Ripples of Fate. [Naruto Fanfiction]

Prologue

Picture of Namikaze Minako. (I do not own any of the pictures used in this fanfiction I found them online) I also don't own Naruto or its characters. But I do own Minako, she's mine! 

It was a peaceful day in Konoha. Most of the troublemakers were at the Academy attending their first day of class, well most of them at least. Right as a man carrying sacks of food was about to cross the street, somebody clumsily dropped onto the middle of the road as if she just dropped right out of the sky which made the man stumble back and fall on his butt.

She easily regained her balance as she leaped off the ground and into the air once more. Being only a child she could only jump as high as a two-story building. 

"Namikaze!" the man roared in annoyance as he watched the young blonde jump as she let out a small tee-hee and smiled back at the man, the man couldn't help but smile back. Even at times, the young Namikaze could be troublesome but no matter how much trouble she causes she was like a warm light towards the citizens of Konohagakure. The young Namikaze kept leaping trying her best to surpass her highest jump as she made her way towards the Uchiha compound. 

Everyone knows her older brother, Minato Namikaze, known for his skills and strength as a shinobi. Then there's Minako Namikaze displaying an amazingly unique set of skills at a very young age. The moment Minako learned how to walk was the moment that they found out that she had a unique chakra. Minako and Minato's parents passed away when Minako was just an infant. So you can imagine a panicked Minato the moment Minako started bouncing around in the room. 

Minako's chakra is unique when she focuses it on her feet which gives her enough to jump higher than your usual shinobi. And the amazing thing about her is that she lands unscathed, the more she ages the higher her jumps become. 

Minako starts going to the Academy next year, and she couldn't contain her excitement. Even if she's not a ninja yet she's done a few errands for people and even the Hokage himself. Her errands are only within the borders of Konoha most of her errands are delivering scrolls to people and even delivering bento boxes to students as well. 

She managed to pick up a few bento boxes already and right as she landed in front of the Uchiha compound she started running inside making sure nobody's bento box got left behind. 

"Oh, Minako-chan!" an old lady called out once she saw the young blonde. "Obito forgot his bento box not only that but he's late for his first day of class!" the grandmother of Obito started nagging about how he should be more responsible. Minako chuckled as she grabbed the bento box from her hands and said "Don't worry obaasan, I'll make sure Obito-kun gets his lunch." 

The grandmother sighed in relief but once she took in Minako's appearance she started worrying once more. It was normal for her to worry about Minako because Minako lives with her brother, so she doesn't have a mother figure to teach her about being more feminine. 

"Minako-chan! You're filthy!" she pointed out to the bruises, scratches, and even the dirt all over Minako's body and face. A small patch of dirt was even on her cheek, her blonde hair wasn't tied up as she let it go making it tied up in knots and even had twigs and leaves in her hair. 

"It's okay! Even if I clean myself now I'd still end up dirty at the end of the day." Minako said with a smile. "I have to go now obaasan before it's lunch time." as she leaped off once more. It was normal to see a young blonde bouncing all over Konoha, but sometimes people were in awe while others stared in disbelief. 

Finally, Minako arrived in front of the Academy. She stood proudly in front as she stared at her soon-to-be school. Her smile widened as she dashed towards the side of the Academy once she was standing under the window of the room, she jumped onto a tree making the branches whack at her and tangle in her hair then she jumped to the third floor's window and stumbled into the classroom but easily regained her posture. 

"Minako!" sensei scolded as Minako clumsily entered the room with leaves trailing behind her. Some of the children in the classroom stared at Minako with either awe or shocked eyes. Once Obito saw Minako he stood up in his seat and shouted "Minako! It's good to see you!" Making the sensei frown and scolded Obito for being loud. Sensei cleared his throat as he said "Class, this is Minako Namikaze. You're going to be seeing her a lot lately since she's Konoha's personal errand runner." 

She pouted as she faced the teacher and said "I've told you hundreds of times that it's Konoha's bouncing golden errand runner!" And just like her brother, she goes over the edge with names. 

Minako wasn't that known with people her age she was mostly close to elders especially the higher-ups in Konoha such as the Hokage, the elders, and other jonins. She would've been close to Danzo but the old man scared Minako every time he's near, one time he even said that he would've liked Minako to be in the ROOT but then she lacked darkness. 

"Nice to meet you! I hope we can get along!" Minako greeted cheerfully.

Kakashi Hatake already knew the topic that the sensei was discussing. Having a genius father and being a genius himself made almost everything easy for him. What he didn't like about coming to the Academy were the screaming fangirls, where did they come from? He'll never know. He doesn't even know any of them and doesn't know how half of them know him. 

He was spacing out as the sensei discussed the topic for the day when suddenly something jumped inside their classroom not too graceful from the window. His eyes suddenly widened as a young girl stood up, he was amused by the young girl's presence. She had blonde hair that was in knots even leaves and twigs were in her hair. She had a dirt patch on her cheeks, and bruises and scratches everywhere unlike the girls in the Academy that were obsessed with looks. 

What amused him, even more, was the fact that the young blonde seemed unaffected by the stares she's receiving. She just stood in front of the class smiling brightly even if she was missing one of her front teeth. Sensei introduced the young blonde, Minako Namikaze huh, Kakashi thought. 

"Konoha's personal errand runner? Never heard of such a job." one spoke out loud.

"What stupid name is that?  Konoha's bouncing golden errand runner? I'd rather take a kunai to the knee." another spoke but it was one of Kakashi's fangirls. 

Suddenly, Minako's lips formed an O as she remembered what she was doing inside the academy. "Damn! I almost forgot I have bento boxes!" she said as she started grabbing the boxes from her small sack. Once she gave most of the bento boxes she turned towards the sensei and bowed lowly as she said "I apologize for interrupting your teachings, Sensei. I shall take my leave now." 

Sensei smiled at how such a young girl could have perfect manners. "It's quite alright, Minako. Please do take care." Sensei replied. Minako grinned as she jumped out the window and not too long after they saw Minako's big leap making most of the class run towards the window to witness her jump. Kakashi stayed in his seat but his eyes never left the young Namikaze. He never thought that his first day at the academy would be interesting.
