The young kunoichi had risen from her seat before responding to my response, thoughts wandered through my head as she made her way over to me. Once she had reached me, she extended out a hand to me, to help pull me up off of the ground. It was a bit weird to me, such a small girl tried to help a big guy like me off of the ground, but never the less, I went along with it; mostly rising up to my feet on my own.
We then started walking together; side by side. It was at this time she would take her chance at replying to the words I had said, response to her own original statement about how she felt. When she said she was sorry, I knew that was going to cause her to think about me and my own life’s pain that I had experienced over the years. A man my age, with shinobi parents would have probably been dead by now anyway or at least on their deathbeds. But, I didn’t really look that old, probably not that much older than this girl.
She showed pity upon me, or it appeared to be pity, as she tried to console me, despite it not being needed. I wasn’t a miserable man, nor was I depressed about anything that had transpired in my life. Everything that happened was for the best, from killing my own father to my mother dying of natural causes—old age. Other than that, my relationship with my fellow Kiri-nin was fine, and even if they didn’t like me now, it was my fault for leaving, I choose that path.
Besides, I was a manipulative-likeable person, so I could surely win back their praises with time. As we would approach a cliff that had a great overview of Kirigakure, she would proceed to answer my question about why she wanted to become a shinobi. I tried my best to listen to everything she had to say, so that I had a good understanding on it before I would pose my offer to the kunoichi. Why she wanted to become a shinobi was pretty interesting—I had yet to meet a shinobi who fought for the sake of their clan, bloodwise.“So many reasons for becoming a shinobi and you have yet to find a mentor . . . I cannot allow a shinobi as yourself let their determination and drive go to waste. So, what if I took you under my wing?”
