Stories under the moon

Painted moonlight

Sai

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of its characters

Many hailed it beautiful, but to Sai, it was just a clear night sky.

What people like Naruto or that Nara person saw in it, he didn't know.

Sai had recently come to notice the appreciation many of his colleagues gave to the starry sky, but he didn't understand what that was all about.

So he decided, just like with smiling, he'd try it out himself.

The night was cool enough for him to wear a jacket, and Sai was smart enough to know to bring one.

Along with his scroll and pen.

He watched the sky curiously, waiting for an answer to come.

"This, is boring," he said out loud.

He thought that maybe saying that would cause the night to show him some sort of greatness.

For a while, he thought wrong.

That is until, the streak of light passed by, followed by another, and another, and another.

Then, Sai understood why the others enjoyed being out here.

Although he had no sentimental feeling about seeing the shooting stars, he knew that the others did.

Without thinking, he began to paint the view he saw.


"Wow." Sakura said. "I knew you were a great artist, but I didn't know you would ever paint anything, inspirational!"

Sai gave a smile. "Is that a good thing?"

The pink haired girl looked at the drawing of the shooting stars and the moon.

She looked at him and smiled.

If he can draw something like this, maybe there's still hope for him yet.

"Yeah," she replied.

"It's very good."
