Now What Have I Gotten Myself Into? ~Enter Konoha's number one knuckle head

Chapter 11

"Hokage are powerful and wise. You are puny and brainless. The day you become Hokage I'll sprout wings and fly." Pausing at those words I look to the old man with a straw hat on his head, his bottle of alcohol still resting near his mouth. A drunk speaking to Naruto as if he knows everything? Well I can't say he isn't right but still. Not only is it unnecessarily condescending but we'll pay for those words from having to listen to Naruto yell more.

"Ahh, shut up! I'm willing to do anything to become hokage no matter what it takes!" Naruto yells a visible vein in his temple showing.

"Naruto, just ignore Tazuna, he's only a drunk, let's get moving we are wasting daylight." I say as I begin walking again.

"And you, you're a twelve year old girl and yet you wear an outfit that shows more of your body then it actually covers. How can I be sure you even have the strength to hit something with those muscles you obviously don't have?"

Turning around I shoot Tazuna an icy glare causing his steps to falter. "And you old man, how do I know that you can even stop drinking long enough to build a semi sturdy bridge?"

"Well you're a mouthy one aren't you?"

"If you don't shut up, I'll remove your tongue for you." I snarl at him before turning back around. Running a finger visibly along the hilt of one of my new blades specifically for him to see so he knew I wasn't joking before I even began walking again.

Ignoring the talking around me I watch ahead of us. Remembering how I would have reacted to taunts like that in the past. I wonder if my mentality did indeed suffer when I was turned five again. It could be quite possible really. When you look at it those younger in age have more chemical imbalances then the grown or near adult bodies contain. We all grow out of them with time. And here I still have 4 more years until these imbalances begin to straighten out. Sighing at my thoughts I move my attention more towards the sky for a moment. The sun was shining brightly. A perfect day.. Sun. I wonder how Taiyo is. By now he should be nearly fifty years old. His daughter grown into a twenty year old woman. I wonder if he's keeping the legacy alive and has trained her properly for when the day comes and she receives the death note. I also wonder if he had another child. Maybe a son.

If I wasn't stuck here I would go back and tell him who his birth mother actually was. I would tell him everything. It wasn't right for Light and I to keep that from him. He wouldn't have seen me as anything other then his mom because I was the only one taking up that role in his life. His mom died in the interrogation of L under the guise of S. She was the second Kira. At least he would have known that all three of his parents had believed in the same thing. Either way he knew both of his parents did. I wonder if he's thought about me since I left. With me around it had to of been weird for him. People at first thought me to be his mom and as time past I was seen as his big sister and then finally his little sister. He never knew a mom that aged with his father. A mom he could openly in public yell 'Mom!' He always had to be careful. Mindful of the effect that it could have had to our family.

I, was never human. I was born the way I am and in a family like myself. I've known the excruciating pain of loneliness along with the joy of being saved from such a painful existence. To turn around and feel an even worse pain then I had adapted as life. To lose the very reason, for my existence. To lose the one who had quickly become everything to me. No, he wasn't murdered so I had no one to get revenge on. But, time itself took him from my grasp. So I have sworn to myself, I will defeat time. Until then, I cannot allow myself to get close to or care for anyone who isn't like me. Someone whose body doesn't freeze in time. So if I must act like I am heartless. If I must keep people away from me by instilling fear in them. I will. That is just something I decided a long time ago while I was still in the academy.
