My Phoenix

Chapter 43: Final Round Performance

I was looking down at the people from my balcony as their walk around the streets of Konoha before turning my eyes up to the moon.

It has already been a month. I though since tomorrow is the final rounds which made me wondering how Naruto's and Sasuke's training was going for them since last time I saw them.

However ever since our date Sasuke would visit me late at night well I was sleeping and wake me up with a kiss to the forehead before joining me in bed as we fall to sleep in each other arms for the rest of the night.

Then he leaves early in the morning before I wake up but he would leave a rose at my nightstand with note, letting me know that he went to train and that he loves me.

But tonight Sasuke couldn't come over because he told me that he'll training long until he's match.

I could understand it and I simply ask him to do best and I'll see him at the stadium.

I sigh and when inside to go to bed.

The next day, I made my way to the stadium, however before I could enter, I was stopped.

"Hello Nikki." It was Iruka-sensei.

"Huh, Iruka-sensei?" I wondered curiously.

"Lord Hokage, ask me to bring you to him." He told me.

I blinked confused but follow him anyway.

Iruka-sensei took me to a privated waiting room where grandpa Hokage was.

I smile. "Hey, Grandpa!" I greeted him with a hug before looking at him curiously. "You wanted to see me?"

Grandpa Hokage smile at me. "Hello, my dear. How is your training going." He asked.

"It's going really well, I'm getting use to my wings and other abilities." I told him as I brought out my wings and held out my hand.

Grandpa Hokage chuckle proudly. "Wonderful my dear, now the reason I call you're here is because I was hopping you could perform before the matches start at the finals?"

I look at him shock with widened eyes and jaw-dropped. "EEEEHHH...!!"

"Y-you w-want me-e to sing!?" I stutters in complete shock as my eyes was spinning.

Grandpa Hokage simply replied with a nod.

"I don't know grandpa." I said unsure since I never sing in front of a large crowd.

Grandpa Hokage notice this and sigh, waving me to come closer.

Once I stand in front of him, he gently take my hands. "You growing so much from the moment you took your first breathe in this world and it time to show the world the return of the Phoenix Princess of the Mikage clan." He told me, smiling as he patting my hands.

I stared at him for a moment when I felt a present at both side of me, hugging me causing me to have a warm feeling in my heart.

I don't know why but it felt so familiar but shake it off once it was gone.

"Okay, grandpa Hokage. I'll do it." I told completely determinted.

"Good. Here I get you something to wear for your performance." Grandpa said, handle me a bag.

"Thanks, grandpa!" I grinned to him as he leaves the room along with did other ninjas in the room with them.

Third Person's Pov

As everybody was getting ready for the final rounds to start where suddenly Naruto came flying, surprising everyone.

What kind...of entrance is this kid making...? Shikamaru though deadpanned.
