Summary
Orochimaru-sama comes to the Academy and asks for the student with the best calligraphy.
“Only the girls learn it,” Iruka-sensei says, and Orochimaru-sama clicks his tongue like he disapproves. “But we have several capable young kunoichi.”
Sakura has the highest marks in calligraphy, higher even than Ino-chan. She has good marks in their painting class, too, and any class that involves holding a pencil. She tells Orochimaru-sama this proudly.
“How wonderful,” he says, and she’s giddy with praise from the legendary war hero.
He wants to see her write, so she does. They go to Iruka-sensei’s desk and both her teacher and Orochimaru-sama watch her. Orochimaru-sama asks her to write smaller and smaller. She does. He praises her.
“Yes,” he says, “I think you’ll do.”

Summary
Shizune and Sasori meet on a plant collection trip.
--
The boy has a very beautiful face. He has honey-brown eyes, under his pretty red hair, and a smattering of freckles on the bridge of his nose. He’s not very tall or big, but his face is delicate to match his lithe body. Shizune would be charmed by his good looks, if he weren’t currently eyeing her like she was an annoying insect.
Shizune attempts to play friendly. “I have extra gloves, if you need them.”

Summary
For a prompt from Fascinationex: “ninja are meant to be able bodied, but plenty of them grow to experience chronic injuries and illnesses due to the nature of their work. exposure to poisons and dodgy joints are common, for example. a lot of medicine and man hours go into keeping good ninja in working order -- but when a ninja becomes a missing-nin, she starts having to deal with these problems independently. and that's when problems arise.”
In Mist, you fought until you couldn’t, and then you got a desk job. Unfortunately “desk job” doesn’t translate well into “missing-nin.”
