Shinobi Falls

I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!

…...

It was a quiet day in Konohagakure...or it was until people saw their beloved Hokage monument being desecrated-

BOOM!

Oh, boy. We really wen too far this time. Admitted a whiskered orange-wearing blonde- But enough about him, he's old news.

Were here to talk about his partner in crime...Mabel Pines. She giggled as she ran with her friend away from the angry mob. "See you later Naruto!" Shouts Mabel as they split up.

The mob is briefly disoriented, but one look at the mountain showing their beloved Kages defiling each other in a naked orgy is enough to stiffen their resolve to press on...

…...

The Hokage Sarutobi merely groaned at the sight. So much paperwork... He bemoaned to himself. He quickly shakes his head of such thoughts. He had to focus on team assignments. He looked over to the usual Jonin; Kakashi, Kurenia, Gai, Asuma and Anko...but also one newcomer Chunin. A girl named Wendy Corduroy.

For a long time she'd been categorized as 'Brilliant but Lazy'. She had great skill and potential...but lacked the ambition to do anything beyond genin. Recently however, that had changed. She was pushing herself more. For the first time ever, she made an attempt at getting a promotion...and won with flying colors.

And I have a good suspicion why that is. Thought Sarutobi with a smirk. But he kept this thought silent as said girl approached him.

She bowed respectively. "Hokage-sama; I have a list here of several dozen random combinations of genin teams that I'd be happy to mentor. I'm not inflexible, so I'll go with whichever one you pick without complaint."

Sarutobi looked over the list with interest. Meanwhile, Wendy crossed her fingers. Don't comment on it, don't comment on it. She pleads inwardly.

Sarutobi smirked. "I can't help but notice that all these 'random' teams all have one thing in common...namely a certain Pines boy."

Wendy groans as the jonin behind her start to snicker. "Oh! Trying to get more access to your boy-toy Wendy-chan?" Teased Anko.

Wendy went scarlet. "I-it's not like that! Look, I'm the one who started him as a shinobi...I just want to make sure he's safe! Is that so wrong?" She asked.

The other Jonin just gave knowing smirks. Thanks to Anko they(and most of the village) knew the story. Pretty nice romantic setup: Wendy hated work, but liked working with little kids. So she spent most of her work hours at the orphanage.

She was well liked there...but none loved her more than Dipper did. Before Wendy started working there, he'd been teased and bullied mercilessly. Wendy swiftly(and if the rumors were to believed, rather 'brutally') put a stop to that.

After that they became very close friends. Seeing he was brilliant but shy. Wendy tried to get him out of his shell with games of Checkers, Chess, Go, Xiangqi, Shogi, and Janggi!

At first Dipper was too nervous to attempt it. So Wendy promised that if he beat her at all these games...she'd do one thing that he wanted. After that Dipper threw himself into the games with zeal...which lead to the following-

…...

"Wow, I'm impressed Dipper! We've only been doing this for a couple of days and you've already beaten me at all of them! Your a natural!"

The 11 year-old blushed. "T-thanks Wendy." He stammered. Wendy smiled. "Alright Dipper, deals a deal. Name it and I'll do it."

Dipper turned even more red...but after a moment's hesitation...he muttered something under his breath. Wendy frowned. "I'm sorry Dipper...what was that? You'll have to speak up."

Dipper took a deep breath, then stared Wendy directly in the eye's..."I want to be your boyfriend." He said with conviction.

There was a long, awkward silence- BA! HA! HA! HA! -Which was broken by Anko. "Sorry, sorry(snort)...remembered a funny joke." She lied lamely.

Meanwhile, Wendy was in full panic mode. Dipper was a nice kid, her best friend really(which was kinda sad if you thought about it)...But he was way too young!...On the other hand not only did she make a promise...she was well aware of Dipper's crippling self-esteem issues...she could never live with herself if she hurt his feelings!

This train of thought is of course what led to her making what was now considered throughout the village, 'the worst idea ever'. Before she realized what she was doing, she was weaving a BS yarn about a law that forbid shinobi's from dating anyone except shinobi's of the same rank.

"Huh, strange...I can't say I recall ever hearing that rule." Teased Anko trying hard not to laugh. Wendy glared. "It's a new law." She stated irritably.

"Oh...gotcha!...Wait, I think I remember it now!...didn't I hear it the same time you promised to buy me all those dangos?" She asked slyly. Wendy forced a smile. "Yes."...

…...

Anko laughed. "It was a pretty okay plan you thought up: Tell boy he needs to be a shinobi to be with girl, boy gets frustrated by how difficult it is to graduate and quits like most do, boy goes back to being 'just a friend' with girl...Too bad the exact opposite happened!" She teased.

Wendy groaned. She didn't understand what had happened! She'd gone over Dipper's grades. First couple of months he'd been struggling! It really looked like he might quit! Then- BOOM! Out of nowhere, he climbs up to top of his class, rookie of the year! Even beating that Sasuke kid!(how was that even possible? He was twice Dippers size!)

"I find it curious how around the time he started doing great; you do a sudden full '180' on your thought about getting promotion and go for it...delaying the inevitable are we?" Teased Kakashi.

Before a flustered Wendy can even respond Gai sweeps her aside. "My dear girl your love for the boy is youthful...but your lie is not."

Kurenai sighs. "Weird as it is, I agree with Gai. Your toying with that poor boys feelings, this won't end well at all."

Wendy groaned. "Look I appreciate the advice...But I will handle this okay? I will think of a way to get through this with our friendship intact and his feelings unhurt!...I just I need more time is all"...

The jonin just rolled their eyes. The old kage just shook his head amused. Ah to be young, foolhardy, and believing yourself invincible...those were simpler days indeed. Nonetheless, he agreed to a team consisting of Dipper, his sister and that Northwest girl. Oh, well. She'll learn...for better or for worse, she'll learn...

…...

Dipper leaped out of the academy excited. He passed! He was a Genin! I'm one step closer to being with Wendy-chan...and I owe it all to you! Thinks Dipper as looks down lovingly at the mysterious journal he discovered over a year ago...

…...

TO BE CONTINUED?

AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.

But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?

Love me, flame me, review me
