A Kunoichi's Burden
Ch 1: Insulting
"You girls are so weak. Why do you even bother being ninja? Kunoichi are a disgrace to their nations." mocked a 17 year old Neji.
"The only thing a ninja does is fight, and you're all too weak to fight." Kiba smirked.
"All you care about is your appearance and stalking people who don't even like you. All women, especially kunoichi, are just weak and insane." Shikamaru mumbled.
"You don't work as hard either, you're always slacking off. You let you're emotions slow you down and hold you back." Chouji said.
"We all know you're never going to be good enough to keep up with us, so why don't you just quit?" Sasuke said as the other guys nodded or looked impassive at the girls, excluding Lee and Naruto who just stared at their feet.
"You're wrong." Hinata whispered sadly.
"You have no idea…" Ino said a little louder, but just as sad as Hinata.
"You all just sound so stupid, talking like you know everything." Tenten said looking at each of them straight in the eye, her eyes showing nothing.
"It's really sad that you know absolutely nothing, but make these assumptions anyway." Sakura said, her eyes like Tenten's, emotionless. She then turned to her teammates, "At least my power is my own. I don't borrow power from demons and seals." She said as she did a hand seal and disappeared in a whirlwind of flames. The boys were shocked, though they didn't all show it.
"You all block out your emotions and then call yourselves strong, it's sad." Hinata said as she too made a hand sign and disappeared in a whirlwind of water.
"You make fun of those who are able to face their emotions and still remain sane. It's pitiful." Tenten spat as she did a sign and vines from the earth sprouted up and swallowed her.
"You have no idea…" Ino said, louder than last time, but this time she said it out of anger and not sadness. Then she made a hand sign and started to fade, the wind picking up around them, "A kunoichi is more than a ninja. You have no idea what a kunoichi even is." They heard Ino's voice whisper with the wind.
After a moment the guys just scoffed.
"Pathetic, so they leaned a new jutsu. Big deal." Sasuke said and turned to walk away.
"Hn." Neji said.
"Troublesome, they'll probably try to leave the village to get power, like the Uchiha did. Then we'll just have to go and get them." Shikamaru sighed and turned to follow Neji & Sasuke.
"They're too weak too even leave the village. They're weak, not stupid. They know they wouldn't last a minute out there without us to cover their backs." Naruto said following.
"That's why they've never had a mission without us." Kiba laughed. The rest followed murmuring and laughing the same.
