Everything changed so quickly for Yuni. At first, they were all happy to finally arrive at the village, and it suddenly turned into this? The girl had no idea why Hayaku wanted to attack the boy. Yuni thought the Tenpi shinobi only wanted to help.

The Suichuu genin stayed close to her sensei as she was unsure of what to do. She was a little panicky at first, especially when a short, redheaded girl come out of nowhere and had them surrounded by fire in an instant. However, as quick as it started, the fire was blown out like a candle by another boy’s attack. All Yuni could do was stand and watch as a battle began to unfold before her eyes.

----------

As she was about to leave, Sayuri had happened to catch a glimpse of the Suichuu team through the dancing embers. She had to take a second glance, for she saw that one of them was absent from the group. No matter how good her traps may have been, the kunoichi always planned for what might happen if her trap should fail. She had half expected for at least one of them to escape, and she prepared herself.

The girl readied herself as she looked around her surroundings. Some trees had started to catch on fire as a thick mist covered the area. After a short moment, she found what she was waiting for, which were projectiles coming from the enemy. Sayuri prepared to form a handseal when a gust of wind came across the area to blow away the smoke that had blinded them. Although this was a good thing for vision, Otikaru’s attack had also blown out her fire and interfered with the girl’s next move; not to mention that the enemy also had better vision now like they did.

The genin heard three quick clanks as she found Otikaru appearing in front of her with three needles falling to the ground by his feet. An instant after that, an older swordsman already had his blade at the neck of her friend.

Sayuri was a little upset now. Not only did Otikaru ruin her trap and gotten himself into a bit of trouble, but the guards at the nearby gate did not seem to be doing their job. Are they that busy or lazy to come over here?

The girl eyed the swordsman as she kept her guard up, especially since the other man had not come out yet. Her blue irises quickly scanned the forest beside her before turning her attention back to the man. She decided to hold off on any attacks unless it was necessary, and motioned Minato to do so also. Since everyone seemed to want to hold their current positions, this might be a good time to get a little information.

”Hey, you.” Sayuri said mainly to the swordsman. ”Judging by the headbands, all of you are from Suichuu, right? What are you trying to get by attacking someone right outside of the gates?”

Even though she was not looking directly at Minato at the moment, Sayuri could still picture the image of the needle in the boy’s leg. The kunoichi wished he could just pull it out already. It hurt to see sharp objects sticking out of him like that.

The girl watched as the older swordsman took his sword away from Otikaru’s neck, as if it were a sign of trust. However, her partner did just the opposite by pulling out a large knife… What the heck…?

After the man’s short explanation, Sayuri had to ponder for a short moment. Perhaps he was correct; maybe they did just mistake each other as the enemy. After all, even though the redhead had seen all of their headbands clearly, she had not seen one on the shinobi that had attacked Minato. Maybe the Suichuu team just happened to be walking by when another random shinobi came out of no where to attack Minato? Then again, this could all just be some sort of plan. Unless the shinobi was very unskilled, no ninja would attack alone with so many others present.

The genin straightened herself up from her fighting stance. She had to think of many possibilities to determine whether these people were a threat or not. Talking to them more might help with that.

”Karu, put that knife away.” Sayuri ordered before crossing her arms. She then looked at the Suichuu swordsman. If anything were to go wrong, she could still put that other plan of hers into action.

”Well, maybe it really was just a mistake.” As she spoke, she strolled closer to the group and stopped besides Otikaru. ”I just kind of assumed you were with that other guy since… Well, you probably just happened to be here at the wrong time.” She glanced at the two behind the swordsman; another man and a young girl that appeared to be in her age group. The girl with the odango buns had a very lost look on her face.

”Anyways, if the four of you want to enter the village, you need some kind of pass to do so.

[[OOC: I know it's kinda long, I'm sorry. T_T I suddenly had a writing impulse. ]]

What just happened? Right after Reizo’s sword appeared to almost make contact with the other boy’s neck, the battle was suddenly put on pause right after the short redhead said something. Apparently, the Suichuu jounin was speaking of how they were being attacked, but wasn’t Hayaku the one that attacked first? Where did he go anyway? Yuni would have said something to prove the Tenpi kunoichi was right, but this seemed like one of those situations where she should just keep her mouth shut. She did not want to get into any trouble after all.

The Hanoumi child did not know what exactly happened since she was not paying much attention to the conversation, but Reizo had sheathed his sword and was well on his way toward the gate. Yuni jogged over to follow; waving a cheerful good-bye to the dark-haired Tenpi nin Hayaku had attacked first. For some reason, she could not help but feel like she already had a strong attachment to the boy, and they have yet to speak a word to each other. Perhaps they will encounter each other again in the near future—and hopefully in better terms.

After catching up to Reizo, Yuni just had to look around a bit to see if Hayaku was hiding somewhere in the surrounding forest. Now where did he run off too?

----------

Sayuri only stood silently as the Suichuu team walked past her and through the village gates. It was only until they were completely gone when she turned around to face the path that led back into the village. She could not help but wish they did something to prove the team guilty, especially since she could not shake off that strange feeling that the foreign team was up to nothing good.

Otikaru had wandered off somewhere before the other group had entered the village, leaving just the two genin—Minato and Sayuri—standing alone at the outer walls of the Sun Village. The kunoichi raised her arms as if she were about to form a hand seal, but lowered them just as quick as she raised them. She said nothing as she wandered off in thought.

The girl could not help but think back to when she found Minato earlier, who was standing on a limp as he faced the shinobi as if he were ready to fight. Surely, if a group of shinobi saw a child getting attacked in front of their eyes, they would not just stand there and stare unless they actually wanted him to get hurt or something. Thinking of which, where had the attacker gone? After Otikaru’s useless attack, he had suddenly disappeared. However, there was almost no doubt that the attacker could still be lurker around nearby. It would be best if she and her partner get back into the village before anything else happens.

Shoving her hands into her pockets, Sayuri looked at Minato as she realized how long the silence between them had been. For a few, it may have been a tad bit awkward to be standing quietly with the girl while she had a very serious look on her face, but Minato should know by now that Sayuri is thinking when she gets that quiet. Heck, she has been known to not respond for a period of time while she is deep in thought—unless someone decides to shove her into a pond or something.

After turning to her teammate, a slight glint had caught her eye before realizing the boy had yet to pull that needle out of his leg. Sayuri was getting slight chills down her back just by looking at it. Even though she does not seem to mind getting injections during her doctor’s appointment, needles still gave the girl the creeps. She dared not to step a single foot in her father’s room in fear of stepping on one.

After shaking her head at Minato, she began to walk past him to head down the path, expecting him to follow.

”Let’s get going Minato, before something else happens to you out here.” Sayuri finally said. She could not help thinking it, but the boy sure did have bad luck. Not only was he clumsy, but her appeared to be an easy target for projectiles. The girl should know that, since she uses the energetic genin for target practice sometimes.

”Oh yeah, and pull that needle out already, will you? It pains me to see you like that. And besides, there could be something else in that needle that could hurt you… Actually…” Sayuri paused as she turned around, walking over to Minato afterward. She took his arm and places it across her shoulders for him to lean on. However, he would have to bend over a little since there was a bit of a height difference between them. The kunoichi could think of a better way to do this, but where was Otikaru when they needed muscle power?

”It’s a good idea to keep that leg as still as possible, but try not to trip over and crush me, okay?” she told Minato. After telling him that, Sayuri waited for him to get ready to go.

Temporarily seizing the search for the only chuunin in their group, Yuni jogged over to Reizo, who was standing and waiting for her at the gates. By the time she reached the destination, the kunoichi could hear some yelling from behind them. It was only the male Sun ninja, telling them not to cause trouble as he and the small redhead made their way into the village. Yuni only smiled as the two genin walked past them, giving the boy another wave before she replied. She felt bad for the boy having a needle sticking out of his leg like that—he might be in some pain at the moment. What if he ended up limping for days?

”Don’t worry, we won’t!” she said in her usual cheerful tone. With that, the two genin were gone; leaving the Suichuu team alone at the gates. Once the Tenpi-nin disappeared into the distance, Yuni’s teal-blue eyes looked up at swordsman next to her.

”Ne! Ne!” she said as she tugged on Reizo’s sleeve lightly. ”Where did Hayaku go? He just disappeared! And what the heck was up with what just happened back there?”
