"Why would you go all out for me? I mean, you were willing to let me leave you behind when you were injured and unable to move? Why were you willing to sacrifice your own life for me?" Hashiru asked.

"I could asked the same question to you. Why did you not leave me?" Shikamaru asked back.

Shikamaru inhaled deeply before speaking again.

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find ones worth suffering for." Shikamaru answered.

"They said you changed a lot but in a good way. They said you were not lazy anymore and that you don't sleep that much during the day." Hashiru said as she cupped Shikamaru's cheek.

"You know why?"

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." He said.

What is a Shinobi? Misaki often finds herself questioning that. From a small village, she had no choice but to become a ninja. Her leader needed her skills... but she wanted nothing more than to lead a normal life. Ninja from her small village die on missions and when she requests a leave, she's sent out of the village instead. How will she do when she is assigned a mission to Konoha? Will a certain ANBU change her mind about the Shinobi world, in spite of his own hatred for this life as well? What will happen when a strange figure saves Misaki's life then offers her a deal down a dark, unknown path? 《★☆★☆★》 ≪This story explores the world of Naruto, starting just before his birth. Drawing parallels from Kakashi's life to Misaki's, it narrows in on friendship, confusion, betrayal, hatred, and what it truly means to be a Shinobi.≫ 『Excerpt from the story:』 "...what does it mean to be a Shinobi in this village? Just to die... be killed without reason. It's all so pointless." His eyes shimmer with pain. I know the look as I have seen it on myself in the mirror. His voice has lost its lazy monotone and is spiked with emotion I never thought the ANBU was capable of. "Ninja don't die for no reason... they live to die for the ones they care about... to protect their village and-" the last word is barely audible, "-comrades." He leaves without another word, sliding his ANBU mask on and disappearing into the night air. Had I said something wrong? 《★☆★☆★》
