After I was fully dressed, I went ninja style; out the window. It was getting dark, a pang of sadness washed over me as today was coming to a close, pulling me one step closer to the end of the week.
I walked around, seeing the few familer faces I had grown up with, doing their buisness, or heading home. Konoha had raised me together. I had no family. My parents had died during The Nine Tailed Fox’s rampage.
I grew up with Naruto, I helped out Sakura when Ino and her broke apart. Heck I even knew Sasuke well before he turned antisocial.
The clawing at my heart grew stronger as memories of my friends crashed over me like a tidal wave. I swallowed back tears and clenched my jaw.
I didn’t have to think about where I was going, my feet knew the way to my favorite place in the world.
I got colder as I climbed higher up Hokage Mountain. I stared rubbing the goose bumps on my arms subconsciously.
I felt numb; I couldn’t hear or feel anything. I felt vulnerable; if I got attacked I was a goner. Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing. It would certainly be easier.
Ha! Yeah right! You could ask anyone who truly knew me that I would go down kicking and screaming…..maybe even biting. But I don’t think I would ever kill myself.
I pulled myself up the last step and plopped down in my spot right on top of the Forth Hokage’s head. He was my favorite Hokage. I believe that he stood for sacrifice. Soon, I too would have to sacrifice myself for my loved ones.
I’m not sure how long I sat there staring up at the stars. My butt had gone numb from the cold stone. I was seriously friggen cold. So I stood up, my toes off the edge like a diving board. I took a deep breath as I peered at the ground far underneath me, lit by the full moon. I jumped off, my arms spread apart, falling fast, turned and tucked into a graceful swan dive, chakra-coating my landing, a large dent where I landed.
God I love doing that.
I thought of the time I freaked out Naruto doing that as I walked home, not expecting much sleep.
