Of course this is Yuri based. If that bothers you..
why not look for something more your style.

Author's Note:

-------------------------------------

Many years ago, I made a suggestion that each team of genin should atleast have one trained medic in their group.
After the death of my brother.. I didn't wish to see all of Konoha's youth slain easily..

One man stood behind me on my idea.
His name was Dan..the uncle of my assistant.
Ever since then, we became close and realized how similar our lives were and the losses that we had suffered.

He asked me to assist his niece in becoming a medical ninja.
Looking back to those days, I can still remember that shy young genin hiding behind Dan. She was so adorable with her dark eyes and her dark hair.

In time she seemed less frightened of me and seemed to catch on quickly with what I asked of her. There were others that were trying to become medical ninjas as well but Shizune stood out among them. With only having her uncle as her only known living family member.. I could easily understand her determination.

The girl was amazing at her age and I was actually able to encourage her then. After the death of Dan.. it tore us both up..
I think after seeing his blood upon my hands after trying to save his life..made me lose it all..

My cares and concerns seemed to have disappeared.
Yet, Shizune still insisted on staying by my side..
Maybe felt like she had nobody after his death
or maybe she felt as though she owed her life to me.

No matter what it was.. I was just thankful to have her.
It sounds wrong for someone of her age to be looking after
someone of a legendary status who should have been able to take care of herself.

Sometimes I had no will power just urges..
I was constantly drinking, gambling, losing my temper.
There has been times where I have lusted..
Shizune caught me taking care of that problem before.

Considering how I felt at that moment..
I wouldn't have mind her staying in there with me.
She is very pretty and rather sweet..

When she isn't bossing me around or whining about things.
