****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.

Misumi is a 12-year-old but she's completely different, at first she seem's like a cold blood killer. No mercy at all, but what do you expect from someone who's lived with Orochimaru since birth, with her knowing he only wanted for her powers. She's too much of a smart-aleck for her own good. She covers all that coldness behind her fun loving mask. One day she just gets sick of living with Orochimaru and runs away and ends up at the village hidden in the leaf. ******************************************* DISCLAIMER:I do not own Naruto, all rights go to Masashi Kishimoto. Well I'm going to add an IPod you'll understand. OH ANNND there is going to be a little NarutoXOc but it is not going to be soppy twilight shiz. She's got to be a little OP come on lol :3

Harmony Akako lost her parents when she was eight years old. Don't worry, it wasn't because her family was "powerful" or had a gekki genkai. Far from it since they just owned a family restaurant. From hearing stories about the Leaf Village's ninjas she decided to go there after she lost her parents. Now she lives with biggest knuckle headed ninja! Naruto always makes her life pretty interesting for her. Harmony and Naruto have a great friendship, but it's possible they become something more. When people think Harmony is just a cute little girl it's ruined five seconds later when she curses like a sailor. Hopefully she doesn't have to use her black belt in smack talk to knock some sense into some of these total creeps thare are creepin' around. (Hint hint OROCHIMARU hint hint.) Warning: I apologize for the bad grammar and possible offensive jokes in this book. It was stupid of me to think some of them were funny at the time and I've changed the ones I've noticed, but haven't gone back through to hardcore fix them. My apologies.
