Looking for my imouto-chan

Nagoyaka jumped down from a tree and sighed.

" Junsei-chan, where can you be?" Nagoyaka wondered as he walked in a clearing.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a little dagger with Junsei's name engraved in it. It was her present that he had gotten her to apologize for leaving her.

' Kusso!. I have to be careful too. I'm a missing nin, ... I'll just do this... Henge!' Nagoyaka thought as he transformed into a different appearance, having his hair being shorter but midnight blue, his eyes bigger and red, and a scar on his cheek.

' She may not recognize me this way, but at least I'll get to see her... If i knew where to go.' Nagoyaka thought as he slipped the present back into his pocket.

(may I join? )

(Sure! The more the better!)

"Wheee!" A kunai flew through the air, landing in his area. "What the- CRAP, WATCH OUT! MISTER, RUN!" The kunai had an exploding tag attached, and was about to explode. ...BOOM!

Nagoyaka heard the warning and just barely missed being hit by the explosion. His hair and clothes were singed, a lot, but not to the point that they were really bad.

" Arigato, for telling me. If you hadn't, I would have been a goner." Nagoyaka said at the...

'Idi... They should be more careful, If it had been a genin, it would have ended badly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought no one was around!" she said, bowing vigorously. "I never train when people are around, you see..."

" You're clumsy? Its okay....eto, if you don't mind me asking but what is your name? Calling your Chibi-chan wouldn't be nice right?" Nagoyaka said.

Toshi pouted a little, going into Chibi-mode. "I'm not a Chibi! I'm Satoshi Kuroda! Call me Toshi! Who are you?"

" I'm Nago....", He stopped and cleared his throat, "...Nagoto Urame, But you can call me Goto, 'kay?" He said.

He smiled and extended his hand.

" Nice to meet you."

"...nice to meet you, Goto-san," she said, shaking his hand and smiling weakly. She looked up at him, curious. "What were you doing here?"

" Looking for someone. She's very important to me, though she may not recognize me." Nagoyaka said with a wider smile.

"I'll help!" Toshi said excitedly. Finally, she had some use. "What does she look like? What's her name?"

" Well... Her eyes are onyx black, Her hair should still be straight, her skin is dark...Please forgive me, she might have changed in the last seven years, but her name is Junsei Urame." Nagoyaka said as he scratched the back of his head.

Toshi's eyes lit up with recognition, and her seal burned, but she ignored it. "Junsei of the Team 13? But, well, that team's been inactive for a while... I think she has a part time job at the ramen shop." Toshi smiled, took his hand and lightly tugged him in the right direction.

Nagoyaka's eyes widened. Junsei working.... working?. at a ramen shop no less.

'But if it makes her happy then okay I'm fine with it. But that doesn't mean an inspection when I get the chance.' Nagoyaka thought as Toshi lead him to Junsei.

" I thank you for taking me there. The way you realized who I was talking about, you really seem to know her. Hope she doesn't depend on you too much if she does." Nagoyaka laughed.

"Nope. I depend on everyone else. I'm just a burden that weighs on everyone I meet," she said, sighing with a sad smile. "I'm just a little, cursed girl with no use."

Nagoyaka stopped and pulled Toshi to a stop.

" Who told you that lie? Everyone is useful to someone, curse or not. Just look at you're self now. You're being useful to me and I'm depending on you. Don't throw yourself down before you see what's beneath the dust okay?" Nagoyaka said going into his 'Aniki' mode.

((Team 13... I looked the thread and its broken or something?))

Toshi smiled up to him. "Goto-san, you're a nice person. If I tell you the truth I'd be burdening you with my problem, and I don't want to do that. It'd be bad." She pulled on his hands, urging him to follow.

Nagoyaka sighed. It had seemed that she made everything go in one ear and out the other. He allowed himself to be pulled to his sister. But...

" Toshi-chan, you can't burden any more than I already am, but when you're ready to tell me, I'm ready to listen okay?" Nagoyaka said.

Toshi looked up at him, and her face split into a grin. "You're just as kind as Junsei-san is, you know. She'd never, ever, let a friend stay in sorrow either."

" I thank you for the compliment, it makes me feel at ease that she has not changed that. However, " He placed one hand on her head," I just don't think girls should be sad or sorrowful while I'm around, especially if I can help it." Nagoyaka said, his smile even wider.

' Just awhile longer Junsei. You'll see your Aniki in a little while.' Nagaoyaka thought.

"Hm, I'm used to being sad. I've been hurt and betrayed enough I don't bother counting," she said nonchalantly. "I never made a difference in anyone's life but burden them. Ooh, look, there's Junsei-san!" Toshi pointed at the ramen shop entrance.

" Well. I suppose I'm the second, I know Junsei doesn't think of any one as a burden." Nagayaka said.

"Ooh, look, there's Junsei-san!"

Nagoyaka's head snapped to the ramen shop that Toshi had pointed to.


Junsei hummed to herself as she fixed yet another bowl of ramen when she spotted someone.

"Oi Toshi-chan! Konnichiwa!" She said with a smile.

" Toshi-chan, who's you're friend?" She asked.

"Junsei!" Toshi grinned, and glomped her friend. "This is someone I met during training. His name is Nagoto!"

Junsei grnned as she was glomped by her friend.

" Oh nice to meet you Nagoto-san!" Junsei said with a smile.


Nagoyaka stared at her. This was his little sister? She'd grown up well, but her chakra, it was a little unstable.

" same here Jun-chan." Nagoyaka said flashing an identical smile.

" So what would the two of you like?" Junsei asked.

"Shrimp ramen but light on the seasoning." Nagoyaka said.

"You sound like my Aniki whenever he ordered ramen." Junsei said with a laugh.
