Thunderous explosions, terrified screams of villagers all around, and the sound of animalistic roars were all you could hear as you ran towards the Hokage's side, the sounds were horrendous to say the least.

"Hokage sir! We have to get out of here now!"

"No! (Your name) you need to help evacuate all of the villagers... I shall take care of Orochimaru..."

You wanted to continue arguing, but you were his subordinate and what he said was law, and you could not argue any further to your Hokage because you knew he was right. You had to think about the innocent lives in danger. You shook the fear from your soles and nodded to your superior:

"Y-yes Sir... Please take care of this..."

"I shall. Go on now, the other Jonin will be needing your help. Continue to strive and be the hero I know you will be."

You nodded to your superior, unbeknownst to you that would be the last time you would speak to him, and began to do just as he commanded. You and the other Jonin quickly evacuated all the civilians to the underground safezone, away from the chaos that was slowly unfolding at the arena.

Just as you had finished checking for anymore villagers you could see a blur of black and red race past your peripherals. You skid to stop on the first rooftop your feet touched and you scanned the area, unsure of what to do since you were all alone...

With a kunai gripped tightly between your dominant hand you tried to calmly assess your situation and continue to keep a keen eye on the area around you. But nothing stood out to you, no chakra signatures around you could be felt nor could you see any one... But you could feel them lingering near you...

You attempted to reason with yourself, that maybe just maybe you were overwhelmed, overreacting, or possibly you were just afraid...

"I... I am afraid..."

For the first time in a long time you felt afraid... This feeling you suddenly felt was more then a phobia or a nightmare. It was the intense feeling of someone watching you... It was pure blood lust... It was nothing you had experienced before at this caliber...

You shook your head and ran off ahead, forgetting your moment upon the rooftop to continue providing any support you could to your village and people within it. Although after the battle, even though you and many others did their very best, you had lost many good ninja... Unfortunately that included your own mentor, Hokage, and even some friends... Your heart ached at the thought of your last memories with some them...

How could you continue on...

It was a dark and rainy day for a funeral, as was almost every funeral there in Konoha. Everyone wore black and were ever so silent, the only sound was the quiet pitter patter of rain on umbrellas and the small puddles that began to form beneath your feet.

You rested your umbrella on your shoulder as you swiped at the tears that escaped your eyes, hardly able to bare the thought of losing any amount of friends in one day, but you were stronger than most and you refused to allow anyone to see your gloomy disposition, your pride almost always got in the way in the end...
