The Girl

A village located at the Border of the Fire Nation, was laid to ruin by bandits and small time terrorists, unable to seek help or fight back, most of it's population perished in the ruthless raid by the time help arrived. Helping out with the recovery and reconstruction off the village and it's inhabitants as much as they could, one of the Chunin sent out on the mission of the same found a girl lying unconscious under a pile of rubble, her hand broken and a deep gash on her forehead bleeding. Upon inquiry it was found that the girl, named Y/N L/N, was adopted by a well-known family who had perished in the fight, and now she had no one. Worried, the Shinobi brought her back to the Konoha Hospital to be treated for her wounds and to decide what further action was to be taken.

"Have you gathered all the dead and disposed of the bodies?"

"Yes sir"

"You've made sure everyone found their family again, and the wounded are being treated?"

"Yes sir"

"And the girl?"

"She has also been hospitalised and is currently being treated for her wounds"

"Good. Send the report to Yondaime-sama"

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

 Y/N L/N, a cheerful and charming 4 year old sits on the metal hospital bed covered in fluffy white blankets as a woman with fiery red hair held back with clips combs the child's wavy brown hair into a French braid. Looking in the mirror, Y/N grins and says with a lisp:

" Oba-chan, Y/N L/N look pwetty?"

The woman smiles at the innocence of the girl who has lost and been through so much,       "Indeed you look very pretty princess, always keep that smile on your face alright? No matter what ugliness may come your way, that smile of yours will shine bright with beauty and life like a lotus in a swamp"

She frowns, confused "Huh?"

The woman chuckles, "Don't worry about it, you'll understand when you're older... Yes you're very pretty princess"

Y/N grins cheekily.

"Oba-chan?"

"hm?"

"Are my pwarents... in the sky?"

"Huh?"

"My momma told me when someone isn't in this world anymore, they go to the sky, and become part of the rabbit inside the moon"

"Is that so?"

Y/N nods with a comically serious expression of a child.

"...Yes princess, they're in the sky"

"Do you think they can see me?"

"I'm sure they can"

Y/N giggles, "But oba-chan, if they're in the moon, how can they see me when the sun's still out?"

The woman hums, "That's a good point princess, but then again if you knew, why did you ask?", she teases.

Y/N simply pouts.

Just then a man with shockingly spiky yellow hair wearing a coat that said "Yondaime" entered the room.

"Kushina what are you doing?"

The woman, Kushina, rolls her eyes, "Just talking to this princess here", she smiles.

Y/N grins up at her. Kushina, still smiling, turns to 'Yondaime'. "Minato.... this girl... Y/n L/N.... we're keeping her"
