Whaddup guys! This is my little side story I wrote to make up for my week of exams.
Team Jiraiya
A young ninja was panting, there were weapons scattered all over the ground. Her opponent was also on the ground, the one on the ground had dusty and dirty clothes. His brown hair was untidy and his face was all sweaty. "The winner is Senju Kayoko!"
"Huh? You're a chunin now Yoko?" Kushina asked.
"Yep just passed the exams." Minato told her.
"Hey now." Kayoko said.
"Suge! Congratulations dattebane!" Kushina cheered.
"Un. . ." Kayoko agreed.
"What's wrong Kayoko?" Minato asked her.
"I'm just a little down is all." she answered and smiled. "I'm glad I have comrades like you."
"Cheer up, Yoko!" Kushina put her hand on her shoulder.
"Kushina. . ."
"We're gonna celebrate with ramen, 'ttbane!" Kushina yelled and ran ahead at full speed.
"Ah! Matte yo, Kushina!" Kayoko ran after her. "Minato don't just stand there!"
"H-hai!" he said and followed.
Later the three of them sat down and ate ramen together. "Just why did this wimp have to come along?!" Kushina asked.
"Ehehe. . ." Minato sweated.
"Give Minato some credit he's still getting better as a ninja." Kayoko said.
"Hmph, fine!" Kushina grumbled with her cheeks all puffed out.
"I'm aiming to become the Hokage so I'm working very hard on my ninjutsu." Minato told Kushina.
"I say meh to that. Everyone knows I'm gonna be the next Hokage, dattebane!" Kushina proclaimed.
"Uh, you guys do know that I'm the closest to becoming Hokage right?" Kayoko joked.
"Tch!" someone else said.
"Huh?" the three of them looked at a guy sitting by himself. "You kids boast about becoming the Hokage but you have no idea what that actually means do you? It isn't just something given to you by passing an exam. You have to train day after day for even a chance to become Hokage!" he said.
"Oi, d'you know this guy?" Kushina whispered. Kayoko slurped her noodles.
"He's just the dude I beat in the chunin exams." she answered. "Don't worry about that sore loser he's just mad that I outmatched him in the tournament." she said.
He slammed his fist on the table, "I'm Senju Nojirama, you've got some nerve you were just a genin a couple days ago!" he said.
"And guess who's still a genin now. Wuss!" she stuck her tongue at him.
"Kayoko!" Minato said worried.
"Shut up you brat!" Nojirama stood up out of his seat pointing at her. "I'm good at shurikenjutsu, water nature transformation, a-and medical ninjutsu!" he said.
"Medical ninjutsu?" Kayoko repeated. She drank her soup and put her bowl down. She faced Nojirama resting her head on her hand. "Medical ninjas are just pansies with no purpose as a ninja!" she said with a smug grin.
Nojirama clenched his fist and Kayoko was pulled off her seat. Her feet were just above the ground. "Yoko!" Kushina said.
Nojirama had Kayoko's jacket in his fist. "Oi Kayoko, just apologize to him!" Minato said.
"You'd better listen to your friend if you don't want to lose your teeth!" Nojirama said he raised his fist.
"Kora teme!" Kushina yelled at him.
"I don't care if you're a lil girl! You'd better take back what you said!" he growled.
"Hah! Ba~ka!" Kayoko insulted. They all heard a 'Bang!' noise and Kayoko landed on the ground.
"Kayoko!" Minato and Kushina ran to her. Her head was tilted down a little. "Daijobu?" Kushina asked her. Nojirama walked away angry. "Little jerk! Was she really that ignorant?" he thought. When he left Kayoko spit blood out onto the path.
Later they were walking together and dusk came. "Well I'll see you later, 'ttebane. Ja ne!" Kushina said and left.
"Ja ne!" Kayoko waved.
"So tomorrow I guess we'll restart our missions with Jiraiya Sensei." Minato said to Kayoko.
"Yeah, that's if he isn't busy peeping in the hot springs!" Kayoko said with her arms crossed behind her back.
"I'm sure Sensei will be there for us." Minato said.
"Tch! That's only cuz you're the teacher's pet!" Kayoko rubbed his spiky hair. She was tall for her age making Minato shorter than her. They parted ways. At night Kayoko was sleeping, she happened to lived alone.
! She snapped her eyes open and gasped. She jumped out of her bed not bothering to change and just grabbed her headband. She rushed as she tied it around her forehead and put her ninja sandals on. "Kuso!" she thought and ran to Kushina's house.
She kicked down the door and looked around. "Just as I thought she's not here." she thought.
Minato was also asleep, Kayoko jumped in front of his window. "Minato! Minato teba!" she knocked on the glass. She growled and grasped her fist in her palm. She brought her arms back and then broke through the glass with her elbow.
She scared Minato awake. "Kayoko! Why'd you break my window?" he rubbed his eye.
"We're running out of time. Kushina's in trouble hurry up and get ready. I think we're about to start a war." she said. She put her hands together and transformed into her ninja gear.
Minato got dressed and ran with her they stopped by another house. "You two what are you doing here?" a person their age asked at the door.
"Kyo, we need your help." Minato said. They had their team together and they were running late at night when the crickets were chirping.
"So what's going on?" Kyo asked.
"Just a while ago I sensed Kushina's chakra flare in a panic sort of way. When I got to her house she wasn't there." Kayoko explained. "I'm sure she was kidnapped." she said.
"How did you sense her chakra?" Minato asked.
"I'm a sensor type ninja. I can feel the presence of chakra." Kayoko answered.
"But even if you can sense chakra how did it wake you up and how did you identify it as Kushina's?" Kyo asked her.
"Kushina's chakra is special. Whenever I sense her chakra I immediately recognize it because I've never met anyone else with chakra like hers. And it felt different, her chakra just kind of jumped you know? It's like using all of your strength to get free." she explained.
"Then how come we don't get Jiraiya Sensei?" Minato asked.
"He's out of town." Kayoko said.
"Ehhhh!?" her teammates exclaimed.
"Yeah, he snuck out of Konoha to write his novel. And I forgot where exactly he went so there's no time to go get him before they take Kushina away!" Kayoko said. "It's just the three of us we're a team and we have to save our nakama!" she proclaimed and they jumped into the forest.
They jumped through the trees. "Then what do we do?" Minato asked.
"We follow Kushina's chakra and get her back safely to the village. Ideally the Anbu will notice she's missing in a matter of minutes from now and they'll be able to help by that time." Kayoko said.
"Who made you leader?" Kyo asked.
The team stopped on the tree branch. "I'm the strongest, I'm chunin, I'm the leader! And it was me who noticed that Kushina's in trouble so I run the show!" Kayoko said.
Kyo didn't like her statement and Minato tried mediating. "Well she's got a point Kayoko was the only one who was able to pass the chunin shiken and Jiraiya's Sensei's not here we're the only ones who know about this situation." he said.
"Fine only this once!" Kyo said and they kept moving. They saw Kumogakure shinobi scouting in the trees. Kyo kicked one down to the ground. Kayoko saw one too and stabbed two kunais into the back of his shoulders.
More ninjas jumped down armed with weapons. "Kuso! Many are there!?" Kayoko thought looking around. She pulled out her knives and stood up.
"There's too many. Hey leader what's the plan!?" Kyo asked.
"Minato! Go save Kushina!" Kayoko shouted.
"Eh?" Minato said surprised.
"You wanna be Hokage right? You can start by saving our nakama. You can do it." she said.
"Arigato, you guys." Minato thanked his team. He jumped into the trees. One of the Kumo ninjas tried jumping after him but Kyo kicked him down by the head.
"Hold it you're ours." he said.
"As your leader I'm telling you to beat the crap out of these imbeciles!" Kayoko told him.
"Gotcha." he said with a smirk.
