A Butterfly's Trail (A Naruto Fanfic) (OC Insert)

[3] A Liliac Flashback

Kizuna's Pov

I decided to wake up early than the usual. I exited my bed and ascended to the bathroom to fix myself. After that, I grab a wooden box under my bed. I close my eyes as I start to remember something on my mind.

• Flashback •

8 years ago...

A cerulean haired girl jumps up and down her bed as she awaits for the clock to strikes 12. Her birthday will arrive in the next three minutes. As she waits, she changed into her newly bought yukata for her birth date. She immediately rush downstairs in excitement. That was me.

"Kin? What are you doing in the middle of the night?" I turn to look at my brother who is looking at me intently.

"Don't you remember anything for today?"

"Um..." I look at him at wonder.

"Nope. Nothing at all. Now, go to your room now!" He strictly said. He doesn't remember.

I return to my room in disappointment. I thought he remembered. I change my clothes into my ninja clothes. I'll just train then.

I grab my ninja pouch as I wear my ninja sandals. I exited my room through the window as I went at the back of the house, past the garden. There stood our newly made training ground. I ask for tou-san to make a training ground for me so that I will not keep on looking around konoha to train for one. The interaction within the Uchihas are still quite embarassing even though it happened already half a year ago. But at least, I already gain Sasu-kun's trust. We train and play every now and then, but still, I'm clueless about the reason of our appearance in there.

I totally reached the place in awe. It's much more bigger than I thought. There's no snow at the place which confused me because it's already winter but shrug it off. There's also a river for training on how to stand on water. But, to where does this river goes?

I let it off as I start to get my shurikens and kunais out of my pouch. I started to throw them at the log posts. Some goes to the right target, some miss. I eventually wish nii-san is here to help me train.

I didn't know how long I train. I still didn't get some rest because of my excitement a while ago. I halted on my movements as I get tired. I cover my face as a ray of light. Looks like morning has caught up to me.

I look at whole place fill with craters and dirt. Some trees were damage too. Poor trees.

"I really exert a lot at those. But I think I can't go back anymore..." I said as I feel my eyes close and my body collapsed.

💞

I feel the softness of the bottom ground. It invited me to sleep more-

I immediately sit up from my thoughts.

Soft? Ground?

I look around just to see that I'm back to my room. I'm still on my ninja clothes though. I rub my eyes before changing back to my yukata. As I sit on my bed, the door open.

"Kin?"

"Hm?"

"Let's go down" I look at him for a while before going with him. On the way, I saw Kimoko going the same way.

"Kimo-chan!"

"Kina-chan!"

"Let's go!" Nii-san said as he both drag our hands downward. The house is full of lights and colors. There's a lot of clan members inside, both from the main and low household. Don't tell me...

"Happy Birthday to our Great Ladies!" Everyone greeted. My face was full of happiness as they said these.

"Go at the back" I turn to tou-san as he speaks. I immediately run to the garden just to see something strange. The river is glowing from a far. I run with Kimo-chan on my trail. As I reached it, the glow of it goes much brighter in a direction so I followed it until I reached a wonderful place.

"Wow..."

The place is a lake full of water lilies. I'm speechless. It's so beautiful. I can feel a jutsu that is casted at the place which block off the snow for the meantime at the wonderful scenery. It must be tou-san.

"Happy birthday to my beautiful angels!" Kaa-san said. I felt kaa-san's warm embrace. Feels like heaven. As I am loosen from the warm hug, I immediately run through the food that was prepared. From the looks of it, all of these are kaa-san's cooking. As I get some food, I sat near the lake to look the beautiful scenery.

"Kizuna" the stern voice of tou-san cause me to break my sight from the lake.

"Want some tou-san?" I offered him some sweet ice desert as a pocky is still in my mouth. He shakes his head. He reached at his back as he shows a wooden box.

"Happy birthday. This is the gift from your mother and I. Hope you like it, dear" my father is known to be harsh and strict in terms of ninja training so this soft side of him is a rare sight.

"Thanks tou-san"

• End of Flashback •

In truth, I never get the chance to open it because I started my ninja training starting the day after that. Mom taught me to put my gifts that I received that day in a scroll so that it will not be much of a drag for me.

I opened the box in a nervous manner. However, my nervousness change into amazement as I look at it with teary eyes. It is something I really desire for a long time.

'Thank you so much Kaa-san, Tou-san...'
