Chapter 1: Yume
Even the largest dreams start small. An idea that slowly builds and builds until it can't be contained any longer. Certain things happen throughout life that either intensify a dream or break it. Dreaming is entirely up to the dreamer; either follow your heart to the end of the world, or continue dreaming, never to make it a reality. Anyone can dream, even the talentless, but only the truly willful have the strength to go the distance.
Growing up in an orphanage doesn't typically invoke much confidence, especially when parents consistently ignore you because there's better options for adoption; the pretty girls and athletic boys always go first. But that doesn't matter much to me, because I have a dream, which is pretty fitting considering my name is Yume (Dream in Japanese). I want to be at strongest. Why, you may ask? Three reasons really.
1. The stronger you are, the cooler you are. I mean, have you seen the way jonin move? That's cool as hell!
2. I hate losing, especially when there's a price to pay.
3. To protect those close to me. People who are like Saki was.
Saki... She was my best friend; more like my only friend considering I never talked to a lot of people at the orphanage. A couple seasons back, she went missing. It was latter found that she had been kidnapped by a traitor to the village. No more information was given to me, no matter how much I pleaded to know. Even after the traitor was driven from the village, she didn't come back. So its safe to say... shes dead.
I won't let any of my friends die again. I can't. Which is also the reason I currently have no friends. Listen, I'm no fool. I know I can't protect a hundred people at a time. Not yet at least. So I'm being very cautious when it comes to meeting people. Since I'm weak right now, I'm holding off making friends until I have a reason to.
Now If I want to be the strongest, I need a solid plan. I've got the groundwork layed out, but I need to speak with some one knowledgable if I want to Iron out the fine details. It's a ten year plan, giving extra time for when progressions may be slower. It starts when a turn eight, and really ramps up when I join the academy.
But before my training starts, ie. right now, I need money. Part of my plan is bribing a ninja for information, but how exactly does a talentless orphan make money...
End Chapter
Hello everyone! This is really just an exposition to the story. I was really anxious to get something out and I wasn't even sure if it was worth it. This is my first story and I'm not sure where it's gonna go yet.
Fanfiction . net is a wierd place... It took me way longer than it should have to figure out how to upload a story to this website, and as I'm writing this I still haven't completed the process.
Anyway, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW, tell me what you think and where I can improve.
And... yeah that's all I can think of.
Have a good day!
