Ch. 2:

Training and Forever Wondering.

"Madara Sensei! Am I doing this right?"

I stood, attempting at focusing my chakara on my feet to walk on water. My training seemed simple but Madara told me, as I got older my training would grow to be more intense.

Even knowing that and wondering what training I would face. I wondered about my life before I was adopted by Madara. Not like I wanted to give up living with him. It's just... I didn't know much about Madara Sensei. Well he's nice and has always treated me as if I was his own, but something about his dark eyes that were hidden behind his long black hair made me wonder about his past...

"Well you'll find out once you actually step onto the water!" He chuckled as he pointed to my feet.

"Oh... I knew that!" I laughed.

Life with Madara seemed light and worry free. We moved to different locations every now and then. He said it's so we won't attract thieves. I didn't mind that. I mean, I didn't know or Have anyone else besides Madara. Even though he made me stay behind at the hideout whenever we needed food or something, it never bothered me. I always thought it was to keep watch over our belongings and the hideout itself but part of me disagreed.

"Well Mira, that's enough for today! It's getting late and don't forget we're leaving at dawn!"

"Oh Right!" I had completely forgotten, I've been to focus on my training...

"Good, you're smart for a thirteen year old."

"Thanks Sensei! Am I getting better in my training?"

He smiled "Of course! Every day you improve." Then he added. "Now Mira, go pack and get some rest we have a long journey ahead."

"Yes Sensei!" I said running off.

Madara watched as Mira ran off towards the hideout. He smiled as she looked back at him. That smile disappeared at the same instant she did.

"How much longer?"

"She is quick at learning. Hopefully not much longer..."

"Good, I will report this back to the Leader."

Madara turned his head to the masked messenger as he disappeared. (Not much longer. Eh?) He looked towards the hideout and began to walk towards the entrance.
