The Fourth Student?

The little girl then slowly raised herself from bowing and gave her teacher one of her warmest smile, one that really came from the pure joy pounding in her little heart.

Her teacher. Right there talking to her. Her very first teacher. It was also her first lesson towards becoming a true ninja and today of all days, will surely be remembered and cherished for all of her living days.

She glanced at her "classmates" and gave them an appreciative smile, murmuring that she was glad to have them as classmates. That she was a courier and all that with a laugh at herself. I do hope they are friendly. They haven't eaten fire yet or newbies so far. And a good shinobi must be attentive and sharp. Very sharp. I sure hope I can ask her where she bought her slippers though. Now that is sharp.

As she tried to sneak a peek of admiration again at her sensei's slippers, something else caught her eye at the edge of her peripheral vision.
That something was crawling up the leg of the Leaf Jounin Sunaku. With a terrible gasp, the little girl tried to open her mouth to warn her sensei when someone else suddenly pounded towards them and heaved a sigh. The little girl closed her mouth as she tried to casually observe the newcomer while trying not to be so obvious.

A fourth student? There are supposed to be only three? Then who is she? The little girl wondered while looking at the newcomer with interest. She sure looks strong though. I hope I can be strong like that someday. The little girl nodded to herself quite absently.

But that still doesn't change the fact that something is crawling up the leg of her new sensei. With a shout, the little girl pointed at her sensei's legs and spoke.

Little Girl: Eeek! W-what's that crawling up in your leg, sensei?!!
