We were so excited to be coming back to the place where we grew up. Maybe it was just me but I felt the whole groups chakra over flowing with excitement and eagerness. I wondered how old sensei looked now, how many gray hairs he had, if he was just a s funny as he is now than he was back then…
We paused for a break and walked slowly till a clearing came up and we found the temple. I smiled as the first memories of being here came flooding my mind, and when I looked behind me everyone had the same expression.
We entered with cautiousness and looked around. It was so unkempt, unlike sensei. All of the chopped wood was scattered over the whole sacred grounds, ashes from the last burning incense still left in the shrines, and broken tiles coming from the deities statues chipped all over the floor.
This is when we started to get suspicious.
"Sensei? Where are you?" Kida franticly called out
"Someone check up stairs at his room!"
"No look in the dojo!"
Kida had already left to search for him, while I looked in the temple. Music was resonating from the small speakers, and the incense smell was still strong with the smoke lingering in the air. Someone was here… Then I heard an ear piercing, lung shattering scream…I recognized it…!
Kida!
I ran upstairs to sensei's room, opened the paper doors, and I found myself collapsing, down on my knees.
Sensei? Why?...
My heart broke and I found myself clutching the place where it used to be…
My heart…its gone…
Kyoko was holding a sobbing Kida in her embracing and sweet arms. Poor Kida…she was indeed the closest one to sensei. I soon found my cousin, Amaya holding and clutching onto me like a kid does to a parent, sad and holding on for her very dear life...
Her tears stained my shirt and mines likewise. We held each other as we cried, and grieved for the one who raised us, trained us, and took care of us till his very last breath and struggle.
"NO! SENSEI! SENSEI!!! PLEASE DON'T GO!" we all felt Kida's distress, anger, agony, and misery.
Many questions came coursing through my mind.
"Who did this???? Why would they? Why would they cause so much pain and misery for my sisters?"
I looked throughout the room, and smelled something… I followed that scent only to be found in the dojo, and a silluete of a man, and then realization dawned at me.
He quickly ran, but I ran faster.
"YOU ASSHOLE! GET BACK HERE!!! HOW COULD YOU???? WHY???" I stopped chasing him, and broke down crying. I couldn't do it.
"You know why…"
I looked up and saw him; the man that killed my only thing closest to my only father figure I had.
"What?"
"You know why I did it"
"No! please, I don't know! WHY???"
"we just want you and your friends back home" he spoke with a disgusting and sickingly sweet voice, whispering to my ear.
My eyes widened and I visibly shuddered
"Never…" I whispered in despair
"Oh well…" he replied.
He jumped out the nearest window, and I chased after him, stopping right before the window, looked down and found nothing; he was gone.
I walked in shock back to the room which all the despair has been found and created at.
"I know who did it.." I nearly whipered
"What?" Yukii said
"I know who killed sensei!" I shouted
"what!?! Who was it???"
"The Mizukage! Ok? He did this to us! He wants all of us back..to finish what he started…"
Then I felt a different type of aura coming from our chakra. I knew that we know all shared one common goal that we had to achieve running through our minds…
We must kill the Mizukage…
