It is well known how Naruto was born on the Nine tails attack. His parents perished and a great loss came upon the Leaf Village. But what if he wasn't the only one born on that day? What if deep in the village a baby was born, and her birth was only known to 3 people in the entire world? What if she was from a distinct clan that was slaughtered by a certain ANBU? What if she trains, grows up, falls in love with a duck butt, creates bonds with a certain Team 7? Well... this is the story of Naomi Uchiha. Hi guys! This is my second series! If you liked my first one, you will like this EVEN better! I enjoyed writing this much more and there are going to be so many twists and *gasp* moments!

****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.
