Her Hair ( A Minakushi Story)

Ch- 1 Her Hair

Kushina's POV:

I was as nervous as a wreck, today was my first day at Konoha's ninja academy and I needed to make an excellent first impression, My teachers were accompanying me to my class. One of them I presumed would be our class instructor for our entire time at the ninja academy.

When our teacher essentially shoved me into the class he announced.

"Class from today we are going to have a new classmate who will study with you for the entirety of your years at the ninja academy." "Please if you will give us an introduction," he stared blankly at me.

"My name is Kushina Uzumaki, ya know " I almost shouted at the class, and they were staring at me like I had something out of the ordinary. Then It finally clicked, I just forgot to tell all of you that I tend to say the words "ya know" a lot. I blurt these words when I am excited or nervous.

And then everybody started laughing at me. I heard some children say, "Oh, look at her hair, it's so ugly and red",  "It's so long and ugly " another pipped in.

Then I knew why everybody was laughing at me, because of my stupid, messy, and ugly red hair. I hated my hair, it was a pain to tie them, a pain to have shampoo in the morning, and just a pain in general, sometimes no almost always I wished that I could have some other type of hair like simple long black hair or something but no, I was stuck with this stupid long mane of blood-red hair.

As you see there is a pretty good reason for me having this particular hair color. As I was born into the prestigious Uzumaki clan of Uzushiogakure, the village hidden among the swirling tides.

But I couldn't get why was everybody calling my hair ugly as they have most probably seen red hair before as the wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju who was the founder of the village was none other than Mito Uzumaki, the daughter of the chief of the Uzumaki clan.

"And I am going to be the village's first female Hokage, ya know."  having blurted out these words without thinking she quickly clutched her mouth with her hand in embarrassment.

Just as I announced this everybody started laughing hysterically at my claim.

"I am going to become the Hokage as well and earn the recognition of my teammates and teachers alike" announced a boy with spiky, untamed blond hair.

'He doesn't look very trustworthy to me, he looks rather flaky and girly to me' Kushina made a mental note to herself.

"Ok everybody sit down and open your books to page no. 34 and start reading" announced sensei.                                                                                                                                                                                       ___________________________________________________________

My first day at the ninja wasn't what someone would expect as the first day at his or her school, Kushina thought as she was heading to her home in the harsh sun of Konoha's infamously hot summers.

If hadn't been for her mane of preposterously long red hair, she would be feeling a lot cooler right now.

When she got back, she ate lunch, studied a little, read a few boring books, ate dinner, had a shower, changed into her pajamas, hopped into her bed, and started recalling the events of what she could describe as a long and nightmarish day.

'First, she humiliated herself in front of her new class,  then she beat up a few boys who were calling her a tomato for her round face and red hair, she later received detention for the same and then she came home and did the regular,  old stuff she does daily and fell asleep'                         ___________________________________________________________

Minato had just reached back home and was greeted by the only other person living in his house, his mother, Narumi Namikaze. 

"Welcome home, Minato. How was school today?"Narumi chided in as her son took off his shinobi sandals and went up to his room.

"Nothing special, but we have a new classmate this year, she's a girl and her name is Kushina Uzumaki" Minato responded from the top of the staircase leading up to his room.

Minato quickly changed and was called down by his mother for lunch.

"Coming mom" Minato responded quickly and made it down the flight of stairs in record speed. He was always renowned for his blazing speed, even back in the academy. He was said to be faster than the Chunin instructor who was teaching their class.

 As Minato sat on the opposite side of the table to his mom, his mom poured the miso soup she cooked for lunch.

The pair of them had their lunch in peace as Minato talked about Kushina and how she beat up the boys who were teasing her for being called tomato and many more things.

"You like this girl, don't you Minato," His mother said in an alarmingly sweet voice.

"W-What do you mean mom," I said, almost a shade of crimson.

"You already know what I mean, and besides you're as red as her hair right now" His mother replied.

This caused me to blush even more.

In my defense, I quickly gobbled down the remaining of my rice and miso soup and ran off to my room.

I quickly finished my homework, read a few books, practiced a few kicks and punches in my room, went down to eat dinner, took a bath, and slept rather quickly.                                                            ____________________________________________________________
