A special Aburame morning
Shino sighed, looking at the old photo album again. "I can't, I just can't do it." Shino said at last, sitting back into his chair with a pout. Amaye looked up from her book with a sigh. Naruto had personally asked Shino to train one of the new cells but he he kept backing out. Ayame wasn't sure why but she bet it had something to do with what had happened to his own cell. She got up with a sigh and pulled out the contract again, handing it to him for almost the hundredth time in the last 24 hours.
He read it, his eyes looking for a loophole even though he read it word to word only hours ago. Needless to say he didn't sleep at all last night, then again he never slept but it was different when he was pacing and distressed then simply reading. He glared down upon his signature as if it would disappear if he did so but sadly it didn't work. He sighed and looked down, anger being replaced with sorrow. "Why does he think I should be trusted with this? I should never be trusted with someone else's life, not again." Shino said, looking at the photo album sadly.
"Hey, what happened to Akamaru and Kurenai was a complete freak accident. How could anyone have known that the child of someone killed by an emissary of Jashin was against their religion or whatever. Look, I still have no fucking idea what happened that day but I do know that nobody could have expected it. And Akamaru, that was just foul play through and through. We lost a bunch of people that night and not a single one of them was your fault." Amaye said, looking at her husband sadly, knowing her words weren't comforting him.
"Besides, they aren't trusting you with their lives, they are trusting you to pass on the will of fire. To train a new generation, you just have to train them to make them strong enough to take on the world. Don't think of yourself as someone trusted with their lives, just someone trusted to show them the right way to be good strong people." Ayame concluded, smiling happily, noting the small lift in his spirits. He smiled slightly, and reached out to grab the cup of coffee.
"I guess you have a point there, if I distance myself from them emotionally then maybe nothing bad will happen again. Besides, the world is so peaceful at the moment. No wars, no enemies, well the Cloud Village is a village of complete pricks but they always were. And with the Akatsuki gone and Madara dead there are no more secrets that could harm them right?" Shino said with a smile. Ayame knew he still wasn't completely happy about training a genin team but she knew it would take a lot more time for him to become okay with the idea.
Sorry this is so short. I just am in a rush, got a couple movies from Netflix I really want to watch Tales from Earthsea and My Neighber Tourato (probably misspelled them my mistake) Plus I wasn't sure how to go about this chapter. So this probably brings up a couple questions. Just WHAT happened to Kurenai? WHO was playing foul the night Akamaru died? Well I assure you these questions will be answered eventually. (P.S. If you have any idea for the Uchiha clan please tell, my brain is dead there, dead beyond dead belief) Hope you enjoyed and please review :D
