Team 3 and their jounin sensei were on a mission, a very boring mission that they would soon love to hate-finding the missing cat Tora. Hikari, after summoning her personal kitsune, had activated her Kage bunshin to spread out throughout Konoha, and had each of them activate their bloodline, along with Haran, their Byakugen, in order to cover all square miles of Konoha, while Kari was searching left and right for the cat, and Hanabi? Well, she wasn't doing much at all, just running with her squad, giving orders, which no one was listening to anyway. Suddenly, one of Hikari's clones found Tora hiding out in the nearby forested area, and alerted the others by dispelling itself, giving Hikari a flood of information.
'So that's where it is…' "This way! One of my clones just spotted it!" Team 3 immediately regroup, and head in the indicated direction. Hikari then asks a question. "Kari, Haran, why do you dislike your father so much?"
After some thinking, they couldn't find an answer, so they said that they may dislike them to a degree, but they respect them well enough, because they know that being a father 5 or 6 days of the week, and then a mother for the remaining of the week is stressful. It was at this time that they entered the forested area, and split up in order to cover more ground. That was a big mistake for Haran, because as soon as he grabbed Tora, the cat immediately started protesting and scratching.
"YEOW!"
Hikari calmed the cat down by petting it, and it purred.
"Mission accomplished, Hanabi-sensei. We're heading back now."
Sure, after they located Tora twice, they had no complaints, that is, until every other day, the cat would go missing again. Soon, they couldn't really blame the cat, because of its harsh owner, the Daimyo's wife, who was undoubtedly, the reason why Tora ran away so much. However, even though to team 3's dismay, team 4 was assigned the mission to retrieve Tora. Team 3 was assigned a different mission…to paint the Hokage manor. (Which happened to be the Uzumaki household)
After a few hours of coating the manor with paint, the team was exhausted, and they all groaned when Hanabi said that she is going to train them. Hanabi led her team to the forested area.
"All right team, what can you tell me about chakra?"
"Ano, I believe that chakra is the molding of our physical and mental energies." Replied Hikari.
"That's correct. However, despite being able to use your chakra, you lack the proper chakra control, and most likely use too much at a time. I'm here to demonstrate proper chakra control. To do this, we will…"
Team 3 anxiously awaits what their training will be.
"Climb trees."
Everyone on team 3 face vaults.
"How will climbing trees improve our chakra control?" Asked Hikari, as soon as she got up.
"We can already climb trees."
"Incorrect, can you climb trees without using your hands?"
"Huh?"
"Sigh, like this. First you gather the proper amount of chakra to the soles of your feet, apparently the hardest spot in your body to accumulate chakra, then you climb trees, like this."
Hanabi walks up to the tree, plants a foot, then proceeds to walk up the tree.
"That's all that you have to do. If you master this, you'll have a greater mastery of your chakra. You won't be able to just walk up the tree, so get a running start. Use these kunai to mark your position on the tree, before you fall off."
"Okay, this will be easy…"
It was Hikari's birthday that day. She had an idea of what she wanted, some jewelry, but she doubted that she was going to get it, because normally, it had no practical use for a kunoichi.
"Happy birthday, Hikari-chan!" Natsuki had unexpectedly barged into the room, holding a gift wrapped box.
"Is that my present, kaa-san?"
"You bet! Open it."
Hikari opens it, not really expecting jewelry, but she was surprised. There was a pair of arm bracers, a weighted belt, and ankle bracers. Hikari appreciated the gift, even if it wasn't the jewelry that she wanted, and happily set it aside so that she could take a shower. She dressed after showering, and since she knew that Hanabi was on a solo A rank mission for a few days, she dressed casually. It was then that her other kaa-san, Hinata, came in, with a gift wrapped box.
"Happy birthday, hime-chan. Here's your gift."
The gift was a new outfit, so after hugging her mother Hinata, she changed. She wore a fire themed short mini-skirt over some skintight black spandex tights, a blue v-neck shirt with the Uzumaki spiral on the back, an orange half top v-neck, with her genjutsu jewelry set on. She combed and styled her wet hair, tieing it so that she had a braided bang in the front, and a ponytail that's braided at the very tip.
Aiko woke up, and quickly remembered that it was her sisters birthday, knowing that she had her gift under her bed. It was a jewelry set, exactly like her sister wanted. It included a manacle bracelet, a pair of blue and lavender earrings, and a pendent, not unlike her own. She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth, brushed her wet hair, and put on her new outfit that she got on her birthday. It was a sky blue skirt with a white v-neck t shirt. She put on an open orange striped coat with the Uzumaki spiral on the back, and formed two strands of her still wet hair into two braids, and curled the back of her hair to the middle of her back, just barely covering the top of her clan symbol. Then, grabbing her gift, she opened her door to give the gift to her sister.
"Happy birthday, nee-chan!"
"Thank you, imouto-chan. Is that a gift for me?"
"Of course. Open it!"
Hikari unwraps the gift wrapped box to reveal another box. Opening it.
"What?! How could you..how did you?"
"I spent months saving up my 100 ryou allowance per week, so that's how I was able to afford it. As for how I knew, well, you told me like a hundred times. Do you like it?"
"No, I don't like it, I love it! Thanks, imouto-chan."
"Well, put it on!"
"I will."
Ding dong
Right after Hikari puts on her jewelry, the door bell rings. Hikari opens the door, and her team mates, Kari and Haran, were at the door.
"Happy birthday!" They both say in unison, while presenting their gifts.
"Oh this is a surprise. Are those for me?"
"No duh. Open mine first."
Hikari opens Haran's gift first. It was a new pair of sandals, fit for a ninja, yet very stylish, and able to be worn anywhere.
"Thank you, Haran."
Opening Kari's gift next, Hikari was surprised. It was a…brand new belt attachment, complete with lavender kunai holsters used for storing ninja equipment.
"What the? Why this?"
"I couldn't think of anything else. Why? Don't you like it?"
"I like it, a lot. Thanks, Kari."
-Meanwhile-
Hanabi was panting from chakra exhaustion. Her mission was to investigate some ruins in the outskirts of fire country, just before the Valley of the End. The ruins were called The Endless ruins, because these ruins probably stretched forever. Upon entering the ruins, she was attacked by an enemy ninja, who had a scratched sound head band.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Epsilon, the last person that you will ever see!"
The battle was long. Epsilon may have been defeated, but Hanabi had chakra exhaustion, and nearly collapsed.
-Back to Konoha-
Team 3 was confused as to why they were summoned to the Rokudaime's office.
"Your sensei, Hanabi, was found earlier today. She has many fatal wounds, including some broken ribs, an openly bleeding knee cap, and chakra exhaustion, so she will be out of commission for a while. However, since the Chunnin exams are coming up, Hanabi has recommended you three for the exams. The exams start in three days. Here are your release forms. I need them signed and returned by tomorrow."
-Time skip to after the Chunnin exams-
"Congratulations to all who have participated in the exams. It is my pleasure to inform you that all of you have shown tremendous skill. Unfortunately, none of you have been promoted to Chunnin. Better luck next time." Said the Rokudaime, Natsuki. "However, I shall grant some of you a new rank. Only cell three of Konoha will be ranked neo-genin. This means that you are still genin, but stronger then the weakest Chunnin. Therefore, you will be able to take harder missions, like any mission other then S-rank and some A-rank."
It was the Rokudaime's birthday, October the tenth. Her small male side had all but disappeared by now. She was now completely female, with some very faint boyhood memories that were still fading away. (She was still .00000001 percent male before her birthday, but now she is 100 percent female.) She woke up to the crack of dawn.
"Yawn, good morning, my hime-chan."
Hinata, who had been awake for some time, replied, feigning sleep. "Good morning, Natsu-hime, and happy birthday."
"Thanks."
"Hmm, well, my first birthday gift for you will come right after we take a shower together."
"Can't wait."
Together, they went to the shower room and brushed their teeth. Then they took a hot shower. When they were done, they dressed. However, Hinata stopped Natsuki as soon as she put on her orange panties and her red and yellow striped orange bra.
"Your first gift, here you go."
Natsuki, still in her underwear, quickly opened the gift.
"Wow."
In the box was a nicely folded white rope with blue flames on the bottom, and the kanji for Rokudaime on the back, along with a new outfit.
"Hime-chan, you shouldn't have."
Natsuki puts on her new outfit. She puts on a cream colored skirt, with fishnet tights and her new purple ninja sandals, both with the Uzumaki spiral on the back of the sole, and the Hyuga insignia on the outsides and insides of the sole. She wore a black v-neck short sleeve with a strapless orange top that showed a bit of her belly with the Uzumaki spiral on the back. Putting on her new Rokudaime cloak, her wet wavy hair reached the top of the kanji for Rokudaime. Hinata gave her two straight braided bangs in front. Natsuki liked her new look, and hugged Hinata.
"Thank you, hime-chan. I love you."
Hinata returned the embrace. "I love you too, and happy birthday."
This passionate moment was interrupted by their two daughters as they slammed open the door. Natsuki and Hinata didn't even notice, that is, until Hikari coughed.
"Happy birthday, Natsuki kaa-san." Said Hikari, holding up her gift.
"Thank you, Hikari-chan."
Also holding up her gift was Aiko. "Happy birthday."
Aiko's gift was a stunning set of sky blue earrings depicting a flame.
"I think that my mother, the Rokudaime, can have this. Open it." Said an impatient Hikari.
Natsuki opens the gift, and receives a beautiful bracelet, made of gold and encrusted with many valuable things (1 diamond, rubies, crystals, etc) The bottom of the bracelet had some writing, which read Uzumaki. The bracelet was half an inch wide.
"Thank you, Hikari-hime, Aiko-chan."
For the first time in a long time, Natsuki actually showed up at the Hokage tower. (Normally she sends a Kage bunshin) Her secretary, Sakura, remembered that it was her birthday.
"Happy birthday, Hokage-sama. For your gift, I didn't get anything, but heres a consolation gift, no paperwork!"
"What?!"
"Oh by the way, nice dress."
"Thank you, Sakura."
"No problem."
"Well, I'll see you later."
Before Sakura managed to say goodbye, Natsuki activated her Kokugon and disappeared, leaving an afterimage.
Team 3 was meeting today with Hanabi. "All right, neo-genin, we have a mission. It's high C-rank, possibly a B-rank mission. We are to escort the princess back to her home in the Wind Country."
"Hai."
The mission began immediately. Team 3 formed a basic position around the princess. Kari was in front, ready to save the princess. Haran and Hikari were on either side of the princess, with their Byakugen blazing. Hanabi, utterly relaxed, stayed in back.
They were on their journey for no more then an hour when Hikari and Haran both detected someone dead ahead, swiftly moving toward them. Kari didn't sense it yet.
"Kari, there's a shinobi dead ahead, approaching fast. Be on your guard."
Kari activates Sharingan and sees the enemy. Thinking fast, she made some hand seals. "Katon! Ryuka no jutsu!" A large dragon fire shot came out of Kari's mouth and zeroed in on the enemy. The enemy leaps out of the way, and swiftly appears in front of them.
"Hand over the princess and nobody gets hurt."
The enemy ninja was dressed thusly. He wore some yellow pants, and a white top, with kunai holsters on the thigh. He wore a tan vest with pockets, containing who knows what.
"Never!"
"If you four have a death wish, well, I'll grant it! Blade of wind!"
'Kuso, that blade can cut through anything!' Thought Hanabi who activated her Byakugen.
'But, if we can get in close, we can seal off his tenketsu…it's our only hope!'
The ninja just now realized that his opponents are Hyuga or Uchiha. 'I'm in deep shit…'
Nevertheless, the ninja assumes a battle stance, which is oddly like the jyuken stance, and disappears, cutting down Hanabi.
"Sensei!"
The ninja, who Hanabi had identified as Akuma, didn't notice that Hanabi had used Kawirami, that is, until the flash tag attached to the log blinded him temporarily, giving Hinata the opening that she needed. In an instant, Hanabi appears in front of Akuma. "8 trigrams! 64 palms!"
'Kuso…' Thought Akuma, as he was hit with the full force of the attack. Hanabi watches in horror as her attack hits a Kawirami. Akuma had swiftly replaced himself with Hikari. Hikari slumps to the floor. "HIKARI!"
Luckily, Hikari was a Kage bunshin.
Akuma found himself surrounded by team 3 and their sensei. Since three were of Hyuga descent.
"You are in range of our divination!"
Three successive Byakugen activate.
"8 trigrams, 192 palms!"
The attack by three Hyuga was very painful, and the three final bursts of chakra pushed him back toward Kari. Planting one foot on the ground, Kari kicks the man on the chin, sending him up into the air. Kari disappears, reappearing behind the shadow of Akuma, using Shadow of the dancing leaf. "Shishi rendan!"
Natsuki arrived home sometime in the evening. (She spent all day training…) When she got there, she saw no one in the house, so she went to her room, where she found Hinata sprawled on the bed, seemingly asleep (What Natsuki doesn't know is that Hinata spent almost all day preparing Natsuki's real gift)
Natsuki striped down to her undies, and crawled into bed next to Hinata, and she fell asleep.
-A couple minutes later-
Natsuki found herself in a very familiar position, tied onto the bed, when an erotic Hinata stepped out of the restroom, wearing only her undies holding a dildo and riding crop. (A/N too lazy to write a good lemon)
Natsuki and Hinata both were sweaty and exhausted. The dildo was discarded, and lay somewhere on the floor.
"Happy birthday, Natsuki." Mumbled Hinata before she fell asleep, exhaustion taking over. Natsuki heard, but before she could respond, succumbed to her exhaustion and fell asleep also.
Team 3, after getting rid of Akuma, finished their mission and were now on their way back.
No one has responded to my challenge in Kitsune Tales 3, which is a shame, because nothing will be written from me until around the end of July for that story. This chapter focused a lot on birthdays, but it was still a hard chapter to write. Read and review. Laterz.
