Granted it's short...that's just b/c I wrote is like 12 minutes ago! ^_~ ...

I awoke that morning to a world soaked in water. By noon, the rain was still pouring out of the skies, but I knew that my training could not be delayed any longer. I stepped out into the cold drizzle and made my way to a secret training area. Shrouded by trees I tried my hardest to stay focused and advance my skills as a ninja, but with the terenchal rain, it was hindering my training. With every knife and dagger I threw my aim was slowly dwindling to nothing. I knew I was better than what I was showing, but I was having problems proving myself. The thought of Orochimaru being dissapointed in me moved from the back of my mind to the front, but there was nothing I could do at this point and time. Now soaked with water, I traveled back to the village where I would have to explain myself to my superiors. Even though there was a raging strom going on, there were numerous people walking around. Every person I passed acknowledged my presence. For the first time in my life I felt wanted and respected, by someone other than close friends or some family members.
