The chunin vest of the woman in front of her was ticker than any other vest TenTen have seen before and her family was known to supply most of the ninjas in the village. It seemed twice the normal size with a multitude of pockets here and there clearly showing that the woman was prepared for everything it seemed.
The young girl had heard about the ninja from her father; she was apparently a kunoichi that had taken everyone by surprise with the multitude of events happening around her. Apparently she was one of the few survivors of the destruction of Whirlpool and had been accepted by the Hokage itself; her discoveries in the usage of chakra was simply revolutionizing the way ninjas did their missions and was also a close ally of the Hyuuga after she saved the heir of the clan.
TenTen was really surprised at those accomplishments and was very interested in what the redheaded teenager was doing alongside a young blonde. Squinting TenTen recognized the boy as Naruto, the one kid her father have told her not to get close, not that she knew why. Naruto was just a little kid and since he was alongside such a cool ninja then maybe he wasn’t bad. Even more interesting was the fact that there was another kid accompanying Sunset in the park. The dark blue hair and milky white eyes were clear signs of Hyuuga blood. The little girl had a white kimono and was listening closely to what Sunset was saying. Not too far away but far enough to not bother them were two Hyuuga clan guardians obviously escorting the young heir.
TenTen was really tempted of joining them as apparently Sunset was teaching them something but before she could get close to them she saw a small bunch of kids getting closer to them. The guards were ready to advance feeling that something was about to happen but Sunset merely raised a hand on their direction. Sunset merely crossed her arms as the other kids got closer to Naruto. It was clear that they were there to bully the blonde boy and he knew it.
That was his luck; just as he had met someone like old man Ichiraku and even made a friend in the quiet girl with the weird eyes he still had bad luck. He was ready to feel the small pebbles being thrown at him and even heard the obvious sound of the rocks sailing through the air, but then nothing. Opening his eyes he saw all the small rocks floating in midair and he immediately knew who had done that.
Behind Naruto the redheaded chunin had an arm raised and a smirk on her face as she began to walk in the direction of the small bullies. Sadly for those kids they had found out an expert on that. She was not as proud of herself as she had been when she was still Celestia’s student, but even she knew how useful those skills were on a daily basis for a ninja. Meanwhile, the kids were in shock at what the young ninja had done not realizing that for Sunset this was merely child’s play considering all the other things she could do if she mixed her natural magic with the ambient chakra.
“So, I’ve been hearing from the Hokage that there were kids bothering Naruto.” She clicked her tongue as Hinata and Naruto stayed together and let the older girl deal with the bullies “now, I know that your parents will do nothing and will keep on doing nothing as long as you only target him, sadly for you there is a big trouble for all of you now.”
“Yeah? And what will that be?” One of the kids -obviously the ring leader- said reminding her in some way to Kamano back in the academy. Just for that Sunset began to truly get angry; before she was only going to scare them a bit, now it was almost personal.
“Poor, poor deluded boy, asking those questions to a fully armed ninja, but don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, after all, even the Hokage frowns upon a ninja visibly punishing a civilian; even though he would understand that I had to educate a fucking brainless brat like you.” A small growl came out of her voice and she let out some of her famous killing intent. Instead of advancing in the direction Sunset let go of the stones before walking into the sand pit. Taking a small red rod from one of her vest pockets and burying it in the middle “Now, I want you all to watch the small thing that I just buried. You may not notice it but I can activate it with a simple chakra signal, just like this one.” Sunset said before she snapped her fingers, then everyone heard the explosion as sand went everywhere, their hair and clothes quickly being assaulted by sand unlike Naruto and Hinata who were protected by the Hyuuga guards.
Once the sand settled every single kid was left with their mouth open watching the hole that had been made by such a small rod in the sand pit. As one they all turned their heads to see a grinning Sunset looking at them as if they were rabbits in front of a wolf.
“You see boys and girls, I cannot hit you directly, but who knows, maybe one day you or your parents are walking in the street and suddenly BOOM, the last thing you feel is an explosion under your feet!” Sunset would have liked to say that she didn’t feel proud of making kids scream in terror and basically pissing their pants, but Sunset was not a nice girl so in the end she took enjoyment from that. Seeing the wannabe bullies run away as if they were being chased by a demon -although the comparison was not that bad- made Sunset let out a big laughter as only the two Hyuuga adults and five kids remained rooted in their places.
"Sunset-sama, sometimes you even scare me." One of the guards said making Sunset almost squee in delight.
“That… was… so COOL! Sunset! You need to teach me how you did that!”
“Goddamit Naruto, can’t you see that I was enjoying that? Besides, there is no way in Tartarus you could learn how to do my Nightmare Bomb right now; you need to learn chemistry first!”
“Aw bummer, can’t you teach me something easier then?”
“That’s why we were here but apparently you don’t even wanna learn about chakra, by the way, Ino, get over here” One of the two kids that had been accompanying the bullies almost jumped at being called. From the beginning she wasn’t very interested in going along with the other kids but since Sakura wanted to fit amongst them she had no other option but to follow her. Said pink haired girl was right now holding for dear life unto Ino’s arm. The blonde girl sometimes wondered how her life had become so complicated so early, and she felt that the answer for that was the redheaded girl that her father had become friends with. Her dad had never said how exactly he had met Sunset but she knew it must have been interesting since she had been invited to their house for dinner several times.
“Come on Sakura, is alright, Sunset will not hurt you.” She said to the still panicking pinkette as she slowly walked in their direction. At the last moment Sunset noticed the other girl who has seen everything from the beginning.
“Oi, I remember you; are you the daughter of the guy who sells me weapons?” Sunset asked making TenTen immediately answer back.
“My name is TenTen!”
“Yeah yeah yeah, whatever; look, are you going to stay there or are you coming here? I mean, I’m telling these bunch of brats-” immediately, all the kids made their displeasure be known for being called brats “so why not just join them too? I was about to tell them about chakra since a certain blondy apparently don’t even know what the word means.”
“Hey! Is not my fault nobody wanted to teach me about what chakra is!” As Sunset and Naruto continued bickering TenTen didn’t took long in coming to the decision of joining the small group. It was not only clear that Sunset was good at what she did but if today was any indication, things would be everything but boring alongside those two.
