Miki's loyalties to her heart are becoming difficult. She doesn't know who to rely on, who to trust, or what will happen. Her fears of Mei are increasing as things begin picking up and more deaths are occurring. Ryuu is becoming distant and almost cold and her relationships with the village are becoming strained. The Leaf is suspicious of a former Akatsuki member, and Mei will do all she can to use that as an advantage.....let the rivalry begin.

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"
