A/N: I know I should've continued my other stories! But—but I just have to type this one down! An idea in mind, type them! That's my motto! For now… I'll promise to update my other stories when high school isn't in the way!

Explanations will be at the other A/N

Full sum:
A world of highly skilled ninjas is like a world filled with unbearable never ending darkness. It's almost as it seems like there are no pure hearts in a world full of bloodshed and war. Hands tainted from all of those lives they've taken, innocent or not. The ninja world is such a dangerous place to live in. What will happen when two lights enter their dark world? Just how much could they change the cruel fate?

Warnings: AU! Because some character who are supposed to be dead are alive!

T for blood! Because this is the ninja world.

[EDIT]:
Summary still the same. New plot and story. Added a lot of new scenes. So enjoy!

{EDIT 2}:
No more -san, -chan, and -kun, or any other Japanese sayings. I realized that it's a bit hard when your Nationality isn't Japanese ^^" (I've decided not to change 'teme', Dattebayo, and Dattebane)

Chapter 1
Light in Darkness

"The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may give in. But I've learned that deep down there's a light that never goes out!"
—Sora


"Man! You're so slow Sumi! You're going to get left behind!"

"I'm sorry Kura! I didn't mean to slow you down…"

"Don't worry about it Sumi! C'mon! Rae is waiting for us by the slides!"

"Ok!"

A pair of blue eyes watched as the two friends meet up with their other friend near the slides. The lone boy watched with a sad look in his eyes. Those kids were the same age as he is and yet, they didn't ask him to play along with them! Even though he's the son of the Konoha's Yellow Flash and the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero, people never did take notice to the little boy. Laughter filled the joyful air, reaching his ears like a cursed melody. Dull blue eyes were seen as he snapped back to reality. He always daydreamed of having many and when he means 'many', he means many of them.

Naruto Namikaze dreamed of that day to come very soon…

"Hey, did you hear? Sasuke like girls with long hair!" A girlish squeal was heard.

Naruto didn't hesitate to show his dislike at the name. He was jealous of him. Sasuke Uchiha, the superstar among girls—just like any other male Uchihas. Honestly, he just couldn't see on what so special about that Uchiha kid anyway. The Uchiha has boring chin-length duck-butt hair and a pair of boring onyx colored eyes. The Uchiha wore really gloomy clothes and not to mention the boring daily routine every day. Sure, the duck-butt-teme isn't his classmate in the Academy, but he knew his routine. Very predictable, ever since his caring yet scary mother introduced him to the Uchiha family. The ever stoic Uchihas were full of pride, especially the head clan. It was always training with the Uchihas. Every one of them was full of pride, but Duck-butt-teme's mom and his big brother were okay… along with his two cousins… they were nicer to him.

"Uh-huh! I heard he also like tomatoes!" Another one of Sasuke's fan-girl screamed in delight as she danced around with her other girl friends.

"Oh so dreamy~!" Another one squealed.

Naruto growled as he balled up his tiny hands into small fists. 'Sasuke this… Sasuke that! Oh he's so dreamy! I hear he like tomatoes! Oh~ so dreamy! Bleh!' He imitated with a girlish voice in his mind and grunted in disgust, glaring dagger at nothing. He let out a soft sigh, remembering what his mom told him about getting angry. Something bad would happen if he gets angry and if his mom find out, well… let's just say he'll receive a good whack and a long scold or more likely, the yell of a life time. 'Why can't it be me? Why does Teme always get the all the attention?' he asked himself.

"Naruto?" A voice called out. Naruto spun around on his heels to face a beautiful woman with long straight red hair. This beautiful woman is Naruto's mother. "Did you have fun while we were at work, Naruto? Did you make any new friends?" she smiled, crouching down to her son's eye level.

Naruto hung his head down, not daring to see his mother's violet eyes.

Kushina Uzumaki, now named Kushina Namikaze, the Konoha's Yellow Flash's wife. She had long fiery-bright red hair that reaches to her knees, a pair of violet colored eyes with long lashes, and fair-skin. She earned the name of the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero because of her fiery attitude and her long red hair. Despite the not-so-nice-and-creative nickname, she's still a very caring person.

"Naruto? What's wrong? C'mon, you can tell mommy! Are you having problems with your crush?" Kushina grinned, ruffling Naruto's defying-gravity hair.

Naruto shook his head sadly, still staring at his blue sandals. "Nothing…" He mumbled.

Kushina let out a deep sigh. "What's the matter, Kushina?" A masculine voice asked from behind her. The red-head turn her gaze over her shoulder and trace up to see a handsome face, the Konoha's Yellow Flash himself. His blue eyes stared at Kushina and Naruto with a worried look. He crouches down to Naruto's eye level and smiled warmly. "What's the matter, Naruto? You can tell daddy and mommy everything." He said, lifting his son up with ease.

Minato Namikaze the Konoha's Yellow Flash. Well known for his speed and his abilities as a legendary shinobi. Also well known among the ladies, just because he was already taken doesn't mean his 'fans' would give up just like that. Minato had spiky defying gravity blonde hair with jaw-length bangs framing his face. He has bright blue eyes, similar to Naruto's eyes. The difference about him and his son were the bangs and the whisker marks on Naruto's cheeks. Other than that, they look very similar even their personalities are almost the same as well.

Naruto pouted and looked to the direction where the other kids were playing, not wanting to answer to his father's question.

Minato tilted his head as he stood up with his son in his arms. "What the matter with your friends, Naruto?" he asked with a small smile.

"They're not my friends…" Naruto muttered with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest. "They're Sasuke-teme's fans and friends." He continued with a sour look.

A visible vein popped on Kushina's forehead as she balled up her fist. "Naruto? What did I tell you about that language?" She asked darkly, shaking her fist angrily.

Minato and Naruto paled. "Ku-Kushina? Do-Don't be so hard!" Minato laughed nervously scratching the back of his head with his free hand.

Kushina turned to Minato, her eyes glowing evilly as her long hair flew around her, "Stay out of this Minato!" She growled.

"Y-Yes, dear…" Minato grinned sheepishly, even though he's the Konoha's Yellow Flash, he can't escape his wife's wrath.

"Now Naruto, what did mommy tell you about that word?" Kushina turned to face her son, cracking her knuckles loudly, enough for the two blondes to hear a crack in the air.

"I-It's a bad word used by bad kids…" Naruto answered nervously as all color was drained away from his face.

Kushina smiled as she placed both of her hands on her hips. "That's right! And my Naruto is not a bad kid!" she ruffled Naruto's hair, making him look at her violet eyes. Kushina placed a puzzled look as Naruto had on a sad expression. Her eyes quickly softened as she lifted Naruto's chin up. "What the matter Naruto? Is something bothering my little gentleman?" She asked gently.

Naruto began to sniffle as he brought his tiny hands to wipe his tears away. "I-I don't ha-have any friends… No-Nobody likes me…" He said between sobs. "They all like Sasuke! Why does everything have to be about him?" He cried loudly.

Minato and Kushina exchanged glances to each other before smiling. "Naruto… We love you with all of our hearts and everything is also about you, not just Sasuke." Minato patted Naruto's head with a smile on his face. "You are our son and don't you ever think that no one likes you. They just haven't seen the real Naruto Namikaze!" the older blonde chirps, ending his sentence with a huge grin.

Naruto stopped sobbing to stare at his father with teary eyes. "T-Thanks dad…" He wiped all of his tears away to replace it with a small smile. "But I still want a friend…" he mumbled, but Minato heard it.

"…If you want Naruto, I can always tell them to be your friend." Minato offered with a soft smile.

Naruto shook his head slowly, "I… I want to make friends on my own… I don't need help from you, dad." He said with a determined smile, glancing back at the kids his age who were playing with each other.

Minato's and Kushina's lips curled up into a smile.

That's their Naruto alright.

-The next day-

"Naruto! Breakfast is ready!" Kushina yelled, as she set a cup of coffee in front of Minato. She grimaced at the strong scent of coffee entering her nostrils. She isn't much of a fan of coffee like her husband. The redhead prefers sweets instead of bitter coffees. "Honestly, Minato… how can you stand coffee? It'll give you bad morning coffee breath." She sighed, after taking a seat next to her husband.

Minato let out a full-hearted laugh. "You can always brush it off with toothpaste, Kushina." He placed the newspaper down to grab the white cup. The blonde took a full sip of his coffee while Kushina gave a disgusted look. He placed the cup down with a nervous smile. "How about you try some Kushina? Can't hurt to try a sip, now can it?" He offered.

Kushina glared, "No thanks, Coffee Lover." She said, sighing. The redhead glanced to the other side of the table and still, her son wasn't down yet. A visible vein popped on her forehead. It's been three minutes since the last time she called him to go down and have breakfast. "Naruto! Get your lazy tiny bum down here this instant! Do I have to come up there and drag your bum down here myself?!" she yelled.

"Waaa! Coming mom! Coming!" Naruto frantically yelled from the second floor as multiple panic thumps could be heard from the first floor. Minato laughed nervously as he saw his wife settled back down on her chair, sighing heavily while rubbing her temples.

"Take it easy on Naruto, Kushina." Minato said, taking another sip of his coffee. Kushina turned to face her husband with a straight look on her face as Minato could only gave a small smile. "He had a hard day yesterday… I'm surprised that he doesn't want me to tell the other kids to befriend him." He laughed.

Kushina gave her famous glare, "That would be overusing your title for your personal needs, Minato." She grumbles, making Minato laugh even harder. A soft smile replaced her frown. "Besides, Naruto is like a grown up man now." she said.

Minato smiled. "You're—,"

"Gyah!" Both Minato and Kushina heard a cry of pain as multiple thuds were heard. It was Naruto. He was on the floor, rubbing his bum while his face shows pain. "Bah! That hurts!" he whined, standing up to his feet.

Kushina sighed, "Maybe not…" She shook her head, taking back the Naruto-chan-is-like-a-grown-up-man-now praise. Minato could only laugh nervously. What can he do when he's facing his angry wife? Obey and avoid conflict at all cost, of course. Finally, they both saw Naruto sitting on his chair, munching down his sandwich. "So, Naruto? How did you sleep last night?" Kushina asked with a warm smile.

"I slweeep bwel!" Naruto chirped with a mouthful of his sandwich.

Minato gave a small smile, "Naruto, please don't talk when your mouth's full. It's rude to do that in front of a lady." He wiggled his index finger in a scolding manner.

Naruto swallowed. "Sorry, dad…" He apologized and gulped down his morning orange juice. "Oh and I sleep well! Thanks for asking mom!" he grinned as he gave a thumb up to his mother.

Both Minato and Kushina smiled. "So what are you going to do today, Naruto?" Kushina asked as she took Naruto's empty plate to the sink.

"Hmmm," Naruto hummed as he placed a hand on his chin, putting on his thinking cap. He snapped his fingers as he grinned happily at his mother and father. "I'm gonna make some friends today, Dattebayo!" he pumped his fist up in the air.

Kushina face-palmed.

"Ah… Have fun." Minato smiled and ruffled Naruto's hair. "And tell daddy when someone is bothering you, okay? I'll have a few…words with them." He winked.

Naruto nodded happily. "Sure thing Dad!" He gave a thumb up to his father and ran up to his mother, giving her a peck on her cheek. "See you later mom! Dad! I'll be at the park if you need me! Dattebayo!" he chirped happily, waving his hand goodbye.

"Oh! Be back by lunch Naruto!" Minato yelled out before Naruto exited the house.

"Dattebayo!"

As soon as Naruto was out of the house, Kushina let out a deep sigh while she mumbled a 'Dattebane'.

Minato grinned as he placed an arm around Kushina's shoulders. "You're rubbing off on him sweetheart!" He shouted happily.

"Shut up…"

~Destiny Islands~

The sun was shining brightly above a small island. The calm blue sea surrounding the small island was wide and clear, not a single trash was polluting the beautiful ocean. The shimmering sunlight was making the sand sparkle like a thousand tiny jewels. The sound of the gentle waves hit the shore with a 'whoosh' were mixed with the sounds of seagulls' chirping and children's laughter.

Five children were playing tag along the shore lines.

"Tag! You're it!" A small girl with long brown hair exclaimed as she tagged her brother on the shoulder. The small, yet energetic girl was the youngest of the five. She has long chocolate brown hair with a pair of bright blue eyes. She wore a simple white shirt with dark blue shorts and a pair of sandals. She also has a wooden sword hanging from her belt. She loves to play wooden swords with her brother and friends. The girl has also a strange addiction. She loves knitted hats and would wear them every day, even in her sleep. Her name is Hikari.

"Hey! No fair! That's cheating! No splashing!" The boy argued with his fist raised at his little sister. His spiky defying-gravity hair was a bit wet from the splash and his bright blue eyes glimmer brightly under the sunlight. He wore a simple white t-shirt with blue linings, puffy red shorts, and a pair of brown sandals. The boy also has his wooden sword hanging from his belt. Between the five, he was simply the most energetic boy ever. He has a rivalry-friendship relationship with another boy in the group. They both always fight, to prove who's better. His name is Sora.

"Actually, we don't have rules. So it's not cheating." A boy chuckled at the sight of his rival slash friend getting splashed by his little sister. The boy was the oldest one in the group. He has short silver hair with a pair of emerald colored eyes. He wore a sleeveless yellow t-shirt with blue linings, dark blue pants, and a pair of black sandals. He also has a wooden sword hanging from his belt. He was one of the three who likes fighting and sparing with his two brown-haired friends. His personality was the most mature one in the group. His name is Riku.

"He's right, Sora." A girl with short red hair exclaim with a giggle. The girl has short shoulder-length fiery red hair with bright blue eyes, matching the color of her hair. She wore a white purple and white dress with white sandals and a white pearl necklace around her neck. Unlike Hikari, the redhead was simply more mature than the brown haired girl. She doesn't like to fight, but argue a lot with Sora and Riku. She got along pretty well with everyone in the island. Sadly, she isn't from the island. She was found unconscious by Sora, who spotted her at the shores. Later on, she was adopted by the Mayor of the island. Her name is Kairi.

"…" A girl with long blonde hair could only smile at the sight of her friends bickering in a friendly way. She was the quietest among the five and the most artistic. She has long blonde hair, draped over her right shoulder and matching sparkling blue eyes. She wore a very simple white knee-length dress with a pair of blue flowery sandals. She was always seen drawing in her sketch book or quietly playing with her friends. Her name is Namine.

"Awww! You're siding with them?! So un-cool! I thought you were on my side!" Sora whined with his cheeks puffed out in a pouty way.

Hikari grinned. "Four against one! I win Sora!" She exclaimed happily, pumping her fist up in the air. "Looks like you're going to be the Zombie now!" She laughed brightly.

"It's three against two! Namine didn't say anything! So there before she's siding with me, right Namine?" Sora turned his head enthusiastically to said blonde girl.

"Not exactly, Sora." Namine smiled warmly at the brown haired boy, who groaned loudly and sat down on the golden colored sand.

"UNFAIR!" Sora screamed into the air, facing the ocean with a fuming face. As a result, he got hit by a wave, making him wet from head to toe. "Double unfair!" He screamed again, standing up to his feet.

Riku and Hikari laughed loudly as Kairi and Namine giggled. "You should've seen the look on your face, Sora!" The silver-haired boy's laughter eased down to a chuckle. "It was like you were shock and snorting at the same time, kind of like when you were sleeping." He smirked.

"Hey! I don't do a 'shock and snort' face when I'm sleeping!" Sora argued with his foot stomping angrily against the soft sand.

Hikari snorted in disapproval. "As if! My room is next to yours remember? I can still hear you snore! And when I came into your room, your face was like this!" the brunette grinned before making a silly face with her fingers, earning laughter from her friends and her brother.

"Your face is going to be stuck like that if you don't stop." Kairi scolded as she giggled.

Quickly, the brunette stopped making faces and blushed in embarrassment. "Hey, since Zombie Sora is now dead." She said and ignored her brother's cries. "How about we play another game?" she asked.

"Like what, Hikari?" Namine questioned, her head slightly tilted to the side, sketchbook in hand.

"How about hide and seek? We haven't played that in a while!" Sora suggested, grinning happily as he crossed his hands behind his head.

"I guess…" Riku scratched the back of his neck, looking unsure, but agreed anyway. "How about instead of hiding at the tree house, we go hide around the island? What do you say guys—oh er… guy and girls?" He smiled at the girls.

"Sounds great! Alright, who's going to be the ghost?" Hikari asked.

"Not me!" Sora, Kairi, Namine, and Hikari answered in unison, leaving Riku dumbfounded.

"W-What?" Riku blinked his emerald eyes a few times, looking confused.

"All who agrees Riku's going to be the ghost say 'aye'!" Sora raised his hand high up in the air while smiling at Riku's direction.

"Aye!" Kairi, Namine, and Hikari agreed as the three girls nodded their heads.

Riku let out a deep sigh before nodding his head as well. "Fine…" he gave up and closed his eyes with his tiny hands. "I'm going to count to fifty and you all have to hide somewhere in the island, but no going back to the main island, got it? Okay then, one…two…three…four…five…" the silver-haired boy started to count.

Sora and Hikari panicked and bumped into each other before running off towards different directions. Kairi and Namine shake their heads at the brother-sister siblings before running off to find their hiding spot around the island. There were many hiding places in that unpopulated island. The tree house was a very good place to hide, the waterfall, the small forest, and of course, the cave. It was a mystery on how the cave has drawings on the walls. And yet, the biggest mystery was the wooden door inside the cave. No one has ever opened the door, not because they're afraid of it, no… but because it cannot be opened.

Sora snickered quietly as he found the perfect hiding spot. He choose to hide in the cave where it was the least place Riku expected. The brown-haired boy came here often to see the door. He was curious on what's behind the wooden door. He even tried opening it with all his might, but failed miserably. He also wondered if it leads to different worlds. After these strange two visitors came to the unpopulated island, Riku has been talking about other worlds, making Sora interested as well.

"Hehehe, Riku would never find me here! This place is perfect!" Sora snickered again as he sat down and leaned against the cold stoned wall.

"Guess again, my dear brother." A voice said from beside the spiky brunette.

"Waaaa! A ghost!" Sora screamed and quickly covers his mouth with both of his hands.

"Oh ha ha, very funny," The voice laughed dryly. It was his little sister, Hikari, sitting beside him. She had on an irritated look as she glared at her big brother. "What are you doing here anyway? This is my hiding spot!" she yelled as quietly as possible.

"Your hiding spot?! Sorry little sister, but this is my hiding spot." Sora yelled back, but with the same volume as his sister.

"Mine!" Hikari argued, balling up her tiny hand in a fist, shaking it at her brother.

"Mine!" Sora yelled back.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Do you want to know what's behind this door?" A deep and dark voice stops the two from bickering.

Alerted and scared, Sora and Hikari withdrew their wooden swords and glanced around to find the source. Two pair of blue eyes scanned the cave with fear. They never heard that voice before. It was unusual and scary. Clearly, it wasn't from anyone in Destiny Islands nor was it from a living person. It was a disembodied voice. Suddenly, a figure appears right in front of the two brunettes.

"GYAAAA!" Sora and Hikari screamed at the sight of the figure. The figure's posture was hunched down and he or she was wearing a dark robe. His or her face was unseen because of the long hood. Arms were crossed behind his or head back to add the 'scary' look. Sora, being the eldest of the two, stepped forward and stood in a protective stance. He narrowed his wooden sword at the mysterious figure with a trembling glare. "Wh-Who are you?!" Sora bellowed angrily.

"Do you wish to know what's beyond the door?" The figure continued to ask.

"W-Well… yeah, but—," Before Sora could even finish, the figure lunged forward, passing right through the brunettes like a ghost.

"H-Hey!" Hikari complained, turning around to face the mysterious figure, but the figure was already gone. "Geez… What a freaky weird ghost…" she sighed, scratching the back of her head.

Sora nodded his head in agreement. He turned around to see the door was wide opened. "Hi-Hikari… look," He tapped his sister's shoulder and earn an irritated grunt. Soon, both brunettes were staring at the wide opened door with wide eyes. "Do…do you think it's save for us to go in there?" he asked hesitantly.

"Heck yeah!" The six year old cheered happily, grabbing her brother's hand and dragged him along.

"B-But the ghost opened it! Who knows where we'll end up!" Sora complained, trying to back out.

"Nah! He is a bit creepy, but he did open the door for us! How about it Sora? Up for an adventure?" Hikari asked with a wide grin plastered on her face.

Sora returned the grin with a smile.

They both completely forgot about the game.

"You bet."

The two brunettes walked through the door, hands claps in together tightly as light consumes them.

The door creeks slowly and shuts with a soft 'thump'.


~0=X=0~

"Sora… look…"

Sora slowly opened his eyes as it adjusted to the bright light. He blinked away the spots in his vision before his eyes were met by a fantastic view of a city, no, a village. It looked so old and yet, so full of life. Tiny spots were moving around the streets. He presumed those were the villagers walking around, but from his point of view, they looked like tiny black ants! Either way, the village was peaceful, not a single ruckus was made.

"Hey! Check this out! We're so up high!" Hikari's loud voice snapped Sora out from his daydream.

"Of course we are, Hikari—Hey! Get down from there!" The seven year old cried frantically as he saw his sister, climbing up the fence of the border. He quickly grabbed her ankles and dragged her down to the stoned floor, panting heavily. "Don't do that! You might fall! Who knows how deep the fall is!" He scolded like a brother he is.

"Sorry, Sora… but you have to see how high we are! That ghost is awesome for bringing us to here! This place is cool!" Hikari grinned happily as she stood up to her feet. "Race 'ya down to the town! Last one there is a rotten pickle! Hahahaha!" the brunette quickly sprinted off towards the many flight of stairs and started to run down.

"Wait!" Sora called out to his sister, but it was too late. "Oh man… mom and dad are gonna kill me! Hikari! Wait up!" He shouted loudly, following his sister.


~0=X=0~

Naruto excitedly ran down the street to the place where he usually plays. The local playground was located beside the Sweet House, the place to drink tea and eats sweets. Today was another weekend day, Sunday morning to be exact, the time where kids his age should be playing. He knew that some adults don't like him that much and some kids don't like him too or just ignore him like a ghost, but he also knew that deep down inside, some of those kids would like to play with him.

"Look at him… walking down like nothing happened…" An adult whispered.

"Such a disgrace to his family… that… that de—,"

"Sssshhhh! We aren't supposed to talk about that!"

Naruto glance over to the whispering adults, curios about what they were talking about. He chooses to ignore it as it didn't matter to him. It was common for him to get gossiped around by a bunch of ladies or get a 'not-directly' insult from them as well. All he cares about for today is getting a friend. That is his mission for today.

"This will be the day! Dattebayo!" Naruto screamed into the air, pumping his fist up.

"Hey! Look out! Get out of the way!"

"Eh?" Naruto turn to his right, but was quickly met by a blob of brown. He along with the brown blob screamed in pain as the blob bump into Naruto with such force. The two of them quickly fell down backwards to the ground, a small dust cloud around them. Naruto rubbed his forehead as tears whelmed up to the corner of his eyes. It was the definition of pain! "OW! That hurts!" he whined loudly.

"Gah… Ugh… Oweeee!" The brown blob also whined loudly, rubbing his or her forehead.

A visible vein popped on Naruto's forehead as he stood up to grab the blob's collar. "Oi! Teme! What's the big idea bumping into me?! Huh?! That's hurts!" He yelled loudly at the blob's face.

"'Teme'? Me?! Why you brat!" The blob shouted. Naruto blinked as the blob's voice sounded so… feminine. No girl has ever been this… mean and loud to him before. They usually just told him off to go bother someone else other than Sasuke. A hand also grabbed Naruto's shirt, making him snap out of his thoughts to stare at the blob—er girl. "Listen here Whiskers, you're the teme here! Who the heck stands at the middle of the street shouting to nothing?! Huh?!" She screamed at his face.

Naruto gritted his teeth. "You're the teme, Teme!" He shouted loudly. "You're the one who came out of nowhere, knocking me over!" He raised his fist to the girl.

"I didn't come out of nowhere! I come from there!" The girl pointed to the opposite direction, at the alley way. "Use your brain Whiskers!" She tapped her temples a few times, glaring at Naruto.

Naruto scowled before observing the girl carefully. She had long brown curly hair that framed her round-shaped face and what surprised him was the pair of blue eyes, being used to glare at him. The girl wore casual everyday villager clothes, a plain white shirt, dark blue shorts, and regular sandals. The wooden sword on her hips doesn't confuse him. What confuses him was the hat she's wearing. It was a knitted hat, which means it was only meant to be used for winter time! This girl was defiantly weird.

The two continued to glare at each other for a few more seconds before the two burst into loud laughs.

"Hah! That's the longest time I've glared at someone!" The girl slapped her knee as she laughed like a hyena.

Naruto clutched his sides, "That's the first time I've ever laugh this loud with a girl!" he shouted between laughter.

The girl grinned as she wiped her nose and flipped her long hair off her shoulder.

'Wait… long hair?' Naruto blinked in realization. 'Oh great… another Sasuke-teme fan…' He groaned.

As the two stood up, the girl brushed the invincible dust off her pants while Naruto shoved his hands into his pants' pockets, looking as sour as ever as he remembered his rival.

"I should've known… You're another Sasuke fan…" Naruto said, pitching his voice a little higher at 'Sasuke', to make sure he imitated a girl's voice.

The girl quirked an eyebrow up confusedly, "What the heck are you talking about, Whiskers? I'm not a fan of this… this Saus-kuke! Whatever that is…" She huffed angrily, feeling insulted by this… boy she just met!

Naruto blinked a few times as his jaw was hung open. "Y-You're not a fan of Sasuke-teme?!" He shouted loudly, pointing his index finger at the startled girl. "B-But I thought th-that every girl in Konoha likes him!" he stuttered.

The girl's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Look here, Whiskers… I don't know any Saus-kuke-teme, but I'm defiantly not a fan of 'him'… I just got here today, ya' know!" she exclaimed with her arms crossed.

"Huh? Aren't you from here? You seem like you're from Konoha…" Naruto began to minimize his loud voice.

"So that's the name of this town… weird… but okay…" The girl whispered to herself. "Doesn't match though… Not like Destiny Islands… at all…" She continued.

"Uh… I don't understand a single thing you're saying, girlie…" Naruto scratched the back of his head. He wanted to slap himself. This was the chance for him to make a new friend! The girl isn't from the village. She isn't a Sasuke-teme fan. She's doesn't know about him and his family. And most of all, she is kind of cute, but Sakura Haruno would always be his crush! "But… uh… What's your name?" he suddenly asked.

"Oh! The name's—," The girl was cut off when there was high-pitched squealing everywhere. "What the—?! Not again! Run Whiskers! Run! There are ghosts everywhere! Quick! Hide in that bush!" she girl exclaimed as she lunged towards the bush under the large tree.

'Wouldn't that be the same? If there are ghosts here… they would probably find her in that bush…' Naruto sweat dropped as he thought of the girl's strange behavior.

"Whiskers! What are you doing?! The ghosts could be coming after you! Quick! Hide!" The girl shouted, raising her hand to point at the spot beside her.

Naruto stared at the girl's sudden change of character. First, she was mad at him for standing at the middle of the street. Second, she began rambling about her life. And third, she began to shriek in horror because of Sasuke-teme's fangirls—who she thought as ghosts. This girl defiantly has some mood-swings like his mother. The blonde broke into fits of laughter as he clutched his sides.

"What are you laughing at Whiskers?! You could be cursed!" The girl shouted.

"Hah! Girlie! Those are Sasuke-teme's fangirls!" Naruto exclaimed between laughs as he rolls on the ground.

The girl rose up from her hiding spot with twigs and leaves in her hair. "Fangirls? Saus-kuke-teme is a fan and a girl?! Are you friends with—with fan ghost girls! Are you a wind ghost?! Are you going to curse me, Whiskers?!" She questioned frantically.

Naruto began to laugh again. 'So this is the feeling to have a friend.' He wondered to himself, wiping the tears away. He stood up, wiping his nose sheepishly as he saw that the girl was glaring daggers at him. "Yeah! Sasuke-teme had a ton of fangirls! They're everywhere! With the squealing and the high pitch screams and the gifts! Ugh! It's driving me nuts! And no! I'm not a ghost! I'm Naruto Namikaze! Dattebayo!" he pointed his thumb to his chest as he exclaimed happily.

The girl grinned. "Heh! And I'm Hikari! Just Hikari! I know my name isn't that cool like yours… You're named after a food! That's so cool!" Hikari huffed, puffing her cheeks out.

"Ah…" Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "T-Thanks I guess… My dad named me after a character from a book he was reading…" He said with a sheepish grin.

Hikari gave a curt nod.

"Hikari is also a very cool name…" Naruto mumbled, using a suffix on the very first girl he has every talked to, other than his mother.

"Thanks Naruto! You're the first friend I've make here!" Hikari placed her arm around Naruto's shoulders, pulling his closer to give a 'manly-bro-hug' as his father told him whenever giving Obito or Kakashi a bro-hug. "I was hoping my first friend would be a girl… but who cares anyway!" She grinned.

Naruto sheepishly grinned as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Besides…you kind of look like a girl!" Hikari finishes with a playful grin.

Naruto's grin fell as he balled up his hands in anger.

Smack

"OW!"


~0=X=0~

Sora was glancing around the street. He was clearly looking for something… or someone. He lost sight of his little sister when she turned to a sharp corner. Since then, he was pretty much lost in the middle of the busy street. His brilliant bright blue eyes scanned through the thick wave of crowds. He scratched the back of his head while looking confused. How can he lose his little sister when she was really loud?

From a distance, a certain Uchiha has been observing the small boy since the moment he stop at the middle of the street. The small boy seemed to be more confused than a kid in a candy store. The Uchiha's onyx eyes softened. The boy looked no older than seven. His brown hair was styled in a really defying-gravity style, more defying-gravity than his teammate's and his sensei's hair. He had long bangs, framing his round-shaped face. The small boy wore a simple white shirt with blue linings, red puffy pants, and black sandals. He also has a wooden sword hanging by his belt.

'Must be a new kid…' The Uchiha thought, scratching the back of his neck. He made up his mind. He slowly approached the boy.

Sora paced around the street, trying to find someone to ask directions, but he seems to fail. The people were too busy doing their own jobs. Some did spare a glance to him though, only to admire the cute face of his. He kept on trying to ask for direction and yet, people seem to ignore the poor kid. He gave up with a deep sigh as he slumps both of his shoulders down in disappointment. What is wrong with the people here?

"Lost?" A deep yet a friendly voice asked. Sora spun around to see a man grinning down at him. The man crouched down to Sora's eye level, his grin never leaving his lips. He had spiky jet-black hair and a pair of kind onyx eyes. He wore some kind of green vest over the all dark blue clothing. White bandages were wrapped around his right thigh, but he didn't seem to be hurt. A pair of black fingerless gloves, one of his hands was shoved inside his pants' pockets while the other was placed on Sora's tiny shoulder. He wore black sandals and again, bandages were wrapped around his ankle, making his pants a big puffy. A few last things about this man were the orange goggles dangling around his neck and the strange headband he wore with a metal plate on it. The metal plate also has the same symbol as village's symbol. "Don't worry there kid… I'll find your parents for ya." He grinned.

"Wow! Are you a…a…a—uh...um…" Sora began to ramble up some words for the right word to describe the man.

The man grinned, "An awesome Ninja?" He suggested, puffing his chest out.

"No! A loopy person!" Sora exclaimed innocently, pointing his index finger at the twitching man.

"Ah… Why would you call me a loopy person, kid?" The man asked, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance.

"Because you have goggles! All loopy people have goggles while walking around in the middle of the streets at midday!" Sora exclaimed happily as he crossed his hands behind his head, a grin appeared on his small round face.

A vein popped on the man's head, but he showed it by twitching his eyebrow and mouth, although, he still had on a smile. "Ha ha ha," He laughed dryly, ruffling Sora's defying-gravity hair. "Real funny kid, but no. Sadly no, goggles are actually in now kid." He said sternly.

"Heh! I think the kid's right, Obito. You look like a loopy person." A new voice said from behind the man called 'Obito'. Sora tilted his head. This man behind Obito has black clothing with a sword on his back. He was almost smiliar to Obito, but he seemed younger. His hair was styled in a messier way. Sora stared at the other man with awe. He seemed to notice the awe look at the kid's face. "Hey there kid, the name's Shisui Uchiha! What's your name kid?" he asked with a smile.

"Wow! Are you Loopy's Twin?!" Sora questions, his index finger pointed at Shisui.

'Lo-Loopy's twin?' Shisui snickered as he crouched down beside Obito. "Nah! I wouldn't want to be twins with this idiot!" He grinned.

"Hey…" Obito punched Shisui's shoulder in a playful manner. The other Uchiha gave a sheepish grin before turning his attention back to the small boy. "The name's Obito Uchiha, this idiot's cousin. Now, what's your name kid?" Obito asked.

"Me? My name's Sora! Just Sora!" Sora introduced with one of his signature grins.

Obito shook the thoughts away about this boy having no surname. This would be hard looking for his parents. He replaced his confuse expression with a smile, "Okay Sora. So where did the last time you saw your parents?" He asked gently.

"But I don't have parents… They're not here." Sora answered with his head tilted to the side. Obito and Shisui exchanged looks before turning to the boy with a sad expression. Poor boy… "I'm here with my little sister. I'm looking for her! She kind of ran off towards somewhere…" he exclaimed sheepishly.

Shisui nodded his head. "And what does your sister look like? Can you tell us more about her? Maybe we can help you look for your sister." he said.

Sora nodded his head happily. "Yeah! Hikari has long brown hair and blue eyes!" He grinned.

Shisui mentally groaned. There're a lot of little kids at Konoha with long brown hair and blue eyes. "Uh… Can you be more descriptive? Uh… specific?" He asked.

Sora tilted his head, confused at the words.

Obito nudge his cousin on his stomach. "He's just a kid!" He yelled at Shisui with a 'duh' look. He turned back to Sora after glaring at Shisui. "Sora, when was the last time you saw your sister?" he asked.

"Hmmm," Sora hummed. "Oh! I was chasing her! And then I lost her at that sharp corner!" He pointed to an alley.

"Well that could be easy… that ally only leads to two streets, the playground and the library… My guess would be the playground. You?" Obito asked as he lifted Sora up with ease.

"Way to state the obvious cuz…" Shisui rolled his eyes, before the two walked up to the alley Sora pointed out.


~0=X=0~

"So, Hikari…" Naruto called out nervously. This was his first time talking to a girl, who's the same age as him, almost as cute as Sakura, and has a fiery attitude. Although, people kept on flashing weird looks at her direction. She seemed to ignore every single gaze and comments. "Where are you from?" He asked.

"Destiny islands of course!" Hikari replied, grinning as she went down the slide. She looked up to see Naruto getting ready to slide down.

"Where's that?" Naruto asked again, confused. He has never heard of a 'Destiny Islands' before, maybe it was a name of a candy house or something.

"In the middle of the sea," Hikari answered brightly. "I kind of ran off… but don't worry! I can always go back there!" she smiled.

Naruto nodded curtly.

"Where are you from Naruto?" Hikari asked back.

"Here! At Konoha! But…Um… I forgot the address of my house, but I remember the way back!" Naruto replied as he slides down the slide with his hands up in the air. "Next question, what's your brother like? I don't have a brother… Sasuke-teme also has an older brother." he asked, staring up to Hikari's blue eyes.

"Oh," Hikari replied, waiting for Naruto to stand up. "My brother has spiky brown hair and bright blue eyes! He's fun to be around with! He plays with me all the time! And he always cheers me up when I'm sad! I'll introduce you to him when I found him!" She helped Naruto up to his feet.

"He sounds like fun!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin.

"Uh-huh!" Hikari nodded her head happily. "I couldn't ask for a better brother!"

"Hikari!" The brunette spun around to see two teens, one of them carrying her brother on his shoulders. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" the boy exclaim with a frantic look.

The man sets Sora down carefully and as soon as Sora was on the ground, he dashed towards Hikari and embraced her into a tight bear hug. "Don't you ever run faster than me again! It's cheating!" He scolded.

"I can run as fast as I can!" Hikari shouted as she smacked the back of Sora's head.

"Ow! That hurts!" Sora cried out in pain. He looked up to see Naruto, staring in confusion. "Who's this?" The brunette asked.

"Oh! I'm Naruto Namikaze! Dattebayo!" Naruto proudly exclaimed. "You must be Hikari's brother, Sora!" he shook hands with the one year older brunette.

"Uh-huh! Nice to meet cha, Naruto!" Sora asked, crossing his hands behind his head.

"So this is little Hikari…" The other teen said, breaking the conversation between the kids. He leans down to observe Hikari's curious blue eyes. He grinned and patted her head. "You've caused us a lot of trouble for trying to find you." He continued.

"Not my fault that you can't find me, Girly Boy." Hikari retort with her arms crossed. The teen quirked an eyebrow up as the one who was carrying Sora snickered while Naruto stiffened a little.

"Hikari! Don't you know that he's an Uchiha?" Naruto asked in a whisper. Hikari gave him a deadpan look that can be translated into a 'have-you-forget-that-I'm-new-here?' look. Naruto grinned sheepishly, realizing his mistake. "Oh yeah… you and your brother are new and all… Hehehe, sorry I forgot." He apologized.

"No problem, Naruto." Sora smiled as he placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

'Girly Boy' blinked a few times before he smiled. "Feisty little girl, aren't cha?" He asked with a small chuckle. "My name's Shisui Uchiha and this idiot beside me is Obito Uchiha." He introduced.

"My name's Hikari! But you knew that." Hikari offered a hand to the two shinobi.

"Nice to meet you, Hikari!" Obito exclaimed happily as he crouched down to Hikari's eye level. He reached both of his hands out to pinch both of Hikari's cheeks, stretching them apart. "Awwww, you're just so cute with your round and chubby face! I could just eat you up like a dango!" he exclaimed with a small blush.

A visible vein popped on Hikari's forehead as she pinched Obito's cheeks in return. "Ha ha ha, you too Obito! I could just eat you up like a…like a… mochi!" she said bitterly while smiling.

The two continue with their pinching and arguing while Shisui could only shake his head about his cousin's acts. Obito was like a little child in a body of a seventeen year old. On the other hand, Sora had on a grin and Naruto confusedly stare at the bickering Uchiha and the brunette. Even though Naruto only met Hikari a few hours ago, she was defiantly the type to start a fight or as his mommy and daddy say 'the bad-girl'. But Hikari wasn't a bad girl, right?

"Shisui? Obito? What are you doing?" A new voice said.

Obito and Hikari turn to face a boy, younger than Shisui. "Awah! Itachwi!" The older Uchiha exclaimed with a nervous look. "Nwice two mweet wou hwere! Bwat bawo wou boing hwere?" He asked as Hikari kept on pinching his cheeks, making him difficult to talk.

'Itachi' rose a black eyebrow up. "I do not understand…" He said quietly.

Obito smiled as he lifted Hikari up, making her stop pinching his cheeks and shoved his face away with her tiny hands. He placed the girl back down on the ground. "Ah, sorry, sorry… What are you doing here Itachi?" He asks again.

"Mother asked me to come and get Sasuke and you two for lunch." Itachi said with his eyebrow still up.

Sora observed the eleven year old boy in front of him. The youngest Uchiha in the ground has long jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail with a few loose strands framing his face. Even at the young age, the boy had light stress lines on his face. It must be because of all of the homework the teachers gave him. Sora shook his head and continue to observe the boy. He had on the same all black clothing as Shisui and had the same onyx eyes as both Shisui and Obito! It must be a family trait or something. Sora thought with a small frown. Just how many Uchihas are out here?!

"Shisui, who are those children? They don't look like they're from this village." Itachi asked, revering to Sora and Hikari. The Uchiha prodigy has met Naruto before when his mother invited the Namikazes for a family dinner.

"Ah, Itachi… meet Sora and Hikari. They're new here." Shisui introduced.

Itachi nodded in acknowledgement. He turned to Naruto. "Naruto, have you seen Sasuke? I've been looking for him." he asked.

Naruto huffed. "Why don't you ask his fangirls?" He mumbled underneath his breath.

Itachi raised an eyebrow. He knew that his little brother doesn't quite get along with Kushina's only child. He just knew it from the moment he laid his eyes on the two glaring at each other, but he knew that when they grow older, they're going to be best friends. It's just an Uchiha feeling.

"Hn… very well." Itachi responded before walking to the direction of a group of girls.

"Geez that guy needs a girlfriend…" Obito shakes his head.

Shisui sighed, "He's only eleven, Obito…" He said.

"I know, but he seriously needs to lay back! He's so uptight!" Obito crossed his arms and his stomach began to rumble. "Gosh! I'm hungry! Why don't we head to the Uchiha compound and have lunch? What do you say kids up for lunch at Itachi's house?" He offered to the three kids.

"I can't… Daddy says I have to be back for lunch…" Naruto mumbled.

"Sure!" Sora answered excitedly. "We can go for some lunch, right Hikari?" he asked to his sister.

"Yup! I'm hungry and tired from all that running!" Hikari answered.

Obito grinned. "Great! How about you take these two rascals back to the compound and I'll take Naruto to his dad?" He suggested and the younger Uchiha shrugged his shoulders.

"Sure, why not?" Shisui smiled. He easily picked Hikari up with one arms and rested her on his hip while he grabbed Sora's tiny hand. "Er… I do hope you kids won't mind getting stared at by many intimidating Uchihas." He laughed nervously.

"Uh… No sweat… We just met someone who's very creepy! He looks ooooold and he wears a robe, and—and we can't see his face! He's like a ghost! Wooooo~!" Hikari tried to imitate a ghost's boos, but failed because Shisui laughed.

"Whatever you say, Hikari," Shisui smiled. It was fun to talk to kids Sasuke's age, not that he didn't talk to any kids Sasuke's age. It's just that all the girls ever talked about are Sasuke. For once, he just wanted someone to talk childishly about everything and not about his little cousin. Sure he loved his cousin, but he wanted to talk about something else.

"Oh!" Sora suddenly exclaimed. "See you later Naruto! Let's play after lunch, okay?" He shouted to the top of his lungs.

"Okay!" Naruto screamed back.

Shisui grinned, "That's some loud scream you got there, Sora." He said.

Sora grinned sheepishly.

The black haired teen turned back to see his cousin still standing with Naruto at the playground, staring at him. "See you in five minutes, Obito! Don't be late! You know how Uncle Fugaku feels when someone's late!" he shouted before he Shunshin-ed out of the playground.

Naruto's jaw dropped to the ground. "Wow… Cool…" he said in awe.

Obito crossed his arms and tsk'ed. "Showoff…" he mumbled.


~0=X=0~

"So, Naruto? Did you make any friends today?" Kushina asked as she sets down a bowl of ramen in front of her son. She was worried when Naruto was a bit late, but soon relaxed when she saw Obito was with her son. Things were the usual. And now, the Namikazes were having a wonderful lunch.

Naruto slurped his noodles as he looked up to his mother. "Uh-huh! Two actually! They were really nice! But I didn't get a chance to know about her brother though… he seems nice!" He exclaimed happily as he began to slurp more noodles. "Too bad they're having lunch with the Uchihas…" he chewed on his noodles angrily.

Minato raised an eyebrow up, an amuse smirk on his lips, "'Her'? So your first friend is a girl? Is she cute?" he teased, wiggling his chopsticks around. Naruto literally chocked on his noodles. He quickly gurgled down his water and stared at his father in disbelief. "Oh! So she is cute! We have to pay the girl a visit Kushina! Let's head to the Uchiha compound after this. After all, she is Naruto's first cute friend." He winked playfully.

Kushina nodded in agreement. "What happen to Sakura?" she asked, teasingly.

"Mom! I will always like Sakura! Hikari is just… my best friend!" Naruto exclaimed with flustered red cheeks.

"Awwww! Even her name is cute! Hikari~!" Kushina sang as she twirled around.

"Trust me, mom… she might look cute, but… she's loud and—and uh… hyper!" Naruto argued, slamming his tiny hands to the table, the red blush never leaving his cheeks.

"Sounds like someone I know. So Naruto, who do you pink—I mean pick? Sakura or Hikari?" Minato rolled his eyes and it landed on Naruto, who complained with a loud 'hey'. Naruto blushed madly as he scratched the back do his head. Minato and Kushina smiled. "It seems like you're in denial, Naruto." He grinned.

"D-Dad! You perv!" Naruto pointed his finger accusingly at his own father.

Minato blinked.

Kushina balled up her hands.

Where on earth did Naruto learn that word?!

Only one answer,

Jiraya…


A/N: End of chapter! Time for some explanations!

Obito, Rin, Minato, and Kushina are alive! :D

Yes, Naruto is still the Jinchuriki (the nine tailed fox), the person who sealed Kurama wasn't Minato! It was someone else!

I don't know about the Akatsuki though… Do you want them to be the good guy? Or the bad guy? I let you decide ^^

Naruto, Sasuke, Hikari— 6 years old
Sora, Kairi, Namine— 7 years old
Riku— 8 years old
Shisui— 15 years old
Itachi— 11 years old
Obito— 17 years old

And yes, this took place a few weeks after they entered the Academy.

[EDIT]:
Yes, I did changed the plot and everything. The next chapter will still be day one. (the day when Sora and Hikari visited Konoha, all thanks to the mysterious old hooded figure) I wanted to let them know that there's another world out there besides Destiny Islands, so that when they both told Riku. There was another reason on why he wants to leave the islands with a raft. Ta da~! What do you guys think?

Namine is NOT a Nobody in thsi story!

Shunshin/ Shunshin no Jutsu: [English: Body Flicker Technique/ Ninja Teleport] is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed.

Will Sora and Hikari go home? Yes, yes they will. Kingdom Hearts events has to happen now right? ;D

Reviews are very appreciated! And please no flames!
