I stepped back admiring my newly painted white wall, I had also done my kitchen wall in a gray. That A rank gave me so much money I was even able to replace my kitchen table with a light gray one and get some nice chairs. Along with painting my walls I painted my snowboard from the boring light gray, I painted black branches with small Sakura buds and hung it behind my couch.

One day my precious.

I have not talked to anyone in day's as my team was gone, I think on different missions.

I was strolling when I found Lee standing on a lookout area as he watched the town, walking beside him he did not notice me as his glassed over eye's stared ahead. "Lee?"

"Ava." He spoke softly with a sadness. I was worried and then he told me, the new Hokage is going to heal him but there is a chance he could die, if he does not do it he will never be a ninja.

I wrapped my arm around him and pulled him to me not knowing what to say.

"You are strong and amazing Lee, no matter what, you will get through this."

"What would you do?" He looked over at me with his puppy dog eyes.

"I am not the one to ask." I squeezed him tighter.

He looked at me confused before facing back out to the city. "Do you have a dream, an ambition you would do anything for?"

That made me think. "hmm...I can't think of even one."

"Really?" He asked kindly in a curious way. "Mine is to be a great ninja." He spoke so softly like he could cry.

I leaned my head on his shoulder, I want him to heal and I want him alive I have no way to help him.

"I need a dream then hmm?" I smiled at him and he nodded.

I just hugged him as he held back tears and we watched the village.

This place was so hot as I ran across the water of the pond, jumping up before I cannonballed in yelling a array of words that made no sense as I splashed into it. I swam low looking at the fish before shoving off the bottom and coming up for air before I floated there.

Looking over there was a thinner Kunai then I hold as I slowly moved towards it, worried it will explode and looked around with both my eye's and chakra but there was not a single person nearby. I paced slowly looking around again before I moved in and picked it up, it was just a note.

'You're not so bad' confusion all over my face. "Thanks?" I mumbled as I looked around for any other clue.

Why would you leave a secret note for that?

Even so it was flattering and made me feel better.

I was cooled down as I walked around looking like a wet dog but I did not care. I passed the academy making me head over to the swing and I sat in wait as class should be done soon. I was almost dry when the kids walked out and I walked in, leaning on the door frame I knocked. "Iruka." I smiled.

"What are you doing here?" I walked in slowly

"Well I was wondering if you knew of any kind of personal class I could take." He looked at me confused. "Like first aid or tracking." He gave a pleased smile and opened a drawer digging around.

"I heard you went to the land of snow." He pulled out a brown binder and put it on his desk.

"Ya." I sat on the desk just across from him.

"Anything interesting, I am assuming because you want classes."

"I just want to learn." I said quietly and looked at him, I trust him but I need to ask Kakashi if I can tell anyone about my tattoo, he has a more stable head then Kuro and Kuro would say never and Kakashi already knows.

He pulled out some paper. "Here is a list of classes, when and where."

I stood up and took them. "Thank you."

I looked at him with curiosity. "Do you have a life dream or main ambition?" I asked leaning back on the table.

"Yes." I looked at him to continue. "I wanted to become a teacher."

Making me smile. "So you accomplished it?"

"I want to pass the will of fire onto the next generation."

"What is that?" I slid my ass onto the table.

He looked at me looking for the right words. "I can not explain, something you find for yourself."

I just looked at him not understanding. "Okay." I said slowly.

"So why do you ask?" He asked while putting the brown binder back in the drawer.

"Well so many people have a big goal, something they will do whatever they can to achieve it." Biting my lip. "I don't have one."

He put his hands together and looked at me, nodding his head making me see the teacher in him again. "What do you want?"

"That's the thing, I just don't know. I have never had one."

"Not even a small goal?" Looking up at the ceiling.

"Just things like wanting to learn archery or try out a new game."

"Now it is Learn first aid and how to track."

I looked over and smiled. "Ya."

Looking at him as he was busy I stood up again. "Well thanks for the help." I smiled and moved to leave.

"In an hour I am meeting Naruto to eat, come join if you want." I smiled back at him as I have barely seen him and I nodded.

"Would love to."

I wondered to the grocery store as it was near the Ramen shop and I had nothing else to do. This store is so cute, it held anything you would need, maybe not everything you would want in a grocery store. I just shopped and hung around in the freezer section to long feeling so hot. I found stuff to make garlic bread as I stood with the door open making me smile.

The line was short as I waited lost in my thoughts when I noticed the old lady in front of my was panicking. She was digging in her small coin purse before looking at what she needed less.

I looked at the cash girl. "I got it." I said with no emotion, they both looked at me shocked. "All of it, just add it to mine." There was a paused moment between us as the cashier smiled and nodded and put her stuff in a bag.

"Thank you, so much." She bowed to me and thanked me again before she left, I just gave a small smile and a nod.

Putting my stuff on the counter and she rang me in. "That was nice of you." I gave a small smile.

"I have been there." Grabbed my bag and went back towards the Ramen place they will be at.

I just smoked as I leaned on a building and watched the sky when Naruto showed up looking around. "He is not here yet." I spoke up making him smile at me. "He invited me."

"Good, he said he was paying."

I looked at him funny, I am sure he got the same amount I did.

He sat down so I followed, Naruto ordered and I decided to. "Glad to be home?" I asked after I ordered.

"Ya, it was so cold there."

"Snow can be fun."

"The tossing of the balls was fun." He smiled at me. "I am going on a new mission tomorrow."

I looked at him. "Really so soon?"

"You're not?" He looked surprised.

"Where you going?" the food was brought to us quickly.

"Some race or something." He said snapping his chopsticks and downing his food. I smiled at the speed as I slowly ate mine. Iruka sat between us as he was happy to see Naruto.

"So you two had the mission together, how was it?"

Naruto perked up talking about snow and spring, the thing attached to his chest and badass fighting. My mood fell as he glanced over the horrible things that happened. I gave a small semi fake smile "Naruto kept on disappearing with the princess." I laughed. "But in the end it was him who won the battle."

"My rasengan destroyed him." He is a cocky hot headed little fuck isn't he, a smile on my face at this kid.

The kid downed a few bowls before I was done one. "Sakura stole me a snowboard, its hanging on my wall waiting to use it someday." I said quietly.

That confused Naruto, we really did not do the mission together but without him it might have ended differently, damn girl kept on running away.

"So do you have a mission soon like Naruto?" Iruka asked

I shook my head. "My teammates are not here at the moment." Swallowing my food. "Do you ever go on missions?" He said no, as a teacher he never leaves the village.

"Strangely when I left your training I never wanted to leave but going outside the village is just amazing." He smiled at me like I was growing.

Naruto agreed as he sipped his soup before saying he will get better then Sasuke.

We chatted as we ate. Naruto however had five. I saw the dejected face of Iruka as he was paying for it, he was going to pay for mine as he invited me but I paid it myself.

The tracking class will be in tomorrow morning at eight am and First aid not for a week. There was one today and soon about the transformation technique, with nothing to do I decided to go.

I walked into a classroom early and there was just one small girl sitting at the front with long black hair and the creepy eye's of Hyuga, she stared at me coldly so I took a seat in the back.

I leaned on my arms and just looked around when a women came in, hair tight in a bun, her boobs so big it made her shit hang unfaltering over her body.

I gave her the normal smile I do to every stranger that looks my way but she took that as permission to sit next to me.

She sat so close and spoke with pep. "Hey." I gave a bored hey back and she told me her name, speaking so fast I could not keep up as a few more kids came into the class room taking a seat at the front.

"I am not a ninja, I see you are." I glanced curious, so regular people can still use chakra? "I have been training a little to use this Jutsu." I was about to respond. "I think it is cool to be able to change your looks, it is really cool." I nodded and opened my mouth. "I want to be taller and if I can hold it long people wont know its me, you know maybe get the truth on how they see you." I was about to speak again but she gave me no time. "But mostly I am doing it so I can stalk my boyfriend without him knowing it's me." Startling me.

This lady!

A group of three kids came in with Headbands. They seemed the normal Genin age, I think they are a team. They spoke quietly as they sat on the closest table to the door. The woman next to me just kept on talking about what she can do with this skill.

Maybe next time I should glare like that little girl.

She did shut up once the teacher came in and started.

"So today we will learn how to make a flawless transformation, how to change the way you move and talk to completely change your identity correctly."

I was back in the same class room for tracking class.

Only six people this time and the teacher was different, this one was a proud women with her hair in a ponytail and the red marks like Kiba. A large dog next to her lying on the cold floor making me want to pet it.

This was a two part class and will last a few hours, first inside here and then outside in the forest.

I listened as she explained the basics and some tips and tricks to not be tracked yourself.

Ninja's are hard to track and if they know what they are doing it is almost impossible the see any.

We were here for an hour as she answered questions before we all followed her at a run to a forest.

Standing there was a second member of the clan with short Spiky hair flying out in a crazy mess. This time she had three dogs with her, there was a brown and white beast who's back was lined up with her waist, on the other side was a small fluffy gray one that came just under her knee but looked just as tough as the first and last was a black boy who's size was in the middle while he sat awkwardly on his butt breathing heavily with its tongue out.

She put us into teams of two, first we track the dogs given to us and make sure we are tracking the right dog, being nin dogs they were smart. I was put on a team with a black haired boy about sixteen who walked over to me.

She handed us our dogs, we got the black one, it walked over understanding completely but then he flipped on his back and rubbed himself in the dirt as the other two stood strong and ready with the others.

"Great we got moon moon." I mumbled, the kid not understand my reference but he understood my tone and nodded a little confused.

I wanted to pet him still but I was unsure if that was a mistake. After she yelled a word they all ran off into the forest, our dog got up and ran faster then the others and was just gone.

After a moment they let us all run in after our dogs. We could tell ours had a larger gait and we followed the crazy path when they started to get closer together meaning he slowed down and then it got harder as he stepped softer.

The kid was better at this then me as he followed a path before we were stuck. "There is a broken piece of...wood?" I pointed in a different direction on the ground, forgetting the word, he gave me a look like I was dumbass.

"They call it a stick." Making me laugh. "Idiot." I just smiled as we followed the path I found this time.

We passed the other trails of other dogs but it was easy to tell the difference.

Stalked him for about ten minutes until we stood there stumped.

When the kid looked up and saw our dog way up in a tree, Looking up he blended into the shadows well as his eyes creepily glowed. He may be derpy but he is smart, once we saw him he jumped down between us and started to run.

Not wasting a second we chased him, his speed was incredible but we kept up decently, now that his paws were digging into the ground again we couldn't lose him, we chased him in circles around the forest, we did pass a second group as we flashed by.

Having an idea I left my teammate to chase and I ran in a circle around the area trying to get ahead of the dog.

Sliding in I jumped infront of the speedball and we tackled each other as I hugged him lightly around his neck, we both slid across the grass. I laughed hugging the dog before we both got on our feet. "Does that mean we got him?" The kid sounded slightly amused.

The dog just sat down with his tongue out and waited for us to tell him what to do. "Smart boy." I patted his head. "Guess we go back?"

He understood but first shoved his face along the ground as he ran in the grass before he got up straight and we headed back to the group. We were the second group to catch the dog but the winner did not win anything anyway.

Once the last group showed up we moved on. Next we will try and track each other. Using the new skills to track and also stay untrackable.

Two teams at a time, two run, two track.

We all sat around as to many at once would suck but now there was plenty foot prints and broken twigs after the dog chase.

It was my turn to run in as some girl was to find me.

I know my sense would be useful in this but I planned to ignore it as much as I could to get this right.

I made sure to step lightly and used all she already taught me, a smile on my face at this game, moving like my dog in no real direction and even back tracking. I felt my chakra pull, even ignoring it I saw it and I jumped up into a tree. Looking down it was the other teams tracker following me I breathed out and moved from tree to tree.

I passed the other runner who I scared when I landed next to them with a smile and jumped away. I just enjoyed running around and no matter how much I tried to not use it, I had an advantage in here I could not stop.

So I could avoid that poor girl for a while.

I saw my old teammate run by, I guess the other team found his person and she sent in the next.

I then went looking for my girl, passing the second tracker chasing my old teammate when I found her I followed her as she walked on the ground looking sad and angry as she kicked at a rock.

Feeling guilty and wanting to track I decided to 'fuck up' and let her find me, it was unfair to her anyway.

I then was caught by her and we walked out as she smiled like a winner walking out of the forest, I sat in the grass and waited for the next round, picking at the grass and then my dog walked over and leaned his head on my leg so I started to pet him. No one noticed.

I kind of love this derpy dog.

I stood with a smile as I was made to find some young girl and I watched her run off.

She said 'go' and I ran in, the amount of foot prints were crazy and I did not know hers, I tried to find the most recent set in the dirt that sat over the rest as I slowly walked.

I felt her making me sigh, I recognized her chakra too I walked to my left as the ten year old was hiding under a bush. "Hi." I said sadly and waved at her making her crawl out sadly and we walked back.

I was sad that I never really tracked her, I may have headed the right way unsure if I actually tracked her correctly or just got lucky.

I sat down on a stone bench under a nice tree having a snack as the tracking thing took all morning. With no missions and no one to train with I did not know what to do as I looked around aimlessly.

I saw Kakashi down the road strolling with his hands in his pockets, he turned my way and I waved at him but he just jumped away.

My face dropped, I know he saw me, so he really does not like me?

I thought back at all his smiles during the last mission. They were fake or like the coddling of a child. I stared at my sad sandwich heartbroken, that is to bad as he made my first time here barrable.

Sighing I noticed a kid about 17 that was walking and could not keep his eyes of a girl my age walking by in a skin tight purple dress, I watched with amusement I saw what was about to happen.

He walked straight into the pole and moving so fast he ended up falling on his ass holding his head.

laughing as a thought popped into my head.

I smirked and decided to have some fun.

I jumped into a covered area and transformed my looks, pulling something from home.

The first idea was turning into a big biker guy in leather with an impressive beard and tattoos on every open spot. So curious how these people would look at me, I walked from behind the tree and started to just walk around with a get out of my way attitude.

I was expecting confusion but all I got was fear making me feel guilty, one mom grabbed her kids and shuffled them away, my path was open for me, I hated the way I made them feel so I ran down an alleyway and changed my look.

I decided this time to try out something else from home but not scary. I changed my hair in a rainbow style, For the clothes, some bright blue loose shorts, my old cute gray boots I landed in because I missed them. A small black strappy bralette to show off my real belly button piercing and fake snake bit piercings and a light old lady flowered cardigan.

I sped away from the back of alleyway quickly and then calmly walked through the town, when I looked back at two ninja's looking down the area I just came from making me speed walk away. This time I got what I wanted, confusion as I smiled at everyone.

A young girl walked up to me and asked where I got this awesome look from, not sure what to say I just smiled, pointed to my ear and shook my hand in a I can't hear way before I jumped away.

I hid again quickly before I switched again.

I turned into a hot busty blonde chick with ombre hair and a tight red dress with the high black heals. I loved this as I strutted around. The males mouths would drop and some females, a few plugged there noses and some looked at me with hate but they all checked me out.

I held almost everyone's gaze, man it is something empowering being this hot.

I enjoyed this a little longer.

One more.

As I was hidden again, I went gothic and steampunk, a look I know is not here. My hair was pure white and my makeup was thick as I wore a black steampunk leather outfit with a flowing and open in the front skirt showing off knee high black leather boots.

I jumped onto a roof this time and walked slowly across it, many stopped to look at me making me stand still for a moment, mouths were open, confused and amazed at what I looked like.

This, this is what I wanted.

When I noticed a few ninjas from three different directions came heading towards me.

I jumped and ran passed a closed area dropping my illusion and came out the other side as me, before turning and pointing like I just saw this lady run that way as they passed over and I walked back with my hand in my pocket just looking around. Looking up I swear I saw the tail end of Kakashi, probably not.

Making me sad again as I just headed home.

I stood in front of the Hokage and she looked just overwhelmed. "I have a D rank for you." I nodded. "It is just getting a specific plant."

She pulled out a picture. "There is a small mountain it grows at the top." She put a map on top of the picture. "I am low on genin right now so you will be alone."

I just nodded, getting a flower seems easy.

"It is medical and needed, so fill up a basket or bag." Moving forward I grabbed the picture and and map, gave a friendly nod and headed home to get ready. I could not find a bag so I went and bought the cheapest one I could find, coming across decent sized purple draw string bag, before heading to the gate.

I have never left alone before it was slightly exhilarating. Checking the map, I will be going mostly north and little west.

Jumping into the dark and gloomy trees at my own speed.

I paused come a small field as a group of deer walked by where there fawns making me sit and wait for them to pass, A buck looked up at me as he rubbed the ground with his hoof before he followed them away.

I think that means he see's danger. I was a little heartbroken to be seen as a threat.

When they all disappeared into the forest I jumped down and continued on my way.

Looking up at the tall and wide small mountain, I started just to climb with my hands and feet. A few loose rocks fell but I made my way up. I came to a small cave making me pause for a second and have a smoke, I did not need a break but I was above the tree's and I just wanted to enjoy the view.

Continuing I made it to the top, the wind blew my hair around like crazy, the air was cooler and refreshing, there was mostly just one large and crystal clear pond. The flowers grew all around it, I startled some birds as I moved to pick them. My hand touched the water and it was so fucking cold I pulled it back startled.

I made sure to pick them so that they will grow back and carefully filled my stupid bag.

I put it in the scroll and looked down, I was so high and I can't jump or run down this thing.

Moving to the edge, breathing deeply I slowly lied on my chest and moved my ass over the cliff carefully until I was completely hanging over, I looked down seeing below me I let myself fall and then caught myself, I slowly slid down the rock catching myself when I got to fast. I made it into the treeline when I felt a small pull making me stick myself to the cliffside like a bug and close my eyes.

I couldn't see anything confusing me greatly, maybe it was like a large animal.

Slowly sliding down I was able to push off and land on the soft grass, glad to be off of the mountain.

I scanned for chakra again but I couldn't see anyone, might have been a strong animal or something.

I started to jump back into the trees a little fear in my heart for no real reason, so I moved as fast as could. I heard a familiar noise as my feet landed on a branch making me jump backwards in a flip as a few Kunai landed where I would have been.

Before I even landed from the flip I was kicked in the side and ended up flying to my left trying to get a hold of myself and see who's attacking me. Twisting my body to land correctly I pulled water onto my arm.

Landing on a branch I squatted down before pushing off, just in time for more Kunai as I got a look at who was attacking me, there was a female her long brown bangs covered her headband making it unreadable, she was dressed in red with a brown vest.

She moved so fast that I barely got a good look at her, all I could do was jump around like a freak to not get hurt.

She came at me so fast, she tried to punch me as I used my water to block when it slightly cut her hand she backed off again.

She tossed more Kunai, blocking a couple with my own and my water but three hit me slightly badly as they came from behind me.

What kind of skill let's you throw Kunai from the opposite direction?

When she did it again I noticed she used Kunai to hit Kunai and hit my back, I tried to spin and block this group but another landed deep into my leg making me grimace when she was next to me again before I could respond I was flying from the tree and falling towards the ground.

I was so disoriented trying to adjust my body as she was on me again knocking me into a tree, With so much speed I hit the tree and my head bounced giving me a headache as I fell to the ground.

I almost caught myself but I was barley standing.

My whole body hurt as I tried to stand up my view was dizzy when something landed into my arm with so much pain.

All I could do was look at her with a burst of adrenalin, I tried to fight back when she came at me. My body moved on it's own as I tried to fight her with my water, she easily avoided me, my sight was going black as I saw her laughing at me.
