When I open my eyes, I found the world to be just as blurry as before. The long hallway seemed to contort and twist, the doors made of a large blur. I stumble forward, sake still flowing in my veins.

"Hmm... Let's visit Tobi!" I cheerfully race down the hallway, surprisingly not tripping over my feet. The faster I ran, the less blurry the hallway seemed to be. All I could hear was my own breathing and the sound of my bare feet hitting the wooden floor.
"Whooooop!" I call out into the quiet hallway, listening to the sound of my voice. "Yoooo!"

I laugh, breaking out into a large grin. I sound weird, as if I was speaking with water in my throat or something. I stumble into a wall, smacking my head. I fall on my butt, holding my forehead in pain.
"Ow! What the hell..." I look up, starting to yell curses at the wall. As I insult it's mother, I realize something.

"Wait... Shouldn't Tobi's dream be around here?" I pull myself up, using a lot of effort, and begin searching the hallway. My head pounded and was bruised, without a doubt. I fingers brush across Tobi's door, but it felt empty. There was no emotion attached to it, nothing. I try to turn the knob, but it doesn't budge.
"Huh?" I try again, grunting in effort. It still doesn't move an inch. "Maybe he's not asleep?"

I knock on his door for no reason and sigh, holding my head. My vision was getting better, but the more sober I'm getting, the stronger my head aches. I back up, resting my back on the door in front of Tobi's. A deep feeling of joy and happiness fills my body, making me recoil from the door quickly.
"What..?" I rest my hand on the door, letting pure joy settle down inside my chest. I sigh in content, leaning my head against the wood. It was a door made out of a hard wood, a smooth laquor polished the fine grain. I close my eyes, enjoying the dreams emotions. My finger tips trace the dark wood, admiring the beautiful curves of the grain.
My hand reaches for the doorknob, but I hesitate. Who's door is this? There's a huge chance that it's someone I don't know. I don't want to overstep someone's privacy.... But the pure and intoxicating feeling of their joy and happiness caused me to abandon my reasoning and turn the knob. This time, it opened.

I found myself standing in the middle of my old training ground. The three wooden poles stuck into the ground and trees through their leaves onto the ground. The familiarity of it stuck my heart. I take a deep breath, breathing in the fall air. The crimson and orange leaves brightened the village beautifully. I walk a couple paces further, but freeze whenever I hear voices.

"What do you mean, I'm doing it wrong?! I'm doing it perfectly!"
"It's not that you're doing it wrong. It's just that you're not doing it right."

I laugh quietly and walk to the three poles. I climb onto the one in the middle, sitting down at the top. My eyes quickly found the culprits if the voices I had heard before. A couple yards in front of me, two younger kids stood next to each other. One of them was waving their hands, ranting about something as the other watched. The angry one, a young girl, ran her hands through her hair, shaking her head. The calmer one, the boy, nudges her with his elbow.
"Just watch me one more time." He says, holding her eyes. "You'll get it."
"Of course I will, Kashi! I'm the best!" The young girl pumps herself up, green eyes burning in determination.
"Yeah. Watch carefully." Young Kakashi holds his hand in front of him, clamping his other on his wrist. Chirping filled the air as blue lightning dances in his hand. He quickly slams his hand against a tree, splitting it in half. The girl cheers, grinning at Kakashi.
"Way to go! Now it's my turn..." The girl holds her hand out, carefully coping Kakashi's previous movements. Her eyes narrow in concentration and she bites her lip. The air starts to fill with the distinctive sounds of chirping and her eyes widen as lightning fills her hand.
"Hurry! Jab the tree!" Kakashi yells, pointing at a tree near them. The girl listens, slamming her hand through the tough wood. She instantly breaks out into a victory dance, throwing her arms around Kakashi.
"Did you see that?! I did it!" She gushes, grinning ecstatically. Kakashi nods, beaming at her. Her happiness was contagious.
"You did amazing, Himiko!"
