AN: Hey guys! This isn't a chapter, I just decided to update with a couple important points. PLEASE READ THE QUESTIONS BELOW. They may answer some of your questions. You can skip the summary, I wrote it for those who might have missed some stuff while reading the story. Just the main points you would need.
Chapter 1-5: A girl wakes up in the Narutoverse in Sunagakure with a new name, Kaida Kuroba. Since she's in a family whose close to the Kazekage, she gets invited to a dinner party, where she meets Gaara. She befriends Gaara and Kankuro. Unfortunately, due to her bloodline, she gets kidnapped and forced into bonding with four dragon spirits. Slowly, she begins to realize she might have a purpose for being in the Narutoverse and decides to run away from home in order to stop the Uchiha massacre. She says goodbye to Gaara and begins her journey. But she bumps into Orochimaru and Sasori along the way. She manages to escape and makes it to Konoha.
Chapter 6-7: Kaida makes it to Konoha! She meets the Hokage and explains her situation and reveals what the Uchiha massacre would do. The Hokage agrees to help her in her quest of removing the suffering from Konoha. He also agrees to train her to become a great kunoichi. After meeting the Hokage, she meets Naruto while he was being kicked by other ninja. Kaida stands up for him and escapes with Naruto. She befriends him and decides to live with him and take care of him. Itachi meets with the Hokage, who tells him that the Uchiha massacre has been canceled. Even though he's confused, Itachi is relieved he doesn't have to kill his clan. Unfortunately, Danzo is not happy about the recent news and decides to attack the clan directly. Kaida rushes to the scene and protects Itachi from death. She fights Danzo and almost loses. But Naruto comes into the picture and causes Danzo to attempt to kill him. Although, before he could, Kaida connects with one of the four dragon spirits she has inside of her. The dragon of fire, Kasai, defeats Danzo. When Kaida regains control, she faints and is put in the hospital. Itachi saw everything and realized she had something to do with his clan.
Chapter 8: Kaida gets released from the hospital and finally meets Itachi face-to-face. They talk and Kaida accidently tells Itachi that she knew about him needing to kill the Uchiha clan. He figures out that it was her who stopped the massacre and saved him. Kaida has her first day of school with Naruto and breaks someone's foot for trying to trip her. After school, she meets Sasuke who is truly grateful for her help in saving the clan from Danzo. Itachi appears and invites her over for dinner. Kaida accepts and meets Itachi and Sasuke's parents. Fugaku is grateful to her. Kaida explains her situation to Fugaku in order to keep the peace in Konoha. She explains that the Uchiha need to come to some acceptance with Konoha, so Fugaku agrees to try.
Chapter 9-10: Kaida meets up with Izumi, but Itachi interrupts them. Izumi realizes that Itachi and Kaida have some sort of connection and begins to dislike her out of jealousy. Kaida meets Neji, who was training with his strict father. She attempts to befriend him, but was soon interrupted by Danzo and Orochimaru. Kasai takes control of her body, but he is extremely weak from defeating Danzo. Orochimaru uses poison to knock Kaida out. He takes her to one of his hideouts and tortures her. He attempts to figure out how the dragon-bond works and dissects her for answers. She refuses to answer any of his questions and shuts her mind down in order to survive and keep her sanity. She meets Tora, a sixteen year -old ANBU member from Konoha, who got taken and was schedualed for execution. She sang to the other prisoners, trying to keep them sane. After a week in hell, Itachi, Kakashi, and Nakumaru barge into the prison. Itachi defeats Kabuto and finds Kaida in the electricity room. He saves her, kills Kabuto and goes home. Nakumaru rescues Tora, who is his comrade.
Chapter 11-13: Kaida is in the hospital and gets visited by everyone she has met thus far. Itachi stays with her the longest. After rejecting Izumi, he meets Kasai, who took control of Kaida's body to talk with him. In order to save Kaida from suffering, Itachi agrees to help Kasai by keeping Kaida's time in the dungeon a secret. Kasai erases Kaida's memory of her time in the dungeon. When Kaida woke up, she has no recollection of what happened. Itachi tells her it was a training accident, but Kaida knows there is more to it. After three weeks in the hospital, Kaida leaves and meets Tora again. Itachi had warned Tora that she wouldn't remember him and he can't tell her anything about Orochimaru's dungeon. So Tora declares his love for Kaida and refuses to give up on her. He invites Kaida to tea and she accepts. During this time, Itachi has decided to attempt to stay away from Kaida in order to sort his emotions out. He feels a strong connection to her at this point and doesn't know how to handle it. So he begins to avoid her. Kaida meets Sakura after her time with Tora. She tries to console Sakura when the pink haired girl told her tale of being bullied and having no friends in school. Kaida tells her a bit of her own backstory, but Sakura tells Kaida that she has no right to say how she feels. Kaida, who was annoyed by that statement, leaves Sakura alone only to be greeted by Sasuke. He invites her to dinner, but Sakura rushes over and begins to fangirl over him. Kaida just takes Sasuke away and goes back to get Naruto from their apartment. They all go to the Uchiha estate where Mikoto begins to freak out over Kaida. She decides to give Kaida a make over. While brushing her hair, Mikoto thanks Kaida for saving her family and hanging out with her boys. She explains that Itachi has changed since meeting her. Kaida has recollections of her own mother and begins to cry. When Kaida gets home, she puts Naruto to bed and begins talking to Kasai, the fire dragon. Kasai explains the arrangements of their bond.
Okay! That's it! Now some questions you may have.
What's up with the title?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. I was drinking a strawberry banana smoothie. That's it.
What's the ship going to be?!
I'm not sure yet. I'm basically winging it so far. I'm dabbling a bit with (ItachixKaida), but I'm also looking into (ToraxKaida) , (GaaraxKaida) , (SasukexKaida) , and (SasorixKaida) for later. I think it's going to be ItachixKaida, but I'm not sure yet. IF YOU WOULD LIKE, PLEASE VOTE WHO YOU THINK KAIDA SHOULD BE WITH BECAUSE I'M SO CONFUSED.
Is this a self-insert?
Hahahaha no. Kaida is actually a separate person than me. We're ALIKE in some aspects, but she is wayyyy more different than similar to me. If it was self-insert, I would say.
How are you able to update so fast?!
I have no idea. It's been EXTREMELY stressful to feel the need to update every day, but I really like writing. This story is going well for my first Naruto story. I'm trying to update either: EVERY DAY, EVERY-OTHER-DAY, or at the most, EVERY THREE DAYS.
Is Kaida mary-sue?
Oh god I hope not. I try and make my characters out of the 'I'm so perfect!' range. She has a lot of flaws, but a lot of characters still like her. I thought it would be interesting if Kaida was able to get close to the Uchiha clan. But at this point, if she's mary-sue, I can't redo. So deal with it.
An: Hey guys! I hope this helped with any questions. If you have any other questions, just PM me or leave a review. I'll be back to updating ASAP, I just thought this would help a bit.
THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF "Strawberry Banana Smoothie"
All the love~
