Iruka offered an encouraging smile. As their teacher, it was his duty to motivate his students. Keeping up a smile was paramount in that regard. “Good work, Kiba. Your presentation about the Inuzuka clan was ... insightful. A bit too descriptive at so points, though.”
They didn't need to know all about dog pee and the various different types of dog poop. What colour. What shape. What consistency. What texture. Too much information.
Iruka scribbled on his notebook. “You will get a good mark, Kiba. You can return now to your place. The next one of the list is Minami Asami.”
Asami stood up and stepped forwards with a sheet of paper in her hands. The girl looked motivated.
“What is your presentation, Asami-chan? You are not from a clan, so I assigned you ninja life in general as your topic.”
Asami bead in high spirits. “I wrote a little song that I am going to sing, Iruka-sensei.”
“Oh, a song ...” Iruka scratched his head. “That's a strange form of ... presentation, but I guess it's fine. What's the song about?”
“It is about the Second Great Ninja War and the destruction it caused. History was always one of my favourite subjects.”
“I see ...” Iruka offered an uneasy smile. He had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling ...
Asami took a deep breath and sang.
“We kill the sick, the young, the la
We do our best to kill and maim
Because the kills all count the sa
Ninja do what they need
Running fast, through the trees
Ninja doing what they please
Attacking refugees
Ninja do what they need
It made us all feel good inside
When the strong n wept and the won cried
But what we liked was the children fried
Ninja do what they need
See that family over there?
Watch get 'em with a pair
Blood and guts just everywhere
Ninja do what they need
rcs and swords for hire
Rogues and thieves around the fire
Money makes the flas go higher
Ninja do what they need
Children sucking on a mother's tit
They all end down in the pit
Because we ANBU don't give a shit
Ninja do what they need
Attack so kids when you go downtown
By throwing so candy on the ground
Then get them when they gather'round
Ninja do what they need
A squad of Kumo-nin in the grass
But all the fighting has long since passed
Dead critters rotting in a mass
Ninja do what they need
Oxcars rolling down the road
Peasants with a heavy load
They are all Iwa-nin when the tags explode
Ninja do what they need
Killing won, lots of fun
Try killing one that's pregnant, son
You'll get two for the price of one
Ninja do what they need
Running fast and feeling an
See that family by the stream?
Drop by and hear them scream
Ninja do what they need
See the ninja down on their knees?
Draw your blade. Be at ease
Find their arms nailed to trees
Ninja do what they need
Kiri-nin are all hardcore
Co at you with a roar
Soon their corpses wash ashore
Ninja do what they need
Eighteen orphans in a no fighting zone
Books under arms and going ho
Last in line goes ho alone
Ninja do what they need
Hidden by rain, they live in peace
They think A will never burn
But the fuckers never learn
Ninja do what they need
See the little kids jump and shout
So fire will help without a doubt
Watch them try and put it out
Ninja do what they need
I've been around, so things I've seen
But the people who are mighty an
The people you kill, they make you clean
Ninja do what they need
I've only seen it happen twice
But both tis it was mighty nice
Maiming peasants planting rice
Ninja do what they need
Fire, son, is lots of fun
With a jutsu it all began
Gets them when they're on the run
Ninja do what they need
So people say it's not so neat
To watch people burning in the street
But burning flesh slls mighty neat
Ninja do what they need
Peasants in the open, making hay
But I can hear the captain say,
“Our orders, no prisoners today”
Ninja do what they need
Kill so civilians where they sit
Take them in as you split
All your life you'll rember it
Ninja do what they need
We all know, we who fought
It's no cri if you don't get caught
That is what the war us taught
Konoha-nin do what they need.”
Asami finished her cute little song. Her mood was good. This was one of her better performances. She had practised a lot in the recent days to modulate her voice. Singing wasn't her forte. Her vocal cords lacked training, but Asami gave her best. She polished, edited, improved her text over and over again until satisfied. She was pleased with the result.
Asami stood before the entire class ard with a bright sugar sweet smile. “And? What do you think? I hope you all liked my song?”
...
...
...
Silence reigned. Absolute icy silence reigned. Coldness gripped the room. The temperature dropped as the very air froze. Nobody uttered a word. Everyone just sat there and said nothing, not daring to disturb the eerie silence. A sea of blank stares t her. Shock and disturbance were written over the faces of her classmates. Mouths hang wide agape, deeply unsettled by her macabre morbid performance.
Asami tilted her head, confused and wondering. “Is sothing? Did I do sothing wrong?”
“Iruka-sensei?” Asami looked at her teacher for help. He didn't prove useful. Iruka wore the sa troubled expression as the rest of the class.
Iruka stumbled over his words, unsure how to respond. “Your presentation was ... wonderful, Asami-chan. Very ... unique.” He scratched his head, offering a weak smile.
Asami bead. “Do you think so, Iruka-sensei?”
Iruka nodded. “Of course, ... I do ...”
A girl dropped to the ground from her seat. She had fainted.
“...” Asami blinked, equally confused and surprised. This was strange. Why did the girl faint?
