If there's something wrong I want to be the first person to hear about it; I'll protect you with my life. I promise." "Don't promise that" I said quietly "my life is unpredictable.

She experienced the emotion of love, she experienced the feeling of pain, she experienced the torture of loneliness, and she even had her fair share of what betrayal felt like. However, there was one thing she had yet to experience, despite it beginning to loom so close and strike fear within the heart's of the Shinobi world as we know it. War. You watched her as a 12 year adolescent struggling with maintaining her feelings and strive to burst free of her bubble of shyness and depression. You watched her as a 16 year old teenager struggling to fight with love for another and her suicidal thoughts/actions. Now, you will watch her as a 17 year old woman struggling to protect her loved ones in the upcoming war that is bringing forth unexpected deaths and even worst suffering. To make matters worst, "Madara" Uchiha has quite a few tricks up his sleeves, one that could lead to the complete extinction of the Kiyomizu clan. The war gets bloodier and more brutal with each occurring death and as she watches the people around her die, Ruka can't help but wonder if she'll be next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm scared" I muttered quietly. Naruto frowned and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to his chest. "I'll protect you with my life, I promise." "Don't promise that" I said, tears slowly streaming down my cheeks "you saw what happen to....him....you and I both know that-" "That what?" "That I'm not gonna come out of this war alive."
