Author's Note: Oh, fine, as promised, I'll get this in quick. Ok.
Chapter 2- Kushina Uzumaki
It was another war-filled, tense day in Uzushiogakure. The village was slowly being destroyed by ninja who feared the incredible power of the Uzumaki clan. One of its members, Kushina Uzumaki, a girl a few years older than Akahi, sat with her family and ate dinner.
Kushina looked outside. Another blast sounded faintly in the distance. She looked back down at her bowl full of ramen sadly.
"Kushina…" her mother murmured softly from next to her. "Something's troubling you, right?" Kushina's father and brother sat across the table from them.
"This war… I-"
"I don't think there's anything you can do about it," said her father grimly, "Even if you are a Genin." Sighing, Kushina rose and trudged off. Her brother followed, and her mother glared at her father fiercely.
"She's stronger than that, ya know!"
As Kushina walked to her room, her brother joined her.
"Onee-chan, I'll help you end the war." Kushina turned to face him and ruffled his red hair that resembled her and her mother's so strongly.
"You heard Dad. Ideas like that are-"
BOOM! Kushina shielded her brother as the house was blown into half. Ninja broke in.
"Go," she breathed to her brother. He looked at her a final time and dashed to their parents. Someone grabbed Kushina and took off with her.
"KUSHINA!" sobbed her mother, who was growing farther and farther into the distance.
"MOM! DAD! NA-" The last name was cut off as the ninja who was grabbing Kushina cupped her hand over her mouth. Kushina looked up at her. Then she stared back at the sorry remains of Uzushiogakure fading away.
I want to rise to the best of the best, become a great shinobi, and bring peace. She brought the Uzushio headband her younger brother had returned to her up to her heart and held it there.
That's my dream.
Oooh, a cliffhanger! You know, as even more consolation, I'll throw in an omake next chapter.
I'd like some feedback. I have short chapters but I update quickly.
