This must have been a mistake! Images of Konoha started to plague me; this couldn't be...
The first sensei I ever had was sitting in front of me. He ran his hand through his now- white hair. The jounin suit he was wearing suited him well, he did not possess anything of this caliber after I left. A lot must've gone on after I took my leave. I looked at his face, now filled with hatred, instead of the love he had for one of his ex-students. But who could blame him, this time, I was the enemy.

'I-' I used kage bunshin and got away, but that's just because he allowed me to. I tried to focus on the mission again but I had been so distracted by my fall so I hadn't heard that the footsteps had stopped. He must've signaled them without saying something. The worst part was that I wanted to apologize, these were obviously his new pets.

I had been trapped. But Orochimaru-sensei was out of reach for me at the moment. The girl looked at me, I hadn't realized her look could be so piercing. Oh great; I thought My first solo mission and I get to screw up. Her eyes burned through mine, I could nearly feel the jealousy she had because I had been watching one of them. A kunai almost had hit me, my left arm was bleeding but at the moment I couldn't care less about what happened to my body. All I could see were my memories

iA little girl was walking with a fourteen-year old version of sensei. They were watching the fireworks. She could hardly see the sparks so the sensei lifted her up and put her on his shoulders./i

Unwillingly I sighed. I had reached the tent without getting any other injuries, the odd thing was that they hadn't followed me. I lie down in the grass, thinking about the best memory I ever had.

iI had just turned six and it was hot as usual. I wore my little pink dress and had my usual black ribbon tied tightly in my hair. Sensei and I were watching the sunset from the top of the gate. It seemed so peaceful. Then he disappeared and I could feel the fear. He'd leave me for good? I thought to myself. Just when I turned around he was there, with an ice-cream./i

I grinned..those were good times. When Orochi-sensei finds out I screwed up he'll punish me. I got to do something. I went out into the woods to get some firewood. Something I always do after I did my mission, and besides Orochimaru didn't cook very good meals. By the time I had finished I heard the bell. Time for the academy... But first I bandaged my arm, it had had enough time to dry.
On my way to my post things kept on bothering me..Why did I let my emotions take over? Everything had to be blocked out. Orochimaru-sensei told me not to go inside the village. Too many risks, he said. But after today I couldn't care less. There was no harm in visiting my own hometown, right?
