So this is a Naruto fanfic I've been working on for while.In this story we will follow my OC Rin Uchiha through her entire life, so from birth, through childhood, through the mesh with the first part of the actual manga/anime and then Shippuden. Disclaimer: I do own Rin and a quizilla user ShadowRose75 owns Suki that will be introduced later on but all credit for Naruto and the original plot/characters belong to Misashi Kishimoto.

****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.

Akira (Alison) has been training with the Akatsuki to be stronger... what will happen when she goes back to Konoha? Does she still have feeling for Kiba?
