My father stopped the carriage to talk to the men at the gate, but I paid little attention to them because I was trying to get a first picture of the 'village'. The birds sang, children played happily, exuberantly and loudly in the streets, which were lined with shops.
Lots of people stayed in the streets to do things or to talk to acquaintances, or to exchange gossip.
'It actually seems to me to be quite ... social, this little place. Maybe too big, maybe too social ... can we go home? 'Of course I didn't utter my thoughts out loud and let the rest of the journey pass quietly over me.
When we arrived at our new home, my mother was very excited & full of zest for action, how she wanted to put something where. Of course, I pulled myself out of the affair and went to explore my future home a bit. Fortunately, our house was in a green corner of Konoha, so I could have a peaceful look at nature.
The trees were green, the air was clean, the sky was blue, the clouds were fluffy ...[i]'Now all that's missing is a wolf and a rabbit to make babies ...'
My somewhat aggressive and hostile thoughts were interrupted by loud roars and the clang of weapons. At first I was gripped by a bit of panic, because I hadn't been involved in so many fighting situations yet, but my curiosity drew me closer to what was happening.
'How are you pretty much at the edge of the forest, near the city, who on earth could you fight unnoticed? 'I could see 3 boys through the trees ... probably my age.[i]'What the… the trainers ?! 'A little flattened I went on, so I was also visible to the boys, but they didn't care about my presence, I didn't bother anyone either.
When I couldn't make out a sensei, I stopped and took a ... maybe a little disgusted look at ...'Honestly, train ... voluntarily? What made her do it? They are good as far as I can tell ... Konoha is known for its excellent ninjas, a big village like this needs people like that, but do you have to spend your precious free time for such a sweaty - ... '- "Hey, You there! You in black! What are you looking at? Do you have something to complain about? ", a tall, brown-haired boy with a rather large dog pokes at me," Don't piss me off from the side and keep playing with your sisters! "I could see how he and the dog bared their teeth & the expressions of the other two boys looked in my direction in astonishment," Such an annoying bitch! "I heard someone curse behind me, but I had already moved on to myself no longer having to deal with the guys.
'Oh man, what a great start! I'm usually not that rude ... so not for no apparent reason.Haha, but well done Katara, that was a great dialogue, if the others had been there, they would have cried with laughter ... '
I don't remember how long I ran, but then I came to a lake where I sat down ... it made me feel a bit 'at home' and made me think ...
, Here I am ... The one in black with the big mouth. Plus, my tank top isn't black, it's navy blue! These ... these ... not color seers! Oh crap, I don't even fit in here. I'm not a good ninja, but that's exactly what makes the people here stand out ... I'm like a duck that can't quack ... a fly that can't fly! A fly that can't fly because it can walk well ... but walking alone isn't fun. Haha, I'm good ... just a few hours here & already such a convinced opinion ... What is this going to be? '
Katara slowly made her way home again to wait for the next day ...

The next morning I found it difficult to get out of bed, because the desire to spend the day here was zero.
My mood did not improve at breakfast with my parents, who wanted to force a conversation on me, "Don't you want to get to know a few people today? There are sure to be a lot of nice girls here!" - "Kemeko, please, we are here in Konoha , my girl is about to go to the Hokagen and wants to act as a ninja, right Katara? "At first a little flattened by this claim, I thought about it briefly & agreed with my father.'Why not adjust a bit? If it doesn't work out, I can always stop. '
Half an hour later, after my mother stopped whining, I was on my way to the Hokage. I knew that she was an old woman & was one of the legendary Sannin, isn't it enough for basic knowledge?
When, after waiting a bit, I was allowed into her room, I was amazed at her young appearance.'Women just know how to do it.'
When I described my situation and my concerns to her, she said: "Well, I can't assess your abilities yet, that's why you won't get any missions soon and I'll let someone train you who has time for such things. If you If you have a go, I'll assign you D-missions first. I'll let you know, you can go now. "
Hm, since everything was sorted out, I walked a bit through Konoha, maybe to memorize important places.
I then got myself a noodle soup, because it looked really great! I was glad that I was done with my soup when a guy ran into the booth stormy & screaming something.'Haha, there are a few people here that are very bright. Maybe it will be very interesting and funny after all .. '
When I wanted to go around the next corner, a woman with dark, short hair stood in front of me & introduced herself."People call me Anko & I've been assigned to train you for today." - "People call me Meatbread & I would start too." - "Haha, I like your humor, but don't be kidding me too often, otherwise I'll eat you. "
Um, I didn't want to put that much strength into this pointless conversation (although I had fun) and we went to a training ground.
"What rank do you have?" - "None, not really." - "Well, you risk a pretty big lip if you talk to me like that. But I should probably give you a few tips for survival first. 1) Never judge prematurely, analyze the situation 2) Use your surroundings to your advantage 3) Always keep an eye on enemy and friend 4) Know your limits and abilities. These rules apply in combat and in social life here in Konoha, always remember , then you have a real chance. Enough talk, let's get started! "
Anko didn’t show any consideration and pushed me to limits that I’ve never felt before, “You’re not bad, you can get something out of you!” - “Thank you, from you too!” - “Hahaha! You are too weird! "
After she had given me a little break, it went straight on and she wanted to check my Taijutsu…. and as you know, I'm not as nimble as in ninjutsu.
"My dead grandma could kick harder than you!" - "She probably kicked you in the head more often. I know what I can & what not, thank you." - "I like your quick wittedness, but you shouldn't talk to everyone Enemy allow your jokes, at some point that is no longer funny. Probably you are the person who then has nothing to laugh about. "
We hopped around there until late in the evening and weirdly I was a little sad when we finished, but I quickly got that thought out of my head. Anko gave me a training plan that I should follow for my own good as much as possible & ended the training for today.
"So, I would rate you as a chunin, not the best, but more acceptable. I will let Tsunade know and she will certainly not keep you waiting too long with the missions. You will probably have to train alone for the next time, because everyone has had enough do. Make contacts and find friends, as a ninja you need friends. ", and she was gone.
Worn out, but quite happy I went home and got something to eat and let the day pass in review.'Maybe ... but just maybe, I might start to like this a little bit. '

Anko was right and after 10 days I got my first mission with the Konoha headband. (Which I used as a belt because it looked pretty trendy).
On the day the mission began, I went to Tsunade's office to get more detailed information about the mission. When I walked into her office, I met the ninjas who were supposed to accompany me ...
