The Juubi growled at the sage of six paths, barring his way to her ten pups. The sage sighed, and tore the Juubi into nine parts, each a new biju, and scattered them. He then, with the last of his energy, took the physical bodies of her pups, leaving them as souls.
Then, decades later, ten children came to the cave, drawn to it by some unseen force. They stopped as they felt energy mixing with their souls. The pups' souls were combining with the children, making them hanyo.
The Children became the leaders of the village we now call, Kihakegakure; The Village Hidden in the Soul.
Clapping came from the group, each with a smile on their faces. "Perfect Hannah! We now have stories to our background and to the creation of the village."
I nodded. "But now we need new names. I'm thinking the numbers we represent. Here is the list I have of our new names.-"
Hannah- Juu
Nate- Kyuu
John- Hachi
Molly- Shichi
Scott- Roku
Ashley- Go
Steena- Shi
Amy- San
Tyler- Ni
Jacob- Ichi
Everyone nodded in satisfaction at the new names, and we all shook on the decision.
-Twelve years later-
I sat at my desk in the ten-part office-room we had. My pen thumping against the hard surface every few moments, making a toneless rhythm. The door opened to reveal Hana, my main wolf summon, with a scroll in her mouth. I reached out, and she dropped it into my hand before trotting off. I opened the scroll-
Dear Hitokage,
The Chunin selection exams are being held in Konoha this year. Sealed inside are some forms that the genin will be required to sign to participate. We will be excited to see how strong the village hidden in the soul is.
-signed
the third Hokage
I unsealed the forms and grinned. The time to shine was now!
-three weeks later- -in Konoha-
We all paced through the alleyways of Konoha. I summoned Hana, and she shrunk into a small puppy that then climbed up my shirt and sat there like Akamaru does with Kiba. Her two tales twitched in excitement as we began our walk through the roads on our way to the exam building.
A loud yell made us halt our walk. "YOUR NOSE IS GROWING SENSEI! You always lay it on too thick."
I smirked. "The banshee has spoken, the cards have been played. Shall we watch the show my friends?"
Hachi laughed, "You are the only one I know that uses words that confuse the meaning, Juu. But anyways, sure. Let's watch the show."
We hopped into a tree, a few branches above the emo king -without his knowledge-, silently laughing at the pummeling that the blonde jinjuriki received from the pink buffalo of a fan-girl. Konohamaru bumped into Kankuro, causing the sand genin to stumble slightly. Kankuro snarled, pissed at the cause of his mishap. "That's gotta smart!"
"Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted as said brat got pulled up by his collar.
"That hurt snot-face!"
Temari huffed. "Knock it off, you're gonna get it as it is!"
Sakura shook in fear, "I-It was my fault… I-I was fooling a-around…"
Naruto made a funny face, "PUT HIM DOWN YOU BIG APE!"
San, Shi, Go, Shichi, and I giggled at his expression, while the boys just chuckled. Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at the ten of us, sitting just a few feet above him, probably wondering how we escaped his high-and-mighty notice. The girls and I rolled our eyes, looked at him, and flicked him the finger. His eyes narrowed and he turned back to the fight, just to notice that Kankuro was about to punch the kid. Sasuke threw one of the rocks from his hand, and Hachi secretly controlled it to hit the poor puppet-master's lower regions.
I giggled even louder at this, and if it weren't for Shichi, I would've fallen out of the tree. Kankuro dropped Konohamaru and turned to see us giggling above Sasuke. Te then saw Sasuke tossing a rock up and down. "Oh look, more brats." We stopped giggling and flipped him the bird. He glared at us, but to no avail. "Come down little squirrels! You think you're pretty smart, don't you?" He pulled crow off of his back, prepared to use it.
The nine members of my group and I turned to Gaara's Branch. "Kankuro! Don't!" He said. "You're a disgrace to our entire village."
Kankuro shivered in fear. "G-Gaa-ra…"
Gaara continued. "It annoys me that you'd lose control in a quarrel with children. Have you forgotten why we came here?"
Kankuro pointed to the genin and kids over to their side. "But Gaara… They started it, the little one slammed into me!
Gaara just glared. "Shut up… Or I'll kill you."
Kankuro shivered, "Y-You're right… I-I was out of line."
Temari actually showed fear, "We're sorry… Okay Gaara? Really, really sorry!"
Gaara turned to Emo-king, "Sorry about my friends." He then sand-ported over to his siblings, scaring the crap out of Temari. "I know we're a little early… But we didn't come here to play around."
"I swear it won't happen again."
I turned to the group and sighed. "All of the fun is now passed. Let's go now."
"OK!"
-in the exam room-
I sat on a desk near the entrance where Naruto would enter. My nose crunched in disgust at the smell of snake that was almost radiating off the person beside me in waves. Now don't get me wrong, I know that this was Oreo-face but I had to keep a low profile. Ya know? Show fear of an individual for no apparent reason, could draw suspicion.
Go sat beside me with a shiver. "Oreo-face is scary Juu. I'm afraid of being butt-raped by the creep."
I patted her head. "No worry Go. Juu will protect you from the scary Oreo and his specks. I'd like to see the day when he gets his way with my sister."
Shichi nodded. "Yep. I'd light his $$ on fire quicker than you can say lollicon! (Lollicon- Japanese word for pedophile.)"
Hachi and Kyuu sat beside me, each had a hand on my shoulders. "Juu-sama, what do we do now? The Annoying Orange, Pink Buffalo, and Emo-King aren't here yet so the show can't get started."
I sighed, rubbing Hana's mussel, "They will arrive within the next few minutes. Their scent is nearing."
I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Oreo-face looking at us discreetly. San, seeing the same as me, squeaked and hid behind Ni. "Lollicon alert. Oreos are officially on my 'do not eat' list. Now I want Butterfinger."
I turned to the door as they opened, revealing the dunce trio. I sighed as Ino jumped Sasuke, squealing. "Sasuke! Where have you been, cutie? 3" She snuggled closer to him. "I could hardly wait! It's so exciting seeing you again after all this time."
Sakura turned pink. "Ino, you pig! Get your hooves off of Sasuke!"
Ino sighed. "Hello to you, too, Sakura. Still hoping the big, mutant forehead look is going to come into fashion, huh? How sweet. 3"
I turned to Go and Shichi. "They're more annoying in person than on the show. I truly wish to cut off their heads with a blood blade."
Hachi cut in. "Could I throw rocks at them in the forest of death?"
I answered without a second of thinking. "Well duh you dumbtard. Why else are we here if not to throw rocks at people's heads. There's a reason we're here and that's to get info on he-who-must-not-be-named."
" Voldemort? I thought Harry Potter killed him!"
"No you idiot. Voldemort and Snape's lovechild that never was."
I turned back to the rookie nine and saw Kabuto. "Would you guys…" The group turned to him. "… Do us all a favor and just shut up? You three gangs of would-be hot shots are all genin right? Kids barely out of the local ninja academy? All wet-behind-the-ears and runny-nosed! This isn't a school field trip, you know."
Ino grunted. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Name's Kabuto. So what? You kids need to open your eyes."
"Why?" Sakura questioned. Her reply was Kabuto pointing behind them. They turned to see some pissy looking Ame nin.
"Watch out for the group behind you. Their Amegakure-those-who-hide-in-the-rain- and they've got very short fuses. Everyones on edge, waiting to take the exam. I wanted to give you a heads-up before someone snaps and beats the crap out of you."
All the rookie shared scared looks between eachother, getting my to hold a hand over my mouth in an attempt to keep out the giggles. Kyuu turned to me. "You know... They're really sad. Even though we are newbies we don't act like we own the place."
I snorted. "That, my friend, is because we are the higher ups in our village. What did we expect? We expected the possibility of an exam similar to the Kiri one."
Kyuu huffed and we turned back to the idiots. Emo-King stepped up. "Do you also have dossier cards? Cards for each individual applicant?"
"Ha ha... Why? Someone here you have a particular interest in?I'll admit these are far from complete, but I've burned a set of dossier cards for the current pool of applicants... Including your team if you share and data you have on this person who interests you, I'll be happy to look him up and let you know what I have so far."
Emo-King answered. "Gaara from Sunagakure, Rock Lee from Konoha, and her." He pointed to me.
Hachi jabbed me in the ribs. "Ha ha loser." He said.
Kabuto held our three cards. "Here we are."
"Let me see them." Emo-King commanded.
"First up is Rock Lee... (You know all this... I am too lazy to write.)" Kabuto then shows gaara's card. "Then Gaara. (Yada yada... we know!)" He then showed Emo-King my card. "And now we have Juuchi Hogosha, from a newly formed village known as Kihakegakure- village-hidden-in-the-soul. She's fifteen, so about three years older than you. Missions to date: no d ranks, 35 c ranks, and amazingly, 24 b ranks. Since she is from a new village, means that there is little intelligence on her. But, like Ga-" He stopped, a metal ball had found it's way to the center of his forehead. It dropped to the ground and turned back into blood that then slithered back to me. I held up the deck of cards that Kabuto owned, having taken it from him unnoticed.
"Nice cards, but... I'm gonna have to take those." I then stuck them down my throat and swallowed them, taking their information with them. Shichi hit me on the back of my head.
"Juuchi! That was rude! Spit those back up!" Molly said while hitting my head, taking the false role of overly controlling big sister.
I glanced at Specks, who was glaring at me, then glanced at Oreos, who was watching us smirking. Turning to Shichi, I opened my mouth. "Do you really want me to spit it up? Cause I will if you really mean it."
Shichi squeaked and backed off. A cloud of smoke erupted from the stage. "WOULD EVERYBODY JUST SHUT UP?"
