Yo!! Koji and the Genin take a break from the Ninja Life, and the spotlight turns to Gale and Shinji, who will play crucial roles in the future. For now, read and review.
Chapter 45: Side Stories! Gale's Birthday Present, and Shinji's Encounter!!
The Village Hidden in the Sand, like every major village, has a Royal Family that's been around since the founding of the village. For Sand, it was the Kazekiri Family. Today, we chill with the heir of the family, and the prodigy of the clan. Today, we hang out with Gale Kazekiri.
"Hey father! What's for lunch today?" Gale screamed, as his father walked into the living room. Gale's father, Hurricane, had piercing blue eyes like Gale, but instead of black hair, he had short brown hair. Both were in some casual clothes, and Gale was sitting in the living room.
"Well, today, since your mother is on a mission, we fend for ourselves." He said, smiling, and Gale sighed. "Great…" He muttered. Then, they heard a knock on the door. "You get it." They both said at the same time, and half glared at each other. Then they brought their fists out.
"Jan Ken Po!!" They both said, and Gale won. Hurricane muttered a curse, before he went to open the door. There stood an ANBU member, and a girl with a black shirt on, and the only thing covering herself was a dark blue bandana.
"Hi! I am Ryoko! I am Gale Kazekiri's Birthday Present!" She said, and Hurricane looked a little disturbed, as he turned to the living room. "Gale. You have a…birthday present…" Hurricane said real slowly.
"What are you talking about? My birthday was a few weeks ago." Gale said, as he walked to the door. He saw what was at the door, and his eyes slowly began to widen, until they became dots.
"Father. Why is there a girl with no bra on in our door?" Gale asked. "She is apparently a birthday present from Koji-san." Hurricane said, his eyes dotted as well. Gale let that sentence process, before he ran his head into his hands, and sighed annoyingly.
Figures Koji would leave him a girl as a present.
Actually, taking in her features, curves, and rack, Koji left him a blue haired bombshell. (I can tell this is going to be a long day.) Gale thought, as she smiled at him.
(Cloud Village)
Shinji stood outside the Village Hidden in the Clouds, and smirked. "Finally made it." He said. He hopped the gate, and entered without anyone knowing. He then swiped a Cloud Headband from a Genin and wore it around his forehead. "Like taking candy from a baby." Shinji said, and he fixed his glasses. He then closed his eyes.
"Hn. Koji is supposed to be here, since that man he trains with is one of the Legendary Sannin of Cloud." He muttered, before someone ran into him. He fell to his back, and his glasses fell off. He was about to get up, but he felt another weight on him. He looked up, and his dark blue eyes met with light blue eyes. The wind picked up, and her golden blond hair danced with the wind. Shinji felt speechless.
(This girl. She is incredibly pretty.) Shinji commented in his mind, as he realized the position they were in, before he got to his feet, and helped her to hers. He picked his glasses up, and put them back on. "And you are?" Shinji asked, and the girl averted her gaze. Before she could answer, three Cloud Jounin appeared.
"What do you think you're doing with our prize!?" One of them screamed. Shinji's eyes narrowed. (This kind of scum annoys me.) Shinji thought, as he smirked at them. "She's your prize? I don't see any kind of writing saying she's yours." He said. The one that screamed began to growl, and the girl moved behind Shinji.
(Sand Village)
"I can't believe that this is happening." Gale muttered, as Ryoko followed behind him.
Flashback:
"What do you mean we have to keep her?" Gale asked in a calm voice, as his father began to smirk. "She's your 'birthday present,' so she's your responsibility." Hurricane said, and Gale glared at him. "Girls can't be given as birthday presents!" Gale said, and Hurricane smirked even broader.
"Actually, the laws governing Suna says you can. As long as the girl is willing. You are willing, right?" Hurricane asked Ryoko, and she nodded. "Then it's settled!!" Hurricane said, and Gale glared even fiercer. "You can't be serious?" Gale asked menacingly.
"Are you taking a threatening tone with me?" Hurricane asked, and Gale could hear the implied threat. Hurricane Kazekiri is known as one of the most powerful Jounin of the Village Hidden in the Sand, and is one of the Suna Sannin. But he couldn't lie. Gale would become even stronger.
(Man. When he uses that tone, I know I can't win…) Gale thought, and sighed miserably. "Good. Now, you need to find your new girlfriend some clothes." Gale tripped on his way to his room, and fell down the stairs leading to the basement. He then came back up, his eyes white.
"What the hell was that!? She isn't my girlfriend!!" Gale screamed. "Then she is your mistress?" Hurricane asked. "NO!!" Gale screamed, and Hurricane smirked. "Then what do you say she is? Because that's what the village will think." Hurricane said, and Gale let the words sink in. He then looked like he was weighing his options, before he brought up one last question.
"Is she going to be living here?" He asked, and Hurricane could see an acceptance from his son. (Maybe a girl would balance out that stick that's in his ass.) Hurricane thought. (But saying he had a stick isn't really fair. He's just horribly reserved to himself.)
End.
Gale sighed. Father was just as intimidating even when he was still a Genin. He didn't know what kind of clothes he needed to get her, so he decided to go to the Kazekage Tower to see if Temari was in town.
What he couldn't stop was the weird looks the civilians were giving him, and the glares his fangirls sent to Ryoko, who looked oblivious to them. He realized he should have just roof hopped to Gaara-sama, but he didn't, so he would take the punishment.
"Who is that girl? She his girlfriend?" "How did such a weird looking girl snag Gale-kun!?" "Man, look at the curves and rack that she has!! I bet he's a lucky bastard! He gets to pound that when he wants to!!" After the last comment, Gale uncharacteristically stumbled, and played it off by using his hand to launch into the air, and land on his feet.
He scoffed and continued walking, as his fangirls began to salivate from his little show and the boys scowled at him. (Don't see why they are scowling. I should have kicked the ass of the one who said that.) He continued his walk, and Ryoko followed close by.
(Cloud Village)
Shinji could see the terror in the girl's eyes, but didn't comment on it. "What did you do to the girl?" Shinji asked. "What we do to her isn't your deal!!" The loudmouth said, and Shinji scoffed. "The loudest Ninja in a group is usually the weakest." Shinji said, and he could see the glare he sent.
What he didn't see was the blinding speed and the fist that ran into his gut. He flew back, and hit a tree, leaving a dent. His glasses fell off, and he fell on them, breaking them.
"Glasses-kun!!" The girl screamed, and Shinji almost felt the need to chuckle. This wasn't his fight. He had no reason to help this girl. (But something about this doesn't seem right.) Shinji slowly got to his knees, and noticed that his glasses were broken. He sighed, as his brown hair covering his eyes.
"I really liked those glasses." Shinji said, as he put one foot up. "You will pay for them, along with the cheap shot." He said, as his right eye began to bleed red. The other two Cloud Jounin's eyes widened, before the leader flashed in front of Shinji, and covered his eyes with a piece of cloth.
"Hn. An Uchiha in our village?" He said. "Sorry, but I'm no Uchiha." Shinji said, as the Jounin popped Shinji in the head, preventing any chakra from going to his eyes. "Of course. Your eyes didn't hold the commas that the Uchiha Clan holds." He said.
"Now, the girl isn't any of your business." Shinji nodded, knowing he was right. "What are you three doing to her?" Shinji asked, not expecting an answer. "There will be a 3-Man-Cell Tournament in one month. If you wish to save the girl from her fate, then you will do so in a month." He said, and his two partners disappeared.
"Sorry about your fate, but that's just how it is." He said, and she nodded sadly. She grabbed his arm, and they both disappeared. Shinji stood to his feet, and sighed. "One month, eh? 3-Man-Cell. Already know who to find." He said to himself, as he disappeared, heading to the Raikage Tower.
(Sand Village)
Gaara looked, though only Gale could tell, completely amused by the situation. Gale looked quite annoyed, and Ryoko was smiling, as her arms were wrapped around Gale's right arm.
"My little Jounin has grown up and is living his own life." Gaara said, and Gale bravely glared at him. "Your sense of humor is well appreciated, but I rather you didn't. Can you just tell me where Temari is?" Gale asked.
"Can you tell me why your girlfriend has an eyepatch? Was it a rough first night?" Gaara asked, smirking. Gale turned red, both from embarrasement and annoyance, and scowled. "We did no such thing." He said calmly and darkly.
"Temari is out of town on a mission. Looks like you have to help her on your own." Gaara said, and almost chuckled when Gale grimaced. "Don't say that. Send someone who is a girl with her." Gale said. "Sorry, all Kunoichi are busy. I could send Kankuro?" Gaara asked, knowing the answer.
"And have him cum all on himself seeing her? Thanks but no thanks…" Gale said, and walked out. He didn't see the smirk Gaara had. He didn't call Gaara's bluff. There were plenty of Kunoichi around, he just wanted to see how far Gale would go before he snapped. Call him a sadist, but he couldn't help seeing the youngest Jounin in Suna squirming a little.
(Cloud Village)
"So, you know Shiro Masamune?" The Raikage, Ryo, said. Shinji half nodded, and shrugged. "I need to know where his apprentice is." Shinji said. "Hm. Shiro mentioned that he would be near Konoha for a while." Ryo said, and Shinji nodded. Shinji left, and began to walk around the Cloud Village, before he spotted a store with a black wide rimmed hat.
He looked to the hat, and smirked. Seconds later, he walked out, a small triangle cut out so you could see his right eye from the right angle. He pulled the hat down so it covered his eyes, and began the trek to Konoha. (With this hat, I look like Akabane from Getbackers.) Shinji thought to himself, amused.
(Sand Village)
Gale sat outside the clothing store, looking quite perturbed. He was relieved when he got some of the store workers to help her, but the knowing looks of perversion from the male populace caused him to scowl at them. "Sick bastards…" Gale muttered to himself, as he looked up.
Ryoko had walked out, in a brown kimono that looked like it suited her, and showed all her curves. Gale could imagine the looks of lust most men sent her. In fact, from the glare of the store window, he could see some of the lustful looks. And to make things worse, she sat on his lap, smiling.
"Do I look good, Kaze-kun?" She asked, and Gale couldn't hide the blush that crept up. He felt some powerful killing intent, and saw the men all looking at him with demonic red eyes. "Yes. Now can we go home?" Gale asked. "Yes. But can I ask you to carry me? I walked all the way here from near Konoha, and my feet hurt." She said, and Gale looked quite distressd.
He sighed, and picked her up, bridal style, as she blushed, and buried her face into his chest. "Hold on." He said, and used his Wind Chakra to take to the skies. After a few seconds, they arrived, and Ryoko held to his shirt. "We are here." He said, and she nodded, as he let her down.
"You fly really fast. No one in my village is able to do that." She said, looking down. "It's nothing." Gale said, opening the door. What he saw was Hurricane smirking. "The little miss is blushing. What did you two do?" He asked, and Gale glared.
"Nothing!! I went to get her clothes just like you said I should!!" He said, glaring. "Kaze-kun flew us back. It was quite an experience." Ryoko said, and Hurricane nodded. "I see. Well, I'll show you to your room Ryoko-chan. Gale, you're free to do whatever. Just don't start a family too early." He said, smirking, and walked away as Ryoko followed him. "Keep joking old man!! I'll get you back!!" Gale screamed in vain. He then sighed, and plopped on the couch. (Next time I see Koji, I'm going to kick his ass.)
(Leaf Village)
Outside of Konoha, stood a 4-man Squad, and the leader was smirking. "We finally arrive." Koji said, smirking. "Yes!! I can't wait to see Tenten-nee-chan after my kick ass ninja mission!!" Satoshi said, jumping up and down. Koji chuckled, and brought his hand behind his head.
"I guess I need to find Yami and thank Kiba." Koji said, and Kenta shrugged. "Back to the house for me." Kenta said, and Hanabi looked to him. "You live a few houses past my house, correct? Can you walk me home?" Hanabi asked, blushing. Kenta turned a little red, and nodded. "Sure, Hanabi." He said, and they walked off. "Ah. Young love." Koji muttered, as him and Satohsi chuckled.
ShadowRonin: And so the next arc is beginning to take shape, but before that, Koji has one more challenge. As for what it is, that is for me to know and you to read.
