Chapter -1 - Introductions

Hello, time for some introductions :-). This story is about a female OC (Original Character) Uchiha, I will try to make her a hard-working genius. I mean she will get powerful, but NOT with cheats like most of the novels (born with rinnegan, hashirama cells, bijuu, etc). I think being in Uchiha clan is cheating enough :-). For everything, she will have to work … and work hard. The story will differ from canon, I don't want my MC to die from Itachi :-), but many events will be roughly based on Kishimoto's story (Kyuubi's attack, Uchiha's massacre, Chunnin exams, ...), it's easier for me this way.

No harems - I don't like those, romance is possible but much later in the story, still thinking about this. Timeline is set just before the 3rd shinobi war, our heroine will need to survive one of the bloodiest conflicts in naruto verse. She is born approximately 12 years before Naruto, Minato/Kushina are ~11 years old. I have got this story planned out (not written) pretty much all the way to Naruto Shippuden time skip, and I'm still thinking about later chapters, so wish me luck :-).

For your ease my dear reader:

"Dialogue"

'Thoughts'

*Onomatopoeia*

Now some heads up - I'm NOT NATIVE English speaker, I am trying my best here :-), so if YOU my friend see any mistake, problem or anything else that I f...d up please inform me. I'm using Grammarly to catch most of the spelling mistakes, but neither it nor I'm perfect ;-(. I'm planning on updating this story with at least 2-3 chapters a week, we will see if I can manage :-). I'm writing this fan-fic for fun, but I can promise you, if or when I catch "writer's block" I will inform you. About your comments, I will gladly read them all if and when I have the time between family, work, life and writing this story (always in this order). If you want to criticize this story please feel free to do it, I will read it as well. If you want to just put a one-star saying BS like "i dunt like" // "HAREM or I quit" then whatever rocks your world, I don't care :-). And to all of you that read to this point, Have fun!

And by the way, if you didn't know - Naruto is Masashi Kishimoto's story. So I don't own anything ... for now *wink-wink* :-).
