Before you even start reading, I want to say THE CHAPTERS WILL BE SHORT. Though THERE WILL BE MANY! So do not assume just because the chapters are short the story sucks ass. -.- I do not own Naruto Characters or some evens that may happen in the story. I DO own my OC's the plot and the right to eat bacon.
Thank you.
FUUUUUUCK I LOVE BACON! Chapter I
Onto the story. ~
"I can't allow you to do that, Akruto. The village needs more strong shinobi. Your daughter, Ausra, will make a fine ninja for the Cloud." The Raikage growled at his visitor. He and Akruto had been clashing heads ever since his wife, Yuskata, died in battle.
"You know you can, you just choose not to let us leave the village because you're nothing more than a power-hungry bastard!" Akruto snapped at the Kage. "You were kind and understood until you gained the status of Raikage. Now you're nothing more than a dense asshole."
The Raikage spit a venomous frown at the man. "I'll never hear the end of it if I don't let you go, or you'll just get up and leave. Won't you?"
Akruto nodded. "I would rather be branded a traitor and leave this immature village than to allow my daughter to study at the academy and be called a Kumo ninja."
The Kage looked at his light-haired assistant for a moment, over thinking the situation and possibilities. "Fine," He slammed a fist on his desk. The power and force from his muscled hand broke the wood in two. "You and your daughter may leave and find another place to settle in."
Akruto looked at him suspiciously, mouth parted slightly and about to speak.
"You and Ausra will be branded as traitors and will be killed on the spot, without question, if you are seen in Kumo's area." His tone was fierce. If Akruto hadn't grown up with the man, he might have been more respectful and kind about his request.
The father frowned, anger swelling up in his eyes.
"You will not brand Ausra a traitor."
A smile formed at the end of the Kage's lips. "How do you predict I won't?"
Akruto drooped his head slightly. "I will make another deal with you."
This caught his attention. Akruto straightened his back and locked eyes with the Kage. "You allow me and my daughter to leave, not giving her the title as a traitor I will stay with my daughter until she is settled into a home and school I agree with, then return to Kumokure and face the consequences you see fit."
The Raikage nodded and waved a hand at him. "I will agree to your terms. You have until tomorrow afternoon to leave the village. If you are not gone by the given time, you and Ausra will be killed as threatening trespassers."
Akruto nodded and walked from the office, heading straight home.
.: Home ; 10 minutes later :.
Ausra ran down the hall when she heard the front door open, close and then click locked. She knew her father was home after being away at work all day and couldn't hold in her happiness.
The eleven year old ran on the wooded floors and slid to a stop in front of her father. She outstretched her arms and jumped up to hug her father like she did every night, but this time he didn't have his usual large smile.
Instead her dad's face seemed to have a large frown plastered across his face. He looked down to his daughter and smiled weakly.
"Baby girl, you need to go upstairs and begin packing." His voice wasn't happy, excited or anything like it was before when he returned home. He strained his voice to sound pleased. "We are leaving early tomorrow morning."
With that, he walked down the hall with a slight hunch to his room and closed the door.
Ausra's face twisted into a frown. Her mind slowly controlled her body to go to her room and follow her father's instructions.
Silently she closed her door once she entered her room and started looking around for her backpack.
She filled it with her most precious and needed belongings.
Her packing included a few outfits, her stuffed-toy leopard and a picture of her mom. She knew from stories her mother use to tell her that when people traveled they only took the things they could carry by themselves.
Ausra's eyes looked at her bag, which was stuffed to the top, then to her mother's dress.
"When you get older and taller, Ausra, you can wear mommy's favorite dress!"
Yuskata's voice filled her daughter's ears and mind when Ausra looked at the dress. Memories flooded into her thoughts of her mother. Her reaction to them was to lay on her bed and cry.
Ausra's face was a deep red and wet from salty tears.
Soon enough, she was able to stop herself from crying any further and close her eyes, drifting off and into the dream world.
.: The next morning ; 9:00AM :.
Akruto walked into his daughter's room quietly. He smiled sadly at seeing her backpack, happy to know that she still obeyed him even when he was being unfair to her and not explaining the reasons of packing the night before.
The man walked to Ausra's bedside and gently shook his daughter by the shoulder. "Wake up baby girl, you need to eat before we leave."
Her eyes fluttered open at her father's soft voice. When her eyes registered her surroundings and notified it was her father that woke her, she jumped out of the sheets and hugged him around his neck. He returned the hug with a kind smile and light laugh.
"You didn't give me a hug last night, or explain why we were leaving, Oto-san." Ausra told her father in a faked, angry tone. Akruto smiled as he looked at his daughter, she was trying her best to make it look like she was pouting.
"I promise I will tell you if you get dressed and come to the table."
Ausra smiled at her father, confident in his promise as always. She hopped from her bed and ran to her closet.
She chose one of her favorite outfits, knowing this is what she would have to wear until they arrived at their destination or at a stop in between.
Pulling over a thick jacket lined in fur and slipping into a pair of tight, thick pants Ausra pulled on her boots and walked from her room.
She set her backpack of belongings by the front door next to her Oto's bags and headed to the kitchen.
"C'mon Ausra, I made you a plate. You need to eat quickly." Akruto smiled to his daughter and pulled a chair out for her. A wide smile stretched across her lips as she took the seat. Her father pushed the chair in and the plate of food to her.
It was a simple tamagoyaki with steamed rice and miso soup, just as every morning but with miso soup this time. Ausra bowed her head to her father; "Itadakimasu!" smiled and began eating.
Akruto nodded a smile of appreciation to his daughter, hesitating to tell her why they were leaving.
She was taking a large bite of the omelet when he finally decided to speak. "We are leaving the village."
She shook her head into a nod and smiled, chewing then swallowing her mouthful. "I know Oto-san." He struggled to smile. "Why though is what I don't understand?"
Akruto sighed, looking down at the wooden table. "We are going to find a new home. So you can go to a better academy and learn at a higher quality. That is something Kumokure can't provide you, an approved education."
Ausra looked at her father, eyes large and wide. She then looked down to her food with a smile. "I don't like it here anyways Oto-san." Her head lifted enough to see her dad's face. He had a surprised look drawn across it, mouth slightly parted in shock from her reply.
She raised her head higher, "The other kids are mean, and the teachers at school teach the other's things that I already know." Ausra's eyes closed as she smiled.
Akruto smiled weakly. "You're a good girl, Ausra." He stood once she finished her breakfast and put the dishes at the sink. "It's time to go, are you ready?"
Ausra nodded and jumped from her chair. Grabbing her stuff as her father opened the door, she chased after him. Once they were out of the gates of their home, she glanced back in thought. 'I hope you are following us, Okaa-san.'
