1. Scene 1: The Question of the Hour

Coming to You Live

"We join 'Tactless' Tessie McGuther as she travels to—" the narrator of the story began grandly.

"I'm not tactless!" Tessie interrupted indignantly.

"Oh, pardon me—ahem!—We join Tessie McGuther, ace reporter extraordinaire, as she travels to Konohagakure Village to answer that burning question: What makes a ninja a ninja?" the narrator said.

"Thank you, Mr. Narrator. I am coming to you live from that jewel of the Land of Tree and Leaf, the Village Hidden in the Leaves! And what a beautiful little village it is." Tessie angled her video camera to take in the streets where ninja were walking. "It is here that I will attempt to answer that very question—what is it that makes a ninja? Their secret thoughts? Their speed, agility, or strength? Their mysterious arts? Their will? Maybe all of these, maybe none, are the correct answer—but I'm not the right one to ask. That's why I'm here: to get the answer straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I'm going to ask the ninja themselves!"
