[13/23]
To the point..

All I could do was stare outside, seeing all the stars shine. I couldn't help but wonder what Sasuke, Naruto or Kakashi-Sensei are currently doing.

Every time I think about Sasuke all I feel is disappointment. My heart breaks whenever I think about the Uchiha. I actually mean it, the feeling just brings a quick wave of guilt into my chest.

Everything leads me back to him.

I wonder if he feels the same way I do?

Scratch that, I can no longer continue this way. Tsunade told me that she is going to cast a strong healing jutsu once again, and from there we will start medical training. She said she will make me stronger than she is.
We are the only ones left from our clan. The Senju are no longer high and mighty like we once were back in the old days. There's only very few left of us.

I sigh as we walked in to a small stay-in in a nearby village. I set down my backpack and looked around, taking a seat on the bed.

My whole life I felt as if I'm a bothersome, I felt as if I'm disabled and will never be able to become strong and live up to my clan's legacy. I'm suppose to be strong like my brothers who are slowly on their way to become strong ninjas.

I'll become stronger. I'll live..

I'm determined. Nothing will stop me, not even illness, not even Sasuke.

I'm becoming stronger for me. For my brothers, for mom and dad.

**

[Name] has been gone for almost two months now. I left behind Sakura and Naruto in the village and I've decided to get stronger. Orochimaru will guide me the way to be stronger and to avenge my brother.

I knew if [Name] were here, I would've stayed. She was what kept me going, she held me down to earth.

But she's no longer beside me. She's nothing but a memory to me now.  A precious memory I hold close to my heart, but you keep me going.

But if it's meant to be, [Name]... We will meet again. I'll be waiting, I hope you wait for me too. You're my destiny , the time of our fate is slowly passing.

**

Tsunade and I went through heavy training, I've learned how to be a medical nin and she showed me all her techniques. She told me I had potential to become her successor. I held amazing chakra control. Tsunade was a very far distant relative from us Senju, but I'm not.

I managed to unlock our clan's kekkei genkai — Wood Style release. Our clan is known for our amazing strength and tremendously strong chakra reserves . According to father us Senju were known as "the Clan with a Thousand Skills." We vary wide from taijustu, genjutsu and ninjutsu.

I know my brothers will soon be top tier ninja, and they will serve Konoha just how our founder Hashirama Senju taught us.

More months passed and I felt my body feel better day by day. Tsunade slowly stopped giving me herbs and medicines. My body feels completely healed.

But according to Tsuna, she has been summoned to Konoha as quick as possible. "Third Hokage passed away..." She said, in shock. "They want me to become Hokage."

I was watering the plants she planted, and I gasp. "Tsunade-San, you can't let this opportunity go." I said, looking at her distressed self. "Our descendants are a line of Hokage. You are more than prepared, Tsuna-San. Don't doubt yourself anymore."

Tsunade sighed, "[Name], Im not prepared to be a Hokage. Lets go gamble, I'm feeling extremely anxious."

Rolling my eyes, I got ready and followed Tsunade. "You know, this bad habit needs to go as soon as you become Hokage." I said jokingly. "Shut it."

**

I sat next to Tsunade just watching her gamble. Until we heard footsteps get closer to us.

"Oi!! That's [Name]-Chan!! Dattebayo!" I turned around quickly, noticing that voice immediately. "Naruto! What are you doing here?!"
Tsunade furrowed her eyebrows and turned around and grinned. "What are you doing here, Jiraiya?" She asked, and then the whole environment got serious. "Naruto, [Name]. Take a walk outside, I have to talk to Tsunade." Was all Jiraiya said.

Naruto smiled at me, and lead the way outside. "[Name]-Chan! How have you been? You seem very healthy now! You look even more beautiful than I last time I saw you.. Hehe"

I blushed, and fiddled with my fingers. "Thank you, Naruto. I've been great, I hope you are too." I said, "you've gotten taller too! You've been training haven't you!"

Naruto laughed, "I have! But Sasuke left the village a couple months ago.. Right after the Chunin Exams. The Village has changed a lot, believe it.." he continued.

"Sasuke left the village?" I repeated, in shock. "What do you mean?! Why did he leave?"

Naruto put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, [Name]-Chan. I'll bring him back home." He said, "hehe, I promised to myself that I will become stronger for you! Remember?"

**

Tsunade agreed to go back to the village, we packed our bags and were ready to go. I also had a new outfit. I wore really basic attire, long black ninja pants, and a black long sleeve crop top, with a fishnet shirt underneath. My shirt had the Senju crest in the back, and I wore black ninja scandals. My [hair color] hair has gotten longer, but ever since I started to get healthier my body has somewhat blossomed.

Naruto and Jiraiya waited for us, "Pervy Sage! I'm so excited [Name] will be back in the village, dattebayo!"

When I walked out, Naruto grabbed my bags. "I'll carry this for you, [Name]-Chan!" He said cheerfully, making me smile. "You're such a gentleman." Tsunade said. "You two will make a nice pair."

I laughed at Tsunade's remark, turning to see Naruto blushing.

"You're so sweet.. but my heart belongs to Sasuke."

**

"What! [Name]-Chan! It's only been 2 months, and you have nice boobs! You're so lucky mine are small.." Sakura said sighing. "Heh. That's dreadful." Ino smirked, making the two clash heads. "You're not one to talk, if anything you're exactly like me! A Flat board!"

I was greeted by the lovely pair, alongside Hinata and Tenten. I spent the rest of my day with them. Leaving Tsunade and Jiraiya talked things out about becoming Kage, and Naruto who went to eat ramen.

"Ah, thank you, Sakura-Chan. But I'm not gonna be staying here for long. I'll be leaving the village again. I'm basically a traveler now!" I announced, making the girls sigh. "[Name]-Chan.. we will miss you.." Hinata said, with sad eyes.

And it's true, I'll be leaving again soon. I'm joining Jiraiya and Naruto on there training. Tsunade decided it will be better for me to stay away from the village, and promised me to take care of my brothers.

**

Naruto and Jiraiya were out training, it's been now two long years since I've returned to the village. Tsunade told me that Katsu, Kaoru and Masaaki are all big.

Katsu and Konohamaru are the top of their class, Katsu being number one of course. And father and mother have been taking good care of the twins.

I was still a medical ninja, but Jiraiya taught me some skills there and there. He taught me how to do the Rasengan which was pretty hard. I mastered Wood Release, and my strength has increased.  I haven't had trouble with my Illness in a while, Naruto would occasionally ask me about my healing seal but I never explained to him why I had it, or my illness.

"[Name]-Chan! You're quite short, dattebayo! You should've drank more milk when we were younger!" Naruto said, putting a arm around my shoulder. "I'm not short! You're just tall!"

Jiraiya chuckled, "no, [Name], you're quite short." He said, as he lead the way back to the hotel we were staying in. It was late and the sun was no longer out, Naruto insisted we should go back now. I told them I was going on a walk, and they told me to take care.

I sighed, and looked up at the sky. "Sasuke, do you see the same sky I see? I wonder how you've been.."

My days passed slowly, and every single day I lost hope in Sasuke. I would never understand why he would betray our village, I would and will never understand why he chose this path for himself.

I walked towards a pond and rested myself against a tree, I looked at the moonlight reflect off the water and thought about everything.

If it is you,
how would you feel?
