Life...what is it exactly? good question because i don't know either.

Some say life is a gift, some say it's a curse.

Some believe that there is a point, and some don't.

Some believe that there is a purpose and some don't.

Eventually, you will find your meaning. You will find what you were looking for.

But some have to look harder...

For some, they have to fight for it.

In the beginning, i hated mine, i never found it worth living.

but i kept going because something told me it was worth it.

The voice was faint...but it was there.

So i kept going.

I didn't want to, but i had to. for them.

Why? You ask...well it all leads back to one moment. one night.

I'm not saying that is the only reason why i didn't want to continue.

But it was one of them. It all started on a stormy night.

Where everything changed...

Thunder was heard in the sky, the rain was pouring with no end.
As if God was crying like he knew what would happen.

The Tamaya clan was hiking to the Konoha leaf village in the fire country.
The men, the women, the children, the ninjas...they were all there.

"We have to find shelter, The rain is getting heavier by the second!!" Said one of the clan members who was just trying to survive.

"Understood!" Said one of the hired ninjas of the Konoha village, "It's our top priority to help you".

"Take them to the cave on the hill, it's our safest place to take cover!" Said another ninja from Konoha.

The Tamaya clan was planning to finally join the Konoha village after years of living in the sand village.

The Tamaya clan has always been a part of Konoha, but the elder leaders of the clan had disagreements with the Hokage at the time, they decided to try to overthrow the Hokage and planned to take over for the benefit of their clan.

But they ended up getting caught. The leaders and the ninjas who helped from the clan were executed. The rest of the clan was accused of betrayal, so they were forced to move out of the village, to the other half of their roots, the sand village.
The clan has been mixed with the sand village for years.

At first, the Kazekage did not want the Tamaya clan to be a part of the village because of what happened in Konoha.

But after reconsideration, the Kazekage knew that not the entire clan was responsible for what happened and that it was a secret mission.

"Everyone! Head to the cave near us, take shelter there!" Said the leaf ninja to the clan on the move.

Carts moving, crying children, and yelling was heard through the night...

The clan settled in the cave to pass the storm.
All the families were seated.

"Erin, why don't you take the blanket, you will catch a cold." Said a concerned mother to her 7-year-old daughter.

"No I'm okay mom, thank you, I'm not cold." Said Erin, the green-eyed and brown-haired girl to her mother.

The mother looked around, she saw all the crying children in the cave, and wondered, are they making the right choice? is this what is going to save their clan..?
