Inari ran up to Naruko and looked up at her with his eyes shining looking at the girl who became his sister in a few days Shin was there as well looking out into the distance. He had seen plenty of death and violence in his young life but right now he needed to forget about it as he was taking in the scenery before turning back it would take some time before he had to leave and the bridge had yet to be completed. Then there was Naruko looking over at the girl with sun kissed hair made him feel happier like happiness was an illusion he couldn't figure out. Said girl blushed whenever she got the boy with steel grey eyes looking her way. Shin knew a girl like her must have men lined up outside her door just waiting for her.
"Where will you head next if you don't mind me asking." Kekashi asked the boy.
"I hadn't given it much thought however I think I could stick around you guys for the right reasons." Shin gestured towards Naruko.
"Oh finding our little Naruko attractive are we."
"I don't see how anyone couldn't she certainly is a cute little spitfire."
"You do realize she finished dead last in our class right." Sakura deadpanned.
"Oh right how rude of me not to introduce myself my name is Shin and you are." Shin turned towards Sakura.
"Haruno Sakura and you haven't really clarified why you like Naruko." Sakura shook Shin's hand.
"You'd have to be deaf, blind, and dumb not think she wasn't cute."
"Well if debating aside I think you should stop before Naruko faints." Kekashi noted that Naruko was a very dark shade of red at listening to Shin talk.
"Hm are you sick oh my you should lie down or you might pass out." Shin was already over by Naruko helping her sit down she wouldn't say it front of Shin's face because she'd feel weird but she found him attractive as well.
Sosuke was glaring at the way Shin acted around Naruko he was so in love with the girl and yet he didn't know how to confess his feelings towards her it was sickening and then there was the Baka known as Naruko.
"Hm well is anybody else hungry cause I am starving." Shin asked as his stomach sounded like a he swallowed a lion.
One hour and a delicious meal later everybody got ready for bed Shin was given a green hoody to wear. It took a week for the bridge to be completed and for Sosuke to heal up he would still need a few more days of recovery thankfully Shin knew a thing or two about basic first aid speeding up the healing process.
Walking home Naruko and Shin were talking to one another over one topic or another it was training some new ways to strengthen the body Shin new a lot in this field as his body was just groomed towards Tiajutsu just like might Guy except for Kekashi's rival Shin never uttered anything about flames of youth.
"Shin if you wouldn't mind coming with me and we'll get situated alright." Kekashi led Shin to the Hokage's office which the man now faced the true enemy a Ninja and the rest of the world had to face the dreaded task of paper work.
Two hundred and fifty pages and a lot of cursing and swearing later from the Hokage and general information being filled out about Shin it was finally dark and Shin was given a place to stay as well as being assigned to team 7 until another squad needed him or such. Shin politely excused himself from the office and began making his way home.
The next day he woke early hoping to get some training and find Naruko to see if she was doing as he suggested yesterday. Turns out finding her wasn't all that hard however she and her squad were doing a mission D-ranked by the looks of things. Shin noticed Naruko trying to hard like she couldn't just breathe he'd have to teach her a breathing exercise for that. Turning on his heel he decided to train a bit first came the stretches first his hands doing a hundred hand grabs and then his arms by doing five hundred punches and then his legs by doing the splits between two trees while throwing Kunia at a target and then some push ups and sit ups and he was ready to go as he was about to begin a very familiar presences was felt. Deciding to follow it he soon found a trio of Suna nin the sand siblings themselves there was a rumour that Gaara the red headed boy who never slept was dangerous. It was time to put the theory to the test as Shin threw a kunia at Gaara's head with the sand demon grabbing the projectile out of the air with his sand.
"Seems the stories are true about you sand demon." Shin came out of the shadows with Temari and Kankaru staring at the boy as if he had some sort of death wish. Sakura and Sosuke were watching the boy as well.
"The same could be said about you Lucifer's Wolf." Gaara was looking into the eyes Shin there were stories about Shin as well depicting him as someone who had the devils own luck and once he was on a mission he pursued it until it was completed.
"What are doing here all the way from home." Shin asked showing no sigh of any hostility and Gaara smirked at Shin's foolhardiness.
"Came here because the Chunin exams are happening here if your wondering."
"Hm I heard about that but I thought you three would already be Chunin's given your skill level." Shin knew about the three sand siblings reputation.
"We've been kind of busy." Temari deadpans.
"Well I won't keep you oh and I'd watch myself if I were you, you never know I just might have to kill you three and I'd hate to do that especially," Shin addressed all Suna Nins before looking at Gaara. "When we haven't had a chance to see which one of us is best."
The Suna nins left and Konahamaru and his friends along with Naruko, Sakura, And Sosuke were wondering how crazy Shin truly was.
"Well I suppose we should head to the Exams we're for all intents and purposes predisposed at the moment." Shin speaks nonchalantly.
"Why'd you threaten that guy and what do mean we." Sakura asked Shin worried for his health.
"Oh I suppose you weren't told yet but I'll be a part of team 7 in case you were wondering and I heard stories about Gaara had see if they were true." Shin informed Sakura like it was an everyday occurrence Naruko was looking at Shin and noticed Leaf forehead protector.
