Chapter 23: Sisters No Matter What
Earthquakes were being formed everywhere.
Lightning was coming more and more from the storm clouds.
The winds were so strong they knocked trees away.
The temperature of the area was beyond normal.
Water was all around, ready to drown anyone.
The elements were clashing together in a fierce battle, one that would be considered deadly and inhuman.
One attack could be the last one you'll ever receive.
In the very center of the area were blurs of colors.
Green. Yellow. Gray. Red. Blue.
They were all colliding with each other... magically, and when all of them together made contact it formed another color: Pink.
When all elements were together it either created peace or brang about mayhem, and sometimes, the reason of such were very simple.
They were sparring.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
We are sisters. Always have been, always will be. We saved the Land of Heart and the rest of the world as well.
Four years ago.
We just had to pay one price for the saving.
Our gained elemental abilities.
They were cool, that I have to admit, but they were so dangerous... it was difficult to control them. But, thankfully we had a speacial... ornament to control them. But hey, we can't rely on them forever now can we?
Yes, we really are powerful. And no, those gifts are not the only reason we are strong and considered great.
I mean only the people in the Land of Heart and the Slug Princess know that we have these abilities!
We are not only elemental sisters, we are also kunoichi.
Kunoichi sisters.
... Has a nice ring to it if you ask me...
But now I'm sure you're wondering who exactly are we?
We are we. We always have been a we. Or us (grammatically speaking of course). But to be more specific...
Hinata
Water is her speciality, she's pure, it's pure. They go along really well.
She's the good girl all packed in one: nice, pretty, shy, and caring. She even looks like one! With her oh so innocent eyes.
Her life... before she was known as the weak Hyuuga heir, time came and passed and she became known as the Hyuuga heir. They didn't think she was that worthy, but good enough.
Really now, I hate her family, minus two people! Neji and Hanabi.
Neji because he, finally, became well... family-ish. He's the whole overprotective cousin. And Hanabi, is the bratty sister turned nice.
... What else?... She also has a huge crush on Naruto since ever. And the boy is still to dense... But I'm not sure if her teammates harbor any feeling for her...
But I simply love, love triangles/squares!
Hina has white eyes (Hyuuga and all), long shiny blue hair put into a loose ponytail (I'm serious, it actually shines!), wears a jacket and pants (nothing new), and her most... improved feature is her chest. Even Ino is jealous!
Ino
Ino. Yamanaka Ino. Incarnation of the lightning goddess.
She's energetic and she's as immature as you can get. But, hey, even I have to admit, she is quite... slender.
...
Did I just say that?... Nu uh! Forget you even heard it! She is a pig that-
I'll stop now.
So anyway, she's short tempered and... fun. She's the one who dresses us up, brings us to clubs, introduces us to guys, and another bunch of stuff.
And now her family...
Sad really, her father just died when we were twelve. May his soul rest in peace.
Romance: Err... there's Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, and Sai.
She has blue eyes and long blonde hair that reaches up to her waist, when in a ponytail! I think it'll reach behind her knees if she removes it. Her clothes haven't changed at all from when we were 12. Except this time, no more bandages. A lot of skin is showing. And I have to make sure no one gets to her because of that.
Tenten
Earth, no duh.
Teenie, Tennie, Twenty, or Ten. Her nicknames that we never use, we call her:
Tenten. What? Its was an improvement from old lady. But anyway...
She's mature, among us all she acts more of an old lady than the eldest in our group. But, all of us are technically different in some way.
She's calm and controlled, but when you do something to make her really pissed...
Well, her weapons are sharp, just so you know.
Family:... All of us envy her family. So what if she hardly sees them? At least when they do meet its just a great and happy family reunion.
And love... love, love, love, love, love... All I know is that she'll be Hyuuga Tenten someday.
Brunette. With brown eyes. She hates the fact that its so... plain. But, come now, she hasn't changed at all. Still hair in two buns. But this time she wears long sleeves and pants that are red and white. And carries a huge scroll everywhere. She's still the one who looks like a real ninja.
Temari
Wind. And I don't think its fair. Before, she was already a wind expert, and now, even more, and she gets to show it!
So unfair.
But anyway, she's violent.
Very, very, violent. She's somewhat like Ino, except (sometimes) more calm and mature like Tenten... she's like in between.
... Well, her father used to be Kazekage, and her younger brother is a demon child gone great Kazekage. And her other younger brother is still the same. So... Well...
Whenever we talk about Gaara, she gets all overprotective, and when Kankuro hits on Tenten, she hits him with a fan.
Can anyone say older sister to everyone?
... Nara Shikamaru, so far, is the only guy who catches her interest. And because of that, when it comes to boys, the lightning and wind sister are rivals. Gets annoying, but its normal.
Her hair is like a dirty blonde put into four pigtails and she has dull green eyes. Boring, but she makes up for it in clothing... I can't even describe it. She wears this dress, that's black and has long sleeves. She's second to being a tomboy next to Tenten, yet is the only who still wears a dress. (and she carries a fan like Ten carries a scroll)
Even I don't wear a dress anymore!
Sakura a.k.a. Me
Fire. They say it suites me well because of my personality. And my teammates, since Naruto has the nine tailed fox within him and... Sasuke-kun uses fire jutsus.
But anyway, I'm like Ino and Tema. I have a temper, and with it I hit hard, but I can still act serious when need be...
Have any of you noticed that Hina is the true unique one?
...
Nah.
My family... among all of us mine is the third worst. You know? In the middle. Hinata and Ino are on top, Tenten and Temari are at the bottom. Because, my parents are divorced and I live with my mom.
But Otoosan sometimes comes here to visit me, and sometimes I go there to visit him.
So, my love life... Naruto, sadly, has a crush on me, Tema keeps going on and on about Kazekage-sama having a crush one me, but like, yeah right! And...
Sasuke-kun... I don't know if I still love him...
...
...
-sigh- Anyway, before I depress myself even more, I have pink hair that is still short. I wear the same shirt, but this time the skirt is brown, and I wear boots with gloves. And... among us all I'm second next to Hinata on the one that needs to get new clothes.
So, yeah, that's us.
The people we know?... Well nothing has changed at all, except for Hina, Hana, and Neji's relationship. And... Sasuke-kun...
Naruto and I drag him back kicking and screaming... okay not exactly, but glaring and grunting. He was put on a probation for a year and finally turned back to us learning his lesson. We forgave him and our bonds were restored.
He killed Orochimaru, but... he wasn't able to defeat Itachi.
And what scares me is that Sasuke-kun isn't the only one who wants him dead.
But other then them... -sigh-
I miss them.
Ali-chan, Nobu-kun, Suoki-kun, Feleka-neechan, and even Melane-sensei.
But what I don't get, is that the Higure hasn't made a move at all! I mean, we're ready beat them up!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"WAIT!!"
The four stopped and faced the pink haired girl. Sakura pointed to the things around them.
Broken trees, cracks on the earth, flooded ground, and plants on fire. To sum it all up, the place was practically destroyed.
Temari sighed, "I told you we should have practiced at the desert-"
"But there's no water at the desert! It wouldn't be fair," Hinata pointed out, "And also plants."
Ino sat on a rock, that was stil above the water they were walking on, "Here's one thing I don't get, why do we fight each other? I mean, its common sense that we grew stronger and can last hours without the necklace, but to spar?"
"We destroyed the forest and its been only an hour," Sakura said.
Tenten rubbed her temples, "Then lets just hope it'll take only an hour to clean it up."
Hinata began putting the water back into the lake.
Sakura started to remove the fire from the trees.
Ino and Temari were already placing the trees and plants together.
And Tenten was now removing the cracks on the earth's surface.
Sometimes, its better to train alone.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Tsunade looked at the mission requests. Three A-ranked, and one C-ranked. Who to give it to?
"Tsunade-sama? Why are you just looking at those mission requests? Will you not assign them?" Shizune asked.
"I'm just... yes, its best I give it them, no?"
Shizune did not like that glint in here eye, "... Who exactly?"
XOXO
Team Gai appeared in front of her desk, "What is it Hokage-sama? Whatever it is, we shall youthfully accept it!" Gai exclaimed.
The sannin threw them the reports, "It is an A-ranked mission, to get the cure for one of the elder's sickness. She had been struck with a terrible poison, and the ingredients are very rare to find. Some, you must pass certain tests, and others of the such. The ingredients are scattered almost everywhere. So do you accept?"
"Yosh! Of course!" Lee exclaimed.
Tenten and Neji just sighed in the background, did the two ever have a choice?
XOXO
"I have an A-ranked mission for you three," Tsunade said the members of the Ino-Shika-Cho team. "There is a scroll that is of need to be in our village. We are unsure of its whereabouts, but Suna has some information, one that could be important. So, do you accept-"
"Of course! Its been forever since we got an A-ranked mission!" Ino exclaimed.
Shikamaru just sighed. Suna. Temari. Ino. This will be too troublesome.
Chouji just ate his chips.
XOXO
"I have a C-ranked-"
"C?!" Kiba exclaimed, Kurenai was busy on another mission, "I heard Gai's and Chouji's team got A! How come we didn't get one?!"
Tsunade glared at him, he shrunk back, "This mission is for the upcoming Chuunin exams. The usual proctors are on a mission, and I need you three to fill in their spaces. You, Hinata, will be in charge of the first, Kiba on the second, and Shino on the last. Understand?"
"Hai."
XOXO
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi appeared in the Hokage's office.
Tsunade glanced over them for a while, but then sighed and handed Kakashi the mission report, "I have an A-ranked mission for you."
Kakashi just sighed after reading it.
"Why? What is it?" Naruto asked.
"This mission will take about a year to accomplish."
Sakura and Naruto's faces paled. Sasuke just remained impassive.
Tsunade sighed, "This mission will bring you to one village that is located in the Lightning country. It is a civilian village that is filled with great trade and commerence. Traders and merchants around the world gather there. And also thieves, bandits, and assassins. Raikage-sama plans on making it a minor shinobi village so that it can defend itself.
"But many political and economic problems have arisen in Kunogakure, so Raikage-sama can't send any experienced ninja to that village, Geroti. So he asks of our assistance to send shinobi there and teach them to defend the village.
"Kakashi will teach them in genjutsu, Sasuke in ninjutsu, Naruto in taijutsu, and Sakura will train the medic nins there. We are not sure how long you will teach them until they are ready, but the minimum time length is six months and the maximum is one year."
"Can we come back here at all?" Naruto asked. Tsunade shook her head.
Sakura was sad that they wouldn't be able to see the village again, but at the same time she wanted to leap for joy. Geroti village? That was where Reij, her father, lived!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The next day three teams appeared at the gates.
"Where are you guys headed?" Chouji asked.
Lee grinned, "We will travel throughout the ninja countries!"
"Lucky. We have to stay in some civilian village," Naruto said.
"Which one?" Ino asked.
"Geroti!" Sakura exclaimed happily, "I haven't been there since Naruto came back!"
"Where?" Naruto asked.
Ino and Tenten sighed, Hope her happiness won't become too much for them.
XOXO
Hinata looked over the papers, Kiba just shot her a questioning look, "What's up with you?"
Shino looked at the papers, "The applicants for the Chuunin exams."
The girl nodded, "Fifty are from Konoha."
"So?" Kiba asked.
Hinata got the papers again, "And three are from the Hidden Sun Village, Asahi."
"Asahi?"
"Asahigakure."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Temari sighed, she was given a mission to help out at the academy and other stuffs that involved the village.
Because usually she always chooses the mission that goes to Konoha, be it S or even C ranked.
But now, she had to stay at the village for quite a long time. Though what made her think hard was that she learned that her sisters back at Konoha had missions too...
Temari was stuck in Suna.
Tenten would go around the ninja country for ingredients.
Ino would do the same but instead would be looking for a scroll.
Sakura would teach at Geroti.
Hinata would be staying at Konoha.
There would be a large gap between them that would last many months, probably even a year.
The blonde was getting suspicious, Why are we all going to get separated for so long?
