'I knew I should have poisoned his food...' I though regrettably, staring at my father eat away with all the rest of the main branch members.

I stood silently behind my father like a little servant, staring angrily at all the grown men sitting next to or just near my father.

"Hey, Nono would you be so kind as to serve me another plate of that salmon you somehow cooked up." Ginta a man in his mid thirties says raising his plate in the air slightly.

His wife slaps him upside the head for being rude, but they will always follow my father it was no use. I sighed walking over there to serve seconds to the man and the rest of them that finished wanting more nonetheless.

I went back over to where my father sat standing behind him waiting for him to signal the end of the meal, but this time he sat longer even when he was done eating he stayed to discuss issues at the table.

I grew impatient and weary; my stomach growled faintly indicating my hunger.

I didn't even eat breakfast because I used that time to train until lunchtime. That was a stupid idea now that I am starving to death.

"Alright let's converse in the study I have things to show you." My father boomed to the nearby men. They nodded and walked off alerting the rest of the branch members to head to their rooms or whatever.

Once the room cleared out, I groaned in anger snatching plates and stacking them in piles to place them in the kitchen.

"Ah, finally my turn to feast." I say lamely stretching about. "If only there was something to actually feast on, these pigs didn't leave a thing." I said to myself.

Glaring at the table, I grab a plate and fill it with the leftover salad and salmon. It wasn't even enough for an ant to feed on, but I had nothing else.

Sitting down cross-legged on the floor leaning on the table I sadly ate my pitiful excuse of an afternoon meal until, "Nono-chan, please don't be mad that I came to see you." A voice interrupted me.

I twisted my head in the direction of the door to see no one else, but Sato Mika's big brother. My alarmed expression quickly transfers to one of anger.

"Sato-san, what are you doing here?" I wisp angrily, standing up from my sitting position. "Oh, Nono-chan don't call me Sato-san it makes me feel sad." Sato whines glancing at his feet.

I sigh in exhaustion "Fine, Sato-kun what are you doing here?" I ask once more softening my hard stare. He brightens up and glances at me, blushing a bit.

"I just wanted to give you this." He said, bashfully giving me a bento box. "Oh!" I said surprised, and then I got angry.

"Sato-san, I mean Sato-kun, if my father finds out that you sneaked in here without permission, just to give me food he'll kill you." I say sternly staring him down.

He looks down ashamed, it was funny because he was older then I was by a year and yet he was so bashful around me.

"Nono-chan I couldn't stand it when my father asked you to serve him seconds like that he's an idiot, please don't judge me for his actions." He said pleadingly.

I softened and sat down cross-legged again. "Sato-kun thank you for being so caring, but I need you to go. I don't want you to get into trouble." I say sighing in slight aggravation.

Sato smiles and steps forward towards me placing the bento box on my lap. I stare up at him slightly annoyed; he stares down blushing slightly then pecks my cheek disappearing from my view returning to the door.

"Sato!" I yell after a while of surprise. He just runs off with a silly grin. I shake my head, and return my attention to the bento box he left for me.

"Well, no uses in letting this go to waste." I say lamely, digging into the delightful rice and noodles.

'I guess I should thank Sato, for being so kind.' I think, while walking out of the compound.

I was heading for the clearing to punch more tree trunks. Soon it would be time for my check up with Sutoshima-san, but I wanted to train as much as possible.

I didn't think much of ever seeing Rock Lee again, after all I did say I never wanted to meet him, and so far I haven't so I figured I wouldn't meet him again today, but life is full of surprises
