Today is Always the Most Enjoyable Day
Naruto did a double-take at the Sand Kunoichi's distinctive hairstyle.
"Yotsuba-chan?" he asked, the picture of bright-eyed innocence. "Wow, you grew up nice."
Temari blushed prettily under the compliment and, she thought, adorable nickname.
(They may have had bootleg Icha Icha down in Suna, but apparently the Yotsuba&! manga did not enjoy the same popularity.)
"Stand down, Kankuro," she said, brushing her younger brother aside. "I'll handle this."
And so, without even trying, Uzumaki Naruto averted yet another tragedy at the Chuunin Exams.
A.N.
Disclaimer: If Kishimoto can borrow character designs from Azuma Kiyohiko, he should have no complaints when someone else does the same to him. (I hope.)
What the hell ever did happen to Ten-Ten, anyway? Landing on your spine like that can't be good for you.
