Naruto Fanfic Where the Main Character Isn't Even Naruto

by hikazesenju

This story is about a girl named Akahi Hyuga. She has a troubled past which she is trying to find out about. A war is going on, and the lives of she and the friends she makes change dramatically as it becomes more intense.

4. Chapter 4

Author's Note: To clear up some confusion, Chapters 1 and 2 took place at the same time. Chapter 3 took place the next day.

Chapter 4- Cousins?

Tsunade strolled around the village with her friends Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"So, Tsunade?" asked Jiraiya. "Which ones?" The three Jonin were discussing which Genin to put on their squads. "I chose Minato Namikaze, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi."

"Minato Namikaze, eh?" Orochimaru smirked. "Choosing the prodigy because you were such a fool? Sarutobi, too. He's got proper lineage. But the Yuhi child I don't understand."

"Spicing things up a bit," said Jiraiya, chuckling darkly.

"Wipe that pervy grin off your face, would ya?! I'm picking… Shizune, and, um… Kushina Uzumaki…" Tsunade trailed off, her eyes widening.

"Shizune and Kushina. Lineage, people. Kato's niece and an Uzumaki clan member," Orochimaru pointed out.

"What the…" Tsunade dropped the list of Genin in shock.

"What's wrong?" questioned Jiraiya, picking it up.

"Akahi?!"she exclaimed.

"Yes?" said a slightly irritated voice. "Can you please move? Granny Mito's waiting." Tsunade whirled around. The two's eyes met, and Akahi looked a bit confused. "Cousin…?" she said slowly. "No, it can't be. But you look like-"She stopped and ran away.

"She said Granny Mito," repeated Tsunade.

"What?" said Orochimaru.

"She thought I looked like her cousin…" she continued. She took after Akahi. Jiraiya showed Orochimaru the paper.

"Talk about lineage," said Jiraiya wonderingly. "Her cousin. Who knew?"

Akahi rapped on the door, panicking.

"Granny, it's me!" she yelled. Mito opened the door and Akahi ran inside. She looked outside.

"Tsunade…" she greeted. Tsunade dipped her head respectfully and went in. Mito followed. "Sit down," she whispered, closing the door. The two sat.

"Grandmother, what exactly happened to Hikaze-sama and Takeshi-sama 20 years ago?"

Orochimaru is so endearing in this chapter. ^^ I don't like him, so I never thought I'd portray him like this… Oh well. Akahi totally freaked out! XD

Two mysterious new characters… Hikaze and Takeshi… I wonder who they are?
