When i was younger and still lived in the forest, everything seemed so simple. I woke up, washed myself and after that i searched for something edible. The rest of the day i would be hanging around with my best friend Minichi. But things changed.. They changed to fast.
My life as a ninja was short, but also allot of fun. I found out that human friends are very important to have. While i was telling Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura about what happened with my brother, i got the feeling that i missed something. A piece of the puzzle.
When i told them about my feeling, Naruto immidiatly offered to help searching for the missing piece.
Kakashi snickered at Naruto's behavior. "We should come up with a plan to stop her brother first, Naruto." He said.
That was true, we had not much time. He could be on his way right now, so we had to prepare a plan and quick. I told Kakashi about Minichi and about the power that rested deep within me. Ofcourse Kakashi offered to help me. He said that if that was going to help to stop my brother, he would gladly throw everything asside and help me.
So here we are now, on one of the most creepiest training ground in Konohana: The forest of death. Kakashi said that some powers get triggered by emotions or near death experiences. I knew he was right, i had seen it when Naruto's powers came out when Sasuke got hurt. Speaking about Sasuke..Where is he..
"Where's Sasuke, Kakashi? I haven't seen him around?" I asked.
Kakashi glanced around to see if Naruto and Sakura were still close and then looked me in the eye. "Sasuke left the village a year ago. He joined Orichimaru to gain power to avenge his clan and kill Itachi."
Woah.. I was shocked to hear this. Never thought that mister 'imanawesomeninja' would leave his friends for revenge. Maybe this was the reason why the voice i heard when i was younger told me to stay away from Sasuke.
"Are you going to convince him to come back ?" I asked.
I knew that Sasuke was important to team 7. Naruto was good friends with him and Sakura...well yeah. I giggled at the memory of Sakura chasing a annoyed Sasuke.
"Those were the good times..." I muttered mainly to myself.
Kakashi chuckled. "Well no more talking, let's get started Azami."
My expression turned serious. And we both got into battle stance. Ofcourse i hadn't been doing nothing while i was traveling with my brother. I had been training almost everyday, trying to find this so called power. I did find some new powers but not the one i needed to defeat my brother.
"You don't have time to daydream." Kakashi suddenly appeared behind me and kicked me in my back.
I flew through the air and landed on all fours on the ground. "Nice kick, old man." I smirked at his hurt expression when i said that and took this as an oppurtunity to ambush him.
Moving my hands to do some handsigns, i ran at him and focused my chakra on my arms. A bright purple light started circling around them and when i was just a inch before him i dissepeared. Then i reappeared behind him and punched him in the back. This time Kakashi flew backwards, crashing into a nearby tree, which broke under the force.
Kakashi poofed away. Shit, it was a clone. I still lack to much skill. Before i knew it i was smacked face first in the dirt. Kakashi using me as a bench to read his book. I struggled beneath him, trying to get him off. But he didn't move.
"Your still too weak, Azami." He stated, not even looking up from his book.
"And your still reading that stupid book!" I shouted.
But as i said before, i knew he was right. I was too weak. And after one more round of sparring, Kakashi came up with a brilliant idea.
"How about you stay in the forest of death for a month, to train with Minichi. You told me he's a demon right?" Kakashi said.
I nodded. That was indeed a very good idea. Minichi was a demon, so he knew allot about how demons fought and so. I agreed to stay in the forest for a month. So i went home to pack my back and took everything that was neccesary to take with me. Some food and drinks, some clothes and kunai. I informed Minichi about the idea and he came with me right away.
This was going to be a long month, but it was for the sake of destroying my brother!
