Hey guys, sorry it took a bit. I recently started school again so I'll have some trouble keeping up but I'll do my best.
Time skip: a week later
Hell. That was the only word I could use to describe my experience job hunting. I sighed as I walked down the streets of Konaha, no one was hiring. Or at least, that's what they told me. I'm pretty sure it has more to do with my amnesia and none existent past. Sighing again, my head down looking at my feet, I questioned my purpose. Who was I? Did I have family? Would anyone be looking for me? Questions swirled in my head, consuming me. Lost in thought I didn't notice the sign ahead of me until I tripped over it falling to the ground. Muttering some cuss words under my breath I stood before brushing myself off and glared at the annoyance. "Blacksmith Apprentice Wanted" My mismatched eyes widened at the sign. Was this my chance? The word Blacksmith seemed to awaken a fire in me, is it possible that something from my past was linked to this career?
I decided then and there that no matter what, I would somehow get this apprenticeship. Steeling any nerves I had I inside. Weapons and armor lined the walls, some elegant, looking like they could slice through bone like butter, others strong as if nothing could stop them from crushing the opponent and their weapon like is was made from nothing more than the most fragile of glass. A woman stood at the counter, she wore a tank top and baggy pants with a thick apron over the top. Her brown hair was put up in a bun with a few stray bangs and vibrant, ocean blue eyes, her lips were a soft pink. She looked at me and I could tell from her broad shoulders and toned muscles that she was the blacksmith of this shop.
"How may I assist you?" her voice was mellow and slightly deep for a woman.
"I saw your apprentice wanted sign outside and would like to apply." She straitened up and cracked a smile.
"Wonderful! What is your name and why do you wish to be a Blacksmiths apprentice?" She was so cheerful it took me a moment to respond.
"My name is Himura Akira, I recently was found with no memories and have been seeking a job of some sort. I saw your sign and something called to me." I said, her expression fell and was unreadable. I hoped and prayed she would take me on, I didn't know when another chance like this would happen.
"Ok!" She chirped, shocking me.
"R-really?"
"Yup, starting tomorrow you will come in everyday from 8:00 am to noon." Excitement rushed through me, I did it. It was… surprisingly easy until she went on. "After a month I will then decide if you are suitable for this career." I deflated, worry about if I would be good enough creeping into me before I snapped out of it and nodded.
"Understood, I will be here and prove that I can do this." She grinned.
"I like your attitude; I can tell we'll get along great!"
This was the beginning of my journey, and how a simple Blacksmith can make a difference.
Sorry it was shorter but I thought this was a perfect moment to stop, see you guys later~
