IMPORTANT NOTE: EDITED CHAPTER 1. I removed and replaced some bits.

Note: This is my first fanfic, please bear with my writing and please leave a review. Thank you for your time!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

I remember seeing a post in one of the pages I had liked in facebook. Those pages? You'd probably guessed it; they were about anime or manga. I watched and read a lot of them, I did see a post about choosing which anime world you would want to end up in. It was all for fun after all, the anime that were listed were some that I have watched like, Naruto, One Piece, Fairytail, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online.

I didn't really choose one, but it was an interesting post. I didn't think it would likely happen though, those were anime, stories made by great mangakas and living in one of those worlds could either be bliss or maybe a nightmare, well maybe if it were Attack on Titan it would be a nightmare. I would ask though, would anyone choose to be part of the Attack on Titan world? I wouldn't really want to die being eaten, then again, why am I telling you about a post I saw, on a website which I would never be able to open EVER again?

Well, knowing I did die, die of what? Hmmm, that's a different story. I do remember though closing my eyes and seeing my life flicker in my mind like watching a movie that's in black and white, like the old movies. After watching that movie the next thing I know I see light and the sound of a baby crying, well, I didn't even know it was me until I felt a slap on my butt and the sound, my crying got louder. Hello to my new world.

I had only been born so my vision was all blurry, it would be two months before I could see anything; I still wasn't able to see anything. But I can hear perfectly, even the conversation my mother was having, er, I mean our.

"Mikoto-san, you have two wonderful baby twins, they look like angels" a medic I think said as I felt being held, angels huh? I don't know about that. "What are their names?"

"Iruna and Itachi" So my name's Iruna, I remember an online game with that name, but then that isn't that important. Since it was more shocking to find out that I'm Itachis' twin sister, an Uchiha too and what do you know I'm in the Naruto world.

Let me ask you, would you also be rejoicing to find out that you're in one of the anime worlds? You don't have any add-on abilities, you are nothing special. Well, being an Uchiha maybe I can survive this, but I for one didn't know how to react.

Naruto isn't one of my favourite, nor do I dislike it, but I do know the ending and the Uchiha Massacre. No, how everything that would happen came to it. It's when Obito, one of our relatives, I think, died but was in fact brain washed by Uchiha Madara. Why didn't he just stay dead in his battle with Hashirama?

I wonder if I could meet Obito, but how would I be able to do that? I'm the same age as Itachi and I think it was around four or five years from now Obito would die in their mission to destroy the bridge, because Kakashi was a stick to the rules person. I have to think up of a plan, I have to stop Obito from becoming berserk of a perfect place, but I know can't do it by myself. Maybe, just maybe I can use a seal to alert their sensei about the danger they were in, but he was needed as back-up elsewhere.

I hate strategic planning, but if it's to save Obito and maybe even Itachi so be it. In my situation this is really a drag, in my first life, I was the younger sibling and sometimes I felt I was the older one, since at times I had to scold my older brother or he hid behind me from our father as kids. Yeah, wonderful, normal life times, now, what to do in my infancy?

Well, being a baby isn't that much we wake up, eat and sleep in that rotation those were the first three months of our lives. When I woke up one morning, my vision had become clear and I could see the railings of the crib we were in. Getting up to a sitting position, I looked towards my twin lying beside me.

Baby Itachi, huh? He's really cute, and innocent. I'm also innocent, but having a mind of someone around the ages of forty? Still think I'm innocent? I won't be troubled like Itachi about the upcoming war, but that doesn't mean I won't be frightened of my own death. I had already died once, now that I think about it looking at Itachi, he was always the one protecting Sasuke.

Now, it would be my turn to protect him and Sasuke. Whoever was born first between us didn't matter we were twins and to say we have to look after one another, yeah, I get that but I would have to focus on myself first before I can think of others. If I'm too weak then I won't be able to help or protect anyone, then I would be useless.

That's right, I'll protect my brother, I'll protect Itachi, and I am going to be a strong shinobi. Thinking about it, it made me smile, and when I did smile I heard a gasp nearby. I turned up to see our mother looking at me with a startled expression, blinking a few times, well; I have to act like a baby.

I was told in my old life by my dad that I always laughed as a baby, I could use that. Laughing as I saw our mother, I lifted my arms up indicating I wanted up. That must have calmed her down as her shock had been replaced by a warming smile, and she did lift me in her arms as she cooed at me.

Speaking of parents, the way I address them is different with my old life, I used dad and mom, and here it's mother and father. Our clan is more on the formal one so I would have to follow their rules, but not all of them. I wonder who the heir between me and Itachi is; is it the first born?

Living again and to belong to a clan in the Naruto world, being an heir seems to be a drag. I'd have to follow the elders, but why do the elders have a say in you being the heir, don't clans have a rule for it? Damn elders thinking they have power, I know their thinking for the clan, but they sure are selfish thinking our clan was the best of the best.

Elders have more experience than us, so they should be wise, but they seem to have a one way mind and selfish even, thinking that no other clan compares to ours. I hate our clan elders, were no better than anyone, we have the Sharingan so what?

We have a kekkei genkai that no one else has, but I'm not proud of it, it only copies other peoples' hard work. Anyone would get angry if someone had copied our own hard work. Then again, if I want to know anything about what's happening behind the scenes in our clan, I would have to listen and follow like a puppet. To be used, but then I would have to use them for my advantage.

Now, for the firsts, first time to talk and walk again, it's my second lifetime, so don't argue with me. First time to walk, it was months before our birthday. Our mother had left us in the living room, with pillows surrounding us. Itachi was sleeping and I was awake.

Mother had left us in the living room to spruce the garden. Looking around, I saw the table and crawled towards it. I pulled myself up using the edge of the table to stand, it was not that easy my arms didn't have that much strength, but I was still able to stand up. I had my hands up to balance myself as I slowly walked towards the shoji door which was open showing the backyard.

When I reached the door, I did that a lot of times going back and forth from the door and table. When I heard footsteps coming towards the living area, I went back to my spot. I didn't want them to know that I could already walk.

As for Itachi, it was when we were a year old when he started to walk, and me feigning to learn to walk too. Then again, I did slip up that time, while I was on my feet and Itachi was ahead of me by steps, he fell forward and well I shouted his name before I even stopped myself from doing so, I ran towards Itachi.

Both of our parents were even present then. I didn't see their exchange, and I could only guess. Mother would probably be worried for me, with me showing fast development and I'm not even a two year old yet! Whatever it's already done, maybe by doing this I can get closer to my father. I have always been a daddy's little girl, but manipulation is the key. I know it's wrong to manipulate others, but if it's for the better, then I have to over look the wrong I'm already doing. Except for seduction, that is one thing that is not my alley AT ALL.

Being a girl, mother dressed me with skirts and frilly clothes, which I took care by removing then wearing Itachis' clothes. A t-shirt and shorts, mother was frustrated with me, but eventually she stopped making me wear dresses. She also noticed that I didn't play with dolls, I played more with my brothers' toys like his toy kunai and shuriken, and they were all made of rubber.

When I started to talk, father insisted mother to start teaching me how to read and write. It seemed unfair for Itachi. I was supposed to start talking at the same time as him. Being twins, shouldn't we do things together as babies?

Seems like I ruined that, but I still played with Itachi and when I returned to our room to wake him up, he said "Iru-nee" so to him I'm older. Not that I didn't know, father and mother had mentioned I was the first to be born. Still I kind of hoped he wouldn't talk yet, it made me sad, and I didn't want him to start already like me.

I know he was a genius, but I didn't want him to loss his innocence yet. I was wrong though, we were in the time of the third shinobi world war, and in the following years would be the end of the war and the death of Obito.

By the age of two and a half, father took the time to start teaching us taijutsu and about chakra. Itachi had it easily than me, probably because of our difference of chakra reserves, thinking about it maybe my life force from my old one was added to this lifetime. I was so focused on becoming strong that after out training with father. I would use the remaining time before dinner to practice the katas father taught us.

Itachi had not yet been exposed to the violence of war yet, he stayed with me, but he only watched me. There was even a time I had trained so much until I lost consciousness because of exhaustion.

After that incident, mother often brought me and Itachi to the park to play with the other kids our age when father was out in the front lines. Itachi though being silent wasn't easily approachable, so I was the one who often dragged him to play with the other kids and Shisui helped drag him with us. Shisui would be Itachis' best friend when the time came, but it's not only Shisui he would have but me as well.

Father watched me closely I knew that, continuing to train after he had already dismissed us, and he often saw me with scrolls in my hands. I was taking his attention away from Itachi, I didn't want him to use Itachi, but by doing so was I also making Itachi like Sasuke someone who wished for their fathers' attention. It was during the night. Mother had already tucked us in and left us in our room.

"Itachi?" I said knowing he was still awake.

"Yes, Iruna-nee?" he answered

"Come on, stop the nee part, were twins." I answered a little irritated, ever since he said that as a baby it got stuck, being twins we both had onyx eyes and black hair only mine was shoulder length and I would always keep it that way. "Do you also wish for fathers' attention?"

"I..." he started "I don't know"

"Do you know why I'm training so hard?" I knew Itachi moved his head to look at my direction. I had my eyes on the ceiling.

"No"

"I want to be strong, strong enough to protect you, but before I can even do that I have to be strong enough to protect myself." I turned towards him to find a confused look on him."It's all right, if you don't get it." Pulling my hand out of the covers and holding my pinky out "Promise me though, that you won't keep any secrets from me no matter what. Even if we do become shadows and if you decide to dishonour your promise with me, the burden you think you're carrying will be mine."

Itachi at first stared at me still confused, but probably to mother or father or a shinobi, they would know my hidden meaning with my words, and he did as I hoped he held his pinky with mine and promised.

"Iruna that promise you made with Itachi." Mother said when I was about to follow after Itachi getting pulled by Shisui outside. "What did you mean by that?"

"I want to protect him."

"Who?"

"Itachi"

"Dear, you're too young, a child to make a promise."

"Mother if I asked you to promise me that Itachi wouldn't get caught in our clans' crazy plans in the future would you able to keep that promise?" I stared up at her and she had a shocked expression on her. I already knew her answer. She wouldn't be able to do that.

We stayed in an awkward silence before Shisui called telling me to hurry up. My mother got over her shock and gave a smile to our cousin unwary of the exchange between us. Ever since then mother had become wary of my intelligence, even though I was the noisy one between me and Itachi, and the silent ones are more intelligent.

At the age of three, that was when we would meet the unofficial team Minato. That was also when I would first meet Uzumaki Kushina.

When mother had been called by the Hokage, she left us with a team to watch us, I thought she was going to leave us with Shisuis' mother, but I guessed wrong. She must have told the Hokage we were a difficult pair to look after. It was a surprise to know it was Hatake Kakashi accompanied by his sensei, Namikaze Minato that was going to be our babysitters.

We were at the west gate to see mother off, she gave both of us a tight hug before telling us to be good, to be careful and not to tire our babysitters. She was going to be gone for a week.

Once mother left together with three other shinobis', Namikaze Minato talked to us.

"We haven't introduced ourselves have we?" He said smiling at us. "I'm Namikaze Minato, this kids' jonin-sensei." Then he pushed Kakashi a bit forward probably meaning for him to introduce himself, he had huffed at that.

"Hatake Kakashi, chuunin." Kakashi answered.

"Uchiha Iruna" I introduced myself smiling as wide as I can, then when my brother didn't say anything I added. "Me and Itachi are twins!"

"It seems so, now then, what do you want to do?"

We were in the training field where the memorial stone is, the three stumps, and a lake or pond. Itachi and I already knew how to suppress our chakra, and how to sense chakra. So far there was no other chakra aside from ours, and I know Minato-san didn't place any seals on us.

I'm pretty sure, he was getting used to his Hiraishin around this time. The two of us were trying to learn tree walking, since we had already graduated from the leaf concentration exercise and father had drilled into our heads the academy three and the hands seals that I can do with my eyes closed, and finish all twelve within thirty or so seconds.

Still needs improvement if you ask me, a second can save my life or even someone else's life. As for Itachi, I'm not sure, he's equally as fast as me, but I didn't know if he closed his eyes like I did.

Itachi was already half-way up the tree and my progress was a fourth of the tree. Were my reserves that large? I wasn't getting anywhere with running up without thinking how much chakra I should use.

Thinking more on it, placing my hand on the trunk of the tree I concentrated like in the leaf exercise releasing the amount of chakra I want. It was a process of trial and error, at first I used too much so my hand got pushed off the trunk, using too little my hand didn't even stick, when I finally got the right amount on my hand. I tried it on my feet and started to walk up the trunk slowly at first.

Itachi had noticed me walking up without faltering and while I was at the middle of the trunk he said "Iruna-nee, how'd you do that?" I was too caught up in my concentration that when he had talked I had slipped and fell to the ground. I must have worried him again since he shouted my name in panic before rushing towards me. "Are you okay?"

I laughed at myself for loosing concentration "I'm fine, I'm not hurt."

"But..."

"I guess I should be saying it hurts, right? But as the saying goes no pain, no gain." I said as I placed my hand on his head at the same time grinning to appease him "Don't worry Itachi, it's not that bad and it looks like we lose the game."

Minato-san jumped down from the tree he had perched his self on for twenty minutes followed by Kakashi. "You had me and Kakashi fooled for an hour, running after you, didn't think you knew bunshin though."

I grinned at him "Don't underestimate me, I mean us."

"Minato-sensei, are you really a jonin if you got tricked by two kids by a simple bunshin?"

"You're a kid too, and a chuunin. Second from a jonin" I said to Kakashi and he ignored me as he asked Minato-san to spar with him and they were wasting time babysitting us. I turned to my twin. "Itachi" Itachi turned to me "You know what to do." He nodded in return before he ran towards Kakashi tackling or glomping him, as Kakashi didn't fall to the ground.

"What's he doing?" Kakashi said looking at Itachi then back at me.

I had to hit my face with my palm at that, I didn't think of that through, still the mission was to get his pouch I walked towards them stood by their side 'making' Itachi let go. Itachi handed me Kakashis' pouch that I hid in my shorts pocket. Itachi released his hold on Kakashi, while he continued to ask Minato-san to train him. I wonder how Minato-san survived having Kakashi as his student even before Rin and Obito joined their team.

Itachi and I continued with our chakra training, running up and down the tree for five times. On the tree branches, I looked at Itachi and at the direction of the village. At the corner of my eyes I saw him nod, and before Kakashi and Minato noticed we made our way to the village.

We stayed there for a bit, and when it was already lunch, we went off towards the business district to get some food. I do have Kakashis' pouch, he must have some money in it. While walking though someone had bumped into me and I fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" The person asked, and to see it was Uchiha Obito with his goggles on his forehead. I nodded in reply as I got up dusting the dirt off. Obito looked at the two of us and hummed to himself.

"I'm Uchiha Iruna and" pointing to Itachi "this is my twin brother Uchiha Itachi."

"You're mom is Mikoto-san, right?"

The both of us nodded.

"You know mother?" Itachi said

"I sometimes help her carry her grocery. She's told me about you two."

"And you are?" I asked

"I'm Uchiha Obito, what are you two doing out here? Where's your mom?"

"On a mission" I replied

"Shouldn't you be with your babysitters?" He asked confused.

"We left them"

Obito stared at me and Itachi before shouting "What!? You shouldn't do that!"

"But the stupid chuunin was too busy asking his sensei to teach him, he didn't care about taking care of us, even if it was a mission. He's a stuck up shinobi."

Obito shook his head. "Still, come on" he took our hands and pulled us with him, even I didn't know where we were headed.

We were at Ichiraku Ramen, one bowl for Itachi and I to share while Obito had his own bowl to eat.

"Are you also a shinobi?" I asked him while we were eating.

"No."

"Then, are you an academy student?"

"Yes."

"Is it fun being in the academy?"

"Maybe"

"Do you have someone you like?" When I had asked him that he choked on his food, and he had to drink from his glass of water.

"Maybe" he answered with a small flush on him.

After eating and it seemed like his afternoon classes were going to start, he didn't leave us and dragged us with him to the academy. Obito got scolded by his sensei, but I intervened by then.

"Sensei, please don't get mad at Obito-nii. He was only looking out for us because our babysitters aren't doing their job properly. We just gave them a slip since this morning and they couldn't find us, well, even now."

The sensei stared at me for a while, made me think if I had said something strange, turning to the class though they had a similar expression on them. Then suddenly, the girls in the class started begging their sensei to let us stay for a while, saying we weren't going to cause any trouble.

Their sensei allowed us to take the vacant seat at the back of the class, and gave us some paper along with writing materials to draw with. I wonder how Kakashi and Minato-san are faring, well, this is Kakashis' fault not taking his mission seriously even if it was just babysitting and staying in the academy was the best place to hide. At the end of their class, we went towards Obito.

"Obito-nii" I said getting his attention away from Nohara Rin.

"Are they your cousins?" Rin asked.

"No." Obito shook his head. "I guess were related, but not that close. I'm not really sure."

"Who are you?" I said although I already knew who she is, just from sight. How would I mistake the violet rectangular purple marking on either side of her cheeks?

"I'm Nohara Rin. It's nice to meet you two."

"Uchiha Iruna and this is Itachi, my twin. Nice to meet you!" I grinned. "What kind of shinobi are you going to be, Rin-san?"

"Oh, I plan to be a medic-nin, just like Tsunade-sama."

"Tsunade-sama?"

"She's one of the three Sannin." Rin answered "She's the best medic-nin around."

"What about you, Iruna-chan?"

"Fuinjutsu!" I replied excited "I want to learn that!"

"I see."

Someone said from behind us, and from his tone, there was some annoyance and glee at the same time. Minato-san grabbed us by the back of our shirts before we could even make a run for it.

"Thank you for looking after this two" Minato-san said to Obito and Rin before carrying us like sacks then leaving with a poof. When we came to, we weren't at home, but I noticed a person with fiery red hair cooking and a silver haired chuunin was seated on the couch reading a scroll. "I found them." Depositing us on the side of the couch Kakashi wasn't occupying.

"Where did they go?" Kakashi asked

"The academy"

"They must be smart kids to hide there." Minato-sans' girlfriend said with mirth in her voice "You wouldn't be able to tell their chakra apart from the ones in the academy."

"The good thing is I found them." Minato-san sighed, he must have looked everywhere in the village to find us.

"Let's play again!" I said to tease him.

"Why don't we play something else?" Minato-san suggested.

"Playing hide and seek with you two is tiring." Kakashi added

"You didn't say anything against us hiding in the whole village and" glaring at Kakashi "you are selfish."

"I am not" Kakashi argued.

"Yes, you are" I replied.

"I am not"

"Yes, you are"

"I am not"

"Yes, you are"

"I am not"

"Yes, you are and arguing with means you're just a kid like me! Ha!"

That got him to stop and glare at me, and as a kid myself I brought out my tongue at him.

"How long are you going to babysit them?" I heard Kushina-san say

"A week"

"Neh, Minato-ojisan"

"Ojisan?" Minato echoed. "I'm not that old, just Minato-san would do."

"Minato-san, do you know Fuinjutsu?"

"What about it?" Kushina-san wondered.

"I want to learn Fuinjutsu." I answered.

"Oh, why would you want to learn Fuinjutsu? It's not that flashy and it can be boring." Kushina-san said discouraging me or just stating a fact?

"It's not boring! It's awesome! If you can seal objects and chakra with it, and you can even make effects from it. Like making explosive tags, then my imagination is my only limit! Then I can make my own storage scroll, that way I won't have to buy one. If I can master it then maybe I can even use it during fights!"

"Don't you want to learn Ninjutsu instead?"

"Oh, I want to learn that too and Kenjutsu, but I want to learn Fuinjutsu too! I want to be strong."

"Why?" Kakashi asked me

"Eh?" I deadpanned, thinking wasn't my reason obvious probably not "If I'm strong then I can protect Itachi, and my family. But for me to do that, I have to be strong enough to protect myself first, if I'm weak then I'm useless. What about you Bakashi?"

"Bakashi?" Kakashi echoed while Minato-san and Kushina-san watched us in interest

"Oh, that came out wrong." I said thoughtful. "I meant Bakashi-nii" either, I'm being polite or being totally rude, who cares, he's selfish and pretty childish for a chuunin. "What's your reason for becoming a shinobi?"

Kakashi didn't answer me or rather he didn't want to because the way I see it he remembered the dishonour his father suffered for saving a comrade. I knew his reason. He solely chose to live by the shinobi code. For a person like me that wasn't a fan of Naruto I do know a lot about the characters, hey, knowing about the characters seemed to be a plus for me.

"Bakashi-nii! If you were on a mission and your teammate got kidnapped, are you going to abandon that person?" I asked

"Rule #04: A shinobi must always put the mission first." He answered automatically

"What if it was someone important to you?"

"Mission first"

"What if it was Minato-san?"

"Minato-sensei can handle himself"

"Your mission is to retrieve a certain document, and you were with Minato-san, he has suffered chakra exhaustion and he doesn't have any soldier pills nor do you and abandoning him would be a success to the mission. Will you still prioritize the mission?"

"I..." he trailed off probably thinking, Minato-san had already become one of his precious people can he really throw him away?

"If it were me I would forget about the mission, either it was someone precious to me or merely a team mate, I would save them. Those who break the rules are trash, but those who don't care for their comrades are much worst." As said by Obito during their mission "I mean, if I were to become team mates with someone who saved their comrades, and in exchange abandoned the mission. I can be sure that they have my back and they won't abandon me. Being abandoned by anyone is the worst a person can ever feel."

Kakashi stared at me and I stared at him not breaking eye contact, he was probably sizing me up, for a three year old to be wiser than him. Tired of our staring contest and I can see Itachi was looking at me then at Kakashi since he was sitting between us. I could even feel the stares of Minato-san and Kushina-san. I guess the atmosphere had become a little heavy.

I smiled at him, really smiled at him. "Don't worry Kaka-nii, if I would ever be your team mate I won't abandon you, I'll save you. I won't let you die. As a shinobi, shouldn't we look underneath the underneath?"

I heard Kakashi snort and said. "You're not even a genin yet." But I could hear the amusement in his tone.

"Hey!" I shouted "Not yet, but one day I will be and a strong one too!"

The first day of their babysitting went by like that. I must have knocked some sense into Kakashi from my words. We stayed at Minato-sans' house together with Kushina-san and Kakashi.

"Minato-san you haven't introduced your girlfriend to us." I said as we sat by the dining table eating dinner. I was beside Itachi and his chair was placed so close with mine, we could share the seats, Kakashi sat in front of him, Minato-san sat at the head and in front of me is Kushina-san.

Minato blushed as I mentioned the word girlfriend. "Right, Iruna-chan, Itachi-kun this is Uzumaki Kushina."

"You didn't say my girlfriend" I said smiling.

Kushina-san then laughed as I teased Minato-san. "So your Mikotos' kids?" she said

"How do you know that?"

"I'm Mikotos' friend, she told me about her two kids, twins that seemed to be tiring to take care of when they got older. You, Uchiha Iruna seem to be the ringleader than your brother here, managing to slip a jonin and a chuunin. Not bad."

I laughed embarrassed "It's their fault, underestimating us."

"Oh, but you seem to be the mastermind of it."

"Don't bully Iruna-nee." I heard Itachi say, did it look like that? He hasn't learned to remove the nee part.

Turning to Itachi it was the first time I see him pout and it was so cute, smiling at him I said "Kushina-san isn't bullying me, she's just, uhm, saying her, saying her thoughts. Besides it's a compliment, I think?" Turning to Kushina-san "Is it?"

Kushina-san smiled "It is. I'm sorry Itachi-kun. I didn't mean to bully your sister."

"Apology accepted" Itachi answered looking down at his already empty bowl. Still smiling I ruffled his hair and turned to continue eating.

Thinking about it, I wonder what they thought of me and Itachi, being the ringleader I seemed to make me look like the older sister, then again first born. Father hasn't even mentioned who the heir is between me and Itachi. We shared a bed in our stay at Minato-sans' place. Itachi lay near the wall while I took the other side. I turned to Itachi when Minato-san left us to sleep.

"Itachi?" I said.

"Yes, Iruna-nee?"

I laughed softly "Nothing, good night."

"Good night."

It was during the fourth day, when Kakashi had noticed his weapon pouch was missing. Took him long enough, but my lips are sealed. Minato-san glanced at me before suggesting that he must have left it at his house.

Kakashi went to check and of course he wouldn't find it, I had it with me. He thought of buying another weapon pouch, but remembered that his wallet was in his weapon pouch. Seriously, didn't he have a different pocket for that? Still watching a distraught Kakashi was something.

"Minato-san" I said "Can me and Itachi train in your backyard?"

"Sure, but what are you going to train?"

"Taijutsu, handseals and tree walking"

"Kakashi, go watch over them, I'll just finish this." He said while he washed the dishes.

When Minato-san decided to join us, he would see Itachi and I fighting against Kakashi. Kakashi was good, but he had some openings that we could exploit. Then again, were three years old, so he still had experience on his side. I was about to strike Kakashi while he had his back on me, and Itachi was about to kick him on his side. He grabbed Itachis' leg and using Itachis' momentum threw my brother at me, sending the both of us to the ground.

"Can you still fight Itachi?" I said as I pulled Itachi up, he nodded "Are you sure? I wouldn't want mother getting angry at us for training so much." I was answered with a yes "Again" I grinned at Kakashi.

He was already sweating from our fight two-three year olds against a chuunin. He didn't say stop though, guess he needed to spar at some point. We continued fighting until we finally got him down on his back.

"Yay!" I jumped up "Take that Kaka-nii, we win."

"That was a good fight." Minato-san said leaning against the only tree in the backyard, he was writing in a small notebook. "Want to get something to eat?"

"But we just ate a while ago" I said

"That was this morning, it's already past twelve. I wanted to stop the three of you, but you kept on fighting. You two are pretty resilient for three year olds to keep up with Kakashi, and he's even more winded than you two."

"Sensei, it was two against one!" Kakashi argued.

"Just means you need more training Kaka-nii." I said grinning at him

"Okay your training is done for the day. The three of you wash your face and hands before we go eat." Minato-san ordered

"Yes, Minato-san" Itachi and I chorused while Kakashi only grunted.

I was the first to finish wash up and I went to Minato-san who was still in the same position when he told us to wash up.

"Minato-san, what are you writing?" I asked curious to know what was in the notebook

He hummed before turning to me "I'm writing my ideas for seals, have any ideas for fuinjutsu? You did say you wanted to learn it."

"I do have some ideas" I answered pulling out a small notebook from my pocket and giving it to him. He went through it "You have some great ideas, but fuinjutsu is difficult and it's the most dangerous too if you're left unsupervised." I had hoped he would say he would teach me, but he didn't say that when he returned my notebook.

On the sixth day of our babysitting, Minato-san and Kakashi were called by the Hokage, and well they couldn't really just leave us unattended so they brought us with them. I looked at the shinobis' entering and leaving the tower, I wanted to see the Hokage too but we were left outside the office with the Hokages' secretary.

Minato-san and Kakashi had been inside the office for a while now, and I needed to go to the restroom. Asking the secretary for directions to the restroom, before I left I told Itachi where I would go so as not to worry him. The secretary had mentioned I would pass by a room labelled as records room, it was closed when I passed by, and when I was on my way back to where Itachi was waiting I noticed the door of the records room open a bit.

I know it was closed at first, and no one was supposed to be in there. I should go and get Minato-san or the secretaries' attention for this, but what if it was an intruder and they had already gone off with the information they needed?

I was frightened to encounter the intruder, but I guess my stupidity got the better of me. Swallowing and breathing in and out, I pulled out the kunai, the one Kakashi placed in his weapon pouch. Maybe an extra kunai, I had practiced using the kunai in my spars with father so I have some knowledge on wielding it.

Slowly pushing the door open, and keeping my senses on alert. The lights were off, there were a lot of shelves in the room, shelves that can help the intruder hide. I can feel sweat in my hand as I went around the place, but even if the intruder had very light feet. It was too quiet in the room for me to mistake something bumping into one of the shelves to my left as a harmless rodent.

Taking in a slow steady breath, I took some steps to round the shelves. Until I saw a silhouette crouched down riffling through the lower shelves. I was suppressing my chakra before I opened the door and went inside, I didn't know if I was undetected by him, but I was thinking if I should ambush the intruder, or I'm really an idiot to go in by myself.

I'm not even a shinobi yet! I cursed my idiocy. I can die! I am such an idiot. I could only pray to kami hoping this would go well. Kami must have answered my prayer because when I stepped out to rush the person, I threw the shuriken I had in hand catching him off guard. The intruder turned towards me, before he could reach me though which were four steps for him, I didn't think this through!

I used kawarimi with one of the books behind him and drove the kunai to his neck. It was dark in the room. I only felt the blood gush out from the wound I inflicted on him and I his body dropping onto the floor.

The lights came on then and I heard steps approaching me. I stared at the dead body in front of me. That was a fluke, right? How could I possibly have bested a trained shinobi? They were trained with sensing charka and I'm only a beginner, or they were too surprised that they weren't thinking properly?

I looked up from the dead body then to find Minato-san and Kakashis' shocked expressions. There was something I realized when I faced them, things seemed slower, or was it my brain messing with me?

Blinking I looked down at myself. Blood was on my hand, all over my clothes, and it was flowing out of the man's neck. I didn't vomit, watching a lot of morbid horror movies made me immune, but didn't they say feeling warm blood on your hands was different than the ones you see?

I had taken someone's life. I didn't know if it would haunt me or not. Was I in trouble? No one was allowed to enter the room, unless you were the secretary or the Hokage.

When mother would return from her mission, Itachi would be the only one she would see. I won't be there to greet her back. I was in the hospital, being checked for my mental stability. I was only three years old, and at this age killed someone. I'm still calling it a fluke it just doesn't seem to be possible, but it happened.

I know that I was fine even with the many questions they threw at me. I didn't have any nightmares when I went to sleep. It just made me think if I was emotionless to not feel anything on killing someone.

During my stay in the hospital, I continued with my training. I didn't want to waste time, warming up by stretching and running in place before I practice my kata, followed by hand seals, the academy three, and wall walking.

The medics that saw me would stop me, and forced me to read. I wasn't against reading. I could learn a thing or two when reading. Just one problem, I didn't like history that much especially if it's all dates.

So when there was a medic that would watch me, I would be reading the book. If left alone I would be training, that had been my schedule for two weeks until I was released stating that I was mentally stable. I expected to see Mother with Itachi to pick me up, but they weren't there. The persons I saw instead were three persons.

AN: And thank you for taking the time to read this. Tell me your thoughts of this edited version of the first chapter, I would love to know!
