Naruto!
Kunoichi of Wind Chronicles
"Ninja Genin"
Another sunny day in Konoha…
Anko-wake up Junie-chan!
Junie-what's the matter Anko-sensei?
Anko-hello! Today you start your missions!
Junie-it's true! (gets up in a hurry)
Anko-hurry up! You don't want to leave your teammates waiting for you
Junie-don't worry, go ahead, I just need to go somewhere before
Anko-ok, I'll wait for you by the river
Junie-promise I won't take long!
Anko-you just want to go see Naruto… (leaves)
Junie-not really… (finishes getting ready) (nostalgic look)
Junie left the house and walked silently towards the cemetery carrying a few pink flowers…
Junie-(stands in front of her parent's grave) hello…mom…dad…guess what? Today I'm starting my missions… (smiles softly) I bet you'd be so proud of me dad…I'm happy…I mean…Anko came back, and now she's my sensei…doesn't that make you happy mom? Your student is now my teacher…Also I have a boyfriend…his name is Naruto Uzumaki…I think you would have liked him…he's so funny…he says he'll become hokage some day…and my teammates…well I haven't got to know them very well…but they're nice…I just wish…you could still be with me…and see how much stronger I've become… (a tear falls down her cheek)
¿?-Junie? (stands behind her)
Junie-(turns quickly to see Ginji behind her) Ginji!! (surprised)
Ginji-Junie…you're crying?
Junie-no! (she wipes her tears) I was just…what are you doing here?
Ginji-I was going towards the river when I saw you go the other way…so I followed you…
Junie-you…were here the whole time?
Ginji-yeah…but why did you come here? And whose graves are these?
Junie- they're…my parent's grave…they died some years ago…
Ginji-I…I didn't know….I'm so sorry…
Junie-don't be…they died protecting Konoha…they're heroes…
Ginji-(stands next to her) Hiroshi and Reika Tsukine…
Junie-yeah…
Ginji-so… you've been alone all this time?
Junie-no…the day they died…Anko decided to take care of me…and when she left…TenTen took care of me until she came back…
Ginji-Junie…I had no idea…you always seem so happy…
Junie-but Ginji…I am happy…but…I still miss them so I come and talk to them…
Ginji-well…if you ever need company, you can count on me
Junie-Ginji… (smiles) thank you Ginji! (she hugs him)
Ginji- (blushes) well…we should hurry up…or Anko will punish us!
Junie-you're right…we should go (takes his hand and runs toward the river)
In the River…
Anko-where on earth could those 2 be?
Nobu-I don't know…
Junie-Anko sensei! Sorry for being late!!
Nobu-Ginji? What are you two doing together?
Ginji-we found each other on our way here
Anko-man…that Uzumaki boy is taking too much of your time…
Junie-well…yeah…
Anko-well, today team 6 starts missions, so let's put on to the work!
Junie-are we going on a very hard mission?
Anko-if that's what you want… (evil look)
Nobu-I don't think you should have said that…
Junie-uh oh…
So Anko got them some missions tat were quite hard…leaving them exhausted. So the 3 of them were taking a break meanwhile Anko went for the next mission.
Nobu-man…those missions were hard! (takes a sip of tea)
Ginji-well…we asked for it didn't we?
Junie-I'm so sorry Ginji-san! It's all my fault!
Ginji-no…Junie I wasn't blaming you, I wanted hard missions too
Junie-but still…
Nobu-we are a team aren't we? We have to act like one…you know all for one and one for all
Junie-Nobu-kun…you're right…I'll be right back
Ginji-wait…Junie…where are you going?
Junie-It's a surprise…I'll be back before Anko sensei
Ginji-be careful…
Junie-(smiles) don't worry (leaves)
Nobu-ok…now I need to hear it…what's up with you and Junie?
Ginji-me and Junie?
Nobu-I mean, you're never late, so I bet you went with Junie somewhere
Ginji-look, I care for her, she's part of the team, I worry
Nobu-no, you LIKE Junie-chan
Ginji-I don't like her…I just…think she's cute and nice…
Nobu-you're right…you don't like her…
Ginji-thank you!
Nobu-no…you LOVE Junie!
Ginji-Nobu!
Nobu-I've known you forever…and I've seen how you always look at her
Ginji-but she likes Naruto Uzumaki
Nobu-let's be honest, he got to Junie first, but that doesn't mean she loves him
Ginji-why do you say that?
Nobu-Naruto started liking Junie right after she showed up at ninja orientation…you've liked her ever since she entered ninja academy
Ginji-but Naruto and Junie had been friends since she started the academy
Nobu-but your on her team…you can win her heart!
Ginji-no…I can't do that…It's playing dirty
Nobu-well…let's just hope you don't regret it someday
Junie-hey guys! I came back!
Nobu-so…what happened?
Junie-since we're a team…I brought ramen for the 3 of us! (gives them ramen)
Nobu-why you read my mind Junie!
Ginji-thanks a lot!
Junie-and Ginji…thanks… (kisses his cheek)
Ginji-what was that for?
Junie-the morning… (starts eating her ramen)
Nobu-well, well… (smiles)
Anko-hello you guys, I'm back
Junie-Anko!
Anko-great news! Tomorrow we go on a mission to the land of stone!
Nobu-for what?
Anko-oh Lord Hokage needs us to retreat some package…no biggie!
Junie-we're traveling? Outside Konoha?
Anko-yeah!
Junie-wow! That's so cool!!
Anko-so go home, pack up and be ready tomorrow at sunrise alright?
Ginji-yeah we got it
Anko-ok I'll leave you to finish your ramen…see ya later!
Junie-a mission outside Konoha…
Nobu-you're excited aren't you?
Junie-yeah!
Ginji-this will be fun…
Junie-wait till Naruto hears this!
Ginji-…Naruto…
Junie-yeah! He'll be so jealous! (leaves)
Nobu-well you'll have some days to win her…
Ginji-she likes him…I won't interfere…I'll just be a friend
That night in the Ramen Shop…
Junie-hey Naruto!
Naruto-Junie-chan! How was your day?
Junie-excellent! Guess what?
Naruto-what?
Junie-tomorrow I'm going on a mission to the land of stone!
Naruto-wow! That's great!
Junie-and how was yours?
Naruto-well it was fun and I'm going on a mission to the land of the waves!
Junie-really?
Naruto-yeah!
Junie-we have to do our best!
Naruto-I'm going to miss Junie-chan…
Junie-when we get back…I promise we'll go get a bowl of ramen!
Naruto-Junie…I don't know what I'd do without you…
Junie-you'd miss me a lot wouldn't you?
Naruto-you bet! Believe it!
The Next Day…
Junie-Anko-sensei! I'm ready!
Anko-how about you guys?
Nobu-I was born ready
Ginji-let's move it
Anko-ok, now let's just be careful…remember there are other ninjas that want us dead
Junie-don't say that Anko-sensei!
Nobu-are you scared Junie?
Junie-kinda…I mean…a little
Ginji-don't worry…I'll protect you
Junie-is it a promise?
Ginji-(smiles) promise…
Junie-Ginji-san is great!
Nobu-looks like too great…
Anko-I get your point…
Junie-what point?
Anko-never mind…keep on walking Junie
Junie-wait! Tell me what point?
Ginji-don't ask…they're crazy
Junie-not fair! I'm the only one that doesn't know!
Nobu-I'll give you a clue Junie…open your eyes!
Ginji-Nobu! Stop it!
Junie-open my eyes? (thinks)
Anko-someday you'll get it Junie… (pats her back)
They kept on walking having fun and doing jokes, and by nightfall they had reached the land of stone and the village they were searching for.
Anko-this is it guys!
Nobu-now what?
Anko well…we find a place to stay
Ginji-where?
Anko-right there (points at a house)
Junie-do you know them?
Anko-it's a friend of Lord Hokage, he'll happily let us stay in his home
Ginji-are you sure sensei?
Anko-trust me (knocks at the door)
¿?-yes…?
Anko-Miburoshi-sama! It's been a long time!
Mibu-well if it isn't Anko-chan! Still giving Reika a hard time?
Anko-Miburoshi-sama…Reika Tsukine died 6 years ago…
Mibu-oh…I'm so sorry to hear that, please come in (they enter)
Nobu-Reika Tsukine? Tsukine? Junie do you know who that is?
Junie-yeah…she was my mom
Nobu-oh! I'm so sorry…
Junie-don't worry…
Mibu-so tell me more… (brings tea) Reika is dead, what about her husband…Is Hiroshi ok? What about their daughter?
Anko-Hiroshi and Reika both died on a mission, and as for their daughter…well she is right here with us, she has become a very talented ninja, June Tsukine
Mibu-you're June? Reika and Hiroshi's daughter?
Junie-yes…
Mibu-why…you have your father's dreamy eyes…and your mother's beauty indeed
Anko-I've been taking care of her ever since the incident
Mibu-why it's hard to hear that friends younger than you have died already…
Anko-well, enough talking, we came for a package, you know, for lord hokage
Mibu-anko, always rushing into duty, don't worry, the package is right here… (hands it to her)
Anko-also…I have one more thing to ask you…
Mibu-don't worry, you are all free to stay here
Anko-thanks
Mibu-although I only have one spare room…so…
Anko-I'll stay on the couch, and let these three sleep on the spare room
Mibu-alright, it's kind of late…I'll get your rooms ready
Anko-thanks a lot Maburashi-sama
Junie-Anko…why did that man know so much about my parents?
Anko-you see Junie…that man used to be Reika and Hiroshi's sensei back when they were genins just like you
Junie-wow…
Anko-now get ready and go to sleep, if they dare to do anything to you junie…I'll kill them ok?
Nobu-c'mon we are no perverts
Ginji-yeah…we're a team, don't forget
Anko-excellent answer, now go! (the three of them head upstairs)
Nobu-Junie…I didn't know about your parents…
Junie-It's because it happened when I was in kunoichi school…
Nobu-even though we're a team…I don't know many things about you
Junie-what do you want to know?
Ginji-are you sure you want to talk about it?
Junie-like I told you already…I'm happy, I just miss them…
Nobu-well, how did you feel when it happened?
Junie-that day…I didn't go to school, and as usual, stayed in front of the door awaiting their arrival…it had been some days since they had left, and then someone knocked on the door, it was a ninja man who told me the news that my parents had both died in battle…I was so small…I started crying but my best friend in the world came to give me support…
Ginji-who? Naruto?
Junie-no…I didn't even know Naruto, my best friend was Kiba Inozuke
Nobu-wow…that must had been pretty hard
Junie-a little…but to tell you the truth, I've never felt lonely…there was always someone for me
Ginji-and from now on you'll always have us both Nobu and I by your side
Junie-thanks… (smiles)
Nobu-well…I'm kind of tired…let's go to sleep
Ginji-ok…how do we?
Junie-I think the three of us fit on the bed
Nobu-there's no problem with you?
Junie-I may be a girl, but we're a team, almost like brothers
Ginji-brothers?
Junie-yeah!
Nobu-well then let's get a shut eye already!
The 3 of them change into their pajamas and get cozy into the bed where they quickly fall asleep.
The house was silent, but on the ceiling, there were a couple of ninjas preparing to enter the house.
The ninjas entered without making the most minimum sound. They went upstairs to the room of Miburashi-sama just when Junie was getting out of the restroom.
Junie-I shouldn't have drunk that much water before going to bed… (sees the main room's door open) that was closed before… (takes out a kunai) I sense danger… (enters the room and sees 2 ninjas ready to kill Miburashi-sama) leave him alone!
Ninja 1-look a baby ninja!
Ninja 2-stupid girl…
Junie-(screams) danger!! Bad ninjas in main room!!
Ninja 1-damn it!
Ninja 2-now you'll die! (grabs ger)
Anko-what's the matter? (enters running)
Ginji-Junie! (sees her trapped)
Ninja 2-this little girl interfered in our mission
Nobu-don't you dare touch her!
Ninja-since we couldn't get rid of this man…we'll take this girl instead
Anko-no! (the 3 disapear)
Ginji-no! Junie! We have to get her back!
Nobu-yes sensei! Ginji is right!
Anko-are you ok Miburashi-sama?
Mibu-that girl saved me…we must get her back!
Anko-what did they want?
Mibu-they want Lord Hokage's package
Anko-what I suspected…
Mibu-I know where to find them
Anko-tell us…but you must stay here
Mibu-why? I could help, I want to save Reika's and Hiroshi's daughter
Anko-You're old! It would be too risky for you to come with us…
Mibu-I guess you're right…
Anko-please…Miburashi-sama…tell us where to find her?
In a Cave a few miles from the village…
Ninja 1-you belong to us now…little girl
Ninja 2-that's what happens to nosy girls like you
Junie-let me go! (sitting tied up)
Ninja 1-I don't think so
Ninja 2-I wonder what we could do with you?
Ninja 1-I have plenty of ideas… (evil look)
Junie-(thinking) someone…save me…
Anko-let my student go!
Ninja 1-you think we're stupid?
Nobu-I do! (appears in front of him and hits him with a shuriken)
Ninja 1-damn it boy!
Ninja 2-let's see what you have…
Ginji-no way! Jutsu thunder wave! (inmovilizes the ninja) Junie!
Junie-Ginji! You came for me!
Ginji-c'mon I'll set you free… (breaks the rope) there…you…
Junie-(hugs him tightly) thanks…
Ginji-I told you I'd always be there for you
Junie-(smiles) promise…
Ginji-yeah…promise…
Anko-stop cuddling and help us out already! (fighting with a ninja)
Ginji-c'mon Junie…let's show them what team 6 can do
Junie-yeah! (takes out a kunai) jutsu blast of wind! (blows a few ninjas)
Ginji-that's it Junie!
Nobu-may I join you guys?
Junie-are from team six?
Nobu-I believe I am
Junie-then do it!
Nobu-special jutsu earth tremble (earth shakes)
Anko-that's my team!
Ginji-let's say good bye with style
Junie-got it! Jutsu hurricane of wind!
Nobu-jutsu trail of chakra!
Ginji-jutsu imperial thunder! (a big thunder like hurricane hits the ninjas leaving them unconscious)
Anko-I believe you did well today team 6
Junie-yeah!
Anko-let's go back to old Maburoshi-sama's house
In Maburoshi's house…
Mabu-you're ok!
Anko-I told you old man…you didn't need to worry
Mabu-I want to thank you June…if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be here
Junie-don't worry…
Mabu-I guess this was a rough night
Anko-we'll get back to sleep…and tomorrow we go back
Mabu-but the sun is about to rise…don't you want to stay another day to rest?
Nobu-and the package? Won't more ninjas come get it?
Mabu-but if you're tired…you won't even be able to defend it
Anko-the old geezer is right…I guess we can stay
Junie-but meanwhile… (yawns) let's sleep some more
Ginji-I agree to that
Later that day…
Junie-thanks for coming with me Ginji-san
Ginji-I promised I'd always be with you didn't I?
Junie-I like that
Ginji-what?
Junie-that you keep your promises…few persons can actually do that
Ginji-I guess so…sad but true
Junie-I wonder where we can get the veggies?
Ginji-how about there? (points a vegetable stand)
Junie-good idea! (they enter) good morning!
Lady-good morning…what can I help you with?
Junie-um…do you have tomatoes and onions?
Lady-yes I do
Junie-can I have half a pound of each? Please
Lady-why of course young lady (gives her the veggies) my you kids are ninjas?
Ginji-yeah
Junie-proud ninjas from the village of leaf
Lady-aren't you too young to be ninjas?
Ginji-we've just turned into genins
Lady-oh…It's just…
Junie-what?
Lady-a few years ago…a ninja just about your age…assasined half the village
Ginji-a ninja did that?
Lady-yeah…he killed his own village…I never met the boy…but the rumor says he has 3 mouths…
Junie-3 mouths? A ninja boy?
Lady-yes…a very tragic story
Ginji-and what happened to the boy?
Lady-some say he died…others say he ran away and became a missing ninja…but I believe he's still out there
Junie-that's scary…
Lady-If you ever meet with him…run…or prepare to die
Ginji-well thanks (they leave)
Junie-Ginji…are there really bad ninjas like that?
Ginji-It's true…
Junie-what if we find that ninja?
Ginji-I don't think so…that's probably just an urban legend
Junie-I hope you're right… (stares to the ground)
Ginji-don't worry… (holds her hand) I made a promise didn't I?
The next day…
Anko-well Maburoshi-sama…we have to get going
Mabu-so sad…yet necessary…June…I'm proud to see what a great ninja you've become…I'm sure your parents are as proud as I was of them
Junie-thanks…
Anko-well old man…it's back to the road
Mabu-take care…
Anko-wasn't this a great mission?
Nobu-excellent mission
Ginji-I just hope we get more exciting ones in the future
Junie-Junie-chan had a lot of fun!
Anko-Well let's move it so we can get home for lunch
Junie-yeah!
They walked and got to Konoha by lunch.
Anko-so…we're here…well I'll go see Lord Hokage to give him his package, the three of you are dismissed (leaves)
Nobu-I'm going home to rest…see ya! (leaves)
Junie-are you leaving too Ginji-san?
Ginji-well…Junie…
¿?-Junie-chan!! (someone comes running and tackles her)
Junie-Naruto!
Ginji-see you tomorrow… (leaves sad)
Junie-Ginji! Wait! See you… (watches him leave)
Naruto-I missed you so much Junie!
Junie-Naruto! I missed you too!
Naruto-c'mon, I'll invite the ramen today
The two lovebirds stayed awhile in the ramen shop as they both told each other they're wild adventures in the foreign lands. Naruto kind of jealous about Nobu and Ginji but still happy to see Junie again. After a while they said goodbye and each went they're separate ways.
Junie was walking home when out of nowhere many kunais were thrown at her leaving her pinned on a tree. Scared, her attacker showed herself.
¿?-don't be so scared…it's just me! TenTen!
Junie-TenTen- senpai??
TenTen-yeah! (helps her get free) you should have seen your face Junie…memorable
Junie-that wasn't funny at all!
TenTen-it was for me
Junie-I was scared…
TenTen-I'm so sorry but I just couldn't help it you seemed so out of this world I had to wake you up
Junie-there are nicer ways to wake a person up
TenTen-c'mon you can't be mad at me forever
Junie-guess not…
TenTen-well I actually came to talk to you
Junie-about what?
TenTen-you do know the chuunin exams are coming don't you?
Junie-chuunin exams?
