The Old Life, Chapter 15
It has been a year and the missions are ok. Vocami said this could be our last mission then we go into the Chunin Exams. Our mission is to deliever a simple medicine package to the Village Hidden in The Grass. The medicine was made from Grimu's clan of course. Still home, I was packing the nesscery items for the trip. Blankets, frist aid kit (lol), dry food (beef jerkey!), and my weapons. Mafuca has been a great friend and another mother. On sundays we go and talk to Lenda and on the other days we play chinese checkers (and other brain games) and chat about other things. When I left she started to cry. I told her not to, for I would be back soon. I gave her a hug then left to go meet up with the team.
When I got to the weapon shop everyone was there, even Vocami. "Hello Saga, I hear you guys are going on your last mission, " said the weapon keeper. "Yup. So how's my baby?" "She's shining like always." He went to the back of the store and came back with a case. Inside was Heart Break, my sword. "Are you going to take her this time?" "Yup and it's a he." I smiled at him causing him to laugh. I took off my bag as the man placed Heart Break in his shelth. I placed Heart Break on my back first then my bag. "Is everyone ready now," Vocami said to us. We all nodded. "Then let's go!" We ran out of the gates and into the ocean of sand.
So far we haven't been faced with bandits. We made camp about halfway to the Grass Village. It was a long run from here and everyone was tired. We didn't know what was going to be out here in the desert so we each stood watch. Vocami did hers first. Before that we ate. Everyone brought their own food (that goodness). Mostly dry foods and sweets. When it was my turn to keep watch I thought about Tobi. (*giggle*) He's probably whining about the leader not getting me sooner or now. Kisame missing our sword fights. He'd win some and I'd win my share. I don't know about the others.
The next morning, we took off to finsih our travel. We soon came to the Grass Village. Walking through the gates their people welcomed us warmly then we got rooms to stay in, in a hotel. Everyone took a long nap except for Grimu. When I woke up he was by the window. I was kind of worried about him and his actions since we left. So I walked over to him, but guessing that he heard my foot steps, he turned around. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Nothing, I was going to ask you the same thing." "Why?" "You've been acting strange ever since we left the village." "I know." I didn't now what to say next, so I just looked at him waiting for him to continue.
"My mother was killed by a man who lives in this village. It wasn't by accident. He was demanding for the forbidden healling jutsu (not the one where you give your life for another who is already dead or about to be dead but something close to it)." He paused for a while, trying to remember," My mom and few others knew of it and how to do it. A person who had many or very life taking wounds would have them healed by this jutsu. However the person using the jutsu would age until they were near death. Basicly the person who was healed would live longer. My mother was the only one who would do it. I had no father at the time, so there was no one to stop her. I tried to but she went anyway. The man had huge cuts on his body so I could see why he wanted the jutsu so bad," he paused then continued, " In the end he never wanted the jutsu. He just wanted a body with rich blood. He killed her once he saw her and sucked her dry. While he was drinkg the cuts started to close; his skin and blood cells reproduced rapidly. It was nothing we ever seen before. After what happened, we buried what was left of my mother. I had to stay with my mothers' parents after that." "I see, ... I lost someone also, but it was somewhat my fault and mostly the others fault." "Who was the other?" "The Kazekage."
