After a few years of training Yoshi has grown incredibly strong. Now an official ninja of the rain her hands are covered in blood and she can become emotionless within a second with no trouble. She ha become a perfect ninja of the akatsuki. However...
I stood on a tall part watching the fight of Nagato and Jiraiya. He noticed me as well as the frogs. I knew he would die.
When our eyes met slight guilt filed me. My fist clenched as I met his gaze and I looked away for a second before again looking back.
I made a promise to myself. If I'm not going on stop a death then I'll watch to the end. No matter how hard. It was the least I could do for the person.
So I watched. I watched as he dragged a pein into a frog. I watched him come back out. I watched him figuring out Pein's abilities. I watched as his throat was crushed and he was stabbed. I watched him dying and writing a message on the frog and then sinking to the bottom of the water as the frog escaped.
Pein left and I jumped down to where Jiraiya was looking around. Nyuko slithered down to the ground also looking at the scene.
If I wanted I could send nyuko to catch the frog but I doubted he would catch him. But nonetheless, I sent nyuko away to hunt the frog down. I sat Down looking at the blood splatters. I placed my hand next to it and felt my heart clench with guilt.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled.
I heard someone land behind me and I turned seeing Konan standing behind me. I stood up and she smiled placing her hand on my head and ruffling my hair.
"You're a kind girl. It's admirable considering everything that has pushed you towards being heartless." She said.
I didn't say anything as I looked into the water. My hands balled up into fists as anger filled me.
"Why does this happen to people. Why do people we care about get taken away?" I asked to no one in particular.
"I don't know. But it seems the good people get taken away far too soon." Konan said looking up at the sky.
I looked at her to see the glimmer of sadness in her eyes.
"Do you miss him?" I asked without thinking.
She tensed before looking at me with a sad smile.
"Very much so. But now I stand as a pillar to support Nagato and his goals." She said.
"But will his goals truly bring peace. To share the pain to force that onto someone else. Will that truly break this cycle of never-ending vengeance and pain. Or will it only make it more vicious." I asked.
Konan didn't say anything and a few minutes passed in silence. But she looked at me and smiled.
"You remind me of a butterfly. When you first came to us you were still a caterpillar still unsure of what to do. Only at the beginning of your journey. However recently you've morphed into your cocoon and you're developing and soon you'll emerge to be a beautiful butterfly." She said.
"When will that happen?" I asked.
"When you find your direction in life. What you want to do. Then you'll break free from the cocoon and spread your beautiful wings and fly. Accomplishing great things." She said.
She placed something in my hands and smiled.
"I look forward to the day you become a butterfly." She said.
She separated into paper and left. I looked at my hands to see an origami butterfly.
I smiled. Me a butterfly huh. I doubt it.
