Akanes pov.
"Are we there yet?" I complained.
"No." master answered firmly. I looked up at the man who had raised me for the long twelve years of my life. he had jet black hair and onyx eyes. "I'm so boredddddddd" I whined. "then entertain yourself." he returned. I stuck my tongue out at him. he smiled at me but with a sad look in his eyes. I frowned. 'what's wrong with master?' A few minutes later he stopped in his tracks. "Akane." I turned to him. "hm?" I replied. "I want you to have nakinagara." I looked at him confused. "but I haven't mastered him yet." he smiled. "I think you're ready." he paused and got a sad look in his eyes. "and I want to tell you a story..." I smiled and laughed trying to brighten the mood. "you know I'm always up for a good story!" he laughed. "I know." then he began the story. "twelve years ago I was assigned by my comrades to kill a certain clan with him. they were a very powerful clan called the uzumaki." he stopped mid sentence as if it were hard to continue but he did. "after we had killed the last of them I found a remaining child. this child never looked at me ounce with fear in fact she smiled at me. the child's mother, whom made me promise to take care of her child before I took her life, died holding that child in her arms.And I've kept my promise..." I tilted my head to the side. "where is that child now? what happened to it?" he looked me in the eye with a sad smile. "she grew up to be a strong and beautiful girl." my face brightened. "I wanna meet her! she must be strong! what's her name?" he petted my head. "Her name is Akane."
