"Did you get it?" Himawari asked.

The girl smirked, "I find it offensive that you doubt my ability." The magenta haired girl pulled out the scroll waiving it in front of Himawari.

"It's time to go then. We have one more village to visit."

Hayami, Deirdre, and another girl with short red hair came to stand besides Himawari.

"Will we kill them?" Deirdre asked

"Will we kill them?" Deirdre asked.

Himawari nodded, "no lose screws." She begun to pull out her ninjato but Deirdre grabbed her hand stopping her.

"I got this one, you all go on ahead."

Himawari gave her a nod and headed out with the other girls. The magenta haired girl leaned lazily on the tree, "she is such a show off."

"You're just jealous she gets to kill them all" the red haired girl said.

Hayami sighed, "Maemi, Aiko, focus."

The magenta haired girl whose name is Maemi rolled her eyes but pushed herself off the tree. Aiko, the red haired girl, smiled brightly.

Himawari waited for Deirdre to be done. Soon enough Deirdre joined them.

"Mission accomplished" Deirdre informed Himawari.

As they raced to the next village they were attacked. Maemi blocked the attack that was directed towards Himawari.

Himawari had a silent smile on her face. It's funny how a year ago she had come to challenge her and now she was protecting her.

"It appears we have some unwelcome visitors" Hayami stated as she felt the presence of two people.

"You've noticed too late" Maemi said emerging from the dark shadows.

"Why are you here?" Himawari asked standing up.

"I came to meet the Uzumaki Princess. I've heard rumors about you. I came to see how true they are. But from what I see there isn't much. You don't seem like a big deal. Let's see if you really are as great as you seem, Himawari Uzumaki."
