The Transcending Hill
It has been three years since Tetsuya Uzumaki entered the Pure Land. However, once Tetsuya had reached the Pure Land was when he decided to go his separate ways and ventured into another part of the Pure Land to pursue his dream. The reason that Tetsuya decided to go towards the farthest direction in the Pure Land was the result of a heated argument between him and Kushina had caused their sibling relationship to be very strained. After he had reached to his destination was when Tetsuya decided to find a place that best fitted his living arrangements. That occurred at the same time when Tetsuya got enrolled into an academy that was a few blocks from his living quarters. In the present day is where Tetsuya now a third-year student at the academy is getting ready to start the day and heads off to school.
A usual routine that Tetsuya does on the way to the academy is glancing at the scenery which is very unique. There are a few trees that have cherry blossom leaves on them which surround the entrance gates of the academy which Tetsuya stares at to admire their beauty. For this day was pretty special because the cherry blossom leaves had bloomed out to their peak and started to scatter all over the entrance grounds. "I wonder if today is going to be a good day since the leaves are starting to blossom again. It has been a while since I had seen the beauty of these trees at their fullest on a school day." Tetsuya had thought to himself once he got closer to the academy grounds.
This was the time of year which Tetsuya looked forward to the most because it represented the beginning of the academic year. Also it happened to be two days after Tetsuya had found out which class group he was going to be in. Tetsuya was somewhat thrilled because the class group he got placed in had most of the people who had been in his class all of his years at the academy. However, Tetsuya had reached to the entrance grounds about thirty minutes before the first class period started. "Oh boy I got here a little earlier than usual and hopefully make it past the hill before the first bell rings." Tetsuya thought to himself when he looked at the hill that was between the academy grounds and the entrance gates.
This hill was very steep and it was about a quarter mile long which was possible to make the first class period on time. Not even taking five steps onto the hill was when Tetsuya had noticed somebody standing there on the foot of the hill. It was a girl with long brown hair who had a nervous look on her face. "Sweet Bread" The girl said in a nervous tone which caught Tetsuya's attention. "Don't be scared to walk up this hill and go face this fear head on." Tetsuya said to the girl in an encouraging voice. That was when the girl noticed Tetsuya and started to walk up the hill with Tetsuya. Both Tetsuya and this girl had made it within ten minutes before classes had started for the day.
