"'Here lies (y/n) (y/sn)' Tragic" you turned over to the cat at your side, "a bit over the top don't you think?".
The black cat stared up with its usual bored expression. "You were gone for more than a year. They only found your arm. What did you expect?" he huffed, his tail tapping the ground. You rolled your eyes, not that the cat could see that. Both of your eyes were covered.
Since you woke up people had been staring oddly at you, with this blindfold they didn't. "It's still a bit over the top. They didn't find my body. Just my arm" you mused glancing back over the grave.

A bouquet of forget-me-nots laid upon the headstone, still fresh. A smile crept on your rosy lips while your hand reached out and took the flowers. "It's disrespectful to take from a grave" the cat stated.
"It's my grave, my flowers" you retorted and sniffed the flowers. "Let's pay a visit to the Hokage, I hope he still remembers me though" you murmured, putting the flowers back on the headstone and strolled out of the graveyard. While passing a grave, also with fresh flowers you gave a quick nod and a small smile. "Nice to see you again" you whispered.

The cat looked at you, at the headstone and back. "Who lays there?" he questioned curiously.
"Don't know. I just know I know her" you said a bit hesistant.
"Your memories are fogged up from the revival. Master told me you wouldn't be able to remember anything. It's a miracle you knew his name" the cat snorted.
"And I'm glad he is a pretty wide known ninja" your hand reached up and clasped the headband bound to your upper arm, "and that I still had my headband. I wonder why I didn't wear it over my eyes from the start though".
"Probably cause you didn't give two shits about other's opinions" the cat laughed.
"I did?"
"Pretty much, you are just self-conscious now you don't know where to go or what to do. Even the word hokage is something you learned just recently" the cat mocked.

A growl left your lips and with a swift kick the cat flew a few meters into the air with a yelp. "Hey! I'm just stating the truth!" he snarled crawling back up.
"That doesn't mean you have to say it out loud" you growled passing the confused cat and ignoring the disapproving looks thrown your way. Beneath the blindfold your eyes closed and a tired sigh escaped your lips. With or without blindfold, attention seemed to be the only thing you achieved without a sweat. Looking over your shoulder you nodded to the black cat. He smirked and gave a nod back before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Kuro had helped you to get to the leaf village by tracking the scent of some leaf ninja in the perimeter. He deserved a break after a week full of traveling.

With long, reluctant strides you went on the stairs. Darting out of the way as some people with documents or other stuff passed. They gave you a mere look over before continuing on their business. As a not particularly tall or muscled kunoichi you looked as intimidating as a puppy. Not that you couldn't change their minds. It was just favourable to be underestimated.

By listening to conversations and looking at the titles on the doors for a full hour in the hokage building you finally stumbled upon the word Office on a door. A small smile formed on your lips at the thought of seeing someone that could know you. But that went together with a dreadful bubbling in your stomach, the fear of not being recognized.

After three short knocks you pulled the blindfold off and opened your snow white eyes. An old, yet gentle voice called. "Come in". Not giving yourself the chance to rethink your strategy, you entered the office with a small smile.

The old man behind the oak desk looked up, a quartet of wrinkles deepening on each side of his eyes. His rhombus shaped hat with the sign for hogake on the front corner lowered over his eyes as he eyed you with suspicion. He seemed to think about his next move. The dreadful feeling began to rise up at the fact he didn't smile. "How can I help you?"

His voice cut through the air and had you blink in surprise. Sheepishly you rubbed the back of your head. "I'm sorry if I'm disturbing or something. I kinda lost my memories and I have a headband of the leaf village around my arm. I was wondering if you would know me" you said, embarrassed at the state you were in. This made you seem weak though, having no memories could be used to the opponent advantage. Right now though, you didn't care. It had been 2 months since you woke up and you were done with not knowing anything.

The eyes of the old man widened slightly, his hands folded over each other for his head to lean on. "Do you know your name?" he questioned. His eyes seemed unreadable to the normal person, however with your eyes you saw the test hidden in that question.
"(y/n) (y/sn) I saw my grave not too long ago... My summon told me that they buried my arm" you said and lifted your right arm which seemed bleaker than the rest of your body. The sleeve which covered your right arm was ripped off on your left, rather, cut clean off.

The hands of the old man began to tremble lightly, barely noticable, as he stood from his chair and walked over to you. You took a step back by instinct, muscles tensing at his approach. He stopped just outside your personal space and looked straight into your eyes. His stern, wise gaze softened, "(y/n)... I have to ask of you to remove your glove" he whispered. Surprise flooded you together with hope, maybe it will give him a hint of who you were. You removed your only gloved hand, revealing the V shape on the back of your hand. The corner of it covered the knuckle of your middle finger.

The tattoo had confused you ever since you saw it. Out of likes and dislikes you knew asymmetry wasn't something you liked enough to put it into a tattoo. Also, a V? What does that even mean?

The choal eyes of the Hokage watered. "A miracle has brought you back" he whispered and looked up at you, "welcome home (y/n)" he spoke with a fatherly smile.

You blinked, twice, "Home?"
He nodded and shuffled back to his desk. "(y/n) do you remember anything at all? Otherwise we need to catch you up on a lot" he said seriously but the smile still on his face.
"All I know is my name and the name Hatake Kakashi. No clue who it is though" you sighed, shuffling on your feet.
"I will call him. I am sure he is more than happy to see you".
Your head snapped up, "he's here too? Also in leaf?"
The hokage nodded.
A smile formed on your lips and your heart skipped a beat. A huge weight fell of your shoulders. Who knew that visiting the hokage would lead to all kinds of leads from your past!

The hokage motioned towards a chair in front of his desk, "take a seat. He is still busy with his students but I will get someone to fetch him" he smiled. You nodded and took a seat, your legs closed and your muscles still a bit stiff. Even thought the old man made you feel comfortable, your instincts didn't allow you to relax. Your white eyes followed the movements of the old man as he wrote a document and called for someone. Your head snapped to the right before the shinobi even appeared and bowed to the hokage. "Bring this to Kakashi" he said with a gentle smile. "Yes, my lord" the Shinobi answered pledge fully and took the note. He spared you a curious glance and a shocked expression before disappearing in a puff of smoke. With question marks in your eyes you looked at the hokage. He chuckled, "he knew you, just not that well".
"What's his name?"
"Izumo Kamizuki".
You pondered over the name for a long time, hoping to spark something in your memory but nothing came to mind. With a defeated sigh you hung your head and crossed your arms.
