History

Realizing the travelers are shinobi, Ran begs Neji, Tenten, Naruto, and Menma to rid her village of the bandit clan tormenting it. Their initial refusal, bound by an ongoing mission and the need for their own village's approval, leaves her crestfallen. She watches quietly as her brother Nan leads the ninja to a field of graves, and her spirits lift when Naruto and Menma promise to help regardless.
