No Need for Love

C h a p t e r 1 - Better Left Forgotten

I quickly finished my breakfast and jumped out of my chair, eager to go outside. I almost made it until-

"Young lady! Where do you think you're going?" my mother asked.

"Uh, outside" I said as I slowly turned to face her.

She walked up to me before saying "*sigh* You're always running off somewhere. What if something happened to you?"

"It won't, I'm a big girl!" I said confidently.

"Mmmhm, that's pretty big talk for a little five-year-old."

I gave her a pleading look while pouting my bottom lip.

"Alright go on, but don't stay out for too long. I want you back in this house before dinner."

I smiled brightly and said "ok." After giving her that short response, I was out the door. Walking around I noticed just how nice it was that day. The sun was up and Shining. Radiating heat, creating a warm atmosphere. The sky was a clear blue, not a single cloud in sight. Even though it was a nice day, something about it felt different.

It was a feeling I couldn't describe, like something was tugging at my gut. A refreshing wind blows by, slightly pushing stray leaves on the ground. I watch them tumble and roll as they continued to scrape against the floor.

Moving my last thought to the side, I kept walking. I enjoyed being outside, I liked to look around and discover new things. Making my way into a forest where I usually trained, I sat under a tree.

Although I was only five, I still did a bit of training. My mother had told me about a ninja academy, and how I would be able to start soon. I got excited and began training early. My dream was to become a strong kunoichi that everyone acknowledged and admired.

Being in the head family of my clan, the expectations were pretty high for me. Especially when it came to my father, knowing we were allies of, and good friends with the "well known" Uchiha clan. At times he would compare me to Fugaku's youngest son, Sasuke.
