Authors Note: Hello there, so this is my first story published on here. I don't have a Beta reader yet so if you see any notable errors please tell me, and I use naruto wikia as a source of information for anything I am not familiar with. I'm putting this on here for my own growth in writing, while indulging in something I enjoy so I really don't care that the "naruto's sister" clique could be applied to my character if you like it awesome if you don't I don't care, though I am very argumentative and if I find a weak point in any reviews I WILL exploit it... thanks.

The main character in this Fanfic is an OC named Hikari Namikaze she was born before the war but as the naruto time line is not at all concrete I did some tweaking of the facts, though not huge if you are a mega fan you would notice. Here are some facts of what we know to help with the story line:

Sasori disappeared from Sunagakure [roughly 8 years before the Kyubi attack] leading to the start of the 3 Great Shinobi War. Sakumo Hatake committed seppuku [roughly a year later]. Konoha started being aggressive in the war shortly before Kakashi was promoted to Jonin [at age 13], their mission to destroy the bridge was one of Konoha's "first aggressive moves". This was roughly 2 years before the Kyubi's attack, so within this time frame the war ended and Minato became Hokage [It was noted he was promoted hokage when he was "not yet 30"].

Hikari's time line and the made up event's and reasons pertaining to her and the co-existence in the naruto-verse:

Hikari was 9 years old when Naruto was born so a year before the war during "a time of peace" when minato [around 20] was not yet legendary in the shinobi world, however because Kushina was the jinchuriki at the time her pregnancy and marriage was kept hidden until after Hikari's birth. Kushina left leaf without revealing her pregnancy [lasting 10 months] to anyone but minato and had Hikari in secret before Madara could find out about it. When she returned with baby Hikari in tow Hikari's existence was known and when she turned 5 was hidden away due to Minato's concern to the growing tensions of the war and his growing prominence. She looks much like her mother with pale skin, long bright red hair and violet eyes, but has her father's more slim elegant face.

EDIT: I WILL BE EDITING THIS SEGMENT (BELLOW) OF THE BACKGROUND

She was taught some of minato's and kushina's personal jutsu's one of the first after learning Fuinjutsu [sealing techniques] was her fathers Hiraishin no Jutsu so that if she was ever in immediate danger she could transport to a predetermined safe area. [My concept of Minato's Hiraishin Jutsu is that as it teleports the user to a marked area the jutsu-shiki is unique to each user and each jutsu-shiki [technique formula] used is different meaning you must remember each formula marked.]

Prologue

I didn't understand until much later the significance of what had happened that day, to me it was just another instance of not quite getting what my Tou-san was thinking about.

I still remember it clearly, our last day together. Ka-san was unusually quiet and Tou-san unusually loud, I should have guessed then that something was wrong. I had just turned nine years old and Tou-san had been hokage for 3 years, Ka-san and myself were kept hidden from the world still as it was only shortly after the war. He was afraid for our safety, so I wasn't even allowed to join the academy even though they both had trained me since I could stand. I was naïve back then, I still didn't understand the significance of them sending me away. I had thought it was finally time for me to be free from those cold stonewalls that had caged me in for 4 years. If I had known I would've held a little tighter as Ka-san hugged me goodbye, I would've said more to my unborn outouto, I would have jumped on Tou-san and refused to let go. As they had handed me over to Jiraiya-jiji I would have looked back longer, imprinting their faces deeper into my memory and I would have cried kicking and screaming begging them to let me stay a little longer.

It wasn't until a month later that I learned of their deaths, it wasn't until a month later they told me my outouto had died in childbirth, it wasn't until a month later my bright happy world fell down around my fingers cracking and breaking into tiny pieces. Jiraiya-jiji left me at Mount Myoboku with Ogama-jiji while he went back to Konoha, leaving me there for a little over a year. I learned allot with the Toads of Mount Myoboku, Shima-san and Fukusaku-san taught me of natural energy otherwise known as Senjutsu. Ogama-jiji spoke to me with wisdom and knowledge Slowly but surely the Mysterious Tree Mountain pieced my shattered heart back together again. Then after a year on the tranquil mountain Jiraiya-jiji came back for me, and I returned to the real world again.

I trained with Jiraiya-jiji for a little over a year, learning about all his weird quirks Ka-san had defended me from with a vengeance. Sometimes I'd say something about how Ka-san or Tou-san would react to the things he pulled me into, then he'd get this strange look on his face before becoming the goofy Ero-jiji I knew him as. When I turned 11 he left me with Michiko-san a Miko from the uzumaki clan that had survived the destruction of whirlpool with ka-san. She was very old and taught me much about the sealing techniques Uzushiogakure was renowned for, and before she passed away she sent for Tsunade-ba-chan a distant relative of my mothers to come get me.

I traveled with the slug-sannin for many years, and though I wasn't much for medical jutsu she was able to teach me near perfect chakra control, which lead to me being able to master the balancing of my physical and spiritual chakra. I stayed with the woman who came to be like an aunt to me until I was 17 where with the blessing of her, Jiraiya-jiji and the Sandaime-Hokage (other wise known to me a ojiii-sama) left to explore the world. I traveled to many different countries and became friends with many different people. 5 years later I came across the Land of Waves, a place that had previously been almost cut off from the rest of the world due to the tyranny of a man named Gato. Upon entering the town the bridge was built to I heard an interesting story that had me seething with anger and joy. This is where everything began; this is where what I had been searching for, for almost 13 years came back to me. My heart burned under the pain of it's scars, my soul cried out and a joy so deep, a pain so strong, and a heartache so unbearable smoldered under my skin.

They had lied to me. The name burned in my mind was so familiar and so adored to me, Naruto Uzumaki the name that was to be given to my outouto. My little brother was alive, not only was he alive but he was a hero, and the people precious to me had lied. I did not know if I would be able to forgive ojiii-samma or Ero-jiji, but one thing I knew for sure was that I was coming home and no one could stop me.

Authors Note: Well that's the prologue, sorry for the long author's note at the top I promise there won't be any ones as long again.
