Chapter: Fear, hunger and will

He was dog tired and so many closed his eyes for a few minutes. He opened his eyes and there were only four Akatsuki around the campfire. He looked around questioningly and was immediately grabbed by his clothes with a hand ...

The little boy screamed in fear, grabbing the attention of the four Akatsuki around the campfire. Itachi came out from behind the bushes with the brat in tow and went back to the campfire. He threw the little one carelessly on the floor and looked at him contemptuously: “Why are you following us, little one?” The “little one” looked up angrily: “I'm not a little one, I'm a girl!” The Uchiha and the other Akatsuki too looked a bit confused, the little one really didn't look like a girl. She wore black Bermuda shorts and a wide, dark blue t-shirt. She had bandaged her calves and her elbows were also protected with bandages. She wore her Konoha ninja band on her forehead and her manner reminded of a little boy.Itachi laughed viciously: "You, a girl? Who are you little one?" The little girl stood up: "I am Sherly and I want to be one of you!" The five renegades laughed at the little one. They made fun of her. Kisame especially thought it was very funny: "Oh my God, a little girl here with us? We can play with dolls right away!" This statement brought Kisame an angry throat clearing from Sasori. Sasori gave Kisame a deadly look and Kisame winced slightly in fear. Sherly continued to look into these cold Sharing eyes: “I am strong, I want to come with you!” The Uchiha angrily grabbed the little girl by her T-shirt and said in an icy tone: “You'd better get out of here, otherwise I'll kill you Little one! "He threw Sherly back on the floor, but she continued to look at him confident of victory:" You can't kill me, you would regret it! I want to move with you, I want you to train me! ... Please. ... "That word, Sherly hated it:" Please "she hated asking someone for something.She always got everything without this word, no matter what she wanted, but here she saw no other way out than to pronounce this word. She still looked safely at the Uchiha, but he only pulled a kunai and held it to her throat: "I'll count to three, if you haven't disappeared there, I'll kill you! ..." Sherly looked at him a little unsure of. "Maybe I should forget the whole thing and train on my own. But then I'll never be strong enough to kill HIM. Mom ... what should I do?" Sherly considered. Finally she got up and ran out of reach. She crossed half the forest and finally sank to the ground, breathless.

"Shit, why did I do that? I should have fought like a real ninja!" Sherly looked around. It was such a dark night and the forest seemed to make things a lot worse. Sherly was gripped by the slight fear. She would never admit it to herself, but she was terrified. She looked around and heard something rustle behind her.She turned and carefully pulled a kunai out of her pocket. Individual beads of sweat ran down her face and she waited eagerly to see what was now lurking behind the bushes. Carefully she stepped to the bush and looked beyond. She was relieved when she saw that it was just her little fox Sako.

"Sako oh it's you!" Sherly picked up her little fox. She stroked Sako's head: "Oh Sako, why did I run away? I never run away from a challenge. I was just scared. But now I've disappointed mom. I will probably never be able to take revenge!" Sherly sat down exhausted on the floor. She was tired and so she finally fell asleep with her fox in her arms.

~ Sherly's dream ~

A small house in the village behind the leaves, Konoha Gakure. Somewhat off the edge of the forest where they lived happily. "Sherly? Come on, you have to take your final exam!" "Yes Mom" ​​Sherly was excited that today she should finally graduate from the Ninja Academy.And today at noon she would finally be a ninja. Overjoyed and confident of victory, the little five-year-old left the house and ran through the streets of Konoha. Nobody had ever believed that she would leave the academy as the best student at the age of five. But then they hadn't known Sherly well. She was strong, very strong. Your mother should be proud of her heiress. Sherly had only one goal, to prove to her family and father that she was strong. When she arrived at the academy, she immediately took her seat. She smiled and that didn't escape her best friend Kato: "Hello Sherly-chan!" The little girl looked to the side: "Hello Kato!" "Already ready for the final exam?" Kato was nice as always and Sherly nodded happily: " Yes, I will pass it one hundred percent! "Kato agreed:" Yes, I like to believe you, tell me, is it true that your mom is going on this top secret mission today? I heard that she is so dangerous that you can get around must be afraid of his life!"Sherly nodded with a smile:" Yes she goes, but she will come back. My mom is strong, everyone knows that. She is the strongest JoNin I know. She is my idol. "Kato sat down next to Sherly:" Yes, that's how most of them think ... "Sherly and Kato would have liked to have continued to talk, but they were interrupted by their teacher, Sensei Iruka:" Well my dear students, I will meet you one by one take the final exam, I wish you the best of luck! "The sensei left the classroom.

Half an hour later...

Sherly sat on the swing in front of the school and smiled to himself. She had passed the exam with distinction. The little girl looked up: "Kato! You passed too?" Kato grinned and held his ninja headband up in the air: "Yes or did you think I would fail?" Sherly shook her head: "No, you are just as good like me! "Sherly and Kato laughed when suddenly Sensei Iruka came up to them and said depressed:" Sherly ... there is something with your mother ... "The girl looked at her Sensei in shock ...~ Sherly's dream ending ~

Sherly's eyes widened in shock, the same dream every night. Each time she dreamed of the worst day in her past. She straightened up and looked around. It still seemed to be night and Sherly decided to take all her courage and go back to the Akatsuki. She got up and made her way back to the Akatsuki camp.

She already saw the fire and first hid behind a bush so as not to be discovered again right away. All five renegades sat around the fire and ate meat. "Where did they get the food from? I'm starving!" Sherly really couldn't understand that. Her stomach growls and Sherly hungrily held her stomach with one of her two hands.

The Uchiha looked behind him. He knew that this girl was back again, he had heard her and said threateningly: "Come out, you can't hide!" Sherly was slightly startled and then stepped forward. She smiled in embarrassment and looked at the renegades, who glared at her.Sherly's smile disappeared and she held her little fox closer to her chest (don't worry, he won't be squashed ^^). The Uchiha looked at her contemptuously: “I warned you, why did you come back?” Sherly gathered up all her courage: “I want to be trained by you! I have to take revenge on someone and I can't do it without your help. Please trains me and besides .... I'm hungry! " as if on command, Sherly's stomach growled again and she grinned sheepishly. Itachi took out a Kunai and was about to throw it at Sherly when Deidara prevented him: "Itachi-san, wait!" The Uchiha looked annoyed at Deidara, who continued: "Let's at least give her something to eat!" Sherly looked incomprehensible to the blonde murderer. “Did he eat something wrong, or is he really trying to save my life right now, or ... HE would rather kill me himself?” Sherly quickly discarded the last thought, she couldn't lose her fresh courage.Deidara grinned and looked at the little girl: "Come sit down and eat something!" Sherly didn't hesitate and sat down between Deidara and the Uchiha. Deidara handed her a piece of meat and she sniffed it briefly to make sure there was no poison on it (I know, that doesn't really help, but she is only six and doesn't know>.
