Kisame thinks of Amaya as an annoyance. She constantly annoyed him when they were children, pestering him to play ninja with her. When he finally gives in, he realises that what came with that decision was something he didn't expect. Now, many years later, Kisame is nostalgic about those memories and remembers a good friend.

THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED! PLEASE SEE THE CHAPTER LABELED WHY ISN'T THERE MORE!!!! It was such a simple act of kindness that changed his entire life around. Once it was evident he had the Will of Fire, though, a life he could never imagine began. Ryu Sarutobi was the "adopted grandson" of Hiruzen Sarutobi. All people knew of him was he appeared out of nowhere with the Hokage's words backing him. As well as who they saw him become. He was a boy with a strange worry over a yin-yang ring he wore. He was a boy who gave his everything to protect the village. He was a boy who had a fire raging within him. He was a boy with a great light that could pierce the darkness. All people had to do was look. But he was also a boy who was cursed. And that curse would do anything to devour his light. *new cover done by TheInfinityofMaybe*
