[Mama]

| 01 | Mission |

You close your eyes, before sighing, running your fingers through your hair. You exhale another sigh, before you open one eye to stare at the person before you.

"I'm sorry, my mission is to what?" you ask, lazily opening your other eye. The man seated before you sighs, before he rubs his temples.

"[Name], your mission, is to travel to Konohagakure Orphanage, and pick up this child," he replied, tapping the picture that was on his table. You stare at him, before averting your gaze to the picture. It's a picture of a very young boy. Probably about 1-2 years old. He surprisingly has blonde/yellow hair, and has the bluest eyes you've seen. He almost reminds you of-

Yondaime... your eyes suddenly soften, before you bring a hand to your mouth to cover the yawn you're emitting. You lazily stare at the 3rd Hokage again, before nodding.

"When do I le-"

"You are expected to leave tomorrow, at 5:30 am. And are expected to arrive at the orphanage at 7:00 am," he answers you before you have the full question out of your mouth.

You blink, before nodding. A couple of hand-signs later, and you're out of the Hokage's office.

You rethink your whole plan again, as you stare at the clock on your bed-side table. 'Konohagakure Orphanage' is not actually in the village. It is founded by the village, but is found outside of the village, 68 km South-west [1].

If I travel at 5:30 while eating breakfast on the way, I should arrive there by about....AGH!

You wring your hands into your hair, and hold your head in both hands.

So complicated [2]...Ah...well...I'll just have to see how this turns out...

You sigh, and tilt back-wards. Your back meets your bed, and your head meets your pillow. You roll over, so you're flat on your stomach, before burying your face into your pillow. You sigh once again, and look at the time.

2:37 AM.

You chuckle, before fixing yourself into a comfortable position on your bed. You turn the lamp off, before dozing off.

[]

It's 6:47 right now, and you know you're probably about 3/4 of the way to the orphange. You rub at your eyes, before shaking your head.

Damn, should've slept eariler...

You sigh [3] before looking ahead of you.

[]

It's 6:58, and you have finally arrived at the orphanage. You stare up at the building in disgust. It's a very old house, and it kind of reminds you of the haunted houses in the horror movies. You shake the idea out of your head, before walking towards the door.

You place your hand of the door-bell, before pressing it.

DING! DONG! DING! DONG!

[1] = I'm not really good with distances, so I don't really know how far 68 km is xD But you can imagine that it's far away from Konohagakure, and that's the point I'm trying to make.

[2] = Apparantly, Reader-chan (you) is not a fan of maths, but is still a great kunoichi! Despite her math.

[3] = Reader-chan sighs too much...
