Kushina, Daughter of Naruto (Fan Fic)

Chapter 35 Determination

I heard the sound of laughing as my eyes opened in the morning. The sun was shining bright across the Konoha. 8 weeks later after my attempt of physical therapy I was back to my sulky self. Tae came to visit everyday. Asking me if my voice was in shape. I instead continued to look out in the Konoha.

The Sakura trees are blooming. Have I really been in bed this long. Spring is almost gone.

"Why are so sulky today? You were wonderful yesterday! The nurse even said you might be able to go outside! We can increase my leaf collection!" She giggled with excitement.

You said you went a date? How was it?

She twirled around the hospital room as she hummed. "It was magical. He finally learned who I was in the world! I even showed him my leaf collection! OH it was wonderful! We ate ramen, danced under the moon, and he even gave me a sakura blossom! Right when I got home I stuck it underneath my favorite book, "The History of the Gen-Xing Dynasty." She whispered in my ear. "About 1000 pages long."

I giggled in my mind. I loved Tae. She was bubbly and a different person then what I expected. So who did you date? I hope it wasn't Ushio.

"His name is Killian!"

Wait. Killian Naru? Son of Shikamaru and Tenten?

"Well who else would it be!" She blushed as she giggled once more. I sat shocked. Killian had gone and gotten himself a girlfriend. All the times he came in to give me more teddy bears for my collection his eyes were always peeled to Tae. I smiled.

Tae started rambling about how gorgeous he was and how he was a sweet heart. I let my mind drift. I hadn't seen Nyen ever since the explosion. I tried to ask Tae but she was busy doing her leaf pressing. I wanted to see her. To let her know that it wasn't her fault. I'm sure she felt very guilty about everything. I wanted to see her. I had to talk to her.

Suddenly I saw a flash of red stumble into my room. A tear stained blue eyed girl, I knew immediately, Nyen.

She dove into my room and started to weep. Tears dripped onto my blankets. Tae stopped her rambling and saw her. She knelt down next to her and started rubbing her back. I had told Tae my feelings about Nyen. How sad I feel for her. All the pain she is going through. Blaming herself.

"Kushina.....I......I'm sorry.....for whatever I've done......I should never have done that.....never.....I-"

I lifted up her neck and winced. Her blue eyes stung with tears as they stared into mine. I nodded to Tae.

"She says that it wasn't your fault. None of it was. She said the explosion was her fault. She should never have faced off against you. It was her fault. Don't blame it on yourself. You will end up killing yourself. But she says to keep my dream. Anbu Black Ops Leader. To stay with my father until the end. Promise?"

More tears fell down her face. "I...I promise! I do! I'll do it for you!"

"She also says that she will striver harder to walk. She will push herself as you will push yourself. That's all."

I had a new goal. To walk. I would become a ninja once more. I didn't know how I would do it, but I felt the fire in me. That fire was always in a person that was strong. That fire was Determination and I wasn't about to let the fire dwindle.
