Obaa-Chan VS Uselessness

Obaa-Chan VS Uselessness

Sakura Haruno is and was a character who divided the Naruto Fandom. The most common argument against her was that she was useless. Now what one shall do if you are reborn as her? Our elderly MC for sure will do anything, do not be her!

Or:

An 85-year-old granny and Naruto Fan gets reborn into the Shinobi world as Sakura Haruno. Rejected canon and modeled herself after Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer.

Chapter 2: The Bell Test

“These little brats!”, I cursed out Sasuke and Naruto.

Do you want to know why?

We are currently doing the Bell Test with Kakashi and…and this BRATS won’t listen to a word I say!

So I’m pretty much running around, keeping an eye out for Kakashi, to find my two stupid teammates and make them LISTEN!

I should have known, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! Both boys were stubborn, yet I hoped they would consider my words.

Yesterday, before we all got home, I told them they should eat something for breakfast because Kakashi-Sensei was trolling us.

As expected Sasuke didn’t listen, but not even Naruto?!

So I was the only one who had eaten this morning.

The Bell Test pretty much played out like in canon, even if I tried to tell these two idiots that we needed to work together.

But nooooooo!

They had to prove they were better than the other and ignored my wise words. 

Since, sadly, I was the weakest of us all.

This sucks!

Even more so this stupid rivalry that Naruto and Sasuke have going on.

Can we not just all hold hands and be friends?

I will turn back old in no time with these two. 

These three if we count Kakashi-Sensei too.

He tried to put me into a Genjutsu, however, I knew what he had planned, since he did it with the original Sakura in canon, so I could dispel it fast.

At least, thanks to the perfect Chakra control I inherited from Sakura I could do this.

In all the other things I lacked seriously.

Sakura's body wasn’t strong, fast, flexible and endurance was a joke.

How should I be like Mitsuri Kanroji with all these weaknesses?

For the Breathing Style of Love, which was much like Rhythmic Dancing, I needed them.

I seriously had to step up my game or would be really…useless in this world.

That’s when I finally found Sasuke.

Buried to his head into the earth, thanks to Kakashi-Sensei’s Headhunter-Jutsu.

I crossed my arm and gave him an annoyed look.

“Are you done doing all alone Sasuke? Kakashi-Sensei is way out of our league, we need to work together! And before you say he has only two bells, Kakashi-Sensei intends to drive us apart and look how it is working!”

He sends me an annoyed look too.

“Look Sakura I don’t know why you have acted so strange since yesterday, but I will not take any changes here! I need to become a Genin! You wouldn’t understand!”

“Uchiha Sasuke, you are Rookie of the Year use your goddamn brain!”, I counter. “Did you ever heard of a team with a Jonin and two Genin? No! Because it’s always a Jonin with THREE Genin. Kakashi-Sensei wants us to work together, even if it doesn’t seem so. A ninja has to see underneath the underneath!”

Unlucky as we are the bell sounds.

The test is over.

I made a facepalm while Sasuke mumbled something about wasting his time talking.

“Hey, Mister I-Can-Do-All-Of-This-Alone? You want me to get you out of the hole or not.”

He doesn’t give me a verbal answer, yet I take what I get.

After a bit of fumbling I get Sasuke out and we walk in silence to the three logs where Kakashi-Sensei and a bonded Naruto wait.

Our sensei starts his spiel about how we should quite been Ninja, which of course angers Naruto.

Before it can escalate I start talking: “Kakashi-Sensei, I know we all are green behind our ears, but…I tried to work with my teammates here. The boys may not have understood the meaning of the test but I’m sure I will get them to.”

“Huh, what meaning?”, wonders Naruto, while Sasuke huffs.

“Sakura I watched you. You didn’t fall for my genjutsu and tried to work with your teammates.”, compliments me Kakashi-Sensei. “While you Sasuke and Naruto failed to see the real reason for this test, out of you three Sakura has the best chance of becoming a ninja.”

I just deadpan at Naruto’s shocked what and Sasuke's anger.

“Sakura, if you would be so kind…?”

I know what Kakashi-Sensei wants.

“Teamwork. This whole test was about teamwork.”, I began.

I explain how unlike it was from the beginning that one Genin could take out a Jonin, how the two bells are there to make us go against each other, how if we three worked together, and made a plan we could have gotten the two bells.

“Really good Sakura, your genius is showing. Sakura here showed how a Ninja should always see underneath the underneath, not always things are as they seem, which Sasuke and Naruto failed spectacularly. Because you see Sakura as weak, you didn’t hear her out. Physical yes, she is weaker than you, but mentally I would say she is years beyond you. Being a Ninja is not all about being strong and doing cool Jutsu, if you can’t use your mind you have already lost on the battlefield.”

My teammates look at me and Kakashi thoughtfully, while our Sensei walks up to the Memorial of the Third Ninja World War.

I let it play out like in canon and finally, it’s time for lunch.

I don’t waste time and put food into Naruto's mouth.

“Sakura, what are you doing?”, asks Sasuke. “Didn’t you listen to what Kakashi-Sensei said?”

“It’s again a test. How should we work as a team if one of us is hungry? Naruto would be a weakness Kakashi-Sensei would exploit.”, I answer, showing food down Naruto's throat, which he happily takes.

“Sakura, you are so smart!”, praise me Naruto between bites.

“Yes, yes, but seriously guys…we need to be a team. I will make you a deal if I’m wrong after we get the balls, I will go back to the Academy.”

From Sasuke, I get a frown, while Naruto looks shocked.

“You really would do this? For me and the teme.”

I nod.

“You two… you must become Genin, I see it in your eyes that it is so important to you…I don’t mind repeating the year if I’m wrong. So please accept this.”

Naruto says my name in aww, hopefully, it doesn’t make him crush on me harder and Sasuke gives me a respectful nod.

Then he also feeds Naruto.

Suddenly in a dramatic dust cloud with twirling winds, Kakashi-Sensei appears before us.

He growls, making my teammates surely shit their pants, till he gives us an eye smile and tells us we passed.

Then he says the famous words I love so much: “In the world of Ninja, those who broke the rules are called scum. But those who don’t take care of their friends are even worse than scum.”

Sign, oh Obito who did you become a villain? You were such an awesome good guy.

Yes, I know why he goes bananas, but still, why did Obito need to be the bad guy, he was always one of my favs.

After Kakashi declares us a team and how we will start doing missions tomorrow, he and Sasuke leave us.

I get my kunai out, freeing Naruto from his robes.

He thanks me, while I wave it away.

“What do you say Naruto? To celebrate Ichiraku Ramen?”

“You got it Sakura! Let’s go!”

Together we run to the Ramen Shop.

Well, it could have gone better, though at least Team 7 began.

So there is only one thing left to do.

“Hey Naruto, after our earned lunch, wanna train together, I have a feeling it will only get more difficult from here.”

“Oh? Sure, Sakura. Maybe you can help me to better understand what behind, behind things.”

Like a big sister, I ruffle his blond hair.

“Then also a trip to the library and then we train.”

A groan escapes Naruto.

“Must we waste our time with stupid books?”

“These stupid books helped me to get this smart, also, don’t complain.”

“If you say so Sakura.”

“Also I need to learn the Kagebushin from you future Hokage that is an awesome Jutsu.”

Naruto chuckles proudly and I hit him friendly on the shoulder.

I have a plan for how to get me and Naruto stronger, Sasuke I will get next time, but for now we deserve to eat some yummy Ichiraku Ramen.

All in all a good day!

Nothing is True

… Everything is permitted.

What is real?

What is not?

Is she just turning crazy or are other powers at work?

One thing is clear Kohana will get to the bottom of this and maybe change the whole Ninja-World at the same time.

S.I. Third Shinobi World War 

!!!!PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!

Chapter 6: Hidden Blade

Kizashi was eating with gusto one of the fresh peaches their Kaa-Chan had bought today at the market, while he watched how his little sister Kohana turned their basement upside down.

“Again, explain to me what you are searching for, Imoto-Chan.”, he asked amused.

His little sister looked really funny full of cobwebs and dust.

“A family heirloom.”, was her short answer, opening another chest.

“What kind of family heirloom?”

“A weapon.”

“A weapon, interesting.”, the pink-haired young man bit into his peach. “What kind of weapon?”

Kohana stopped, and a little frown formed on her face.

“A...Hidden Blade.”

The older boy couldn’t help but snort.

“What by Kami is a Hidden Blade?”

 “I will know when I see it.”, she barked at him, closing the chest and opening the next one.

Kizashi raised an eyebrow. Someone was grumpy.

“Imoto-Chan, what gave you even the idea that we have something like that?”

She paused and sent him a look.

“Can’t you annoy anyone else?”

“No, I wanna annoy you.”, he grinned cheeky, which made Kohana huff well annoyed.

She rather wished her brother be far away.

This was something important, she didn’t need his stupid commentary.

A few weeks had passed since she had become a Genin.

To her utter disappointment, the Ninja Life wasn't as glamorous as she imaged.

Besides training with Minato-Sensei and her teammates, which was awesome, the daily D-Rank Missions were absolutely horrible!

Painting fences, ripping out weed, babysitting, cleaning the Inuzuka kennels!

These were glorified chores, nothing more!

Obito and her were ready to burst, Rin tried to keep them calm and Kakashi seemed to have a sick satisfaction seeing them nearly lose it.

But the worst was the damn Tora-Mission!

If they had to catch that hellcat one more time, Kohana would lose it, she swore!

The only thing good was, like she said, the training Minato-Sensei made them go through.

Already Kohana felt much stronger. Obito and Rin also made great progress, Rin even started to learn medical jutsu. Sure none of them were on Kakashi-Level, but one had to celebrate the little victories in life.

Anyway, besides this, Kohana had found more diaries of Haruno Sakuya, her mysterious world-jumping ancestor and had learned quite a bit more about the Assassin Way of Life.

It was still difficult to wrap her head around that Sakuya had been in another world an assassin named Carina Auditore, coming from a long line of assassins, however with any more pages she read, Kohana believed it more.

There was also the fact, that she still got visions.

It was like she relived Carina/Sakuya's life.

Carina Auditore had lived in such a modern world, full of strange devices, yet was part of an order that protected humankind for centuries.

Haruno Sakuya was a weak Miko who had trained hard to become a semi-passable Ninja, during the Warring States Era and had been Uchiha Madara’s lover.

What the soul who had inhabited these two women had in common was their dedication to the assassin order.

Sakuya had tried and succeeded in recreating the Assassin Brotherhood's most-priced weapon.

The symbol of the Brotherhood you could say.

The Hidden Blade.

On the page, Kohana had read yesterday night, was written that Sakuya had placed her Hidden Blade in a chest, in the hope someone in the Haruno Clan would in the future pick it up again.

Kohana was determined to be this one.

Reading all these stories about being an assassin and living them in her vision...Kohana felt closer to being an assassin, than a ninja.

Strangely it fit her like a clove.

The assassination techniques Sakuya had written down in her dairies, the green-haired girl learned them fast.

It was like her body already knew them, remembered them.

This gave her an edge against other ninjas.

She fought in a way, that was not seen since Sakuya, so her teammates had trouble to counter it. Even Kakashi had struggled in the beginning, but the Hatake wasn’t a protege for nothing. He was the only one who could give her a fight.

However, Kohana missed the Hidden Blade.

She already lived out the Credo of the Assassin Brotherhood, yet without Hidden Blade she couldn’t call herself assassin.

Kunai could only work so much. They didn’t feel right when she tried out her assassination techniques.

No, she needed Sakuya Hidden Blade.

If she only could find it in one of these chests.

And if only her stupid older brother would leave her alone!

Kohana continued to rummage through the chests, hoping to find the Hidden Blade that her ancestor had left for her.

She couldn't shake off the feeling that it was somewhere in their basement, hidden away from prying eyes.

As she opened another chest, she saw a glint of metal and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be?

Carefully lifting out the object, she gasped in awe as she held the Hidden Blade in her hands.

It was bigger than she imagined built in an arm-guard with intricate designs.

She recognized the Assassin's Brotherhood Symbol, which Sakuya had drawn in her dairy’s on it.

The green-haired girl felt a surge of excitement course through her veins as she examined it closely. 

This was it!

The prized possession of the Assassin Brotherhood.

Kizashi watched as his little sister's face lit up with joy and couldn't help but wonder what was so special about this strange weapon.

For sure he never saw anything like that, for what was this thing good for?

Kohana felt Kizashi's eyes on her but ignored it and put the arm guard on her right arm.

She tried to make the Blade flip out like she had read in the diary, but sadly nothing happened.

“What?!”, she exclaimed surprised.

“Seems like your new toy is broken.”, guessed her brother. “You need to fix it.”

“Just awesome!”, grumbled Kohana. “Of course, it’s broken, I have to find the schematics for it now.”

“And a smith who understands this strange weapon.”, reminds her brother gleefully.

For that, Kohana trowed an old pillow in his face.

Her brother just let himself get hit.

Not like the pillow could hurt him.

Meanwhile, Kohana sighed in frustration.

Finding a smith who could fix the Hidden Blade was going to be a challenge. She didn't know anyone in the village who had experience with such an intricate weapon. However, she wasn't going to give up that easily.

She was determined to make it work, no matter what it took.

As she continued to search through the chests, her mind raced with possibilities of where she could find a smith.

Perhaps she could ask Minato-Sensei for help.

Kizashi watched as his sister's determination grew stronger and couldn't help but feel proud of her. He may not understand the importance of the Hidden Blade, yet he knew how much it meant to Kohana.

"Imoto-Chan," he said softly, "I'll help you find a smith. We'll figure this out together."

Surprised Kohana looked at him and smiled gratefully.

“Thanks Nii-Chan.”

***

Well, Kohana had found the schematics but every smith Kizashi and her visit were totally clueless.

Just awesome.

“This is the only one remaining.”, she groaned at Kizashi.

The smith stall belonged to Aito Takamaru. He was known in Konoha for his excellent weapons, the only problem was that he was really young.

It seemed impossible that he would understand the Hidden Blade.

Kizashi patted her head.

“Now, now, Ko-Chan, let’s ask and see. If I remember right the Aito’s been a smith family since the Warring States Era. If he doesn’t can help, maybe his father or grandfather.”

Kohana reluctantly followed Kizashi to Aito Takamaru's stall.

As they approached, she noticed that the young man was busy working on a Katana. He looked up as they approached and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello there! How can I help you today?"

Kizashi stepped forward and explained their dilemma to Aito-San.

The young smith listened carefully and nodded thoughtfully as he examined the Hidden Blade.

"This is quite an interesting piece," he said, "I've never seen anything like it before."

Kohana felt her heart sink. She had been hoping that Aito-San would be able to fix it, but now it seemed like all hope was lost.

However, much to her surprise, Aito-San continued speaking.

"But I think I might be able to figure it out," he said with a grin. "My grandfather told me often the story of how he made a special blade for a Miko named Haruno Sakuya. I bet it's this one, right?”

“Yeah, it is. Haruno Sakuya is our ancestor.”, told Kohana with hope in her heart.

Aito-San nodded.

“Good thing you have the schematics too. I think with what my grandfather told me and these, I will be successful in repairing the Hidden Blade.”

Kohana couldn't believe her ears.

Was this really happening? Could Aito-San really fix the Hidden Blade?

She watched in amazement as the young smith got to work, meticulously examining each part of the arm guard and studying the schematics that Kohana had brought with her.

For hours he worked on the blade.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Aito-San stood up and held out the Hidden Blade to Kohana.

"It's done," he said with a smile.

The glass-wearing girl took the arm-guard from him and examined it closely.

Sure enough, when she flicked her wrist just right, the blade sprang out from its hiding place with a satisfying snap.

"Thank you so much!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I don't know what I would have done without your help."

Aito-San just smiled modestly in response.

"It was my pleasure.”

As Kohana left the stall with Kizashi by her side, she couldn't help but feel grateful for this new ally that she had found in Aito Takamaru.

With his help, she knew that nothing could stand in her way!

***

“Alright, kids, who want to spar today first?”, asked Minato-Sensei the next day his four Genin.

After a good morning workout, it was now time for it.

Eagerly Kohana raised her hand.

“I would like to, Minato-Sensei.”

She so wanted to try out her Hidden Blade!

“Good, Kakashi-Kun, are up to spar with Kohana-Chan?”

The Hatake just gave a nod.

“Yeah, kick his ass, Kohana-Chan!”, rooted Obito for her, which made the girl blush a little.

Sweet Rin gave them both a smile: “Do your best Kohana-Chan and Kakashi-Kun.”

“Aww, Rin-Chan, why do have to be on his side too?”

She just giggled.

Kakashi and Kohana stood before each other, waiting for Minato-Sensei to go.

Minato-Sensei gave the signal and Kohana immediately went on the offensive, her Hidden Blade at the ready.

Kakashi was quick to dodge her attacks, yet he couldn't help but be impressed by her skill with the strange weapon.

She moved with a grace and fluidity that he had never seen before.

As they continued to spar, Kohana began to incorporate more of Sakuya's assassination techniques into her fighting style.

Her movements became even more unpredictable, making it difficult for Kakashi to keep up.

Obito was cheering loudly for her and even Rin clapped her hands.

“Yes you rock, Kohana-Chan!”, shouted Obito.

However, just as Kohana thought she had the upper hand, Kakashi suddenly disappeared from view. 

She looked around frantically, trying to find him, yet he was nowhere in sight.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her back and realized too late that Kakashi attacked one of the weak spots of her body.

She fell to the ground with a thud, feeling defeated.

And she had been doing so well!

Kakashi walked over to her with an outstretched hand and helped her up.

"Good job," he said calmly.

The green-haired girl smiled back at him, feeling proud of herself for holding her own against one of Konoha's most talented ninjas.

They made the Seal of Reconciliation.

“Good spar you two.”, congratulated them Minato-Sensei. “Kohana you really improved and this new weapon of yours is amazing. Kakashi as always impressive. Now Obito and Rin you spar and the winner of that spar goes against Kakashi.”

Obito won the spar against Rin and so the two boys fought against each other.

Of course, Kakashi won, but Obito had given him a good fight too.

Then Minato-Sensei told Kohana and Rin that they should spar against each other.

Ready to spar, the two females faced each other.

Kohana flipped her Hidden Blade in and out, eager to test it out once again.

They circled each other warily, both waiting for the other to make the first move.

Finally, Rin lunged forward, aiming a punch at Kohana's face.

The green-haired girl easily dodged it and countered with a swift kick to Rin's stomach.  She stumbled back, but quickly regained her footing and launched another attack.

The two girls traded blows back and forth, neither one gaining the upper hand for long. Kohana was impressed by Rin's speed and agility, but she knew that she had something that Rin didn't - the Hidden Blade.

As they continued to spar, Kohana began to incorporate Sakuya's assassination techniques into her fighting style once again.

She moved in quick bursts of speed, striking at Rin from unexpected angles with her weapon. The brunette struggled to keep up with her movements, then there was finally an opening.

With elegance, Kohana flipped herself over Rin, pierced her Hidden Blade into Rin's shirt and could flick her opponent like this away from her.

Rin fell down and Kohana was over her, Hidden Blade at her pulse.

“Kohana, wins!”, called Minato-Sensei over.

Kohana was panting  as she lowered her weapon and smiled at Rin: “You did great!”

Her best friend smiled back at her: “So did you! That Hidden Blade is amazing.”

Kohana felt a surge of pride as she looked down at the arm-guard: “Thanks! Aito-San helped me repair it.”

The green-haired girl helped her brunette friend up and they made the Seal of Reconciliation.

Minato-Sensei came over to them: “I'm really impressed with your progress lately, Kohana-Chan.”

“Thank you Sensei,” replied Kohana gratefully. “I couldn't have done it without your training.”

“Now, who is ready for a D-Rank Mission?”

Three groans could be heard.

***

After the  D-Rank mission, they had to walk the Inuzuka Ninken, Minato-Sensei called it a day.

Kakashi left with a lazy wave, while Rin said she had to help her parents in their shop.

That left Obito and Kohana.

Alone.

If she hadn’t taken this chance to spend some time with her crush, Kohana would never have progressed in their relationship.

“Hey, do you want to hang out for a bit?”, she asked him.

Obito's face lit up with excitement: “Sure! What do you want to do?”

Kohana thought for a moment before replying: “How about we go get some ice cream at the new shop that just opened up?”

“Sounds great!”

As they walked towards the ice cream shop, Kohana couldn't help but feel nervous.

This was the first time that she had hung out alone with Obito since becoming a Genin. She wasn't sure what to say or how to act around him.

Thankfully, Obito seemed oblivious to her nervousness and was busy chatting away about his latest manga. Kohana listened intently, she read the series too.

That was something they had in common.

They discussed plot points and why this character sucked and another was just amazing as they arrived at the ice cream shop.

Kohana ordered a chocolate milkshake while Obito got a strawberry sundae.

They sat down at one of the tables outside and enjoyed their treats in comfortable silence.

After finishing their desserts, they decided to take a walk around the village. As they strolled through the streets, Obito and her talked about the sparring matches today.

The Uchiha was giddy that she gave Kakashi a run for his money, even if she lost in the end.

“Maybe that will show stupid Bakashi, that we all can be amazing ninjas!”, he told her.

“You really hate Hatake-San, mmh?”

“Hate is a strong word. I mean he goes on my nerves, but I don’t hate him. I just hate his I’m-better-then-anyone-spiel he has going on!”

With that Obito frustrated kicked a stone away.

The Haruno bit her lip. She had a feeling, no she was sure that Obito hated also Kakashi because Rin was in love with the protege.

It was so sad, Kohana liked Obito, Obito liked Rin, Rin liked Kakashi and Kakashi didn’t seem to have a crush on anyone.

No one was a winner here.

Only if someone got new feelings for another and they liked them back.

How Kohana wished she could make Obito fall in love with her, but sadly Obito was too fixed on Rin.

What could she do to impress him so that he saw her finally?

Kicking Kakashi's ass maybe?

Obito seemed to like it when Kohana gave Kakashi a challenge, but maybe anyone who gave his rival a challenge was cool in the Uchiha's eyes.

As they continued their walk, Kohana couldn't help but feel a bit down.

She had hoped that this outing would bring her and Obito closer together, however, if your name wasn’t Rin Nohara you weren’t even a girl in Obito's eyes.

Sighed inwardly she tried to push those thoughts aside.

Maybe she could just be happy with being friends with Obito for now.

However as they turned a corner, something caught her eye.

It was a small flower shop that she had never noticed before.

Curious, she tugged on Obito's sleeve and pointed at the shop.

"Hey, do you want to take a look in there?"

Obito looked sceptical at first, but then shrugged his shoulders: "Why not?"

As they entered the shop, Kohana was immediately hit by the sweet scent of flowers.

The walls were lined with vases of all different colours and shapes, each one filled with beautiful blossoms.

Kohana felt herself relaxing as she took in the tranquil atmosphere of the shop.

Even Obito seemed to be enjoying himself as he examined some of the more exotic blooms.

Suddenly, Kohana spotted a small pot of delicate blue flowers tucked away in a corner of the shop.

Forget-me-nots.

Her Kaa-Chan had taught her the Flower Langue, if she remembered right Forget-me-not meant True love.

She gulped.

Well if she couldn’t say with words what she felt, maybe the flower would do.

Kohana walked over to the pot of Forget-me-not’s and picked one.

Turning to Obito, who was still examining the other flowers, she said softly: "Hey, Obito. Do you know what these flowers mean?"

Obito shook his head: "No, what do they mean?"

Kohana took a deep breath before answering: "They mean true love."

She handed him the flower and looked into his beautiful black eyes.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Then Obito smiled at her: "I didn't know that."

The girl felt her heart swell with hope.

Maybe this was a sign that Obito would finally see her as more than just a friend.

The hope was crushed not a second later as the boy curiously pointed at yellow flowers.

“What do they mean?”

Kohana felt like crying.

“These are Primroses...they mean Desperate.”

That had to be a cruel joke of faith!

Obito pouted and tucked the Forget-me-no behind his ear.

“Aww, I like the Forget-me-no more. Hey, do you think I should buy some for Rin?”

The girl felt a pang of disappointment at Obito's suggestion.

Of course, he would want to give the Forget-me-nots to Rin, the girl he had a crush on. She forced a smile and nodded her head, trying to hide her true feelings.

"Sure, that's a great idea."

As they left the flower shop, Kohana couldn't help but feel like she was stuck in a never-ending cycle of unrequited love.

But she refused to give up hope.

Maybe one day Obito would see her as more than just a friend.

Until then, she would continue to cherish their friendship and hold onto the small moments like this one where she felt like maybe, just maybe, there was something more between them.

Prologue

Chapter 2: Training

On a night shooting stars cross over Konohagakure the life of 12-year-old Hinata changes forever. A white wolf named Shiranui searched for her to end the reign of the “Planet Eaters” as she calls the enemy. The young Hyuuga awakens power beyond her imagination. But will it be enough to end the millennia-old conflict?

OP!Hinata

Goddess!Hinata   

Chapter 2: Training

“Why did you lead me here, Shiranui-San?”, asked Hinata curious.

The school day was over and her wolf companion had told Hinata they had plans.

What plans she wouldn’t tell, till Hinata walked them to one of the abandoned training areas of the village.

The place was overgrown with plant life. 

It was clear that no one had used it in years.

The brooch shimmered and turned into Shiranui's floating anthropomorphic wolf form.

“Is it safe to show you like that Shiranui-San?”, wondered the Hyuuga Heiress, carefully looking around.

It wouldn’t surely be good if someone saw Shiranui. She was too alien, too strange. 

The people in Konnoha would not accept her.

“Don’t worry Hinata-Chan.”, reassured Shiranui. She made a fast sequence of hand signs and a dome of Chakra built around the training ground. “This place is one abandoned and thanks to my Jutsu we are safe from prying eyes.”

 “Oh alright.”

“And what we are doing here well…”, the Hoshi-Kami made a dramatic pause for effect before she told Hinata: “It’s time to start your training! What you learn at the Academy and at home is quite frack not enough. Maybe for a normal person, it is enough, but you aren’t. We need you to get in top shape to handle your godly powers.”

Dejected Hinata looked at the ground.

Even after a whole week with her, Shiranui was still so sure she was the Messiah.

Did she not see how weak in the Juken she was? Had she not heard how her father had dismissed her as a failure.

Did she not comprehend that even if she was a Clan Child people like Sakura Haruno were better in Chakra control than her?

The blue-haired girl had been so sure that Shiranui would see that Hinata was to wrong choice, yet it didn’t happen.

“Now Hinata-Chan, what is it with this gloom?”, tutted the wolf, rubbing in comfort their cheeks together. “You don’t see or feel it, but your body is already changing. Your Chakra is. Why did you think your Chakra Control got so bad all of a sudden?”

“Because I’m a failure…”

A growl came out of Shiranui. “I will eat your father's heart for breakfast if he doesn’t start to treat you with respect!”

“N-No, please don’t.”

“You are way too kind Hinata-Chan. On one hand, it’s a wonderful trait on the other some people don't deserve it.”

The Hyuuga didn’t know how to answer that. But Shiranui didn’t need an answer, she just petted her cheek.

“Where was I…Ah yes, your Training. From this day forward I will train you to become the goddess, the savoir you are meant to be…So…to start I want you to run 50 leaps around the Training Ground!”

Hinata wasn’t a person to deny training, even if she didn’t believe she was a goddess, more training was always good.

So she started to run.

The training was brutal.

50 leaps around the training ground.

Then 50 leaps, while using the leaf chakra control exercise.

And then 50 leaps, leaf chakra exercise and Shiranui throwing Shurikens and Kunai at her.

If she lost the leaf, the round started anew.

After that Hinata lay like a starfish on the ground. Her lungs were on fire and she felt how close to Chakra's exhaustion she was.

But Shiranui was not done with her.

Oh no.

50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups and 50 squats.

Then again while doing all this she needed to keep the leaf on her head.

Sadly this was only the first day of her hellish Training. The Hoshi-Kami pushed for more any day.

For the first time in her life, Hinata wanted to die.

Death would be a mercy to this!

Everything hurt! Everything!

Three months went by and Hinata couldn't believe it but…she had gotten stronger, also she could control her Chakra again.

She was faster and swifter.

More flexible and resistant.

Her senses became sharper.

Shiranui had a smug look on her face as Hinata noted all the changes in herself.

Then came the day Shiranui tested her Chakra Nature.

Shocking would have been an understatement.

The paper split into five parts, one got wet, one caught fire, one turned to dust and crumbled up.

She had all five Chakra Nature.

“I told you.”, sing-songed Shiranui. “You are the one!”

Now besides the “normal” training, elemental manipulation was also practised.

For that, her wolf friend taught her the Kagebushin-No-Jutsu.

Without a problem, Hinata made on the first try 100.

“Look what power lies in you!”, told her Shiranui proud.

The Hyuga Heiress and her clones just looked dumbfounded at each other.

So now with Kagebushin on her side, Hinata could train even harder and faster, since what her clones learned, she learned to.

Another three months passed and it was now half a year ago that she met Shiranui.

When Hinata looked into the mirror, she didn’t see a meek girl, she saw a shinobi.

Things had changed also at home.

Thanks to Shiranui's training her Juken was so good, that she hadn’t a problem defeating Hanabi. 

Her father had been surprised. Even more, after she defeated him.

“You may have even surpassed Neji, daughter.”, said her father with a proud glint in his eyes. “You are truly the heiress of the Hyuuga Clan.”

In school, she was also the top kunoichi. No one stood a chance against her. Her Shurikenjutsu hit always bullseye and in the battles, she always won.

This should make her happy, but Hinata felt nothing. 

She still didn't believe she was the Messiah, yet couldn’t deny her extreme progress.

She was something different.

Whether it was good or not would show the future.

The next six months Shiranui made her training even harder.

It was unbelievable that it could get harder, yet her Hoshi-Kami friend managed again that Hinata wanted to die.

Any day she was brought to her limits, only to surpass them.

It seemed Hinata didn’t have a limit, she only grew stronger and stronger.

And then a whole year had passed.

It was time to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

Now it would show if this hellish year would pay off in the real world.

Goddess of the Sun, Queen of the Stars

On a night shooting stars cross over Konohagakure the life of 12-year-old Hinata changes forever. A white wolf named Shiranui searched for her to end the reign of the “Planet Eaters” as she calls the enemy. The young Hyuuga awakens power beyond her imagination. But will it be enough to end the millennia-old conflict?

OP!Hinata

Goddess!Hinata   

Chapter 4: Teamwork

 Hinata's emotions were running high as she found herself alone in the classroom with Naruto and Sasuke. 

"Nervous" was an understatement to describe how she felt at that moment.

On one hand, there was her long-time crush, Naruto, who made her heart skip a beat every time he was near.

On the other hand, there was the intimidating Uchiha Sasuke, whose presence alone commanded respect and attention.

But it wasn't just their personas that had Hinata on edge.

Recently, she had learned thanks to Shiranui's story, how Naruto was the rebirth of Asura while Sasuke was the rebirth of Indra - the two sons of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

This knowledge added a whole new layer of complexity to her feelings towards them.

These were not just any two males to Hinata - they were the same two males she had seen in her first vision of the past.

The significance of this realization wasn't lost on her and only added to her already heightened emotions.

As Hinata sat there with Naruto and Sasuke, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by all that was happening around her. 

“He is late!”, growled Naruto at this moment, looking out the door for their Sensei. “Why is the teacher for our group 7 the only one late? All the other groups went somewhere with their sensei and Iruka-Sensei went home. ”

The Hyuuga saw how Sasuke couldn't care less about Naruto's anger, while she feared that her beloved would explode if somebody didn’t calm him down.

And that somebody had to be her it seemed.

She gulped down and prayed to Kami-Sama that she wouldn't make a fool out of herself.

“N-Naruto-Kun...”, she stutter. What a great start! Hinata was pathetic, yet she tried to go one as she saw she got Naruto's attention. “Maybe o-our S-Sensei had to do something important and that’s why he is late?”

“Whatever is his problem, I will pay him back!”, proclaimed the Uzumaki.

Even Sasuke watched how Naruto prepared an eraser prank for their Sensei.

“N-Naruto-Kun, that’s not a good idea!”, told him Hinata worried.

They would make this a terrible impression on their Jonin Sensei, she was sure.

Meanwhile, Shiranui in the brooch was all for Naruto pranking her Hinata-Chan future teacher.

If the man or woman didn’t even think it was necessary to be punctually to a meeting, the she-wolf didn’t want to know how he would try her girl.

“It’s his fault for being late.”, told Naruto the Hyuuga Heiress. “Calm down, Hinata, I know what I do, I’m not for anything the prank master of Konoha!”

Finally, even the Uchiha had something to say: “You mean being the biggest idiot in the village.”

“What did you call me, teme?!”

“A Jounin isn’t going to fall for a plain old booby trap like that.”

It was like the universe wanted to prove Sasuke wrong since a man in the typical attire of the Jonin of Konohagakure stepped into the classroom and the eraser hit him on the head.

The Uzumaki laughed and celebrated that he got the silver-haired men, Hinata was just dumbfounded, Shiranui cracked up and Sasuke was just disappointed.

And this man called himself a Jonin?

How embarrassing.

Years of etiquette classes kicked in and Hinata bowed down in an apology before their sensei.

“Please forgive us, Sensei. We didn’t mean any harm.”

Her apology wasn’t registered since the Jonin just said: “How should I say this? My first impression of you guys is…I hate you.”

Above the three genin formed a dark cloud of depression. Shiranui just facepalmed. What kind of Jonin did they give her little godling?!

The Jonin told them to follow him to the rooftop, where he leaned against the railing, while the three Genin sat down on the ground.

“Let’s see.”, he mussed. “Why don’t you introduce yourselves?”

Sasuke didn’t say anything, and Hinata didn’t know where to start, only Naruto asked: “Why don’t you introduce yourself first sensei? And show us how it's done?”

“Me? I’m Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…I have a few hobbies.”

Is he for real? He only told the kids his name!, thought Shiranui angry, while the three Genin just stared at him in disbelief.

“That’s it? He only told us his name.”, whispered Naruto to his teammates.

The shy dark blue-haired girl gave a tiny nod in agreement.

“If you can do it better, then why don’t you try?”, asked Kakashi-Sensei in a tone that Shiranui noted sounded like the guy wanted to be anywhere but here.

A growl left the she-wolf lips. This man was irritating!

“I’m Uzumaki Naruto.”, began the blond-haired boy, fiddling with his headband. “I like cup ramen. But I like the ramen at Ichiraku that Iruka-Sensei bought for me even more. I hate the three minutes that I have to wait after I put the hot water. My hobby is to eat and compare cup ramen! And my dream is to become greater than the Hokages. I’m going to make all the villagers recognise my existence.”

 Full of admiration Hinata looked at her crush. You will be a wonderful Hokage one day, Naruto-Kun. I just know it.

 Then it was her turn.

Oh boy.

Nervously the girl played with her kimono sleeve.

“I’m Hyuuga Hinata. I like sweet red bean soup and cinnamon rolls. My hobbies are pressing flowers and training. I hate some of my clan's traditions and people who just hate others without a reason. As for my dream…I want to unite the Hyuuga Clan…and have a family myself one day.”

Here her eyes wandered for a second to Naruto, not that he noticed it since he wondered what she meant with her clan and what she hated about it and uniting it. The boy didn’t get it.

There is someone who likes the dobe in THAT way? Huh…

Oh, my little Hinata-Chan you are destined for more than such things, but we will of course make them true too.

At least she isn’t a fangirl and has honourable reasons. That little crush on Naruto won’t hinder her.

Now it was the Uchiha’s turn.

“My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things that I hate, and there aren’t a lot of things that I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream. The revival of my clan, and killing a certain man.”

 Hinata heart got out to Sasuke. Everyone from a clan knew what happened to the Uchiha Clan, making her teammate the last loyal member.

 Now that the inductions were done, Kakashi-Sensei revealed to his Genin, how they technically weren’t ninjas right now.

They needed to do a last test with him.

A survival one.

Shiranui noted how with glee he told them that 66,6% failed and got sent back to the academy.

This freaked of course the kids out.

With one last tip to not eat any breakfast Kakashi left them.

 If I ever get the chance I will beat his ass! Spooking my poor Hinata-Chan like that!

At precisely 5 p.m. the following day, the Genin of Team 7 convened at training ground 3.

Naruto appeared to be barely conscious, while Sasuke seemed his usual self.

Hinata herself was slightly fatigued after adhering to her Hoshi-Kami companion's advice and retiring early for the night.

Furthermore, she had partaken in breakfast given Shiranui's assertion that Kakashi-Sensei was merely playing games with them - a point that seemed lost on Naruto and Sasuke.

In light of this, Hinata had prepared Bento Boxes for her teammates; should she inform them?

Nervous she gulped, before she told them: “I...I made Bento’s...for you...”

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, surprised. "Bento boxes?" Naruto asked, scratching his head. "For what, Kakashi-Sensei said we shouldn’t eat breakfast?"

 Hinata smiled shyly. "He said we shouldn’t eat, not that we can’t.", she explained. "It seems unlike that before survival training you can’t eat, you need all the energy for it."

“Huh, I guess that makes sense...”, mumbles Naruto, rubbing his neck.

The shy girl holds out a Bento Box to him and Naruto eagerly opens his box to reveal an array of colorful food items inside.

He didn’t waste any time and dig in.

Sasuke, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment before accepting his Bento Box.

"Thanks," he muttered, not meeting her eyes.

Hinata couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at his lack of enthusiasm. She had put a lot of effort into making sure each box was tailored to their tastes.

 “Wow, Hinata! This food is incredible!”, praised Naruto, which made her of course blush. “And you made this yourself?!”

As they continued eating, Hinata couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction seeing her teammates enjoying her cooking. She had always been shy and struggled to express herself, but cooking had become a way for her to show her care and appreciation for others.

 After finishing their meal, Naruto patted his full stomach and grinned at Hinata. "Thanks again for the food! You should cook for us more often!"

Sasuke remained quiet, but Hinata noticed a small smile on his face as he packed away the empty Bento Box. Maybe it wasn't much, but she was glad that she could bring some joy to their test today.

Feeling emboldened by their positive reactions, Hinata decided to make it a tradition to prepare Bento Boxes for their missions, if they managed to pass Kakashi-Sensei test.

It may seem like a small gesture, but she hoped it would bring them closer together as a team and show them all that even during difficult challenges, there's always room for kindness and warmth.

Shiranui in her brooch was proud of her little godling to come out of her shell and interact with her teammates. If Hinata wanted to become a fully realized goddess the help of these two special boys was important.

 After that, the three Genins waited for their Sensei.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited some more.

The sun was shining down on them bright and warm when Kakashi-Sensei FINALLY arrived.

“Good morning my cute little Genins!”, greeted them Kakashi with an eye smile.

“YOU ARE LATE!”; shouted Naruto, while Sasuke and Hinata looked annoyed at their Sensei.

“A black cat crossed my path, so...”

The unimpressed stare of the kids made Kakashi realise that she should just go on with the test.

He took out a clock and put it on a stump.

“The alarm is set at 12 p.m. Today's topic is to get one of these two bells from me.”, he explained to his Genin. “Whoever can’t get one, doesn’t get lunch.”

The man pointed then a three lone wood poles, continuing that the failure would be tied up there, while he ate before them.

“Kakashi-Sensei, why are there only two bells if we are three?”, asked Hinata worried.

This didn’t sit with her right.

And her feeling was right as their Sensei stated that one of them would be sent back to the academy for sure this way.

He told them to come with the intent to kill him if they wanted a bell or all would be sent back.

Hinata felt a shiver run down her spine at his words. This was serious business.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at the thought of being sent back to the academy.

She knew she wasn't as strong as Naruto or Sasuke, Shiranui would probably remind her how much she had grown over the last months, but she was determined to do her best.

Naruto seemed undaunted by the challenge, while Sasuke looked focused and determined. Hinata took a deep breath and tried to steady her nerves. She had trained hard for this moment, and she wasn't going to let her teammates down.

“Hehe, you couldn’t even dodge an eraser and you want us to attack you with shuriken?”, laughed Naruto heartily.

From Kakashi-Sensei just came that the one with the lowest score shouldn’t be taken seriously, which of course angered Naruto and he attacked him with a Kunai.

In the blink of an eye, Kakashi-Sensei had blocked Naruto's attack and turned him so that his own Kunai was on his neck.

No for the first time, the kids saw the true power of a Jonin.

Sasuke was impressed, Hinata worried more and Naruto was just dumbfounded.

“Ready, start!”, called Kakashi-Sensei.

All three Genin jumped away to hide.

Naruto quickly climbed up a tree, while Sasuke disappeared into the bushes. Hinata found a nearby rock to take cover behind. She tried to calm her breathing and focus on her surroundings, listening for any sound or movement that could give away Kakashi-Sensei's location.

Something nagged on Hinata's thoughts.

She never heard of a Team of a Jonin with two Genin, it was always a Jonin and THREE Genin.

So...what does it mean?

The answer came to her suddenly like a strike of lighting.

This test...it put them from the beginning against each other. They saw how strong Kakashi-Sensei was, a Genin alone couldn’t take him out and then only two bells...and then remembering how the ninja squads in Konoha operated...

The Hyuuga heiress was sure that this was a ruse. They should fight against each other when the true scope was to work TOGETHER to get the bells!

She needed to find Naruto and Sasuke before they attacked Kakashi-Sensei.

So she activated her Byakugan.

Hinata scanned the area with her Byakugan, trying to locate her teammates. She could see Naruto perched on a tree and Sasuke hiding in the bushes, but she couldn't detect any movement from Kakashi-Sensei.

She decided to go for Naruto first.

Quietly she climbed up the tree and stopped him before he could charge their Sensei.

“Naruto-Kun, don’t!”, she whispered sharply.

“Huh, Hinata, what’s wrong? I can take Sensei just fine!”, he proclaimed.

“Naruto-Kun, we need to work together.”

“Oh sure, I rather be with you in a team than with the stupid teme.”

The girl tried her best not to swoon at Naruto's words, it was hard, but she managed.

“No, Naruto-Kun this whole test is a trap. Kakashi-Sensei wants us to fight against each other, when we should be working all together to get the two bells. Never in Konoha history, there was a team with a Jonin with only two Genin!”

Naruto looked at Hinata with surprise and confusion. "What do you mean, Hinata? We're supposed to work together to get the bells, right?" he asked.

Hinata shook her head. "No, Naruto-kun. This is a test of our teamwork, not just our abilities. We need to use our strengths to complement each other and come up with a plan to get the bells together," she explained.

 Naruto scratched his head in thought before nodding in agreement. "Okay, I get it now. So what's the plan?"

“We need to get to Sasuke-San.”

“Do we?”

“Please Naruto-Kun.”

Signing Naruto followed Hinata to where Sasuke was still hiding.

Hinata and Naruto found Sasuke in a nearby bush, looking just as determined as ever. Hinata quickly explained her theory to the Uchiha, who listened intently before nodding in agreement. "You're right," he said. "If we work together, we can get those bells."

 The three Genin huddled together, brainstorming ideas and strategies for how to approach the test. They knew they had to be smart and efficient if they wanted to succeed. Naruto suggested using his clones to distract Kakashi-Sensei while Hinata and Sasuke went for the bells, but Sasuke pointed out that it was too risky - Kakashi-Sensei could easily see through such a simple tactic.

 After much discussion, they finally came up with a plan that they all agreed on. It involved using Hinata's Byakugan to keep track of Kakashi-Sensei's movements while Naruto used his speed and agility to create diversions, allowing Sasuke to sneak up on him from behind.

 It wasn't an easy task by any means; Kakashi-Sensei was a formidable opponent, and he seemed to anticipate their every move. But the three Genin worked together flawlessly, each one using their unique skills and abilities to support one another.

 In the end, it was Hinata who managed to snatch one of the bells from Kakashi-Sensei's grasp. She had used her Byakugan to predict his movements and catch him off guard when he least expected it.

 “Amazing display of teamwork you three, but now Hinata, you have the bells, who should stay with you and who should go back to the academy?”, asked Kakashi-Sensei.

Hinata just shook her head at him.

“Kakashi-Sensei there never was a team with only a Jonin and two Genin, but if it has to be this way...”

She throws Naruto and Sasuke the bells.

To say anybody was surprised, was an understatement.

“Hinata, what?!”, exclaimed Naruto shocked, while Sasuke stared at her.

“I made you work together.”, she began. “If I understood the test wrong, it’s only fair I got back to the academy.”

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, unsure of what to do next. Hinata's selfless act had caught them off guard, and they were both touched by her willingness to sacrifice herself for the team.

 But before they could say anything, Kakashi-Sensei spoke up. "Hinata, you have understood the true meaning of the test, your teamwork and leadership skills are exceptional. You've all passed."

 The three Genin looked at each other in disbelief before breaking out into huge grins. They had done it - they had passed Kakashi-Sensei's test!

 Kakashi-Sensei told them that starting tomorrow they would go on missions and with a puff of smoke he was gone.

 As they made their way back to the village, Hinata couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what they had accomplished together. She knew that there would be many more challenges ahead of them as a team, but she was confident that with their combined efforts and unwavering dedication to one another, nothing could stop them.

Nothing is True

… Everything is permitted.

What is real?

What is not?

Is she just turning crazy or are other powers at work?

One thing is clear Kohana will get to the bottom of this and maybe change the whole Ninja-World at the same time.

S.I. Third Shinobi World War 

Chapter 2: Rin and Obito

Kohana was scolding herself.

She KNEW Rin and Obito. This wasn’t the first time she had talked and interacted with them.

About what was she nervous about?

Did her strange visions shake her up that badly?

Apparently, since she can’t walk over to her friends and join them for lunch.

“THIS is ridiculous.”, she mumbled, holding in an iron grip the Bento-Box her mother had prepared for her. “You are a Ninja! Well, soon. Get a grip!”

She took a deep breath, planted a friendly smile on her lips and walked over to the stone bench where the two friends were sitting, enjoying their lunch.

“Hey Rin-Chan, Obito-Kun, you have room for one more?”

Obito had his cheeks stuffed with food, but he seemed to greet her back, while Rin smiled warmly at her, making room for her on the bench.

The green-haired girl thanked them and sat down beside Rin, who was now boxed between Obito and Kohana.

“You look much better, Kohana-Chan.”, told her Rin relieved.

“I feel better Rin-Chan.”, she answered and took a bit out of her Bento. “Did I miss something interesting while I was in the nurse's office?”

Here the Uchiha groaned and Rin giggled cutely.

Oho, that must be a good story then!

“Spill!”

“No!”, wailed Obito, putting his hands in a prayer position. “Please Rin-Chan, don’t tell Kohana-Chan it!”

The brunette smiled angelically at her best friend, which made him blush and Kohana rolled her blue eyes before Rin turned to the other female.

“Mai-Sensei had Kakashi-Kun and Obito-Kun here spar against each other…Kakashi-Kun threw him out of the ring in less than 10 seconds.”

A loud laugh escaped Kohana, she couldn’t help it. It got worse as Obito dramatically asked Rin how she could betray him like that?!

Only Rin just patted his head and ate her own bento like nothing happened.

“Stupid Bakashi…”, mumbled the black-haired boy, crossing his arms with a cute blush. “I will show him next time!”

“You sure will.”

“Rin can you say this with any more sarcasm?”

“I can try!”

“Stop!”, hollered Kohana, whipping away her laugh tears. “I can’t anymore, guys. I’m dying over her.”

“Look what you did Rin-Chan, Kohana-Chan is dying!”

“I think she is dying because of you. Maybe you should help her.”

Huh?

What did Rin mean by that?

Her female friend turned to Kohana and winked.

What…?

Suddenly a rush of memories floated her brain which made Kohana blush furiously.

It was strange to explain…there were these memories which she called from Before, whatever that was, where she remembered sitting before a screen looking at adult Obito pictures, which would make Kizashi have an aneurysm if he knew his Imoto-Chan looked at such scandalous pics and how she read something called Reader-Insert with Obito as the love interest.

Her blush burned hotter as she remembered the… raunchy ones.

Forget aneurysm, Kizashi would straight up die. Two times over as Kohana remembered how she pleasured-

No, stop!

She was nine!

Yet in Before memories, it was an adult body.

The fuck?

Then came the memories from here. Was that a good way to explain it?

She remembers her first day at the academy, how Obito had been late and Rin gave him the homework. His happy smile was so bright, that Kohana thought for the first time in her life a boy could be pretty cute.

More of such cute moments, but one was fixed in her brain.

Kohana had never liked her green hair. She had wished for pink hair like Kizashi and her Kaa-Chan.

How she had cried one day under a cheery blossom tree because her parents had forbidden her to dye it.

Obito appeared and cheered her up. He didn’t like one of his friends being sad.

Then he said these words: “I like your hair. It’s green like mint and unique, you should be proud of it. But if you want to change it that bad one day when I’m Hokage I will say for a mission you have to dye your hair, sounds good?”

She had laughed tearfully and thanked Obito. 

Oh, yes, Haruno Kohana had a big fat crush on Uchiha Obito, wrote even in her diary Uchiha Kohana!

And Rin knew it!

And tried to play matchmaker since she found out!

That alone was reason enough to pray for a quick death, however, there were these feelings from Before.

Longing, Sadness, Unreachebel…

This emotion was so strong that Kohana gasped for a second.

It really was heartbreaking sad.

Well, at least she got her blush under control.

Kohana frowned at Rin and pocked her discreetly in the side.

Helping her with Obito was nice, but the Uchiha didn’t even register other lifeforms as possible mates, since he was so fixed on Rin.

You couldn’t even call it a love triangle since Kohana liked Obito, Obito liked Rin, Rin liked Kakashi and the Hatake was too cool for human emotions.

This was going to end in a disaster, Kohana just knew it.

“Eh, girls? All good with you two?”, wondered Obito and had a freaked-out look on his face.

Whenever Rin and Kohana were together they got still at one point and started to glare at each other. That it only happened when he was around he didn’t connect.

To his relief, Rin heard him and gave him a smile: “Don’t worry, Obito-Kun, just girls things.”

Wisely he didn’t ask more. He learned pretty early that he didn’t want to know what girls things were.

Kohana was also glad for the ending of the staring contest. Her crush can’t stop her from her mission.

“So guys.”, she began. “I thought maybe we could get together these days and have a training spar. Our Genin Exam is soon. Wouldn’t hurt to train more for it.”

“Oh, that’s a great idea. Kohana-Chan. Are you in it Obito-Kun?”

“Sure, sounds awesome!”

“Maybe after training, we could get then something to eat?”, suggested Kohana hopeful.

Both her friends were on board.

They decided they would start their training after school today. None of them had anything to do this afternoon.

Where they should eat was another discussion. Rin wanted something sweet with strawberries, Obito wanted dango and Kohana herself voted for Ichiraku Ramen.

This earned her strange looks from her friends.

“What’s wrong? Something on my face?”, Kohana wondered.

“No…but-”

“Since when do you like Ramen?!”, asked Obito for himself and Rin.

Confused Kohana blinked. She remembers eating and loving Tonkotsu Ramen, it was one of her favourite foods.

There was a tiny Japanese restaurant near her apartment-

No, wait…this is again from Before.

So she normally didn’t like Ramen?

Blasphemy! She could image a blond-haired boy with whisker marks on his cheeks nodding approvingly at her.

And what is Japanese?

Uurgh, she feels a headache starting.

“Meh, I tried it again and started to like it.”, she lied cleverly. “Also Ichiraku is amazing!”

“I was telling you this the whole time!”, shouted Obito and pointed with his chopstick at her. “Listen to your future Hokage! I know what’s best for my people.”

This made Rin giggle cutely.

“We bow before your wisdom, Hokage-Sama.”

“Geeh, thanks Rin!”

Kohana didn’t know what drove her to say this, but she heard herself proclaim: “Hey you are not the only one gunning for the hat! Maybe I want to try!”

Then she sent him what only could be a flirtatious smile, which not only made Obito blush with wide black eyes but Rin also.

Meanwhile, inside her, a part that was defined adult danced in victory because she always wanted to say this and do that if she ever met Obito.

Okay, this Before memories and now sensations will give her a whiplash.

Somehow she needs to regain control over herself.

But…who was Haruno Kohana?

She even didn’t know anymore herself.

“You know what guys. Just forget what I said. I think I’m still a bit sick. I will go to Rinka-San. See you guys later.”

With a sigh, she stood up and threw away her food.

At least she managed to arrange a training session with Obito and Rin.

So, Profit?
