Living with animal obsessed parents has its perks, like being able to work with wild animals and being able to care for them when you're only eight. It's always fun to interact with animals that most people thought were deadly and dangerous, which they are don't get me wrong, but they can be sweet and kind. My parents had to force me to go inside at night when I was little because I wanted to sleep with the lions or tigers or bears, Oh My! Well, my passion was animals at a young age, which pleased my parents. I often helped them with them and would always help them when there were new additions, such as cubs, pups, kits, ect.
As I grew older, my parents got to where they trusted me enough to take care of most of the animals alone, so they would often go on trips with out me, I'm not complaining though. It gave me more time with the animals, and I enjoyed being with them. I went to school and got a part time job at my parents local zoo, though I didn't understand why they paid me for it…I was their daughter, I would've been happy to work for them for free.
I sighed as my parents went on and on about how great a village in Japan was. It was called Konoha and my older cousin Shikamaru lived there. "We decided, you're going to move there!" My mother exclaimed. My whole world froze! I would not move! My family was here, save the Naras, but still!
"No! We can't move, the animals, who will take care of them? We have to stay here mom!" I exclaimed. My mother laughed and informed, "We aren't moving, you are. That way, we can still look after the animals and you can have an adventure. They are ninjas sweetie! You can become a real life ninja! Don't worry, Shikaku says there are trackers and animal lovers, so you can bring one of the wolves of kits." My mother smiled sweetly and ushered me up to my room to pack and added, "You leave as soon as you're packed.
