Our Heavy Burdens (Naruto Fanfic Gaara Love Story)
No one knew this would happen. No one knew Minato and Kushina would have twins. No one knew that the babies, the boy and girl, would become the jinchūriki of Kurama. No one knew that the girl would be sent to Sunagakure and become friends with the Kazekage's youngest child. Heck, no one even knew that the girl would be friends with the Akatsuki and make them big softies.
Nariko Namikaze is the twin sister of Naruto Uzumaki, only being a minute younger than him. The two of them are opposites: Naruto looks like Minato while Nariko looks like Kushina, and Naruto acts like Kushina while Nariko acts like Minato. Nariko also learns and becomes friends with Yin Kurama earlier than Naruto does with Yang Kurama.
As she grows, she learns things that some people hoped to keep from her. Such as, that she's the daughter of the fourth Hokage and that she has a twin brother. Determined, serious and kind, she befriends all people she meets, and when they reject her she smiles and moves on. With a smile on her face, she hides the deep sorrow that only the people closest to her can see through her eyes. Her dream is to make everyone happy, and to reunite families that have been separated, such as Sasuke and Itachi as well as the sand siblings. Will she be able to succeed, and find her own happiness along the way? Or will the darkness of the world consume her?
I don't own Naruto/ Shippuden. All rights go to the original maker, Masashi Kishimoto. However, I do own Nariko and the changes that I will make in the story line. If you wish to use some of the details I made, ask and it may be granted to you.
Used to be called One and the Same. Will be under gradual editing.
