If people asked me what did I think that happens with people after they die...I would have told them I didn't know.

If they were to ask me now, I'd probably tell them the same thing. The idea that half or more people around me are normal persons reborn as Naruto characters is crazy. My own rebirth was hard enough to accept, I'd probably have a heart attack if there were more people in my situation.

Ouch, that was selfish, wasn't it? Well, in my defense, I'm a selfish person. Most of the time but my personality is one of the things I don't blame my currently parents for. I came out the way I did long before the thought of having kids even crossed their head. I still think I came in their lives like a paper bomb, unexpected and well, more trouble than worth but fate wanted me around and I will do my best to stick around.

And... this is the part where I introduce myself, isn't it? Nah, I'm gonna spare you the torture and begin the story. Besides, it's not as if I'm nameless at six years old...

"I'm not naming my daughter after the ocean Suigetsu! Get that through your thick skull!"

"Last time I checked, she was our daughter Karin. It takes two people to do it and what's wrong with the name Umi?"

"Were you the one to carry her and spend five hours in labour?"

That's mostly how these types of arguments end. Mom pulls the 'nine months' card and dad mumbles something about how many times his hand disolved into water because she squezzed too hard; everything said under his breath and out of her hearing range, of course.

I eavesdrop on them so often that I know what they are going to say next by heart. Ever since I discovered how to hide my chakra from them, the fear that they might catch me disappeared. Dad isn't good at sensing people and mom, since I enherited her abilities and a part of her chakra, can't hope to sense me unless I let her.

Which I don't, obviously. She is responsible for what I eat and I care about my food.

Normally, I'd let this slide and go on with my life but if I won't get involved... I'll turn forty and they will still be there, arguing about names.

"Kaa-san, tou-san?" I call, walking with cautious steps and doing my best to look like the innocent six year old they think I am.

"Yes, Momo/Umi?" they ask at the same time, turning to face me with smiles on their faces. I know that they want nothing more than to strangle each other though.

"I was thinking..." I began, putting a hand to my chin imitating adults but looking up at the ceiling in a casual way.

"Yes sweetheart?" Karin asks patiently while Suigetsu silently encourages for me to go on.

"Can I choose my own name?" there, I said it and I would have laughed if I didn't have a mask to maintain. There was silence for a few seconds before they both looked at each other, making me feel like a freaking third wheel but somehow my lips curled up into a small smile. At first glance, they may not seem like it but they are in love with each other and that's good enough for me.

"What did you have in mind, little warrior?" Dad broke the silence, picking me up in his arms.

"I like the name Seina!" I exclaimed in a determinated proud voice, waiting for their final answer.

They were thoughtful for a moment before their faces broke into matching grins. It was scary...because moments later, I think my face mirrored their own.

"It's a very pretty name. I agree." Mom said, pressing a gentle kiss onto my forehead while Suigetsu nodded along. "I don't see why not. Do you know what it means?"

I soon realized I had no idea what it meant. I was still learning japanese, after all and even with my teenager brain, there were things that I still had to learn along with other kids my age.

"Seina means holy child."

The irony didn't fail on me. I had chosen the one thing that I wasn't as my name: holy. Come on, is there such a thing as a holy person? I wanted to open my mouth and say I changed my mind but I kept it shut when I saw the look on their faces. Karin and Suigetsu believed I was the light, the purity that somehow managed to come out from their darkness and sins.

I am a selfish person most of the time but not today so I just smiled happily.

I'm Seina Hozuki, the holy child.

A/N: The chapters to follow will be longer, I promise. This one had to be short. All in all, I hope I sparked your interest.
