Jiraiya's Twins

Chapter 6

Twins: age 10

"Yo get up Katsu, you're going to be late." Tadashi said as he combed his hair with his fingers.

Katsumi got up like a zombie. Her curly hair was messy, the bells were scattered around her futon. She shook her head causing more bells to fall off. "I'll catch up, don't you worry onii-chan." she flops right back down onto the futon.

Tadashi rolled his eyes and closed the sliding door that connected his room to hers. He made his way to the kitchen, where Hinata was finishing up her breakfast.

Tadashi smiled, "Morning Hinata. Ready for today?"

She jumped a bit and turned around, "G-good morning Tadashi. Y-yes, I'm ready."

"Ya know, we're going to be throwing ninja stars. I can help you if you like. Maybe after class or something." while Tadashi was talking he attempted to rest his hand on a chair, but he missed causing him to stumble a bit.

"O-oh my goodness, a-are you ok?" Hinata said, putting down her chopsticks to look at him.

"Yeah, I'm ok. I was just so focused on you. My bad." He said, clearing his throat.

Hinata sighed in relief. "A-alright, L-let's get to class then." she said with a smile.

Before the two left the compound Tadashi requested that the maids check in on his sister. She's never been a morning person.

"Lady Katsumi please be still!" Said the maid as she tried to brush the girl's hair.

"But it hurts, just put the bells in my hair and I'll be able to see fine" Katsumi said as she held on to her staff for dear life.

"This is about more than just your sight Lady Katsumi, it's about your appearance. And I will not allow you to leave the compound looking like Jiraiya." The head maid said with one final tug at her hair.

"You're asking the impossible! I'm his daughter" she bickered back.

Katsumi rubbed her head as she walked down the streets of Konoha.

"I can't even see myself, so why should I care about how others see me." Her walking slowed as she continued towards the school. As she turned the corner onto the dirt path that led to the main entrance of the academy she could hear what sounded like running coming for the nearby training grounds.

"You'll never be a ninja!" said a kid in the crowd.

"Yes I can!" said another boy.

Katsumi heard the class get closer. She tapped the ground twice with her staff. Now having proper barrings on her surroundings she went quiet and listened.

"I don't get why you're at this ninja academy when you cant even do ninjutsu or genjutsu and you're even worse than average in taijutsu."

Katsumi heard the class stop. She stayed as still as she could listening to the bullies words, she gripped her staff tightly.

"You know what everyone in the academy is calling you right?" another kid said.

"Dork Lee! Dork Lee!" The three boys began chanting and Katsumi had enough.

Lee walked back and covered his ears. He was about to run away when he and the rest of the class heard a loud crack. They all looked towards the direction of the sound to see a very angry white-haired girl. Her staff was embedded to the ground. Did she do that? How strongly do you have to be to impale the ground like that?

Katsumi stomped forward towards the bullies and pushed them away from the boy. She stepped in front of Lee defensively.

"You all are trash." Katsumi said through grit teeth.

The bullies looked at the girl then smiled.

"Hey! I know you. You're the blind girl who's in the same class as that yellow-haired kid."

Another kid did a fake gasp "No way, your dad is one of the legendary sannin right? He must be so disappointed to have a mistake like you."

Now the bullies began to poke fun at Katsumi. Her hands began shaking with rage, tears rolling down her cheeks.
