Wait what?!!!

Childhood days[Part 10]

'I can't even train like crazy cause that'd be too suspicious especially when I have practically no goals. Kaka-san has started teaching both me and Naruto taijutsu now. He's also been helping us out with the basic academy ninjutsu too though this isn't enough at all... But being a kid sucks... What should I do now? I'm so bored. Maybe I'll visit Sasugay? I should start distancing myself from him though, if I get attached then I'll be heartbroken.

Nah. I'm gonna have fun right now. Who cares about the future anyways~'

Veronica skipped towards the Uchiha compound secretly hoping that Fugaku wouldn't be there.

Upon reaching the compound, she came across Itachi.

<Are you going on a mission?>

"Uh huh. I'll be back soon though. Take care of Sasuke for me."-Itachi

<I will!>

'I'm guessing he's been given the mission already from the look in his eyes. I can't even do anything... I could try and talk to him though...? No, that won't work. Right now there is no other choice rather than this...

If only I was stronger... If only I had more power in my hands... Maybe I could...

It's useless to think about this now I guess...'

Veronica made her way towards where she guessed Sasuke might be at.

<Training again?>

"Yup!"-Sasuke

<Alright then, I hope you don't mind me watching.>

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Sa... Sasuke?"-Veronica

Veronica sighed when she saw him hugging himself, trying to keep his sleeping self warm. She had gone out to greet Mikoto and found him sleeping.

'Maybe I took too much time...'

She slowly carried him in her small arms, the weight practically crushing her but she wasn't one to complain. Bringing him inside his room she placed the blanket over him and left him a little note.

'If only he was as quiet and cute when he was awake.'

Sighing, she went out informing Mikoto what had happened. She thanked her and Veronica proceeded to go back home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

'Damn. I got no sleep last night thanks to those nightmares... This is such a pain. Dear god, help me.

Whatever, I'll finish cleaning for now. Since we're on break, I can train too. I'll start with meditation and increasing my chakra reserves. I'll maybe ask Kaka-san to get me some of that chakra paper. After that I'll head towards where Naruto is and get him to train with me. I should probably visit the others soon too.

If I still have some extra time then I'll go play around with Shikamaru and his gang. Or maybe visit Hinata.

And there's the thing with the fourth Hokage. I should probably just stop thinking about that to be honest.'

Veronica got freshened up and didn't bother to wake up the sleeping Kakashi. She had a lot on her mind and it seems that the stress probably won't go away for a while.

Getting in the bath, she noticed how the house smelled like puppies and dogs even though Kakashi hadn't summoned tell them ever since she came here. It was a nice smell for her.

Back in the orphanage, everyone mostly smelled like sweat. And sometimes like specific vegetables or like dirt. Lily's house always smelled like flowers which Veronica wasn't very fond of. The smell was just too strong for her liking.

Sighing at her thoughts once more, she thought back to her previous life and compared it to this life. Both of them were both good and bad. She had people she was fond of in both the lives but if she had choose then maybe she would like to have had this life from the beginning. She was scared of being here, she could die anytime if she made a single wrong move but in this life... She could still rise to the top. Sure, there were certain disadvantages but here, if people deem you a threat, they don't look at your origins. Back in her old life, she knew that no matter where she went and who she stayed with, the fact that she was a mistake would follow her forever.

She needed a pretty face and a smile to get by in that life. But here, all she needed was a brain and some strength which could accumulated through working in the right direction.

A/n: I updated the character intro chapter and added the looks and clothes for Veronica. If you want, you can check it out.
