'Um, Masakhi kun, please may I be excused?' Setsuka said, as she made her way to the 'little girls room'. She got up as I replied,

'Shh… sure', I smiled and caught a truly wonderful glimpse of her natural, soft décolletage. However, I had to look away quickly in case she did catch me. I didn't want her to think I was totally like Jiraiya-sama (As a warrior, yes. But as a pervert, certainly not!)

After she came back we talked and ate some more. Lots more. Especially Setsuka. She had an impressive appetite that I simply couldn't keep up with! At the end of it all, I was ready, and reluctant to take a potentially lengthy bill. However, that wasn't to be the case.

'Im sorry sir, but you've got it all wrong. The cost of your food is actually… on the house!' I was completely surprised by the waiter's response. It seemed as though he recognised me. I was going to get my wallet out and count up the money I had, I feared that it wasn't going to be enough.

'You're the legendary Masakhi Mishima-san right? I must say you're rather brilliant! You're my idol!'

'Why thank you. But really, I'll pay for my lunch.'

'Oh no sir. I'm actually giving you the discount on request from the Mizukage herself.' I was actually quite surprised at this point. But it didn't matter. I was very lucky.

Setsuka and I took a long walk around the village. We talked about what would happen to us. Obviously I had my journey to make, but now that I met Setsuka, it was hard to know what to do.

'Masakhi-kun, you should carry on with your journey. Just promise you'll come back. I couldn't bare the thought of you not coming back! Make me this promise, and I promise I won't annoy you', she smiled and almost cried saying this.

'I promise. And…', I built up some cheeky suspense.

'And what?' she laughed

'And… you're not annoying. Trust me. Even if you were, I'd still come back for you. I love you; it's as simple as that'. We shared a soft, passionate kiss before the day died down.

Morning came and I was slow to get out of bed, still thinking about last night. I had to get back to the Leaf village, and the Mizukage arranged for me to take a ship out of the village. Setsuka and I met one last time, we talked a little. It was mainly a repetition of yesterday. But instead of a kiss, it was a hug. She placed her head against my chest, whilst her soft arms were tightly wrapped around me. It was a perfect feeling, until of course the Mizukage disturbed us.

'Hey, you lovebirds, Pack it in! The ship's gonna set sail without you Masakhi!'

We exchanged some final words, then I left for the ship feeling weak in my whole body, enamoured.

Some time had passed since we left for the leaf village. We were making good progress with the journey at sea. The crew I was travelling were some Mist genin and chuunin, who as a result of their roots were very capable of driving a ship. Despite them being slightly younger than me, I became pretty good friends with them.

We were halfway on our journey. However, our ship was then hijacked by ninja pirates. They didn't appear to be Jashin (like the last time), which meant they weren't particularly after me. Nevertheless, they started attacking weaving hand-signs left, right and center. I led the counter attack.

'Arrow: Shadow clone jutsu!' My Arrows missed!

The fighting was like this for a little while, then we realised that we were under a genjutsu!

'Release!' The Genjutsu stopped. After releasing, I realised that the genin and chuunin were actually dead on the ship.

'It's too late now… your friends are dead'. The leader of the hijackers laughed, as he then weaved some more hand signs with his crew

'Shadow clone jutsu!' Many of my clones appeared, we slaughtered his crew instantly.

I drove the ship some more, but actually this whole time I was under yet another genjutsu! I didn't realise it until I reached my final destination, which took far longer than expected. I released again, as I reached the destination, but when I did I started feeling wierd. I was dizzy, the ship was almost certain of crash-landing. When I woke up, it was like my mind was clean. I was surrounded by debris and water. I then realised, I didn't know who I was, where I was, and who were my friends. Setsuka, Naruto – everyone and everything was erased from my mind. I realised that the genjutsu gave me amnesia. My biggest challenge now was to try and get my memory and my life back…
