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.....
