Sup? Oh yeah guess I should tell you that even though Satomi already awakened her sharingan, she doesn't know it because she didn't remember awakening it on the night of the massacre. It's rare for a female to awaken the sharingan.
Chapter 8
I looked up from my spot underneath the tree to see Sensei scolding our client while looking extremely pissed, no orange book in sight. I buried my head in my knees, ignoring the concerned looks from my teammates. I didn't really expect them to try to talk to me after that for a while. I wouldn't want to be near me either, I was still covered in his blood.
The worst thing was that I didn't feel anything. No guilt sadness, or regret. His death was only logical. He was a threat to the client and my teammates. I wasn't anywhere near strong enough to capture him alive, my skills were only at mid to high genin level. What else was I supposed to do? He wasn't my friend, I didn't know him, he didn't belong to Konoha. He was just a man. A man that happened to get in the way of our mission. The correct thing to do was to kill him, right? (I had to get used to it, if I wanted to accomplish my goal.)
I was just scared that I felt nothing. Will I feel like that next time, or the time after that? What if I die on this mission? (Shut up and get used to it.)
After a while I heard Kakashi-Sensei walk over to the tree I was sitting under. I felt him ruffle my hair until I swatted his hand away. I looked up at him, he had a tired eye smile on his face. His orange book was out too. He was almost acting completely normal, like nothing had ever happened. I was silently grateful for that, that was the best way to comfort anyone in this situation.
"Do you still want to continue this?" He asked in a low voice, careful to not let Naruto and Sachi overhear.
I nodded silently before grabbing his hand as he helped me stand up. I was going to complete this. I wasn't going to try and save Zabuza and Haku. I didn't doubt for a second that they could both kill me before I even could be able to warn them about Gato.
I sighed as we walked back to the rest of team 7 to get back into the guarding formation with Kakashi-sensei in the back, Sachi on the left, Naruto on the right, and me in front.
"We'll be stopping to set up camp in a few hours, alright?" He chirped while ruffling my hair again. I nodded put didn't swat away his hand, my hair was already messy anyway. I wasn't ever going to admit that enjoyed getting head pats anyway.
I sighed as I came out from the woods, relieved to have finally put on some new clothes that weren't covered in blood. I wordlessly sat down next to my bff and tiredly leaned onto his shoulder. He didn't react other than patting my head, trying to mimic Kakashi-sensei. I glared up at Naruto, only to get a wide toothy grin in return. It was impossible not to smile around the orange ball of sunshine and happiness. I gratefully accepted an onigiri from Sachi who sat on my right and tried to eat it slowly but failed. I was so freaking starving. We all stared at the slowly dying coals in front of us. (We couldn't light a fire incase another enemy ninja could be near us.)
We all decided that we would watch the camp in shifts, Naruto first, Sachi second, me third, and Sensei last.
"Don't fall asleep out there." I slyly grinned at him, folding my arms behind my head.
"Ha! As if a future Hokage would ever do something like that!" He retorted before oh so maturely sticking out his tongue. Sachi and I laughed. To be honest, Sachi was actually a pretty cool dude. After a while he wasn't so crazy about his crush and started acting more normal around me.
We didn't set up tents because there was no need to when it wasn't raining. I didn't mind though, we had a beautiful view of the stars. It looked even better than it would in the country from before we didn't have much pollution in this world. I think star gazing is better than cloud watching, not that cloud watching isn't bad. I remember from back when we were all still in the academy Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and I would sneak out of class when Iruka-sensei wasn't paying attention to watch clouds. The sky was pretty.
I glanced over at Kakashi-Sensei who was still wide awake, reading his... book.
'Doesn't it hurt his eyes to be reading in the dark.' I wondered as I stared at what I thought was a planet in the night sky.
Sensei let out a girly sounding giggle before gleefully turning the page. I sweatdropped.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei? What is that book even about?" I questioned, actually curious.
"Maa, I think you're to young to know that." He answered with a mysterious and slightly annoying eye smile.
"How are you even reading in the dark?"
"Secret."
I huffed before rolling onto my side. The last thing I heard before falling asleep was him chuckling in amusement at my frustration.
Squelch
I watched in silent horror as my kunai exited his neck from the other side, blood splattering everywhere again. I watch his brother look at me in pure hatred and the horror in Naruto's face as he looked at me like I was someone else and wasn't me.

I winced as I heard Sachi's horrified scream from behind me. I watch as the life faded from his eyes, his body hit the flood with a loud thump, blood pooling out from underneath his already cooling corpse.

I woke up.
I sat up with a scream still caught in my throat, covered in my own sweat. It was time for my shift.
'Thank god.'
I quickly stood up and stumbled to where I was supposed to be watching camp. I nodded at Sachi in acknowledgement before sitting down on a tree branch. Everything went smoothly, nobody was nearby. A few hours past by until Sensei sat next to me, relieving me of my duty to watch over the camp.
I glanced up at him before unconfidently staring at the ground. Not that I could actually see the ground clearly with how dark it was out side.
"Sensei, do you ever get over killing someone?" I asked in a small voice.
He suddenly looked ten years older. The next five minutes were spent in uncomfortable silence, with me still staring at the suddenly interesting forest floor, him silently watching over camp.
"No, Chibi-chan. You never do." He said in a serious tone, before ruffling my hair. I didn't question the new nickname as I leaned against his shoulder. I didn't want to go back to sleep if it meant having nightmares. But I knew Sensei would protect my teammates and I. He sighed tiredly before wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
"Troublesome genin."
I didn't have another nightmare for the rest of that night.
So did you like it? I still suck at writing angst. I tried to write fluff at the end though UwU. I edited the all the other chapters. No major changes, but I would appreciate if you would reread them! :)
Please leave a review and tell me what you think! Thank you for reading and stay safe! No but seriously wear a mask. There are no ICU beds available for people in Southern California and people are literally dying while waiting for a hospital bed. Covid-19 is real. One of my classmates even had it. They're fine now (thank god) but this just shows how real it is and how much danger I didn't even realize I was in. Nurses and doctors are dying out there and are being overworked for us just because some people decided not to wear masks. It doesn't have to be this way as long as you wear a mask!
Ja ne!
