The Kamizuru man

The Team from Spring

Chapter One: The Team from Spring.

Three ninja sat in trees around Konoha, they were three young genin and had just come all the way from the land of Spring,

The three held completely different demeanours,

Most notable among them was the very tall, muscular, pale, horned and four armed tank of a girl who at fifteen years of age already looked like she was an adult due to her sheer size and that glare, pro ninja could tell her eyes looked as if they'd seen warfare.

Her hair was swept back with a stark white colour that contrasted against her grey scarred skin, she wore very little armour, mostly just what seemed to be a metal bra with paldrons and thick brown hakama pants that were tied up at her ankles showing her bare feet, she really didn't need any armour as the thick white chalk like warpaint covering most of her body hardened her skin like steel anyway, the only reason she was forced to wear as ''much'' as she was was due to her clan's orders, she sat on one of the lower branches on the tree, studying those who went by a large two handed mace in one of her hands many hands laid along her lap,

The next was a young girl, must've been no older then eight, she was dressed in a fine bright pink dress and wore a crown seemingly made out of grey wax and several coloured gems upon her unruly bushy ginger mop of hair, on her pale face were various freckles, they ran from cheek to cheek, and even went across her nose, she strangely sat in a grey wax chair on one of the lowest branches of the tree, she was sat higher then the other two, she also had a table and a separate chair where a stuffed animal sat, who she threatened to stab with a large serrated kukari that looked gigantic in her tiny hands, Usually she was also donning a backpack three times her size that itself was bursting with things, but she'd left it on the ground so it wouldn't weigh her down,

The last was a young man who lounged in the tree nursing a small jar of honey as if it were a glass of bourbon, he wore a fancy and frilly yellow and black striped coat and a frilly white shirt shirt underneath it, he wore somewhat baggy pants, well worn black boots, and upon his head was black cordovan hat, and a black facemask tied around his mouth covering everything from his chin to his nose, he sat between his two teammates branches, and hanging limply from his hand was his weapon which resembled a small staff with a button on it,

Each of them had a forehead protector that had several dots on it, denoting they were from the land of Snow... or Spring as it was known as now, the first had it tied around her neck, the second had it hanging from her belt, while the third wore it as a belt,

They were in order Heishi Oxmen, Willow, and Naruto Kamizuru,

Willow took a break from scaring those passing by with her terrifying play, where she'd poisoned the bear who was her spouse, and threatened to take their country from them, to talk to her teammates, "Corr... lot a' blighters came fer this un eh?" The ginger girl asked as she rubbed her chin with a menacing grin, "betcha their kits'd fetch an 'andsome price," she looked to Heishi, "think ya could take 'em in a dust up?"

"I do not make such assumptions about foes I've not faced," Heishi stated as her eyes scanned those walking by them,

"C'mon Honey, surely you can at least guess about their strength right?"

The horned teen turned to the blonde boy, "Do you call me honey because I am strong and you use it as a weapon or is there some other reason for the nickname?"

Naruto sipped more honey, "Honey is sweet and so are you,"

She stared at him for a moment, "What does that mean?"

Willow let out a loud groan, "Bloody- ... ee means that your brilliant 'eishi," she stated,

Heishi's eyes narrowed slightly more, "He is mocking me?"
