9. The Rooftops
Down the stairs he flew, feet barely making a sound as he swung around corners and ducked behind doors! Past the nurses' station he ran, throwing himself out of sight before anyone could catch a glimpse! Down another staircase, around a line of wheelchairs, rapidly creeping by the front desk and into the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment when someone would cause the automatic doors to open, aaand… YES! He made it out with no trouble at all, and the stealthy ninja has completed yet another mission!
You snuck out of a hospital at two o'clock in the morning and every hall you ran into was empty, dobe. It's a shame it was so easy for you, I would have loved to see Nurse Butcher Than Thou get a whack at you.
Hey, shut up asshole. I made it out because of my highly developed shinobi skills!
Oh, of course, how could I have doubted you? It must have taken you years to develop the skill of standing out in the open after an 'escape' as dangerous as yours.
Oh… right. I'll just be going off then. TO THE ROOFTOPS!
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I may actually die from it.
I wouldn't complain if you di—hey!
Hn?
No one stopped me!
…You're absolutely brilliant. It only took you five minutes to completely forget no one had caught you, and then realize it again?
Yeah, okay, you're sarcastic, haha it's very funny, shut up. What I meant was NO ONE stopped me… not even my ANBU! Is he still around? Or… maybe they finally took him off me?
Use your senses before asking stupid questions. Your guard is on the roof of the house next to this large one, in the shadows there.
What? But that makes no sense… if he's still here, why didn't he stop me from leaving?
I don't think he cares what the hell you do, so long as you're not trying to maul anyone.
Damnit! Ugh, what, is this guy not good enough to go on any other missions! I want him GONE already!
Hmm… I think he's rather taken a liking to you. Maybe he'll save you when the 'Old Bag' Hokage comes after you with those fists of fury once she finds out you took off.
Eh… nn…
Didn't think about that one, did you?
I d-don't think… I should go home… j-just yet.
Very wise of you. A bit late, but wise nonetheless.
