"I wonder… do you have it, young as you are… the Will of Fire?"~Sarutobi Hiruzen (Sandaime Hokage)

The third round of the Chunin Exams was about to begin, with a quick glance around it was clear the stadium was full; the crowd was anticipating the match between Sasuke and Gaara of the Sand. Though I was more interested in Naruto's match against Neji. Fearing the disappointed look on the young child's- no shinobi's face if he lost. 'Though it wouldn't keep him down for long he seems to have his mother's attitude both the good and bad qualities.' I thought thinking back on when he painted the monument.

Suppressing a chuckle I glanced at the Kazekage something was off with him I just didn't know what and since the Chunin Exams where a time of peace for the villages, at the moment with nothing to hold against him there was nothing I could do. Looking back on the arena I watched as Genma explained the rules to the participants; another reason for my distrust the fact that Hayate the original proctor for the final exam was murdered during the one month break. I suppressed my thoughts and focused once more on the arena.

The first match between Naruto and Neji was about to begin, when I felt a chill in the air and suddenly an extreme burst of chakra far more than any genin, chunin, and maybe jonin could ever make and there was a flash of light in the center of the arena.

Sasuke's chidori met my rasengan full power I fueled more chakra in to match; I looked into his eyes as our jutsu battled one another. I saw hate, pain, and a little insanity; I found it hard to believe that those eyes belong to my old friend. 'Could he still be saved? Is he really gone? What if I try harder?' as those thoughts went through my head I had to remind myself of something.

'I have been chosen to be the next Hokage. Sasuke is a threat to the village and that makes him my responsibility. Soon Baa-chan will step down and hand the hat to me then I won't be able to come out and fight him. I would have to have someone else risk their life to take care of my problem.'

The two jutsu started to become unstable I tried to yell a warning to my teammates Deer and Bird as well as the Kazekage who had shown up recently which wasn't a big surprise since we were within Suna's boarders and Sasuke was a S-ranked missing-nin. But the two jutsu blew apart before I could. Sasuke and I were thrown away from each other, I lost sight of him as my back hit a wall and then the blinding pain of my head cracking as it to smashed into the wall.

As consciousness was slipping away I noticed Bird race to my side, and a single thought ran through my head. 'Weren't we in the desert?'

As the light dimmed I noticed two people sent flying away from each other; one hit the roof of one of the stands and the other hit the lower wall of the arena and lay limp against the wall as the one who hit the roof was already gone. Three others seemed to appear and one ran to the side of the injured person, as the others backed up around the two keeping their eye on the stands or more specifically the shadows.

Quickly summoning a squad of ANBU and sent them to hunt down the one that disappeared, after they were gone I jumped down into the arena and approached the group. I sensed my guards quickly move into every shadow around the arena ready to protect me at a moment's notice. Taking in my surroundings I saw with relief that the two genin that had been left the arena for their match had been escorted- or as what the ANBU most likely did was grabbed them and jumped away much to the genin's displeasure, let's go with escorted out of the area.

Observing the group I saw that three of them were wearing masks, more specifically ANBU masks. The one standing in a defensive position wore a deer mask and had spiky brown hair that was pulled back in a ponytail.

The one at the injured man's side, a kunoichi, she was healing the man and wore a bird mask, what he noticed was her hair she had shoulder length pink hair. As far as he knew only the Haruno's possessed pink hair.

The last mask wearing man was the one the kunoichi was healing, and I haven't seen a mask like his in a very long time not even ANBU will wear a mask of a fox anymore not since the nine tails attack. When I tear my gaze from his mask to his hair I nearly stop approaching them thinking I had seen Minato, I quickly shook off my haunted feeling that came from seeing someone with spiky sun blond hair besides Naruto.

The man without a mask was a little shorter than the deer masked man that stood beside him; he has spiky auburn hair, green eyes, has black rings around his eyes, has the kanji symbol for love on his forehead, and has a large gourd on his back. All and all he looked like the older version of one of Suna's genin, practically the ruthless Gaara, who's match everyone wanted to see.

Coming stand two meters away I saw the genin lookalike's eyes focus on me and the other turned his masked toward me. With a small smile and knowing full well I had a dangerous glint in my eyes I asked.

"Now who might you be?"

And that wasn't where I expected to end but its fine for a Prologue. See yeah.
