The Guardian Angel (Naruto Fan fiction)

5.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

~Time Skip~

The time has finally come. The time were I must leave the nest in order to save those who need it. And perhaps, maybe even make new friends! Kami knows how much I love the Naruto cast.

I am currently 10 years of age. I've grown since I came here and to be honest? I think about home everyday. My mother, my siblings, my friends... Zac.

Contrary to popular belief, I regard that boy higher than most. Y'see, Amelia- or Akuma if you will -is right. I happen to have taken quite a liking to the dark haired older twin. He, along with his sister, was the first guy to ever befriend me for my personality and not my status.

As I stood there, in front of the village gates, my father was trying his damn hardest to appear neutral. I could tell, because I was too. Finally he looked away from me and muttered a small "good luck".

I grinned, teary eyed, and hugged him to my hearts desire. "I'll miss you so much daddy, but I promise to come back. There is just a little something I must do so we can live happily ever after. Ok?"

I felt him hug me tighter. "I don't doubt you in the slightest, princess. I know you'll make me proud. Just promise me you'll be safe."

At the sound of those words I lost my grin and my eyes lost their battle. He finally warmed up. I cried into his shoulder for a little while until I remembered, I have to go. This journey will not be easy, but the reward will be worth every injury. Mental, or physical, consequence, and obstacle.

I let go of him and dried my tears. I looked down to gather my act together again and then looked at him straight in the eyes. I grinned, a sparkle of determination most definitely making an appearance in my eyes.

"Awwww c'mon dad!! Are you seriously gonna start doubtin' me now!? Right before my journey into awesomeness!? Don't worry dad, I'll be fine!! I was trained by the best remember?" I exclaimed, my excitement truly showing. He just chuckled and nodded.

Next were the orphans. Yahiko was ranting about how I better show the world what I'm made of and bring peace all over. *Sigh* "Oi!! Numb nuts!! Tone it down will you!? I'm not conquering the world!! Just trying to save it from complete destruction!!" I yelled at him totally flustered.

"But, I admit I'll miss you big brother... Thank you for being there for me when I needed you to be." I told him honestly.

Yahiko shut up, smiled, and hugged me. "Of course Tink. Anything for my little sister. Just remember, if any guy hurts you I'm right here for some serious butt whooping got it? I'm just a letter away." He said, a small yet sweet smile gracing his face. I was not amused by the nickname. Stupid Amelia.

Nagato simply came up to me and hugged me, placing a small kiss on the top of my head. "Please be safe. I don't want to have to think of a life without you. You're the princess to my knight. Without my princess, who am I, you're knight in shining armor, supposed to devote my life and protection to?" he sweetly asked me.

I smiled gently at him.

"Nagato, my knight in shining armor, if I were to ever perish, you are to devote your life and protection to the village. The village that has brought us together. The village that needs you. The village that loves you. Am I understood?"

He smirked. "You truly are a smart little girl. But, please do take care of yourself milady." he winked at me playfully. "For I, and the rest of us, care a great deal about you and if you were to die... Let's just say please don't..."

I just smiled at his embarrassed face. He truly is a sweetheart.

Konan on the other hand, was a bawling mess. She flung herself at me and made me swear, promise, and declare that I'd stay in contact with her.

"What am I to do without my little imouto!? Nee-chan needs her little imouto!! What if the boys decide to be... Well... BOYS!? What if I need you? What am I going to do!?"

She ranted as she sobbed hysterically.

"Nee-chan..." I started. I just hugged her and let her cry it out as I patted her head reassuringly. Seriously. Who's the oldest one? Well... Technically me but still...

"Remember, though miles may lie between us we are never far apart, for friendship doesn't count miles it's measured by the heart." I told her pointing my hand on where her heart should be located.

I felt her tense up and watched her eyes widen in recognition. She let go of me and looked me in the eye. A look of determination filling them.

"Of course. How could I have forgotten?" She dried her face and smiled brightly at me her face still looking as if she'd been crying for hours. "You truly are too smart for your age... And remember. If you ever need me, for anything, don't hesitate to call for me." She said handing me an origami rose.

At last, after my well needed farewells, I faced the gate that was now open as if to say 'go, we believe in you'

Without turning around, knowing I'd regret it, I raised my hand and pointed to the sky. Yes, that's a fairy tail thing but I figured it was appropriate in the current situation. DON'T JUDGE!!

Hanzo knew what it meant, for I had told him a couple years prior to this.

I was heading out finally crossing the gates. I was currently heading to Yume, the village hidden among dreams. It's a small village near the borders of the land of fire.

Of course I should probably tell you what my purpose in going there is. You see, when I was 7-8 ish, I contacted a couple people about my existence and my purpose. They agreed with me. I battled a bit for it but they finally agreed with me.

We are to meet in Yume and discuss an alliance. Some didn't acknowledge me on purpose and that's fine. Who would take an 8 year old girl seriously? Not that they knew I was 8 but still.

I just hope they know I'm stubborn and will be tracking them down and kindly 'ask' them to join me. ^ω^

Any who, you must be wondering who I have summoned. Well... They're no ordinary people if I'm to be completely honest.

I probably would've been too scared to talk to them if it weren't for the fact that before I left the village I made sure to test my ninja ranking. Which, if you're curious, just happens to be an ANBU by Konoha standards.

Oh. Right. Sorry, I keep getting distracted. The people I'm about to go rendezvous with are the one and only bijuu's.

Well, most of them. Obviously I couldn't tell foxy about Kurama, and Gaara straight out ignored me but the rest are coming. Took me 2-3 years but it's happening nonetheless.

As I walk towards my destination I can only think of one thing though.

It's time.
