We were back on the road again, just me Ayame, Kana, Chika, and Jiraiya. It's been a couple of good days and nights. We've been having some fun while hanging out in the woods. I also sparred against Jiraiya and got some praise. He's told me that I'm already above Jounin. Since I'm only 7, I can feel a little bit of the strain on my body when I use to much chakra. When the old man sealed my chakra, I never expected to feel weak at all. But I can't do a lot with as much chakra I have. Of course this is a lot of chakra for a 7 year old, but it should be just enough for a regular 12 year old graduate.

I sighed when we stopped at a village. I plopped my stuff down in the flat we were using for the time being before we had to move again. I was rooming with Chika this time while Kana was rooming with Ayame and Jiraiya was just Jiraiya. I think he was actually sleeping on the couch. Hehe....we're so evil.

Sitting on Chika and I's bed, I looked around the room. It was pretty plain....nothing interesting. Chika came in the room abruptly causing me to shoot up into a sitting position before I smacked my head with hers.

"Ouch..."I groaned rolling around on the bed. She just fell back groaning in pain. Tears were pricking the corners of my eyes, begging to fall from the pain, but I refused.

"What was that for?" She questioned, still on the ground holding her head. I sat up, tears still pricking my eyes, and looked at her.

"I didn't mean to! You came in all of a sudden!" I yelled back pouting. She crossed her arms, as did I. She then started to giggle and I did as well.

"So I scared you?" She tauntingly asked. I frowned and looked away, pouting once more. "I'll take that as a yes." I turned my head to look at her and glared as she laughed again.

"No you didn't! And what are you laughing at." She stopped laughing for a second, looked back over at me, and started laughing again. I put a hand on my chest dramatically.
"I'm offended!" I said trying to desperately sound hurt. Though I wasn't good at that. Now I am good at hiding things but have a sarcastic outlook on life.

"Hey we're going out to eat tonight and it's your turn to choose where we eat." Chika said wiping a tear from her eye. A small glint was seen in my eyes and I looked at her.

"Ramen." She sighed and got up.

"Of course you'd choose that. It's either dango or ramen every time it's your turn." She sighed again and opened the door. "I'll make sure to let everyone know." I nodded before she closed the door.

I stood up and opened the window, leaning my elbows on the crease and my head on my hands. It was a really pretty afternoon. The village was lively with kids running around, parents wishing their children good luck for a mission, and shopkeepers trying to stay in business by giving out samples. I hate it. I stood up and slammed the window back, closing it, and walking to my bed wrap my feet.

It reminded me too much of Konoha. You never know who is suffering. Never.

Once I was finished, I headed to the living room and saw everyone was ready to go. I smiled at them and they smiled back. We then headed out the door, just like a family. This was my family. They might not think so, they might think that we are really close companions, but I believe that we are family.

When we got there, we were already talking about what would happen when I left. I didn't really want to talk about it because I would definitely miss them, and we would all be away from each other.

"One bowl of miso ramen for me please." I said. Everyone ordered, and then it became quiet again. No one knew what to talk about. "I don't really know if I should go back to Konoha." I said out of the blue. Everyone looked at me with concerned expressions as I stared at the table below me.
