{Kushina}

"Wait!"

I scream waking from my sleep, drenched in sweat. I keep dreaming about the past. Over and over again.

"Will you shut up! You're scaring my sister" a survivor yells at me clutching her sister tightly.

I mumble a apology clutching my knees, bring them to my chest. I try keep my eyes open but I close them and remember the pain I endured.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Kushina!"

I watch as my parents start to drift away from me.

"Kushina you must go" my dad says pushing me from them.

"But dad I w-

Another smoke bomb goes off, I cover my eyes quickly.

"There no life in this pathetic village Kushina now you must go!" My father shouts.

"Without you how will I survive I c-

"We raised you well Kushina to know you'll make it. Here."

My mom throws her necklace across the river. I catch it and smile.

Tears race down, my face. "We love you Kushina we always will!"

"Please wait I l-

"Kushina?"

I steer from my sleep to hear lady Mito's voice. I frown at her appearance, she should be resting not looking after me.

"Don't worry I'm here to see you off" she says reading my mind.

I nod and head to the bathroom to get dress.

~~~

I walk silently side by side with lady Mito. I can't decide if it's a comfortable silence or awkward silence.

"Nervous?"

"No!" I answer to quickly, she giggles at my lie.

"You had another dream about them. Is that what's troubling you?"

I nod, I'd do anything to see their faces again. To laugh with them and eat together like we use to.

I was so kept in my thoughts about last night dream I didn't realize we arrived at the academy.

"Well this is it child. In a couple more days you'll be the last Uzumaki standing after me Kushina. Make me proud"

She pats my head and smiles. I watch as she walks aways. She stops and turns around.

"Make your parents proud, Kushina." I nod and head into the academy.

{Natsumi}

"I deserve to sit next to Natsumi!"

"Well I was here first!"

"Move Natsumi would never look your way pal!"

The same bickering continues around me. What was so special about sitting next to me? Nothing really.

"Your not worthy enough to sit next to a Pafekuto clan member!"

Natsumi Pafekuto. Perfect was my last name believe it or not. I belonged to the Pafekuto clan.

I stand up moving away from the crowd. They shut up instantly watching my next move. I walk past them looking for another seat.

As I head to my new seat, someone knocks me over in my process. Gasps bounce off the walls of the classroom.

Everyone rushes to my aid helping me up. I'm up on my feet, in two seconds heading to my new seat.

I watch as the crowd approaches a girl. She turns to them, she was beautiful. Her bright red hair falling past her shoulders. Pretty dark blue eyes.

{Kushina}

I sit in the front seat, ready to learn. I don't spot a teacher anywhere. What i do spot is a big group of angry kids.

I face forwarded gulping. What's there deal, everyone in the leaf village seems so moody.

"Hey you!" The leader of the crowd calls me out. I look at him, "What?"

He grabs my hair and glares at me. "You knocked over a Pafekuto member you got some nerve kid"

I push his hand away from my hair angered. "I don't know what your talking about! Leave me alone."

I tripped over someone's foot, it was a accident.

"What ugly hair you have"

"Let's call her a tomato that's what she looks like when she's mad"

"How about it tomato girl!"

I feel more than one hand grabbing my hair. I scream in pain.

My pain stops when a light purple crystal ball surrounds me. Sending the crowd of kids flying, in different directions.

"Argh!" One by one they fly away from me. I watch as the crystal ball shatters around me and flies behind me.

I follow the crystals with my eyes and see a girl with Raven hair and bright blue eyes. How dare she make me look weak as if i can't stand up for myself.

"I didn't need your help, you know!"

The girl glares at me with her piercing blue eyes. "You did knock me over, tomato!" She shouts.

Right, but still I can defend myself. "Whatever!" I shout embarrassed not knowing what to say.

Our teacher soon walks in everyone heads straight for their seats.

{Natsumi}

The nerve of that girl, I swear. I was only trying to help that be the last time I help anyone.

"Listen up class, today we welcome a new student from the Uzumaki clan."

Uzumaki, their clan is dying out. All we have left is lady Mito but I'm sure she's not standing well.

"Where is Kushina? Kushina Uzumaki?"

"Right here!"

Ah the big mouth, no wonder her face wasn't familiar. She stands up next to our teacher shyness and nervousness written on her forehead.

"My name is Kushina Uzumaki and im gonna be the first lady hokage!"

Does this girl have a hearing problem or what she yells about everything.

The whole class bursts into laughter at her dream. Which they have a right to, what the hell is she thinking, a lady hokage. That's hilarious.

"Tomato as a hokage as if!"

"Your not even from this village!"

"A girl hokage ha!'

Her dream is silly, but I can't help but feel bad for her. What do these dummies know anyway.

"I wish to be a hokage too, one day respected by all" a voice says stopping the chatter around us.

Minato.

Everyone seals their lips. Of course Minato was the kid everyone liked and was very attractive. I could stare at him all day.

"Okay take a seat kushina, everyone settle down."

Kushina, that's a unique name.

I watch as she makes it to her seat sticking her tongue at me. That little shit.

"Class we will now go outside and practice our shuriken."

~~~

I walk to my little brothers classroom going to pick him up.

I enter the room to see my five year old brother in the corner coloring by himself. "Ah Natsumi, Kioshi was very quiet today" his teacher approaches me

As usual. Why does she feel the need to give me the same report everyday.

Kioshi walks to my feet clutching my ankle with a smile. I could it help but smile back. I pick him up and thank the teacher, leaving.

I take the long way home wanting to spend quiet time with Kioshi.

{Kushina}

"There it is" I finally reached my house. Let's just say my house is it easy to find, not as flashy as other houses.

I enter the house to see no one home. I head straight to my room and lay on my bed.

"You did knock me over tomato!"

"I'm not a tomato!" I shout to no one. I hate this hair. No one here has it, in my village I was more normal to them.

Still here I'm a alien to them. I hate the leaf village. No one is nice, except for that boy that looked like a girl.

"I wish to be a hokage respected by all"

He seems too girly to be hokage anyway and they laugh at me. This village is so backwards.
