I inhaled sharply, my body almost stiff from returning to this place. The ninja academy, a place that always spawned both delight ,and, dread alike within my body whenever I approached it. I hated the fact those memories where always so fresh in my head.

"So, today's mission is to talk about my experiences. . . uhh I don't really have many. "

I scratched at the back of my head, something I do at random some times. This mission had begun to pressure me with a little bit of stress. The words I would say would undoubtedly change the outlook on many of the young shinobi in training. I stopped, my body fatigued by this point from walking towards the academy. the fatigue wasn't from the walk but from the stress and anxiety that I felt.

"Why me?"

I spoke within a whisper, looking and surveying the familiar smell that the school seemed to expel. The fresh earthy fragrance from all of the movement training which had no doubt happened earlier. The freshness of the air was so crisp that I almost felt healthier but it was just and illusion this building gave you. This institution had a way of pushing you before you even walked through the doorway.

I was caught up in my thoughts and didn't hear the chuunin teacher who was speaking for me to enter. I was too late and snapped out of it just as I was being reprimanded for being a little bit late. I smiled, I just felt happy that soon all this would be over.

" I'm sorry, I just needed a moment. I'll come in now uhh Udona - Sensei. "

It had definitely been a while since I called her last Sensei - like that. Almost as if being moved by and outside force my body awkwardly began to move. My destination, it was one so familiar to me it seemed I exerted no energy making my way towards my old classroom. Udona - Sensei slide open the door, the motion seemed so effortless in itself. Yet, my thoughts began to simply clear out as I strolled into the room full of the precious shinobi in the academy. I felt kinda bad about the fact that a percent of there destinies would be to die painfully by a superior opponent or kekkei genkai user.

" Class, today we have a special treat. A genin from one of the old graduating classes has decided to talk about there experiences. Please give your full attention, and that means you Magi."

I could see the frustration in the boys face, the pain as well but only for a third of a second. The only reason I could catch it was because of my connection to those feelings. It was like a wavelength only felt by those who have been through the same experiences. I shook my head a little, those thoughts would cause me to space out once again but I couldn't fail at the task given to me. I walked towards the center, it seemed like more steps then it actually was, I guess it's because of all the stress.

" Hello, I am Hayabusa, Mokuba but you can just call me Hayabusa - Senpai. "

I blurted out what instantly came to my mind in reality I could feel that my voice sounded kinda stupid and uncool with how happy I seemed. I really wanted to say something meaningful which would have a great impact on there future but I felt silly. That was when it hit me that if I said something dark and dreadful it might ruin some of there hopes and dreams. I put on a bright and goofy smile and once again began to speak to the students.

" Okay, so I came here to tell of some of the experiences as a ninja. Now to be honest, it's what some would call boring. The running of errands and the rescuing of pets and that sort of nature. . . I don't find it to be boring personally. Helping those within the village extends more then just picking up a kunai and fighting. I have been in some situations where I wished I didn't have to pull out a kunai and attack. . . I mean it's not that I'm saying don't fight. . uhh. . . well I mean I fight when I really wanna protect something. In my experience that is what a shinobi is a protector of his or her village. . . yeah that's right. . . "

I was so embarrassed that I kinda stuttered out most of my words and about twenty five percent of what I said didn't really answer the question of talking about my experience. I was just once again trying way too hard for something so simple. I stepped back wondering what I would say next. This was a bit harder then I had actually thought it would have been to tell a story since I was really a novice myself.

I needed to begin again or else the awkward silence would consume me. I began to look around, back and forth surveying the classroom and those listening.

" I can say as a ninja you are a protector. I remember a mission I had when I first finished the academy. It was just to collect a cat, the sad part was the cat was taken and killed. . . the culprit was a Iwagakure shinobi hoping to find a genin off balance at the outer edges of the leaf forest. . . I was taken by surprise something that should never happen and was nearly killed. I. . I wish I could tell you being a shinobi is all fun and games but it isn't in the slightest. With dedication that should far exceed mine. Hehe, you should be able to take on anything in your way. "

I wanted to finish but before I could a kid raised his hand. It was the boy who looked at me like he was better then everyone else. I almost could feel that smugness he was just like that Uchiha.

"So, you're saying that you messed up big time and ran away from that Iwa Ninja? Haha!"

I wanted to strangle that little brat at that moment but I held back. I didn't wanna be embarrassed by another uchiha brat in my lifetime.

"I never said that. . . I shoved a kunai into his gut and he got away. Yes, my fear overwhelmed me to a point I froze for a bit. What I was trying to say was that you have to be alert at all times or else you could. . . end up in a not so okay position."

My intention wasn't to show up that kid at all, there was just a want to explain that sometimes you will be surprised and there is no way to be always in control. I could feel my cheeks heat up with a tiny bit of intensity. I hated whenever I blushed it made me look so girly that it would annoy me.

Moving silently, my body backed up. The story and what little experience I had to offer was pitiful and almost laughable. There was a need swelling within my gut, a need to become better so I could really help them but in the end all I did was just make myself look stupid and incompetent. Udona-Sensei touched my shoulder, it was like she understood my severe frustration and wanted to calm me down. This was always like her even when I was within her class, such a sweet disposition to such a loser like me.

"Now that seems to mark the end of his speech. Please class thank him for his time."

I didn't even hear them thank me since I bowed so fast and left just as quickly.I hated this mission to be very honest with myself. I felt inside my heart that i didn't really complete it I just kinda gave a stupid speech and ran out as fast as I could. I guess I really was lame after all just like he told me a long time ago.

" You'll always be a loser. Hnn, and it'll always be your destiny to fail at everything laid before you.

"Damn! Why did he have to be so right. . . whatever I gotta turn in this mission. ""
