Nothing Special

Chapter 9

When they got back to the village, Aceso got to pretty good friends with Team 7, rekindle her friendship with Sakura a bit. She tried to return the headband, giving up the idea of being a ninja. She was currently standing in front of Lord Hokage and the council.

" I can not have this headband," Aceso said as she held it out.

" You've earned that headband," Lord Hokage reminded her.

" And I have unearned it," Aceso insisted. " I was useless on the mission."

" From what Kakashi you were far from useless," Lord Hokage recalled. " You even invented your own chakra medicine."

" That doesn't mean I have a right to be a ninja," Aceso argued.

" Aceso! Stop arguing with Lord Hokage!" Iruka argued.

" Sorry, sensei," Aceso apologized as she bowed her head.

" How about this? Stay a ninja till the Chunin exams are over from there you have every right to stop being a ninja if you wish," Lord Hokage offered. " You love working as a medic during those exams as I recall." He was not wrong, Aceso loved being able to show off her skill and meet other people from different villages and around her own village.

" Really?" Aceso asked as her eyes lit up. " I'm much more fit for just staying in the hospital."

" You live in the hospital," Iruka reminded her.

" That doesn't mean anything," Aceso argued.

" In about two months you can hand over that headband," Lord Hokage. " As for now hold on and continue being the beloved medical ninja in this village."

" Yes, sir," Aceso agreed. She then was able to leave. Later that day she was sent to a lady's house to check on special herbs for the hospital. When she got there, the lady was yelling at Naruto.

" Those were special herbs I've been growing, and destroyed them!" the lady shouted before throwing hands.

" Ow! Ooh! Ow! Ow!" Naruto cried out.

" Ma'am?" Aceso asked.

" Oh, Aceso dear," the lady said with a smile as she looked at her. " All my herbs have been pulled by this monkey. I'm afraid it'll have to wait a little longer."

" Understandable" Aceso smiled.

" Why can't you be nice to me?" Naruto complained.

" You were the one that pulled my plants!" the lady yelled. Aceso giggled.

Later that day Aceso had left the hospital after doing surgery, she was walking and reading a book at the same time. She heard a bird chirping, she looked up to see an eagle circling.

" Hey, Aceso," Sasuke greeted, she stopped walking.

" Done with training already?" Aceso asked.

" Kakashi has to go file our lastest mission," Sasuke answered. " See you later."

" See you later," Aceso agreed as she continued to walk, Sasuke looked back at her, he found it odd that she wasn't falling over him like all the other girls, it was a nice change, then he continued on ahead. As Aceso walked, she looked up to see a Sakura and Naruto standing on the street. She then saw a square box moving, it started to follow Naruto.

" Hello Sakura," Aceso greeted.

" Good day at the hospital?" Sakura asked.

" Some difficulties, but overall decent," Aceso answered.
