We walked passed the hot spring in silence and waited for the rest of my team. It was still pretty early, maybe around four or five AM. I thought about last night and what happened. I held the necklace in one hand and stroked it with my thumb. My dad rested his back against the tree with his eyes closed. I memorized his chakra signature along with Gingu's and my mom's. I was about to ask my dad about the Akatsuki and his old teammate, and possibly the purple chakra, but I felt some one coming. "Some ones coming" I said. He looked at me confused, then a second later he noticed the presence too. "Yea, your right." He said looking at me a little astonished that I felt it before him. I looked over and saw someone in the distance. It was Ken. I watched him become closer and closer. "Good morning" I said in a statistic tone. Ken looked at me a little confused. Usually I was always perky and cheerful, but today was different. "Good morning Kai…" Ken said a little confused. I nodded and went back to my deep thoughts and stroking the necklace. Ken smiled a wide smile when he saw me stroking the necklace. "You like the necklace I see?" Ken said happily. My dad eyed me suspiciously. "Yea…" I said hoping Ken wouldn't say anything else about it, but of cores, life is never easy. "Are you glad I bought it for you?" he asked with bright glittery eyes of happiness. My dad let out a grunting sound. I knew he knew I was lying last night, but I am sure he could see why. I blushed a little bit. "I don't know yet." I said. Ken looked at me confused. There were so many reasons why I didn't know yet. One: because if Gingu found out, she would either kill me or never speak to me again. And two: because I didn't know if this purple chakra and higher senses were good or bad. I wanted to test them. He frowned. I looked away, again going deep in thought. Why was I chosen? Why did this necklace have the ability to release this chakra? Am I going to be different? The same? What will happen? As I was asking myself this, I felt another presence draw near. Inu. "Inu's coming." I said. Ken looked at me surprised. My dad nodded a second later when he felt the same presence draw near. Once she got here, we would head out. Her signature got closer and closer, the feeling tingling in my veins. Once she was in eye distance, Ken called out to her. "OI! INU! HURY UP!" Inu was in deep thought. She looked up when she heard Ken calling her name. She waved and jogged towards up. Once we were here, my dad spoke. "Alright. Today, you guys are 'team hokage'. Shikamaru-sensei wasn't able to come; he had other business to attend to. Do you know what our mission is?" We nodded. "Alright, lets go and see what we can do!" My dad shouted. He was obviously pumped. Inu and Ken jumped in the air yelling "YEA!" I decided to stay on the ground and look at them like they were idiots. My dad eyed me again suspiciously. They landed and noticed that I didn't jump. They all looked a little confused. I just wanted to get this mission started already. I needed to test this chakra. I felt powerful. Was I? I wanted for them to stop gawking before my dad said, "Alright, then lets get started!" We walked to the gates. It was actually the first time I've ever seen the outside of the gates. They were HUGE and had on one gate 'a' and the other 'n'. Once we were out, my dad started running. We did the same. Tree to tree we jumped like the ninja we are. Even though I was supposed to stay with the team, I really wanted to jump ahead. I felt I could, but the question was: was I able to? I jumped faster. Branch to branch. Lightly and barley even touching the branch before I even moved on to another one. I soon was ahead of my dad. "Do you know where we're going?" my dad asked. I kept jumping. This new speed felt good. "No." I replied. "Then I suggest you get behind me. I slowed down to the slow pace I was going before. I let my dad pass me. Ken and Inu looked at me like I was different. I was. It was sinking in. This purple chakra was changing me.
