Tales of Konoha
The sun shines bright. Konoha, the capital city of land of fire. The faces of the Hokages once looked at the village are now obstructed by high buildings. They have risen around Hokage mansion and above the Hokage mountain. A main road goes from Hokage mansion like splitting a leaf and leading branches. At the corner of one of these streets, an old shop. where on ugly broken walls hangs Ninja tools. There sits Tenten. The streets of Konoha city is filled with crowd. She thinks how the Konoha has grown. Once it was like she could almost count all the villagers, she knew each and every one, she could gaze at one end of the village from another but now it has grown so much people have came over all over the world and settled in the once called hidden village it is not village anymore yet alone to be called hidden.
It is a hot day. She uses her fan to cool her up. The business is not going good for her. It is been a long time she has sold anything. She just sits there all day. The world is in peace. This new world has developed new ways of fighting and new ninja tools,old ninja tools are now mostly antiques,hardly anyone buys from her. She misses the old days where she could go out on a mission and she often day dreams about saving world with her ninja tools when she is bored at watching people go on busy street or when she is not dozing off,which she does often these days.
A fighting breaks out in the crowd. It is the masked man with his gleaming red eyes. He kills people on the street and comes at her. Before she could stand up her necks is his hands. A mysterious man appears from nowhere kicks out the masked man. Who is he? He turns and raises his hood up.
Neji! Is that you?
Thud..Thud.
She opens her eyes sees blurred vision of a bald man tapping the table.
Oh! It was dream. Yet another dream. Same villain same hero. Every day. Her hearts filled with emptiness.
“Oyy woman, How much is that thing for?”
“uhh...That one at the corner, that is 500 ryos” rubbing her eyes
“500 ryos for that rusty old thing, Really?”
“That is a unique weapon used in special technique, you wont find that anywhere else”
“Interesting, I collect unique things but 500 ryos for that Iron scrap is too much”
“That is unacceptable old man, I don't sell things to people like who do not have appreciation for my ninja tools”
“It seems you are not selling anything to anyone, Lets make a deal shall we?”
“No, that does wont work, it is 500 and that is it”
“Okay I am out of here” The old man slowly tries to walks away while looking at her.
“Wait...how about 300?”
The man smiled and came back. The old man knew it,he could sense her desperation. She hates it but she cant help it. That's how it goes for her these days.
As the sun went down she readied to close her shop. She looked at her shop as the cold evening breeze passed though her ragged clothes “I am not made for this” she thought. It is hard to live as something as you did not wanted to yet alone made for. She trained hard to be a kunoichi aspiring the like of Tsunade. She also became a kunoichi and she fought in war. But unlike Tsunade she is no legendary and she has no stories of her. She only hears people talking about great Naruto the Saviour.
She closed her shop an started walking towards her home. Sky had turned purple and the streets were lit. Happy people everywhere. She always felt like a ghost walking in such a lively street. A girl rushes by her from behind and trips. As fast as she tripped she stands up and runs across the street.
“Mama” the girl rushes at her mother to embrace her.
“Oh Sarada be careful. You should not run in street like that”
It is Sakura. Her old friend Before Sakura could notice TenTen, she slips into corner. She peeks to see the mother and daughter enter a cozy restaurant. Tears drop from her eyes. Every time she sees her old friends walking in streets Every time she sees the happy faces of her old friends she feels cheated. She feels cheated on Nejis death. Why did had to die? Why I am lonely. She has tried to hit on others and in the end even Lee but her advances have been futile. Everyone has found someone in the new world but she is alone, She did not became Hokage's wife,she does not inherited a flower shop,she did not married the last Uchiha. She does not own famous dojo either. She is left with her rusty ninja tools and her sick parents. Then she remembered loneliness is not the only thing bad in her life. she has rent overdue at her apartment and about to be kicked out.
To be continued....
