prologue

(A/N P.O.V)

The sun peeps over the the trees of Konohagakure, the warm, gentle breeze causing the leaves to sway gently back and forth. It was becoming spring once more. Another year has passed since the alleged accident had occurred.

It took everyone by surprise. All of Konohagakure had been shaken, they mourned the loss of one of their most prized jonin, (Y/N). Til this day, they still could not believe it.

She was a prodigy. At a young age her parents left her. Her clan was in ruins, (Y/N)'s parents just couldn't handle another problem so they gave her up. Considering the relationship between her clan and the Uchiha's, more specifically Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, they had taken the poor girl in. She was only 5 at the time. The Uchiha's however, were new parents of their own, as they had given birth to Itachi Uchiha 3 months prior to her adoption.

Time flew by fast for (Y/N), her skills developing at a very fast rate. It took many around her by storm at how quickly the young girl had been developing.

As confused as (Y/N) was of her situation, the little girl was reluctant of taking the Uchiha's last name the but they had grown on her. She had always looked after Itachi, however he seemed to develop and grow at an immense rate too. One day, on July 23, when (Y/N) was around 12 years old, a new addition to the Uchiha family had been birthed into the world. He was given the name Sasuke.

Around that same time (Y/N) was fast on her way to becoming a jonin. She trained everyday, from dusk til dawn under the watchful eye of Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage, to further grow and become a more powerful ninja. Her adoptive parents worried she was overdoing it, but (Y/N) just wanted to do her best for them, so they could be proud of her.

But then it happened. Following the events of Naruto's birth and the Kyuubi causing mayhem and destruction throughout Konohagakure, (Y/N) had been a mess. The usually calm and reserved jonin was thinking irrationally. She had never shed a tear before but somehow, the death of Minato and Kushina had her on edge.

After training under Minato for a year one on one, she had grown close to the two. (Y/N) had even called them Auntie Kushina and Uncle Minato. She had loved them dearly.

Within the following months she had been send on multiple high rank missions all of which she had successfully completed.

However, one spring day, she had been sent on a mission with her team to gather information. Weeks went by. It was a seemingly normal mission too, they had been sent outside the village to gather insight from an anonymous source regarding the events surrounding the 9 tailed beast, Minato, and Kushina.

After meeting the man at the rendezvous point and gathering all the information needed. They had set up camp for the night and when her team woke up the next day after having her on guard most of the night she had just, vanished.

The team searched, and when they could not track her chakra any longer they went home and informed the 3rd. Sarutobi had sent out many top ninjas, even some of the anbu members out in search of her, but after months of searching, Sarutobi had given up and assumed she had passed on.

Itachi was only 7 years old at the time. He was torn at the fact his big sister had disappeared. He couldn't accept the thought of her dying.

Sarutobi had ruled out that (Y/N) shall not be mentioned or searched for any longer, he thought it was draining. He thought the deceased Minato had just been putting too much faith into the young girl.

Nobody would have ever expected the events about to unfold in-front of them given everything that has happened and changed overtime.

...

(Y/N P.O.V)

I have been running for what seems like forever. My feet ache, I'm hungry.

I check my surroundings more and more trees. Letting out a sigh I come to a halt and sit under the shade.

I'm almost 24 now. how did things come to this I think to myself. Never did I have a normal childhood but everything that has happened since that mission was a new low.

Where is this damn village at I think to myself chucking a little rock on the ground as hard as I could. Not having eaten in days was starting to take a toll on me. Calling out for anyone wasn't the smartest move, not knowing if they were still hot on my trails.

With a grunt, I hold my aching, bruised up stomach as I get up and take off running again. I haven't sensed any chakra around me for miles and miles. The greenery around me seems to stretch on endlessly.

Just then it hit me, I heard the sound of people prattling about along a small gravel trail. Without hesitation I run out towards them from the trees calling out to them.

The trio stopped in their tracks, eyes widening at the horrendous sight of how beaten up I look.

"D..Do you guys know where konohagakure is f..from here?" I ask between breaths taking a seat on the floor next to them. They all share a look as they quickly help me back up onto my feet.

They seemed to be a bit older than me, it was a girl with two guys.

"A..Are you okay miss.?" the girl is the first to speak up, her gentle green eyes filled with worry. I only nod in response as vision begins to blur, my exhaustion was finally catching up to me.

The two men speak up, "It is about a mile or so North from here, that is where we are headed, would you like us to escort you there?" Their voices filled with worry and concern as to who I am and how I ended up like this; just a mysterious beat up girl appearing out of seemingly nowhere.

I nod again and they hoist my arm over their shoulder and help me to my old home.

Home.. I think to myself, not listening to the people around me who are whispering quietly amongst themselves. I wonder how much I have missed..?

We make it to the outskirts of the village and there are a few shinobi watching and guarding the entrance.

"Welcome back you three," The man with the green vest and bandage that wraps around his face and over his nose says.

"Thank you Kotetsu" the three say in unison.

I feel their eyes switch from the trio to me and speak up, "Now who might you be?" He eyes me, his tone filled with both suspicion and concern.

"(Y/N) Uchiha" I say quietly, they both share a glance and you hear them murmur something under their breath.

My vision began to blur more. I tried to fight the urge to give into my exhaustion but I couldn't anymore, I let my eyes close and sink to the floor next to the trio.

darkness..
