I was sitting at my desk, looking out the window. All of the other kids were running around playing with each other. In one classroom! Of course, when everybody saw me, they gave me the stink eye. Today I didn't care. I was in the best mood and people saw that. That caused them to start picking on me more.
"Hey, you're back, Demon."
"Yeah, I am and it feels great."
"Me too, I can't wait 'til lunch. You're going to get the beaten of a life time!"
"And I'm happy."
"What the hell's the matter with you?! Did you not hear what I just said?! I'm going to kick your ass!," the girl yelled.
"Just go ahead and try. I don't care."
"Whatever."
They walked away. This day couldn't get any better!
Then, Lee Sensei walked in.
"Okay class, time for show and tell."
Oh yes it could!
He looked at me. He ran up to me and gave me his famous Death Hold.
"Le-ee Sensei...can't bre-breat-th-the."
"So, happy to see the blossom of youth! Everybody else is so dead. Do you have something to show? It can be a jutsu!"
"Act-Actually I-I do."
He put me down and I gasped for air. I walked to the front of the class.
"Okay I have something to show the class and a jutsu."
They all smacked their teeth.
"Just for that, after this, we all have to run 5 laps around the village," Lee Sensei said. "Go ahead, Atsuko!
The class glared at me, but I didn't care.
"First I'm going to show you this kunai...," I started but was interrupted.
"But we already know what a kunai is!," yelled a girl. "Show something new!"
"This kunai isn't use for fighting. No, its use for teleportation."
Everybody got quiet.
"Who gave it to you?," Lee Sensei asked.
"The Yondaime Hokage."
That gave me a series of 'That's a lie!' and 'Liar'.
Lee Sensei didn't say anything. He seems like...he knows.
"She's not lying," Lee Sensei said.
Thank you!
I smiled.
He understands.
"Sensei, how do you know," asked a girl.
Idiot!
"I know Naruto. A friend of mines. So, I know his Otou-san is," replied Lee Sensei.
"Whoa, you're Otou-san's currently the Hokage, and your Oji-san is the Yondaime Hokage?!," asked a boy.
"Yep."
The class begans to whisper amongst themselves. I shook my head.
"Okay, let her finish," Lee Sensei said.
"Like I was saying, my Ojii-san, the Yondaime Hokage, gave this to me."
"But how did he give it to you, if he died 30 years ago?," a boy asked.
I never thought about that. I can't tell them I met him in a dream. They would think I'm crazy.
Bingo!
"He left this in a scroll along with a jutsu just for me and my Nii-san. It was kept by the Hokage's so no one wouldn't get to it. Tou-san gave it to me and Nii-san."
"Oh."
"Okay, I was taught Hiraishin no Jutsu. The only other people who know this jutsu is the special bodyguard. You can only use this jutsu if you have great amount of speed. The jutsu basically sends you to the place that has the seal."
"Do you want to demostrate, Atsuko?!," asked Lee Sensei getting excited.
"Yes, please," I chuckled.
"Okay, everybody outside, now!"
We all walked outside.
Alright now. I'm so scared. I never tried this in the real world. Only in my dreams. I can't do this!
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Nobody made a sound. Not even a sigh. Wow.
I made two clones. I made one of them go 100 ft away from me and the other clone. Feel sorry for her!
I threw the kunai at her and she dodged it. It landed about 3 ft behind her. Perfect.
The other one made the Rasengan and disappeared. I didn't have to charge at the other one this time. In less then a second, I appeared behind the other one and blasted her off the space.
"Yes! I did it!"
"And The Yellow Flash returns," Lee Sensei said.
"What?," I ask confused.
"Nothing," he replies calmly.
What is he hiding?
I was excited. I didn't think I could do it. But I did!
I was jumping up and down.
"Okay, class, we have to do our 5 laps around the village."
Everybody froze. He was serious.
I shrugged my shoulders. I had two things on my side. One, Ojii-san help me increase my speed and stamina. I'm in better shape and can make it through it without getting tired. Two, I could just use Hiraishin no Jutsu!
"Atsuko, hand over your special kunai, I know you were going to try and use it," Lee Sensei figured out.
Scratch that, I only have one thing on my side.
"Okay. Oi, Sensei? Can I run without my training weights?," I asked.
"Sure," he replied.
I fell on my butt down to the ground. I took of my wrist weights and ankle weights. I slipped back on my sandals and began to stretch.
"Ah, I feel so light."
I jumped in the air, coming to the same height as a tall tree. Whoa!
"Okay, lets go," Sensei said.
We walked to the entrance of the village.
"Okay, do five laps around the WHOLE village," Sensei told us.
"But, Lee Sensei, the diameter of the village is 3 miles," complained a boy.
"You should've never been so rude to the blossom of youth!," Sensei told the class.
Everybody glared at me. I shrugged it off. I don't care.
"Oh, the first one done, doesn't have to do it again. Ready...Go!"
I took off. Leaving everybody behind. I wasn't even running full speed. Ha, too easy! Making the full five laps was harder, but not that harder. I can make it around without getting tired. Oh, it would be nice if I could use Hiraishin no Jutsu. This would've been so much easier!
I jumped over, went around all obstacles that came in my way. Boxes, poles,dogs, and cats.
First lap finished!
Wait, Lee Sensei has my kunai. He was at the entrance when I saw him. Hehe, I can still use my jutsu. I saw Kakashi and of course he had the book with him. What so special about that book? If its that cool, I want to read it!
"Hi, Kaka!"
"What are you doing?"
"People were being mean to me in class, being Lee Sensei's favorite, he made us run 5 laps around the village."
"Oh. You may want to slow down, or you'll use up all your energy."
"I'm not even running that fast. I wouldn't even be running if Sensei let me use Hiraishin no Jutsu."
"Who taught you that jutsu?"
"Er...gotta go!"
I ran away as quickly as possible from him.
Second lap finished!
On the third lap, I started overlapping people. Am I going that fast. Eh, who cares? Still not tired.
Third lap finished!
Fouth lap finished!
Fifth lap finished!
I was currently standing with Lee Sensei at the village entrance gate. This is going to take a while.
"Lee Sensei, what can I do now?"
"Its going to be a while. Since you finished first, you don't have to do it again. After the next five laps, everybody's gonna be tired. Class will end from there. The youth today is so disappointing!"
"I guess it can't be helped. Can I go home now?"
"When everybody gets done."
"Oh."
"Atsuko?"
"Yes?"
"You didn't learn that jutsu by a scroll."
"How did you..."
"I just know. You don't have to tell me now, but I seriously am interested on how you learned such an advance jutsu."
When everybody finished, they were breathing hard, but yet they still have enough energy to glare at me. I sighed.
"Stop glaring!," Sensei warned.
Still in a good mood. Don't care.
"Can I go home now, Sensei?," I asked.
"Yes, while everybody runs 5 more laps," Sensei said.
Everybody groaned.
"You guys should be just like the blossom of youth," Sensei said.
"Why would we one to be like her?!," a girl asked.
Everybody said 'yeah'.
"I'm going home "
"Why does she get to go home?"
"She was the first one finished."
I walked away not caring about what they said. I threw my hands behind my head. I went back to the academy and got my weights and my backpack and headed home.
I took a shortcut to my house, even though Tou-san told me not to. I cut through a field when I saw a girl about my age crying. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at her. She had scratches all over her body. Her orange hair was tangled up. It was so long. She was pale looking. I walked up to her and tapped her on her shoulder. She jumped and looked at me.
"Hi," I said
She didn't reply. She must be shy.
"Uh, are you okay?"
She shook her head no. Should I go get Tou-san?
"Do you want help?"
She was hestitant, but nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Sasaki Mayumi."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Uzumaki Atsuko."
She smiled.
"Nice to meet you."
"Well, I can help you.
"You can?"
"Yeah, but I need to go get my Otou-san, okay?"
She nodded.
I sprinted off towards my house. Dang, I wish I gave the kunai to Tou-san. This would be so much easier. When I got there, I saw Tou-san and Kakashi.
"Kaka?," I asked confused.
"What are you doing here, Suko?," asked Tou-san.
"Uh, class got out early, but that's not the point!," I yelled.
"What's wrong," Tou-san asked.
"I found a girl who's about my age, who was hurt!"
"Where?"
"No time for another answer!"
I ran out the door quickly followed by Tou-san.
"Atsuko, slow down!," Tou-san yelled at me.
"No!," I yelled back.
I quickened my speed, 'til I saw her again.
"Hey!"
She turned around and she was a little scared seeing Tou-san.
Tou-san sped up and pulled me back.
"Atsuko, I told you never to come here!," Tou-san said angry.
"I know and I'm sorry, but please help her, Tou-san!," I replied.
He sighed and ran over to the girl.
The reason why I Tou-san doesn't like me going here, is because its a dangerous part of the village. A lot of people get hurt over here. Rogue ninjas that are always hiding. Akira got attacked when he was 7. He was badly injured and he was in the hospital for a month. Tou-san was angry. It nearly happened to me last year, when everybody started hating me. Now, they won't show mercy to me. Ecspecially me. Why can't he do anything about it,though? I'm kind of scared. Tou-san was right, I shouldn't be here. But I shouldn't be scared. I'm going to be a ninja soon. But I am.
I started to shuffle my feet a little. Should I go run to Tou-san. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped. Damn, again. I turned around to see who it was. I sighed in relief to see who it was.
"Kaka," I sighed.
"I didn't mean to scare you like that," he said.
"Ecspecially in this field."
"Why did you take this way. You know Hokage-sama doesn't like you taking the short cut."
"Yeah, I know, but I wanted to hurry up and get home. I didn't mean to get Tou-san upset."
"Why did you come home so early?"
"Lee Sensei made us run 5 laps around the village. Since I finished first, I don't have to do it again. He figured he'll end class after they run 5 more laps."
"Oh. Well, you may want to go home for now, until Hokage-sama blows off some steam."
"Yeah, I guess your right."
I began to walk away, 'til I heard Tou-san's voice.
"Come here, Atsuko."
I turned around and walked slowly towards Tou-san.
"Y-Yes?"
"Go get Kaa-san and tell her to meet me here. When you bring her here, go back and stay with your brother."
"Okay."
"And please hurry."
"Is Mayumi-chan going to be okay?"
"Yes, now go."
I took off running. I jumped on a tree and went on a trail of trees that lead to our house. I jumped from tree to tree. Higher and higher. When I reached the house, I swung down from a tree's brach into the yard. I ran in from the back door.
"Kaa-san!," I yelled
No answer. I ran around the house.
"Kaa-san, Tou-san really needs your help!"
Nothing. Where is she?
I ran into Nii-san's room.
"Nii-san!"
"Whoa, calm down, Suko. What's the matter?"
"Tou-san needs her."
"Where is he?"
"At Gorotsuki Field."
Nii-san mouthed opened a little and he looked up near the door.
He was scared.
Then, he made his hand into a fist and brought it to his fist.
"Okay, I'll go tell Tou-san she's not at home and you go look for her."
"Nii-san..."
He ran out of his room. I smiled. I soon followed his league and headed out of the house. He took the trail that I came and I opened the fence gate. I ran out like my life depended on it. I was starting to get a little tired. My heart started to beat faster.
Kaa-san, where are you?
