24 Chapter 24 : The Leaf be Li (1/2)
So yeah I changed the name and cover. Idk. Why not? Hehe. So a little more info on my original story I'm doing, It's basically a mix between Percy Jackson and Avatar the Last Airbender, I think. I'm trying to figure out how to balance this story and that one. In the meantime, I'm just doing this one. Speaking of Avatar, Let me know if I should take a crack at it. It's my number one favorite show besides Naruto. I hit another inspiration so it doesn't matter if I'm still sick. Esketit.

Kenjifelt the solace of having no eyes. He enjoyed it. It almost made him want to go away peacefully, never knowing what's coming, always receiving help, but it wouldn't last. He knew that. Deep down, he didn't want it to, he still had a job to finish. Aya and Rei both tried to give Kenji space and time to grieve, but even he didn't want that. Neither did Kakashi and Sasuke.
About three days went by. Kakashi and Sasuke dropped by Aya's newfound house. They didn't have many belongings, since there wasn't really time, but they made do. They approached the door and knocked. Aya welcomed them into her dwelling. Kenji still didn't speak to Aya much, but she had faith he would come around.
Kakashi leaned against the counter and started his barrage. ”Aya, Tsunade asked me to come. She said Kenji's eyes are done.”
A young boy's ears wrinkled across the house. Part of him was excited, the other half scared. Aya told him about the complication with his eyeballs, finally. Since she had to do it, the identity of Kenji's mother came out with it, but Aya told him she didn't know her. That was the truth at least. Aya hoped for him to assure her that she would always be his mother, like always, but he only nodded and carried on. She still had hope though. The leaf was a good place, and she knew it would change her son in many ways.
”How...does she want to proceed?” Aya became defensive, like any mother should.
”She asked if Kenji could go ahead and try them out, in case there's a problem.”
Aya contemplated, but Kenji rounded the corner using the wall as a guide.
”Let's do it.” He said.
Kakashi angled his eye to Aya. She was still looking down on herself. Kakashi heaved, pulled out his book, and stuffed a hand into his pocket. ”Well, lets go everyone.”
Sasuke, Aya, and Kenji followed the masked ninja to the hospital.

In the Mizukage's office...
”Sir! We've located the Commander. From the looks of it, the kid skinned him alive. The Commander taught him that skill personally.” A few Anbu knelt in front of the broad desk.
Yagura, resting without a care in his seat, said ”Well that's fine. He wasn't needed in the long run.” The dastardly smile confused the squad.
”Sir?”
”Nothing. Leave me. I'll inform you when the time comes.”
