The Blood Red Eyes

The Leaf Village

Akira's pov:

1 year later...

"Phew!" I panted as I just finished the training for today.

I had been training for 6 hours straight which is one hour more than usual. I look around looking for Tsunade or Shizune but to no avail. I sighed as I sensed their Chakra in the trees by where I was training. As I leaped over there I caught Tsunade burning a scroll while sighing.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked Tsunade while jumping down from the tree I was standing on.

"Well, nothing bad but how would you like to visit Konoha Akira?" Tsunade asked me.

"Well, I don't mind going there but is there a reason why?" I asked her.

"Well the Hokage would like to meet you and discuss something, that's all," she replied.

"Oh ok... Sure then!" I said enthusiastically," when are we leaving??"

"Tomorrow, right when the sun's up so we can get there by the after noon? Is that okay with you??" She asked.

"Yup! No problem," I replied.

Tsunade's pov:

As I watch Akira train I catch a bird swooping down with a scroll. I raise my arm up and let the bird land on my arm. I then open up the scroll and opened it up. I was shook when I realized it was from the Hokage. I started walking a little bit more into the forest Shizune trailing behind me as I read the content of the scroll.

Dear Tsunade,

I am aware that you have been training Akira for a year now and I know she possesses Chunin level power or even jonin level. However, I think it's about time that she meets some kids her own age and for her to converse with other kids. I would like for you guys to come back to the village so I can properly introduce myself and discuss some things with her.

                                   Sincerely, Lord Hokage

As I sense Akira coming closer I burn the scroll before she could see.

Akira's pov:

Even after all I've been through, being kidnapped and all I've still managed to keep a happy expression. Tsunade and Shizune always say that I'm too nice for my own good and that it's ok to shout and cry infront of someone and that it's only natural, but I wouldn't listen to them. I like keeping a happy expression on, I like pretending like everything is okay and that there's nothing wrong. It's just my way of coping I guess.

As I'm laying in bed, I rethink my life. I do that sometimes when I can't sleep and have nothing to do. I rethink about the small village, my parents that abandoned me, the kidnapping, training and all the memories of me, Tsunade and Shizune laughing.

Then I doze off...

The next morning...

I start waking up as the sunlight seeps through the curtains of my room. Today was the day, the day I visit where Tsunade was trained.

I dress up in a pretty casual ninja outfit that I use to train, even though it's a little worn out. I'm wearing a black corset top with dark blue shorts. Once I finished getting ready I meet Tsunade and Shizune outside.

"You ready to go Akira?" asked Shizune.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I replied.

-Time skip-

Once we arrived at the gate we were greeted with 2 guards going by the names of Izumo and Kotetsu. They were practically shaking as they were speaking to Tsunade, but I guess she really has that kind of effect on people.
