AU - Matsui Jurina, the entertainer

Jurina had just finished a performance in the Leaf Village, and was lying down on her bed, taking a break. It was tiring being an entertainer - especially one who traveled so much. Since debuting, her fame had skyrocketed and she was already a sought after singer in all of the main villages, prompting her management to put her through this grueling two month trip through the continent, performing at every village.

And even worse, she was doing it for free.

One of the ninjas that were escorting her on the way to protect her had told her that doing it for free was good for publicity reasons - didn’t she want to become more famous, as the rising star who performed for free? The idea had been her management’s, the condition being that the villages would provide the stage and seating for the audience, and that there would be a few ninjas at every village who would rotate with the current escort to accompany her to the next location.

But she still didn’t like it. How was she going to buy clothes?

Grumbling, she hopped out of bed and headed out to explore the Leaf Village, looking up at the faces of the Hokage who were engraved upon the face of the mountain. She respected them. especially Tsunade. Such a powerful, individualistic woman…It was exactly who Jurina wanted to be.

In her daydreaming, she bumped into a girl. “Ouch! Ah, watch where you’re go-!” She stopped as her mouth gaped open, and she automatically backed off and bowed down in apology. “Sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going!”

The reason for the sudden change in behaviour was simple. She had just bumped into a Hyuuga.
