Six years later - Twelve years old

Reina's P.O.V

I yawned loudly and jump out of my dark blue bed. Stretching my body, I glance over my shoulder at the clock hanging on the wall. -7:10- 'Doesn't the academy start at 7:10?' I asked myself. Shrugging it off, I brushed pass the clock. Oh well, I'm going to be late for my very first day at the academy. Too bad.

I grabbed my clothing as I headed to my bathroom in order to take my morning shower. I don't want to stink now unlike others who don't really care about their hygiene. I cringed at the thought. Taking a quick shower, changing, and combing my blue hair then braiding it. I finished my routine by brushing my teeth. Now I'm ready to start this damned academy, not like I need it anyways. Dad has taught me all types of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu over the past six years. So, I'm way ahead of the academy's learning schedule. Pretty cool, huh? I sighed. 'I'm going to be really late now. Dads lateness is spreading to me like a disease.' I thought with a shiver. I walked into the kitchen slowly before taking an apple from the bowl on the table and biting into it.

"Dad! I'm heading to the academy now, bye!" I shouted as I opened the front door. 

Dad popped up suddenly, scaring the crap out of me. I glared at him and punched him lightly on the chest. It's not like I was going to hurt him anyways. 

"What now?" I asked boredly.

He smiled through his mask, "Hm, it's nothing. Just wanted to say good luck to my daughter, can't a dad do that?" Dad whined, acting very weirdly for a man of his age.

I rolled my eyes at his behavior. How childish can this dad of mine act?

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't get emotional about it, alright?" I said, waving my hand at him.

Dad chuckled, "I know, Reina. Well, good luck out there. Behave and make friends." Dad said.

"Thanks. And about the whole making friends thing, no promises." I smirked, making him shake his head. "Bye, Dad. See ya later~" I said kissing him on the cheek, before walking out the door.

Heh. He wants me to make friends? I doubt that will happen... Everyone is scared of me because of my blue hair and eyes. What's so bad about having blue hair and eyes? These people are just plain stupid. 'No one understands how I feel to be alone.. That's why I'm so cold now..' I thought. Walking down the streets, I stopped at a big building. The academy; the place I was placed in so I could become a genin.

'Woah, I got here quicker than I thought I would.' I mused. I walked towards the door and pushed it open, not before throwing the apple to the birds. I was greeted by a secretary with red hair and black eyes. She smiled at me.

"Do you need anything?" She asked kindly.

"Yeah, I'm the new student. Reina Hizō." I stated bluntly.

The lady gave me another big smile. I scowled and turned away from her, she's too bubbly.

"Ah, found you. Here, your classroom number is 129. Now go on, have fun Reina." She giggled. (A/N: Idk the room number, so go along with it.)

"Uh, yeah.. I will, thanks..." I muttered as I backed away slowly.

I shivered just thinking about that woman's aura. 'She was to kind, I've never seen anyone like that before besides Uncle Iruka. Man I miss him, I haven't seen him in what? Two years? He's been busy with missions and other stuff, but I'll visit him after this if I have extra time.' I thought, my hand on my chin.

I stopped walking and looked up, 'So room 129, isn't that this one.' I asked myself, looking at a door with the numbers the secretary gave me. Time to go in, I'm already late enough... I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, the door creaked before opening fully. Walking inside, I felt everyone's eyes on me, burning the side of my face.

"We will have a re-test on the Transformation Jutsu! Even those who already passed will take it!" A man who I'm guessing the sensei is, yelled angrily.

A series of groans were heard. I stared at the man blankly. I coughed, catching his and everyone else's attention.

"O-Oh, I didn't see you there. Come in!" The man stuttered, "Um, class we have a new student. Please introduce yourself"

I walked into the front of the room and faces the students.

"My names Reina Hizō. I don't like many things, so don't bother asking me about it. I hate many things which are none of your business. My dream, I'm not telling you." I said with a yawn, "Any questions?" I asked, deciding to be 'nice'.

"Why is your hair blue? It that your natural hair?"

"Why won't you tell us anything?"

"Why did you come so late in the year?"

"Would you go out with me?!"

I groaned. 'Why did I let them even ask any questions?!' I thought.

"Because I was born like this, and yes it is my natural hair color, idiot. I don't know any of you. My dad signed me up late. And no, never. Don't ask me again." I answered all the questions coldly and as bluntly as possible.

Those who asked shrunk back in fear, I smirked. That should teach them not to mess with me.

I faced the teacher, "So..." I mused.

He jumped. "Sorry, my name is Iruka. I'll be your new sensei starting today." He smiled.

Did he just say... Iruka?! Iruka as in my Uncle Iruka? No, he couldn't have. He does look exactly like my Uncle Iruka, though...

"Uncle.. Uncle Iruka?" I whispered only for him to hear.

Iruka's eyes widened in shock, he looked at me and did the same thing I did to him.

"Reina?" He asked.

I smirked, "The one and only."

Uncle Iruka glomped me like he hasn't seen me in ages, which is kinda true. I hugged back with a smile.

"Reina, I can't believe it's you. I haven't seen you since you were ten! We have a lot of catching up to do, let's do that after class though." He said, "You will sit next to Sasuke, after the class takes a test. You don't have to take this test if you want, I know you're advanced. " He said and pointed to a emo looking kid with hair shaped like a ducks butt.

I nodded, "Yeah I know, sorry about that. Why don't you come over today if you can. And I'll take the test, I want to show you how much I've improved." I smirked.

Uncle chuckled, "Alright, alright."

Looking around, I just noticed some kid tied up on the ground. I crouched down to his level, staring into his eyes.

"I wonder what you did to get tied up like this. Must have been something bad, huh?" I said, "Count me in next time." I said with a sloppy grin.

His eyes brightened and he grinned widely. I'll take that as a yes, great. You can say I'm a little trouble maker, especially when it comes to pranks. I just love them so much. I took out my hidden kunai and cut the ropes of the kid.

"You're welcome," I said then walked away.

"Wait! My names Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to be future Hokage!" He shouted.

I started back at him, "Cool dream, nice to meet you Naruto." I said.

"Okay, everyone! Line up for the Transformation Jutsu test!" Uncle Iruka shouted.

The class lined up in a single file line, I was by Naruto and the emo kid. A girl with pink hair, a red ribbon in her hair and red dress lined with white, went first.

"Sakura Haruno. Here I go.." She said, "transform!"

She transformed into Uncle, it was almost perfect but she forgot a small detail. A small scratch on his headband, oh well.

"I did it!" She squealed delighted she passed. "Did you see that, Sasuke-kun?!"

I scoffed, anyone could do that. This is to easy. It also seems like she a fan-girl of the emo kid, Sasuke. 'She's not going to get anywhere if she squeals over a boy.' I thought.

"Next, Sasuke Uchiha!" Uncle shouted.

Sasuke went up right away, doing the Jutsu like nothing. Leaving Uncle dumbfounded. I smirked. Just wait till you see me Uncle.

"Next, Reina Hizō!" Uncle announced.

I smirked and went up. 'Who should I transform into? So many to choose from.. Ah, I got it.'

I did the hand sign, imagining Dad in my head. Hearing a poof, I opened my eyes and looked at Uncle.

"Great job, Reina. You've improved greatly." Uncle praised.

I released it.

I nodded with a smile, "I know."

Whispers went around about who I transformed into. Yeah, I transformed into the amazing shinobi Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Cat Ninja. Also known as, my Dad. I sat on a desk nearby, deciding that I would watch everyone else and calculate their skills.

"Next, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"This a a real pain." A kid whose hair looked like a pineapple whined.

"And it's all your fault." A blonde girl added.

"Like I care." Naruto said, "Transform."

I watched Naruto's chakra rotate around him, I could already tell he wasn't doing it right. Naruto transformed into a naked blonde girl with smoke covering her private areas. Not to shabby. I snickered when Uncle Iruka had a such giant nosebleed he flew back. Naruto burst out laughing.

"How was it? I call it the 'Sexy Jutsu'!" Naruto laughed.

"You fool! Stop making idiotic Jutsus!" Uncle shouted, with paper in his nose.

"Hey, Uncle. Don't scold him, scold yourself. You are the one who had a major nosebleed." I teased.

Uncle blushed, "Be q-quiet Reina!" He shouted.

Class ended soon after that. He sent everyone home, but kept Naruto behind. He wanted Naruto to clean up the mess he made on the Hokage's faces. I was surprised when that he vandalized that, I wouldn't even do that. I respect gramps and the other Hokage's with all my heart. Smiling, I shook my head and opened the door.

"Dad! I'm home!" I shouted loudly as I took off my shoes.

Dad ran over to me out of nowhere, and lifted me up on the air.

"Ahh, so how was your first day? Did you like it? Was anyone mean to you? Did you make any friends?!" He blurted out, once again not acting like his usual self. Who can blame him? His little girl did go to school for the first time.

"Woah, woah, woah! One question at a time! Geez, what's up with people throwing multiple questions at me all at once?" I asked, "Never mind that.. It was fun, Uncle Iruka is my sensei. But yeah, I liked it. No, everyone pretty much stared that's all. Hm.. I guess you can say one kid peaked my interest, I do want to get to know him better. So, I'll have probably  have a friend by this week." I shrugged, answering all his questions.

What can I say? That Naruto kid is interesting, he loves pranks, he's loud, but he has something about him that draws me to him. I feel like we similar somehow... Whatever it is, hopefully I can figure it out soon.

"Gomen, but that's great! I should've told you you got Iruka as your sensei, I didn't want to ruin the surprise though. As for this kid who you're interested in, don't kiss him, don't get touchy touchy or anything like that, alright?" Dad smiled.

Heat rose to my cheeks. Why would he even say that?!

"Dad! Stop it! I know that already, no need to tell me this! I'm not a baby!" I whined.

Dad chuckled and ruffled my hair playfully. He placed me down, putting a hand on his hip.

"Hey, to me you're my little girl who I love and care about for deeply." Dad stated.

"Yeah, I'm your little girl." I giggled, "Well, I'm going to bed. Long day tomorrow, second day of the academy...ugh." I shuddered.

Dad laughed. "Alright."

I chuckled and ran to my from. Pushing the door open I jumped on my bed. I shut my eyes. 'Well, today sure was interesting. I wonder how tomorrow is going to be.' I thought and fell into a deep slumber.

_________________

I groaned, my body was sore. Rubbing my eyes, I got out of bed. I did my daily routine. After I finished I looked at the clock. -6:55- 'Wow, I woke up early for once. That's a shocker.' I ran out my room, grabbed a cookie, quickly scarfing it down. 'I need to get going now, I'm going to be late again if I don't hurry.' I mused, running to the door, only to see it had a note on it. I ripped it off and read it.

Dear Reina,

I'm going off on a mission, I won't be back home when you get out the academy. I'll be home around 12:00 P.M. Be good while I'm gone, remember what I said yesterday. No kissing or any touching, okay? Anyways, have a good day at school. That's all, I love you Reina. Behave and be a good girl!

Sincerely,

your Dad, Kakashi.

I smiled, 'Oh Dad you're to kind. Love you to.' I thought and ran out the door. I frowned. I'm going to be late again, crap. I sure am making a great impression. Note the sarcasm. I made it to the academy just as the clock hit 7:10 a.m. Sighing I sat down in my seat next to Sasuke. I glanced at him. He looked like the quiet, cold type, kinda like me except that I actually talk. I don't see what the fangirls like about him, I mean. Who would like a boy with their hair shaped like a duck's butt, that's not even close to cute or handsome. The girls here sure do have bad taste...

"We are now about to begin the graduation test. When your name is called, proceed to the next classroom. The test is on the Clone Jutsu." Uncle announced, "First up, Haruzaki Kimito!"

A girl stood up and walked out the hall. Sighing I jumped on people's desk till I reached Naruto's desk. Earning a few curses from people. He jumped surprised and looked at me shocked. I rose an eyebrow but didn't question him.

"Yo, Naruto." I greeted with a wave.

"H-Hey Reina." Naruto replied looking away sadly.

'What's he doing? Is.. Is he afraid of me?' I thought sadly.

"Naruto.. Are you afraid of me." I asked with a frown.

"N-No!" He shouted frantically, "It's just that everyone around here hates me for some reason, I don't even know why. I thought you'd hate me too like everyone else does." Naruto explained sadly.

'They hate him too..?' I thought. 'This is probably what brought me to him, he was all alone like I used to be. Till Kakashi and Iruka came into my life. This was the feeling I had, I knew we had something in common. I'd never thought it would be this though.'

I looked Naruto straight in the eye, "Why would I hate someone I just met? That's just dumb. But, your not alone.. Actually, I'm just like you. Everyone here in this village hates me besides Uncle Iruka and the man I call my Dad. So Naruto, don't think that alright? I'm here, I'm your friend." I whispered truthfully.

Naruto's expressions were changing by the second. At first he was shocked, then surprised, to sad, and finally to happy. I smirked at him, waiting for any sort of response.

"You mean it, you really want to be my friend?" He asked shocked.

I have him a sloppy grin, "You bet."

He grinned and hugged me. My eyes widened, I wasn't used to stuff like this, not even from Dad. I pat his back awkwardly, I didn't know what to do. For crying out loud, I've never even had a friend! So of course this is new for me.

"Reina Hizō!"

Naruto let to of me, "Good luck, Reina." Naruto said.

"Thanks, Naruto. I'll wait for you in the hallway when they call you." I smirked.

"Okay! Now go and do your best, believe it!" He grinned.

I laughed. This boy sure is energetic, I can get used to that...

"Okay, okay, sheesh." I mumbled and walked out the room.

'Hm, seems like you were right Dad. Making a friend is pretty great.' I thought. Room 130. I think this is it.. Entering I met eyes with a man with white hair, he had a very bad aura around him. It was pure evil, I glared at him. He up to know good, I know it.

"Ah, Reina. All you need to do is create three identical clones to pass." Uncle said.

What? Only three? That's so easy, I can do this with one hand, literally. Making the hand sign with only one hand, I made 10 identical clones.

"Done." I smirked, walking forward to grab my headband.

"Congratulations. You did an amazing job." Uncle praised.

I smiled, "Thanks. Oh, do you have any black headbands by any chance?" I asked.

"Yeah." Uncle said showing me a box. "Take one."

I grabbed the headband, swiping my finger across the Leaf Village symbol. 'I'm officially a ninja, huh? I thought it would be much harder them this.. Oh well' I thought and leaned against the wall. Tying the headband on my neck. I wonder when Naruto is going up.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

Speak of the devil. He came running to the testing room like a maniac, I shook my head at him. Oh boy. Naruto came up to me with a grin plastered on his sun kissed face.

"Hey, Reina! Did you pass?" Naruto asked.

I showed him the headband, "Yeah. You should go in and take yours, I'll wait for you out here. Good luck." I said with a smile.

"Thanks, Reina! I'll come out as a true ninja!" Naruto shouted then ran into the testing room. The door shut behind him.

I yawned and slumped against the wall, I shut my eyes. Naruto seemed nervous earlier when Uncle said the test was going to be the Clone Jutsu. Could Naruto possibly not be able to complete this Jutsu? What other reason would he have to be so nervous, nothing besides this. Crap, that means he might-

Naruto walked out the room with his head hung low, he didn't spare a glance at me.

Fail... Oh no.. He failed. I stared at his retreating figure. Naruto... I growled and ran after him. Outside the door kids were celebrating with their parents, parents were congratulating their children on passing. A pang of sadness stung my heart. Ignoring them, I pushed through the crowd when I heard an interesting conversation.

"Look at that one. It's that boy. I heard he's the only one who failed."

"Serves him right. Imagine what it would be like if he was a shinobi."

I growled viciously, I have heard enough. I grabbed one of the woman's arms in a strong grip.

"What are you doing-?!"

"Shut up you b*tch!" I snarled, "What do you know about Naruto? Huh? Nothing right! You believe this bullsh*t people say about him even if it's false. So shut up and go jump in a hole." I snapped. (A/N: excuse the language used in here... ^)

They gawked at me like I was some horrid monster. I was probably one to them.

"It's the freak!" One whispered not so quietly. "She's a murderer I heard!"

That did it. I grabbed her collar and brought her face to mine, not caring if I choked her by accident.

"Listen here. Call me freak, call me useless. But don't you dare call me a murderer! I have not killed any innocent people in my life! Also, heed this warning. If you say anything else about Naruto I'll kill you. You can talk about me just don't say anything about him. Understand?" I whispered sickly sweet.

She nodded, her expression begging me to let her go. I did, I threw her away from me like a piece of garbage. She isn't worth my time.. I went over to the swing they were staring at. Naruto was no longer there, the swing swung around with the wind, having no one on it. I clenched my fists, I was too late. I couldn't even help Naruto.. I teleported home furious with myself. I screamed, and thrashed around breaking a vase during my tantrum. I cursed under my breath then cleaned the mess up. 'I need to get this out of my system, now.'

Jumping out the window, I faced the punching bag Uncle Guy got me. I met Uncle Guy when Dad took me out for a walk around the Village, it was when we saw guy walking on his hands. He saw me and told me to call him Uncle so I did, I thought nothing wrong of it till I got to know him.

Taking a deep breath, I punched the bag. I did it again, and again until it was dark outside and my hands were bruised and swollen. I panted heavily then fell to my knees. 'I'm sorry Naruto, I'm so sorry.. What kind of friend am I if I can't even protect you, my very own friend. I'm so sorry..' I thought before falling asleep on the ground.
