longer finally I found my house: a white house with blue windows, in the middle of nowhere, my house, my home. That was one of the reasons why didn't really played with the other children, I was too isolated. Slowly I approached while reviving some memories. Finally I knocked the door.
Seconds passed, but it seemed like hours and finally, a middle-aged man with brown hair and big brown eyes opened it.
"Hello, may I help y-" My father stopped middle sentence and looked at me in amazement. "Kasumi?" I only nodded, tears were already forming in my eyes.
"Hi dad." I managed to say in a weak voice. Then all of sudden my dad hugged me in a tight embrace.
"Oh my dear daughter you're back! I missed you so much!" He mumbled against my neck. The hug was so tight that I think I could sense some bones cracking.
My mom soon came to the door, and it looked like she was having a hearth attack. "Kasumi!" Once again a big hug received me. Finally I felt like in home. The feeling was overwhelming, almost too good to be true.
Finally, after some cheat chat, many tears and hugs. I finally was able to put my things down and install myself in by bedroom.
"Thank good I wasn't a girly girl." I said out loud while observing my room. It was painted in a green aqua colour; my bed was on the corner, with silver and white sheets, my secretary, and wardrobe. Nobody would say it was a child's room. I didn't play with toys. Instead I used to run around the house, faking conversations with imaginary friends and read books with my grandfather. Soon I felt more tears run through my face when I saw a picture of me and my grandpa. We were both on the field surrounded by beautiful flowers. I was using his glasses what made my eyes look twice bigger and he was just smiling. Soon I knew what to do next.
In a rush, I put my sword on the ground along with my bag and leave my house. My parents didn't say anything they knew where I was going.
I passed the busy Konoha streets without taking great notice of the people that were around me. Finally I found my goal. I entered Yamahaka Flowers.
On the counter a girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes was writing something in a paper sighing softly. Then she saw me.
"Hey forehe-" She stopped middle sentence. "Oh I'm so sorry I thought you were someone else!!" She said really embarrassed.
Well that sure is happening a lot. "It's okay." I smiled.
She nodded. "So what I can I do to help you?" She smiled warmly.
"Uh… Well, I need to buy flowers for a person's grave, and I really don't know what to buy." I said embarrassed.
She smiled serene. "Well, daisies are quite good, or maybe some yellow or white roses…" She suggested.
"Umm… Those ones seem quite sad. I wanted something happier." I said. My grandfather liked colour.
"I see…" She raised her finger to her chin in a thinking position. "What about a pink gerberas?" With that she picked some flowers. I really liked them.
"Okay. You can put 5 or 6 in a bucket please. And I would like to buy a single blue lilith." She raised her brow suggestively but did what I told her.
Soon she finished it and I paid leaving the store.
The sun was setting when I arrived the graveyard. I walked a little and found my grandpa's grave.
"Uhh… I don't really know what people are supposed to do here. I think they talk… Well, I just wanted to say that I'm back. And that I still miss you Grandpa." My voice was starting to crack. "And I… I don't really know if my hope will hang on much more. Without you here, and without master, I don't really know if I'm capable of do what I need to do. I mean were in war. You've been there and you know what it's like. But you survived it. I just don't know if I'm going to make it. My role is just too complex." I sighed and put the flowers in his grave reading the phrase that was written in there.
"The world is full of emptiness and fury, but my love, with you by my side, we can do anything. Finally I found out what live is, live is a dream and dead is just the continuation of it."
Flashback
"Grandpa, I can't write the A!" A little me was almost crying while sitting outside trying hard to learn how to write properly.
My Grandpa took my hand and after some time I did the A perfectly.
"We can do anything if we try hard and have faith."
End of Flashback
"Grandpa." I mumbled with a smile in my face and a single tear run loose.
I distanced myself from my Grandpa's grave and approached the Third's grave. He and my Grandfather were great friends. I put the blue lilith in it.
"You were right. Konoha is still hanging, just like you said. Hope you and Granpa are up there playing chess and laughing. Hope some day I can join you." With that I turned around and walked away.
A little sad maybe? Nahhh ...
