Dear Teme,

I'll be leaving soon.

No, unlike you, I'm not betraying the village. Ero-sennin said that if I was going to be a fool, I might as well be prepared for the path I am going to take. We will be leaving for awhile, to focus on my training. Or, I'll be training myself while he does his "research". Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't say it, but they also want to keep me on the move from the Akatsuki. Yet another organization that only cares about the prisoner, not the jailer. Though I shouldn't really care, considering their an organization full of the most dangerous S class criminals.

You know, it would have made more sense for you to stay in Konoha, considering your brother is in the Akatsuki as well. All you would have to do is hang around me for awhile, then your brother would have eventually show up. But no, you run off and join the power obsessed freak. Honestly, anybody with common sense wouldn't trust someone that can stretch their tongue like that.

It's sad, when you think about it, how history repeats itself. Team 7 is pretty much an exact copy of the three Sannin. One power obsessed, he decides to leave Konoha. Their best friend comes after them, and the betrayer tries to kill them. Unlike Jiraiya, I'm not giving up.

I can't write any more, I have to get ready to go.
