Ch. 8: Sifting Through the Rubble
The funeral was truly depressing. The skies were dark and rain poured down. Everyone had a look of sadness in their eyes. Heads hung low in sorrow and respect. The old man, Sarutobi, the third Hokage, was nothing more than a grand memory. While walking up in a depressing queue, I kept asking myself, "How did it come to this?" A possible second Great Ninja War was looming over the horizon, the village was in shambles, and out leader was assassinated by his former student.
Soon after the funeral, the sun began to shine. We were given the rest of the day off. I went to the training area and began my usual routine. I wanted to become stronger to protect the village and those I care about. After a few minutes, I finally noticed the presence of one particular Sharingan-wielding shinobi. "Yo," he greeted.
"Kakashi-sensei!" I exclaimed in surprise. (A/N: I bet you weren't expecting that.)
"It's nice to see you too. Are you feeling well? I noticed you were still suffering from Neji's assault."
"O-oh… s-so you s-saw me, huh?"
"A shinobi needs to be aware of his surroundings."
"H-hai, sou desu."
"Well now to get down to business. I want you to look after Sasuke for me."
"Nani? Why me?" I blushed.
"You seem to be the only one he seems to open up to. Don't worry, I'm just asking you to baby-sit him."
"D-demo-"
"Whoops! Look at the time! I was supposed to meet them an hour ago. See you later Hinata-chan," he said as he disappeared, leaving me dumbfounded.
Short chapter. Sorry. I kno I suck. Please review. I'm sleepy. U there Binh? Damn.
