I sat in window dressed and ready for the exams. I sipped my coffee as I watched in wait for people to head towards the arena. I sadly had no plans so I will be going alone.

Once I knew people were heading there I jumped down and walked with them. Lost in the pack of people as we all slowly moved. Already my chakra sense was overloaded and I was starting to get a headache. Walking in with no direction I just wondered through the stone hallways unsure where to go.

Seeing a place that sold snack food and drinks, scanning it it made me miss chocolate bars and pop. Passing a blocked staircase with Anbu guarding it I walked to the next staircase and went up. There was only two random people in this section of seats as I walked to the edge and looked over the large area. Peering over the guarded area has special seats.

People started to filter in around me, soon all the seats were getting taken by strangers of all different lands. I felt nervous that I may have came to the wrong section when some leaf ninja showed up making me feel better. I noticed I was running out of a place to sit and took one next to some big man with a sand symbol.

He seemed to just ignore me as I sat quietly there.

I leaned on my legs with a yawn as this was taking forever and my headache was worse. Why is it taking so long? I was not alone as I heard many conversations on the time and some on that kid named Sasuke. Feeling Irritable I noticed a female leaf ninja looking my way. She had long brown hair but her pretty brown eyes looked at me like I should not be here, she wiped the look off her face when I noticed and acted like it did not happen.

Feeling uncomfortable, bored and shunned thinking about leaving when a higher ranking ninja with a stick in his mouth came onto the field with six kids. I recognized all of them, The redhead was far enough away he did not give me the creepy feeling like last time. Noticing Naruto was not down there and by the sounds of it Sasuke was not either.

With so much talking and cheering I could not hear the conversation going on down there.

I thought there was nine fighters?

People were sounding annoyed when Naruto literally flying into the area on his face. After a brief shock I watched him join the others with a bewildered smile.

This kid.

I was about to cheer when a second person joined the Hokage. He wore the same outfit but in blue and sat next to him, everyone shut up. It was a shocking silence, I could here far away birds. The Hokage stood up. "Welcome all!" His voice boomed from what seemed like everywhere as he spoke.

I was happy Naruto and Neji were up first, more of a chance if I need to leave I would have watched this one.

The proctor started the match and after a few tense seconds of just glaring they attacked.

My heart silently cheering on Naruto as it was still incredibly quiet but I was amazed at Neji, he was awesome with most incredible power and I was drawn into this fight. I heard a few people yell something I did not understand but the way this place was made but you could hear Naruto and Neji easy when no one was speaking around me.

My eyes never left and my shock at the power was never ending as Naruto summoned clones and the amount was just amazing, I had an urge to clap but I pushed it down and smiled.

This is a genin? I have so much to learn, I am the worst ninja.

The fight was eye-opening but what got me was the amount of talking they did. Neji started talking about his sad story, feeling like an ass because it was so sad, all I could think about was how embarrassing. How can u give your life story in front of all these people and the ones you were talking about.

Naruto said some things and I could see why Iruka liked him so much It was, Uplifting.

Neji blocked all his chakra making it seem like it will be over soon and I lost my money but Naruto was not done yet as he started to yell making me cover my mouth and stifle a laugh, I don't know why it was funny.

Then red chakra started to surround him, When the energy feeling reached me I was terrified to my core.

The very dark presence made me breath in short shallow breaths, panic rising. I looked around, some people looked shocked but non look scared, like this is normal.

I need to learn what that is.

Feeling suffocated with an urge to run, I just looked back down at Naruto but he suddenly turned into a badass, Pushing through the fear I had to watch this I can't just leave now besides I have a lot of money riding on him.

It was a fast fight and then just as suddenly the darkness faded, last in the dust Neji was standing there, breathing heavily. Feeling sadness that Naruto lost. It was about to be called when Naruto Popped out of the ground with a badass hit to his face.

I found it so amazing, Jumping up I cheered. "Naruto!" Shit ninja's are so cool. The big beast of a man beside me looked over at me with confusion as everyone cheered.

I quietly sat back down and waited for the next match a big smile on my face.

Time was moving so slowly and I was getting restless again as I shuffled my feet around but I was not alone as people started to yell, must not normally take this long between fights. I just looked around and listened and I found out it was that Sasuke's turn, the one everyone came to see but he was not here.

The guy next to me stood up to yell and he almost pushed me a bit when his towering form rose above me I gave him a slight glare that he did not see.

He was a big guy. His skin was a darker shade His hair was almost a buzz cut, he had the sand symbol on his headband that sat on his bicep next to me, covering a big scar unsuccessfully. He sat back down in a huff his elbow again almost hit me on the head I had dodged but he acted like he did nothing and I just sneered at him as he ignored me.

They ended up calling down Kankuro and Shino making him cheer and almost hit me again, I was able to dodge but I was getting annoyed. When the sand ninja said he forfeited and it enraged the bastard again as he stood up, his thick arm into my space again I gave up with a glare, he still did not look my way as I walked up and leaned on the back wall.

Finally some space.

He did not even give a look that I left, I just glared at his head, he would tear me apart but I did not care. Looked at the backs of everyone's head, no one looked my way making me feel more comfortable.

I watched as a young pretty girl literally flew down on her fan and landed with attitude. The big fuck cheered again I just gave him a small glare before looking back at the ground. Something about her I liked. Took about a minute when people started to boo again.

The boy, Shikamaru? Just fell into the ring and lied there sprawled on the ground while people threw stuff at him and again something about this boy I really liked, the whole thing made me almost laugh. Being really interested in this fight as they seem entertaining but I spoke to soon, it was the slowest most uneventful fight I have ever seen. He hid in the trees as she blew wind at him unsuccessfully, it was a standoff.

Bored and hungry I went to go find that food stand, I slipped out silently. I moved quickly so I don't miss to much, looking at what they had I have no idea what somethings were so I grabbed a bag of chips I think I would like and a drink of flavored water, wishing for pop.

I headed back but I decided to pick a new balcony, get away from those people. Walking up I just leaned on a wall again and looked around for a easy seat but the only empty ones were in the middle of people, I missed nothing in the fight and I opened my bag of chips.

I did notice pink hair and wondered if it was that girl Sakura, next to her was a blonde ponytail and then a chubby boy downing chips.

I think I know them.

Slowly eating my chips, waiting for anything to happen. I guess sometimes in a fight you need to wait, they are all not fast and deadly. Curious on how waiting pans out. I was pretty interested in both their powers, but really curious about his shadow manipulation, I wonder what happens when it reaches her.

I was feeling useless again as everyone seems to have at least one incredible ability.

I tried to eat slow but my back was empty as I looked around for a garbage can but there was none, the boy was just tossing his on the ground but I don't like to litter so I stuffed it into my scroll when something amazing happened. It seemed like nothing and yet it was the most amazing thing I saw when his shadow reached her.

He was smart and waited and his shadow was cool as they walked towards each other and she moved just like him.

I was confused when he gave up but I liked him, he was lazy and interesting and I bet he would love my world.

There was a long pause again, I just leaned on the wall drink in hand, I started tapping the 'we will rock you beat' on the wall. People were getting restless, talking and yelling again as we waited for Sasuke again. I saw the pink haired girl put her head down and the blonde tried to console her.

Oh I get it, Her friend has been missing, that is why she was sad at the festival and he is not here. Finishing my drink I put the empty bottle back in my scroll.

I spotted green to my right as I turned to see Lee and Guy walking up, he was hobbling slowly a big smile crossed my face making them smile back, Lee remembers me.

"Nice to see you walking." I said to him, while waving at Guy as I walked closer. Lee looked into the arena curious. "Buffys not here yet." They looked at me like a grew two heads. "Everyone wants to fight her." I mumbled. "He is missing." I said louder. Lee looked down to the field with worry in his face.

"How are you Lee?" He looked over at me a sadness in his eyes but a confident smile. "I will be on my feet soon." Guy had a look so heartbreaking on his face. "You will be okay, you are the most determined and hardworking kid I know." Hands behind my back I leaned forward with a smile. He gave me a look like he was confused at something.

Everyone started to get louder, making me look back into the field, I think the Proctor was about to call it when next to him a swirl of leaves appeared out of nowhere in a tornado fashion. Suddenly a black haired kid and a man were standing there back to back.

I had a moronic look on my face, Book guy? He looked badass but I found it more funny then cool as people started to cheer.

Finally the kid showed up, right on time but all I could do was stare at Book guy. I could not hear what they were saying but he had his hand behind his head and a small eye smile, I was so lost in his face when Guy said something I did not hear pulling me out of my head.

Looking over my heart crashed as Lee stared sadly, his fists closed so tight they were slightly bleeding. Guy was also looking at him sadly. Guy noticed and looked at him with sad eyes, I walked over and gave him a pat on his head, the way Hayashi does to me it makes me feel better. He looked up at me with his innocent but confused puppy eyes, I just smiled kindly at him.

A dark bloodthirsty feeling hit me, shaking me to my core like Naruto but this time it was so much worse. Not knowing where it was coming from, I just mindlessly stared at nothing, eyes open, breathing heavily, I could not see where it came from, what is happening.

Looking around for the chakra in a panicked trance, I was not paying attention to the people around me. I closed my eyes and tried to breath slower. "Hello Guy, Lee, are you alright?" I heard a sexy voice say. "Kakashi sensei." A girl yelled, I heard but did not listen.

I was incredibly dizzy, opening my eyes and locking on the redhead that had entered the field, it's him.

Needing to get a hold of myself, closing my eyes again I leaned back on the wall and tried to focus on the chatting going on around me, trying to get me out of my own head. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.

In front of me was Guy and Book guy looking at me confused, I was still dizzy and scared but a smile crossed my face. He gave me a small smile and a wave. "Ava." My smile got bigger, he did not give me the look.

"Book guy." I said in a silly calm way.

"Book guy, that is a weird nickname." He spoke slightly amused but they both turned there backs to me after and looked around with purpose as I took in the words previously spoke during my panic attack. The darkness was still down there but I can do this, pushing passed the fear.

The pink girl called him Kakashi, the one she told me about? The one I should ask about a water jutsu? Him? I looked at the backside of Kakashi, it was nice to see him in daylight or even at all. I started to check him out he had a calm and strong protective air around him.

My eyes landed on his butt, it was a very nice butt making a small smile cross my face as I looked at Guy's as he stood next to him. Curious but under that embarrassing green jumpsuit, his was also pretty nice. I made a face with a small nod calming myself down.

They quietly spoke about Anbu and fighting. I looked around unsure if they were saying something was going to happen, feeling like a ghost behind them. Guy mentioned the word rival again, Kakashi ignored it making Guy yell about him being to cool and I could not help but smile at that strong but silly man.

They both seemed calm and carefree.

I felt the darkness got stronger, looking down the redhead was loosing it. Wiping the smile right off my face. The more I stared at him, the shakier I got. Then his sand started to move around on its own, no hand signs. He got even more terrifying but it was so amazing.

Then Sasuke started to attack with crazy speed and the fight that occurred was intense. No wonder people were waiting for this. I stood up straight and walked in between Guy and Kakashi my eyes never leaving the ground. "Amazing." I whispered, Kakashi gave me a quick side glance.

I heard someone say that his speed came from Lee in someway making me look at the Kid with a smile. "I knew you were awesome." He gave a shy look before turning back. The two on the ground were just crazy with skill, I am in over my head.

That was when Naruto startled me both him and Shika something. They were yelling to Kakashi about stopping the match.

I listened to them talk but I also had my eyes on the fight. He yelled about how the redhead was dangerous. Naruto was told to shut and watch, I gave a small smile at that. I guess this kid has some kind of ace by the way Kakashi talked. I could almost see the unstable coming from the ball on the ground.

My hands are shaking but I was still mesmerized. He ran up the wall and a big ball of lighting came out of his hand before he moved down the wall with such speed, it was so cool.

I was listening to them talk but my eyes never left the boy. Astounded that Kakashi made that up that on his own, they mostly just talked up Kakashi. He definitely could teach me something if he ever wanted to but I can't ask him.

The ball of lighting went through the spiky ball and then the longest few seconds happened.

The screaming started it was horrible and painful and completely insane screaming. Making the need to cover my ears but I stood still as crazy energy got stronger and looked a little red. I was shaking more and I know people noticed, my eyes were big and I just stared.

I probably looked like I was scared but I was more interested then anything.

I suddenly felt slightly sleepy. With all the people around me I could not see well but I recognized it quickly.

Genjutsu.

I focused and pushed it all way, my range was not to far but I blocked this whole section from it. All the ninjas looked at me quickly just before a boom distracted us all shaking the balcony. Other areas people were passed out all over and Shika for some reason.

The arena turned into Chaos in mere seconds.

The non ninjas near us all ran for the stairs, I watched as the Hokage basically got kidnapped. The Jonin were about to run to him, when five ninjas blocked the way.

I was weirdly calm as I stood behind Guy and Kakashi, when he moved so fast and saved Sakura from one in the blink of an eye both him and Guy Protected us all quickly and then stood back to back.

I stepped backwards in shock, Naruto screamed. "What is happening? And Sakura ducked holding her head. I watched as he pulled out a scroll and summoned a tiny dog. He looked at the kids and gave them a mission to follow Sasuke and the red head. After a comically moment with Shika faking sleep and the dog, they ran off.

He looked over at me and I could see it in his eyes, I was useless. My heart sank as he told me to run.

I was almost to the stairs when I noticed that big bastard I sat next to came heavily charging towards them jumping over to our area, I swear he could not see me. He did not even look my way as he charged close to passing me.

In a split second decision, moving without thinking I made a water mirror on the ground and tossed my spikes on the end. I watched as he slipped on the mirror and landed in the spikes while he ignored me making me throw eight Kunai at him and I was shocked when he did not move as they landed into his side and arm, digging deep as he stood up quickly and looked my way in confusion.

What the fuck?

I looked at Guy who was looking as confused as me as he pounded the shit out of some guy before turning to block another.

Not knowing why he can't see me but it made me stay, maybe I can fight him as I faced him noticing his eyes were very strange and maybe he is some kind of blind. Maybe he can see chakra like me but better, perhaps I am so weak I am unseeable?

He started to swiped his big fists in my direction flying out with a lot of speed like a crazy person but I avoided his fists easy being invisible.

He was about to corner me but he still was looking around for me with anger, swinging his fists as me like a blind man concreating my thought. I rammed into him with all my body making him fly backwards down the seats almost to the edge.

I giggled like a mad woman at the fact and ran around him quietly as the two of them took out three more, speedy little fucks. I moved in behind him as he got back up. "Where are you?" He yelled. "How is your chakra so much like the world's?" All three of us looked at him confused for a split second.

What does that mean?

I felt a pull of danger as I ducked from a second ninja who threw Kunai and I was about to be stabbed by a fast ninja but Kakashi was right there blocking him and then he cut his chest and shoved him off the ledge but it let the blind man notice him as he did hand signs shooting a wall of mud at us and Kakashi basically picked me up and spun me away.

But I jumped onto a different area spinning as he turned to target Kakashi. So I ran up and sliced his neck, closing my eyes as to not see the blood and jumped away as he fell off the balcony, gone.

Giving a quick look, mud was everywhere and Guy was smashing heads into walls and I noticed now I am useless and I went to run away when I noticed someone above us molding chakra completely invisible. I again moved without thinking as I don't have time and I threw some Kunai at him making him fall down and out of being hidden, he landed at the feet of Kakashi who turned and took him out.

A couple more showed up and they took them down, I was feeling like a crazy person at the fact that I loved this Adrenalin.

They are so amazing.

I pulled water out and moved it around my forearm as I tried to spin it, it was moving faster then it did before making me smile as it may be a bit of protection, I looked between them and the stairs, stay or go?

I was unsure if I was better here or someone else's burden.

I watched chakra jump up into the section and I ran between him and Guy as I blocked Kunai with my water, the tips slightly got into my water but I was unhurt as I shook them loose and they fell down. I quickly made a clone just in time as he was behind me Kunai on my neck as I traded with my clone and he cut her neck poofing into water.

Grabbing my water scroll standing in a better position and opened it while the big wave knocked him off the balcony but he was back up pretty quickly. I made two clones run to the edge as one popped up from the area floor, they dove into him knocking him back down in a hug.

The other guy came at me and for the first time stepped on my spikes getting them embedded in his feet, making him walk slower.

I jumped back and threw all eight Kunai. He blocked and dodged most but two hit him deeply, one in the side and one in the leg. I ran in close and chakra kicked him to the side, he blocked while I did a flip landing my arm I slashed out with a kunai and blocking a kick with my water, I cut his leg bad with my weapon as I landed on my feet from my flip.

Ducking from a punch and I dodged another by jumping back.

Being so much slower he tossed two kunai at me and I threw four back with chakra, two blocked his and also headed towards him, he easily avoided but he was on me in the same second.

I used my water arm to block his attack in a spastic fear I somehow cut his arm with my water, I noticed I was spinning it faster and it was almost spiky like the sword.

I needed Adrenalin.

With an evil smirk on my face I shot my arm out and slashed his arm harder and a lot more Blood went everywhere, the sight made me queasy.

He seemed to not be able to use the one I hurt so using his other arm he attacked me with kunai and I dogged and blocked almost every blow. I slashed my arm towards him with the spiky water and he jumped backwards, running at him carefully avoiding my spikes I pushed chakra into my feet I looked like I was about to kick him but I flipped over his head instead and brought down the water into his back.

He was able to dodge, so I just slightly cut his back, enough to draw blood but not enough to stop him. He was turning towards me, while I was squatting from the jump about to kick out his leg when Guy slammed him into the wall.

I thanked him and figured I should run now, but where do I go?

They exchanged the number of people they took out, I think Kakashi said 26 and Guy said 24. It made me smile as I mumbled almost three, so quiet they could not have heard me but it made me smile at them.

They are so funny together and amazing but also because I almost took out three, even if it was help from to baddass guys but still. I looked down at my arm, spinning the chakra around. So long as I stretched my fingers together and straight I can make a crap sword, while also having a small shield.

Seeing an opportunity I jumped up and stuck myself to the ceiling hidden behind a small flap as I felt a new ninja about to jump into the area, he jumped up and was looking at the jonin I quickly fixed myself and pushed my feet full of chakra shoving myself off the ceiling with force and fell into him with my sword, down he went.

Jumping backwards in a flip as a weapon was thrown blocking a few more Kunai and Shuriken until a giant shuriken headed towards me, I threw myself to the side and fell to the ground. Rolling on my back as one jumped onto me and I blocked with my water, it sliced her hand open, so she grabbed Kunai and I blocked that as well.

She did some hand signs but did not get them done as Kakashi kicked her off of me and knocked her out in a second. He looked down on me our eyes locked and with a eye smile as he turned again to fight another.

A giant smile on my face, I got a smile.

Standing up and breathing deeply so I can pay attention easier. I focused on the chakra's I felt one running from the left I hid behind a pillar and waited for them to come. He ran right for them as he was about to pass by me I stuck my water hand out and slashed him in the chest as he ran into my arm, I looked away as he fell to the ground.

I stood there looking around for another opening but there was none, they took out about four more before they stopped coming.

We walked towards the railing, while others joined us.

Kurenai, Guy, Kakashi and two strangers and I stood there staring at the destroyed arena. "I guess that's all of them." Guy said.

"For now anyway." Kakashi calmly said, I looked over and Kurenai looked at me, we shared a smile.

They all jumped away or down, I stood there unsure if they wanted me to follow. Then the Barrier went down. Suddenly a Anbu guy and a man in a sand vest and headband stood there in front of Kakashi, Guy and the proctor, I just listened as they spoke.

Some guy was under the mask I had not heard of but something told me it was kind of a betrayal, they knew each other.

Then they disappeared in a poof, they were all angry even the calm Kakashi was clenching his fists in anger. I just stared at him before they moved to the dropped barrier and I jumped down after them.

Not sure if I was wanted or if I could be useful but I needed to go. They were faster then me but I landed behind them as I stood back and looked at the chakraless Hokage.

I had no immediate reaction but my heart pulled, putting my hand on my chest griping my shirt in a fist, I just stared.

No, not him. Mr. Hokage. We all just stood there.

Early morning I followed everyone as we all walked in black, everyone was sad and sluggish. I moved into a spot and stood there as I looked at the Hokages big picture before my eyes scanned all the other lost ninja's, my eyes checking them all out wondering I have met any of them, a few seemed familiar but I did not know the name of any of them.

It is so strange I was not one of them.

The rain started to fall and normally I would love it but it felt like the world was crying for these soldiers.

I spotted Kuro and he nodded at me as we stood beside each other in silence as I checked him over, he was unhurt when I watched him also check me over before he put his hand on my head and then let it drop off. The air had a stillness and some people were crying before the sermon started to speak.

I was numb while I thought about the Hokage, I leaned into Kuro, he seemed fine being my wall. Not long after he spoke everyone got in a line to put a white flower on the area in front of the Hokage's picture.

Putting the flower down I closed my eyes.

Thank you, without you I may have been dead you took me in and helped me, I am sorry I never got to truly thank you or pay you back.

I opened my eyes and moved on, standing there for a bit. The rain stopped people started to leave.

I gave a wave to Kuro and headed home, I was lost in my head, I payed no attention until I got home.

I sat on my couch and pulled off my headband I had put it on my head for the funeral in respect, thanks to Kakashi and Guy I was not even badly hurt, kind of shocked with all those deaths that I was fine.

Pulling off my shoes I leaned back.

Don't get me wrong I was heartbroken, that man was amazing and he helped me, kind to everyone a great leader but I started to get scared. What if he is the reason I am still alive. Will someone try to kill me now? What about the next Hokage? Will they want me dead?

I made some coffee and looked out the window at the destroyed city. I had left my window open, so I actually had burn marks coming from my window, so my windowsill and some of my floor was black. Swiping my finger in the black I noticed I could clean most of it up as my finger was covered in ash, the rest of my place was okay, the outside however was a mess.

I planed on helping fix the town after my coffee, the funeral was early. I had yet to have some but I was unsure where to go to help and who to talk to before I had a fast shower and got ready for the day, wearing everything. I guess you never know when you may need your weapons, even in the village.

I worried I had not seen Hayashi at the funeral but I also did not see his picture. I ran passed his now destroyed home. Stood around outside the hospital looking for his chakra. I could not find him. Maybe he is not in the city, worry in my heart as I passed an area where non ninja's were fixing up a building.

I did see a man he was an older gentleman, maybe 40's, he was dressed for the heat, his dark skin said he was out in the sun all day. He stood around like he was watching the people work. Maybe him?

"Excuse me." I kindly spoke. He looked over at me with squinted eyes making me wonder how he could see, his laugh lines said he was a kind person. "How can I help fix things?" I smiled at him. He looked me over and then looked around.

He pointed down the road some to a restaurant that was almost completely destroyed and shuffled me down there. This is also not something I did before, I have used a hammer but have never rebuilt a home and yet something about this made me happy. Giving a small hello and asked what can I do to the other workers, they pointed me to an area, gave me some tools and I got to building a wall.

They were kind of mad I was so slow but I wanted to do it right.

It took a few moments of yelling in my head, I am going as fast as I can, when I remembered I am an ninja.

I resisted smacking my forehead, looking down I gave a small tsk. I put a small amount of chakra into the hammer and smashed a nail down correctly in a instant and I started to go faster. Now they were happy and I was having fun. I learned how to place windows and doors. It was a great experience.

I was sent to work on an apartment building that was almost pure rubble. Now this is a challenge a couple other ninjas joined me and the non ninja workers. We cleaned it up and almost had to build it from the ground up. I did this slower because due to the rooms it was harder to see where I was needed.

I was incredibly lucky this time, I mean other then a mess of having a burnt windowsill and ash my place mostly was fine. The outside was a mess of cracks, burns and some weapons embedded but it had a hole in the wall on the ground floor. Also I was not even seriously hurt, I was shocked at my luck and a little afraid of what might happen when it runs out.

I just smiled like a goofy kid as I did this. I did notice the ninja's that joined, most gave me the look, other then two. One guy one girl, I did share a small joke with the female ninja.

My day was long with no one really speaking to me.

I was released as the sun set. I walked to my place and looked into the large hole on the ground floor. I saw a man inside sitting in his underwear glaring at me. He made me feel like I was the creep so I jumped into my window.

Put on pants when everyone can see u weirdo.

I had a shower and it was amazing, I was so gross and sweaty. Spinning the water on my arm again, It was like I unlocked something it was going so fast now without Adrenalin. A big smile on my face, I was having issues trying to get it to spike and hurt the towel I stuck near it but I did it a little but as a shield, it was doing good.

I did start to cut small spots in my arm and it confused me how I did it last time without cutting myself, after a while I realized it was because while fighting I mindlessly pushed the water chakra away from me but standing here calm I did not do that.

I need to be careful to do that if I spike it or I could do a lot of damage to myself. I need to learn how to move it around my body flawlessly while also spiking it and hopefully not hurt myself.

I sat on a fence as I ate a box of food and I looked around at all the people putting this place together again, I don't think many ninja's are going to be sent on missions right now but I did not see anyone over chunin help with the rebuild.

I felt him come from behind. "Hey." I said without turning. I heard a noise and he was next to me instantly as Hayashi grabbed some food from my box making me smile. I looked him over. "About time you found me, I was worried about you." I lightly bashed my shoulder into his.

"I was stuck on the other side rebuilding the wall, it came first." He looked over. "Glad you're okay." He gave a small smile and grabbed more food.

"What did you do during the invasion?" I asked calmly.

"Fought a giant snake."

I looked at him in shock. "There was a giant snake?"

"It was huge." He was in awe. "It was what took down the wall and destroyed most of the homes, how did you not see it?"

"I was in the arena most of the time."

"Near the Hokage?"

"Ya." I said in a quiet sadness, He grabbed more food.

"I hear someone is going to find the new Hokage."

"It's not someone in the village?"

"No." I was in thought, I hope whoever it is likes me enough to keep me around. Hayashi gave me a look, I wonder if he can tell what I was thinking this time.

"What is taking so long?" The old man with the eyes yelled at me.

I looked at him a nodded. "Well I have to get back." I handed the rest of the food to Hayashi and jumped down.

"I will join you." He said as he jumped off the fence, while he downed the rest of the food.

"Alright." We headed over to the storefront we were rebuilding.

We also had a small competition on who could do what faster, at first he was winning but at the end we were close.

Come sunset we headed to a bar. Walking calmly around the city most places were rebuilt now, some even have been repainted and it looked really nice. We passed a park where I saw a bunch of little girls with flowers and baskets, some were arranging them in plastic vases. I looked over as the teacher was calling out that it was over and they needed to pick up the stuff.

"They have classes for stuff, this is flower picking and learning what they mean, it is for kunoichi." A little sexist but okay.

"That is cool, can you take it if you're not a kid?"

"I don't know." He looked at me. "But there is also trap making classes, also a class for kunoichi about learning to blend in when disguised." I gave him a puzzled look. "Like if you have to be a rich lady and how to act, stuff like that" That peeked my interest as I looked back towards the kids cleaning up and leaving. "I can ask around for you if u want to take them and see how and if I can sign you up." A big smile on my face.

"That would be wonderful." Looking at him. "Thank you." He patted my head, I gave a goofy smile, It always makes me feel better.

We found our way to a bar that was pretty intact, It was full of ninja, one guy was even passed out in the corner, headband over his eyes. We found an empty table in a darker area out of the way. Hayashi went and got us drinks.

Looking around I noticed it had a small stage, with a microphone. Shit is that karaoke? I looked around, I don't think anyone was going to use it as I wondered what there music was like.

Hayashi was beside me. "You want to sing?" He asked with interest.

I smiled. "No, but maybe you should." I took my drink from his hand and he sat down.

"I was wondering what you're music here was like, I miss music." Before I downed half of my drink. "So is that karaoke?"

He looked at me confused "kareo what?"

"Karaoke"

"I have never heard that word before." I laughed and took a sip.

"In my world it was where you sing to a song where they blocked out the lyrics so you can sing them yourself."

He understood. "Ya basically."

I got up and got shots. "Lets get wasted." I said as I brought them to the table.

"Wasted?" Again he looked at me confused.

This time I laughed out loud. "Maybe we should start a drinking game where we take a shot every time I confuse you."

"A drinking game." He mumbled with his hand on his chin in thought. He looked at me, grabbed three and downed them while smiling, I did the same.

"But now I need more shots." laughing I got more along with the beer like drink. Putting the shots in the middle for when I confuse him again.

I was feeling it when someone finally got up to sing, it was two girls giggling drunk. They started singing to a jumpy beat, made me tap my fingers as I listened. It was a weird mix of very old sounding music and new age pop, only way I can describe it.

I loved it, but could be because I was almost drunk by the end I was lightly singing the chorus that was said so many times. "So, do you like our music?"

I smiled at him. "It's not bad." I gave a smirk and sipped more on my drink. After them a guy got up and sung something slow and calming, again it was a nice song but the guy can't sing for shit. I made a face at the bad voice and Hayashi laughed in agreement.

When a better singer came up, I saw a couple go to dance to the upbeat music and I was glad to see it was not grinding and twerking but it was also kind of weird I laughed being a little startled, the flailing of the arms got me.

Hayashi looked at me and grabbed a forth shot, I smiled and downed one also. That was when a couple guys got up, now there was no flailing, they did move around a little strange but this time it was weirdly hot.

It was not long until I was starting the slur my words. Hayashi was a much better drinker but I could tell he felt it also. We clinked our glasses together for the Hokage and the dead soldiers. I guess he knew a couple of them, they were not close but enough to miss.

Some random girls walked up the walls and hung from the ceiling and started dancing, I looked up in curiosity until one of the knocked ones foot off and she fell, being drunk as fuck she had issues standing up while the other did a cool flip to the floor and picked her up.

A big smile on my face. "Ninjas." I whispered. He laughed a little loudly, he was definitively getting a little drunk. He tried to teach me how to play a game they do here, it had something to do with fingers and tapping each others hands but I was to drunk to truly understand it.

Wanting to teach him something from my world, I showed him the game where u have to slap the others hands or pull your hands away, he won of course, being faster then me. "I guess with ninja's its not as fun." I giggled and looked for a piece of paper and some kind of pen, when he pulled them out of his scroll but it was some kind of stick. Like a pencil without the wood, I looked at him confused.

He grabbed a shot and put it in front of me. "Now you're confused." Smiling we downed another shot. I made a tic tac toe board and again he learned it fast. Now this was more fun with a ninja. We played for a while but soon I was way to drunk.

Sitting up drool down my face, I looked around in a slow sluggish way, seeing the burnt window I was at home, on my living room floor. Looking around Hayashi was passed out on my couch, one long leg over the side, only one shoe on his foot, he was out.

Giving a small smile I guess I blacked out at some point. Slowly standing, quietly made a pot of coffee and went to the bathroom, that was where I found one of his shoes, to tired to give a reaction I just left it there. I did noticed my hair had some kind of sticky mess in it, I lazily tried to fix it a bit not feeling like having a shower just yet and went back and sat at my table, lying my head down as I waited for coffee.

I put down a dirty towel over the burnt area of my window and sat there with coffee, trying to get some kind of energy. Noticing the people all walking around, I checked the shadows and noticed I think it is almost around noon. I was passed out for so long.

After a couple cups he started to stir, looking over he slowly opened his eyes. Standing up I made him a coffee and passed it to him silently as he sat up and went back to the window.

We sat in silence for a bit when he looked down as his feet with a question on his face, I gave a small smile. "It is in the bathroom." I quietly said. He nodded and drank more coffee, his hair was oddly not a mess, it sat properly on his head and made me scrunch my face.

"Thanks for letting me stay." He quietly said, I just looked at him and again he read my mind, the fact I can't remember. "You let me stay because my place is trashed."

I made a silent oh face and smiled. "Anytime." After a small pause. "Maybe next time I will make it to my room."

He smiled. "You didn't?" A slight laugh came out, I guess he was just as drunk as me.

"Sleep here anytime, just come in and crash whenever." I quietly spoke and he looked at me with thanks all over his face.

"Want to go out for breakfast?" He asked as I looked at him.

"Sure, but it is more like lunch." He looked at me with a smile.

"Man we were wasted."

I lightly laughed. "Ya."
