A monster is always a monster, and nothing will ever change that. She's innocent, stained by the traditions of her clan and sent into the depths of tragedy and loss. She runs and she hides, but the past can never be ignored; it will never allow itself to be ignored. A monster is always a monster, but a shred of light can do wonders for the fallen. Life goes on, but will she? ★ 1st Place 2014 NWA (Kakashi) ★ ★ 1st Place 2014 TheNWA (Kakashi) ★ ★ 1st Place 2014 NarutoWattys (Kakashi)★

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.

Years ago, a nine-tailed fox demon attacked the land, killing hundreds of Ninjas defending their villages. By sealing the fox demon and giving his life, the fourth Hokage was able to save the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. The demon was sealed in one of two new-born twins, a boy and girl. The boy, who had the demon, was born first sealing his fate. The younger sister was taken moments after her birth by S-ranked criminals, as ransom, mistaking her for her brother. When they learned they had the wrong twin, they kept her to train as a servant. They named her Haruka. For 9 long years, they cruelly trained her, making her strong to do whatever they wished, never expecting her to learn of her origins, her brother, or to ever leave. Yet, one day she did. Formally called Guardian. And the amazing cover? Made by @IzayaKibaRyujiFREAK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay, just wanted to say something... I know this plot is probably the most cliché one, but I know that. I wanted to try and reinvent the cliché though. It will probably be different then you expect. It's kind of a test run for me, but I like how it's going. So please give it a chance, and if it's horrible, tell me so I can fix it or trash it. Thanks! I DON'T OWN NARUTO AT ALL!! I'M ONLY SAYING THIS ONCE, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE READING THIS,THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW TRUE OWNER!! ^_^
