So now that is out of the way I can finally start the story!~
I took a few deep breaths trying to steady my breathing. My heart was beating out of my chest while my I tried to deactivate my kekkei genkai.
I kept my back pressed against the thin alley wall, head turned sideways as I watch the foreign ninja run past my weak hiding spot.
Once I was sure they were long gone I let out I tiny sigh of relief, closing my eyes.
'This village has a really strict 'No stealing' regulation, huh?'
I exited from the alleyway, making a mad dash toward the gates. Weaving in and out of all the people on the hectic streets, I finally came to a stop.
Peaking my head around the corner of the gate. I witness guard #1 asleep and guard #2 looking down at his tongue, which had emerged from his mouth as he wiggled it around.
I furrowed my eyebrows, 'These are the people they hired to protect their village?'
I strolled outside the gates, keeping my eyes locked on guard #2, who was still fascinated by his tongue.
I snorted, keeping a steady pace as I walked away from the troublesome village.
--*--
I had kept my eyes glued on the dirt path below my feet, watching intently as some dust would kick up every time I took a step.
I brought my right foot back, before swinging it forward to hit a rock. I stared keenly at the rock, before running up and kicking it again, harder this time.
My eyes widened as I heard a sharp growl from the bush the small rock soared into. A medium sized wolf stepped out of the bush, growling again.
"I like your eyes?" I stated, but it came out more as a question as the wolves eyes really weren't that pretty.
The wolf growled again but this time another came out of the bush.
'Oh HELL no.' With that final thought I spun on my heel and began sprinting towards the turn in the path I didn't take moments ago.
I pushed chakra into my feet as I ran. Finally approaching the path from before I made a sharp left.
I turned slightly, seeing as I had nearly lost the wolves. "Make haste!" I yelled, whooping and hollering.
Once I was out of the wolves sight I groaned, 'Where am I now?'
After walking for about 7 hours, I decided it would be in my best interest if I took a break.
I set up camp veering of the path to the right.
--*--
I groaned in distaste as I sat up, rubbing my eyes. 'I should've slept in a damn tree... They're way more comfortable.'
I don't exactly have what you call a 'tent', So I went with the usual alternative. I strung up sheets I stole in the tree branches, while I laid on the floor.
I stretched, causing all my limbs to pop with a satisfying crack.
Taking all the sheets down, I stuffed them in my weapon pouch. Looking up at the sky I let out a small groan, noticing it was night time.
I slung my bag over my shoulder and set off toward the path once again.
Upon arriving at the path I went in the direction I've been going for the past 7 hours, no way I'm turning back now.
A few hours later I could see the sun, just barely threatening to spill it's intoxicating rays over the large forest.
As I squinted my eyes I could see a large gate with green doors and the symbol of Konohagakure, and for short- Konoha.
I approached the gates to see two sleeping guards. 'Whats with all these villages and their lousy guards?'
I stopped for a moment, staring blankly at the guards.
I diverted my eyes back to the inside of konoha as I skipped inside.
By now it was day time, people were just beginning to flood the soon-to-be-bustling streets.
All the market owners were still half asleep, I take that as my chance to permanently borrow some stuff.
I let my gaze wander through the streets until I finally came to an apple stand.
I smirked 'Stealing from an apple stand... The old classic- Well at least it is in my world.'
I gave the lady a kind, close eyed smile. Of course I would show kindness to the nice old lady who is providing me food.
The old lady looked at the stand next to hers, so I took this opportunity to swipe an apple off the cart and into my pouch.
I smiled and waved, turning away from the cart once the woman had turned back to look at me.
I blended into the crowd once more, pulling out the apple and beganning to chew on it nonchalantly.
I wasn't really 'feeling the steal' as I like to call it, so I looked for my next victim.
My eyes finally landed on a jonin with an orange book sticking out of his ninja pouch.
'Bingo.' I thought as I approached my next target.
This is officially the first chapter of Stealing is Bad~, If you have read any of my other books you would know that most of the time I would end my story with a certain phrase... comment if you know it~
