Hehe! Yesterday was a fun day. It was my birthday! Tou-san got me a katana, something I always wanted. The best part was, it was black! Awesome! That's very rare. Kaa-san was a little nervous and upset at Tou-san for getting me a weapon, when I'm only six. But hey, we're a family of ninjas, I need weapons! It would be totally different if we weren't ninjas, but we are. I had to reassure her that I would be fine. Another good thing is that the villagers didn't mess with me the WHOLE day. Not even glares. That made me so happy! Now, I'm finally the age I'm suppose to be when I entered the academy. I'm the same age as everybody else. We're still in our first year of the academy right now, so nobody is a year older or younger than anybody else right now.
Its been 3 months since my little 'incident'. I've been watched like prey for the last 3 months. I can barerly go to the bathroom without getting watched. Ew! Yamato-senpai has been watching me the whole time. I call him Yamāto just to make him leave. It doesn't work, though. The thing is, he isn't in nearby tree watching me. No, he's directly behind me! Tou-san why do you have to be so mean?!
Except for today. He said I needed a day off of being watch and Yamato-senpai needs a day off, too. Yatta!
I was in the woods practicing with my katana. I was slicing the tree's branches making snow fall on me. It was hard to move my arms, though. Kaa-san made me where long pants and 2 long sleeve shirts with a short sleeve shirt under them. Plus, I had my training weights on.
"Forget this, I need to loosen up." I said.
I took off one of my long sleeve shirts and through it onto a rock.
"Ah, much better," I said stretching my arms.
I trained for the next 3 hours, getting use to the katana.
"Wo...Wow...This katana is...is amazing," I panted.
I rested a little before I started to work on my fighting techniques.
After a hour, I was getting ready to go to The Hokage Tower.
I put my katana in the holder and I putted that on my back. I was about to leave, when I heard somebody's voice.
"My, my, you grew a little from the last time I have seen you," said the voice.
"Huh?"
I turned around and my eyes widen.
"You grew a little. Last time I saw you were about 3'0. Now, your 3'2," said the voice.
"What are you doing here, Sasuke?!," I asked angry.
I put my right hand behind my back to grab the handle of my katana.
"You are the Dobe's child."
"Shut up, you teme! My Otou-san is not a dobe."
I jumped on top of a boulder and got down on my right knee. I placed my right arm over my left knee.
"Your such a coward! You'll get power when there's ANY oppotunity. Even if you're trying to get power from a jinjuriki!"
Yeah, Tou-san told me about them. There are a total of nine of them, not including me, but including Tou-san. Well, there were nine. Now, there are six of them left. The so called Akatsuki killed the first three tails in the last 2 years. They went after me, when I was four, even though I don't think I was counted as a Jinjuriki. I guess now I am. Tou-san told me that Kyuubi's chakra in me is twice as strong, than the one in him. I don't understand how. That's why the Akatsuki is after me the most.
I have to admit, I'm pretty scared for when that time comes. That's why...That's why I have to train really hard! But I know that they can't make it to me. They have to go through Tou-san first and that's not going to happen.
"Your right. I would get power anytime I can."
"Tch, that's what I thought. But do you really have to go as low, and rely on a girl who's not even double digits yet?!"
"Yes, I would rely on a 6 year old."
"You stalker! How do you know how old I am?!"
"I've been watching you for a while."
"Tch."
"Now, don't you want to be stronger?"
"Oh no. I know where this is going."
"Just answer the question."
"To be honest, I do want to be stronger. I HAVE to defeat the Akatsuki. I already hate that all of the Jinjuriki are on death roll! But I'm in no shape in fighting them now. I want to be stronger than Otou-san and Ojii-san. I'm going to be the Hokage someday! I'm going to be the strongest ninja ever! Not just in Konoha. All the five countries! Better than any ninja that ever lived!"
"Do you think you can do that at this rate?"
"Yes, I do! I know so! I'm stronger then some Genin, and I'm only in my first year."
"Ha, so naīve. You're actually the Dobe's child."
"And I'm proud of that! And stop calling my Otou-san a dobe! Its better than being coward, anyways!"
"Hn."
I turned around and began walking away.
'Such a...', I thought angrily.
"Shunshin no Jutsu."
I appeared in Tou-san's office.
"Ah, thank goodness for a quick movement jutsu," I said.
"Atsuko?," asked Tou-san.
"Oh hi, Tou-san."
"Atsuko, go back home I'm working."
"But..."
"Not now, Suko."
Bingo!
I smiled wickedly. I know how to get his attention.
"But, Tou-san, I know where Sasuke is."
He put down the brush and looked at me.
Oh yeah!
"Where is he, Atsuko?!"
"But I though you were busy?"
Tou-san got up from his chair and walked over to me. He kneeled down and placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Don't do that now, Atsuko. Now, where is he?"
"Well, I was at 'the park' and he showed up."
"And what happened?"
"He talked to me."
"What did he say?"
"He asked me if I wanted to get stronger. Knewing where it was going, I told him how strong I was going to be."
"He didn't just leave it at that, did he?"
"Not really, but I just left."
"Did you see where he went?"
"No, sorry."
Tou-san sighed. He ruffled my hair, causing me to giggle.
He got up and went back to work. I sat down in front of his desk and worked on my chakra control.
After 30 minutes, I heard Tou-san speak.
"Whew, I'm finished," he stretched.
I got up and stretched, too.
"Do you want to go to the park, Atsuko?"
"Nah, I saw too many kids."
We stood there for a moment. Then, a light bulb appeared over my head.
"I got it!"
"What is it, Atsuko?"
"You remember that sparring match you promised me, when I was four?"
"Oh yeah. You still remembered that?"
"I was never going to forget that oppotunity."
"Alright, then. Do you really want to spar with the Hokage?"
"Yes!"
He smiled. He began walking to the door, and he ruffled my hair in the process. He ran out the door and I followed.
I can't wait!
