Chapter 36

"What did you do to me." Finally she said something. I however this time did not reply, because of her I understood that small talk between two people of strengths equal to heaven and earth with her being heaven and me earth would be pointless.

I would definitely let my guard down against her and when I do she would pounce at me like a lion to her pray. Why I make so many comparisons about her and me is something that even I don't know.

I just raised my hand and did that thing with my palms, you know when you say come at me bro with your hands. I was feeling like I could fall down any second. My whole body was hurting and my head bleeding. I am also pretty sure some of teeth was broken. Luckily most of them are baby teeth and there is like only 2 or 3 permanent teeth.

"Fine, I'll beat it out of you." She said and started running. With the byakugan, her movements were as clear as day. She was ran in a zig zag motion at a speed that I would not be able to see if I was I did not have the byakugan.

She was in my area of motion in 3 seconds but this time before I could attack her I was kicked in the nape by her. Lesson learnt, just cause you can see does not mean you can react to it.

...

3 hours later

I woke up, my head felt like it was crushed into a thousand pieces. "You finally woke up." A voice came next to me. I looked and saw the girl who beat me up was sitting and leaning on a tree staring at me.

I did not talk to her, my body did not hurt as much, my head was bandaged. "Why did you bandage me?" "I wanted for you to heal my arm." "Why did you take us to the grass lands and put a blanket on me." "I told you I wanted to show you this place, until you insulted me." "Oh... Sorry, I misunderstood you but I have to ask me. Why me?"

"I am sure there are others our age. We don't even know each other. I even tried to kill you with that jutsu." I said guiltily. I am an idiot, no matter how much wis or int I have, it will never change.

"I even called you a demon. Plus we fought with each other. Or was I too weak for you to even consider me an enemy." I was depressed. The world was going too fast for me to adapt. I nearly died, lost my parents, got insulted and my parents also got insulted and the girl who retorted back for me, I treated her as if she was an enemy, we fought then I lost and then she did her best to help me recover.

I truly am an idiot and trash. She did not a say single word while I talked. When I finished she said "That jutsu was just meant for cover and it's not enough to kill me... 'A normal 5 year old would die though' She thought. When I said you were weak, what I meant was that compared to the people I am used to fighting you are weak but for our age you truly are strong. To the point of making me lose the facade when I came to this village." I did not say anything, I just waited for her to continue.

"I chose you because I find you interesting. I do not know many people my age and so many chunin and genin were in there talking to you, questioning you. So I wanted to know the reason so I eavesdropped and then I heard you getting insulted. You however was just blankly looking as if fthe world did not exist. Then you know what happened right."

I nodded. I got up, it hurt a little and said to her "You haven't healed your arm yet.?" I asked as I got closer to her. "Yeah, I tried medicine but they did not work. I was gonna ask my father how to heal it if you could not." She innocently said. 'Which one is she now, I wonder? The calm or the obnoxious one'

"Show me your shoulder. I'll unblock your tenketsu." I said as I got near her. She stood up from her spot and showed me the shoulder. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. All tenketsu that I blocked were now unblocked.

She felt the pain on her shoulder gone as she again sat back down. This time she gestured for me to sit with her. Although I lost the fight, I still felt as if I wronged her so I sat next to her.

"Tell me your name." She said as we sat next to each other leaning on the only tree in grass plains. "Mukai Hizashi. What about yours?" "hmm.. I will tell you on the day you defeat me." She said with a smile. At that moment for me time stood still, it felt as if the whole world stopped moving and that there was only the two of us in this grass plains.

I merely shook my head and denied the thought of her looking cute at that moment and said to her "How will I find you then? It is not like you know where I live and I am guessing your parents aren't too keen on letting strangers like me come visit you" She nodded her head and said "we will meet each other here at this hour. What do you think.?" I nodded. We both stopped talking and started to admire the sun setting. The slowly moving clouds and the orange filled sky gave a sense of calmness to the beholder.

While watching this scene, it calmed my agitated spirit but the mood was ruined by that damn system. [System update commencing... 1, 2, 3] I don't care, leave me alone and let my enjoy this moment.

It was so relaxing for the both of us and fell asleep while leaning on the tree together.
