3RD POV

Being born in times of war which wasn't easy, people were constantly dying, sacrifice was made it brought pain to many but people were desperate therefore even sending children, however in the first batch of children that they sent, No one realized but they had in fact sent a genius in the battlefield at the only age of five, she was already a skilled kunoichi fighting for the sake of her beloved village

Kasumi hatake, as most have noticed she is indeed the copy-cat nin's little sister, but within every single geniuses, they all carry burden...

"You're quite skilled for someone your age..." Kasumi said as she stared at the uchiha 

"someone my age? aren't we supposed to be the same age?" He asked her

"Yeah, but I notice that most children throw their kunai incorrectly" Kasumi said as she sat down by the end of the river and simply enjoying the view

"I suppose that is what you should expect, my father expects me to have high achievements" He said as he looked at the kunai in hand

"hm, is that because you are itachi uchiha? the genius? everyone is talking about you in the academy these days" Kasumi said to which he nod

"What is it that you dream of?" Itachi asked her as he sat down beside her

"There is always war and I am already tired of fighting... So I just dream that the war will stop and I wish for my family to be safe" Kasumi answered

"We share the same dream..." He said with a small smile

"But I must warn you... even though you are a genius there will be given choices where you will find yourself in conflict of what to choose, choices that may or may not change your life" Kasumi said

"Are you also considered a genius?" Itachi asked 

"was... I was considered a genius, But I quit due to... incidents" Kasumi said

"Then would you like to be friends?" He said extending his hand

"Sure" She said revealing a faint smile and that was the beginning of their friendship, May the lands have mercy on their innocence for they are only children yet burdens are already being carried upon their shoulders what more of the future?
