"you did well yumiko" said genma with a faint smile to the unusually quiet girl
she nodded at him answering with a small "thank you" in response.
today was her first C rank mission;
after asking genma, he let her choose the mission, which ended with her choosing bandit extermination mission.
since graduation, yumiko kept thinking about her first kill
after all, this is the ninja world, sooner or later she would have to kill
with her overthinking nature, she decided to lift that weight of her shoulder as soon as possible.
thankfully genma understood her intention and let her do as she wanted
turning to the present, genma said gently to his only student
"I'll report the mission, you can take tomorrow off" he patted her head with affection before flickered to Hokage building.
she sighed instantly while thinking 'man that was quite hard mentally' she shrugged her shoulder disappointed
'guess I should get used to it, after all that's the ninja world, killing is a big part of it and death is at every corner... better not think of it for now'
walking back to her small apartment, she took a shower taking off the smell of blood, then drifted to sleep instantly
because not only her mental is exhausted but also her physical health.
the next day she woke uo afternoon, which surprised her
'didn't imagine being this exhausted, or am I being dramatic?'
she stopped thinking too much and did her usual routine
brushing her hair and do it in hight ponytail after wearing her usual ninja attire. simple
she flickered to a moshi shop nearby, and ordered her usual order, after she paid for the meal
after finishing she started walking around Without a specific destination
'why do I feel lazy all of sudden?' she thought 'well it's my day off, I will just walk around... I don't want to go to the library, though I haven't talked to kakashi for a while... meh I am sure he is busy with his S rank mission or his porn' she sighed at the thought of her sliver haired jōnin friend with his porn book 'can't blame him knowing his past'
while walking she unconsciously choosed the route nearby the academy, since she got used to it after going for nearly a year and a half.
while walking casually she stumbled upon unexpected sight that made her stop in her track
'are they... ditching classes?' she thought raising her eyebrows in amusement 'why not play with them a little'
she flickered close to them, making sure no one can see her while watching them in closely.
naruto, kiba, shikamaru and choji were running out of the academy
she catched a glimpse of Iruka yelling at them from the window to come back
they, of course, ignored him, after making sure that their sensei wasn't following, they slowed down
naruto was the first one to speak, breaking the silence with his complaining
"how can we become strong by just holding a leaf in our forehead? that's a complete bullshit, believe it!"
"for once I agree with you naruto" answered kiba, nodding his head lazely
"let's buy some snacks before going to the playground" said choji while eating his chips not caring about their complain
"what a drag" shikamaru sighed lazely, he just wanted to sleep, is that hard? well yes, it is, he can't go home right now because if his mother found out about him ditching class...
he don't want to know what will happen next nor want to find out.
after walking for a few minutes the gang stopped at a shop for snacks, it was just choji who entered and the rest waited at him in the entrance of the shop.
while waiting shikamaru suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he frowned thinking 'why do I get the feeling of being watched?' he looked around him, not missing the dirty looks that some of the villagers gave to naruto, but none were directed to him
he sighed, pushing the thought away
too lazy to think about it.
meanwhile, a girl in the shadows smirked widely at them, entertained.
all her laziness vanished after seeing them 'not bad, not bad at all, he felt my gaze I guess'
she chuckled in her mind then concluded 'think I found a way to pass my time. bothering academy students is not a bad hubby' she smiled happily
after few minutes, choji came back with the snacks, mostly barbecue chips for him.
and as planned they went to the playground nearby, not knowing they have been followed all the way there.
shikamaru was leaning against a tree doing his favorite hobby; cloud watching, beside him choji eating his snacks without a care in the world, while naruto and kiba were playing in the swing happily.
this peace didn't last long as suddenly a feminine voice interrupt them
"ditching the academy, arent we? no wonder you guys didn't graduate early"
they searched for the source of the voice till they found a girl above them standing on top of a tree with crossed arms and cocky smirk
"hey! who the hell are you and since when were you there watching us?" shouted naruto at the mysterious girl
"my my naruto, I didn't thought you would forget me this quick" she chuckled playfully
"she is the quiet girl from our class who graduate early" kiba paused after his declaration then suddenly smirked and looked at her hatefully "didn't thought you would be this cocky after graduation"
she irked at his remarks but maintained her calm face
naruto looked at her confused, still not remembering who she was 'how can she remember my name and I don't remember her's?'
naruto looked at her puzzled
'kiba said that she graduated early, so she must be strong' naruto nodded at his own thought.
"what do you want from us?" asked choji after looking at her figure with narrowed eyes, in the other hand shikamaru was observing her carefully without saying a word
her eye twitched at him annoyed but didn't show it, she covered it with a smile "since I am your senior, I will give you an advice" they looked at her silently waiting for her supposed advice
"do the leaf training that Iruka-sensei put you throught, it really help your chakra control, and with it you would be able to climb trees more easily" she didn't say the part where they won't need any hands for obvious reason; entertainment
kiba glared at her seemingly offended "we already know how to climb trees! don't think so mighty of yourself just because you graduated early!" he said pointing a finger at her, anger visible in his face
she looked unfazed by his offended words and answered calmy "I didn't finish"
she sighed then suddenly smirked "tell me then, can you walk on trees without hands?"
they all looked at her disbelief visible in their eyes, unimpressed by her obvious lie, ready to shoo her away to stop bothering them
but before anyone can speak, she calmly walked down the trees, slowly to show them her point
their disbelief was replaced with with wide eyes and open mouths, trying to understand what just happened and how, shock was visible in everyone face
the first one to broke the silence was naruto yelling "how did you do that?"
she cooly replayed "ask Iruka sensei, he is your teacher not me. but since I am your senior, I highly advice you doing the leaf training, as it would give you more control over your chakra and will able to do cool thing like this" she winked at them and said casually "see you around guys"
the next moment she disappeared in a poof of smoke, leaving only leafs behind her.
she really did enjoy watching their shocked face.
if they were a moments ago shocked, now they are more then that, dumbfounded, with mouths open like fishes.
that's how her lovely day-off ended and she was very satisfied with it.
The future rookie looked at her in a new light, well most of them.
they will make sure to ask Iruka to teach them cool things like this, and maybe this way they will be able to be stronger
'I love this new hobby of mine, that will motivate them fore sure so it's a win-win'
she grinned like a maniac, forgetting all about her first kill
