Are there fruits in the mountains?


"Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."

"Hey would you catch me if I fall?" a girl said "Well if you're going to jump of that bridge the water can help you live" a guy said. "Wah! I'm hurt ****** I thought we were friends. You know I can't swim" she playfully pouted "What ever I 'll be you 'Knight in Shining Armor'" he sarcastically said. "Really!? Yay, come on let's go now! We're already late for the convention!" she quickly said "Patience is a virtue you know ******, but it's the most important con let's go" he enthusiastically said. The two rushed at the destined place, and while they're walking across the street, ****** didn't saw the rushing car towards him, she tried to push him away and replaced his place.

All she saw was blac—

Yuzu immediately woke up from a dream. She panted heavily and quickly grabbed her medicine. Being a chakra sensitive person sucks to live in this world.

'The joy of medical evolution' she sarcastically thought 'They never find a cure this but found some drug that stops the illness from a meantime' she dryly chuckled to herself.

She looked at the time and it was 6:00 a.m. she needed to prepare for school. After her shower, she went down to the kitchen and saw her father left some note:

"Sorry Yuzu-chan. Father needs some work to do. I left some breakfast!"

"Dang it, why dango again. I already ate this yesterday" she complained to no one. She sighed "Well I can't waste this food. I'm gonna eat it later" she mumbled to herself.

Yuzu put the dango inside the fridge, after that she went outside. It was spring season and that's the season when Cherry Blossom's Bloom.

"****** ! It's chilly outside" the same male voice said "It's not cold! It's still spring time, you don't wanna go outside 'cause you're allergic" the same girl voice said "Whatever, let's go outside. But it's your fault if I get allergies" he said "Yeah yeah I got medicine that you recommended" she said. They went outside and watched the cherry blossoms bloom.

'Why do these things flash on my mind. It's soo sad and I wonder who's the guy and the girl' she brood 'Their faces isn't so clear to me and their names is hard to hear' she thought. She sighed "Yuzu-chan! Wait for me ~ttebayo!" a familiar voice said. Yuzu looked back and saw Naruto "Naruto you're early today! I thought you were always late?" she said "Well, we're fourth year today ~ttebayo! The future Hokage can't be late Believe It!" he yelled. "Not so loud dude, your voice is very loud" she said 'Does he never run out of voice?' "Anyways let's go I wanna be early ~ttebayo" he said ignoring Yuzu's complaint. She just sighed and followed Naruto.

'I knew it... Naruto came early just to plan out a prank.' Yuzu concluded. She yawned... unaffected by the prank, including his friends. All of them was covered with goo and glitter, but what's much worse was Sasuke. He was covered in goo and glitter with a very unpleasant smell (it smells like a rotten egg). "—pfft" Yuzu almost laughed. Sasuke glared at me and looks more disappointed "NARUUTTOOOO!" he shouted. He went to Naruto and punched him "TEME! why'd you do that for!" Naruto then punched him. 'Wow... Look at my class it's sooo peaceful and clean' she sarcastically thought.

They fought until Iruka arrived to stop them. He then pinched both of their ears and dragged them outside. After that he went inside and said "All of you! You're allowed to go home early. Let's continue discussion tomorrow!" he said and went to continue to scold Naruto and Sasuke. Yuzu went up to Hinata

"Hinata-chan! Can we hang out today? I'm bored" she chirped "U-uh I can't I have clan training t-today" she answered "Can I come with you?" "S-sure, but I don't k-know with my father" "Nah it's okay, if he doesn't want to, then I'll go" "O-okay"

To describe Hinata's Training is kinda... brutal. Hyuuga's are so stiff or austere, when I entered Hinata's compound a lot of maids with a curse seal went up to here immediately. Well... They asked me if I liked tea (I said yes of course) and then proceeded to make tea. Hinata was wearing a garment that she uses whenever she fights. It looks heavy and kinda tight, I can't survive that kind of routine everyday.

'Dang, that's brutal. I wish I can interfere this fight, but stopping them would be disrespectful act tot the clan' I thought "EEeshh, that's harsh" I flinched at the sight of Hinata getting hit at her stomach. "Don't like what you're seeing?" I looked at my side and saw Neji "Isn't obvious. I don't like my friend getting beat up." I answered "Hn." he said like Sasuke "What a monosyllabic reaction" I said to him "Weaklings like her shouldn't have the right to be a ninja." he said

"It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self." I randomly said "And what does that mean?" he glared at me "In short words: You a coward to face yourself" I smiled at him. If looks could kill I could be dead again. "Anyways, I gotta go." I went up to the clan head "Hyuuga-sama I need to go now. I have something to attend" I said. He nodded and before I left I shouted "Kick his ass Hinata-Chan !"

As I left the compound I released a sigh 'So much chakra in there compound' I thought. I coughed and saw a little blood. 'Shit. Why did I have to forget my medicine' I immediately ran back home to get some medicine.
