[1] Prologue

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.

Tomiko Kobayashi was forced to leave her dead clan with a mysterious stone when a man named Yosuke Takeo invaded her land. He killed everyone but her. His goal was to retrieve the magical stone to use it for evil purposes. Tomiko, luckily, got out of the mass murder alive; and she beared the burden of protecting the stone at any cost, from her father's last dying breath. When she accidentally triggers whatever mystic jutsu the stone contained inside of it, she is somehow transformed into a mere child, 12 years old from her previous 23. Now, on the run and completely baffled, she stumbles into the Hidden Leaf Village, where she meets some interesting people, some more interesting than others...
