Ayaka Hara has been on her own since her parents left her at the age of five. Being a small, quiet girl, people began to take advantage of her weakness and bully her, even Naruto Uzamaki, a boy hated by the whole village. When assigned to Team Seven, along with Naruto, the class clown, Sasuke Uchiha, the class heart-throb, Sakura Haruno, an annoying know-it-all, and their sensei, the copy-cat ninja, Kakashi Hatake, she sets out to become the greatest ninja ever and show her parents just what they left behind. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL NARUTO CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!

Kakashi took in an orphan girl a few years back, her name? Ayame Kawa. Now that she is Kakashi's legal daughter, her name is Ayame Kawa Hatake. A kind hearted, yet independent, girl who is pushed into the dramatic world full of shinobi. Things are much more dangerous that she thought, that's for sure. Especially when feelings get in the way.

Fuzen Kanpeki has shattered. With permission from the Hokage, she has left all she has known: her family, her house, her village, her friends. She has only one goal in mind. She must grow stronger. She must grow stronger than her father, than her sadness, strong enough to live and breath beneath this guilt that pulls her down. Because she knows. She knows it's her fault that he died. She knows that she's always been weak. And she knows that she must overcome. Just how far will Fuzen go to find the strength that she needs?

Hibiki Tsukino was never one to make friends. She has run all her life and wondered why she stays alive. She came up with four reasons; four reasons to live. When she is found by a Konoha ninja and forced to stay there as a genin, what will happen? What if she meets her reasons again? Will she be able to find more reasons? **Under major editing!! I wrote this when I was like 13 or smth so I'm rewriting a lot of it XD Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I only own Hibiki and her storyline.
