Episode 1: S-rank x Criminal x Aiko

It was a beautiful day outside Kirigakure. The sun was illuminating the heavens with its resplendent glory, there were birds singing their sweet melodies as they flitted from one tree to the next, and there was a soft breeze blowing, gently caressing the skin of everyone it touched. It was the kind of day that Kusari hated.

As Kusari drew nearer and nearer to the village, she laid her eyes on a red-headed girl.
