When I think about it, I'm actually just a normal teenager.
I have my problems, my good days, my annoying parents, my forgetfulness, great friends, boredom at school and and and ...
My past was sometimes a top & sometimes a flop, I don't yet know what my future should look like and I go through a small to radical change of image every now and then.
And of course one thing cannot be missing, the ninja existence.
I'm actually not that great at it. Daddy's little girl allowed herself to be persuaded to go to ninja academy at a young age to make dad proud. I do not regret it, because I have already experienced many things. But as mothers are, they worry about the little princess and send her to a normal school to be on the safe side, so that she is covered in case she's tired of being a ninja. I have to admit, normal school was more my thing.
Clichés, my friends, my life is full of them. Boring, normal ... nothing special. However, I find that strangely enough, this is often the exception.
In the program ...: My father is the boss of a weapons company and my mother works as editor-in-chief at a newspaper. I don't have Grandma & Grandpa on either side, because they were all enthusiastic ninjas. I don't have any siblings either, but that will save me a few squabbles.
Most of my best friends are male, but only because I find the gender less complicated ... of course I also have great female friends, so please don't speculate about my polarity.
Oh, I have to talk about the most important thing in my life, my turtle Snorre. She is the most beautiful, cutest, best & fastest turtle in the world.
But I should mention why I think about all these things ... my father wants to open a new factory in a different village ... so we're moving to Konohagakure.

On the day before…

"Tara! Are you finally coming? Don't waste time, we don't have that much left!" - "Just don't remember it Makito!" I walked with my best friend through the streets of Mobashigakure, a small, insignificant village in the realm of fire, my little home. We were on the way to ... yes, where actually? "Makito, are you finally making an announcement? You're dragging me through the whole village & I have no plan what is going on! Actually, I should check my room again." - "Yes, yes ... just come along & don't ask too many questions. "So I just trotted after him, you don’t have to challenge an argument in your last hours together…. although that's actually my strength.
After 10 minutes of walking we came closer and closer to my favorite spot in the village, a small lake with an island. "Well, Tara, I'll paddle you over there now." - "Do you want to take me prisoner so I don't go or is the farewell party going on?"-" What a great idea that would have - ... er, one of the two could well be true. "'Yes .. I know my friends.'Of course it took some time until my buddy paddled us both to the island, as I said, we are not super ninjas, they were in our village also not necessary.
While Makito puffed the boat across the lake, I looked at everything again carefully.
The lake was quiet & you could only hear the paddles clapping on the water. The wind danced around your ears and spread the quiet thoughts of the surrounding trees.
That reminded me of all the beautiful, hot summers that we all spent here by this lake. All day long everyone was in the water to cool off and in the evening there was always a lot of food and energy reserves to recharge. It was just indescribably beautiful.
For a moment I thought to smell the scent of a warm summer day ... "I know that you will miss it, but we really have to move on ..." - Makito brought me from my memory back to the present. So I swayed out of the small boat and made my way through the small forest to the usual meeting point with him.
I was already listening to loud music when Makito took out a blindfold: "Haha, I forgot! If someone asks, you haven't seen anything since we were in the boat." - That was typical again, but well, I was happy that I was able to empathize with all the typical character traits on my last evening here.
The music continued to increase in volume when I heard two giggling people approaching us: "Well, it took you a long time!" - "Yes, it's about time you hit here, we almost started without our guest of honor. "I recognized the voices of my best friends Nanami and Kameko.
Kameko took my hand and dragged me further before I could comment.
Through the blindfold I could perceive a change in light, it became increasingly brighter & it began to smell like food.
I recognized the voices of my friends and wanted to take off my blindfold - "No, not yet! We still have to provide something ..." - "You said that we would be late, but you still haven't finished it: D Logic Nanami! "-" Don't always complain, we're just not as clever as you are! "I had to start laughing because that is very similar to my friends. After another 4-5 hours ... or just a few minutes & a lot of whispering from my friends, which seemed like an eternity to me, the countdown came to remove my blindfold. "3, 2, 1 ... surprise !!!"
I saw all my friends in the middle of a wonderfully decorated square, with colored lights, flowers, streamers and all the trimmings! When my eyes had processed the first overwhelming impressions, I also tell my presents, what they had placed between the tables with food.A brand new, super chic (ninja) outfit, a camera and a thick book, which I could identify from afar as a photo album. "You're crazy! Totally crazy! You're just the best!" Haha, I'm trying to find the right words, but I think she knew what I wanted to say to them.
And when they got the reaction they wanted, the party really started.
Loud music, food, a lot of talk ... and alcohol.
That's why I don't remember too much about that evening, but a sober genius captured the whole evening with my camera.
The pictures showed (of course) drinking games, how I camped with my buddies, we threw food ... and the last picture shows us how we all lay crying in each other's arms in a large group cuddling round ...

So this is what my last night at home looked like. Now we were on the way to Konoha by carriage.
"Katara, stop dreaming! We will be in Konoha in a few moments!", My mother called to me from the front & I could already see the gates of Konoha.








This is my first fan fiction & I would appreciate a few opinions and suggestions for improvement. :) (I'm working on my spelling!)
