1. A Leaf Forehead Protector

Naruto: Contention

It was a warm day in the Fire Country. The wind blew slightly causing a nice, delightful, comfortable feeling among the faces of the Leaf Chuunins that were on their way back to Konoha from a mission to the Hidden Grass Village. The team consisted of Satori, Azumi, Katianna and Taku. The four Chuunins stopped next to a river to fill up their canteens. A medium sized waterfall was only feet away. The four were taking their time, drinking water and enjoying the scenery. However, something else was on the mind of the team leader, Satori. He was still thinking about the death of his friend Ronin. On his last mission, he, Tenten, Kakashi, Shuji, Tsuku and Ronin went to rescue Neji, Hinata, Hanako and Arihiro. A battle ensued and Ronin was the only Leaf casualty. Ronin was one of his good friends if not one of his best. They practically grew up together and now after all they've been through he was gone.

"You alright, Satori-kun?" Azumi asked.

"Yeah I'm good." Satori said in an unconvincing tone.

Then the four of them heard something flying through the air. They lowered their bodies and Satori drew his kunai. He threw his own at the incoming object. He heard the metal hitting metal, then heard both objects hit the ground. He cautiously walked over and picked up his kunai. He then walked to the other object and his eyes widened. He picked it up. It was a Leaf forehead protector.

"Oh damn."
