Akari Uchiha

Ch. 7 Hell yeah, a mission!

"Hell yeah a mission!" Akari whooped. Second day as a ninja and she was already on a mission!

"It's amazing how we got the mission without putting effort in your combo attack. Just how a koel bird lays her eggs in a crow's nest, and gets her children raised with no efforts whatsoever, who can later break the crow's eggs. Or the crow children's necks," Oda commented.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"Oda... can you use more positive analogies?" Haru muttered.

"...What's an analogy?" Akari blinked.

"Baka, it's a comparison between two things," Sara snapped.

"I can't believe I'm leading a D-Rank," Ibiki sensei grumbled.

"At least you get a break from torturing people," Haru said innocently.

"I think he enjoys torturing people," Akari pointed out.

"That's sadistic," Akio added.

"Sadism brings the greatest joy a human can achieve," Oda commented.

Ibiki smirked. "Tch, having such a fine apprentice makes this worth it."

Damn, all you had to do to impress Ibiki was enjoy sadism.

Speaking of impressing senseis, she still hadn't seen scarecrow-sensei anywhere. How she got his permission for the D-Rank like all the other genin did from their masters then? Well, she didn't.

As disappointed as Akari was with the D-Ranks, if she completed fifteen D-Ranks quick enough, she would get to go out of the village! On a real mission!

She can't sit around waiting for permission.

The entire day was spent in doing missions. Ibiki sensei said he would be leading only two of them and then they would have to manage on their own because it was D-Rank, it wasn't a big deal.

Akari enjoyed interacting with the clients though. Or most of the clients. The arrogant rich ladies were annoying.

By the end of the day, it was down to her, Haru and Sara doing the D-ranks. Well, her and Haru, considering Sara was... lying on the ground, pretending to be dead.

Ibiki sensei took Oda with him for training, and Genma sensei had allowed Akio only three missions per day before he needed to get to training too. Genma sensei said something about being ready for C-Ranks by the time they're eligible for them. 

Akari shrugged that comment off. Screw eligibility. She could take care of whatever a C Rank would throw her way! She was going to zoom past these D-Ranks as quick as possible.

Anko sensei had taken Haru for taining too, but he ran away again after an hour. Asuma sensei had to train with his previous students, so Sara was just tagging along with them because of Akio. The only reason she wasn't leaving at the moment was because she was dead, or pretending to be, with all the work.

As for Akari, Kakashi sensei hadn't shown up. She waited for a few minutes in the training ground, she even asked the other senseis about him. Iruka sensei (she met him on the missions desk) said he had arrived back from his mission, and probably she should just give him some time to rest up before training.

"Hey, Sara, you need to actually put in some effort if you want to get the credit for this D-Rank," Akari huffed, sitting down, exhausted from all the weed pulling.

"It's fine if she doesn't..." Haru trailed off.

Akari groaned. His hopeless crush on Sara and Sara's hopeless crush on Akio was troublesome.
