Chapter 15

I do not own pic!

You borrowed some books and scrolls from the library to study them later and learn more about the Uchihas.
After so much struggling that night, you could finally sleep, however it wasn't an easy sleep, nightmares kept haunting you in your sleep.

You woke up the next day feeling a bit tired from over thinking last night, you got up from bed and started getting ready for the day as usual. Entering the bathroom, you looked closely at your face in the mirror, are you really an Uchiha? Do you really have the Sharingan?
You splashed some water on your face feeling refreshed as you then started showering.

"so [name], what are you gonna do next?", lady Tsunase asked you as you have been taking a little break from work in the hospital. Indeed, it's been a while since you've come here, and now you have perfectly leanrt what you have come for, and even more, 'secretly'.
"I wish I could learn more about combat, I need to protect myself", you said and she nodded with a smile then said:"of course, someone like you needs protection. I will try to see if there is someone available who can help you out with this".
You smiled and nodded, of course, you need to protect yourself, especially after finding out the truth about Itachi. He will come to you again for sure, whether for some medication or something else, so you better be prepared.

Three months had passed, luckily nothing bad happened to you while being there.
The time to leave your 'village of origin' had come. You thanked them for everything as you were ready to leave, despite lady Tsunade thinking of a way to make you stay since you would have make a great addition to the village's hospital, you left a really good impression.

You weren't heading home yet, your next destination was the hidden sand village, where you can deepen your knowledge of medicinal herbs and especially of poisons and antidots, and also learn other healing techniques, and with the recommendation letter you've gotten from lady Tsunade, you can tell things were gonna be easy for you there, especially since you've been told about the good relation between the two villages.

Team Kakashi has been assigned to escort you there as you have requested, it was a good thing your going to the sand village happened simultaneously with a mission team Kakashi had to accomplish in there. After a long travel in the desert, you've finally reached your destination, Sunagakure.
It was pretty diffent from the hidden leaf and from your home village. It was hot there and dry, with dust and wind blowing, the architecture is different, even people dressed up differently.
You've met the Kazekage, Gaara, which you knew was a close friend of Naruto. You were glad that your request to study there has been approved as well, and Gaara's brother, Kankuro as you knew his name is, was the one meant to help you with your studies, that recommendation letter you've got from Tsunade made things really easy for you here.

More months passed, it was finally time for you to head back to your village. You missed it very much, as you missed Lady Noriko, your friends,  the kids there, your home, your room, the people, everything... But more importantly, you wanted to tell Lady Noriko about what you have leant about the Uchiha clan and ask her for other details, the truth.
You decided to join a group of travels that has been going near your village. It's true you've learnt to defend yourself but still, it's not a good idea to go all alone by yourself.
Unlike the time when you have been coming to the leaf, this time you've been more careful, indeed you've learnt much from your journey here.

You entered the gate of your village and took a deep breath as the morning sun was shining all over the place. Some people had already opened their shops while others headed to work, kids joined their school and kindergartens while the younger ones were just playing around near their homes.
You smiled widely as you kept your promise and got back home safely. You walked down the street, aiming for a house you know very well.

"I'm coming", you could hear the familiar voice says from the inside as you knocked on the door, you waited excitedly as the door has been opened, revealing Lady Noriko.
