Naruto [The GAMER]

"Right, I will," I promised after a moment of staring. "I'm going to go get my stuff now."

My mother smiled and nodded in response. "I hope, that when we see each other again, you can trust me with the secret you've been keeping," she said hopefully as I walked towards my room.

I paused in the hallway at her request. "I promise," I said finally, swallowing the lump that formed in my throat. "I will explain all of it."

"Thank you," my mom hugged me again from behind before patting my back. "Now go before I keep you here forever.

I quicker a grin over my shoulder at her. "Like I wouldn't drive you crazy within the first week."

"Far too true," my mother sighed dramatically as I entered my room.

"[Equipment]" I vocalized as I entered, not bothering to lower my voice, my mother knew after all, prompting a box to pop up before me with an image of me in the centre of it before I began to load the gear my brother had gotten for me as an early graduation gift before he left for the front lines again, fully aware do the fact that my mother was watching me from the door as my gear appeared on my body.

I clipped it in place on my back, making a few testing draws to make sure it was good and not to cumbersome to draw in its position.

Once I made sure it was good I let out a deep breath and turned to the door to see my mother there with a few boxed lunches in her hands. "I'm heading out now," I told her quietly as I accepted the lunches and placed them in a seal in my equipment pouch.

"I look forward to when I can see you again," she sighed gently, placing a gentle kiss on my head. "Watch your teammates backs and listen to your senses, okay?"

"I will," I promised solemnly. "See you again soon!"

I gave her one more quick hug before dashing out the door, wiping my glistening eyes off on my sleeve as I rushed towards the gate for my mission.

"Are you seeing anything out of the ordinary, Uchiha?" My sensei's voice crackled over the radio into my ear quietly.

I lowered my binoculars as I pressed a hand to the throat mike I was wearing (Seriously, these guys basically have CODEXes but no telephones? Seriously?) while mentally cursing my lack of Sharingan. Being able to see Chakra would be seriously helpful right now.

"Nothing on my end," she reported, her voice even less than a whisper as I spoke. "Their scheduled guard rotation went off at the same time today."

"Understood, Yamanaka is on her was to switch out with you," he replied. "Codeword is Sanguine."

"Understood, sanguine," I replied, mentally cross checking my mental 'code phrase' manual. "I'll give my detailed report when I return."

My sensei was an incredibly paranoid bastard. That entire conversation? It was all in code, China-chan wasn't coming to relieve me at all as she was positioned in the north while sanguine is the codeword for 'unknown spotted on the eastern side'.

Subtly adjusting myself I was very thankful that I have yet to go through puberty, because sitting here just watching and noting every little thing that was going on in the bandit camp below was difficult enough. I was nowhere near ready to do it while on my period.

Just that thought alone was enough to send minute shudders down my spine as I raised my non-reflective binoculars to my eyes and scanned the eastern side of the camp, spotting the unknown my sensei reported on from his position on the opposite side of the camp from me.
