Grounded Ninja Gamer Sisters

Naruto

You two are grounded. No concerts, no video games, no ramen dates. Nothing.

Mavuika

But dad, the new Genshin update drops tonight! I'll miss the login bonus!

Ikuyo

And... our band has a show tomorrow... at the cultural festival...

Hinata

You both snuck out last night to that concert. Rules are rules.

Mavuika

(Mom's distracted... if I can just grab my switch...)

Ikuyo

Mavuika, look - mom left her keys on the counter. We could sneak to the garage...

Naruto

Oh, and I changed the wifi password. You're not going anywhere tonight.

Hinata

Also, I installed parental controls. Try anything and I'll know immediately.

Mavuika

(They've activated the ultimate jutsu... family grounding style: complete isolation technique...)

Mavuika

(This is so unfair! They don't understand anything!)

Ikuyo

The festival's tomorrow! Our first real gig!

Mavuika

They grounded us like we're five years old!

Ikuyo

Keep it down! They'll hear us!

Mavuika

(The window faces the neighbor's roof... if we time it right...)

Ikuyo

(Wait... is that... mom's old forehead protector?)

Mavuika

I've been practicing my lock-picking skills. Dad never locks his office during dinner.

Ikuyo

(If this is what I think it is... we might have a way out after all...)

Naruto

Shadow clone jutsu! Every exit is covered. You're not leaving this house.

Hinata

Breaking into your father's office? Using the family scroll? You've crossed the line.

Mavuika

(The transformation jutsu scroll... I just wanted to sneak out as dad...)

Ikuyo

Mom saw everything... the forehead protector, the window escape plan...

Naruto

This scroll contains classified village techniques. You could've exposed our village secrets!

Hinata

But since you both love sneaking out so much... you'll spend tomorrow helping at the academy.

Mavuika

(Not the academy... not teaching snot-nosed genin...)

Ikuyo

And the cultural festival...?

Naruto

Oh, your band's performing. But you'll be there as chaperones for the academy kids. Every. Single. Set.

Mavuika

(My phone... where is it...)

Ikuyo

Kita, are you missing your...?

Naruto

Looking for these? Confiscated. Both of you.

Mavuika

Dad, please! The academy group chat has the lesson plans!

Ikuyo

(My bandmates are texting about tomorrow's setlist...)

Hinata

Oh, I'll forward any urgent messages. After I review them first, of course.

Naruto

6 AM sharp. Academy duty starts early tomorrow.

Mavuika

(They forgot about the old landline in the garage...)

Ikuyo

Mavuika, I found mom's spare keys. Meet me at midnight.
