"Before you leave, your name is Chi, correct?" I looked back, and gave a deadly smirk to the examiner, more specifically Kakashi. 

"Chi Momochi." I saw Kakashi's eyes widen right before turning around.

"Bye." I said, right before I walked out the doors. 

The real adventure begins now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ran through the village. I don't think Kakashi would miss the other's battles, and he kept looking at Sasuke, so he probably wants to have an important talk. 

He wouldn't waste his time tracking me down. I'm not worth it. 

I ran faster when I saw the big walls. With chakra, I ran up. Once I reached the top, I stopped for a second to catch my breath. 

I looked back at the village. What can I say? I came here to kill Hatake. Instead, I've been buddies with him. Ha, I'm so pathetic. But now, this time it will be different. Instead of getting revenge, I'm going to fix what I've done. I took off my forehead protector. I stared at it for a minute, before folding it so that the Konoha Symbol is seen, and centered. 

I jumped off the walls, landing on my feet. I ran, to the place where it all began. And no, it is not my home. It's the village. 

It didn't take too long to get there, especially while running. The blood was still everywhere, as if the rain was punishing me by not washing it away. 

I took a deep breath. This is all me. Now, it's time to suck it up. I went to a huge patch of empty land. I began to dig. Not with a shovel, but with my own hands. I'm not going to take the easy way out anymore.

 I dug wholes for every person in the village. Yes, I remember all of them, and I will never forget them. No, that would be taking the easy way, simply forgetting. I will own up to this pain. I will not run away. 

~~~~~

I've been digging for days, only taking short breaks. But, I've done it. I made a hole for everyone. However, it is not time for rest yet. There is so much more to do. I began to carry bodies to the holes. I cringed as some of these people weren't even recognizable. 

When all that was left was Ami, and her family, I trembled. I'm sorry. I never meant for this to happen.... Ha, I'm saying this after years of your death? After your body is just an empty shell, left for bugs to feast on? I shut my eyes, and carried Ami, and her family to the holes. 

I looked at the bodies. 

I'm sorry.... 

I never meant for this to happen....

I will fix my wrong doings. I will rebuild this place, no matter how long it takes! I will make people happy here! I will start from scratch, just please forgive me! 

~~~~~

It's been 2 weeks since then. I've been keeping myself busy cleaning the blood inside the houses, and outside on the sidewalks. I have fixed, and cleaned most of the houses, and I planted crops. Now what should I do? 

Maybe I didn't think about this enough... 

Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. I quickly looked over, making my hand a sword out of instinct. It was a man. He was holding his stomach. I turned the sword back into my hand. 

"Hello?" Then I noticed that he was covered in blood. 

"Are you okay?!" I shouted, rushing over to him. He looked at me, before closing his eyes, and falling to the ground. I used water to turn him over. Blood was gushing out from his stomach. What do I do?! There are no other people who can help.
