9 years before naruto was born a 4 yr old girl was running away from the land of the waves after her parents were killed, and stumbled upon minato when he was on a mission. He brought her back and he introduced her to kushina who adored her. She was...
"Ne, Zira nee-san, why do people always hurt the weak? Why do they hate or fear what they don't understand? Do we only live to be hated and feared by each other?" asked a little boy, who looked beaten up, with blonde hair and whiskers, as he was looking up at his older sister.
A girl with shoulder length lavender blush hair and light cyan eyes, turned from her cooking, accidentally dropping a plate, to look at him in shock for what her little brother said, "Naruto-kun! Why do you look like that?! Who did this to you?! And where on earth did you get those ideas from?!" she asked kneeling down to the five year old boy, worried for her brothers well being.
"I just tripped and rolled of a hill..." Naruto lied, he knew how protective his sister can be so he doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone, yet she didn't bought it at all, "...as for the ideas I-I heard some people talk about how they pitied you for being my sister... a-and i always see people look at me with fear and hatred in their eyes..." he continued as he started to cry continuing to ramble on.
It pained Zira to see her brother like this. She knows that he won't tell her who did this, so she will drop the subject. For now.
"Hey, hey don't cry, sh, sh, sh. It's okay, you see people can be very judgemental sometimes, but hey I'm here to help you and keep you safe from those bad people, you can always rely on me, right?" she asked as Naruto nodded, trying to stop the tears from continuing to fall out. " Ya know, there might be some people that may feel like you sometimes, but they don't have someone they can rely on.... maybe you can be that someone that they can rely on and share that burden with then, ya know?" zira finished.
Naruto looked shocked, "There are pe-people that are l-like me?" he asked doubting what she said. "Yes. There are and I used to be one of them." Naruto was even more shocked, his older sister who always looked at him with a smile, who he always seen with a brave face, someone who said that everything was alright in her life, used to feel the same way as him.
"I promise that I will always be here for you, little brother. No matter what people say or do, and i will always protect you with my life. That I swear from the moment you were brought into this world, and you said you were going to be the hokage in the future. So don't let what other people say get to you okay?" she said giving him a closed eye smile. That was all Naruto needed to feel better.
"Well it's almost getting pretty late, how about I finish making dinner, while you take a shower. Then we can go to hokage mountain to look at the stars." Naruto looked up at her with a bright smile, "Really?!" "Yes. Now come on, in the bathroom you go, we don't want to food to get burned now, do we?" Zira said smirking. "Yes ma'am! No ma'am!" Naruto shouted as he ran to the bathroom.
Zira stand up again continuing with her cooking, she looked to the side to look at a photo she took with her brother when he was still a baby. 'Naruto-kun....., you will face a lot of hardship and pain in the future. I only hope that, you can share that burden with me. I believe that you can become the hokage so people can finally see, that you are not what they paint you to be, that they'll finally open there eyes and see the real you, and I'll gladly stand by your side till the very end, watching you grow up into the person that always wanted to be.'
