Naruto/??? Cross-Over Teaser

2nd of October, 420 CE

Diary Entry no. 24

When I was small, I always thought I could hear a voice, faint and small, as if carried on the wind. It tried to speak to me, but I couldn't understand it... was it someone's name...?

Maybe. I told the only person I could trust about it. He had smiled and told me I was probably imagining it. My trust in that person was so absolute, that for a time I believed it was true - that this voice was just the wind.

For a while the voice stopped and I forgot all about it. It was a small matter I told myself, of little importance. But lately, the voice has come back. Mostly during training, it whispers about things I'm doing wrong. Things the academy teachers hadn't told me, like I had been holding the kunai wrong for over three years. Or that shurikens were better thrown without swinging my arm so much. Infact, the voice is becoming more reliable than any academy teacher I've ever known.

Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe the voice is the product of my imagination. But, how could it be my imagination if it's so helpful? How could I give advice that I had to begin with? No, I don't think I'm crazy. The voice is coming from somewhere... but where? And why? Who would want to help the 'Demon Child'? I have nothing. And the voice is trying to tell me something. I think it's a name. A name I feel I should know...
