Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto but I do own the plot.

Chapter One-

Meeting a new ally?

Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto were training hard. Going into the Chunnin exams they needed as much training as possible being rookies. Tomorrow was the written exams and they were nervous. Well, Naruto and Sasuke weren't showing it but Sakura was doing her best not to show her nerves. Sasuke stopped for a moment to see two Sand ninja sparring.

One is using puppets, the other using a sword. The puppet user was a girl. She had long brown hair which was back in a pony tail. She had dark blue eyes and was defiantly focused. The girl was wearing black leggings with a blue skirt over it with slits all the way up the sides so she could move. She wore a blue shirt, with a sweatshirt over top. The boy had shaggy brown hair that seemed to get into his face a lot. His eyes were also brown. He wore blue shirt with a brown pants. Sasuke looked away for a moment and threw a kunai which landed dead center of his target. He smirked. He looked back at the three…wait there had been two a minute ago. He watched this. The two that had been sparring had actually bowed to their teammate, yes bowed.

This female had long black hair that had a purplish tint to her hair and went down to her waist. Her bright eerie green eyes contrasted with her hair greatly and her pale skin seemed to make her hair even darker, if that was possible. She wore entirely black, even her sweat jacket which was zipped up almost all the way. The shirt underneath was black as well. "Guys I told you there's no need to bow I'm your teammate not a sensei or anything."she said. "I need a sparring partner but I've beaten both of you too many times."she added.

"Spar one of them?"suggested the boy with brown hair. He did look slightly relived as if not wanting to spar his teammate. He glanced at his other female teammate who looked equally relieved that she wouldn't be sparring her teammate.

The black haired female sighed. She looked over at team 7 looking rather uninterested. "An Uchiha is over there."she commented simply to her team who's heads jerked up and looked over as well. "Interesting..."she muttered.

"Planning to fight him?"asked the brown haired boy. "Looks like he's got a fan girl. Look at pinky."he said indicating Sakura. "She's not bad looking..."he added to himself.

"I'll fight you."said Sasuke having heard their conversation. He saw his two teammates stop also and looked over at the three sand ninja waiting for a reaction.

The black haired female nodded. "Fine, although it is polite to introduce yourself before asking for a fight."she said.

Sakura and Naruto had now joined Sasuke,one on each side. "Well, I'm Haruno Sakura, that blond kid is Uzumaki Naruto, and this is Uchiha Sasuke."she said. When she said Sasuke's name the pink haired ninja gave a giggle and girlish squeal.

All three of the sand ninjas rolled their eyes at Sakura's reaction to Sasuke's name. "Okay this is Outani Saki,"said the black haired girl pointing at her brown haired female teammate. "The guy is Sasarine Ruke, and I'm Takaya Katsuki."

Sasuke nodded. "Doesn't Katsuki mean blood?"he asked.

"It does..."she said simply. "That doesn't really matter though." She took a defensive fighting stance. "You wanted a fight,you've got one."

Sasuke smirked. "Alright."he said. He ran a her kunai in each hand throwing them at her. He stared in shock as the kunai just missed. Katsuki.,he noticed hadn't moved an inch although a smirk had appeared on her face.

Katsuki smirked. "Whats wrong,you look surprised."she said. She threw a kunai and shirkin at him which he managed to dodge. She yawned as if to provoke him and it seemed to work.

Sasuke formed the hand signs for grand fire ball jutsu and did it. He thought it had at least hit although the Katsuki he had seen had apparently been a clone because it vanished with a burst of white light that blinded him momentarily.

Katsuki was hiding in a tree near by. She jumped down why he was having trouble seeing and sneaked up behind him putting a kunai to his throat. "I win."she said smirking. "I thought it would be a bit more impressive then that."

Sasuke growled in annoyance. He hadn't seen his coming at all. "Yeah you got lucky."he said. Those kunai before shouldn't have missed. There was something wrong with the way they moved,they swerved. He'd think it over later. (AN: Sorry it's not a very good fight scene if you have any suggestions feel free to review)

Katsuki put her kunai moving away back towards her team. "So you guys going to the Chunnin exams?"she asked. Saki and Ruke looked at her wondering what she was planning on asking.

Naruto grinned widely and nodded. "YEAH WE ARE,BELIEVE IT!"he yelled.

Saki looked at her female teammate. "What are you getting at?"she asked noticing the way her teammate's gaze was focused on the three other gennin that stood before them.

Katsuki nodded. "Okay. Well,this should be interesting..."she said a small smirk lingering on her face. "Well you guys know that there is a practical bit,right?"

Sakura looked surprised. "There is?"she asked.

Ruke nodded. "Yeah,Katsuki what are you getting at?"he asked.

Katsuki sighed. "Yes there is. Anyway what do you say we work together on the practical. I'd like to see your full potential."she said to team 7.

Sasuke glared at her and was about to refuse when Naruto interrupted. "Yeah okay."Naruto said.

Katsuki nodded. "Okay we'll see you tomorrow at the first test then."she said and walked away her teammates following her.

"Wait!"said Sasuke. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?"Katsuki asked although her teammates had already started to walk.

"Win and stop those kunai."said Sasuke.

"I have a special kekei-genkei that lets me move things with my mind."Katsuki said. She walked away leaving the three gennin there.

Naruto grinned. "This is going to be so cool!"he said.

Sasuke nodded. "Hn. This will be interesting."he said.

Sakura nodded in agreement. "Well guys I'm going to head home."she said. "Bye Sasuke!Bye Naruto."she said waved briefly and headed back towards her home.

"You handled that fight well."said Ruke when Katsuki caught up with her two teammates.

"It wasn't as easy as it looked."she replied.
