25th May 1616

Today, I woke up at 5 am. I decided that today I am going to take a break from training. I had to help prepare a surprise birthday party for Iruka-sensei. Iruka-sensei had always encouraged me to do my best. He was the one who testified that I didn't cheat on my tests when another teacher had accused me. This had happened during the academy but to this day, I still can feel the feeling of his warm hand on my shoulder, encouraging me to never give up.

I knew that he did not think of me as great as he did of Naruto. This however was fine with me since he didn't give up on me either way. He always cheered on me silently. It was enough for me to think of him as a good person. I have celebrated Iruka-sensei's birthday with him for about 5 years now. This will be the 6th year. He doesn't know how to cook much but he loves homemade food. I usually bring him food my mom helped me make and a small cake. In the past 2 years, he started spending his birthday lunches with me and his dinners drinking with his friends.

It was still fun and he told me about his missions and life as an actual ninja. He was basically like an older brother figure in my life. We weren't close enough to discuss too private things but we were like friends. Nowadays, I know how to cook so I usually cook for him on his birthday and his parent's death anniversary. Iruka-sensei gets too overwhelmed to do any chores on that day. It's been like this for 2 years now. He is a great listener and he gets flustered easily when I tease him about his crush on the female ninja who works at the Hokage tower.

He is the only close friend I have other than Ino. And as of right now... Ino and I haven't contacted each other since we got allocated to our teams. I'm too scared to send any letters. I even avoid the road that her family flower shop is on. I didn't want to fight over Sasuke anymore but I just know that she is not gonna take it seriously. Even I wouldn't easily believe that the huge crush I had on a guy suddenly disappeared.
