"Naruto, today let's steal the scroll of forbidden jutsus." I said as I ran my fingers through his soft blonde hair.

"Ehhhh~ But why?" Naruto whined.

Today was another day where we met up in the forest. We usually did this to try and relax, away from the eyes of the villagers.

"Well, only if you are strong, will you be able to save others and do what you want." I gave him a smile." Only then can you be truly free."

Unlike me.

Because I am still weak, I am still being controlled by my parents. I am still haunted by my past.

Naruto could see the pain in my eyes despite my best smile so he got up and said.

"Sure Sakura-chan! Whatever you say!"

Hand in hand, we sneaked back into the village and into the room filled with confidential information and scrolls about the village's secrets.

Not that we didn't do it before.

That was how Naruto learnt about the parents he never had and where his extensive knowledge of seals came from.

That was also where we learnt about all the cruel things that happened in the village.

A prime example would be a former anbu captain called Itachi Uchiha.

I recalled an incident a few days ago when I think about this man.

Me and Naruto were strolling through the forest as usual. There would always be a river running through the forest. However today was different.

There was the smell of blood lingering in the air. It was suffocating.

It reminded me too much of that monster's den which I call home. It reminded me too much of the basement.

At once I knew it was those of a human, not an animal.

Naruto also knew something was off. Over time, my little sun became sharper and more aware.

We quickly rushed to the river and saw a man floating on the river, stuck between the rocks,faced down.

We quickly pulled him out of the water and flipped him over so I could use my medical ninjutsu on him.

He had curly black hair and long eyelashes. Hid shirt and pants, which were standard black anbu clothes, were ripped and torn into multiple dangling pieces.

Naruto recognized him through the many pictures of ninjas in the bingo book. I recognized him from the one time we met in the dango shop.

"Nee, Sakura-chan, isn't that Shisui Uchiha?"

I'll be fine.Where stories live. Discover now
