And so, two years passed and I've been training very hard. I was a lot stronger now and very proud of myself. I felt like I could take on any enemy crossing my path.
At one morning I woke up and I had the urge to go of the island for a day or so. And I had to buy new clothes anyway so I could go to a nearby town and go shopping. I have still got a bit of money from my time in Konoha and it probably was just enough to buy some new clothes.
So I pulled the little boat in the water and jumped in it.
I used my water ninjutsu's as some kind of motor motor to go a bit faster.
I went to Yumegakure, the capital city of the land of the hills.
When I got to the land in the hills I saw nothing but (wait for it...) hills! Hills with long wavy and perfectly green grass as far as you could see. It was really beautiful.
But Yumegakure was a little bit further to the west. I started to walk to there but after an hour I saw a man on a horse who was pulling a carriage. He looked curiously at me and waved. I waved back and the man came towards me.
"Hey sissy, where are ya going?"
The man asked when he was close enough.
"Yumegakure" I said.
"Well, you can jump on if you want, 'couse I'm going through there."
"Oh that's nice of you," I said.
"Thank you very much." I hopped in the back of the carriage in the hay.
For a while I just enjoyed the view of all the hills and the grass, but then the man started talking to me.
"So, sissy, where are ya from? I haven't seen you here before and I ride here almost every day."
"That's right, I've never been here before. I'm from Kono- the water village." I quickly corrected myself.
The man looked at me strangely.
"You're not from Konoha?"
I hesitated. "No," I said finally said.
My birth country was still the water village.
The man turned around to take a better look at me. He mumbled a bit.
"Then I guess it's not you after all. Shame..."
I wondered what he was talking about but I didn't ask.
It was a long, and a bit of a akward ride, because the man kept looking at me only to shake his head again. But then we were finally in Yumegakure. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was so beautiful! Just like a dream.
I guess thats why they call it Yumegakure (a.n. yume = dream).
"Alright then sissy, do you want to get out here or do you stay till the centre of the city?" The man asked.
"I'll get out here, thanks" I replied and jumped of.
"Alright then, have a lovely day."
"You too, thank you for the ride!"
"No problem!" The man shouted as he rode away.
I looked around to see if I saw any shops while the sun shone on my skin. It immediately made me happy.
I didn't see many shops in this area of the city so I decided to walk a bit further.
Everywhere were little market stalls, people and a lot of laughter.
