Morning in the village, a young eleven year old boy with short spiky brown hair and black eyes, wearing long gray pants, a pale green jacket with a dark green stripe down the middle, with a long blue scarf and Konoha forehead protector. Ran down the streets of the village, cursing himself for being late, doing his best to dodge those in his way, telling them to move but at the sametime apologizing.
Starting to become aggravated by the slowness of other villagers, not having time for this looking he finds another way. Jumping up, till he reached the roof top of a building, smirking he could finally move faster. Rushing off again, jumping from building to another, a few times on someone's balcony, jumping off. Flipping onto the next top, landing perfectly or so he thought. His scarf tangles in his foot, and the young boy slips on it. Falling down fast to the ground, with nothing to grab he embraces himself for impact.
Expecting to feel the ground, instead he felt three things. One the gentle breeze of the wind, feeling of floating and something soft like a pillow. It was cozy he couldn't help but rest his head on this pillow. Inhaling the scent that came from it, was heavenly. Was it lavender or honey, maybe a mixture of both. Whatever it was, smelled good.
And the voice that followed, he must have died and gone to heaven. Because it was just a sweet, the voice calls to him again asking the same question. The young boy looks up with his dark eyes, it hard to see who it was since the sun rays casting down on them cast a shadow over their face, but they could see their bright concerned golden yellow eyes looking down at them. Blinking a few times, the boy finally shield his eyes to see who it was.
A mad blush rushed on the young boy's face, worse than a tomato, at the face that looked down at him. And when he realized what he was laying on, made him turn darker. Right on their breast, which he could clearly see, from her attire she wore. He wasn't sure if he was lucky or stupidly lucky.
Looking at the boy, whom you managed to catch him before he hit the ground. Flying to his aide, scooping him up just in time, bringing him up into the sky with you. Asking again if he was alright, he did not at all respond. Instead he seem to be in some sort of dumbstruck trance. He was redder than a tomato, and he kept staring from your chest to you. Sweating bullets, hysterically. It was obvious that his heart was racing like a horse.
Opening your mouth, you ask him again if he was alright. He looks at you, then just passes out. Placing a hand upon his head, he was still warm. You had to get to Tsunade quickly, and with nowhere to put this boy, you just took him with you.
Tsunade stood outside of the Hokage's office waiting some what impatiently. Tapping her foot on the ground, it was already pass the time May was suppose to be here, and she wasn't yet. Looking around, there was no sight of the girl. An irritated scowl slowly started to appear, until she heard a familiar voice calling to her.
Looking, she sees you flying. Over to her, holding someone in your arms. That wasn't really important it more the fact, you where flying without the use of chakra.
"Not an ounce of chakra being used..."the Hokage tells herself.
Once you start getting closer, you slowly descend down and land just a few inches infront of Tsunade. Bowing apologetically to her."Forgive me, I did not mean to be late."Coming back up, looking at the boy in your arms."I was preoccupied, he slipped off a roof top. I managed to save him, though he passed out without telling me if he was alright."
She could see and hear the concern in your voice about the boy. Who she knew entirely well who he was."Konahamaru, rushing again. I suppose he was on his way to meet with his team a-"she stops when she noticed just exactly how the boy was rest on you and the lecherous smile he had on. Feeling her temper flare out of the blue.
Looking to her, only to become scared by monstrous anger. In a quick flash, she grabs hold of the boy by scarf, dangles him in the air shaking him like crazy.
"Why you little pervert!"she yells to him, her shaking upon him woke screaming in fear from her reaction.
As innocently as he could say, while be shaken."W-hat d-did I do?"
Growling, her grip becomes tighter with him, pulling him close to her face staring down hard at him."You know very well...grrrr..."
Konahamaru started to sweat rapidly, fumbling over his words. Trying to smile only made it worse, Tsunade cracks a eerie menacing smile at him."..."Gulping hard, afraid of his faith to come.
Drawing him back, she throws him hard and fast. Prompting the boy to scream, covering your mouth watching the poor boy just get thrown further than a football to what seem like the other side of the village. Gasping, you turn back to Tsuande who seem to slowly calm down, dusting her hands off with disgust on her face. She turns to you giving you a sharp look. Slightly making you jump."You're late...Now, let's begin. I want to see who good your healing level is."
She starts to walk off, knowing she was already in a upsetting mood you quickly follow behind.
Konahamaru finally lands and lucky for him some bushes broke his fall close by where he needed to meet his team. Who saw and heard him crash down, they hurry over to the boy, who comes out dizzy.
"Are you ok?"a boy with glasses asked, helping him up.
"What happen?"a girl with orange hair tied up in two very large ponytails.
Still dizzy all the brown haired boy could do was just fall back and passes out with pleasing smile.
Following Tsuande to a particular large room. Like a library of some sort, with some sort for concrete table with a large fish on top, by a pool swimming with fish. It was slightly cold in in here, yet it was peaceful and refreshing.
"This is my personal study, here I've trained two others."Tsunade tells you coming to a stop, she points to the fish."This will be your first assignment. Heal that fish."
Looking to the creature, who clearly was dying from lack of air. An unusual task she wanted you to do, but none the less you comply. Walking over to the creature, weaving a hand over it, it became surrounded in a cocoon like stasis. Tsuande watched carefully, as you effortless healed the fish quickly. In just a few seconds it was moving. Flipping and flopping everywhere, until it feel back into the pool.
"Astounding...she did it without effort. And, there seems to be something else. "
Turning to Tsuande."Was it done right?"
"Yes. It seems you have healing down. Apparently this was too easy for you."she turns and gestures for you to follow her."Do you know the importance of being a medical ninja?"
You think about it, when you had it."For me, Miss Tsunade is protect my sister. To be there for her, become her support along with my friends and family. But, now since I'm here...it's to do the samething. Because it is the right thing."
Though her back was to you, Tsunade couldn't but smile at your sincere and honest words."Cute words. But there's more than that. As my student listen and listen carefully, I have rules when it comes to those studying this field."Her voice was stern and serious."Number 1:No medic ninja shall ever stop medical treatment until the lives of their party members have come to an end. Number 2: No medic ninja shall ever stand on the front lines. Number 3:No medic ninja shall ever die until they are the last of their platoon, and last Number 4: Only those medic ninja who have mastered the Strength of a Hundred Technique of the ninja art Creation Rebirth are permitted to discard the above-mentioned laws."
"I never would have thought there, was such rules."you tell her, but understood them. Except for one thing."What though, is the Strength of a Hundred Technique and Creation Rebirth? Are they spells?"
The two of you exit her personal study, while she walked you couldn't help but start to hoover beside her. Which of course you received stares. Tsunade was about to answer your question, when she noticed you hoovering by her. Looking down, then back you. Seeing the looks of others, placing a hand upon your shoulder pushing you down back to the ground.
"Their not spells, it's jutsu. A high level medical jutsu that pushes the pinnacle of being a medical ninja."She points to the rhombus on her forehead."This here in the middle of my forehead, I've been storing chakra here for years. This little symbol is a seal, to the jutsu Strength of a Hundred Technique which appears once activated and this seal is permanently left on one's forehead. From this, one can preform Creation Rebirth."
Your eyes focus on her seal, it was small little thing. But the way she talked about clearly it was of great importance. This little thing held this much power, moving closer to it, you poke a finger right on it.
"Hey!"Tsunade snaps grabbing hold of your wrist firmly, you look at her.
Smiling at her, then look back her seal."I can see why, one must master this. You are the right person to do so, Miss Tsunade. It is clearly understandable why you are so passionate about those who want to become medical ninjas...I shall learn a great deal from you. Your heart is the same as mine."
Your words touched her and surprised her, slowly she lets your wrist. Looking right at you, she could read everything about your personality. It just seem to radiate off of you, the pureness of absolute innocents was overwhelming yet at the same time it was warm. There was no doubt, behind your smile there wasn't determination in becoming a medic-nin. Truly you had the heart to do it. Smiling to herself.
"Let's go."she walks off, which you gladly follow.
Back in Sunagakure, Kaito just finished school. Dragging his feet as he walked, his face dragged just as well. When a shadow flew over him, quickly he looks up with hope, only to see it was a just a bird. Much to his disappointment, going back to sulking. Making it to the Hospital, to find his father waiting for him, Kai happily greets his son. Who doesn't even bother to look up.
Seeing the long expression on his face, told the father all he needed. Feeling for his son, who clearly missed May. The only person besides another who manged to bring and uplift his son. Thinking back to that same day, when she left, Kai had to tell his son where she went. Which upset the boy greatly, he shut himself down and become more withdrawn than before towards his dad. Doing his best to tell his son, that May would return after her training. Which of course Kaito wanted a defiant answer, to which Kai could not give him.
Sighing to himself he starts to walk home with his son. It was quiet between the two of them, normally Kai would asks how his son's day was which he would receive a bleak answer from the boy. Or talk about the note he received from the Academy about his son's behavior and performance. Which he received today, but Kai dismissed it. Choosing to walk instead in silence. When May was here, and Kaito became quickly comfortable with her, he would asks his father to go and visit her or see if she was coming over. There was a bit of spirit in the boy, but now there seem like nothing.
It pained the man to see his son like this, looking up. He too wished the girl would return soon, for him but mainly for the sake of his son.
"And there..."you finish up with another person, healing them completely dispelling the healing stasis you put them and a few others."Are you well?"
The patient was a male shinobi of the village, at least in his 30's with black hair and brown eyes. Moving himself, smiling."Yes, I am thank you."
Smiling at him."That is most wonderful, all your injuries are gone. You can began returning back to your job."
Getting up, Tsunade watches you go to a few other patients checking on them. All where healed and well. She couldn't help but marvel at your progression. Thinking back to what Temari told her, about you being a natural at this was true and the way you did with great ease and not at all being tired from it. Whatever you used, was similar to chakra yet not really. Trying to put her finger on it, then again she did get the slight backstory about you from Temari. How you came to the village, though she knew there was more Tsunade didn't pressure any more information.
Done with checking on the conditions of the patients you go over to Tsunade."They are all well."
Doing a double check, Tsunade looks them over. And like you said, they where all well. Impressed, very much so turning around to you with approval smile.
"Not bad, not at all."she praises you.
You give her a warm smile pleased smile."Thank you, is there anything else?"
She shakes her head."No, not today. You can go, but tomorrow there will be."she dismisses you.
Bowing to her, you leave saying by to the others. Exiting the hospital using the window and fly out surprising the patients but amused Tsunade. Telling herself what an offbeat girl you where.
Making it to the streets of the village, spending the whole day with Tsunade the sun was still up but slowly setting. Casually walking, looking up at the color and lushes floral the village had. Nothing like back in Gaara's village. Thinking about it, your mind wondered about how he, Kankuro, Kai and Kaito where doing. Praying they where alright. Bring your eyes back down, what to do next?
You weren't really sure, having an idea that Temari might be training. Not wanting to distrub her at all, you think hard when you knew what you wanted to do. Sensing them, you take off to the sky and leave.
Hianta was in her clan's compound practicing her training, her Byakugan activated causing her eyes to become more distinct and the weins near her temples to bulge. Striking the air, with precision and strength. Normally she would be sparring with her older cousin Neji, but he was not present at the moment. Striking the air again, much firmer. She then gets in a stance ready to do one of her clan's jutsus.
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"she calls.
Just as she strikes."Hinata, I have found yo-"you come landing down right infront of her, just as she does her attack. Surprising her, and unable to stop she strikes you with the first four consecutive strikes. Before halting, feeling her hit you, you move quickly.
Gasping at what she just did."Oh my! May!"she shrieks rushing over to you, rubbing your arm in the area which she hit you."Are you alright? I-I didn't hurt you did I?"
She comes to check on you, seeing very small red marks on your arm. Infact it didn't even really look she really left a mark."There is no harm done."you assure her, showing her."See, all is well."
Looking again, seeing there was nothing she sighs, smiling with relief."That's good."
"I did not mean to intrude upon your training."you apologize to her.
"It's alright. I must say, that I am surprised."she looks up at the sky puzzled."I wasn't expecting you here...and..."her eyes return their gaze upon you.
Looking up like she did then back to her, realizing she seem lost with words. Seeing she wanted to know how you manage to come flying down and how you found out where she was.
"If my sudden form of arrival startled you, please I did not mean any sort of harm."you slowly lift up off the ground till you where just a few inches above it, Hinata looks intrigued and surprised by this. Taking this that she felt discomfort, you place your feet back down."Forgive me."
Realizing you assumed she was bother by it, she quickly puts up her hands and waves shaking her head no."Oh, no please don't feel bad. It's alright, I'm weird out at all. Infact it's pretty amazing, that you can fly."she smiles at you.
"Thank you."Looking around the compound in the open area."This is your home?"
"Yes, it belongs to the Hyuuga clan. My family."she tells you.
"It is very nice, where you training?"you.
She nods her head."I am. But I don't mind stopping. Did you need something though, you did come over. Is your time with the Hokage over?"
Nodding your head yes."For today it is. Tomorrow we will keep going. And you are correct I did come over, since I am done and if you do not mind. We can spend some time together. I have not really meet anyone new just yet in the village, and you are the only one here. I mean..."you look away shyly a bit."If you would like too."
Hinata couldn't help but accept."Sure, sounds like fun."Hearing her accept brought a smile to your face."I think I might know the right place to go."
Back in the Hokage's office, Temari enters. Tsunade looks up from her papers at the young women."How did she do?"Temari inquires.
Placing the papers down."Her healing skills are remarkable, the way she does it. It's easy to her, never have I seen someone able to heal others so quickly and effortlessly. Her training at the hospital was amazing, she knows the human body well and could easily pinpoint the affected area with just a look or something else. Her knowledge with medicine is just as high as her healing. I would give credit to whoever taught her, but she told me. Mostly she learned on her own, and including Lady's Chiyo's own personal medic jutsu. Makes her a vast assist, her level is far beyond a genin, infact a Chunin."
Temari smirks with pride."So she's too good, is what your saying."
Tsunade nods her head."Her mind processes so much, the second she looks a something it's like she breaks it down instantly, piece by piece. Till she finds the source, once she does. It stays locked in her mind, yet at the sametime it seems to be evolving in some sort. Which is why she was able to improve Lady Chiyo's jutsu. Amazing really, if you think about it. Most people who have that type of mind are often withdraw and social issues, but she doesn't. Very attentive and keen observer. Tomorrow we might work on her Taijutsu, then again something tells me she doesn't really need it, and from what you said about her skills, that she was just holding back with you. Still, there is the matter of her Water Nature. So that is something I need to see..."Closing her eyes thinking deeply."She's not like others...no defiantly not."
A two plates of dango one for Hinata and the other for you placed down by the two of you with some sweet tea. Both you and Hinata thank the waitress, she nods taking her leave.
Looking down at the treat that laid infront of you, three little balls, one white, pink then green on a stick drizzled with some sort of brown syrup sauce. Looking at this, reminded you of how, you, April and your friends sat one day eating the delicious treat. Just relaxing taking it easy. Those fond memories could easily bring tears to your eyes, but they didn't come.
Hinata picks up one of her dangos when she noticed the heavy look upon your face."May, are you ok?"
Looking to her, she was worried. Realizing the look you had on, you quickly smile."Yes, I am well."
Even with activating her eyes, she could see that it was something else. But didn't want to push it. Simply smiling."Oh, ok."
Picking up your treat, you eat it."This is very delicious. Thank you Hinata for bringing me here."
"You're welcome, I thought you might like it. I love coming here really, mostly I come by myself. Or with my teammates, but never one on one before. With someone to just talk with."
"Oh! Well, now you can say that you have."
She chuckles lightly."Yes, I can."Taking a bite of one of the dango. Swallowing it.
"So, who are your teammates?"you asks picking up the tea to drink.
"Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. We're from squad 8."
"So, Naruto and Lee are not of your team?"
"Well, no and yes...my main team is Squad 8. Sometimes though, we can be assigned to missions with others from different squads. Every one gets put on a three man squad, well mostly."
"I wonder...if that will happen to me...?"you think about it."These teammates of yours, are they like you?"
"Oh..."she shakes her head no."No...Kiba...h-he's much more louder...than I...a-and Shino...he is slightly...like me...but much bolder...he's just the type to be quiet and obverse really. But they're really great people and friends. I wouldn't mind introducing them to you."
Your eyes light up."I would be delighted to meet them, shall we go now?"
Seeing you ready, she throws up her easing your excitement."Not now, it is getting late. Som-some other time."
Settling back down."Yes, you are right. The sun has already set, and the stars are out..."you look the window up at the night sky."The stars...they are so lovely..."
Hinata looks with you too."Yes, they are."
Still keeping your eyes on the stars."I do hope, Mr. Gaara takes time to look at them."
This was the second time she heard you mention Gaara, the Kazekage. Looking at you, she wasn't sure whether the look you had was either a mixture of friendly concern or deep concern. Like she had for a certain blonde haired boy. It was hard for to read.
"The stars?"she gets your attention. Turning to her, nodding your head.
"Yes, we spent time watching them. Because...I did not want him to pass up part of his childhood at this age. Since he is the Kazekage, his job is quite demanding...I feel sorry for him, because...he cannot enjoy himself really. You miss out on many things"Your eyes drop."No one...should go through that..."the way you sounded, was understanding and painful.
"...May..."Hinata sympathizes.
Smiling softly to yourself shaking your head, looking up at her."Come now, we are eating something sweet and wonderful. We should not think of such things that. So please tell me, you mention something about your cousin who trains with you."
Your bright smile astound her, just how quickly you transition. Relaxing, she starts to tell you. Enjoying herself with you, the two of you spent a good amount of time together, telling the other information about yourselves. Some details you left out though, about your lineage. Laughing and ordering another thing of dangos. Time went by, about a good hour and half. Realizing it was getting late, the both of you leave. Hinata choose to walk you home again. Passing the flower shop along the way.
You stop and look at them, again bringing up Gaara and trying to figure out which flower you should take back when you returned to the village. Though Hinata had a better idea, maybe instead you could send one to him. Which you agreed to do. Reaching your residence, taking out the key and opening the door. Thanking Hinata for a good time, and wishing her a good nights rest, you shut the door.
Elsewhere far away from the village, a shinobi panicky runs for their lives. Looking behind them, fear written all over their face, they couldn't believe what they just saw. Whatever it was, was not human or at least one was human. Still the way the other things looked, they had to report back to their village or suffer the same fate as their comrade. Still looking behind them, instead of up ahead, something large jumps down landing hard right infront of them.
The shinobi finally turns around, stopping just before they run into whatever it was. The fear just never left, jumping back on the defense getting ready to perform their jutsu when something else drops behind them. Hearing what sounded like something charging up, petrified. Afraid to look, but do so anyway, only to scream as the sound of energy being shot right at the shinobi followed by a pink flashing light. The shinobi with whole in their torso falls forward dead.
Glowing machine eyes look down at the deceased human. A metal hand reaches out and grabs hold of them, pulling them off into the shadows."Kraang has recovered another."
