Special thanks to Coolestbee for encouraging me. Thank you so much.
I am so sorry for this long break. My schedules are turning really hectic lately with me deciding to join three online courses at the same time and the college. My sincere apologies for that.
Please proceed.
Present time:-
I have only been a spectator after I was brought back to my village. I did not know from when I have been calling this place my village. I have been truly passive ever since I started to look at the things rationally. Time has flown by so fast. I like many other shinobi of my village now think that protecting Konoha is the only purpose of my life.
Unlike me though, there is Naruto. The one the whole village looks at during dire times. He has a dream; a life ambition. To become the Hokage and gain everyone's respect. To be looked at as a reverential person unlike what he was seen as during his early childhood.
Now, at the age of seventeen, here we are. The three of us. No. I correct myself. The four of us as a team. Well, include Kakashi and that makes five.
Naruto has been gone for two years and four months now. He has a major heap ahead of him to jump over to ever be considered a shinobi worth the Hokage title. And recently I received his letter. It said he would still be taking some time to get a nice hold of the biiju as a jinchuriki. That means he will be away for more time than what I believed from his letter before this one. Without Naruto, I feel so lonely.
Sure Sakura, Sai and Kakashi are still around. And by that I mean, they are just around.
Sakura. Things were fine with her before Naruto had to leave. And that was all because of his efforts to pacify things. And when he left with Jiraya, Sakura just would not look at me. Whatever we had to do would be done with minimal mingling. Sai is not good with people either. But I somehow feel it as my responsibility to expand his comfort zone, which Naruto had done for me when I did not have anyone. Sai doesn't seem to have any real aims either, just like me, all there is, is to protect our home.
So that guy needs me and now, with Naruto gone I play the team glue, with everything in vain though. Kakashi is fine. But as he is not of the same age group as us, he doesn't prefer hanging out with us and so do we. So it is just me and Sai for Team 7 and Sakura, pretty much does not consider herself with us, with all the busy schedules she needs to put in enough effort to one day be a medic as great as her master, the current Hokage.
However, the thing that keeps bothering me almost every second is the rift between her and I. Just because of some differences that we expressed, we now have to live like magnets, but just put north to north.
A/N:
Next update will be soon.
Until then take care.
And please review. That's some real encouragement I need.
Thank you for reading.
