"Swirling Moon Jutsu!"
"Siren, you idiot!"
"You'll never get away with this!"
...
...
...
...
"You'll end up just as Nenin, dead!"
"No! N-Never!"
"Agh! Deya, you-!"
"Ahhhgh! Siren, you'll pay for this!"
"You'll never be forgiven, never!"
...
I don't know what happened next... I could no longer maintain chakra to hold my eyes opened.
...
"Nen!"
"Wake up!" I opened my eyes, and sat up, while stretching my arms, yawning. While looking around, I saw a few people... Was I, in the Konoha hospital? And, what is Lady Tsunade doing here?
"L-Lady Tsunade?"
"Yes, Nenin?" She responded, in a calm voice, no trace of disappointment in her tone, despite the mission's failure.
"W-What happened?" Before she can respond to my question, Sironar interrupted her and began speaking himself.
"Nen, who's Lady Sundae? Do you know her? And are you alright?" He barged with questions, typically.
"I'm not Lady Sundae, and what do you think you are, you're not even a shinobi from his village!" She yelled, at Sironar. I'm guessing he didn't like it.
"Well..." Sironar replied, crossing his arms and closing his eyes, forming an annoyed expression.
"Lady Tsunade..." A girl with short pinkish hair and attire laid her right hand on Tsunade's shoulder. If I remember, she's Sakura. The ninja in a white coat made an "innocent" face.
"Wait, don't they have the same cheek marks?" Sakura asked, realizing our cheek marks are a symbol of the Hugeato clan.
"Well you only noticed now pink forehead girl?" Seems like Sironar's mocking Sakura, while still in the same pose.
"What did you just call me?" She shouted out loud, she doesn't have any patience today. I gasped suddenly, remembering something. Everyone turned to look at me. I removed the bed sheet covering me, and saw that my injuries are, healed...
"What's wrong, Nenin?" Sakura asked, unsure of what I made a commotion of.
"M-My wounds.. Their, their healed... Sakura?"
"It was nothing... You're healed, right?" She confidentially replied. But, there was something worrying me, who was the guy in the white cloak?
"Umm, excuse me?" I wanted to gain the guy's attention.
"Yes?"
"Just who are you?" Just before he was about to speak, Sironar cut him off, as usual.
"He's the guy that saved you! I held off Deyanira while they found us!" Everyone around the room seemed shocked, what's so shocking about Deyanira's name? He sighed lightly, but still had something to say...
"We found you on our way, but, when we encountered her, she escaped, using a jutsu that is unknown to us. I left the others on their way while I brought you here." He calmly mentioned. This isn't right, she... I can't believe she still wants to kill us. I looked down, a bit upset, but that isn't their fault.
"You, what was your name again?" Tsunade asked, directed toward Sironar.
"Call me Sironar, I'm here!" He responded, in an energetic tone, performing his trademark gesture; two hands on his forehead slanted upwards, almost like a new kind of salute.
"Okay, meet me outside, I have some questions."
"What? I can't leave my cousin here by himself!" Sironar's acting defensive today.
"Just come outside!" Lady Tsunade ran out of patience, again.
"Hmph..." Sironar did as he was told, and went outside my patient room. I turned back to the white coated ninja.
"Is he your cousin?" He asked, just to reassure the marks he saw earlier.
"Yes... Him, my sister, and I are the only ones left alive in our clan." I responded hesitantly.
"What? Only ones alive? How?" Sakura blurted out, wanting an answer.
"It's... Nothing." I replied, I don't want to make her upset, so I didn't want tell her.
"Well, don't worry; my men are at alert, but, onto a more vital matter."
"Since you graduated here in the Leaf Village again as a Genin, you've yet to be assigned a sensei."
"Lady Tsunade instructed me to accompany you as your new sensei." He explained, but he's yet to reveal his true identity, at least, in my opinion, because you don't see a white cloak and hood on someone every day.
"I see..." I replied, after many years, I'm probably one of the few Genin to graduate in the Moon Village and now here in the Leaf Village after I fled.
"Oh, but where are my manners? I am Senchō, former ANBU captain." He ended, so he was ANBU, huh?
"Nice to meet yo--" I was interrupted by Lady Tsunade.
"Nenin, your cousin's now a genin." She clearly stated. Wait a minute, he never went through the Academy in the Leaf Village, how is he a genin here?
"However, on one condition!" She added and turned to Sironar, he had a frightened expression, as if she was going to do something terrifying to him.
"Since you're already a genin in the Village Under the Moon, you'll be taking the Academy Exams tomorrow first thing on sunrise. If you pass, you'll be with Senchō."
"You got it, chief!" Sironar cheerily replied, doing his trademark gesture again, and with that, Lady Tsunade left, Sakura following.
After an hour, we both left to my apartment and he laid onto of my bed, bored.
"Awesome Nen, we're gonna be together!" He happily exclaimed, he does really seem excited about being on the same team, but only if he passes.
"So, Nen, what's the Academy Exams again?"
"You're telling me that you forgot?" He shrugged after and closed his eyes.
"Meh, probably. You couldn't tell me earlier?"
"How should I know, we met last night! Remember you blamed me for Deyanira's murders?"
"Oh yeah..."
"And didn't you take it already back at the Moon Village? It's practically the same thing."
"Eh, whatever." He placed his hands under his head as if he's sleeping. It was his Academy Exams tomorrow. It was the start of a new year too, so we can't possibly wait for him to go through the Academy again like I did. Although what I found strange is that, a former ANBU captain is now our sensei? Many questions left unanswered, with Sironar most likely asleep, I took a walk around the Leaf Village just to clear my mind off of things. Let's see how tomorrow will turn out.
