I'm still getting used to this website, so I hope everything is posting right… :) I finally finished the first chapter, but there's not much going on in it. The first few chapters are going to be used for showing you Natsumi's personality and the Naruto series. I want to move through it quickly so I can go ahead to shippuden, because that's where all of my ideas are!
If you guys have any questions or suggestions, hit the review button… I would love to hear from you. :D
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Naruto. I DO own Natsumi though.

Several years passed after that horrific night. Itachi Uchiha was branded an S-class criminal in all the nations as a traitor to Konoha and murderer of his entire clan. The last two recognized Uchiha survivors, however, were put through much worse. Subjected to intense therapy sessions, forced to allow a Yamanaka mindwalk their memories, and sent to an orphanage until they were old enough to care for one another, Sasuke and Natsumi became distant with everyone. To others they were viewed as cynical and stuck-up, but to Natsumi it was an entirely different matter altogether. How could she trust ANYONE after everything that had happened? It was a struggle just to turn her back to them, how could they expect her to do more?

Sasuke was much the same way, but something else had happened to him that night. Something he hasn't even confided to his own twin. There was a deeply rooted hatred growing in her brother and that scare her more than death itself. A year after the massacre she had caught him digging a knife into his hand, a picture of Kaa-san and Tou-san on the floor. No matter how loudly she screamed his name he wouldn't respond, lost in the memories of their elder brother. Pain was all they knew now. When returning to the academy the twins distanced themselves from all former friends or acquaintances, excelling in their studies even more than before; Natsumi rivalled the Nara boy when it came to the written grades, losing her frustration and pain in the books or scrolls she read. Sasuke chose the more physical path, excelling past everyone in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and especially genjutsu. Violence had two entirely different meanings to each twin. Natsumi despised it. So many people had already been lost, believing there was another method to this madness she continued her research. Medical ninjutsu fascinated the shining young girl, a way to stay on the 'battlefield' with her brother and help save lives. The next couple of years were spent studying the human body, memorizing every artery and nervous system until she could recite it on command. She would be forever grateful to Sasuke for quizzing her, even if she paid for it with physical training. The academy was no help in her training, either. Iruka-sensei not knowing much of the medical field or anyone who could time out of their schedule to advise the young Uchiha. So, as graduation grew closer Natsumi's skills were severely underdeveloped. Perhaps the jounin she gets assigned to will be able to help. Never the less, she planned on starting her actual training after graduation.

Half of the class had already taken their exams, now it was Naruto Uzumaki's turn. Natsumi watched closely with intrigue. This is the boy who has given everyone in the village trouble. Not that she could blame him, the looks the villagers sent his way were filled with hatred, just as they were filled with pity towards her. What the twelve year old boy could have done to receive such horrible treatment was beyond her. If the whispers were anything to go by he had to be a monster of some kind. Although watching as he attempts to create an acceptable clone the prospect of him being any sort of monster was completely up surd. The colorless clone drooling on the concrete floor was closer to a fiend than the obnoxious boy himself. Images of a blue eyed dragon tying erasers to the doorway was brought to her head and it released a rare giggle from the normally silent girl.

"What's so funny?"

Switching her gaze to the side her lips twitched into the infamous Uchiha smirk, "The ignorance of people."

Her brother simply nodded his head in agreement, glaring at the Uzumaki boy. Since they had returned to the academy, Naruto hasn't left Sasuke alone. Proclaiming him to be his rival and such. It amused Natsumi to no end as each time the blonde would attack her other half he would walk away bruised and beaten. Not once did he lose his eagerness though, and for that she respected him. Naruto's eyes were filled with heart-break as he realized his failure. It hurt to watch as his ultimate goal to become hokage was dashed for the time being, and seeing him so broken made her black eyes soften. Perhaps she should talk to him after her test.

"Natsumi Uchiha."

Speaking of which…

"Alright class! Be here bright and early tomorrow morning. That's when I'll separate you into teams and you'll finally meet your jounin. Congratulations! Class dimissed."

Making one clone was a simple task for her, and so she was now waiting for her brother outside of the academy. It wasn't like him to wander off at the end of the school day. They always left before his brainless fangirls could catch wind of his location and pounce. Although they tended to keep their distance when Natsumi was around. That could be due to the fact that Natsumi HATED his fangirls. First of all, why were ninety percent of the females in her class obsessed with her brother? Sure, she knew he was attractive for his age, but his entire aura screamed 'Stay away'. Another reason they stayed away could have something to do with the way she'd lost her temper about half a year ago. Being obsessed with Sasuke most of the girls hated her guts (the other half trying to befriend her for obvious reasons). It was only natural to receive her fair amount of sneers and taunts. Natsumi didn't see the point in fueling their fire with her reactions, so she ignored them in a way only Uchiha's could pull off. That is, until three particular girls decided to step up their game.

"Look who it is. The orphan. HEY!"

It was a few minutes before class would begin. Natsumi was rushing to get her usual seat next to her brother before those obnoxious girls stole it away, though he did try to save it for her. A pencil had slung through the air just then, stabbing her right in the cheek. It didn't draw blood, but the scratch stung enough to make her stop. That's when they swooped in.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

"Thinking you're so much better than us because your Sasuke-kun's brother. Ch," the girl in the front had mud brown hair and nasally green eyes. Obviously from a civilian family. The one who spoke earlier sported a light orange hair color, her brown eyes narrowing into the sneer spread across her ugly face. The third stayed out of the way, it seemed she didn't want to get in trouble if Natsumi were to rush and blabber to the teacher. Luckily that's not the type of person she is. Although this entire situation began to pull at her well concealed temper. Rubbing her reddening cheek, Natsumi gave the Uchiha glare and moved to go around these bakas. Until a hand wrapped around her arm a bit too tightly, "I didn't say you could leave yet, ugly. You haven't suffered enough for your indiscretions!"

Haven't suffered enough..? Natsumi's entire family was slaughtered in a single night by her beloved elder brother. She had to watch all these years as her twin became filled with more hate with each passing day… yet she hasn't suffered enough…?

A new kind of anger burst through the Uchiha, her eyes burning with a passion she never knew she had as she turned around to face her attackers.

"I'm sick of playing your silly game," fear struck all three as they stared into blood red eyes. A tomoi spun accordingly to the ravenette's fury and before the girl could pull her hand away, Natsumi grabbed ahold of her wrist, twisting until she heard the satisfying pop and scream that followed it, "Stay the fuck away from me and my brother."

That was the day Natsumi unleashed her sharingan. She didn't understand why it had happened when it did, nor what triggered the kekkei genkai, but it had. Her teacher had been so thrilled with the turn out that she didn't even get into trouble for breaking that girl's arm.

Sighing heavily she looked around once again for her brother. What was taking him so long?

"Did you hear? That Naruto failed again."

"Serves him right, damned monster."

"They never should have let him in to begin with."

Black eyes burning with a calm fury Natsumi whipped her body around to see some of her classmate's parents. They were huddled together glaring at the downcast boy, who currently had his head bowed sitting on the swing several feet away. What infuriated her the most was the fact that they weren't even trying to whisper. It was clear that the poor kid could hear every word they spit his way. Grinding her teeth together Natsumi stormed towards the group of so-called 'adults'.

"Excuse me, Suzuki-san." Recognition flickered across all of their faces, pity following not far behind. It seemed they all knew who she was. Good.

"What can I do for you, dear?" That sickly sweet tone the woman gave her made the girl want to carve into the woman's face.

"If I'm not mistaken, your son failed as well. Actually, if I'm not correct he couldn't even mold his chakra enough to create ANYTHING. Perhaps you should be more concerned with YOUR son's failure, instead of a boy who you don't even know."

Face twisted into a death-defying glare the Uchiha slammed through the three parents, who were now gaping at her nerve, making her way to the boy everyone seemed to hate. Apparently he had heard her outburst as well, because his cerulean blue eyes were wide and his mouth hung open with unvoiced questions. Stopping in front of him, she leaned down, still quivering with irritation, "Don't you dare give up, Naruto-san. Show all of these people how strong you really are!"

His posture stiffened at her encouraging words and confusion morphed into a steely determination, "Aa!"

Softening her features Natsumi let a smile spread across her face before a chakra signature caught her attention. It would seem her brother finally decided to show his face. It didn't look very happy with her, either.

"'Tsumi, what was that?" His mouth tilted down into a frown, eyebrows furrowed at his sister's foolish temper. She was going to get into a lot of trouble one day, if she didn't learn to control it. He always wondered where she got it from too, seeing as how stoic tou-san had been and how gentle kaa-san was.

"I simply put a few ignorant adults in their place, nii-san. I've grown very tired of their blatant disrespect toward ANYONE different from them."

Letting out a deep sigh her brother dropped his head, shaking it before grapping her hand, a smirk plastered onto his face. Having a sister with such careless actions would be the death of him one day, "Come on, it's your turn to cook dinner."
