Hayashi is hard to get at as Kuro was teaching me how to be a close combat fighter, he could move me where he wanted with ease. I flew into the sky as my ankle got tied in a rope trap but I used my water to cut loose excited about it as I flipped and landed on my feet.

The water on my right fist was turning into something useful as I tried to get passed tricks and traps to get up close to him.

They both were teaching me many things.

I saw him grab a water scroll so I moved to jump to a high branch of a tree but the current caught my leg and I was pulled away in the wave making me hit the ground in a roll.

On my knees I looked over when I saw him pull out the lightning scroll. My eye's grew as I traded with a log just in time as it burned the ground and the tree, I stood there making it trigger my dream as it came back to me.

I was trying to flee as the sparks on my wall came at me, I was not fast enough as a spark hit my finger. The electricity running through me and I was in so much pain I fell to the ground. I tried to push my body off the floor as my arms were shaky and weak as the electricity started to burn into my kitchen floor as I could smell the burning of wood and hair.

That was it, it was a small moment.

"I remember." I whispered as Hayashi thrown two shuriken at me.

I was so stunned I did not react to them, right before they hit me Kuro body slammed me into the ground bringing me back to reality.

"What the fuck Ava?" Kuro said in anger as he got off me but stayed kneeled next to me.

Hayashi ran over. "Are you okay?"

"Oh." I said a little Disorganized. "I remember the sparks." They both looked confused.

My head cleared, Jumping up while getting a hold of myself and dusting my ass off. "Before I fell here I guess I was in an earthquake that made my computer spark up my home and burned my home down while I got electrocuted." I said fast like it was nothing. "That is all I remember, not sure how I got here just yet."

I covered my arm with water again. "Who's next?" I looked at them.

They both just looked at me baffled, even Kuro as he stayed kneeling on the ground making me smile.

"You died?" Hayashi almost yelled.

"No I don't think so." I calmly said feeling a little angry for no reason.

They still made the face. "You did not die from that?" Kuro's snarky voice was also pretty loud.

Sighing. "I don't know, I was getting onto my feet besides I am alive right now, can we let it go you know as much as me."

The both nodded fixing there faces, thinking back on my dream and decided to not tell them until I am sure of anything, there is no way I fell from the sky.

"So who's next." Sticking my arm out as I spun my water, being strangely angry it was faster then normal.

When we had free time I would train with my team. Without a Hokage and the town just now getting back on it's feet there was time. I did stop by the library for some random tricks, I found the fire lighter thing Hayashi once did but I could not do it making me so sad as to have that skill would be cheaper then buying lighters.

Finding out switching element's is a jonin level skill so I should look for more water over anything else.

I did run across a picture of my favorite Pokémon and it took a moment before I was like, right they don't exist so I picked it back up. It was like the nine tails and angry and red, I was confused as I red what little it had to say about it.

I had time this morning as I poked around learning about sealing but I came across some genjutsu and I thought that was cool when I found a small party trick.

Something called Distortion: This is a simple illusion. Reading as it said it did such things like changing the room number on a door, changing the words on a sign, it does not do any damage.

Trying it out on the closest section number, did the hand signs and pushed like my clones. I made the number get a little fuzzy but that was all.

I pulled out that book from Iruka's time teaching me that I held onto and wrote down the signs for later, it is not powerful but it would be cool if I could do some genjutsu as I found that interesting.

Hayashi signed me up for a trap class and I was so excited as I came to the spot just outside a tree line, there was kids from six to sixteen and then me.

The instructor smiled at me, her leaf green hair was short and she was so cute in a mesh top and dark gray and she was younger then me. She then started the class making me feel embarrassed as she waited for me, glad she knew I was coming.

She told us what traps we are learning today, rope, paper bombs, trip wires, log drops and setting up a large pile of rocks high in a tree making me smile as I listened.

Starting with rope traps, she told me how to do it correctly but I have done this before and it was easy to me. She walked over. "I can't see it." She tripped it. "Well done." She walked off the the next person, the youngest needed help with this.

This women was kind and I could tell she loved to teach.

Then we moved onto trip wires, she showed us how to get the perfect spot so it did not reflect light and how to set a double one just incase behind it, this was important as it set the tone for all the rest. A good wire trap can Triger all the other traps.

It took me a moment to make sure no one could see it.

The paper bombs were next and the first one I tried to hook up blew up in my hand startling me, I was lucky it was weak and just smoke as I coughed and fanned it away but that made all the kids laugh at me making me laugh with them.

I was not alone everyone blew up at least three, some more then others we all had a laugh when it happened.

The youngest was so entertained by it all that I was slightly angry such a young girl was training to be a solider, it was not right.

The log trap was harder as I had to find a big log while trying to hold it in the air as I set it up, once I got it stable and moved to attach the wire it came hurtling at me, dropping to the ground I just avoided it, the kids all started laughing at me and I gave them a happy sheepish look as I got back up. My fail caused them to fail as a few others dropped there own and the teacher had to help them get the log back up.

She checked mine out, it was not perfect as she tossed a kunai at the wire and it worked. "Almost perfect, you are not bad at this." She said with kindness.

I smiled at her. "Thanks' for teaching me." I wanted to say and thank's for being kind to me but I kept that inside.

The rocks were the hardest as I tried to lift up them like the log but it was impossible.

She smiled and came to help me.

I hang upside down on the tree, wrapping the wire around it and drop to the ground as the bag of rocks get pulled into the air, it was simple and then I just attach the trip wire to a tree.

She gave us all a large roll of wire for completing the class I felt like I learned a lot.

I was near the end of my nightly run, sweating and pushing myself a little farther as I headed home from roof to roof. I passed a bar as a few ninja's came out of but I ignored them until they landed in front of me making me pause.

One women stepped towards me but I stepped back confused, I was surrounded by three drunk ninja's feeling worried.

"You should not be here." A blonde spoke in anger she wore a chunin vest making me even more worried.

"Ya, go home." A second girl said, she also wore a chunin vest, her dark blue hair was short and wore this pink dress.

I stood there quietly unsure what to do or say.

Then the man, he wore the normal outfit he had so much anger in his eye's toward me looking like he was about to attack at any moment.

"You will never be a ninja." The blonde yelled at me.

The blue girl slurred out. "Hayashi deserves better then you." My eyebrow raised at that part, Hayashi? I looked at her confused, does she like him?

"He is deaf to flirting, if you want him tell him." Just slipped out of my mouth, she looked taken aback then in thought.

The man moved to shove me as I stepped back again making him trip as he was drunk and that made him even more angry and he pulled out a kunai, I was terrified but also starting to get angry, I did nothing to these people. I took a page from the ninja's I know and tried to not show my emotions.

I was so tense. "We should end you." He almost growled while he lightly swayed.

"Ya we don't need you." The blonde yelled.

The other stood in silence now, her beef with me was gone I guess it was all about Hayashi, the guy is popular.

I needed to defend myself fighting my need to raise my water over my arm because that would start a real fight and I would probably be dead or beaten near death.

"I will cut you all over." The man spoke, waving his kunai in my face. "Write my name in your skin."

Damn this guy is beyond creepy.

I stepped backwards again.

"Ooh the little girl is scared." The blonde spoke in a high pitched voice.

I did wonder how long until someone might attack me once he was gone, mostly worried the new Hokage would kill me too.

The other girl seemed to not care now but will back up her friends if needed.

The blonde pulled out a small dagger and smiled in a creepy way. "Let's do this." As she waved it to me.

I felt cornered and doomed as I had my hand in my scroll like it was in my pocket and tried to cover my arm in water as they stepped closer. "Alright fucks, I am sure three chunin can take down a weak alien with no issue." I was ready to fight as I waited for them to start it.

I was suddenly grabbed by the waist and the world just moved by so fast, I looked up at Guy.

His face was serious as he stared straight ahead, a few seconds later we were in my home, the speed of a jonin is crazy.

"Fuck your fast." I mumbled, he looked down at me serious, a very strange look for him.

I felt ashamed and embarrassed. "Thank you." I looked at my feet. "I thought I was going to die." It felt wrong to say that out loud.

For the first time I did not feel safe in my own home, he did not speak and I was annoyed that tears were trying to come out as I shoved them down but I could not help it, I grabbed him in a hug.

He was stunned at first but then hugged me back. My head was on his chest it was the kind of hug that made me feel safe, like he would never harm me. "Sorry if that was inappropriate." I said as I backed up but he gave me a small smile.

"Just glad I was coming by."

"Me too." I whispered.

"I need to check on Kakashi." He said as he moved towards my window.

"What happened to Kakashi?" I asked eyes wide.

"Classified, but he is passed out in his bed." I nodded as he left worry in my heart not just for me.

I moved to my window and shut it before locking it, I grabbed some chips and a drink and sat down to turn on small old school tv. missing the ones from home as I flipped through the small amount of channels and I found a comedy I think. Half watching I pulled out some paper and wrote my name on it before sticking it to my wall and sat back down trying out the new genjutsu.

I just failed over and over again all I could do was make it fuzzy, giving up I turned back to my tv.

I strong feeling of failure set over me and for the first time here I tear fell down my face, I felt homesick and useless and the issue earlier it just all got to me and I started to cry.

All I am here is a burden, they just keep having to save my ass, mostly the whole village hates me and now I am in danger in my own home.

Putting my head on my knees while I watched the show with tears down my face, I want to go home this place is changing me.

I just let myself cry, wiping my nose repetitively when a funny moment happened on tv and I lightly chuckled.

I started to feel better knowing I needed to wallow, I cleaned up my mess had a shower and went to bed.

I wonder if I will ever go home.

I sat up in my bed as I stretched yawning making me sit there in confusion. I made sure I was dressed and opened my bedroom door, Hayashi and Kuro were just there.

"Morning, no matter what I do I just can't make coffee like you." Hayashi said as he was making coffee.

"Why was your window locked?" Kuro asked as he stuffed his face with crackers.

A dumbfounded look on my face, I took over the making of the coffee as he watched me make it. "That is what I do, I just don't get it."

I smiled and yawned noticing my window was back open. "I knew it was pointless to lock that." I slid into the chair opposite of Kuro.

I was so sure they were waiting for me to ask but it made me not. I grabbed the crackers from Kuro pulled out a couple and gave it back, small smile on my face as I slowly nibbled them.

Hayashi looked around my apartment. "What's with your name?" Pointing at the paper I put up last night.

"Oh, It's nothing just a failed attempt at something I was trying."

"So you got a tv." Hayashi looked curious. "It is pretty big hmm?" If I was drinking something I would have spit it out. "What?" He looked confused, reading me easy again. I just shrugged but he persisted, I just shook my head my eyes big "What, are they bigger at your world?"

I nodded, Kuro seemed interested for once.

I just got up to get dressed, a feeling if I started on tv size I would wind up talking about netflix and streaming and computers and I would never stop. That is to much to explain it was best to just leave it.

I got fully ready, we must have a mission why else would they be here like this and I joined them back in the kitchen grabbing a cup of coffee and sat back down, Hayashi had his own as he sipped it. "So good."

He looked at me. "We are being sent to relive a team on guard at a tower." I nodded and sipped. "We just watch and if anything happeneds we send a bird."

I looked at him startled, they send birds? I smiled, cool, so old school.

"When?" I asked.

"Well, Now." I drank a little faster while nodding.

We left not long after and we ran for a while.

I felt three people as we landed near a tall tower, it was old and had a cabin below and to the left was a large cage of birds.

The chunin were glad to see us as they gave us a rundown but nothing happened and they left us in charge, we just jumped to the top of the tower as we sat on different sides of the large wood area. surrounded by small metal fence. It was early morning so it was hard to see through the trees but the forest was nice, I mostly could hear birds and some shuffled of smaller animals.

"Soo how long will we be here for, days?" I asked as I got comfortable.

"Not sure, until they relieve us really." I just sat there swinging my legs over the side and kicking my feet.

There is many of these towers along the boarder and we are on high alert as someone may try and see if the leaf is weak right now.

We just sat in silence when I asked. "Hey do you guys know how to use Genjutsu?"

"What do you need?" Hayashi asked.

"I Just was trying a basic one and I don't fully understand how to use it."

He then gave me tips on how to make it work, I saw a small blank piece of wood on a tree towards the left of me so I tried it out.

Turning the wood into an arrow saying 'my place' and a simple two half circles drawing with dots.

Ya, I am a child sometimes, boobs ha, kicking my feet again.

Kuro got it right away and made a small noise but Hayashi did not understand at all and when he asked what it meant I could not tell him.

"It was nothing just seeing if I can make a simple drawing." I was so proud that it worked.

"I was never good at genjutsu." Kuro mumbled so quiet I almost did not hear, I was curious if he was sad about that.

"I never really cared for it." Hayashi spoke. "Scrolls to me were much cooler and more versatile."

I laid down staring at the big branches of the large trees when Hayashi started writing stuff on paper. "So no one should be running by right or will some leaf come by."

"I don't think any leaf will come, besides relief." Hayashi sounded distracted.

It was quiet when Hayashi jumped onto his feet excited, startling both of us.

"I think I got it." And jumped off the tower, I shared a look with Kuro and we followed.

He placed the scroll on the ground, bit his finger to draw blood, did some hand signs and smashed his hands into the scroll. I watched as lines of chakra spread out in every direction in a very pretty pattern, Watching it in amazement as it slowly dispersed.

"What did you just do?" Looking at him like he was amazing, He looked up at me beyond ecstatic.

"I did it."

"But what did you do?" Kuro mumbled.

"It is a perimeter seal, it goes out 100 yards and will notify me if anything has entered the area with any sort of chakra higher than your basic animal." He was so happy. "I wanted something like you." He said elated.

I was happy puts less pressure on me sensing someone. "Awesome." I smiled at his happy face. "Wow sealing can do anything." He nodded.

"It is not like you but it was the best I could do."

"No it's cool." I said back. "Can you feel us?" I asked curiously.

Closing his eyes his smile slowly faded from his face, he opened them and looked between me and Kuro puzzled a couple times before he nodded. He started to act strange. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing." He moved back to the tower and jumped up. I looked over at Kuro worried, He did not seem to understand either.

We got back up, he was cross legged with his face in his book, I looked at him but when he did not look up I just sat back down I laid down my head almost hitting Kuro as he leaned on a metal pole and we sat in a T formation. "I guess with both of us we don't need to use our eyes." I mumbled and Hayashi nodded a small distracted smile on his face.

I don't know how much time passed with no one talking. "You couldn't see me could you?" I looked his way but he did not speak as I sat up.

"I never told you but during the exams there was this sand ninja." He looked over at me. "He was blind and I think he saw with chakra." This time Kuro opened his eyes and looked over. "He could not see me." Hayashi looking back down and back at me, and he nodded reluctantly before looking back at his scrolls.

"I still am not sure if it was because I was so weak or if it's because I am wired wrong." I think they were both listening but not looking at me. "Before I took him out and man it was fun to be invisible." Kuro smirked. "He yelled, 'why do you look like the worlds chakra', I don't know what that meant."

Kuro was emotionless but Hayashi gave me a look of curiosity before he faced back to his scrolls in thought. I was hoping that would have made him less skittish, but I guess not.

"Well at least if I ever run across one of these perimeter seals they wont see me." I joked.

This time he looked up with interest. "Ya." He shook his weird pencil at me. "Ya." He mumbled and went back to whatever he is doing.

I would be heartbroken if he turns into all the rest, I glanced at Kuro as he just leaned with his eye's closed not caring.

I felt a tap on my forehead making me look at Hayashi, he was flapping a piece of paper at me with a tic tac toe board on it smiling adorably, sitting up and spinning on my legs the tense in my shoulders faded.

We played a few rounds before Kuro was actually interested so I taught him how to play and when Hayashi won, Kuro moved to play him.

I watched them with a smile.

"Do you have any other games?"

"Let me think about it." All I could think of was stupid child games and Pictionary, I don't know how much paper Hayashi had or even if they would like it but for now they were into this.

I let them play and I looked around, I ran around the towers area through the tree's pushing my speed and landed next to the birds. There was three birds and I did not touch but I leaned in. "Hey there." I said quietly, one shimmied down the branch towards me. "Hi pretty bird." Opening it's wings, I got a good look at the spot on his leg they put the note.

A second on jumped onto the cage and made it's way over to me. "Who's a pretty bird." This one made a noise at me as it looked at me sideways.

Hayashi was next to me in second. "Your talking to the birds?" He looked at me like I was strange.

"I don't understand how that is weird." The bird on the side of the cage made a noise at me. "Who's a pretty bird." It flapped his wings at me making me smile.

"So these guys are trained to go to the village?" He nodded at me. "Smart birds." I quietly said to them and the made more noises.

I just turned and went to look inside the small cabin, there was four hammocks along the walls and a small fridge powdered by the big battery, I opened it and there was some water and opened cookies, I picked it up looked at them and shoved one in my mouth.

"Really, you just eat random food?" I looked at him cookie half in my mouth, shoving it all the way in I ate it fast as I handed him the box. "It's good." I mumbled mouth full.

"You are strange sometimes." But he grabbed a cookie taking a couple nibbles before he took a bigger bite. "It is good."

He then grabbed a storage scroll and took out a lot of food, drinks, snacks and a couple boxes of food and put them in the fridge. "Eat these." He spoke in humor and walked away.

"Thank you." I yelled out as he turned outside grabbing a drink I went back up top.

I looked at the wooden area and pulled out a kunai as I carved my name into it. "What are you doing?" Hayashi asked.

"It will be here when I'm not." I mumbled. "In my world I have my name in three different places of concrete."

"Concrete?"

"Ya, well rock."

I don't think he want's to graffiti this place but Kuro did, putting his first name next to mine. I Smiled at him. "Maybe it will start something, next you come here you got to see if others start putting their name."

"The way you said that made it sound like you don't think you will be here." Hayashi spoke as he played with words on a scroll.

I looked up at him shocked and thought about it. "I guess it does." Speaking slowly I smiled, Kuro just stared at me. Maybe I don't think I will be around for much longer.

The sun went down and it was a long day. "Same rotation like last time?" Kuro asked, he was the leader but Hayashi sometimes seems to be as he nodded.

I was not sleepy yet as I sketched a small happy face next to my name in the wood but Kuro headed down. It was not long until the sun had set, being deep in the trees it was almost impossible to see.

"So do you got any badass scrolls I have yet to see?" I asked with a yawn.

"There is one I recently learned, it is a giant fire dragon that explodes on contact but it is a big mess to open anywhere safe."

"Nice, I have to see it."

"Ya I have to master it but I will be able to turn it into other elements eventually without needing to be that affinity." He spoke with excitement.

"Ya, scrolls seem fun."

"They can do so much, it is slightly hard to master, you would think writing things on paper would be easy, but it is not." I just listened as he talked with emotion, he was very passionate about this.

I headed down to sleep, Kuro was on the bottom left hammock. Curious I headed to the top right one. Every time I tried to get up into it it would spin and I would fail. I almost made it in and then it spun and I landed with an off on the ground.

"What are you doing?" His angry voice rang out, Saying nothing I silently tried to get onto the bottom one, I was almost in when it also spun and I almost fell off but I got balance, sighing I slowly shimmied to find comfort. "Finally failure." I gave a small giggle, these things are awkward to get into.

I woke up to Kuro shaking me. "Okay." I said ad I tried to get out and it spun making me fall on my floor. "Fuck these things." I quietly spoke as I looked over to Hayashi who was sleeping where Kuro once was, I got up and headed to the top of the tower alone.

I just played with water over my body and tried to split it up onto both my hands and spin at the same time but I couldn't do it. Come sunrise I was covered in water as I tried to make it hard but all I could do was hold it to my skin, I was so happy when the light started to fill the area and I noticed Hayashi wrote his name next to ours, that made my heart happy.

My genjutsu however was gone, I did it again, this time I wrote 'Morning assholes'

Hayashi started to move around and was next to me with a couple orange juices and a box of food for us to share, it looked homemade.

"Did you make this?" I asked while eating whatever it was. He nodded with a shy smile, grabbing more. "It is good."

He made it for me? Something he thinks I have not tried, he is always feeding me making me smile kindly at him as we ate.

Oh... was it because when he asked what I missed and I said food.

At the random thought I paused a second before grabbing something else.

"Thank you." I spoke with love in my heart. "This is great." He is a good guy.

Kuro was then next to us and dug into the food, after a few bites he gave a nod to Hayashi making me hold back a laugh, between the three of us it did not last long.

Hayashi mentioned there was this guy who always made him make what we just ate, when Kuro perked up at a story knowing who he was talking about. Hayashi looked at me. "He was always getting into trouble." He laughed as they started to share stories of the failure of this man that was much older then them.

They did not know they both knew him and they just enjoyed talking about him and the stupid shit he did. I guess when Kuro was a genin he would teach some kids this style of taijutsu most teachers don't teach and why, because it was ridiculous but they did not know that.

With a shared look they jumped down and started to fight each other in a weird way making me sit on the tower and watch.

It was just a basic tai fight and It was entertaining.

They got faster and faster and I had to really watch to keep up with all the hits they took until at one point it looked like they were having a break dance battle making sing a rap song to myself. The amount of strength, speed and flexibility they have is awesome, hoping one day I can fight like that, the amount of fighting that happens mid air was kind of scary.

They took a break to breath and Hayashi looked up at me. "I wanted to show you." He said loudly and pulled out a scroll making me jump down.

We walked to a good area for it as we followed him, standing behind him he did the hand signs.

Out of the scroll came flying out a huge Fire dragons head, Its body was just a long stretch of fire, it flew so fast and amazing. A split second and it hit the tree and then exploded loudly to all the rest, making me bring my arm up to protect my face as we were not far enough away, my hair got blown crazy by the shock wave.

Opening my eyes the main tree was just gone and the others were burned and half destroyed, some were still on fire. "Shit." Was all I could say but by my face it was easy to tell how amazed I was.

He was smiling adorably when he pulled out a water scroll and the wave put out the small fires. "With water do you think it would explode with ice shards?" I asked.

He looked at me in thought

"That would be cool." Kuro said.

Giving a glance to him he had a look in his eyes, he loved the fire dragon.

We then got into a three way tai battle as they ran circles around me but everyone in a while one would team with me and take down the other, it made me notice I was getting better at teamwork. I read them better and were also better at reading each other.

A pause to catch our breath Hayashi spoke with delight. "You're getting a lot better." He looked at me. "Remember the first time we did this and you literally just jumped on Kuros back." His deep laugh was like music.

A weird mix between proud and embarrassed I gave a small awkward laugh as Kuro smirked.

This was done for as Hayashi moved to mess around with his scrolls back on the top of the tower but I wanted to fight more as I looked at Kuro who read me with ease.

Covering my right arm with water, He pulled his swords out. Standing there tense and ready.

He ran at me as I blocked his swords with my water and flipped over his head bringing my feet into his back and I pushed off with chakra shoving him forward before landing on my feet and I ran back in but he was faster then me as I barely dodged them again and blocked his next swing as I flipped backwards but he caught me mid air kicking me to the side with so much power as I tried to flip my body to land on my feet but he kicked me again.

He was then above me in the air as I blocked his kick with my water making him back off to not get cut by my water and he landed on the ground as I landed on the side of a tree using chakra to stay put in a squat.

I pushed off the tree towards him with chakra, breaking the bark under my feet I flew right to him as he smirked standing ready. I blocked one sword as my feet landed on the second knocking it from his hand as I moved to land on the ground.

I immediately swiped my leg out he jumped and kicked me in the head, I Went flying, my face in the dirt as I slid ungracefully.

I got back up as fast as I could and looked at him as I ran back in and danced around him as I blocked and tried to cut him, he slashed out towards my feet as I jumped backwards throwing kunai at him, he deflected them all. I blocked both swords with my water as we stood there pressing each others strength.

His swords were slightly getting inside my water as he was stronger then me, making me try and move it faster and spike it more when I chipped a very tiny part of his sword we locked eyes.

He jumped backwards, I was able to catch my breath while we just stared at each other.

He was not even close to as tired as me, I was giving it my all unlike him but his swords were out and that was a good thing.

He smirked at me with a small hand sign and his swords lit on fire, I think my water is useless on a blade of fire and now is the time to find out for sure. Pulling out a kunai I ran at him spinning my water as fast as I could, I slid between his legs to dodge his swords he spun as I stood up and brought them to my head, blocking with both my water and kunai I watched as it slid passed my water with ease.

I pulled away using the kunai and got some space before he cut to deep into my arm, I was slightly bleeding as I got some real space. I pulled out a water scroll and he jumped high into the trees making me pause and put it back and make three clones, he landed back on the ground and came at me.

I am doomed.

We ran around him, moving in no real direction as we tossed kunai at him, this time I was faster, had better aim and could send many at once. A lot has happened since the last time I did this. He tried to block every kunai and his speed and precision was showing.

When I got behind him I quietly made a fourth and then jumped away to hide but he noticed making a few hand signs he made a big fireball and it took out all my clones.

I dropped spikes as I ran and he was not far behind me, but then he boosted his speed and was right behind me but he actually stepped on one giving me a second as he pulled it from his foot. I brought water back up my arm and in the same second I pushed off flipping backwards over him bring my water down his back.

He poofed away as I cut into a log as I split in half, while I still was falling my eyes big, I made him Kawarimi.

I landed on a branch as a smile came on my face but just as I landed he was back. His swords were not out, in the short amount of time it took for me to turn my head to look at him, I was surrounded by wire and then pulled onto a tree wrapped up and stuck.

Struggling against it he stood where I was previously, a strange look in his eyes and a smirk on his face.

I just looked at him I tried to free myself but I was stuck, arms flat against the tree. Using my water I tried to cut the wire. It was taking a second but I did cut myself down and landed in front of him, had he been an enemy I would have been dead.

I breathed as I smiled at him and I moved to run back to Hayashi, hearing the noise I stuck my chakra to the branch and fell forward dodging a weapon, hanging upside down I pushed off from the branch and flew to the ground with speed.

Jumping on a second branch I booked it in a wide circle back towards Hayashi and dived into a bush to hide. He was on the ground instantly not to far away but enough that he did not see me, did I successfully hide?

He ran the path I would have taken had I not hit the dirt, closing my eyes and watched him and Hayashi.

Not sure what to do.

I made a fast wire trap with one paper bomb before I hid again farther away, flat on my chest under a bush I watched, hands ready.

Having the advantage while hidden I watched him as he stopped moving and came doubling back, a smile on my face.

He got close to my trap but I think he noticed as I saw him stop, pulling water on my arm, got on my feet in a crouched position I traded places with a log. I was behind him and almost hit his leg startling him as he stepped backwards his foot landing on the second wire and the bomb went off I turned my back to a tree next to me, a safe spot I already picked out.

He Kawarimi far away again as I looked at the aftermath.

I saw Hayashi heading my way as Kuro came from the other way, they both landed here at the same. Hayashi looked at us worried and I gave a small sorry to him for it, Kuro looked at me "nice" was all he said.

We then headed back to the tower to do our job.

We were here for under two day's when someone came our way , I sat up startled and made a noise alerting them, Hayashi stood up feeling it as well. We stood ready in wait when they landed near us.

I guess the new Hokage is in the village and we are being relived to be there when they swore her in. Gathering our stuff we headed home.

Worry sat in my heart, I felt safer in the woods looking for enemies then I do about going home and what if this lady does not want me around?
