Hey guys, its Kelsey. So this is going to be my first solo story. I gotta say though, I might not get all the points I would like to, across to you. In my head its a good idea. I might not be able to write it down well though. If anyone has any ideas of how to make my ideas better put through please don't hesitate to review. I actually would love it.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT, NOR EVER WILL, OWN NARUTO(as much as I wish it wasn't true)
Anyways! Without further ado, I bring you my first independent story.
It was a bright sunny day in the village of Konoha. Perfect day for the chunnin exams a pink haired shinobi though. This pink haired shinobi was Sakura Haruno. Current Gennin and apprentice to one of the legendary sannin, Tsunade. Sakura knew that she was already at chunnin level but all of her friends from her academy years, minus 4, were all going to take the exams together so if even one person wasn't ready to take them, it held the whole group up. The minus 4 of their friends was of course Shikamaru, who passed earlier when they first had all taken the exams, Neji, who was currently a jounin due to specialized promotions from Tsunade herself, Sasuke, who was still with the traitorous snake bastard, Orochimaru, and Naruto, who was still on his ("extended")training trip with Jiraiya.
Naruto, I wonder how you are doing. I bet you are really strong now. I hope you come back to us soon. Sakura thought.
"Hey forehead!" An obnoxious voice called from the entrance to the stadium. "What are you daydreaming about? I've been calling your name for some time now."
Sakura looked over to see her best friend/rival, Ino. "Oh, sorry I was just thinking about some stuff. Looks like this chunnin exams are gonna be pretty tough. Good thing we didn't have to do preliminaries like last time. Straight through to the 3rd round is much better."
Ino nodded then looked to the board posted of all the finalists names and their opponents. "Ooh! Look Sakura! Kiba vs. Chouji! This should be good. I really hope they don't hurt each other too badly though."
Sakura sighed. "Yea but don't worry too much, I'm pretty sure Kiba is saving his really tough whooping for when Naruto gets back."
Ino looked at Sakura confused and watched as Sakura went to sit down in the finalists area upon waiting for their fights to begin. "Why would he save it for Naruto?"
Said pink haired shinobi looked at her friend with an exasperated look before diverting her attention to Kiba and Chouji, now positioned in the middle of the arena. "Because Naruto has been gone for much longer then he said he would be gone. Kiba is starting to think he's never coming back. He's getting pretty pissed that Naruto hasn't sent any word of where he is, or where hes been."
Ino looked thoughtful for a second then directed her attention to the two boys as well.. They had just gotten down to the match area and were already laying down some ground rules such as: No killing, no major life threatening injuries and no fake outs.
This is definitely going to be a good fight. Sakura thought as she looked at the sky. Naruto, I wish you were here. This is exactly the type of fight you would love. Before she watched the two rash boys' fight she noticed a bird flying past the sun in the sky and she suddenly though of Naruto and how quiet it had been without him. She sighed and regained her composure as her eyes rested on her two friends fighting right in front of her.
It looked like Chouji had the upper hand in this fight as he hit Chouji with another right hook then a knee to the stomach. As he went in for another punch, a left hook this time, Chouji came in with his own right punch to counter Kibas only to blow both boys back, skidding across the ground.
They both used their legs to push off of the ground towards each other again but just as they were about to connect, the north wall of the arena was blown up by an astounding amount of impact.
"What the-" Sakura yelled, quickly jumping to her feet. She jumped from the balcony she was currently on, waiting for the dust of the impact to clear. Her eyes widened as she recognized the crumpled body lying against the wall.
"N-N-N-N-NARUTO!!" She stammered, running towards him only to run into some kind of invisible force around him.
"Don't touch him. I've got him now. There is nowhere to run!" Sakura heard a voice. She turned her head. Suddenly scared of what she saw.
No way! No way Naruto could have- Sakura panicky thought, looking from Naruto to the voiced stranger.
"Itachi Uchiha..."
OOH! CLIFFY!!(sort of)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my first chapter, I gotta say, it was kinda hard staying on track to write this. It's 11:30 at night during summer while I'm in a softball tournament. Not that easy but I got it done so its okay.
Again, thanks for reading it and I would love if you guys would review and tell me what was good, what wasn't so good and maybe some tips on what I could do better.
Thanks guys!
Talk to ya soon!!
Love, Kelsey
