I wondered through town with my scroll curious to how much I can fill it up.

Walking into a musty store, smelled of old clothes but I needed a sleeping bag from here, I held the rolled up bag in my hands curious at how it was exactly like the ones from home, the small similarities between our worlds confuse me.

I moved out and went to buy more clothes just in case mine get destroyed again.

I then stopped in at the weapons shop and moved to chat with Sting and replace and sharpen my weapons, I was happy when he looked up at me with recognition. "You." His scratchy voice spoke as a giant smile crossed my face. "Ah you seem to have a different way about you now." He spoke in his deep gruff voice as he looked me over while sitting in his chair.

"Do I?" I was interested but I don't feel different.

"You still looking for a weapon?" His eyes scanned my body, curious as to what he sees.

"I am about to go on a mission, so I don't have time to learn but when I get back." I spoke with happiness. "I am here to get new weapons." I pulled off my pouch.

He looked at my dull kunai and filled my bag out with new ones and a few small shuriken, I don't know how to use the later but why not trust a weapons master, I thanked him with a smile paid and left.

I was almost done as I moved to get some food and a bunch of smokes unsure how long I will be gone for. I stood outside the grocery store as I dug my hand inside so interested in how there is still so much room and yet I can find what I want by touch so easy.

This is amazing.

Slightly lost again I just wondered the busy district, I have everything I need as I looked around for something I may not have thought about.

Passing a big pink building as a post out front said library, I looked up at it with a smile. "Here it is." I wanted to peek inside as I walked into the door, the smell of old books wafted into my nose making a big smile cross my face as it has been years since I was even near one as the internet was a much easier way for information.

With the amount of books in here I will not find a water jutsu quickly, looking at the reception desk and no one was there.

Knowing I have no time for this I turned around and went to find my way to where I will meet my team.

I was unsure if I was late, landing in the meeting spot there was Hayashi lying in the grass with his hands behind his head and Kuro was no where to be seen making me happy I am not to late. Standing by his head blocking the sun I looked down at him. "I guess you like to be early huh?" He smiled eyes still closed.

I sat down next to him, the sun was so bright when I lied down I shut my eyes and blocking it with my arm.

I could see four chakra's. Hayashi who was next to me and three small balls, very faint and far into the treeline. Curious as to how far my sense's range was I quickly got on my feet and headed there way.

I squatted in a branch as I watched them, I recognized these kid's from my fail transformation, the boy with a dog was sparing the girl as the creepy one with glasses leaned on a tree.

Hayashi was next to alert. "what is up?" He asked quietly I seemed to have startled him with my fast movement.

"Nothing." I whispered back. "I guess my chakra range is bigger, I just had to see who was nearby." Watching the kids they did not notice us there yet but if I stayed long they probably would.

Spinning on my feet I moved back to our spot as he followed. "You can see chakra?" I gave him a look, I thought everyone talked about me.

"Not to well." I mumbled. "Honestly its probably close to a normal ninja, you guys have great senses."

"Well what do you see?"

I Thought about how to explain it. "Well" I spoke while sitting back on the ground. "I see balls of blue, sometimes I can almost see the heart in them."

He stared at me, with a look on his face that he was deeply thinking. "Thanks to Iruka I am able to almost get the exact area they are in but I am still off."

"No, that is something ninjas don't always see, some do but it is a rare thing." He sat back down next to me and his scroll. "That can be used." He just lied back down, eyes closed.

"Okay, that is cool." I spoke with glee in my voice, I might not be completely useless. "My range is not to far, just to let you know." He nodded when I laid next to him and closed my eyes again.

"I am still a little sluggish today." I spoke quietly, He made a hmm sound, I guess he is feeling the same.

I just watched the chakra's move around, just focusing on this skill trying to read at how they fought from here, when they stopped and one traded with the guy on the tree, not sure what one, then only one moved around as the other stood in place.

Because I was paying attention to the blue dots I was startled as a strong ball came right at us, my body reacted as I jumped onto my feet into a defensive stance startling Hayashi who was then next to me alert again.

Kuro was suddenly a few feet away looking confused.

Hayashi looked at me and with a bit of a laugh. "You startled me again." He just flopped back down, like he was done with this day.

The mission was to watch a travelling merchant caravan that was heading to a big town about a weeks walk away, there is some kind of festival they need to sell there wares at and there is a high risk of bandits.

Hayashi whispered to me that probably nothing will happen and I should not be worried.

The caravan sells a bunch of different things, homemade jewelry, Herbs they find and collect and some homemade wooden nick knacks for home or toys. They are all homemade by them but also have some basic booze and some cool snacks they also sell.

I was worried but the excitement of leaving this village overshadowed it.

Meeting the people there was seven. One older lady about 65 she had smile lines and looked very friendly. A lady and her husband both around 30 and looking at each other like teenagers and there son who seemed about age seven. There was very pretty girl about our age who could not stop eyeballing the boys on my team. A second guy about 30 with a drink in his hand and a scowl on his face, he looked like an ass. And the last was the angry guys older sister she was pretty, thin and quiet and was whittling some piece of wood.

They told me their names but because its me, it just flew right out.

We moved down the road slowly when we came to the giant open gates, the biggest doors I have ever seen I was in awe as we passed through them, we stood in a way Kuro suggested. Hayashi was on the left side and Kuro on the right as I walked behind them all.

I peered into the forest, the tree's were double the size of the ones in the village but still not the size I remember. Peering around the caravan the road looked endless as the hot sun bore down on us with no wind. Thanks to the large tree's there was many shadows alone the way.

We walked for ages as I walked alone back here, I could hear voices but they were to far to understand. I wished for my phone and music feeling bored and alone. The sun moved through the sky as I tried to figure where north was so I could tell the time without a clock.

Eventually we made it to a fork in the road and went to the left, by the sun I think it was south. It was a thinner road and the tree's were getting much bigger making me smile as I stared in awe, these may be the ones I remembered.

The tree's started to shade the full road and peering into the forest it was so dark and beautifully creepy. I wanted to just climb them and see how far they really got. Hayashi looked my way with a smile seeing my amazement. He gave this smile that just said "just wait" I smiled back unsure what is coming that is more amazing then this.

The tree's could easily hide people within it so I tried to use my sense even if it was useless.

The road got thinner bringing me closer to other people. I could hear the conversation but could not be part of it. The sun was coming to a set when I heard Kuro speak and everyone stopped. The angry man unhooked the animal and tied it to a small broken branch, I guess we are stopping for the night

Other's pulled out sleeping bags and set up camp, I waited for instruction.

Not sure what to do I sat down, my body relived as I wished for car's If I knew how to make stuff from my world I would be rich.

Kuro sent me to get wood with the lady and her husband so I followed them into the woods. They put wood in my hands as we walked, I got a better look at the giant trees, still looking around in awe. They were pretty densely packed for having such big trunks but these are definitely the same type of trees I remember, I was looking for kindle and realized the big logs they are putting in my arms there wont be any small branches.

I just let them deal with the wood and I kept my eyes and ears open, wondering how to light a fire without real kindling. We got enough and went back to the group, after making a fire pit Hayashi started it with a fireball jutsu.

Oh, yup I am dumb.

Everyone was putting down sleeping bags as I jumped to a branch a bit above us, so wide I could sleep on it, Kicking my legs over the side I watched as they all sat around the fire so I decided to climb the tree, see how high they really go.

I moved slowly higher and higher but it was not ending as I was getting pretty up there so I just sat down and looked around, the dark and creepiness made me shiver with a big smile on my face at the darkness.

Kuro's chakra came at me fast and he was beside me in a second, no emotion on his face as he sat down. "I have never seen such big trees." He made no noise, just looked into the forest in a moment of silence.

I was done exploring about to go back down. "You were found not far from here." That stopped me.

I looked at him, confusion in my face. "Really, how do you know?"

He looked at me, still emotionless. "I found you, I thought you knew that."

That made me lean against the trunk. "No, no one ever told me anything about that." I looked at curious, I wanted to laugh. "Do you know what happened to my pants?" He looked at me noticing the look on my face and smirked.

His silky voice. "No."

I was slightly embarrassed but mostly just found it funny, I asked. "What about my shoe?"

"No." He also had a bit of laughter in his voice.

"I loved those shoes." I mumbled. I looked down at the endless darkness. "I wonder if it is still around?"

"So what happened, do you know?"

He was back to emotionless. "No, but me and teammate were getting back from a failed mission and found you."

"So glad I had underwear on." I mumbled, I saw him smirk again. "Wait, you were hurt?" I slid down the tree and sat both legs over the branch. "Did you get me to the village with a broken arm?"

"Actually a broken arm, a few ribs, sprained foot and a couple burns." This time I could here his cockiness in his voice. A part of me wanted to call him out, but also so thankful.

"Thanks, I guess I never thought of you because you did not recognize me."

"You were really dirty, your hair was black."

"Hmm, that is odd." I was so dirty my hair was black?

My face drained a little, he saw it. "I did not see anything important." He sighed.

"No, its just someone washed me." That made him smirk again.

We sat there quietly, with an air of laughter even if we did not speak or make a sound.

Eventually we jumped down and joined the group by the fire. Sitting around the fire with everyone I would close my eyes a few times and look around every so often, I did noticed the girl our age was flirting with Hayashi and for once it went right over his head, normally he's right on the ball.

She also made eyes at Kuro, now he knows what's up.

I yawned as the old lady sat next to me. "I just wanted a look at your necklace." Her sweet old voice was kind as she picked it up in her wrinkled hand while it still sat on my neck. "It is beautiful, Did you make it?"

"No." I smiled. "I bought it, it's one of my few things from home." I saw Hayashi look over for a moment before talking with the flirty girl again completely blanked on her flirts.

"I have never seen anything like this."

"It was pretty cheep, it is not real gold or anything."

She nodded and looked closer at it. "I wonder if Kya could do it." She called over the wife lady, I guess that's kya, then I had both of their hands on my necklace wondering if maybe they could remake it, I hope they can, I do love this necklace.

When some of them started to go to sleep, I just jumped back up to that branch and sat there leaning on the trunk, not to long after Hayashi sat beside me "I am on watch first if you want to sleep" I was tired, I figured why not.

"All right, wake me."

Pulling out my bag I picked a spot near the fire with no rocks or roots, the ground was hard but the fatigue of walking for about five hours hit me and I passed out pretty quick. I was worried about watching, I kind of hoped they would not wake me.

"Ava." Someone whispered, I opened my eyes, Kuros face was right in mine startling me, making him smirk again. "It is your watch."

Hmm. "Ok." I slowly got out of my bag, stretched and jumped to the branch. He looked at me emotionless and a little to long making me uncomfortable. So I adjusted myself and leaned against the trunk with my feet hanging over. Closing my eyes, I was sleepy so it was nice but also gives me a look at the chakra.

It was quiet and yet so loud, the normal sounds of nature are awesome. Because I was so nervous being the only one looking out for everyone I payed attention to every noise, some would make me jump slightly. I know there is probably some crazy animals out there, so I was glad it mostly just crickets and normal noises. Looking up was nothing but branches making me a little sad I can't see the sky.

I just chilled there until I needed to add logs to the fire.

I feel like a ninja, In the my world sense, hiding in a dark tree, knives on my thigh. I find it funny that they are called ninja and sometimes it makes sense and then it does not, like the power they wield and some don't even sneak.

I was pulled down with nerves when one of the caravan people rolled over and started to snore, I just smiled and closed my eyes again, listening, watching, half asleep.

I can feel it!

My eyes shot open, the forest, it is waking up. I was loving this strange feeling, ten minutes later the birds started to chirp. Closing my eye's again with a yawn I watched the chakra's of my team and the weaker normal people when Kuro's gave a weird spark making me look down at him in confusion. I watched him stir as he sat up and looked around before he looked up at me.

Maybe a bad dream?

Then he was next to me, quickly and silent making me worry again. I doubt I could truly feel if a ninja came at us fast, pulling me wide awake again. We sat in silence on that branch his legs over just one side looking down at the people. "You did not sleep long." I whispered.

"I don't need to." He said calmly.

The kid stirred awake, I watched as he grabbed some wooden toys from the caravan, sat down and played with them quietly. I never knew any kid that was that considerate. I would have talked to him but he seemed fine, besides I don't do kids. I just kept an eye on him while also on the forest.

"How was your first watch?"

Stretching my back and arms. "Pretty decent, the night was so peaceful."

We watched the sun start to shine in the trees as the caravan slowly woke up. I watched the old Lady pull out some food as Hayashi pulled out a small pot filling it with water, my love grew for him as he pulled out some instant coffee.

It was nice sitting in silence with Kuro when the old lady called us down for some food.

We were back to walking slowly. We only had two short breaks for a couple hours of walking, I would complain but the kid did better then me. The angry man however had a lot of things to say, out of the ones I actually heard. The air is to hot, the birds are to loud and my favorite, my booze is gone.

I would close my eye's and walk trying to make my sense work but it was just us.

They got louder and the air shifted, curious I tried to look around the caravan. There was some kind of shop coming up. I was still to far to know what it was but everyone was excited for it.

It is a road stop.

There was a bit of people here but I was happy for a chance to eat and sit. When we pulled up they opened the caravan to sell to strangers. This was a cute spot, it had room inside but also some tables outside, with a friendly atmosphere.

I got some food and after a break I wondered over to see what they actually sell. I went straight for the jewelry, they had some cute stuff and well made. The prices were slightly steep but sometimes that is homemade. I think they could easily make my necklace.

What's her name came up to me, the jewelry maker, Kya and grabbed something to show me. It was a small feather shape ring, almost like my necklace but can tell it is handmade. Just a brown color with no gem but I loved it. It was a decent price so I bought it, souvenir for my first real mission.

When I pulled out my wallet she lost her shit. "You have the best things." She grabbed it out of my hand.

I laughed. "That is also homemade, like your stuff." Her eyes got big. "Really, I love it, may I open it." I nodded.

Nothing useful but money in there now, they don't carry anything like my ID's here, so she was a little confused but amazed. She called over the granny and they had a fun time looking at it.

They use money pouches here, they have nothing like my wallet.

Hayashi came over. "They just love your stuff?"

I smiled. "If you ever see an angry llama wallets, you know where it came from."

"What are the cards in there?"

"Just things from my world, I cant just get rid of." That interested him and he wandered over amazed by my wallet and cards. They talked about how the card packets are new and interesting. They looked at all my ids with wide eyes without a clue what they were for.

"I never would have guessed." I mumbled and ate my last dongo while admiring my new ring on my hand.

"Are you sure you should just let people look at that?" Kuro's silky voice startled me a tiny bit.

"What, should I not?"

"I don't know." He said, a little paranoid but who knows he is smarter then me.

I went and asked for my wallet back, just told them I wanted food. They agreed happily and let me take it away. "Happy." I whispered walking past him to buy more food shaking my wallet at him.

It was not long until we were back walking again. I have never walked this much in my life. We headed down a second fork in the road the tree's spread out again and the road got wider. About two hours later the trees started to spread out and we came onto an open field, the wind coming through was so satisfying.

I did not notice how hot I was until it cooled me down from my sweat. The smell was wonderful, like flowers and grass making me sniff my shirt curious if I stink. We walked back into a thick forest when I could smell water on the air making me peer in the forest curious as to where it was.

It was still some walk when the forest opened up to a large lake, tree's surrounding it making me pause at it's beauty. there was a large cliff side where a pretty waterfall came poring into it. It was big enough to have a beach. They group pulled into the grassy area around it making me smile excited to stop here for the night.

I looked over Hayashi was smiling at me like he knew I would be taken away at this place. He was right the tree's around made this one of the best places I have ever been, I forgot all about the annoying walking and fell back in love with this world.

I was hot, sweaty and stinky that I want to go get soaked but I was sent to get wood with Kuro and the old lady as the rest set up for the night. Kuro was the muscle as she also wanted to show me herbs to pick. I enjoyed her sharing her knowledge with me.

If he was annoyed you could never tell.

Out of nowhere she farted, loudly. I was shocked that someone that small could produce that very loud noise and because it was in a silent, peaceful place and she just kept tottering on, totally oblivious. I was trying to keep my laugh inside of me, I was bent over using a hand to hold myself up on the tree, making wheezing noises.

Looking at Kuro, he was also leaning on a tree holding onto the wood, seeing his face just made me wheeze harder as we looked at each other.

His cool exterior was gone as he tried not to laugh, a smirk on his face, eyes shut, love how it is funny in both our worlds.

Took a minute but after we got a hold of our selves, tears down my face, we gathered the wood and brought to the camp and I was free to swim. I ditched as much as I could while still being covered, running across the water I jumped in when I hit deep water and just floated there.

I was not alone as a few stood in the shallow water. The husband, wife and sister were laughing together. The flirty girl was as naked as she could be without being naked and stood knee deep trying to show off her body but man she was pretty. She will definitely get the eyes of the boys, another girl to make me feel inadequate. I put my face halfway into the water and blew some bubbles.

The old lady and angry guy stayed at the camp and Kuro was leaning on a tree next to them eyes closed, listening to what I bet was all complaints. That is all he says, what's annoying, what pisses him off, he was watching ms flirty while sipping on what I take is more booze.

Kuro is very emotionless so I don't know what he really thinks of him.

Hayashi was doing something with his scrolls near the waters edge like a child filling a bucket of water, unsure what he was doing I looked up at the sky.

I swam over to the waterfall as I crashed over my head like a large shower drowning out all the noise. I was having a zen moment with my eye's closed before I saw Kuro's chakra head my way. I looked up at him as he stood on the water looking down at me fully clothed.

"Had enough of drunk guy?" I moved out of the waterfall to hear him. A part of me wanted to pull him into the water for standing there like that. I just swam in a circle around him. I closed my eye's trying to see the others with my sense but I was to far away.

Opening my eye's I was startled, he literally sat on the water as his legs were submerged. I just stared up at him in awe, that is so cool. He looked down at my little head staring at him like he was amazing and kicked me.

I wanted revenge.

I did my hand signs under the water and summoned a clone, I made it slid behind him in the waterfall so he did not see it and had it explode soaking his hair but not strong enough to completely soak his gear. I smiled as he flinched before he just stared at me and I swam back to shore a little scared.

I walked over to the fire to dry my underclothes. The old lady had set up a makeshift BBQ over the fire and was cooking thin pieces of meat. Hayashi walked next to me and handed me three small scrolls, I took them slowly confused. Looking down they had the words water on it.

"Just in case you need some water and it will make a bit of a splash."

I Smiled at him, he is so sweet. "This is amazing thank you, so useful."

"When you need more I will gladly make some." Standing up I gave him a side hug and put them in my bag scroll.

Watch went the same, Hayashi, Kuro then me.

When it was my turn I sat on the beach and looked out into the water. The wind was nice but at night it got a little cold so I had my arms wrapped around my legs. The stars were beautiful and I watched as a few falling stars burned up in the atmosphere, it still amazes me that a couple stars were so bright.

I wonder where in the universe I am? Can I see my sun?

At one point I heard a larger animal, it was not close but it put me on high alert. I sat there slightly cold when the forest was waking again, once the sun started to rise I was amazed at the beautiful colors it made.

A picture I hope I never forget.

I yawned stretching my arm's up as I walked. Back into the deep trees as the road got bigger making me close my eyes a lot to look around. I was so far away I could only hear hushed tones from the conversations.

The kid ran around me with his arms out making a noise and back to the others. I found that weird, because they don't have planes but I guess its just a normal thing kids do.

I started to hum to the beat of a song I could not remember, not what it was or its lyrics but the beat was in my head. Bored I shut my eyes again when I think I saw something pass by but I was not sure. I walked with my eye's closed and looked in that direction but I could only see my people.

I opened my eyes in a panic not sure what to do.

Hayashi slowed down and was next to me, this guy is very observant. "What's up?" Kuro gave us a glance before looking around. I told him that I think I saw something but was not sure.

He walked over to Kuro.

Kuro looked back at me and around as Hayashi went back to his side. Did he know I can see chakra? I never know what people know about me. I'm scary, stupid. I never know who thinks and knows what.

Its a rollercoaster in that town, aw man rollercoasters.

The road was wide enough for me to walk with my eye's closed a lot. I can't see anything else but it is all my worth so might as well try. Unsure how long it was when I small a tiny blue spot sitting on the edge of the road ahead of us.

Incredibly fearful I ran around the caravan quickly, making everyone stop moving and get scared.

I slid about 20 feet ahead of us, not realizing I did that all wrong.

It was a small bit in a bush on the side of the road, I closed my eyes and looked around but nothing else while my team was next to me in a blink of an eye.

"There is something with chakra in the bush." They looked close, it was a paper bomb trap with chakra in it attached to a wire that was near impossible to see. It was strong enough to knock off a wheel and hurt anyone nearby it.

"I don't see anyone."

"It is just a trap and when you hit it, it will alert them and they come." Hayashi said while looking ahead on the road

"So we will run into bandits soon then?" My nervousness showing.

Kuro whispered to me. "Don't let the client see you scared." I nodded and got a hold of my face.

"Sorry." I whispered.

Kuro defused the trap and we started walking again this time everyone was alert and quiet, making me feel a little like an ass, I had handled that all wrong. I was glad to be sitting on the caravan instead of walking so I could keep my eye's closed permanently.

I am so scared but there is two competent ninja's here.

I have never been in a real fight, I don't know if I will be any help at all. Genin's don't see fights, all a bunch of lies.

And then I felt it there was something up ahead.
