Hinami Senju: Tales of a Hybrid Ninja

chap 21: Curry of Life

"Naruto! come on!" Hinami said referring to the strangers on their backs, four in total, Two on Hinami and two on Naruto. these people had washed from the lake on the training grounds all of them were suffering from mild hypothermia. theyd woken up briefly to find out where they were.

"Come on... Naruto... this was... your idea." Hinami said, struggling under the weight of two grown adults. They'd been training on the training grounds when they'd shown up, Hinami wore a maroon-purple sleeveless cropped top zipped up to her neck with a cropped sky blue jacket overtop, wearing black shorts with a skirt stopping mid thigh. Wearing her black hair in two braids with light blue ribbons at the base, a yellow strand going through the braid on the right side with a lilac purple strand going through the braid on the left side. Wearing her headband around her left thigh, her bangs falling over her face wearing black arm protectors on her forearms, wearing shinguards on her shins going over her black sandals,

"guess this counts as training too..." Naruto said, grunting with effort. He wore a blue to orange ninja outfit with his chunin vest overtop, wearing his headband around his forehead keeping his blonde hair from sitting flatly on his head. Wearing his shuriken holster on his right thigh with his kunai pouch on his back waist.

"Exactly." Hinami said in agreement as the two made their way downstream, holding the people on their backs, passing Lee who was training with weights around his ankles, wrists, and weighted Geta. as he trained, he looked over and noted Hinami and Naruto carrying two full grown adults with what seemed to be practiced ease.

"Ill have to do better." Lee commented to himself, before training himself harder and faster to improve his body's recovery and speed.

"Gai, I have a mission for your squad. alongside Naruto and Hinami." Minato said later that day, the four strangers were being assessed at the hospital. They'd come with a request of the village. Gai had finished his report on his recent mission that he'd completed, he stood laughing for a moment as he recalled the mission. His black hair was in a bowl cut around his head, wearing a forest green jumpsuit with a his protector on his waist underneath his jonin flak jacket. Wearing orange leg warmers on his legs sitting overtop his blue ninja sandals. Before looking seriously at Minato, ready for what the man was to tell him. Minato was thankful for that, he looked towards Gai equally as serious, his blue eyes meeting black. His hair spiking around his head with his sideburns reaching under his chin wearing his headband around his forehead, wearing a dark blue jonin outfit with his jonin flak jacket overtop, wearing his hokage cloak over his shoulders.

"Don't forget, you have that S-mission as well, the client requested you specifically, and if you don't leave today, you won't make it." Shukaku commented from the side, his black hair in a ponytail behind his head, as his brown eyes looked towards Gai. Wearing a fishnetting shortsleeve shirt with his jonin flak jacket overtop, paired with black capris pants, wrappings around his shins with black sandals around his feet. Wearing a brown sleeveless jacket over his shoulders with dark green protectors on his hands and forearms.

"They'll have to handle this alone then. Well, with Naruto and Hinami as well." Minato said calmly,

"Wait! Why can't they go alone! Why do those two have to go with them huh!" Gai said and Minato hummed, looking over,

"Because they were the ones to find the clients. But also because Tenten is out sick, so is Sasuke." Minato said and the man hummed in response looking confused

"The men Naruto and Hinami rescued came to request help. They're from the Katabami mine. That's one of the most abundant in the land of rivers. But 6 months ago, people calling themselves the Kurosuke family showed up and took over their magistrate out and took over their village, and are killing people left and right." Minato said sitting behind his desk his hands folded in front of him as he looked towards team Gai (Minus a sick Tenten), Hinami and Naruto as they stood before his desk. Hinami stood on the end, standing next to Neji, Hinami wore a maroon-purple sleeveless cropped top zipped up to her neck with a cropped sky blue jacket overtop, wearing black shorts with a skirt stopping mid thigh. Wearing her black hair in two braids with light blue ribbons at the base, a yellow strand going through the braid on the right side with a lilac purple strand going through the braid on the left side. Wearing her headband around her left thigh, her bangs falling over her face wearing black arm protectors on her forearms, wearing shinguards on her shins going over her black sandals,
