SHE WAS FRUSTRATED BEYOND
belief. Scrolls and books were spread out before her, mocking her, challenging her, as if her anger wasn't enough. As a Nara that's typically composed she couldn't help but fume in anger. Turns out learning fuinjutsu was extremely difficult, you had to be precise in everything. Make one single mistake, make a wrong line, a kanji that looks wrong or misspelled can create chaos.
The eye bags underneath her eyes were the sole proof of that. She had stayed up all night trying to understand, trying to learn— trying to at least make some progress in her work. But all her beta test had failed her, of course she never tried on a living person and neither does she condone animal cruelty. She had tested it on papers but each had either blown up in flames— she believed she created a black hole as well. Everything in her room was sucked into the portal, it had caused mass destruction in her home.
Perhaps maybe she should do it outside next time. And as much as she hated leaving her work unfinished, [Name] had places to go to. For example, meeting her teammates at the entrance of the village. She doubted Kakashi was there already, no doubt the others were waiting for the two of them but she hardly cared. She was going through a crisis, and her silly dream could wait for her. After all none of this was real; she was stuck in a coma.
Unable to wake up, she hoped her family had faith in her to wake up. Sooner or later she will. It just takes time, but how much longer can she wait? How long can she keep being in a comatose state before the bills keep piling up on her parents and the only thing they could do left is pull the plug. She dreaded to even think about it, such horrid thoughts should leave her mind quickly.
Her droopy eyes caught sight of her teammates smoldering in annoyance. With a mocking smile present on her face, she waved at them. Today was their big day, their horrible frightening energy waste of a mission. A mission to which she new the outcome already, a mission where she would be wasting her time on trivial matters. Didn't they know she has better things to worry about? God— just imagine the fight between Zabuza and her teammates. She'll have to participate, why is life such a drag?
Ignoring the irritated looks from her teammates, [Name] walked side by side with Naruto. Occasionally sighing in response to his burst of happiness; how can someone be so energetic in the morning? ❝ What are you getting so excited for, Naruto? You're such a drag at this hour ❞ [Name] preened at him, awfully confused as to why he would hold such brightness in ungodly hours. She wondered what Shikamaru was doing, he was probably sleeping without her. At times like these she couldn't help but miss her other half
❝ This is the first time Ive left the village, ya know! ❞ Naruto grinned ear to ear, baby blue eyes locking in on his surroundings. He was like an excited baby Labrador meeting their owner after a long day. Tazuna however was more like an old shabby pug who grew to resent everyone ❝ Am I suppose to trust my life to this runt! He's a joke! ❞ he pointed at Naruto. Kakashi feeling rather irritated by the unnecessary arguments felt as the grownup of this situation it was his responsibly to diffuse the situation. ❝He's with me and I'm a Jonin, so there's no need to worry ❞
Naruto fumed in anger, huffing and puffing he turned around. Pointing at Tazuna with the widest smile he could muster ❝ Never insult a ninja! It's a big mistake, and I'm one of the greatest ninja ever! Some day in going to be Hokage and you'll look up to me! I'm Naruto Uzumaki remember it ❞ Tazuna merely blinked in response, he took a quick swing of his drink. ❝ A Hokage is powerful and wise. You're punny and brainless, the day you become Hokage I'll sprout wings and fly❞
[Name] narrowed her eyes in response, ❝Then prepare for fly ❞ was her blunt answer. She didn't care about the odd stares coming from her teammates or the gleaming look Naruto was giving her. Why was everyone such a drag? Just talking was enough to tire her out— don't even get started on her long term planning jutsu. Pumping large amounts of chakra into the sealing was hard enough for her. The rest of her chakra was emitted to normal activities and occasional few jutsus she's been using. She'll have to hinderance it's flow little by little, most of her chakra will be used during this scenario.
Her footsteps stilled for a second, the flicker of an unknown chakra source was nearby. [Name] glanced over at her teammates, oblivious to the looming threat over their shoulders. As a chakra sensor she was able to sense them nearby, a very much gifted ability she had managed to be born with. That's said— the others along with Kakashi hadn't sensed them yet. ❝ Say Mister Tazuna your country is the land of waves right?❞ Sakura only got a grunt and a nod from Tazuna. Her green eyes narrowed in response to his manners, ❝Kakashi sensei, there are ninja in that country too aren't there? ❞
[Name] zoned out of the conversation finding it useless to ask such questions. She was just buttering it up to Kakashi and Tazuna, trying to get their praise. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Sakura smirk in her direction, head high and nose upwards in triumph. ❝ Hey—! You all just doubted Lord Hokage, didn't you? ❞ It was at the moment where [Name] had stopped walking. Her cold blazing eyes fixated upon Kakashi who seemed to stutter in his footsteps. ❝ Of course, It's only natural to do so❞
Kakashi narrowed his eyes at her, he was still quite unraveled by yesterday's situation by no means did he feel comfortable with her around. ❝ Oh? And why is that? ❞ he asked, feeling quite cautious about her answer— he knew a threat when he saw one. To doubt the Hokage was a big deal. After all the Hoakge represents the will of fire. He knew she didn't have their so called motto inside of her and that could be a potential threat to the village. A missing nin—a deserting ninja was the worst possible outcome you could turn out to be. Scum who abandon their village ❝ A prestigious clan was massacred in one night leaving only one sole survivor. Don't you find that odd? One hundred perhaps two hundred if I'm pushing past the new generation and yet no one heard or saw anything? ❞
The air around them thickened, it almost seemed as if nature joined forces. The birds stoped chirping and the air stilled, the only thing left to be heard was their hesitance. Naruto shifted uncomfortably in his spot had finally managed to get a grip of himself and asked the unfortunate question, that many dread to hear or ask ❝ What are you trying to say? ❞ his voice was meek. [Name] scowled at their obliviousness, had no one really questioned what happened? Her gaze traveled to Sasuke who stared at her with an odd expression. An expression she knew well, grief, sorrow, and anger
❝ All of you are sheep. Think about it ❞ she hissed, ❝ Hundreds if not more we're murdered in one night your telling me you wouldn't scream when a psychopath is coming to murder you? You wouldn't panic? You wouldn't scream at the top of your lungs? For someone to hear? You're telling me no one heard anything outside of the compound? Not a single soul? Someone to help? What did the Hokage do to help? Did he launch a full investigation as to why the murder did such a thing? Did he try tracking him down? All he declared was that the murder ' snapped ' It was a slap on the wrist ❞ her cheeks were flushed as she soon stopped talking. Sasuke usually the quiet one of the group had finally stepped up ❝What are you trying to say ❞
It was remarkable as to how far the secret of the Uchiha massacre was kept hidden. But it was all because they were fools. Stupid fucks who had pledged loyalty— who were brainwashed into oblivion to believe everything the Hokage said is law. Pursing her lips, she stared down at him. The Nara shook her head, waving her hand in dismissal. Just thinking about it was beginning to be such a drag, she'll have to explain it again and that's too much work for her at the moment ❝Forget about it, the lot of you are nothing but troublesome ❞
