Waiting a month to enter the academy, I was tasked with an impossible job from Ai.

Search...for my chakra.

"Come on Rin! Just concentrate!" Ai hollered as she was standing in front of me. Currently, me and Ai were outside the house sitting in the yard since she said, "Nature helps young ninja find their chakra faster." With the grass itching my butt and sneezing a few times from the flowers, I actually thought this was torture rather than training.

"I'm trying Ai!" I said as I had my legs crossed as well as my hands placed together in front of me. "Besides Ai. Shouldn't I learn this at school?" I asked as I placed my hands on my leg as I gasped for air. I don't know...but searching for chakra takes a lot of concentration and energy. It's not I'm a mary-sue where I could automatically find it.

"Nope. That's academy doesn't even teach you chakra till you graduate." Ai said as she hit me on the head with a stick, which I whined as I rubbed my new bump. Great...Ai is a strict teacher! I whined as I pouted sadly. "Besides its not too hard if you don't give up." Ai said as she sat down on the floor with a bit of effort. "Let me tell you this, chakra is like a fire inside you, hot but cool. It's the energy that keeps you alive, almost like when you put more wood inside a fire." I looked at her with a confused look. "Just try looking for it once more." She said as I shrugged and placed my hands together lazily.

We've been at it for three hours....maybe I don't have the necessary chakra yet... I thought as I closed my eyes and concentrated on looking for my chakra. Come on...please.... I begged as I felt my sweat drip down from my head and towards my neck. Closing my eyes tighter, I looked around for my chakra. Widening my eyes, I realized Ai was shouting at me.

"Rin you did it!" Ai said as she gave me a toothy grin as I looked at the blue chakra that once surrounded me and was now entering my body again. Woah... I awed out as I looked at my body. "Awww I'm so proud of you. Your mom would have been happy for you..." Ai said as she ruffled my hair with a sad smile. Ai says I look like my mom a lot, but I don't remember much since her face was a bit fuzzy since it was the last I saw her when I was just a baby. I think that's why Ai's always spoiling me and making sure I'm OK. To not lose her only family left.

"Arigato Ai." I said as I fixed my hair. "So what's next after this? Jutsus!?" I asked as I was hit in the head again by Ai.

"No! Were going to study about Konohagakure!" Ai said as she had pulled out scrolls from an unknown place, causing me to literraly cry.

"Ai your too cruel!!" I exclaimed as I was dragged inside out house against my will.
*---*---*-*-
For the last few weeks before I entered the academy, I was forced up early in the morning and stayed up late at night practicing the things Ai was taught before she entered the academy. Studying, hiding from her, increasing my chakra levels...heck I can't even remember since I think I passed out from exhaustion between their.

Nevertheless, I had gone through torture- training I mean...and made it to the academy first day. I wore what people would call cute, it was just a simple white shirt, some red overalls, and ninja sandals since Ai was so happy with me wearing it. To tell you the truth, it wasn't that fun. Mostly we were put outside for a moment as each and everyone of us had a brown envelope in our hands as they finally decided to let us in. Looking around curiously, I noticed people I knew and had onced fangirled over.

Ah...there's Konohamaru's sensei...and Kurenai....and Maito Gai...? I thought as I sweatdropped at his appearance. Scary but weird...thankfully he's not wearing any spandex... I said as I wiped the sweat that formed on my head. Ah...there's Kakashi and Obito! I said as I widened my eyes and noticed both boys talking but arguing in some sort of manner. Ahhh...their rivals already... I giggled as I didn't notice a plank of wood sticking out from the floor as I tripped over it. Landing on my face, I groaned in pain as I rubbed my face as if to make the pain go away. "It's my first day here and I'm already hurt...good walking Rin..." I mumbled to myself as I felt a shawdow overwhelm me.

"Hey, are you OK?" I heard as I looked up, wide eyed as I onyx eyes staring at me through orange goggles. It was Obito Uchiha, aka Tobi and Madara as well as the one to start the Fourth Great Ninja War. Rubbing my eyes to see if I was hallucinating, I stood up and smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah...I think so..." I muttered as I blushed in embarrassment as I fiddled with my clothes. Not that I fell in love with you...just that I was embarrassed seeing as I was caught falling on my face. "Umm...I'm Rin Nohara...and you...?" I asked shyly. Step One...be the shy persona! I thought as I couldn't let him now I knew his name.

"Oh...I'm Obito. Obito Uchiha!" He said as he grinned, pointing at himself. "And I'll be the next Hokage!" He smirked as I stared at him. Hokage....everyone why does...is there a special meaning of being Hokage!? I thought as I imagined Obito being Hokage and making everyone wear orange goggles. I burst out giggling like a high school girl, making him look at me weirdly.

"Hey! Rin what are you laughing about!?" He asked as he turned red as his fists were shaking. Trying to breathe as I giggled, I smiled at him with a big grin.

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm just surprised you'd want to be Hokage Obito-kun." I said as I put my hands behind my back. "But...I'd think you'll become a great Hokage someday!" I said as Obito reddened.

"W-Well of course I am!" He said as he scratched his cheek, his eyes still watching me. "Besides I never give up! Just watch and you'll see me no time as the Hokage." He smirked as I nodded.

"So...which class do you have Obito-kun?" I asked as I had my class with Kairu-sensei. Watching Obito with curious eyes, Obito pulled out a paper from his pocket and red it aloud to me.

"I'm with Kairu-sensei...."

"We have the same class together Obito-kun!"

"Ah really? Let walk together then to class!"
*---*---*-*-
Inside the classroom, it looked like any other classroom except the desks looked like university tables and there was nothing but a chalkboard inside the class.

Wow...I'm so entertained now...

Anyways, luckily, I sat next to Obito as there was an empty spot in the back. "So...who's that guy?" I asked as I pointed at a silver haired boy who was sitting alone in the front.

"Oh him? That's Kakashi Hatake." He said with annoyance in his tone. "I don't get what people see in him..." He muttered as he crossed his arms, probably grumbling curses and angry remarks.

"I don't know...but he looks kind of cute with his mask..." I said for a moment before realizing what I said. Ahh! It slipped out!!! I thought as I paled.

"Cute!? Ahh...he even got you too!" Obito cried as he pulled his spiky hair, making me sweatdrop at his action. Putting his hands down, I smiled at him reassuringly.

"Don't worry Obito-kun! I'll always think your the cutest." I told him, making his cheek reddened until it looked like Kushina's hair. Placing his face on the table, I noticed steam coming out of his hair and head.

"T-Thanks Rin..." He muttered as I looked at him confusingly. Wonder what's up with Obito... I thought as I shrugged and noticed our teacher coming inside. He was wearing his Chunin outfit, like the rest of the teachers. He had what seemed spiky brown hair that was going to the back and brown eyes similar to Iruka.

Now that I think about it...didn't he sign up for the academy as well...?

"Alright kids. Welcome to your first day at the academy!" Kauri said as he put his hands together, smiling at us. "Today, we'll be giving our introductions to get us to know each other." He exclaimed happily as he pointed at Kakashi, who had not one emotion on his face. "Alright...you go first." Kauri said as Kakashi stood up.

"I'm Kakashi Hatake." He said before sitting down. Kauri looked at him before shrugging awkwardly. "Alright next is you!" He said pointing at a smaller and kiddy version of Kurenai.

"Ohayo, I'm Kurenai Yuhi! I wish to pass the academy as Genin and learn Genjutsu!" She smiled as some people clapped for her. Ugh...this is gonna take a while.... I thought as I pulled out my journal and began to write down possible scenarios that can cause the war and Madara's revival.

1) I die like canon.

2) Madara kidnaps me and kills me by taking the form of Kakashi...possibly

3) Kakashi goes mad

4) My death

Looking at the four bullets I wrote, I chewed me pencil. Its my death that causes it...if I'm able to change time and cheat my death...I can stop the war...but.... I thought as I drew Tobi's mask on my paper. That doesn't mean I'll die when I get older-

"Rin?" Obito poked me as I jumped. "It's your turn." He said as I looked around, noticing people were staring at me.

"Ah...gomen!" I apologized as I stood up clumsily almost tripping on my own feet. "Im Rin Nohara! My dream is to become...." I paused as I thought for a moment. "My dream is to create peace!" I decided on as that was I was going to do.

"Peace? Hmm...that's a strange dream." I heard Kauri say as he shook his head and smiled at me. "Well if you could..then go ahead and do it." He told me as I smiled at him before sitting back down.

I should have said I wanted to be a Iryo-nin... I said as I felt myself become lifeless with the thought. Looking at Kakashi for a spilt second, I smiled mentally as I caught him looking at me before looking at the board. But first...we have this guy to fix...
