1 The beginning

"Naruto I have something to tell you." I say to my older brother. "What is it Sumi?" Naruto asks. "I am going to the village hidden in the sand for a mission that will last a few years." I say in a sad voice.

"You're what?!" Naruto says in shock of what I told him. I give him the look of "I'm so sorry." "Just be careful and stay safe. I love you Sumi." "I love you too Naruto."

—at the gate—

"Are you ready Sumi, Obishi, and Tiko?" Otaku-sensei asks us. "Yes!" All three of us tell our sensei. "Good, but be warned, this is a long, dangerous journey we are about to take." Our sensei says jokingly. All four of us laugh. "All right let's go!" I yell as I start running outside of the village.

We had to be very careful at night, not only because of rogue ninja, but also all the animals and thieves. I had one of my bags with some of my clothes stolen. They were my favorite clothes too. Anyway we are almost at the village. Just one more day till we make it to the village hidden in the sand.

When it came nighttime my worst fear came true. Rogue ninja attacked us. We fought them off, but I ended up getting badly hurt. Obishi carried me to the the village as fast as he could. Some how the smell of my blood caught a boy's attention.
