A/N: First story, don't be harsh...Chiaki is the main character here, and she is an OC. And she's a genius. Plot takes place after the Gennin exam. Might be a SasukeXOC or a shikamaruXOC. See how it works out...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Boohoo.
"And here are the results of the Gennin graduation exam! First place, Sasuke Uchiha. Second place, Sakura Haruno." Iruka sensei read out from his clip board.
Chiaki placed her head on the table, covering her head with her hoodie. She couldn't care less about the class rankings. In fact, she already knew the order. First place would be Sasuke Uchiha, second place would be either Shino Aburame or Hinata Hyuga. And if she didn't estimate wrongly, she would be at the 19th place, just one mark above Shikamaru.
True enough, Iruka-sensei read out, "19th place, Chiaki Yamane. 20th place, Shikamaru Nara. 21st place, Kiba Inuzuka. 22nd place…"
A small smirk appeared on her face. She had predicted her scores correctly for the twelth time in a row. It wasn't much of an achievement, but it was just a simple game to rid of the constant boredom that she was experiencing. She stared at her desk mate Shikamaru Nara, who was soundly asleep, even drooling on the table.
There was only one word to describe the both of them. Geniuses. To her, that word was more of a curse than a blessing. With her superior intellect, she knew a lot of things that gennins her age shouldn't know. For example, Naruto being the host of the nine-tailed fox. Or that his father was the fourth Hokage.
And that was precisely why she had been sent to the village hidden in the leaves, Konohagakure.
She was originally a Gennin in Sunakagure. However, the higher ups in Suna were planning some kind of invasion in Konoha during the Chunin exams, so she had been sent to gather intelligence by posing as a Gennin. She still remembered the day she was informed about her mission.
"Chiaki Yamane, I suppose you know why we have called you here." Baki, a jounin in her village said.
Chiaki surveyed the room mentally. Besides the Kazekage, there were three other gennins in the room – Kankuro, Temari and Gaara. And the chunin exams were going to happen in Konohagakure soon. Then, it clicked.
"You're going to assign me some mission that involves Konoha. Are you…planning an invasion?" she asked hesitatingly.
There was silence in the room, followed by a soft chuckle by Baki. "You're indeed a smart one, child. You are right. We are going to transfer you to Konoha as a Gennin and you're going to gather intelligence for us. You'll tell us the village's layout, where all the guards are positioned and everything about the city's infiltration security."
Chiaki absorbed all the information quickly. Did she want to take part in a war that would kill thousands of shinobi? The logical answer would be no, but there was a nagging feeling in her heart that she didn't have much of a choice.
"Let me help you in your decision, child." The Kazekage suddenly spoke up, his creepy voice sending shivers down her spine. "If you agree, your parents would be safe. If you do not…" he trailed off, ending his sentence in a sinister tone.
See, she just knew it. "I don't have a choice, I get it. When do you want me to leave?"
"Today. You would go by your real name, Chiaki Yamane, and you would pose as a wandering ninja trying to find a village to settle down in." Baki informed her.
"How do I convey all the intelligence I gathered to Suna?"
"You really don't miss out anything, do you? Around three months later, three of them," he pointed to the three sand siblings, who were starring at Chiaki curiously, "and I would come to the village for the chunin exams. You would tell us all the intelligence you gathered then."
"I understand." Chiaki sighed as she left the room.
And that was how she had been forced to attend the boring academy class that she was currently sitting in right now. Hell, she had learnt the transformation jutsu at the age of 8! Konoha's environment was totally different from Suna's.
"I will now announce your teams. Team 1….Team 7, Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki and Chiaki Yamane." Iruka-sensei read out.
"What? Why am I in the same team as him?" Naruto shouted as he pointed at Sasuke.
Chiaki snorted quietly. "Good question. Why was the only one who failed the exams sorted with the one who got the highest score? Obviously to even out the teams, nine-tailed fox."
After Naruto was harshly put down by Iruka-sensei, they were dismissed. However, before Chiaki could walk out of the class, someone tapped her shoulder.
"Chiaki Yamane, we would like a word with you." The entire girl population in the class except Hinata surrounded her.
"Don't bother. I have better things to do than talk with you bunch of Barbie dolls." She said, eyeing Ino's long blonde hair.
"How dare you! Don't you dare lay a hand on Sauske-kun! He is mine!" Ino yelled.
"I'll promise not to touch him if you can catch me." Chiaki smirked as she concentrated chakra in her legs and jumped to the third story of the academy building.
"What?" gasps of surprise could be heard as Chiaki jumped into a vacant room at the third story.
"Suckers, wasting all your time stalking a boy when you should be training. You'll all die during the chunin exams at this rate." Chiaki sighed, thinking about her mission as a spy in Konoha again. Then, she sensed a chakra presence and she turned around just to see….
Sasuke Uchiha staring coolly at her with an onigiri in his hands.
Haha Chiaki is a bit of a cold person. (All the Suna ninjas kinda have a cold personality you know...must be the environment they were brought up in)
