The day is like any other in Konohagakure, not too hot and not too cold with big fluffy clouds floating high in the sky. Tilting my face toward the bright sunlight I sigh and casually stick my hands in my pockets. Today is too nice a day to go back to work.

Despite my reluctance, I start to head toward the Hokage Tower. The consequences of not showing up to report to Lady Tsunade are too dire to think about. The woman is really scary when she gets angry!

Every step I make toward my destination seems to take so much effort. My whole being is yearning to relax in the shade of a large tree, soaking up the peaceful stillness of the summer day. The probability that the Hokage is passed out drunk at her desk is very high I try to reason with myself, my mind desperately sifting through ways to shirk my duties. It is days like these where my lazy nature seems to take over my logical reasoning.

As I get closer to the Tower my feet get heavier until, 500 yards from the door, I stop. I glare at the building. How annoying to arrive so quickly! Yawning I glacne at the sky one last time before I am imprisoned within the stifling heat of the Hokage Tower. Oh how I long to have the freedom of the clouds!

Before my hand reaches the door I hear my name called from a distance and see my best friend approaching with his hand waving exuberantly in the air. "It's a beautiful day! Let's have a picnic!" he exclaims, bouncing in anticipatory excitement.

Frowning with the inconvenience of having to say no, I open my mouth to reply when a butterfly flutters innocently by my face. This delicate symbol, reminding me of a life almost taken, awakens me from my summer haze. Between my best friend and my job, there is no competition.

Shrugging in reply to the question asked I turn to follow my friend to our favorite rooftop spot. As we walk, my mind busily processes the probability of my presence at Tsunade's office being missed; 11% give or take a margin of error.
