Chuunin is the middle rank of ninja in our village. When you're just out of the Academy, you're a Genin; then you become Chuunin, and when you get really good, you become a Jounin. My team-mate Kakashi-kun is a Jounin now.
That's great! I don't even have a job here. I probably should find one, but I think I'm too young for most jobs.
Well, I used the word soldier because right now, in my time and world, my country is at war with the other great nations and their hidden villages. I'm a medical ninja, which means my job on mission and patrol is to stay out of direct combat as best I can and heal the wounded afterwards.
In peacetime, though, we can get all kinds of missions. Spying for intelligence on other nations, escort missions for diplomats, protecting the lords of the country. More mundane missions as well. When we were younger my team-mates and I often had to weed somebody's garden or muck out stables.
I guess it is harsh compared to the lives of civilians. It was my own choice to become a ninja, though. I wanted to protect my family and friends.
Thank you! The war ends, though. In my future, but in the present for some of the others from my village, who are also here. And Naruto-san, my friend who wants to become Hokage, the leader of our village, wants to bring peace to all the nations.
Yes, ninja can be hired for any mission. We rarely refuse one.
I don't know... It wasn't much of a choice for me. The village needs all the help it can get.
There are some things that are never okay.

Ah, well. Right now, I work as a maid.

Well, if you're young, then you're not obligated to have one, as far as I know.

No, I know, I get money from the City which is amazing! But I wouldn't mind working.

Well, then! For me, it's sort of a new experience, and it keeps me busy.

I'd like to work too, but I think I'm too young for most places.

How old are you, then? Maybe Turnabout Café might hire you...

I'm 13. I haven't worked that many different jobs - I do know how to be a medic, and I can fight a bit as well.

... so young and already a soldier.

I've been a soldier for several years. I never questioned it before I came here.

... I'm sorry, it just seems so harsh to me.

Ah, so basically, it's sort of a one-for-all kind of job?
And it's an admirable choice.

I see! Interesting, how different the meaning of a word can be in different places...
I still think it's admirable - that you want to work hard for the sake of others.
