This is sorta how I imagined her to look in Shippuden. You can check out more pictures of her in the link above. Her hair is a shade of reddish brown aka auburn.

You'll see in the future chapters.

Enjoy reading! <3

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I opened my eyes to the new world and wailed loudly. It was so freaking cold outside I wanted to go back into my mother's womb. Being reborn sucks. I was stuck in the womb for a week as far as I know and I was making plans on what to do for the future to change.

"Congratulations. It's a beautiful baby girl."

"We did it Kana!"

"Urusai Daichi! I did all the work. You just got me pregnant." I felt a soft blanket being wrapped around me as I calmed down. And I was given to another person to hold. I opened my eyes for the first time and saw a woman with purple hair and green eyes looking at me. She was absolutely stunning. Next to her was a man with brown hair with a tint of blue and grey eyes. 

Who tf are they?

I tried moving my hands and legs but I couldn't due to the tightly wrapped blanket around me. My eyes were wide open and I was staring at my parent's faces. My father took me in his hands and cooed. 

"How's her chakra? Is she healthy?" asked my mother.

"She has a ridiculously large amount of chakra for her age which will increase over time. She's healthy. Are you both from clans?"

I could see my parents looking at each other hesitantly. After communicating with their eyes they reached a decision.

"I'm a civilian. My husband is a civilian as well but their ancestors were shinobi." The doctor just nodded and made notes.

I furrowed my little eyebrows. Were they lying? Are they using a transformation jutsu? 

The next four years of my life, was the most agonizing part of my life.

My body could not catch up to my mental speed.

I could use my eyes for a few seconds only once I was born. Even then, everything was extremely blurry and it was difficult to see stuff.

I couldn't move my hands or legs, not that I minded this. I barely had the strength to yawn. 

However, I could hear my parents perfectly. My ears and my brain, obviously, was the most developed part of me.

Learning to walk all over again made me cry in frustration every single time because of how annoying it was. My body couldn't coordinate as well as I thought it could and it hurt every time I fell on my ass or face.

Luckily for me, since I was Japanese before rebirth bearing the name Yume I was able to pick it up quickly.

The worst part of my childhood was when I hadn't been trained to use the washroom.

It feels absolutely terrible to shit yourself and everything felt way too warm down there. I always made a particular cry to alert my mother that I shat my pants and wasn't interested to wear the same diaper for any longer.

The day I was potty trained was the best day of my life, excluding the day when the old woman came and I had my birthday parties.

5 Years Later

I stand in front of the mirror looking at myself and mentally preparing myself to ask my parents a major question. 

I ran down the stairs into the kitchen. 

"Okaa-san! When is tou-san coming home?" I asked fumbling with my words a little. 

"He'll come home soon. What's the matter Akina?" my mom asks as she prepares dinner.

"I want to ask you an important question." I almost screamed in frustration. I still had to learn how to speak properly. My 5 year old body could not keep up with my mentality. 

My parents called me advanced for my age since I could read books easily. I could even understand everything they talk about but they don't need to know that. I knew that my parents had a henge on them at all times. Even in front of me. 

That was kinda sad but it was necessary. They disappeared from their village, Konoha years ago and as far as I know shinobi were still searching for them. 

They had settled as civilians, a few days worth travel away from Konoha. Shinobi rarely came to our village. Disputes hardly happened here and if they would come, it would be for our infamous dango or to take rest during missions. 

"Tadaima."

 My father picked me up and twirled me around. I giggled loudly as my mother joined in on the fun. It was a loving family and I loved them a lot. 

In my eyes they were the perfect parents. But I needed to know their background. 

Who really am I? And who are they? These thoughts would not let me rest at night and I'd stay awake half the time.

I had done my research. When my Okaa-san went into the village for shopping, I used to go to the library with the excuse that I wanted to read story books. I instead used to go in the section of Shinobi knowledge and read all about Konoha, Suna and all our neighboring countries. 

I read all about the history of Konoha along with their clans and family trees reconfirming what I already knew by watching anime.

"I want to ask you a question."

"What is it Aki?" My father asked as he kept his fishing equipment on the ground next to a bundle full of 'fish'. But I knew better. There were weapons inside which my parents wielded.

Almost every day after I slept, I noticed my parents would sneak out of the house and come back after a few hours. 

I was no fool. They were either meeting with an informant or training. My bet is on the latter.

"Can I be a kunoichi?"

My parents stilled in shock. 

"Okaa-san, Tou-san why do I look different from you guys? I don't look like you both at all. Why haven't I ever met any of my grandparents, aunts or uncles? Why don't you let me go outside when Konoha shinobi come here? I know you both are hiding something and I want to know now. I know papa has weapons in that fish basket. I know all about Konoha from reading books in the library. Please tell me!" I finished my rambling and stopped to look at them.

They couldn't comprehend the fact that I knew so much already about them. In their eyes I must've looked like a prodigy. But I knew better. I am a 13 year old girl in a 5 year old's body. My father let out a small chuckle. 

"I didn't expect you to ask us questions at such an early age, Aki. You are smarter than we thought you were. You want to know everything? We will tell you. But you must pass a test first okay?" Tou-san said as he gave me a kunai.

I nodded my head. "I'll pass the test and make sure you tell me everything."

My mother went inside her room and brought out a scroll. She placed it open in front of me and put some chakra into it. A bunch of kunai came out.

"Just throw it at that tree. That's all you need to do. If you pass this we'll start telling you everything." 

I nodded and made my way to the garden with the 3 kunai. I gripped the first one and focused on the tree. This test seemed too easy. I looked at my parents with narrowed eyes. 

"There's something wrong here." My father frowned. 

"Just do the exercise Akina."

I faced the tree and noticed there was something wrong with it. Our sakura tree was filled with cherry blossoms which happens only during spring. But it was winter, wasn't it? 

All my naruto knowledge came rushing to me. The word genjutsu struck me hard that point and using the kunai in my hand I stabbed myself hoping that it would work. 

I didn't know how to dispel chakra, I didn't have any team mates and I didn't have the sharingan either. 

I looked around to find myself in the living room with a bloody kunai in my hand. My other hand was bleeding. It worked.

My parents looked at me with a proud smile on their face. 

"Looks like we underestimated her, Daichi." My mom smirked as she healed my hand.

"You put me in a genjutsu!" I said my eyes filled with awe and wonder.

"You passed my test, Aki. I didn't believe you would. Seems like you already know about genjutsu. I intended to give you this test when you were around 8 years old." My father said his eyes shining with pride. 

"Tell me everything while eating. I passed your test!" I said as I rushed to set the table.

As we sat down to eat they started their explanation but before I could take a bite I looked at them. My cutlery fell on the plate with a loud sound. My eyes were shining with happiness. A red haired woman with light brown eyes stared back at me with a smile. Next to her was a man with black hair and onyx black eyes. They both looked so young. Uzumaki and Uchiha? Not bad, Death.

" How old are you guys? You look like you are 25!" I asked with wonder. 

They chuckled. 

"Wait patiently Ina and don't interrupt us." I nodded.

My mother began talking. "Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were the founders of Konohagakure. The Senju's and Uchiha's were the two most powerful clans of Konoha that time. Hashirama Senju married Mito Uzumaki in order to strengthen bonds with the Uzumaki's to fight the Uchiha who were fighting against the Senju that time for political power. 

Eventually, the Uchiha's and Senju's agreed to peace and founded Konoha. Hashirama Senju became the Shodai Hokage. Madara interpreted this as the first step in the Senju's supremacy over the Uchiha and left the village. Now, since the history part is over, let's focus on the family tree. It's confusing so listen carefully. 

Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki gave birth to a boy and named him Akihiko Senju at the age of 25. 20 years later, Akihiko married a medic nin called Asami Nakamura and she gave birth to Tsunade Senju at the age of 20. Now this is where it gets confusing. 

Around the same time Tsunade was born, Mito gave birth to another child at the age of 45 or so. Her name was Kana Senju and she was Akihiko's imouto. When Kana and Tsunade were around  7 or 8 years old Hashirama died and Tobirama became the Nidaime Hokage. Tobirama Senju died a few years later and his pupil, Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Sandaime Hokage. 

He took on 3 students, the Sannin which consisted of Jiraiya, Tsunade Senju and Orochimaru. At the same time Hiruzen's friend Kagami Uchiha took on 3 students as well consisting of Kana Senju, Daichi Uchiha and a civilian. They all grew up and went their separate ways. 

Kana and Daichi fell in love but everyone was against them. An Uchiha and Senju together was unheard of and their child would be too powerful. The village elders were against them and if they had a child he/she would be considered as a weapon for Konoha. 

During that period wars were going on and it was dangerous to raise such a powerful child. So, they both left the village and were considered a disgrace to their clans as well as the village. They left for love. So when your father and I turned 38, we had you."

I was at a loss for words. The shinobi history was changed entirely but it somehow made room for one more kunoichi.

"So Tsunade-sama is my cousin? Does anyone know you are alive? How do you still look so young?  When did you leave Konoha? Can I go to Konoha to be a kunoichi? Will I get the infamous sharingan? Will I-"

"Calm down Aki." My parents came over to hug me. 

"It-it's just a lot to take in." I took in deep breaths to calm myself. 

This was like school. You miss one day of school and the next day you wonder wtf is happening. I was overwhelmed. My emotions were running haywire. 

My parents looked at each other.

"There's more?!" I whined.

"The main reason they didn't want us to get together because I am the only person in the Senju clan to get Wood release. Daichi was a rising prodigy in Konoha with his sharingan. They wanted Daichi to marry within the clan to keep the bloodline pure apparently and they were going to put me under CRA." My mother shook her head in disgust.

"Why didn't you remove your henge around me?"

"We did. It's surprising you never noticed and commented on it. It's just that many civilians would drop unexpectedly in our house and we wanted to be careful." My father explained.

Why are they lying? There's something more to this. I'll ask them later.

I looked down at my lap, silently contemplating things over. 

"I still want to become a kunoichi." I looked up to match their stare with determined eyes.

I realised how similar I actually looked to them now. I had my mother's face structure and my father's onyx black eyes. I had brownish reddish hair which was a mix of my mother's and Hashirama Senju, I presumed. 

"So I'm the daughter of an Uzumaki-Senju who has wood release along with an Uchiha with a powerful sharingan. No wonder I'm powerful." I smirked. Death did an amazing job with this.

"You've got my personality of showing off I see." My father let out a laugh.

"Hn." I turned my head away. My parents sweat dropped. 

"So when can I start training? I want you both to teach me." I demanded.

My father smiled at me. "We'll start your training when you turn 5 next week. Training will be brutal so rest up all you can. We will return to Konoha once you turn 11 so that you have one year to get used to life in the village and become friends with the Academy students. Your mother will see if you have wood release and teach you about it. She will also take your kunoichi training and teach you history and fuinjutsu if you want. I will teach you genjutsu and kenjutsu if you want. We both will teach you ninjutsu." 

"I'll become the most powerful kunoichi ever and I'll beat you both in terms of ninjutsu." And I'll also save a few others. No biggie.

My parents scoffed. "We were at the top in the Academy. You'll need a lot of training to reach our level."

"Oh I'll catch up in no time." I smirked.

Just you wait.

One week later

My birthday came and got over. As a birthday present my parents gave me my very own kunoichi outfit and a set of kunai and shuriken. They got me the basics for training at the very least.

At 5 in the morning my training started. It was brutal for my 5 year old self but I had to face it I had to become stronger quickly. My mother handed me my schedule and I paled.

5:00 am - 6:30 am | Physical Education (running with chakra weights and lifting weights)6:30 am - 8:00 am | Target Practice (Kunai and Shuriken)9:00 am - 10:00 am | Chakra Control10:00 am - 11:00 am | Fuinjutsu11:00 am - 12:00pm | Kenjutsu12:00 pm - 2:00 pm | Break2:00 pm - 4:00 pm | Taijutsu4:00 pm - 5:00 pm | Kunoichi classes

5:00 pm - 6:00 pm | History 

"After 6 you are free to do whatever you want. After you learn your chakra control we will work on slightly more difficult concepts such as genjutsu and ninjutsu along with working on your kekkai genkai if it appears. Training will be brutal, but don't give up for a Senju never gives up and the Uchiha are too stubborn to accept defeat anyways."

This is going to be a long 6 years I can tell. 

But who knew the tragedy I'd face a few days before attending the Academy?
