10. The Arrival of the Four Jonin Leaders –
The twelve ninjas arrived back at their village an hour after they departed from the Fruit Village. They rushed back to the entrance of their school and showed Iruka the golden apple they received.
"I heard the news," said Iruka with a large smile. "You guys saved the village from Ryouma!"
The twelve started to tell her the story of how everything happened, and the reason it took so long. In the end, Iruka placed the golden apple on a shelf next to his desk, showing it off like a trophy.
"You all have had enough for now," Iruka said. "Go home and rest and come back here about noon. I have a surprise."
The twelve left with tired expressions. Iruka then sat back in his desk in the darkness. Four figures with Cupcake headbands on their foreheads appeared out of the darkness.
"So those were the ninjas we've been assigned," said a man. "They look weak."
"You shouldn't say that!" yelled another voice.
"Here are the folders of the ninjas you have been assigned," said Iruka. "They're my evaluations. You should read through them and they are not weak. As Jonins, you should know that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover." He handed each person three folders and left the room. The four each took their folders and returned to their homes.
The first Jonin was Atsuya Kyuuka. He often wore green vest over a red shirt with a flame in the center and had explosive tags on his shoulders. He also wore fingerless gloves that matched his shirt and had spiky crimson hair that grew forward and slightly curved downward. At home, he lied back down on his bed and opened the first folder belonging to Kakashi Itonami.
Kakashi's showed him wearing a plain white shirt with a dark blue shirt's collar showing on the outside. He had large, spiky hair that was naturally that way. He wore his headband around his right shoulder. The information read: Kakashi is good student that can't talk in front of the class, but can talk fine in the middle of it. He is incredibly clumsy and lacks confidence, but is still one of the better ninjas.
The second folder he opened belonged to Shizu Seijou. Shizu's picture showed her in her usual clothing. She wore a light blue jacket over a white shirt underneath. She normally let her black hair grow to at about her neck and wore her headband on her waist by having it hanging out of her right pocket. The information read: Shizu is a hard worker when it's something she is greatly interested in, but can be very lazy in things she finds uninteresting. She also has an obsession over pretty Asian men and has pictures of them all over the outside and inside her binders.
The last folder belonged to Tetsuma Ayuta. Tetsuma's picture showed him wearing a black vest that turned darker at the collar. Underneath was a gray, long-sleeved shirt, while he has his headband around his left shoulder. He had his dark hair somewhat messy since he never combed it. The information read: Tetsuma is a perfectionist, partly due to the fact that he is a genius, and is extremely afraid of failure. He also lacks trust in his teammates. For some reason, he hates gift-giving holidays. He is one of the fastest runners I have ever seen.
The second Jonin was Tadohiro Aki. He often wore the same green vest as Atsuya, since it was required, but had a green shirt underneath that has a picture of a leaf on it. He had light brown hair tinted lightly in a soft orange. His bangs slightly covered one eye and his hair was spiky at the end. He was sitting at his desk and next to him, on the ground, was his three puppets. Their names were Ta, Do, and Hiro. They were all similar looking humanoid-like puppets, but all had their differences. Ta had six eyes, Da had six arms, and Hiro had six horns. His paled green eyes gazed lightly over the first folder he grabbed. It belonged to Musashi Shinmiri.
Musashi's picture showed him wearing a black, long-sleeved sweater with the number 81 on the front. He has his headband around his right wrist. He had messy, dark hair that often covered his forehead and sometimes went into his eyes. The information said: Musashi is a sarcastic person that sometimes comes off as being mean, when he really isn't. He's the talkative one out of the Musashi-Maasaki duo. He also has shiny fingernails that Shizu likes to make fun of, since they look like there is clear nail gloss.
The second folder belonged to Maasaki Nagoyaka. Maasaki's picture showed him with his dark glasses covering his eyes and with his dark hair spiked up in the front. He wore a gray jacket over his black shirt and had often wore long black pants all of the time. He had his headband on his left wrist. The information read: Maasaki barely talks, mostly because he is thinking all of the time, unless he has something important and there weren't many important things to say in my class. He is the second half of the Musashi-Maasaki duo.
The last folder belonged to Reiko Kanashimi. Reiko's picture showed her in a dark purple jacket that covered a lighter purple shirt underneath. She normally let her hair grow out long, sometimes to her waist and wore the headband on the back of her hair. The information read: Reiko was always a quiet girl like Maasaki, but does laugh often. I assumed that Maasaki rubbed off on her since they go to the same orphanage. She gets the things she needs to do done quickly, but rushing is not always a good thing.
The third Jonin was Chisato Fuyu. She lifted her headband from her face a bit. Chisato released her dark blue hair from the confinements of the thin ribbon. She wore an oriental-like outfit that had a snowflake charm to the left, near her neck. She smoothed her skirt under her before looking through the folders. She slowly opened her eyes, revealing cold sapphire eyes, allowing them to register to the light. She opened the first folder and it belonged to Hayoto Yukai.
Hayoto's picture showed him with his short black hair with his ferret, Kasshoku on the top of his head. His headband was on his forehead, and his long bands sometimes covered it. He wore a jacket that had varying shades of blue on it and wore a black shirt underneath. The information read: Hayoto is one of the nicest people you will ever meet in your lifetime, even though he had his life messed up when his brother died and he had to move to the Cupcake village. He works hard and never insults anyone unless you insult his friends. One of the few good people left in the world.
The second folder belonged to Daichi Souzoushii. Daichi's picture showed him wearing his brown jacket with yellow lightning bolts on each side of the jacket. He had messy black hair that stood up since it was spiky. He also had his headband on his forehead, just like Hayoto. The information read: Daichi is a good person, but he talks all of the time. He looks happy nearly all of the time, but he also has a broken childhood, like many of his classmates. He was abused as a child, but he still managed to put on a fake smile at school. It's a good thing that he now stays with his aunt and uncle.
The last folder belonged to Chouko Ayuta. Chouko's picture showed her wearing a black-bluish colored jacket with a large black collar. She had her hair short at the time of the picture, but sometimes grows it long depending on her mood. Her headband was on her forehead, underneath her long bangs. The information read: Chouko, like her brother, is also a genius. Those two are some of the smartest people I have ever met. She works hard and is always prepared to answer my questions in class. She is a caring person who will always help those in need, unless it's in the morning since she's not a morning person.
The fourth Jonin was Tatsumi Haru. When she arrived, home, she opened the door to her sister's room. She noticed that she was still sleeping so she decided not to disturb her. Tatsumi went to her room. She lied on her bed and moved her long pink hair that was somewhat covering her eyes and fixed the pink daisy in her hair. She started at a picture frame that was on the dresser next to her bed. The picture inside was of her husband, Shinji Haru, who went missing on a mission. She was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and a magenta-colored skirt. She picked up the first folder of the pile. It belonged to Genta Kigurou.
Genta's picture showed Genta wearing his black jacket that had red and blue stripes on the sleeves and shoulders. He had short brown hair and had his headband on his forehead. His pants were really long and scrunched up at his ankles. The information read: Genta is a good person that likes adorable things. He will help anything in need, but doesn't know when he is pissing someone off.
Tatsumi picked up the second folder and her hazel eyes noticed the name.
"Marumi Akarui!" she yelled. It was her sister. "This is great. Now I have to put up with her outside of home too." She was angry, but decided to read the folder anyway.
The picture showed Marumi wearing her green sweater that said "BLUE" on it. Her brownish-orange hair reached her neck and around her neck was her headband. She often wore blue guy jeans. The information read: Marumi is an extremely happy and optimistic person that is also incredibly generous. She is often perky and energetic. Marumi also has a sippy cup that I used to make fun of, but now I don't because she might kill me.
Tatsumi put down her sister's folder and picked up the last one. It belonged to Jin Mijikai. His picture showed him with his brownish-blond hair covering his eyes and wearing his brown shirt with the word "JAM" on it. He had his headband underneath his bangs, on his forehead. The information read: Jin is a smart person, but he is really lazy. He tries to make things right, but this characteristic can come off as bossy, but he has good intentions.
The four Jonins all closed their folders and the same thought went through their heads. "This is going to be interesting."
