Tobirama and I had been walking for a while, for how long, I do not know. Toby trudged next to me, his steps void of all sound. It was a strange thing to look at. I could see him walking but he made no sound. Tobirama and I every once and a while would step on a leaf or twig and there would be a small snap or crunch. However, with Toby, there was nothing.
After a long while of contemplating this and coming up with every possible reason for this phenomenon, I drop the subject as my mind drifts to other topics. Over analyzing a situation was a bad habit I picked up at some point. It usually caused a lot of problems by me getting consumed in my mind and over stressed. However, at times, it was also helpful. It decreased the chance of me overreacting over something because I didn't expect it.
Being to occupied with other things earlier, I never really took it upon myself to look at what I was wearing. I was wearing simple black pants and black ninja shoes. My top was a little different -and might I add, cool- it was a forest green kimono like top with a white obi to keep it in place. On the front there was a small infinity symbol and the back had a detailed design of a leafless tree. All in all, it was functional and pretty epic.
However, a few things confused me. First off, I felt shorter and like I'm totally in the wrong body, but it felt like the right body at the same time. Completely confusing if you ask me. Second off, why didn't I have any weapons? They obviously could of been of use to me and will be in the future. I guess I'll just have to get some later on.
I suddenly stop in place and Tobirama seems to notice. I looked down at the ground and my face was scrunched up in a mix between confusing and worry. This can't be real, right? I guess I can roll with me being in the Naruto-verse now but it's been to easy to get Tobirama's trust. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe he's just using me and thinks I'm a spy? Maybe he's just leading me off somewhere to kill me? He can't possibly be this nice! For gods sake, this world is at war! No one should trust anyone!
A hand on my shoulder shocks me from my state. I look up, wide green eyes into red, "Hey, you okay?"
My face hardens and I smack his hand off while quickly stepping back. Toby seems to see my discomfort and stands ever so slightly in front of me to stop him from getting closer.
"You're just using me, right? There is no possible way that someone would just welcome a complete stranger into there clan compound! You are playing with me, taking my weakness of not having a family or a place to call home so you can scoop me up and turn me into a mindless puppet for war," I could feel tears pricking at my eyes but I refuse to let them spill. In the back in my mind, I knew I was overreacting but I couldn't help myself, this was all a bit much. "I don't wanna fight this pointless war! All I want is peace! A kind of peace that children don't get sent out to war to kill others and end up dead in the end! Why can't these damn clan leaders, sit around a table like mature adult and talk out a treaty?! They obviously want the fighting to stop but they just can't get there sticks out of there ass and admit that they are wrong!"
The teen in-front of me seems to crumble as each word comes out of my mouth. He is left wide eyed and shocked as all can be. I let out a gasp and my hand flies to my mouth, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out. I'm usually more composed but things have been a bit much lately."
Tobirama stays quite for a while and I can practically feel myself shrinking in shame.
"I-I want peace too," I look at him in shock, wanting to know what he'll say next, "I just wanted to help you. I have destroyed the lives of my clans enemies for my whole life and all I want to do is end this pointless fighting, so in my own selfish ways, I wanted to help you to make me feel better about myself. I now see what I did was wrong and I deeply apologize." He avoided my gaze, obviously ashamed of his actions.
Stuffing all my humility down, I stand up a little taller, "Maybe we can fight for peace together?" My voice is still quiet and I still want to dig my own grave and jump in it from all of this embarrassment but I know that if I don't say anything, nothing will go good.
Tobirama jumps is shock again and looks straight at me. He looks to be in internal conflict. After a while he finally speaks, with many unreadable emotions in his eyes, "I would love that," a small smile than over takes his face.
Uncertainty still bumbles up but I push it down as much as I can, I can't have hesitance right now. A small and cautious smile graces my lips and I quickly bow to him, "I deeply apologize for my outburst and thank you so much for all that you are doing for me."
"Come on kid, let's get going. Don't wanna be out here for much longer, plus we still have a bit of distance to cover," he than starts walking and I quickly catch up to him, Toby at my side.
With a half hearted scowl in my face I say, "Don't call me kid! I'm not a kid!"
He looks me up and down and let's out a light chuckle, "Yeah, right. You look like a 10 year old."
I scoff, "You're crazy!"
"I'm pretty sure you are."
"No I'm not and I doubt you are much older than me!" Now that I think about it, technically I'm 14 but something happened and I'm clearly not in a 14 year old body anymore.
"I'm 14 years of age, thank you very much. I am much older than you, you 10 year old."
I let out a sigh of defeat and turn my face away to make it look like a blow to my ego. In realty, I'm trying to figure out how old I should be. Maybe I can just say I don't know how old I am? I hate lying but sometimes it has to be done.
"Anyways, how old are you?"
I let out a scowl but I quickly turn it into one of confusion and disappointment, "I don't know how old I am." A frown takes over my face, seeming for not knowing my birthday but in reality, it's for lying.
"Hmm, well, how about today is your birthday?"
"Seriously?" Wow, this seems to easy. Lying is creepily easy for me. Oh god, now all I think about is if killing will be easy. My life is changing and I will have to kill in this world, it's unavoidable.
"Yeah, works for me. Today is July 22nd. Seems like a good day for a birthday and I'm just gonna say you are 10."
"Well, uhh, thanks," I run my hand through my hair and let out a awkward smile. Certain parts of his personality totally wanna make me punch him in the face but I can't deny that he's a good guy at heart.
We fall into silence once again and I let out a sigh of relief. I take in the scenery and let it calm me. Everything seems to be going good as of now. Let's just hope it'll stay that way.
