You probably don't know me. And that's okay.
All I can say is that this is my story as a Konoha ninja and it happens to involve my one admiration, Namikaze Minato.
It's just another day being a part of the black ops, Konohas anbu. Our fourth Hokage, Minato-sama has ordered a few of his right hand ninjas to deliver a message to the iron fist village regarding trade into our village to increase our supply of iron to the fire country. You may think it's unnecessary to send the anbu for this task, but our pride of the village had foreseen possible interceptions by the neighboring enemy villages to prevent increased supplies. These negotiations are, nonetheless, important for the sake of improving infrastructure and weapons in the village.
The wind picks up pace and is moistened with a light drizzle from the clouds looming overhead. Jumping through the rough branches in the dimly lit forest bordering the western sector, I am partnered with a few other anbu in the team. The rain is finally washing away the humidity that left us sticky for the past 2 days, but such things are insignificant for us ninjas. My mind subconsciously starts to fade and I reminisce my meeting with Minato sama.
"Wakamuri-san, will you accept this mission? I trust you will get this done successfully." The fourth hokage asked. His steady blue eyes are too hard to avoid, and I always find myself giving into his gaze.
"Affirmative my Lord", I bowed before him, my raccoon mask adorning my already hidden emotions. In front of him, I am a mask. A soldier. His right hand.
But behind it, I'm a young woman honored to be requested by him for a task. I find myself lucky. There is no other person that holds my respect as much as the person before me.
"Excellent. I know you'll not disappoint. You are dismissed." He turns back to walk towards his desk, his kind voice still lingered in the air and strangely leaves me tantalized.
How can someone sound so sweet, be so beautifully calm and steady, and be feared if you're up against him, I wondered. He is certainly handsome; it's a common gossip that Lord Hokage is one of the finest ninjas in terms of ability and beauty in all of Konoha. Being in his presence does make my heart beat. I'm assuming it's because it's such an honor to serve him. And it is, without said, intimidating to face him no matter how kind he is to all of his subordinates.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama." I leave without a sound.
There are times I've questioned my feelings. Is what romantic love? I have never had a boyfriend before. So I'm not sure..
Stupid. What's wrong with you? Silly girl.
Love? Adoration? I don't care about the fine details. All I know is that I find myself the most content and fulfilled when he entrusts me with tasks and missions.
I conclude it's admiration and respect that fills my heart. That makes more sense to me. After all, I'm not a home-wrecker..
