Finally an update! Sorry, every one of us has a life, I have one too. A lot happened but I won't get into details, I know you only want to read. I promise I won't abandon this fic I like it too. I was a little disappointed with the Naruto ending, but this is just my opinion, everyone has the right to have his own, so I couldn't write for a while. One of my friend just said:SPOILER ALERT

So, the fan girl and the stalker girl got the boys and almost every cool character died.

I hope you will enjoy the chapter, thx for reading fav and hits. good luck to everyone! version non beta-ed sorry for the mistakes!

Emotions, thoughts, love... is this what makes us human, isn't it? So why do those feelings hurt so much? Why does it have to be this way? Being human, being alive is a benediction no? Something that you have to be grateful for, so why do I wish to disappear right now? A long time ago I was smirking or ridiculing the phrase: I wish that the ground will open and swallow me whole. Yes, to dig a hole and hide there like a coward mouse. But now... now I understand it more that I ever thought I will. What am supposed to do? How should I live from now on... knowing that I indirectly killed two hokages?

It hurts. I blame myself every second that I am awake, and when I am not... the phantoms haunt my dreams. I have too many phantoms and demons in this world. Ugly, cold, slithering demons.

The third hokage. The old man was not perfect, but he was a good hokage that loved his village, loved Naruto. Yes, I robbed Naruto of his grand-parental figure and opened the way for one-eyed-crippled bandage men. I wonder if he has some sharingan implanted at this moment, the Uchihas are alive yet.

Whoever believed that knowing the future will help you make it better, was highly mistaking. I could try and justify my mistakes by telling that I was only human and yet a child, but I won't. Its my fault! I was the one who found the third hokage and told him about the planned attack on the fourth and Kushina. I was the one to tell him that he was old and Konoha needed Minato. Damn my lying tongue! Why did I decide, that I have the right to change...

"Reichi! Are you alright?" called me Shisui, looking at me with a worried expression in his eyes. An Uchiha that showed his emotions openly. Bless his soul, Shisui was there for me, supporting me and helping me to hold on my sanity.

"I don't know Shisui, I should be, but I am not..." I whispered with a sigh and he nodded sitting down next to me. Taking a deep breath and awkwardly wringing his hands, he started:

"You know its not your fault right?"

I raised my blurry eyes at him and blinked a few times. It was endearing the way he tried to help me. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and whispered with a sad smile:

"I am glad that you believe this, even if its not true."

We sat there in silence, listening to the chirping birds. The minutes flowed slowly, invisible minutes that will never return.

"You seem different..." started Shisui and I chuckled.

"How so?"

"I don't know..." he shook his head. "More mature, changed..." he whispered defeated.

"Hm, I guess a few months with a crazy doctor experimentalist, will do that to you."

"Sorry..." he mumbled, hiding his eyes.

"Hm, its not your fault, and its not mine, I can assure you," I said smiling at him and shaking my head.

The door opened and a panicking Kakashi entered with Itachi on pair.

"Reichi, they need you," he started and my eyes widened.

"Who? What for? I told them everything!" I panicked and felt how my heart increased its speed. I was hyperventilating.

"They need to know hokage's orders, his last will, since you were there..."

"Who they?" I asked gulping dryly.

"Konoha's elders and clan heads," answered Itachi. I felt nauseating and lightheaded. That's the moment of truth. I can still try to play the child card, the scared child...

"I'll go with you."

I know this voice, an assuring gentle voice. Itachi.

"Will you?" I asked him, my hands shaking.

"Yes," he nodded and stretched his small palm toward me. His hand was still small, it belonged to a child. A child that one day may kill me and my new family, but at that moment that hand represented my support and... I felt tears in my eyes. If only I didn't remember the plot and the characters... if only...

I grabbed his small hand and felt how his slender fingers wrapped around mine. He was warm. And I am not talking only about body temperature. Itachi looked at me with his deep, piercing, olive eyes and smiled reassuringly, squeezing my hand. Its not fair for a child so gentle, to shoulder this world's mistakes and problems. I took a deep breath and followed him toward my possible doom. What could the worst scenario be? Death? Nope.

The IT department with Ibiki and some Yamanaka in my head, Danzo's roots or Orochimaru... no! I don't want to get back to him... no! I clenched my fingers around Itachi's hand and prayed for this day to end. I hope my chackra type is earth, for I intend to learn a jutsu to open the ground and swallow me.

I didn't realize that a chunin accompanied us, until he opened the door to a large room filled with pompous people. I swallowed dryly again and took a deep breath to calm myself down, but it seems this isn't calming myself at all lately. When I stepped into the room with Itachi on pair, the whole room muted. I felt hostile looks, pity and curiosity in their eyes. Some were simply observing my reaction and trying to look deeper than I was ready to show. The Nara head of course. His literally piercing glance wasn't cold, but I felt naked under his scrutiny.

"So this is the child?" asked Yamanaka Inoichi, caressing his chin with his long pale finger.

"She's younger than I thought," he added still eying me.

"She is Uchiha, what do you want, their kids grow up faster," observed someone. And by someone I mean that I didn't know him from the manga. The clan heads of Uchiha, Hyuga, Yamanaka, Nara, Inuzuka, Akimichi, as well as the elders and of course Danzo. Apart from them I saw some other persons who probably were civilian, the top of business-men maybe? Or maybe some civilian council? Only three women present. The old hag elder, Inuzuka matriarch and one civilian. The civilian had the look of a viper, or better said one hungry for power and money. Those were dangerous no matter in what world.

"Child, approach," invited Danzo in a voice that he believed to be sort of calming and soothing for a brainless child.

I took a step forward.

"Closer," he insisted and I took another small, trembling one, suddenly feeling alone and scared. Ah yes, Itachi let go of my hand, and now I stood alone in front of a hungry pack of wolves. Granted not every one of them was a bad person, but for their village, they were leaving their humanity and feelings at home and coming here with soldier-ninja cold demeanor.

The long hours, filled with lots of questioning began. Why was I there, how did I get in, what did the hokage tell, who was else there and other crazy stuff.

Itachi stood next to his father, a good thing that they didn't send him away. Looking at him somehow calmed me.

"This child can't help us decide about the next hokage Hyuga-sama," insisted Koharu in a stern voice.

"The hokage must've thought of some candidacy in that moment, it was how he was," insisted Inuzuka thoughtfully.

"I see no one worthy of the title except for Shimura san," added Homura and my heart stopped. No! Not him! Think Reichi, think...

"Even if I believe esteemed Shimura to be a brilliant shinobi, he is not ready for this position," cut Koharu and I gaped. She didn't support Danzo's candidacy? That was news. Maybe she wasn't as crazy as I thought her to be.

Who then? Was Tsunade ready? Answer, no. it was too soon. But if not her, then Danzo, so I want her more than a crazy militaristic creep that wants to wipe out my clan to take our eyes.

"Senju Tsunade," I whispered and the whole auditory fell silent.

"The grandpa, said: find Senju Tsunade," I repeated in trembling voice.

"I see, Senju Tsunade," said the Nara head clan looking at me.

"She is lying, she never told me that earlier when I asked her," stated Danzo and everyone looked at her.

"Then how does she know this name? She is only a child," asked Choza Akimichi.

"Then why didn't she tell me about it earlier?" insisted Danzo looking at me with a cold deadly glare. His eye was a thin slit, but I could tell the hate hidden in there.

"Reichi chan why did you withhold this information from Shimura san?" asked me Fugaku in a stern voice. I blinked and bowed my head.

"He's scary..."

At my words the Inuzuka female burst out in laugh.

"In the future you will see more bandaged people my dear," she told me but I cut her before I could think and realize my mistake.

"That's not it!" I cried, balling my fist.

"No, then what?" she asked me still trying to withhold her laugh.

"Shimura san, she caught you here, scary..." she continued to laugh, but seeing as she was the only one, controlled herself and stopped, then turned at me, and waited, raising her eyebrows.

"What scared you child?" she repeated and I saw that everyone looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"Reichi!" called Fugaku and I startled.

"His... aura..." but when I saw the doubt in their eyes I continued:

"His chakra is scary, cold... and like Orochimaru's..." I finished lamely.

With that I think that I definitely signed my death warrant in Danzo's agenda.

"So will you always withhold information just because a person is scary?" asked the Yamanaka and I felt shaken.

"Information is valuable, you should be careful to whom to share it with, and weight your option well," I mumbled a lesson from Fugaku and saw how he startled almost invisible, but I caught his derangement.

"True, but who taught you that?" asked the Nara looking at me with his piercing eyes. I wonder where he forgot his lazy gaze.

"Fugaku sama, he taught me and Itachi," I answered and saw everyone's gazes traveled toward Fugaku.

"Uchiha sama did you teach them that?" asked Inoichi and Fugaku nodded. I definitely could see sign of pride shining in his eyes, but he masked it well. Yes, he was and Uchiha after all.

"But they are only kids, how would they..." finally gave voice the civilian woman. I see, so for them the concept of children soldiers, is still a dark forest.

"Make no mistake Okyha san, Itachi and Reichi are able to learn a lot of things at this age, they are not your usual civilian," he said in a confident voice. Like he said it, someone would believe we would develop Pythagoras's Theorem at our age.

"I know, but this little girl is only three.." she started but Fugaku added.

"Four, Reichi will be four this month."

"But still, how can she decide about such valuable information. What if someone fooled her?"

I was more amazed that Fugaku knew my birthday and he somehow stood up for me, but this woman smelled fishy, definitely dangerous.

"We have more important things to decide at this moment," cut the elder woman and everyone nodded. I thanked her silently in my mind, finally the attention diverted from me.

"About the hokage post, Tsunade seems like a good candidate," she continued.

"She left the village and didn't even interest herself with the matters of the village," input one of the civilian elder.

"Only the fact that the Third was her teacher, only this saved her, for he did let her be and didn't issue a ANBU after her."

"Do you think some ANBU could take her?" smirked Tsume and I had to agree.

"I vote for Tsunade," she raised her hand in the air.

Soon Inoichi, Chouza and everyone except Danzo and the female civilian raised their hands. I didn't like the fact that Danzo's and that woman visions had something in common. My intuition told me this would be a bad alliance. No, don't get me wrong, my intuition was really good. I was usually right if my sixth sense told me something, and I feel a bad storm coming.

"So, who will go after her?" asked Tsume and a death silence occurred. Everyone stood silent, thinking and totally forgetting about me and Itachi for what I was grateful. The silence continued when the door burst open and a new person entered. A person that should be vibrant and making silly jokes, hopping on one foot and saying stupid pervert things.

A collective "Jiraya sama" and everyone fell silent again.

"So its true," he sighed slumping his shoulders and covering his eyes with his palm. He then took a deep breath, everyone, still kept silent, giving him a moment in his grieve. In one day he lost both his teacher and his student, last student as I heard. I knew Jiraya had a big heart, but I bet his heart totally shattered today, because of me. I felt tears prick my eyes but sniffed, trying to control them.

"Maybe, Jiraya sama would be hokage?" someone finally asked and I saw his shoulder tense.

"No, I refuse," he said but not in a strong voice as usually, but in a tired tone.

"Don't you love Konoha? We now need a strong leader or a war could erupt any minute," said the male elder and Koharu nodded as well.

"Was I the only candidacy? How about Tsunade? Tsunade will be a better hokage than me," he said still in a tired voice.

"Actually we were discussing her candidacy, but we need someone to find her and convince her," said Inoichi and Jiraya nodded adding:

"I will bring her home."

"Will you?" finally gave voice Danzo. What was he planning now? I bet his mind wheels saw another opportunity.

"We are short on time, the world can know we are without a leader, we need at least a temporary one," he said and some of the heads nodded. I knew what he was planning, to be the temporary leader then seize the power.

"One week," started Jiraya. "I need one week to find Tsunade. Could you cover the truth for one week? Danzo sama, your forces can protect the border I trust?" hm, so Jiraya was a good player too.

"Then it's decided, Jiraya will find Tsunade, if in one week we won't have results we will need another hokage. I say we choose another candidacy, just in case," declared the old advisor and almost everyone nodded, even if some of them reluctantly.

"Danzo-sama is a perfect candidate, I vote for him," exclaimed the civilian woman who they called Okyha.

Oh I don't like this at all.

"Let's not rush," proposed Jiraya when he saw that not everyone was eager to vote for the elder. The atmosphere around the said candidate became colder that in January. He was mad but like every ninja tried to surpass his emotions.

"In one week if Tsunade won't agree, we will think about other candidate, meanwhile protect the village at the best of your abilities," interrupted Jiraya and everyone nodded again.

"Who will you take with you?" asked Koharu looking at Jiraya.

"Do i need to take someone at all?" he asked confused and the elder nodded.

"It would be better since this is a matter of utmost importance, you need someone to persuade her, someone whom she was close in her old days."

"Hm, she left because she didn't have anyone close, so this is a little..."

"I will think carefully about this and make a decision," said Jiraya and I saw some nods in agreement.

Deciding on this everyone wanted to end the meeting, when the old cripple raised his hand and said something that had me mortified.

"I do have another matter that needs our attention, the hokage's son."

No, no you old freak, you won't get Naruto!

"With all due respect I don't see how..." started Tsume but Danzo cut her out.

"That child needs to..."

"He is my Godson, and when I will return I will take the matters in my own hands. Meanwhile the child should stay where he is now," said Jiraya in a cold voice and I thanked the Heavens for his presence.

"Do you believe the Hatake brat can take care of a child?" asked the crippled jerk but Jiraya nodded.

"He did a pretty good job until now, and he is an amazing shinobi. I trust him totally, so Naruto will remain with him until I return. Meanwhile add some ANBU and..." his gaze traveled to Fugaku.

"Uchiha san, I think you can take carefully take care of that, as Police chief? I heard your son is very close with Kakashi and...ah there you are," he said looking at me. I blinked and bowed my head in a polite greeting.

"Reichi chan will you help Kakashi take care of Naruto for me?" he asked me, kneeling next to me and looking directly into my eyes. I could see his tiredness and sadness written on his face and I am sure that was the smell of alcohol. But he still was warm and comforting.

My eyes widened like the ones of an owl and I nodded after a reluctant moment. That old bat had something in mind and he definitely knew more than he showed. Knowing his spy network it wasn't news but then how come he didn't knew about the Hokage, or he just didn't want to believe it? A thing I knew for sure, I can trust him. No, no, it doesn't mean that I will tell him about my past life, but he can be trusted.

The meeting soon ended and we were brought to Itachi's home. I swear I was more nervous than in the Hokage tower. Fugaku inspected me long silent minutes. I was sitting awkwardly. I still wasn't used on sitting on my knees how they do it. In my past life we used chairs thank you very much, but here I had to have perfect posture. To think that one day they will make me learn how to make tea in this position. Yes, I am talking about the Tea Ceremony. I was informed that I would have to learn it and do it perfectly as the future matriarch. My mother promised to teach me, she said that I will prepare tea for Itachi when I will marry him.

"If he won't kill me first," I mumbled to myself, but nodded to my mother.

"Reichi, you did well today," finally said Fugaku and I raised my head to look at him. Itachi was next to me, but he was so silent and stood so perfectly still, as though he wasn't there at all.

"Thank you Fugaku sama," I voiced my thanks in a voice I thought would be perfect for a obedient perfect girl, even though I wasn't one at all.

"In the future though, you will need to tell me all the information you have," he said sipping at his tea.

Hm, so its starting. The discussion with the meaning of the clan will start soon.

"We Uchihas are a solid, and knit-close clan. Every individual of our clan knows that our clan and our interest are on first place," he started and I switched in attentive brainless mode, nodding at his words and assuring him that he was right. I tried to count how many times he said the word "clan" but I lost count at twelve.

Itachi listened to his father and nodded as often as me, nope I think he nodded more often because he was the heir. Lucky him! The monologue for him was even more intense and brain twisting. I wonder how this boy grew up sane with such a father. No wonder he killed them all. Note the dark humour?

"You will live with Kakashi for a while, then you will persuade him to come live in the Uchiha district, we have more means to take care of the child and protect him here," he said and Itachi nodded again, but I saw that this time the muscle of his right arm twitched. He didn't agree with that.

Poor Naruto… he even doesn't know what battle is taking place now, battle to take care of him. Those peoples have such good hearts, pure gold! Note the sarcasm here? The Third wasn't here to protect him and that was my fault. If only I didn't mess with the… Oh its too late now, I need to think how to help him now. His best chance: Tsunade. That being said I decided on another reckless, stupid thing. I will go after her.

My mother and my dearest, best father in the world were sleeping. I took my small backpack and some food and tiptoed outside, praying that I wouldn't mess anything this time. This was my business to take care of and my secret. First I thought about telling Itachi, Kakashi or Shisui, but I understood they would stop me. So, no, I had to do this alone.

Our village was theoretically safe, with all the ANBU and police guarding it, so I walked confidently, sneaking around and hiding in shadows. Someone would think that I developed shinobi skills overnight, but I assure you I did not. Orochimaru tried to develop some of my hidden skills how he called them…

No I don't want to remember! I covered my head with my hands and started trembling again, remembering my own screams that echoed in my ears. That excruciating pain! If I didn't have my past life experience and my strong personality, I would've gone crazy in that lab. No, I am not sure I am not crazy. Those months there definitely changed me for eternity. I am glad that Orochimaru really was only a crazy scientist not worse.. and he loved kids only for medical experiments.

I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down, even bit my own tongue, for the pain to wake me up from the stupor, but I was already used to hurting.

"Naruto!" I commanded myself and remembered the brave young ninja from the series, the moment when Karin mentioned how warm he was. I tried to imagine and feel that warm and envelop it around myself. My heart was still beating like crazy, but I started to calm down. For Naruto to grow up that warm and good person I need to save him now. That being said I nodded and went toward the village gate. Just my luck, some vendors were departing. I hoped under the cart then slowly pushed the cover aside and hoped in. Bad plan I know, I only heard that Jiraya had to travel at this time of night, but they were shinobi so I needed a transport.

The cart started screeching and soon we started moving. I didn't move at all, counting the minutes in my mind how my mom taught me. Almost an entire day I traveled that way, eating some food from my backpack but when I heard the name of the town Jiraya noted, I knew I had to hop down. Easier said than done. The cart wasn't stopping and if…

"Halt, who's there?" asked someone and the cart stopped. My heart was beating in my throat and every other sound disappeared I swear, when the cover was pushed aside. Not waiting another second I jumped and started running. I took a few steps when someone caught me by my collar and raised me in the air.

"What have we here? A little rabbit!" grinned the old smelly beggar and shoved me toward his comrade.

"Someone from Konoha I think, since you didn't stop until now," said the second man that caught me in the air. I tried hitting him but it was pointless.

"So, its the truth, the Yellow Flash kicked the bucket?" asked one of the and the vendor, or supposedly spy nodded.

"Yes, the asshole died. Now they are trying to cover it up. The guard is increased but we managed to slip away, those Konoha muffins are just plain stupid," smiled the merchant that owed the cart and spit on the ground, showing the hate for the hokage. Just my luck, I managed to get on a spy cart and get in their hands.

I didn't know which village they belonged, They were dressed like beggars with no hitai ate, but they now knew that we had no hokage. That was very very bad.

"Who's the brat?" asked the first man looking at me. I still dangled in his hands trying to slip away.

"She just sneaked on the cart, I didn't see her until now. Kill her and get it over with," said the beggar when one of the merchants approached me and started inspecting me.

"I'll be damned if that is not that Uchiha brat," he said grabbing my face in his fingers and twisting my neck to look at me.

"Uchiha? seriously?" asked the second one and the four of them tensed.

"So we gauge her eyes or what?" asked one of the pretending to be beggars.

"No, idiot, her sharingan isn't activated yet, at least i believe so, she is more valuable alive," answered the one who considered himself smarter.

"All right, we move out, bind the brat and lets go," said the vendor and made a sign with his hand.

The one holding me in his hands smiled wickedly at me promising me to make good use of my eyes. I closed my precious eyes, cursing my bad luck when I felt something warm on my face. I fell down in the next second. When I opened my eyes I saw two familiar faces next to me.

One was Jiraya gutting one of the vendors, the rest of them lying on the ground, and the second one was my mom, her hand with a kunai had penetrated the chest of the man that held me. I blinked at her and slowly touched my face to feel the warm blood on my cheek. She lowered the man on the ground and asked Jiraya.

"Jiraya sama, don't kill that one, the IT will want a word with him," she said sending a signal to Konoha's most close watch tower.

"You are right Kohara dear, I will. Did you send the signal for our patrol to come for them? We have no time to waste. And I think we'll have to take the child with us, we can't return and we definitely can't let her here alone" he said and she nodded.

"Yes, all is done, we're moving out, Reichi will come with us," she signaled someone behind her and I saw a shadows disappear in shadows?

Was, was my mom ANBU? and not simple one but one who gives orders? She called my name and I woke up from the stupor. I went rigid and stopped blinking foreseeing big troubles for my little self. My mom turned toward me and said in a very cold voice, colder than I had ever heard her talking.

"You young lady, have a lot of explanation to do."
