The Tale Of Sakura Haruno | My Elysium, My Warmth <3 |

Spring Festival And Boys

Although my schedule has changed much, I still do training on my own. I do ninjutsu and weapon training. TenTen also said that she would love to teach me some Bukijutsu (Weapon ninjutsu) when she has time.

19th July 1616

"Kāchan! Where is my makeup kit?"
"In the bottom right drawer of your dresser, sweetheart."
...
"I love you, Kāchan! You're the best!"
"I know, sweetheart." I heard a giggle.

My mom is the best! She got me a new makeup kit! My old one was made up of my mom's extra make-up since I was young and didn't use it much. I used to only use it on my birthday or at formal events. Ever since I was 5 I wanted to look pretty and wear red or pink lipstick.

I couldn't stop myself from jumping up and down. Thankfully, I had already taken off my weights today. I wanted to laugh like a little gremlin but kept it in. I was going to look like a proper lady today. I needed to act like it too. This was my first time attending a festival after graduating from the academy. Ino and the others had already attended one before. I had missed it since I was in the hospital at that time.

It might not sound like a big deal but it is. This is the first time I would be treated like an adult. I would be allowed to participate in games I wasn't allowed to before and will be able to host a stall in the future if I have time! That's all a 14-year-old ninja girl could ever want at a festival except when thinking about boys. Also, I hate people who judge teenage girls crushing on boys when it's literally something that happens naturally! It's not a big deal! Most of us girls don't even know who our soulmate is and we have a right to experience first, second, third, etc love! Why is love the thing we hate so much? Love is a wonderful feeling. I hope that everyone gets to experience it atleast once in their life.

I could go on a rant but I'll just stop since I'm done getting ready! (Look at the picture at the top for reference) I went with a cute yet mature look. The pink rose accessory that my dad got looks so good! I feel like a pretty princess. I grab a purse and attach it to my kimono. I also wear a thigh pouch underneath which contains some kunai and shuriken. I also hide a few senbon needles in my hair. I am a ninja afterall!

"Sakura! Your friend Ino is here!" My mother shouted from the living room. I quickly put on my sandals and rushed out the door. It seemed like a fast wind passed through, but it was just me. I had become quite fast after removing my weights. As soon as Ino came into my sight I rushed and hugged her. "Oh my god! We look so pretty!" I giggled as I let go of the hug and stepped back to view her look properly.

It had been an hour since we joined the festival. Me and the girls just walked around and admired the scenery for a bit, exploring what kind of stalls were set up this time. Me and TenTen won a prize each from the target game. I got the cherry blossom plushie while she chose a sunflower plushie.

I could hear Ino shouting from 2 stalls over. "Just get in the net, damn fish!" She said 'elegantly'. I walked to them just in time to see Ino finally getting the fish on the net but the net broke. Ah, classic scammers. The same thing happened to Hinata but she didn't scream like a chimpanzee. She just simply said, "Oh well..." and then gracefully stood up and fixed her kimono. Meanwhile, Ino was arguing with the scamming stall owner that his game was too unfair. I quickly grabbed Ino by her collar and dragged her away. Hinata chuckled and followed us.

We all saw TenTen talking to Neji. He is her teammate who she 'totally does not' have a crush on. Ino and I giggled our eyebrows from afar and winked at TenTen. She just ignored our looks and talked with her handsome teammate. Hinata just gave her a good luck thumbs up. I wanted to beat that guy up but I also wanted to respect Hinata's decision. We then got bored when didn't do anything and decided to go find a snack.
