Sorry for the wait. Also sorry for the short chapter. It'll get better once I get into the Chunin exam. I have big plans for it.
Hope you enjoy the chapter!
We had just finished our missions for the day. All of them were pretty boring. We haven't had an interesting one yet, though Team 7 nearly died in their one where they were protecting that guy. The one with the bridge, I don't really remember. All of Team Seven has split up. I was going to my usual place to train. There were little kids running around. I smiled down at them. I've always thought that little kids, especially when they're running around like this. But it doesn't always work out the best.
One of the little kids, I don't know who, just slammed into this guy. The guy was a ninja, as he was wearing a headband. He had some face paint one and had this hood that looked like it had ears. "That hurt." He told the kid. He picked up the little kid by his shirt and the little kid cried out in pain. "That hurt you little piece of shirt." The weirdest thing was, he was smiling the whole time.
"Don't," Said someone next to him. She was wearing her headband around her neck. "We'll get yelled at later."
"Hey!" I grabbed their attention. "Let him go!"
He just shifted the child a little closer to his face. "Let's play a little before the boss gets here."
"You jerk!" I ran at him. But then, I was thrown off my feet before I even got close.
"Oh, leaf genins…" he paused and looked at me, smiling. "Are weak."
The little kid's friends were calling out. "Ryoma!"
"Please, let go of me." The kid groaned.
"Let go of him now," I said. "Or I will make you pay!"
"I'd like to see you try." He smiled. "I really hate midgets. Especially younger ones that
are rude… makes me want to kill them."
"What?!" I started getting angry and did the hand sign for my jutsu. "Kuroi Tenshi no Shoji Jutsu!"
"Oh, you want to fight then? Well then after I finish off this one I'll take care of the other rude midget!" His fist came back to hit the kid in the face. I gathered some chakra into my hands and made a small ball of feathers. I threw it at him, and it hit his hand throwing it off course. At the same time, a rock hit him on the other hand, causing him to drop the child. I looked up into the tree where it came from. I saw Sasuke, lounging there.
"What are you idiots doing in our country?" He asked.
"Ah, another guy who pisses me off." The guy said, cradling his hand. "Hey punk, get down from there. Ugh, I hate show offs like you." He pulled something off of his back. It was wrapped in bandages and had some hair sticking out the top.
"You're going to use Karasu?" The girl beside him asked. He started to nod but stopped.
"Kankuro stop." I look up and saw a person hanging off of a tree limb, with a gourd on their back. They kind of just appeared there, I didn't hear or sense them coming. "You're an embarrassment to our country. Losing control of yourself in the middle of a fight? How pathetic. Why do you think we came to the leaf village?" The person asked.
"Listen Gaara," The person, Kankuro I think the gourd person called him, "they started it and…"
"Shut up," Gaara told him. "I'll kill you." I remember Gaara now. He was my favorite character. Though right now, I just feel scared. I released my jutsu and turned back to normal, now that it looked like I wouldn't need it anymore.
"Ok, I'm sorry." The face paint guy told him.
"I'm also really sorry." The girl told Gaara.
"Sorry to you guys," Gaara told us. He disappeared in a small tornado of sand and reappeared next to his teammate. "It looks like we got here too early but… we didn't come here to play around."
"I know that…"
"Let's go." Gaara interrupted. Then they just walked away.
"Hey," I kneeled down and looked at the kid. Sasuke walked in the direction of the desert ninjas, I guess he wanted to talk to him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." He sniffed.
"Then go play. Don't let that ruin your day."
"It kinda did."
"Well, whatever then. See you around kid!" I ran off to my training site.
