Little Kunoichi and her pet bunny cheer him on as he searches and searches, until finally Chibi Samurai realizes that the perfect pet has been with him all along.

Little Kunoichi, a young ninja in training, is frustrated. Inspired by tiny Chibi Samurai's practice and skills, she works harder than ever and makes a friend. Together, they show the power of perseverance, hard work and cooperation when they wow the crowd at the Island Festival. Ninja skills don't come easily to Little Kunoichi. She needs determination-and a special friend-to unleash her power!
