Chapter Two: A Teacher

I slept fitfully; dark dreams filled me with my memories.

I couldn't move.

A dark figure stood in front of me.

He had a long black cloak with red cloud-like shapes on it.

I was forced to watch as he killed my family and my friends. Then the dream changed.

Pain.

Mind numbing pain swept through my back as a pair of wings erupted out of my back.

The figure stood there and laughed as I screamed in pain, begging for someone to help me.

Nobody came. The figure vanished and I was alone.

I woke up with a start.

I was used to that dream, as I had it often.

But it still made fear envelope me.

I pulled myself up off the sofa and looked at the note the Hokage gave me.

It had directions telling where to find the Ninja Academy, but I didn't have much of a sense of direction and I would probably lose my bearings.

I got dressed and headed out the door.

In the hallway, a loud boy burst out of his apartment and ran into me.

I hit the ground with a slight oof.

"Sorry! Oh you are that girl we found in the crater, nice to meet you!"

The boy was blonde haired, with blue eyes and whisker-like birthmarks on his face.

"I'm Kari." I said quietly.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm going to be the next Hokage!" Naruto said loudly.

"Believe it!" I wondered if he could show me the way to the Ninja Academy.

"Are you going to train to be a ninja?" Naruto asked. "Yes but I'm not sure where…"

I broke off as Naruto interrupted me.

"I know where it is! Follow me!" He shouted.

I followed him through the maze of streets to a building with a large tree in front. A lone swing was hanging from it.

"Iruka-sensei must be tutoring you privately. It's a Sunday and we don't normally have classes." Naruto said looking at me curiously.

"Well good luck!" he said. I nodded and headed into the building.

A man was waiting for me there. A long scar stretched across the bridge of his nose.

"Hello Kari-san. The Hokage told me you were coming. I am Umino Iruka and I will be your tutor. We need to test you on lessons you would have been taught earlier before you can become a ninja."

"Thank you Iruka-sensei." I said gratefully, I was going to be a ninja!

We walked out to a clearing and stopped near a large boulder.

"Now for your first test: Lift this boulder using your chakra." Said Iruka.

I glanced at the rock, it was bigger than me!

I had some knowledge of chakra from books but never had I actually tried using it.

I focused on trying to let the energy flow to my arms. It tingled slightly; I grabbed the rock into a bear hug and lifted.

Groaning noises were coming from the rock as it pulled away from the ground.

"That's good enough." I heard Iruka say.

I teetered somewhat and dropped the rock. It landed with a loud thud on the dirt.

Fatigue immediately swept over me and I sat down.

"Are you alright? We only have one more test." Iruka looked at me concerned.

"I'm alright sensei. What's the next test?" I asked.

"I want you to create a clone with Jutsu. I'll show you the signs."

I watched as my teacher performed a few hand signs and a complete replica of himself appeared to his right.

I began to focus my chakra as I did before and did the signs.

"Bunshin no Jutsu!"

I looked to my right and a complete copy of me stood there.

It was like looking in a mirror, and it was rather disconcerting.

Iruka looked at me beaming.

"You passed! Tomorrow we will figure out whose team you are on."

"Thank you Iruka-sensei!" I said happily as he gave me a headband with the village's ninja symbol on it.

"Oh and before you go I want you to have these. Study these books every night and try to practice throwing kunai."

Iruka handed me several large books and cases with kunai knives.

As I came home later, I fell asleep, my head on the books.

I know kinda short. Im trying not to do that.....
