Chapter One: Introduction
(In a nearby forest right outside Iwagakure):
The man looked up at me with weak eyes as he lay on the cold stone ground. "W-Who are you?" He asked me. I responded, "I am a kunoichi from Sunagakure… Pakura of the Scorch Release."
His eyes widened, then relaxed. He began to laugh before vomiting blood from the damage he endured. He looked up at me again with a bloodied smile. "The famed "Hero of Sunagakure," he began, "The wielder of the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai. He swallowed and jokingly said, "I am surprised you didn't use your gift on me. Now knowing you are Pakura… It seems the service I have to my village ends here." He caressed his Iwagakure head protector, his hand shaking as he struggled to even lift his arm.
I stared at him, almost feeling sympathy for the Iwagakure Shinobi I was ordered to eliminate. Despite my assignment, I still always felt remorse for killing such young Shinobi. He looked around the age of 17. It thought to myself,
"He's just a child…"
He closed his eyes and grinned, "It was an honor to fight you… Pakura of the Scorch Release…"
I pulled out my kunai and knelt down beside the Iwagakure Shinobi. I hesitated, looking at his wounds I had caused. I took a deep breath…
…Slice…
I plunged the kunai straight into his heart. I removed the kunai and stood up, gathering my things, ready to head back home. I began to think to myself,
"Shinobi are merely tools, bred to be emotionless and lethal… Does that mean I am not a Shinobi…?"
