"You monster"

"Get out of here"

"You don't belong here"

"I—ta—

"Itachi"

"Wake up, Itachi"

Itachi Uchiha woke up quick, and startled.

"Hey, its alright , It's just me" Itachi looked up, and saw his teammate, Suzoku Katsuki, staring at him, and he just smiled back at him. Itachi Uchiha, now at the age of 18, was getting ready to meet up with his teammates. He had made genin at the age of 12, and was still a genin.

"Hurry up, and get ready. Our sensei's waiting for us. If we get there late, we're going to get in trouble once again, and don't give me that face." Itachi sighed, got up, and began to get ready. Suzoku, who was two years younger than him, was a pain in the ass according to Itachi. Whenever they had team meetings, Suzoku would go to Itachi's apartment to make sure Itachi didn't ditch the team like he used to do before. He led the way out. It was raining once again in the Rain Village. As they were walking to their meeting place, Suzoku was talking to Itachi about their past mission, but Itachi's mind was somewhere else. He couldn't stop thinking about his dream. "Why can't I just stop dreaming about that? It's already been 10 years since….."

"Ah, man we're late!" Suzoku said as he was staring straight ahead. Itachi turned to look at his teammate, and sensei, who were walking towards them. Once they reached them, their sensei stared at both of them.

"Why are you late?" said their sensei.

"Its all Itachi's fault! He overslept and I had to go get him!" yelled Suzoku

"You didn't have to, you choseto. I never asked you to go pick me up." Said Itachi, in an annoyed tone.

"You ungrateful little brat! You should be-"

"Enough both of you! It doesn't matter why you guys are late. Let's just get straight to the point" said their sensei.

"Oh, that's right. Why are we supposed to meet today all of a sudden. I thought today was our day off?" said Vanille. She was the other team member. She had pink hair, blue eyes, and she was the youngest of the group, however, she acted the wisest. Suzoku always managed to act like a five year old boy. He would pull pranks, whine about mostly everything, and would laugh at everything. Itachi was the oldest of the team, but he was the most stubborn one, and was next to Suzoku when it came to talking back. He and Suzoku would argue over any little thing. They would start out having a calm conversation, but would end up turning into an argument, and would usually lead to a fight between them, but in the end, they will end up getting along. Well somehow.

"Oh right. Sorry about that, It was a sudden notice and I had to let you guys know as soon as possible." Said their sensei, name Riku. "But before we start, why don't we go to our training area." Riku began to walk towards the field, as the three followed. They were quiet for a while until Vanille broke the silence.

"So Itachi, how are your injuries? Are they better?"

Itachi looked up at her, and thought for a moment, "Oh, they're better. I still got a few scratches here and there but they're mostly healed"

"Oh well that's good. How about you Suzoku?"

"Hmm, oh me? I'm still badly bruised. My hand hurts like crap at times." He said, while holding his hand.

In their past mission,everything had turned wrong. They all got badly injured, and Suzoku and Itachi had nearly died. Luckily, they were saved.

They were finally at their area. They all sat down and turned to look at their sensei, To see what he had to say.

"so why are we here" asked Itachi.

"Well you see. Its that time again. You three need to take the Chunnin exams."

"What! Again?! Why?!" yelled Suzoku.

"Because you haven't passed it. You've taken it at least 6 times and haven't passed it. You-"

"And who's fault is that huh? Itachi?!"

"What? What did I do?" he asked confused.

"You know what you did! You always quit in the middle of test and because of you, we haven't passed it!"

"Its not my fault. We just haven't been ready for it. If I wouldn't have quiet, we would have been dead by now."

"WHAT! How would you know that! We haven't even made it past the first test!"

"Actually-"

"Can both of you be quiet and let our sensei finish?" interrupted Vanille.

"Well," continued their sensei, "You guys have to take the exam this time, and actually try to pass it Itachi. So I've signed you up for them"

They had all gotten interested in it know. There was only one question left: Where was it going to take place. Their sensei panicked before saying anything. Then looked at Itachi for a while and said.

"The chunnin exams, this time, is taking place in… The Leaf Vilage."

"WHAT!" yelled Itachi as his eyes opened wide, and just stared at Riku, while the everyone else stared at him.
