"Hey, mom, where's Bithiah?" Our house is full of guests as families and friends from our local community are celebrating our religious holiday but someone is missing. My sister, my beloved little sister, where is she?

"She's drinking again." That damned girl I swear to God she's going to hell if she keeps this up. My sister is the kind of person that is broken inside and outside. I don't know how and I don't know why. But the sister I raised 10 years ago is gone.

"Drinking? Where is she?" I tried to say it calmly but clearly failed? For the last 5 years, we have had our arguments. Sometimes it's big and sometimes they are minuscule. But I do it to help her.

"It's useless Ahmed, she's not going to listen to you." My mother said, with a sad expression that can be seen from her. "That girl is hopeless." Not on my watch as long as she is still my blood and my family I will always try to help her.

"Where is she, mom"

"I still don't understand why you're still hoping for that girl to turn around….. She's at her friend's house."

"Which one?"

"The girl that she introduced last month." Joana?

"I'll grab the car." Where did I go wrong with her? My sister and I do not have the greatest of relationships. I still love her dearly, but whatever happens, 5 years ago she started to see us with disgust. Calling us bigots, fools, and idiots whenever the topic of religion is being talked about. She is saying these things while being the only member of our family that has failed in life, she doesn't have any friends or even love life for that matter. Every guy that she's been close with says that she is too much. Most of them even stated that she hates men for no reason at all.

We still love her trying to get her back into our folds but she just rejected us. It's still painful seeing the look of my mother when we argue but over time she also stops caring about her. I'm the only family she has left that cares about her. That is why I will always help her.

Arriving at her friend's house I knocked on the door.

Knock

Knock

"Bithiah!"

Knock

Knock

"Bithiah, open the door" the sound of the door opening can be heard and Joana is the one that opens it.

"Oh, hello Ahmed, what are you doing here?" She said while leaning on the door frame.

"Is Bithiah here?"

"No," she said immediately. On the floor, I can see one of Bithiah's clothing.

"You're lying Joan, where is she?" I said threatening her.

"Go away or I call the cops you bastard."

"I'm not going away until I see her!"

"Go away, it's not your fucking problem."

"It's my goddamn problem because she is my goddamn! sister. And as far as I know, the only one in her own family that Goddamn! cares about her!" A sleepy voice can be seen behind Joana, and then I saw her.

"Love, who's there." My sister, my Goddamn fucking sister half-naked in someone else house, my sister whom I've raised since my father died in the war, my sweet little sister that I've cared for so much in my entire life. Is sleeping half-naked in another girl's house while calling her love. Something inside me is broken to pieces, my mind freezes, and tears start to pour, and I weep. Oh, I cried so much that day.

"How long" both of them didn't answer. "How long!!" I tried to enter the house forcefully.

"Get away you dumb bastard" seeing Joana trying to block me away from entering I pushed her way and she hits the door. My mind is blank, and confused, and doesn't know how to respond. But one thing is clear: I need to talk to her face to face.

"Bithiah why in God's name you're doing this." Tears keep flowing while Bithiah looks at me with disgust. "Why sister?" I tried to hug her but she refused.

"Why do you care!" She said angrily "aren't I the fucking black sheep of the family Bithiah this, Bithiah that, Bithiah why can't you be more like Ahmed, Bithiah why didn't you pray more or Bithiah why don't you be a good fucking little girl."

Slap

"I am no longer you brother" my most regrettable action

"I will no longer support you" even after death I still think about it

"And I will never see you again" I left the house and went back to my car while driving. I cry and cry, punching the steering wheel repeatedly. That is the last memory I have of my sister.

To this day I regretted not saying that I still love her as my sister

To this day I regretted, that we couldn't talk calmly with cooler heads

To this day I hope that I can still support her

As she is my beloved little sister

Waking up from that dream, I feel sweat all over my body. Remembering the things I've done wrong in my past life. I don't know if this is one of God's signs or is it just a dream. The line between what is a prophecy and what is a dream is non-existent. But whether it is a prophecy or not that dream has reignited my resolve to save my friends and families.

"Bithiah" just mentioning her name makes me feel saddened by it. The last time I got news about her, was from one of my friends when she was attending rehab for opioid addiction. I could've been there for her, I could've supported her, and I could have fulfilled my duty as a brother. But no, I chose to run, seeing her in that state when I visited her the last time made my mind break into pieces. I know that I can see past their relationship if we have the time to discuss it with her with a cool mind and I will support her, but I was so angry at her that I forgot that my sister is crying and confused and needed a pillar in her life, and for years that pillar is me even if we argue a lot I still support her. But now the pillar in her life has left her. no wonder she went into drugs to ease the pain. "What a dutiful brother I am."

What if I have to repeat my mistake, what if I have to choose between our lord and the one I love. Just thinking about it made me want to cry. "To serve my lord or to save my family."

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful May you hear my prayers. I've been loyal to you for a thousand days." Feeling lost, I asked God as that is the only thing I've done when this happens.

"Give me a sign to find enlightenment in the darkest day of life, how can I abandon my family, how can I abandon the things I love to serve you." I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made with my sister. I want to change, I want to be better, and I don't want to sacrifice the one I love to serve my lord. But my duty is still my duty to him. I will always try to serve him in the best possible way.

"Please answer my prayers for I am one of your chosen, give me enlightened me with your glorious light. As you are all all-knowing and caring." But at least I hope I will not sacrifice them to serve him.

"Please hear me"


Later

"Naruto, you're late," Sakura said. The two of them, Sakura and Satsuki, are waiting in front of the mission center. Sakura is irritated and Satsuki….Satsuki is just Satsuki aloof as always.

"Sorry, I was havi-"

"Bad dreams?" I looked to see Satsuki seeing me with a concerned face.

"Yeah, how do you know?" Her eyes darted to her left.

"You have the same look as me when I wake up."

"Oh," an awkward silence. "So has Kakashi Niisan arrived yet?"

"Yep," the back of my head suddenly feels like being hit by a finger. " and call me sensei Naruto."

"Sensei, you're late again." An irritated look can be seen from Sakura.

"Sorry I was talking to an old friend of mine."

"Hmm, a guy or a girl?" Sakura asked

"Both" he's visiting rin again " well, my cute little students. Welcome to the Konoha mission center," Niisan said while opening the door. Inside the mission enter shinobi and non-shinobi alike can be seen manning the desk, paper pusher in a rush, and clients that are trying to make a mission order.

"Why are there non-ninja here? Manning the mission desk."

"It's cheaper." she looked at me questioningly "ninja is the greatest resource a hidden village has at their disposal. Making them work in a desk job is unlogical when you can make them take missions for the village." A look of understanding can be seen from her and then confusion.

"How do you know about this information, Naruto?"

"The Konoha elder taught me." She seems more confused when hearing my answer.

"But, why is Iruka sensei in the mission center?" Hm, that is true, why is Iruka here?

"Team 7 requesting a mission request." Said Niisan. Iruka sensei seems surprised by our presence.

"Ah, team 7, nice to see the four of you." He said jovially. "Let's see, hmmm, ah here it is a request by Mikoto Urabe to pai-"

"We'll take that one," Niisan said immediately

Iruka hearing this raised an eyebrow. "I haven't even finished the mission description yet."

"I want to surprise my students," he said with an eye smile.

"You're an evil person Kakashi-san. Sigh, any questions from the three of you? Knowing this is your first assignment." I raised my hand.

"Yeah, why are you here sensei aren't you an academy instructor?" I asked sensei. seeing a ninja from a whole different branch is rare in Konoha, especially during peacetime.

"you notice that naruto? Well, let's just say I Lost a bet and a mixture of most of the academy instructors are on holiday after graduation and waiting for the new semester year."

"So you just draw the short end of the stick?"

"Basically, yeah." He said in embarrassment. 'poor you.'

"Well, enough chit chat let's go." Said Niisan

"Well, bye sensei uhh happy writing the report in the opsec1 reporting sheet, you're going to need it." A gloomy look can be seen from him. That piece of paperwork is hell to write, I know from experience when helping Jiji with his paperwork.

"Thanks, naruto, sigh."

"Opsec1 reporting sheet? What's that?"

"It's better for you not to know about it, Satsuki. Trust me."


"How is this classified as a freaking mission!" Sakura said angrily while punching a half-painted fence repeatedly.

"I don't see any problem with this. And careful Sakura, you're going to destroy the fence." I said while painting the fence happily. It's quite relaxing. Just stroking the brush up and down feels like watching those satisfying youtube videos.

"Shut up, Naruto! Why are you enjoying this? We could be training right now." She said angrily "look even Satsuki's annoyed." She said while pointing at Satsuki.

"Just stop arguing and finish painting the fences. I'm sick and tired of hearing the two of you arguing and complaining." Said Satsuki.

"Well, I have no complaints except for the heat, but that's the work of God so I'm not complaining that much."

"Why do you believe in one God, Naruto? You sounded like one of those western continents missionaries."

"Hm, oh I don't know I just have a feeling that we have one God in this world, and by feelings I mean dreams," And by dreams, I mean knowledge of the future. "Why do you ask, is it bothering you?"

"Kinda. It's just weird, you know, seeing a monotheist in the east. most people in the eastern continents are polytheistic."

"What about you Sakura?"

"Oh, me. I'm not that you know"

"Believe in God?"

"Yeah, the whole religion thing doesn't make sense to me." So she's like my sister. another list of people I have to add in my prayers. "What. Is it bothering you that I'm an atheist?"

"No, I'm not going to force my belief on you." Especially remembering what happened to my sister. "What about you, Satsuki?"

"The Uchiha clan traditionally still practiced the old Shinto god's religion, I still believe that they still exist, I just don't worship them anymore." She said

"You mean Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and that kind of stuff?", her body tense when I spoke the name of the gods in the Shinto religion pantheon.

" don't you ever say those names again!." she looked at me angrily. 'Why? I just started sta-oh. She still has trauma when hearing it.'

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok it's not your fault, that monster should be held responsible." She started to abandon praying to her gods because of trauma.

"Sensei, why do ninjas have to do D-rank missions."

"Hmm, Naruto, explain why we ninjas have to do D-rank missions." I looked at him in disbelief. While he just lazed around reading that porn book of his on top of a tree branch.

"But you're our sensei."

"I know," he said

"Isn't it your responsibility to teach us about this kind of stuff?"

"Yep, but you already know the reason, and it's a good opportunity for you to have experience with this kind of stuff in the future." Lazy bastard

"Alright, official or unofficial?"

"Official" wow, he is evil.

"Alright, sakura. The reason why ninjas, specifically genin, have to do D-rank is that it builds trust in the civilian populace, gives us skills so we can infiltrate enemy territory, and finally familiarize ourselves with the inner workings of Konoha so we can write and do other administration works becoming more efficient." Oh God did I just say that.

"Naruto" Satsuki looked at me

"Yeah?"

"That's fucking bullshit!" Satsuki said

"I agree with Satsuki. You sounded like you're reading a script."

Both of them glared at me. It's all your fault Niisan. "Tell us the real reason or you're going to have the fanboy treatment." Oh God, no.

"Alright, alright, sigh. The main reason why Genin do D-rank missions is mainly because of revenge and discipline."

"Explain," said Satsuki

"The thing is the village knows that the D-rank mission is kinda useless so both the village elders and the civilian council tried to remove it from the system because it's useless, too expensive for the village to run because of damage repairs done by the genin," I looked at sakura. and she looked away in embarrassment. "How expensive the cost of hiring a ninja both for the village and civilians because of the administrative problem, paperwork for those missions is honestly tedious, and finally the work done by the genin is abysmal. But…"

"The older ninja oppose it because of pettiness."

"Yep, so the village cut a deal with the jonin unions." Imagine a workers union but 0,0000001% more menacing. "So they cut a deal with the village so that only civilian council members will be annoyed by us." Not all of the civilian council members are bad people you know, some of them can be sweet people like granny Urabe and her husband Tsubaki. Granny Urabe is making tea for us right now. "For free"

"Wait, Who's the Jonin union leader?" Hearing Satsuki's question I point at a certain lazy jonin.

""Sensei!!"" Both of them yelled at Niisan.

"Hmm, yeah?"

"Why did the jonin union oppose banning the D-rank missions for genin!!!!" Satsuki said angrily while Sakura nodded in agreement.

"Why not," he said lazily

"That's it I'm gonna fucking kill him." Sakura jumped toward Niisan with fury.

"Calm down, Sakura," I said while holding her down.

"Naruto, let me go. I want to hit that one-eyed bastard." Same

"Well, at least when I'm hokage, I'm going to ban it." Both Sakura and Satsuki looked at me.

"" no/absolutely not"" said both of them at the same time.

"What, why? I thought you guys would support me in this one."

"If I have to endure this shit my children and my children's children would have to do the same." Said Satsuki

"And that's what the majority of jonin felt like when the announcement of banning D-rank was proposed," said niisan

"The cycle of hatred will never end if things stay this way."

" shut up, naruto." Said Satsuki

'What did I do wrong this time?' Continuing painting the fences I picked up the brush and started painting. 'I was just trying to help you know, grumble, grumble.'

"Naruto, you're pouting again." I didn't respond and kept on drawing.

"No more pizza for you."

"What! Naruto, I'm sorry." just keep painting, just keep painting. "I'll treat you to ramen for 2 days."

"5"

"3"

"We have a deal"

"Sensei, how long do you think they'll realize?" I whispered

"2 seasons and 1 movie"

"So 2 years"

"Yep"

The four of them are walking toward the Hokage tower after the "mission" is done. Councilor Urabe also gave them some food and tea.

"You're right Naruto, it is quite relaxing," Sakura said

"See, I told you " he's a weird guy but in a wholesome way.

"Councillor Urabe is also a sweet old lady and her tea is so good." Unfortunately, not all councilors are like that. "Right, Satsuki." Sakura Nudge her.

"Huh, yeah" she seems to be looking at someone. Sakura, seeing this, raises an eyebrow and proceeds to find what Satsuki is looking at. 'Naruto?, holy shit Satsuki is looking at Naruto.'

"Hey, Satsuki, why are you looking at Naruto?" Sakura whispered

"Huh, I don't know" she's the gullible type both of them are. "Hey Sakura, can I ask you a question."'

" yes"

"Is sharing a drool romantic?" Sakura seems to be taken aback by Satsuki's question.

"Why do you ask that question, Satsuki?

"Well, councilor Urabe told me that's how she found her husband." Sakura, seeing this grabbed Satsuki's shoulder.

"Satsuki, whatever you don't ever exchange your drool with your crush." Satsuki hearing this just nods.
