I mentally groaned and gently rubbed my temples. This guy is an idiot.

"There for I need you ninjas to protect me with your pathetic lives." Dr. Something or another said in conclusion.

"And what are you willing to pay for our service?" Pein asked.

"$10,000 a day." He said confidently.

"Make it 15,000 and we have a deal." Pein responded.

"You drive a hard bargain. I'll take it." He said.

"Very well. Deidara, show him to the guest room." Pein ordered.

Deidara nodded and left with Dr. Something or another.

"Echo, how about you go outside for some training or a walk. You have a nasty scowl on your face." Pein said before walking away to finish his paperwork in his office.

I immediately tryed to relax my face and walked to my room to pick up my sword before heading outside.

As I stepped out, the bright sunlight temporarily blinded me. I think I've been in the dark for too long.

I rubbed my temples again as my headache came back twice as bad. So much for feeling better.

I sighed and gave up on trying to rub it away. It wasn't going anywhere.

Slowly, I started to walk though the quiet forest. The nature was absolutely breath taking today. You could hear the the soft caws of birds, the blowing wind, and also a gentle stream gurgling somewhere near by.

Perfect. My headache even lessens a bit. That is, until a kunai whizzed just past my head and I heard someone say "About time, Echo."

Looks like everybody's out to anger me today.
