Asuka looked up, she saw the Sakura tree branches looming over her giving her quite a nice shade. The breeze was nice, it wasn't cold nor hot just at the right temperature. The book in her hand was Leaf's history, the start of the village, the civil war, the names and actions of some amazing people were written down. Heroes, leaders. She wondered if she would ever be remembered like this, in a book all her effort payed off.
Unfortunately that was just a stupid dream, most Shinobi died for the village and would be forgotten in a decade... 2 at most. Shinobi were unimportant, only useful to complete the mission requested for them and that's what she lived for. Either complete the mission or die trying. In reality she didn't know much about what made a human well... human. Why would people bother with emotions? It just had a negative effect on everyday life.
With a sigh she closed the book, it was time like this were she had to stop thinking otherwise she knew she might go back to how things were before and that wasn't what she wanted. If you had asked her 4 years ago if she would ever place the mission first before other people she would've said "No" with an insulted expression, now.... now she knew she could abandon others for the sake of the mission. it was the way of the Shinobi Life. The life of a tool.
