Taking a deep breath in her hiding spot in the woods just outside their camp, Sakura watched the small band of renegade ninjas for a while before hopping out of the tree she was in and casually strolling into camp. This was an infiltration mission, so stealth wasn't a key. Instead, she had to get their trust and have them believe she had betrayed Konoha and was now a renegade like them. This was her first time doing such a mission, so she was certainly nervous, but managed to not show any outward signs of it.<|im_end|>
One of the renegades spotted her as he warned the others. The group approached her slowly, looking her over. "What is a fine... young shinobi out here doing? Not to mention a Konoha village shinobi to be exact?" one of them asked her. Soon enough, the others surrounded her. "You better hope you want to join us," he continued. "We don't take kindly to anyone else. But if you want to join, there's a test you have to take first." He grinned at her, waiting for a response.<|im_end|>
