"Why do we have to go though?! We're the strongest team in the village, we should be staying here to protect it, not taking some stupid collaboration mission! Don't you think so too, Genuri?"
"Look Tedori, currently we are the strongest team in the village, but that's only because the all jonin or chunin teams are out fighting. This mission is important, and there are still other genin and a few chunin still left if we leave!"
"Both of you shut up!" Karina shouts. "I'm team leader and I say that we're going on this mission, so shut up Tedori! This is an important mission and a good idea, so of course we're being sent, we are the current strongest team and we have to make a good impression, okay? Now no more complaining!"
Karina was red in the face and yelling by now, and Tedori had turned her head away to try and tune the lecture out.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Now put your stupid new headband on and let's go already then!"
Genuri smiled. After some on Lord Bee's team, Tedori was the most annoying ninja in the Hidden Cloud to ever exist. Although, like she had said, since they were team Z, they were the last alphabet team in the village and therefore the strongest. They had been chosen to represent the Hidden Cloud village in a collaborative mission by all five villages in the Shinobi Alliance. Each village was sending one team that had been left behind to help guard the village during the war.
But problems had arisen outside the villages that needed dealing with, and since each village had left behind at least four team made up of genin and chunin, it was decided that each village would send one team. That's right, Genuri thought, we have to be on our best behavior. He turned to look at his squabbling teammates. I just hope none of the other teams have anyone who also wanted to fight in the war…
"Bani! Kirano! Where the hell have you been!? We got a mission!", Tanero shouted. She jumped off the wall above Bani's head and did a perfect flip, landing on the lake below with barely a sound. She turned on her teammates and smiled.
"Look alive you idiots! We get to leave and go fight some evil jerks! Doesn't that make you excited?" Kirano looked at Bani, shrugging. "A mission would be fun," he said nervously. "Maybe I could get some more experience."
Bani smiled at him. "That's the spirit! Now, I'm assuming that I'm team leader, yeah?" Tanero sighed. "Yes, you annoying fool, you are, now let me brief you about the mission already, we gotta go like now!"
The three ninja took off running across the lake toward the village, where they would receive a new headband for their leader and more mission info. As they ran, Kirano started wondering what kind of mission this would turn out to be...
"Karin! Have you seen Benri?" Karin turned, watching Renno skid to a stop in front of her. " Haven't seen him since the briefing. You know how he gets all moody, he'll be here soon." "It's not that," Renno panted.
"I think he went to try and change himself to mission leader. He took my headband!" Karin sighed. "That idiot. What are we gonna do with-" "Have no fear!", a voice shouted, "I am here now to lead you blundering fools to victory!"
A ninja jumped down in front of Karin and Renno, then turned to face them with a crazy grin on his face. "See?" He cried, turning his arm so they could see the new headband on his arm. "I told you I could convince them!" Karin gulped, and Renno groaned.
"Fine, fine, you're the leader of the mission, let's just go! This means you have to talk to the Chunin leaders of the other teams by yourself now, okay?" Renno said. "Well, at least now we're unique." Karin said with a sad smile.
"We're probably the only team that will have a Genin as leader."
