Chapter 8: Grandparents

DREAM

I was again alone in the white room. At least I think.

"Hokage-sama?"

No, can't call him that anymore.

"Uh,er, Ojii-san?"

Nothing. Maybe this is a different type of dream.

I shrugged my shoulders.

Then, a tall well built ninja showed up. I screamed.

"Ah!"

He stood there. I slowly got in defense.

"So, you wanna play,huh?"

He didn't say anything.

"Okay, answer to the Rasengan."

Nothing. Damn, him!

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

I charged at him quickly.

"Rasengan!"

He didn't have time to move, let alone think correctly. I hit him square in the chest.

"Yeah!"

I sends him flying across the room. I shook my head.

"That was a nice jutsu, right, Minato," a sweet voice said.

I squealed. Man, I'm so easily frighten. How am I suppose to become a ninja?

"Yes. You have great speed,too," he said.

"I...uh, thank you. Just go running with training weights. And I have to run away a lot to get away from people," I told him.

"Why do you runaway, sweetheart?," ask the kind woman.

She was so kind. Just like Kaa-san. Then again, I don't think somebody will hurt a five year old girl's feeling. Ecspecially since my feelings are easily hurt. But this lady was different.

"I...er...people hate me in the village because I have the Kyuubi in me."

I looked down at my feet. I started to spin my right foot a little nervously.

"I'm sorry," Ojii-san says.

"No,no! It wasn't your fault, Ojii-san!," I reassured him.

I gasped, but not loud enough for them to hear me.

I start to cry a little.

"What's wrong, little one?," asked the sweet lady.

"Just excited. I never even knew I had Grandparents. Tou-san tells me he never knew you guys."

The lady comes over and hugs me.

"Do you know who I am," she ask.

"My Baa-san," I reply

I wasn't asking. I knew.

"What do you want to strive for when you come a ninja, Atsuko?," Ojii-san asks.

I look him dead in the eye and smile.

"I'm going to be the Hokage! I'm going to pass all of them, even Tou-san and you, Ojii-san," I said proudly.

"How do you plan to get there?"

"Today, I was going to spar with Tou-san and to see how far I was from him, but things happened. So, now I just train my butt of for the next ten years."

"Mind if I help you?"

"Really Ojii-san?!"

"Yes. I have a special jutsu that I can teach you."

"Does anybody else know the jutsu?"

"Hai. The special bodyguard does. But the way I'm going to teach you doesn't require three people."

"What is it called?"

"Hiraishin no Jutsu."

"Flying Thunder God jutsu, huh? That sounds so awesome! Will you really teach it to me?"

"Yes."

"Then, what are we waiting for, lets do this!"

Ojii-san taught me the Hiraishin no Jutsu. He gave me 5special kunais that help me do the jutsu. He also taught me how to do the seal to put on someone or an object.

Then, the floor opened up, again.

I reached my hands up, but not sure of what to help me.

I fell in the Kyuubi's room. I gulped. I'm scared.

"Time for you to go brat," she said.

"But...," I protested.

"Just be lucky I brought you here."

"Wait!"

Kyuubi sent me back to the real world. Damn her!

I awoke in my bed. Was that even real? Did I really mee Ojii-san and Baa-san?

Then, Nii-san walked in. He looked at me stunned. He ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug. Huh?

"Nii-san, what's wrong?"

"Do you not know how long you've been asleep?!"

"No."

"Kaa-san, Tou-san, Atsuko's awake!"

Both my parents ran in. Kaa-san rushed over to me and ripped me from Nii-san.

"Kaa-san?"

"Its so nice to hear your voice again!"

"What are you talking about, Kaa-san? I've only been one night."

"No it hasn't," Tou-san said.

"Then...how long?"

"You've been asleep for two days."

"I have?"

It felt like two years in my dream. Wow.

"Since you been asleep for two days, you need something in your stomach."

"Okay, but I need to get something first."

Kaa-san putted me down. Her and Akira left the room, leaving Tou-san and me. Tou-san looked at my dresser.

"You got a new kunai hoster?"

I looked over at my dresser. That's not mine.

"Yeah...I did."

Tou-san got up and left the room.

I went to my dresser. I picked up the hoster and dumped everything out onto my bed. It was the special kunais!

I guess it wasn't a dream, huh?

I quickly put my things away and went to go join my family.

We talked about how worried they were about me and what they did those two days. After, Kaa-san gave me a bath and put me to bed.

"Atsuko, please wake up tomorrow," Kaa-san told me.

"I will, Kaa-san," I promised.

She kissed me goodnight and left my room. I went to sleep. I can't wait to go to the academy tomorrow! Gotta brag, but I don't think people will believe me.

I want to dedicate this to iluvninjas. She helped me out A LOT. She gave me brilliant ideas. I also want to thank Mistress oatmeal for reviewing.
