I reched my house and the first thing that I saw was a young girl cooking with all her concentration.
'Why does she need so much concentration in cooking? Is she trying to create a fusion reactor or what? ' She looked funny but oddly cute. I didn't disturb her and quickly went up to my room.
When I opened the door, I saw a scroll and a letter lying on the table.
"Congratulations Izuna-kun on your first day at the academy. Here's a little gift for you.
With best wishes, Mito "
I held the letter in my hands.
I opened the scroll, "Multi-shadow clone jutsu! . "
"What!? " I was surprised. Such a high ranking ninjutsu!
Some say that multi-shadow clone jutsu is over rated but let me ask you this.
What would you do if 1000 sage of six paths Naruto attacks you together.
"You would be fcked. "
I read the content and it's principles were kinda simple and the handseals weren't that much of a deal.
'How did Mito even get this? wasn't this suppose to be present in the scroll of seals!
I am pretty sure that hiruzen wouldn't allow anyone to copy it's content and gave it to some 5 year old!?(Naruto is an exception and he wasn't 5 year old when he stole it)
Even Mito wouldn't be able to do it! '
I thought and thought but only one answer came to my mind. 'Was there a copy of it in the senju clan since tobirama was part of it.
Hmmmm, this makes much more sense. '
I was happy that I got such a powerful ninjutsu but in my heart I was sad.
'Mito always took great care of me but....
I didn't even met her all this year. I always thought that I should go and meet with her but.... I was afraid.
I know it's a stupid reason but.... sometimes this stupid reason wins against all of our educated and logical reasonings.... just like mine.
I was afraid, afraid that how would she react after meeting me. Will she be happy, angry, sad...I don't know.
I was afraid, I wasn't afraid of her but I was rather afraid of the possibilities.
Afraid that things might not go the way I wanted it . I was afraid and so I ditch my responsibilities and avoided her. Because I had rather hide then facing it.
"Young master" a soft voice sounded in my ears.
"You should meet with Mito-sama. "
"She wouldn't hate you for everything that happened and even if she does.... I will always support you. " The little girl whispered softly.
I looked at the little girl who was holding both of my hands.
'She did the same one year ago.... ' My anxiety started disappearing and I looked at her eyes.
I wanted to call her.
Not as a Little girl nor as a little maid.
I wanted to know her name.
"What's your name? "
I was kinda feeling stupid that I didn't know her name even though we have been living together for more than a year.
I always only thought about training and improving my strength and I rarely paid attention to her and her name.
To me, as long as we understand each other then our names didn't mattered but...
it seems that it isn't the case, at least not anymore.
"Our names don't matter, do they young master?
What matters is that we understand each other.
I will always be young master's lovely maid and you will always be my young master. "
the little girl smiled but I could still see the little blush on her face .
I was in a trance for a while.
I reached out my hand and pinch her cheek which make her face more redder.
"Yes, you are right. I will always be your young master. "
I have changed.
Ever since I have met with her and others like mito, old hiro and tsunade. I have changed.
I don't know whether this change is good or bad.
I don't know where this change will take me to and how much will I change...
but I like this change.
My heart feels completed.
It feels warm inside...
*Ting*
I sensed a change in the air's flow.
It was only minute but I still caught it because it didn't felt natural.
I looked through the window and my eyes were set on the nearby tree.
'Found him!'
Feeling a cold gaze locked onto him.
The shadow shuddered a little then suddenly lept out and disappeared into the night.
'Interesting' I smirked.
'His hiding skills are Top-notch. I can steal this technique from his brain using my sparkle fingers. ' my face became colder.
"Y-young master. " seeing the cold face of izuna, the little girl was afraid but she still managed to put up enough courage to talk.
"Go back to sleep. " I tooked out a black cloak from the closet and put on a purple mask.
The azure eyes were shining through the mask.
" I will be right back. " izuna vanished.
The little girl did what she was told but she couldn't help but feel worried.
"Please God. please help young master. " the girl silently prayed in her heart.
