I woke up to another half dead alarm next to my bed. At least it is not FULLY dysfunctional. I shot up from my bed and went to take a shower. Stepping out, as fast as I can dried myself up.
Took my toothbrush and cleaned my teeth, made my hair into a bun, leaving the sides down.
I took a good look at myself and then covered my face with the mask.
Quickly grabbing my Jonin attire, wearing it on my way to the kitchen. In the kitchen, my eyes darted at the shiny apple I probably bought a week ago or so. Grabbing the apple and uncovering my face, started eating it and packing stuff like shuriken, kunais and many more things like bandages. Today I needed to take a mission, because last time I checked, I was going low on money. As well as that, I will need to buy some more ninja gear.
Crap. Why don't I just have parents like normal teenagers my age, that can take care of me? Oh, wait. I remember now... MY DARN PARENTS ARE DEAD!
With that depressing thought I went out. Running towards the Hokage's Office, on the way I met Izumo and Kotetsu. I waved at them.
They are always together. Are they gay? I guess I do just ship them hard. I just hope I am not the only one.
I got to Hokage pretty quickly, and reconsidering my steps, knocking three times and opening the door cautiously, so clumsy me wouldn't trip again.
"Oh, here you are Mizu-san. Just the person I need. I am giving you a mission, I need you to help a woman and show her around, she is a painter from Kirigakure. She wanted YOU especially to show her around. As I heard, she is a fan of yours."
I lifted my eyebrow in a questioning way.
"She takes a big interest in Jinchuriki. Anyways, her name is Rashiki. She is waiting outside, I already sent ANBU to your apartment to tell you." he said and put his hands on his forehead in a regretting way.
"Okay then, I will meet her right away, but before this... I wanted to ask you if I can get a mission, because I am going low on money..." I practically whispered the last part, feeling totally ashamed.
"Mizu, I offerred so many times to pay for you, but you always declined. I can offer you once more..." he said as I interrupted him.
"I apologize for my rudeness, but I didn't mention that I regret saying no to that offering. I want to spend money wisely and deserve it." my voice rang in his ear with a twinge of ferocity and annoyance.
"Very well then, I can give you another mission, but which rank would you prefer?" he smiled sweetly at me asking for an answer.
"Not below B-Ranked one please." I said my eyes gleaming and a smile tugging at my lips.
"But then, I will assign you a Team leader and put you in one."
"That will be very nice of you." I said still, with my eyes gleaming with delight.
"I will look over now, and you can come to me after the mission you are right now." the wise saggy cereal said.
"I appreciate that a lot, thank you The Lord Third." I said and nodded my head in respect.
"You welcome my dear."
With these words I ran out of the Office.
Just the second I steppes out of the room, guess what.
I tripped.
I landed flat on my face.
Perfect start of the day.
I heard someone snicker at me. I looked up.
Guess who I saw?
My dear fellow comrade Mizuki.
"Just as clumsy as ever, how did you even become a ninja in a first place. Slept you way in?" he said in a very amused way. Like its very funny.
"Haha," I started sarcastically. "You will never guess, I ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SKILL. Probably I am not MOST careful person, but in the battle I am better." I said with frustration and little bit of anger.
"With your clumsiness, you will achieve nothing. You ARE nothing." he chuckled.
"We will see about that, teme." I literally whispered that last part. How can he be so mean? Why is he so mean?
What did I do? I haven't even spoken to him all that much.
"I will hope that one day we will have a little battle, and see who wins." his husky but annoying voice rang in my ears.
I gave him a small smile and went my way.
As I went outside, I saw a little girl, probably at the age of 15-16.
Her gaze met me and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Mizakuri-san! Is it really you?!" she yelled out. I cringed when she said my full name. I tended to be called by my nickname mostly. Because in a way, I hated my name. (just pretend it means Blood-Rose.)
"Yeah, it's me..." I indicated for her to say her name. But I guess she is a dense?
"Ehhh, your name?" I asked. She finally broke her gaze. It was a little bit scary.
"My name is Ichigo. I love to paint and probably will move in this Village. I wanted to become a ninja, and thought you could teach me a little bit." she said and started to bind and unbind her index fingers, indicating that she was nervous.
"Well, Ichigo-san, I don't know. If you want to be a ninja, you have to finish an Academy first. Then you will be put in teams, so you three will get a Sensei. When you finish the Academy, we will see. If I can, I will make a special request to get you in my team in the future. But by then, I need you to be very good, or else I will refuse to have you and your Team as my students." I said with a strict-like voice to make her a little scared. Instead, she put her head high and said:
"I will prove myself to you Mizu-Sensei! I will make you proud and will become the best Genin there is!" she shouted. She had a quite a character. A lot of confidence. It's good. But big ego isn't. I think she doesn't have a big ego. She seems nice-confident, you know.
I believe in her. If my other group will fail this time, I at least can be sure that it will not be the last time I will be seeing this little dorky girl.
"Okay then, let's show you around." I said and started to walk in the way of my house. Seeing ANBU coming from that way. As I look in their direction, 2 of them instantly recognize me, and ran towards me.
"You are requested by Hokage-sama." said the one with a super deep voice. I smiled at him with a closed eye smile and said:
"Already been by him, I know what I have to do."
They nodded and went their own way.
My head turned towards Ichigo-san. She looked at them in awe.
"First lesson you will learn from me is; never try to become an ANBU. They aren't allowed to show their emotions, as well as face. They work under a vicious man, called Danzo. But do not tell anyone that I told you about it, I am trying to put you in the right track before it's too late." I said, my voice being unwavering. She looked at me with astonished eyes. A look of a fan seeing their idol saying something incredible.
"Thank you Mizu-Sensei. I will keep it in mind and follow it. I promise you." the little girl said. The reason why I call her little, is that she isn't tall. A very short girl indeed. But cute. Or am I too tall? Nah...
"Okay..." I said and we kept going and seeing places all around.
Then we saw Ichiraku's Ramen Shop.
She looked at it and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Can go there please? Mizu-Sensei, please?" she looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
I sighed.
"Fine, let's stop here for a little while." as we sat, nobody was there. Mostly because people were at work or studying at the Academy right now.
We talked for a little bit, and she didn't say a word about her parents, so I didn't even ask.
I didn't say anything about my family either. Not because its a sensitive spot of mine. Only because she didn't ask.
"I will be having a miso-soup..." I said with a tired voice to the cooking lady.
"I will be having one of your best dishes please..." my 'student' said.
Wow. She probably has a lot of money.
I am tired... my head is exploding.
"...That's how I became a painter!" she enthusiastically said to me
"Cool..." I said curtly. Not to be rude, but my head was exploding. Like a nuclear bombs are exploding in my head.
"You didn't listen didn't you." she said a little sad.
"I have a headache." I said.
"You need some medicine, I have it." she wanted to give me some pill. But i refused.
" I'll deal with pain later, now we have to get you back to Hokage's Office." I said and paid for the food even though she insisted to pay herself.
We almost reached the Hokage and I felt myself fall from uncontrollable unconsciousness. I felt dizzy and fell back.
