Chap 1: A new start

It is a usual day in the Hidden Leaf Village, peaceful as always. It has been more than a decade since the Fourth Shinobi War ended. The village has some new changes that have a great impact on the life of the villagers. They are happier and feel safer than before because everyone trusts and loves their current Hokage, the sixth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. The additional carving of a whiskered face on the Hokage face mountain makes many shinobi proud for the achievements of a certain blond, especially a white eyed lady with her long raven hair, Hinata Uzumaki. Today is going to be a very special day of her life because her twin children, a dark haired girl with her mother's eyes and a blond boy with his father's looks are graduating the academy.

All the members of the once Rookie nine are now parents and getting extremely excited for their children's graduation ceremony. It made them remind them of the time when they graduated together and now their children will be the ones becoming a genin together.

Everyone seemed excited, except a certain Uchiha. The Uchiha compound, now shifted inside the premises of the village under the current Hokage's orders, has a few new members now as Sasuke is a father of three children. Naoha Uchiha,the eldest son is already a chunin, 16 years old and just the same as his father in looks and attitude. The youngest, Emi Uchiha has her mother's pink hair and a charming and loving 7 years old girl. The black haired girl graduating from the Ninja Academy today is 13 years old is Rika Uchiha. Rika doesn't care if anyone in her house is excited about her graduation or not, because she extremely excited to meet her team today.


"Rika! We are getting late for the Academy. What are you doing, it's already 5:45. We will never make it in time." Emi was calling her elder sister from the main door of the house, while wearing her shoes. A pink haired woman came towards the door holding a lunch box for the little girl. "Here, you forgot you lunch on the table" said the women giving her the lunch box.

"Thanks mom" Emi hugged her mother tightly and turned to open the door when she heard her father's voice "Sakura. I can't find my shirt." Emi giggled pointing her mother to go before her father explodes. Sakura turned towards the main hall of the house and got bumped into a black haired girl.

"Watch where you going, Rika" Sakura said in an irritating voice and turned to walk towards her room.

"I'm sorry mom I…" Rika trailed off as she saw her mother disappear behind the door of her bedroom. She sighed and looked at her sister who was looking at her with a frown.

"What? There is still a lot of time until your first class starts" , but this was enough to please this little devil so Sarah said out loud their favorite part, "lets race to the Academy."

"The loser gets to buy the winner a big box of candies" Emi finished the sentence with excitement and ran into the streets, not giving her sister a chance to put on her shoes.

"Great" Rika thought and hurried after her sister, climbing the roof tops and leaping past Emi.

"That is cheating you cheater!"

"I am going to get that candy box today, no matter what" Rika said thinking about the pretty purple candy box with different types of mouthwatering chocolates, jellies and candy bars. She spotted the building of the academy and jumped from a tree in front of the main door. Before she could cross the entrance she heard two familiar voices.

"Rika… Wait for us." The two girls running in her direction, one with dark blue hair just above her waist, with white pearl eyes and a lavender jacket with black bottoms. The other girl had black spiky hair having golden streaks, tied into a pony tail reaching her shoulders and a short black shirt and skirt. They ran in the direction of the young Uchiha who was smiling at her two best friends. She suddenly felt a breeze past behind her and turned to found Emi inside the grounds of academy sticking out her tongue as sign of victory, running towards her class.

Rika turned to her friends and greeted them with a "Hi, girls" and a group hug.

"Rika . You should look around when you are running that fast, you were about to hit that tree branch" the blue haired girl pointed to the tree from where Rika jumped earlier.

"Hanna. Stop being such a baby. Rika knows where she is going. And if she doesn't then, she'll find out" the black haired girl said and the group laughed in unison.

"By the way, I am not a baby Itari" Hanna exclaimed, sounding being a bit serious, "But never mind check these out!" Hanna took out three headbands inscribed with the Leaf Village symbol on it with a dark purple cloth.

"These… don't exactly look the way we wanted them to look" Itari tried not to hurt her friend's feeling by her words when Rika said "These are awesome girl! I know it's not the color that we wanted but isn't it cool? I mean purple does show unity doesn't it?" she hit Itari with her elbow, "isn't it?"

"Yeah… Yeah it is definitely a cool color"

"Really! You guys like it? And I was being so rude to my mother that she ruined our perfect group color selection" Hanna's eyes shined with happiness.

"Hey, don't forget the lucky bracelets my mom brought for us from the Hidden Sand village" Itari handed each of the girls with a simple two colored ribbon bracelet in white and black with a small silver fan embellishment. "This represents ying and yang. That's what I heard while eating my breakfast the other day. I seriously have no idea how this thing can really prove lucky for us" she said with a frown.

"These are so lovely… pretty" the other two excitedly shouted and picked one of the bracelets.

The trio put their headbands and lucky bracelets and stepped inside the academy together, "The best Leaf Village shinobi are here".


Later that day, all the graduating genins were made a part of a different team under the supervision of highly classified and able jonins. Rika Uchiha had Kiri Inuzuka and Menma Uzumaki, Hanna's twin brother, as her team mates and Konahamaru Sarutobi as the jonin squad leader of Team 5. There was nothing more annoying than having a dog lover and a pervert as the team members.

"Greetings my fellows team mates" the sensei announced greetings to the team 5 members, "We will be meeting at the Hokage tower tomorrow for your very first mission. Don't be late; it's your time to shine!"


The words of her sensei kept echoing in Rika's mind that evening when she was eating her favorite caramel filled chocolate that she bought for Emi on her way back home. Emi shared all her things with her sister as she was the only one person in that house who loved her. She knew that she was not a genius like her other two siblings and because of this reason may be she thought she was not a star kid and a favorite child. But she wanted to show her father that she can be as good as her brother Naoha.

"He will be proud of me and I'm sure of it" she smiled and went to bed. Tomorrow really is a big day after all.
