Revenge
All I've been knowing for a looong time was that I hated him with my whole mind and soul. The one who was in charge for all of them, so the one who had to pay for everything they have done. It may be true he wasn't the one who commended them at that time, but he was his son. So he had to pay for his father's doings. He had to die.
I'm called Ikidori Runo. I'm from Amekagure. I've inherited my mother's fair skin and the color of my medium-length hair- an orange shade of red. My eye color is neither from Ma nor from Pa- it's golden. Like Angel-sama's. Speaking of... I knew I had no chance of killing the young Kazekage on my own, so the only option left was looking for Angel-sama's aid.
And that's where my story began.
There were only two ways to get to Angel-sama. One was to stand out so she can either notice me as a potential threat to the village and approach me, or notice me as a useful talented shinobi and approach me again. But I never liked standing out, so I wasn't planning to change that unless it was my final option. The other way was officially requesting a meeting with Pein-sama. I was afraid of this. Not because I thought I could actually meet Pein-sama –this was an utopia- but because I didn't know what to say –if by some miracle I could get an appointment with her- to Angel-sama.
So I decided to propose a mission of assassinating the Kazekage. In Amekagure there is this thing , to be able to propose a mission which will be later considered by Angel-sama or even –if you were lucky- Pein-sama. Probably mine will stand out- better that piece of paper than me- and Angel-sama will want to know why I've suggested this mission.
So that was it. I popped th piece of paper inside the box, and whispered a small prayer. Hopefully and with renewed strength, I went home and waited for the meeting request I wanted so hard to get.
A week has passed since that day and I begun to lose hope. Maybe this was not a way to contact Angel-sama...
Another week
Another week
A month since that day. Officially I lost all hope. Might as well end this. Who cared about me? No friends, no family, no hope. Just do it! Dig that kunai through your chest, Runo! Do it!
But I couldn't. I still had to see that son of a bitch dead. I glared at the kunai I held with my both hands, pointed towards my heart. I put it down on the table.
Suddenly I heard a sound of paper ruffling behind me. I turned around to see Angel-sama appear out of the paper pieces.
"Are you Ikidori Runo?" she asked.
I shivered involuntary under her gaze. "Hai, Angel-sama!" I was glad my voice shivered only a little.
"You suggested the mission of assassination the Kazekage?"
"Y-yeah..."
"I'll be very gld to hear why you would want such a thing."
"Hai, Angel-sama! Well..." I started, but she cut me off imediately.
"Call me Konan. Continue."
"Hai, Konan-sama! My parents were killed in the Third Shinobi World War, and they were killed by some shinobi led by the Fourth Kazekage. But still..."
"How do you know they were killed by those shinobi?"
"When you are lonely and not standing out people don't fear to talk stuff around you. I've heard many things. Still, I want to make the one who made my life a living hell suffer. Though it's his son, still no one who carries that goddamned blood in their veins should be allowed to live! They took away this from my parents, so I'll take that away from them as well!'' Runo said bitterly.
"I understand you very well. My parents died as well in the same World War. I'll help you as much as I can. So what are your goals?"
"Well, first I need to infiltrate into Suna close enough to the Kazekage, then I have to gain his trust so he may let his guard down while around me, then I can kill him."
"Alright, if that's what you want to do... I have a few contacts inside his personal circle, if he has something like this, and I can make you look like the perfect assistant for him. I'll send a message to my contacts and until then I have to dress you properly."
What did she mean, properly? Like my black ninja outfit wasn't proper enough?
