Waking up... Umm, when I say waking up I mean jumping out of bed to go and do my mission... Not that I don't do that every day, but people don't realize what ANBU life's like... I look around at the spartan apartment, well that's what it is anyway, people only see what the genjutsu let them see: a crappy, rundown flat. I go to the kitchen to get a perfectly rationalized breakfast: a bowl of plain rice, a cup of green tea, and an apple... Eating plain food usually calms me down, it reminds me of the times I used to eat with my team on tree branches, eyes half-closed with restless sleep...

Writing Style: Flashback of doom

The night had been long and the sun was just getting over the horizon... The moon was finally getting its well-earned sleep. All of us were sitting on the same tree... A perfect breakfast: plain rice, prepared by Tenzou, an apple that we had bought in a nearby town, and a cold green tea: no fire on a mission... The cold rice, the flavor of the traditional tea... Nothing better, a moment apart from the world, alone... The mission had been long, tomorrow we would be in the Leaf... The moment seemed to be timeless, in a selfish second all of us wanted to stay like that forever... To stay out of anything, out of the village and its rules, out of ANBU and its ruthless ways. The second passed and we were back on the road...

End of Flashback

Thinking about old times, I got up and dressed in the Kill-me-orange jumpsuit... Another day in the demon brat's shoes, now let's play a little game... How much late is Kaka-Baka gonna be late? Well, there's the ANBU, Jonin, and TI meeting this morning... So I'm definitely gonna be at least two hours late... But I bet he's gonna be three! Oh no... If I don't hurry up I'm gonna be late... And the Old Man is gonna kill me or... Send me to Morino! I hurry out of my room and fly towards the Hokage tower where the monthly meeting is held...

The meeting was long, boring, and completely useless... I mean everyone knew about everything already, except for the Jonins ... Poor guys: everything is classified so they spent half the meeting playing rock paper scissors... I mean we, ANBU, and TI spoke in codes... I agree it does look like the playground game but it's not.

Kakashi was late... And I had to endure the banshee and the emo duck but... Please help me! When Kakashi arrived, banshee and I screamed:" you're late !!!" He talked about the way he got lost on the path of life... We then took off to get our missions for the day...

And we got... Tora the demo-I mean Tora, Madame Shijune's cat... Ask anyone from ANBU to genin: that mission is hell... No one even the stuck-ups from Alpha can't finish it without a scratch... Heck, even the hunter team has a hard time with this one...

When we finally did get the fury I was covered in claw marks. As we made our way to the Hokage's office I was silently chanting a mantra about doing everything for Konoha... All the while trying to not get annoyed by the stupid lazy fox, laughing his ass off, about me, Fox of the bloody moon getting owned by a cat...

Let's say I didn't even budge when Madame Shijune strangled the cat... I almost danced when I finally got home this evening...

Then I remembered I would have to do the same the next day... Life is a joke, dattebayo!
