「 chapter three」

"Hm. So they're found in Konoha?"

Tsubaki sat on the ground, leaning against a tree. A piece of paper was in her hands and the rest of the file was spread across the floor. Her mission was to find Team 7 and grant wishes to all four of the members.

They all had (surprise, surprise!) tragic backstories, except for the pink-haired girl. She was just bullied, which was a bit mild compared to the other's, but everyone's suffered in their own way.

"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Hatake Kakashi."

There was a certain rule about being sent on a mission. The people involved in there had to have all wished on a shooting star for a way for their wish to come true. And it appears that all of them had done that.

Tsubaki tilted her head. It was usually only three people who was granted wishes at a time, but the Council must have made an exception. She scowled. More work.

She got to her feet. It was time to start moving. She estimated the place where Konoha was and started walking.

She soon arrived at the gates. Then, a thought struck her. She was a suspicious figure appearing at the gates of Konoha, seemingly knowing the last Uchiha survivor and the nine-tailed host.

Fuck.

Well, there was no turning back now.

She walked up, a smile on her face as she waved at the guards.

"Wait-!" a man cried out, running up to catch her before stopping. A dazy look came before his eyes. "Ah...welcome back Tsubaki."

Visible Confusion???

"Who's Tsubaki, Kotetsu?" the second man jumped up, walking over to his partner. "We've never heard of anyone named-" the same thing as the first man. He stopped and a blank look came over in his face. "Oh yeah, that Tsubaki. How was your mission?"

Tsubaki played along, even though she was confused. "It went smoothly. Say, how do you know who I am?"

The first man - Kotetsu - smiled. "Come on, Tsubaki. You're a ninja here. About that, why aren't you wearing your hitai-ate?"

"I, uh, lost it...?"

"Oh," the second man blinked. "You can ask the Hokage or something. Don't worry, everyone knows you anyway. You built up quite a reputation."

"O-oh yeah, haha," Tsubaki muttered out awkwardly. "W-well, I better get going! Bye!"

"Bye Tsubaki!"

----------------------------

This was disturbing.

Tsubaki had gone up to several people with hitai-ate's and waved to them. They all greeted back with a smile and her name.

This must have been the work of the Council.

She scowled again.

This wasn't just disturbing, it was downright creepy.

It did, she had to admit, make her job easier, but still. 

A bunch of random people claiming they know you?? Especially if some of these people would run up to you randomly, screaming about youth?? 

She sighed. Her next mission was to find Team Seven. 

According to the file, they would usually be found training at Training Ground Three.

The file continued, stating that the children were training for their final section of the Chunin Exams. It went on to warn to approach with caution, especially in mentioning their backstories, as Hatake was rumored to have PTSD and Uchiha with flares of anger if mentioned.

Well isn't that just fucking dandy.

Tsubaki sighed and got up. It was midday, which was enough time for her to find the team and explain to them what was happening. 

Tsubaki stretched her arms and legs before picking up the remains of Team Seven's file. She stretched again, groaning slightly before beginning the walk to Traning Ground Three.

----------------------------

The file said that Team Seven would be a hard team to deal with.

And she accepted that! She completely understood the fact that they all had hard childhoods, some more than others.

What she didn't know was that when she walked around 5 steps away from them, she would receive a kunai to the face, along with a "WHO ARE YOU, DATTEBAYO!"

Following that was a "SHUT UP NARUTO! I'M SURE THIS SUSPICIOUS PERSON, WHO DEFINITELY DOES NOT LIKE SASUKE-KUN, HAS A VERY GOOD REASON TO BE HERE!"

Following that statement was a "Hn."

After that was a "Maa, my cute little genin. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

What kind of fuckery is this.

She just wanted to go home, maybe bake (burn) some cookies, annoy her brother, and go to sleep.

She didn't want to go on a mission with three traumatized children and one scarred man-child.

She hated life.

"My name is Tsubaki."

"Oh my, she speaks."

"Be quiet, Kakashi-sensei, let her talk!"

"Y-yeah! Shut up, dattebayo!"

"Hn."

Tsubaki's eye twitched. This was going to be a long day.
