After the Fourth Great Shinobi World War ended, the world was experiencing a time of peace. The villages for once were able to live in relative harmony with one another as they rebuilt, and for once, all seemed to be well. The kage were able to live peaceful lives and soon began retiring, passing on the baton to the next generations. That is until an unknown virus infects the northern coast. The first to fall is the once powerful Raikage, Ay. While many thought this virus was a simple mutation of what may have well been the flu, no one would ever think of the destruction it would cause. Especially when it infected a certain Uzumaki Naruto.
With his death came the malice; with the malice came the destruction; with the destruction came the shinobi' revolt; and with the revolt came the sacrifices. The Bijuu became filled with malice that they sought to destroy the world. Shinobi sought a way to fight them and once again capture each of the Bijuu. Time passed, and a plan was devised. The Jinchuuriki would be sacrificed for the greater good of the world, and with the deaths of nine individuals, an uneasy peace began.
As time continued, the villages began to truly restructure. In a peace that would last 80 years after the downfall of the Bijuu, the world would see the creation of a great many things. Technology was beginning to take root and before long the blossoms that grew from the tree of the advanced mind would bear fruit. A many great things came to be. A railroad between the vast many nations. Mechanical limbs to replace lost ones. Radios that could reach between villages. Everything seemed to be becoming less reliant on the shinobi. Only the need for them never truly vanished. As with the growth of time, also continued the growth of malice.

killer queen
Iku had set out to the mission office early this morning in the hopes that she could get a nice, easy D-Rank like pulling weeds from a garden or housecleaning or walking dogs. When she arrived, however, there was an inconsolable child screaming his head off because his damn bird flew away. In Iku's opinion, the kid was an idiot and it was his fault the bird was gone; of course, she couldn't exactly tell him that without getting in some kind of trouble.
So now she had to spend her day looking for a stupid bird. A giant, bright red parrot, to be more specific. How many of those could there possibly be in Kiri? It was an expensive exotic pet that parents bought for snot-nosed brats that didn't know how to take care of themselves, let alone animals or birds or anything else. Frankly, she didn't blame the damn thing for flying off the second it got a chance. If it were her, she would have done the same thing.
Inko the macaw had last been seen in the market district, so that's where she was going to check first. She figured she'd get results if she asked the people there if they'd seen a giant squawking red bird around recently. Fucking hell, this was going to be obnoxious.
There she was, minding her own business, trying to chew the incessant leather leash from her foot when someone dared throw a paper ball at her. Inko hissed through her beak, grey tongue lashing.
“Who the hell are you!?” she squawked at the child who'd thrown the ball, taking flight from her roost on the fence. She hadn't been raised by the most polite of people and it showed in the way she reflected her odd birdy speech.
The loud screech she'd made at the child was loud in the marketplace, and she flew upwards, settling on a powerline instead. Extending her leg, she continued to work her bi-colored beak around the leather on her ankle.

She struck up a chat with the first merchant she saw because there were a few large red feathers on his stall and he was angrily scrubbing at what would seem to be bird shit. "D'you know where that red devil got to?" she asked. He grunted and pointed in the direction he'd seen the bird go. "Thanks."
As she traveled, she heard the indignant squawk of her target. She sped off in the direction the squawking emanated from and saw the stupid parrot settle down on a power line. Iku wanted to tear her precious hair out already. Muttering swears under her breath, she attached herself to a pole with chakra and walked up it, crouching on the top. "Come here, pretty bird." The girl figured she would try being nice to the feathered pest first. If that didn't work, she might have to resort to violence and/or buying a large net.
Inko froze in place, frayed leather held between her beak. Her head turned so that one round, yellow eye surveyed the newcomer. Spitting the leash out, the macaw very carefully placed one foot in front of the other, heading down the wire towards the girl. Once she was within a couple feet, she paused, then lowered her head as if examining the human further. Without warning, she screeched again and took flight, battering the girl's head with her wingtips before fluttering well out of reach on the next pole.

"That's right, come here. I'm not going to hurt you," Iku cooed. She wasn't sure how intelligent this bird was... It would sure be nice if she managed to catch it now because it was too stupid to realize it shouldn't get close.
When the bird screeched at her, Iku flinched; holy hell, was that loud. She made a grab for it and came away with nothing but a few red feathers and watched angrily as the fucking thing landed on another pole that was out of her reach.
Iku looked at the bird, then at the distance between them. She wasn't stupid enough to try walking on the wires, and although she had an idea to get herself over to the next pole, there wasn't exactly any room to stand with the giant fucking bird on top of it.
So instead she fished in her pocket and pulled out a little bag of seeds that the sniveling child had given her to help her coax the bird close. She poured some into her hand and held it out for Inko to view. "Do you want some tasty seeds, pretty bird?"
The leash was momentarily forgotten, the macaw's eyes fixated on the girl in blue. Feathers raised slightly at the sound of the plastic of the bag, knowing that yummy treats were about to follow. She stared intently at the seeds that were poured into the human's hand, deciding what to do. Eventually she came to a conclusion.
“All the crackers in the world wouldn't get this polly to come to you, so take your seeds and shove it.”
Fluffing all of her feathers to punctuate her point, Inko took flight, this time soaring away from the female. As if a handful of seeds could make her easily just go up to a stranger. Eventually the bird settled in the middle of a tree on the edge of town, returning work on the leather leash at her ankle. This damn thing was coming off if she had to chew her whole foot off.

This bird was rude as hell. Iku growled in frustration as the stupid thing flew away again. She dumped the seeds back in the bag and stuck it back in her pocket.
She descended to the ground and took off in the direction the feathered menace had headed, asking those she passed by if they'd seen the fucking bird. Eventually, she got directed toward the edge of town, and she searched the trees for Inko.
Spotting her, Iku ducked behind another tree and tried to come up with a plan.
With victory, the bird held her head high, a detached and frayed leather leash clamped within her hooked bill. Flexing her talons, she raised her foot to get a particularly irritating itch, but she froze as she heard the sound of someone approaching. Hopping along her branch, Inko saw the same white-headed girl approaching, being sneaky as if she was actually good at hiding. With a snort the bird took flight once more and dropped the leather, looking for a more irritating perch and eventually settling on the top of another tree that was surrounded by thorny brush. With the leash chewed off, her attention was solely on her pursuer.

"Motherfucking bird!" she swore as the stupid thing noticed her and flew away again. Okay, that was it. Time to get serious.
... They had never actually said she had to bring the stupid parrot back alive.
She chased after the feathered menace, and when she saw it land again, tossed a few kunai and did some hand seals, propelling the knives forward with a concentrated blast of wind.
The alarmed bird took flight immediately when the human came into view, thrusting sharp things in her direction. The large wingspan was to her disadvantage however, and the gust of wind blasted into her feathers, sending the poor parrot barreling through the air. Inko impacted several branches into the next tree, feathers breaking, wings flapping wildly to catch herself before falling to the ground. Thankfully she succeeded, four toes of one foot anchoring her upside-down to a bowed branch.
Releasing her grip, the bird dropped and extended her wings, righting herself and taking flight, going straight up into the air away from this horrifying child with a screech. Angling her tail, her direction changed, and she swooped in just low enough to give the girl in blue a piece of her mind in the form of a large goopy ball of white dropping, aimed right for the girl's face. Eat that. Without waiting to see if it impacted the bird flew upward once more.

Hmmph. Well, the stupid thing wasn't dead yet, but she had scared it out of its wits. Her lips curled into a satisfied smirk. And then the parrot careened toward her, and Iku wasn't having any of that. She replaced herself with a fallen branch. And boy, was she glad she had, as the branch got a nice helping of bird shit. That awful creature... Oh, she was definitely killing it.
She tossed a few more kunai up at the macaw, scowling.
Inko just barely avoided being impaled, one of the kunai brushing her breast and taking many re feathers with it. She screeched a high-pitched sound of pain, a very primal fear sending the bird flapping with all of her might away from this shinobi. Hell, being with the boy was better than this.

Iku chased after the bird, sending kunai and shuriken up at the creature whenever she got a good opening to. Either she was going to kill the bird, or at least hurt it enough that it couldn't fly away. Right now she didn't particularly care which.
There was a loud, wailing cry as a shuriken passed through the tropical bird's left wing, clipping the bone and breaking many of the feathers to bloody, useless stubs. The loss of a wing was too much to keep her in the air, and the bird plummeted despite flapping her damnedest, dropping right past the feathers that had been severed and flailing as the ground grew closer.
Inko impacted the ground heavily, and the sharp snapping of the wingbones underneath her was accompanied by a chorus of horrid, pained screeches. Through clouded vision the bird could see the female approaching and Inko clawed at the ground with her talons, trying to use the non-broken but still ruined wing to get upright and get away.

There wasn't a chance in hell that she was going to feel bad for snapping the fine bones in the stupid bird's wing. The fucking thing had tried to shit on her, it deserved no mercy whatsoever.
She heard the thump of the feathered body on the ground and launched herself at the bird, pinning it with her superior size and trying to keep away from the sharp bits. She pulled a spool of wire out of a hip pouch and trussed up the beak and claws a smidgeon on the tight side before grabbing it in a way that it wasn't bleeding on her.
Then Iku trekked back to the missions office and handed the bird over. She definitely earned her money on this one.
