I do not know how this chapter is in terms of quality because i really didn't have that much of an idea of where to go for this one. I didn't really set up a timeline last chapter so i'll just say instead of them being 12 in Cannon, they are 14 here so just add two years onto canon timeline and there you go.

Seihime

Chapter 2

Ten Years ago

"Jiji, what's in the box?" A small blonde haired girl wearing a white and red Kimono asked as she looked at the box that had been put in front of her. She was only four years old so she was staring at the box with her childlike innocents and her curious bright blue eyes.

The old Hokage sat in front of her to which he chuckled with amusement at this. He could only stare at her with a grandfatherly tone as he was happy that she was turning out to be relatively normal. She was a rather smart individual and insightful for her small age. He had agreed with his council to let the young girl in two years earlier into the academy than normal so when she would go there, she would be six.

Since Konoha was no longer in wartime, the age to enter the academy is eight. There are some people that get sponsored by people and is allowed special admissions to the academy though. The small girl in front of him is a special case so it was allowed. He could only hope that she would get a team that she could work with and that would work with her. She didn't have any friends to speak of so he could only hope her team would or she would make friends in the academy.

"Inside it is a very special item. Its rather rare nowadays and something that could help you in the future. The box belonged to your mother but she never opened it. All I know is what is inside is special." The old man said to the girl who looked up with wide eyes.

"This belonged to Kaa-san?" The blonde haired girl asked with a shocked look on her face as she picked the box up. It was slightly heavy for her but she took in everything she could about the box. She had been told about her parents and everything.

The only reason the old man told her however was because she was smart enough to know why she should keep who her parents were a secret. She didn't care enough to go blabbing out who they were, she just cared about who they were and that they loved her.

"Yes, it was very special to her and she kept it really safe. She told me that while she never knew what was inside, it had been passed down to her from her mother. Its only right that I give it to you, Naru." The Sandaime stated with a smile on his face. Naru looked at him before going back to the box.

She shook it but it didn't make a sound. Nothing seemed to move so that meant it was padded or what was inside took up the whole box. She was extremely curious what was inside as something like that had to be extremely valuable. That or it was some piece of junk her family felt was valuable to them. Either way, she was going to look inside and keep really safe.

She put the box back down and stared at it for a couple of seconds. She bent down so her face was near the lid and slowly moved it open just incase it was booby trapped. She didn't know if her parents were paranoid or not. A bright light came out, not blinding but still bright. She stared at the thing in the box and could only wonder how much the thing would cost.

Present time

"Well that took me back." Naru said, leaning on a tree as she looked up into the sky. She wondered why she was daydreaming all of a sudden. She sighed as that was really strange to have been thinking about. That happened so long ago that she had almost forgotten about it.

In truth, that was probably the day everything started to crumble beneath her. She couldn't really do anything about it though as it was so far in the past that she couldn't really fix it. She had long since forgotten about anything that had to do with Ninja. She truly enjoyed the life she had now more than anything she did trying to become a ninja.

She had opened that box which was her Pandora's box. She gained something but also lost everything else. She had gotten to the point in her life afterwards where she had figured that out and quit trying to be a ninja. Sadly, quitting was something the village didn't like.

"Alright, away from the dark thoughts." Naru said slapping herself on the cheeks. She pulled a pair of glasses out of her bag and put them on. She didn't need glasses really but she had strong eyesight that was better than what is considered perfect vision by normal standards. If she remembers right, she has like 20/6 or something around there.

Her eye sight when reading or concentrating on something close up gives her a headache unless she is wearing glasses that reduce her eyesight to 20/20. Its why she didn't like books when she was younger till she actually figured it out. Now she doesn't mind them because she doesn't get a headache unless she reads to much.

She bent down and opened up the two strap side bag that she had. She pulled out a book of some kind and started to flip through the pages while tapping her chin with a pen she had on the spine of it. It was a normal note book so there was really nothing special about it.

"Alright, my festival check list. I have the VP on the duty of collecting the booth information as well as what clubs and classrooms are doing. He is also working with the teachers to figure out club activities that might be going on during the festival. The Treasurer is out collecting donations for the budget. The others are doing the small things like flyers and ticketing." Naru said to which she checked off the small things. Granted all of them were doing other things while doing these things but this was the specific things for the Festival.

She had a really bad habit of doing everything herself and she wondered why the other members of the student council didn't seem to care. Granted they all wanted something to do and she would give away the small things but she still liked to do the more important things.

She was actually giving them a decent work load for the first time in forever. She looked at what she needed to do and worked on what needed to be done on another sheet. She had to figure out the specifics as well as how much room she needed to give to each class should they have stands outside. Clubs were different because they had whole rooms to work with on whatever they were doing.

She stood there writing out the things for each part of her list on what she needed to have finished before returning back to Konoha. She stopped when she noticed something. Naru felt something familiar and turned to look. Maybe it was the ninja team that was suppose to come with her to wave on their mission.

"Well, well, if it isn't little Naru-chan. Its been a while." A silver haired man with most of his face covered by either his mask or his head band said. His visible eye seemed to be in a U shape showing that he was indeed smiling. Naru snapped her book shut and turned to him.

"Hatake-sama." Naru said with a bow making the man seem to be depressed by what she just said. Naru just smirked at him though as she seemed to find it rather funny if she said anything about it.

"You don't have to be so formal. I remember when you were so much younger and calling me Senpai." Kakashi said with a depressed tone to which she just rolled her eyes at this. She put her book back into her bag and picked it up. She noticed the kids her age behind him with an old fart that was probably their mission.

"Since when did you get a group of kids? Actually, better question, since when did people trust you with there children." Naru said with a smirk and Kakashi just looked like he was going to cry. It also didn't help that the Genin with him were glaring at her. Well two of them were.

"Your so mean Naru. You were definitely much cuter when you were a kid." Kakashi stated with an eye smile and rubbed her head before blinking when he noticed the glasses. "Since when do you were glasses? You have better than perfect eye sight."

"Its because of that. I get headaches from reading things close up as well as concentrating on certain things. Either way, don't change the subject. Who in there bright mind would leave you with kids?" Naru said with a skeptical tone before looking to the kids with a look of pity. "I feel sorry for all three of you."

"Thank you." The pink haired girl said with a tone of understanding while Kakashi looked like someone just kicked his puppy.

"Hare hare. Just to let you know, Hokage-sama gave me them." Kakashi stated like that was suppose to be the end of the conversation or that it was suppose to mean anything to her. "How have you been kid? You haven't come by in a while, Naru."

"Who's this Kakashi?" A black haired teen stated with a cold tone which caused Naru to look at him. He reminded her of someone.

"This is Uzumaki Naru. She's a student at the Kanki Gakuen and the Student Council President. She's my cute little Kouhai." Kakashi stated while rubbing her head again to which she scowled at this.

"Former Kouhai. I dropped out of the Ninja Academy remember." Naru stated with a slight scowl and without that much care about the subject to begin with. The others just blinked at this though making the Genin wonder. Well, she could tell on two of them but the emotionless one was kind of hard to read.

"You dropped out of the Ninja program? I thought being a Ninja was considered an honor and a privilege. Its been cool so far even with all the D-Rank missions." The pink haired girl stated and Naru just looked at her with a sad face at this one.

"It might be considered an honor but a privilege isn't what I would call getting a job that kills people. I just realized early on that I don't have it in my heart to do what needs to be done." Naru said with a sad smile and the pink haired girl flinched at that.

"We don't have to kill do we?" The pink haired girl questioned her sensei but he didn't answer first.

"Konoha has always been one of the nicer ones in regards to how we handle fighting and combat. Still, if the Hokage orders you to kill, your expected to bury your emotions and do it. People that don't have the heart should find something else in life than fighting." Naru stated to her to which the Pink haired one just opened her mouth before closing it again.

"While what Naru says is true, how you fight is up to you. We just expect you to protect your comrades but you must shoulder the burden of what might happen if you let someone live." Kakashi stated with a neutral tone before smiling. "I believe it takes a bigger heart to let people live then to kill them even with what could happen."

"You would let someone hurt the people you care about?" The black haired one stated with a slight glare. It seemed that he hadn't had the best life if the glare and hatred at the thought of being inactive in terms of the people close to him being hurt.

"Sasuke…." Kakashi started with a reprimanding tone but Naru just smiled at this and interrupted him. She finally realized why he looked familiar.

"I will fight for the people I care about but protecting isn't the same thing as killing. Even if I don't want to, I see the good in people. Can't really be a ninja with that mindset now could I?" Naru said with a chuckle at this before looking at Kakashi. "So we heading out? I'm guessing you're the Ninja heading to wave."

"Yes. Are you all set to go?" Kakashi asked and she raised the bag and shouldered a thin long bag over her right shoulder.

"Hai, I have changes of clothes as well as what I need should anyone appear." Naru said with a smile on her face and Kakashi nodded as he noticed the bag on her shoulder.

"Hm… is that a sword bag? You practice Kenjutsu." The pink haired one questioned with a curious tone finally getting off the heavy stuff.

"Nevermind that. We have to baby sit a dropout?" Sasuke asked with a sneer at the thought of having to protect another person but the emotionless one trying to mimic emotion just chuckled at this.

"Even if she was a dropout Sasuke-san, Uzumaki Naru was the Rookie of the Year two times running and most promising Ninja during her years in the academy. She had graduated twice at the age of Six and Seven. I do not think we are baby sitting but more like Escorts, as in the civilians eyes, she is called Seihime. She's pretty much considered the villages Princess." The pale black haired teen with the short black shirt and fake smile said.

Oh right, she forgot about that. Due to her going to a civilian school as the village called it and changing the minds of all the villagers. Everyone considered her the princess of the village due to all the work she does and how the higher ups consider her, even if they don't know the actual reasons behind the attention like who her parents were and what she is considered.

It also seemed to carry weight outside the village but that was because the Daimyo actually knew who her parents were. Being the daughter of the villages hero was nice and all but she didn't like the attention. It also didn't help with the unwanted suitors that came knocking on her doorstep. Not like they actually mattered considering certain things.

"Someone does there research." Naru said with an amused tone to her voice.

"Alright, that's enough chatter. Were losing daylight." Kakashi stated to which they all headed out the Gate. Granted Naru had to actually check out as she didn't have the looser travel restrictions that Shinobi had. Everyone seemed to be talking amongst each other as they walked and Naru just seemed to be reading and working in the notebook she had open before.

"Ah, Naru-san, what are you doing?" The Pink haired girl asked with a curious tone and Naru had found out her name was Haruno Sakura. The pale one with the fake emotions was named Sai.

"Ah, sorry Haruno-san. I'm kind of busy figuring out things for the Spring Festival my school hosts. Not to be mean or anything but can I be left alone for right now?" Naru asked to which Sakura blinked and tilted her head in confusion at this.

"Spring Festival?" Sakura asked as if she never realized that there was one.

"Yes, every year my school holds a festival that all of the village can come to, though you have to purchase a ticket. There not expensive or anything. Its 490 Ryo (Around five bucks) We hold activities, sell stuff, have specialized shops that each class makes up and as well as anything a normal festival has. I think last year we had a maid Café and the most outrageous thing we had was the fashion show. Took up the whole gym and half our budget." Naru said though the last part had annoyance in her voice as well as really soft that they could barely hear it.

"So, are there any Ninja in wave?" Sakura decided to move the conversation away so Naru could work and Naru was glad. She had a lot of work to do and needed to get all this done before she did the large amount of homework she had on top of figuring out the budget.

She hummed to herself as they continued on while Kakashi explained how the Country was set up and where every village was. She already knew all this so she droned it all out. It didn't take long before a scream from Sakura brought her out of everything.

"Naru-san." Sakura said getting behind her with her back towards her with a Kunai out at the ready. Naru was towards the back of the group and was probably the closest to Kakashi. Naru just looked over her should and saw who was apparently there attacker.

'I can tell by her muscle mass that she isn't below average in strength which means she is not good with Taijutsu. Her Chakra levels are poor so she is obviously a Genjutsu type. Granted with the Kunai out, she most likely has no Genjutsu. She is no match for them.' Naru thought to herself instantly on sight of the attackers.

She had took everything in on all three Genin's when she first met them and could guess what there specialties were. Sakura was no match for Taijutsu users such as the Demon brothers. So, she knocked Sakura off balance causing her to fall to the ground. Speaking of the Demon brothers, they were currently trying to tie her up in a metal spike chain.

As they went to tighten the chain which would slam down onto her and rip her to shreds, she disappeared. "What?" They both said in shock out loud and then noticed a piece of blue cloth near them. They looked and saw Naru in the air before she spun and split kicked them in the face.

This caused the chain to stretch out. They were about to charge her again when a Shuriken slammed into the chain and pulled it into the tree. A Kunai then lodged itself into the circle of the Shuriken. Naru blinked as she landed as the two Ninja were pounced on by two black white tigers.

'They…. Kept up?' Naru thought with slight shock at what just happened. Granted she wasn't doing anything outside of kicking them. They still acted on what she did like they knew she would do that which was beyond her expectations having an idea of there mentality and base abilities due to their physical and chakra abilities. It was interesting because no one had done that before outside of one person. 'Well these Genin are interesting.'
