Jam in the hidden village under the leaves





I was traveling alone again.
The Kazekage and his family were discussing things with the Hokagen, as I wasn't on any team.
By the way, the Hokage was cool. He had blond, curly hair and seemed to be very friendly, in contrast to my red-haired "best friend", although I liked Gaara-Sensei, as I was now allowed to call him, better now.

I look around. Konoha was really nice. Somehow everything seemed more familiar here than in Suna or where I come from. In most ninja cities there is a callous cold, not measurable, but still noticeable.
I was just taking my eyes off the window of a gun shop, where I had just thought about getting a katana, when I saw something running towards me. The "something" was small, feminine, had black hair, the tips of which were probably first bleached and then dyed green.Three seconds later I was on the floor and something cuddled me.
"Kittyyy !!!", squeaked something that was wearing a headband made of jam around her head in addition to the Konoha headband around her neck.

I rattled: "Help !! A chameleon gone wild!" Now that a little let go of me, I could finally identify it completely. That something was called Sammy Kudo, but was only called a chameleon, and was or is my very best friend.

"Duuu, Kitty?" Said Sammy with a quick look at the clock. "I don't have to time to practice ... tonight at seven, okay?"

The little dark-skinned jumped up and ran again and I was totally taken by surprise and left in the middle of the dirt.
Okay, that really was Sammy, no doubt about it.

After this robbery I bought the katana and then went to our hotel room, where the others were waiting for me. The others, that was my three Suna-Nins and the Hokage. I was really surprised.

"Kitty?We came to a conclusion- ", Temari began with a grin.

"I thought her name was Joh.", The astonished Hokage interjected.

"That's my name too," I said, of course not without rolling my eyes.

"Now we're finally getting down to business!"

"Shut up Kankuro!", Now the Kazekage also spoke up. "You need a team to take the exam. We all agreed on that. Most of the jam ninjas have already been assigned. Only you and Kudo-san haven't yet, so we decided to stick with Konohamaru. He is younger than you, but is already taking the Chu-nin exam for the third time. "

Okay, process information.
I had to work in a team, bad.
Sammy was on the team, very good.
There was a loser on the team from Konoha, very bad.
The bads outweighed any advantages, but for everything to work out I had to take the damn test. So I left it at a silent nod and said nothing, whereupon the three Suna-Nins looked at me in amazement.“No objection?” Kankuro raised an eyebrow.

“Kitty is sick!” Temari jumped up frantically and waved her arms around wildly. "get a vet quickly!"

Memo to brain, the three siblings come back to the top of my hate list. I threw my cloth-wrapped katana at Kankuro, which still offered more surface to attack than Temari, but didn't hit, as wrapped katanas are not intended for throwing. The rokudaime looked at Gaara with cocked head. He just shook his head as a sign that this was normal.

Three hours later, two of which were part of the toughest training I had ever had, I was totally exhausted but freshly showered on my beautiful, soft and very cozy hotel bed. In short, I was about to go back to sleep. But suddenly there was a knock on my window. The open window swung to one side and a shadow emerged that looked a lot like my best friend.

"Hi Kitty!"The little one grinned broadly at me.

"Get out of the field, I want to sleep!" I put my pillow over my head in the hope that she would understand this hint, no, hit with the fence post.

She certainly understood, but ignored. "Forget it, sweetheart! I'll drag you to the onsen now, in the mixed ones!" And with that, my blanket was pulled away from me.

“I hate you!” And how I hated her, I hated onsen and I hated mixed baths, and that adored Sammy-beast knew that before me.

"Come on, it'll be fun. There are so many half-naked guys running around!", She tried to persuade me, but nothing, I countered: "And then you ask me to go there and run around half-naked? "

"Yep, come on now!"

Ultimately, I surrendered to my fate. I would survive it all.
I thought.
Or rather I had hoped until I saw 'him'.

"Oh my god, I want to get out of here, I want to go home and I want to be more like a towel again."My prayers weren't answered, or Sammy just had more power than God.

"Hey, isn't that one of the-" Sammy got no further.
