The Lazy Ninja (A Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 9

I was walking back from another day out in the forest. I usually played by myself because I liked to talk to M.N. I was all dirty because I had played around in the dirt a lot, but I had also trained a bit.

I started walking towards my small village, but then I noticed how desolate it was. 

'Why does it look so empty....?' I thought to myself.

I began to look around, in all the huts in the village, for anyone.

Then I realized everyone was gone. No one was there but me.

"Oh my, my. Look what we have here. A little girl ALL alone. What should I do with her............" 

I heard an unfamiliar voice from behind me and saw some weirdo that looked like a snake.

"Umm, who are you? Where's mama and papa."

He smirked.

"Obviously they left. They didn't want you anymore. You're a failure."

I started crying. "You're wrong! Mama and Papa love me!!" 

"Oh really, then why would they leave you alone? Did they really love you?"

I started stumbling back as he took a few step towards me.

"If they really did, why did they leave you? You're obviously so useless nobody wanted to take you with them."

Everything became dark and I couldn't see a thing. I started crying, wanting to see light or something, but everything was black. 

All I could here were the words 'You're so useless...' and 'they left you because you're useless.'

I screamed as tears streamed down my face, and as I tried to cover up my ears to stop hearing the words but they kept coming.

'Nobody wants you, and nobody ever will......'

"ISe......CHISE!!!! WAKE UP!!!"

I woke up, and sat up straight, ready to fend of the intruder. I held a kunai in my hand, ready to stab the person.

"ChISE, it's me, kakashi."

My eyesight slowly became normal and I saw Kaka-san. I settled  down, and then noticed how sweaty I was.

"Chise, you were screaming in your sleep. What happened?" He asked, with a concerned face.

I looked at him, trying to show him I was alright with a fake smile. 

"It's nothing. Just some stupid stuff."

He gave me a knowing look.

I sighed.

"It was a nightmare."

He sweatdropped. "I think I know that much. Care to elaborate?"

"It was the day........my village abandoned me..."

"Chise, are you sure they abandoned you. The Hokage said that he had information on your clan, maybe there's something there. You can't make that assumption."

I shivered, and glared up at Kakashi. "You don't understand. I've had to grow up all by myself, learn how to tale care of myself, I didn't even get to have a proper childhood. I was constantly kicked out of every place I sought refuge. Not one place offered to help. Konoha is the first village I've stayed in longer than a couple days. I can't forgive my clan for making me go through all of that. Maybe one day I will try to understand what happened. But it's just such a hard memory to relive. Even though I know it might not of been because of me, I still can't bare to let go of all the times I had to suffer because they were gone. Did you know, I was once almost stoned to death by an entire village. I was 5 years old, Kakashi. 5 years old. I had no idea of all the pain and hatred this world held. After everyone left, I was all the sudden just cast into the harsh reality of this world. I had no idea how to protect myself or how to live. I can't just forgive them like that."
