Hinata started down the road towards the centre of town. Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi headed for the farms and Sakura stayed at the Inn. The pink haired Kunoichi had quickly gotten a job as a waitress at the Inn but wasn’t due to start work until the next day so she had decided to ready the group’s picnic and spy proof their rooms while everyone else searched for jobs.

Hinata stopped in front of an old book store. She glanced inside the window and saw stacks of books and scrolls scattered everywhere. There seemed to be a lot of history books. Hinata wrapped her hand around the door handle and before thinking entered the small little shop. She stared at the rows or disorganized books and papers even if they weren’t organized Hinata could tell this shop had a great deal of variety. She wandered down an aisle. Her hand softly ran over the spine of one of the book ‘Silent tears ’

“That’s an excellent book have you read it Miss?” Came an aged but kind voice.

Hinata shook her head then paused stroking the books spine again “I think my mother read it to me when I was little. It‘s about a girl who wants to be a dancer.”

“Yes. Yes. I have similar books if you’re interested”

Hinata shook her head “I-I should be going”

“Oh? Where to young one? Excuse me for prying but this old woman just gets so lonely sometimes”

Hinata smiled “No it’s ok. I just need to find a job”

“Well can you read?” The old woman walked toward Hinata. Hinata gasped inwardly. The woman’s hair was a pale silver and her eyes a startling blue. She walked with a courtesan’s grace. Only the faint lines beneath her eyes and around her mouth betrayed her age.

Hinata nodded. The woman smiled cupping Hinata’s chin and staring into the girls white eyes. “You have very special eyes. I bet they see so much better then these old ones.” The woman let her hand fall away but not before Hinata caught sight of the woman’s calloused palm and fingers. “Well if you’re willing to deal with an old woman’s ramblings I’ll let you be my assistant”

Hinata looked around at the shop with wide eyes. “When would you want me to start Miss…?”
The woman smiled “most around here just call me Silf. May I ask your name in return?”

“Hinata Hun”

The woman nodded and stared out her shop’s window “It’s too nice to have you start today; everyone in town is probably out in the field. Come back at 10 tomorrow and bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty”

Hinata smiled and turned to leave “good -bye Silf-san” She felt a book being placed in her hand. The one she had been admiring.

“A small gift for my new employee. Now get going, the day should not be wasted by the youthful!”

Hinata walked out the door tucking the book in her jacket.
