My eyes fluttered open to a bright room and a figure hovering over me. I sit up fast only to be pulled back down by the figure. "She's awake!" she yells and I squirm to be free of her grasp. "I need you to calm down. You're in a hospital. They found you collapsed outside the village and brought you here." She said firmly but calm enough to make me relax. As my eyes adjusted to the light and I looked around. This place didn't look like the hospital I was used to. I narrowed my eyes and asked her, "Where am I?"
"Konoha" she replied, "Based on the headband that you are wearing you are a sand ninja correct?"
"…Yeah…" I replied sadly.
"The Hokage has asked me to notify him when you awoke so if you don't mind I will go find him now." She smiled and walked out of the room. After she left all I had left to do was to sit there and wonder what had become of my parents. My mother had sounded so desperate I just reacted, I should have stayed and fought…..no I should have never left in the first place. I put my head in my hand and just sit there in frustration. My parents were both ninja but I can't help feeling that me being there could have helped in some way even if I was just a distraction to help them get away I could've helped. I sighed, I can't help but feel so useless…. I am such a failure as a ninja and as a daughter. I don't even know which of their Kekkei Genkai I have because it hasn't awoke in me…or maybe I don't even have one…mother has always had her Byakugan and father had access to his at age six…. I am twice that age and don't even show signs that I will ever get it.
Just as my thoughts were getting darker and darker I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up and saw an old man dressed in white and red garments with a fire symbol on his hat. I got up and quickly bowed respectfully realizing who was in front of me. He chuckled and smiled at me, "So I take it you know who I am?" he asked. I simply nodded and he continued, "Not much of a talker I see….Can you at least tell me your name?" I nodded and spoke meekly, "My name is…. Miyumi Tenseiku." "Ahh… I see.." he said and puffed on his pipe, "I took the liberty of requesting a meeting with the Kazekage..."
"WHAA?" I exclaim rather loudly with panicked eyes. He snickered and said, "I saw your headband so I called and told him that I found a young female ninja passed out outside of our village…*puff* he said he'll be here tomorrow morning… until then please have a look around the village try not to wander too far….*puff* you will sleep here tonight." He smiled and walked off still leaving me in shock.
I decided to walk off to find something to eat, I checked my wallet and I still had some money left over from what they gave me as a graduation present. I walked until I found a sign that read "Ichiraku Ramen" I walked up and ordered a bowl. While I was slowly eating my ramen I looked over and saw a blonde boy shoveling in as much ramen as he could, he kept shouting more and ate until he looked like he might explode. As if just noticing me he moved over a couple seats and started talking, "Hi there! My name is Naruto what's yours?" he grinned sheepishly. "Miyumi." I said quietly and looked down. This only caused him to inch closer to me. "That's a really nice name! Say, you think we could be friends?" he asked. "Thanks….and um…sure." I smiled at him. "I JUST MADE A FRIEND, BELIEVE IT!" he exclaimed earning a small laugh from me. He sure was kind I wonder if everyone in this village is that friendly. He talked to me for a while and told me that he was eating so much so he could get ready to take his exam to become a genin in a couple weeks. I told him where I was from but didn't mention the fact that I am only here because someone attacked my home. I said goodnight to Naruto and headed back to the hospital for a good night's rest before meeting with the Kazekage and Hokage the next morning.
