Chapter 3: The Second (and Third?) Test
Starting with an author's note, mmhmm.
Hi, yall! Thank you, those 200 people that read this story and those 3 who alerted it! (Help add more, ya?) REVIEW PLZ!
The last two chapters were fun to rewrite (not really. Just explained things) And this Chappie is funner, considering whats not happening.
Find Gaara some cookies, because he'll be travelling to the land of lightning with Naruko within 5 chapters. Why? Read on, then!
I'm trying for a new update every four days.
I've started a poll in which you vote for a pairing For Naruko on my profile! Vote or review you answer! The poll closes at chapter 10.
I DONT own Naruto, but my OC? Different story.
Naruko stared out into the forest, where the next test will held.
"The stealth test. That's a fun one." a voice said behind her.
She spun around to face the boy, and stopped, as she didn't recognize the face. The boy, obviously 12, was really tall for his age, almost 5 and a half feet. He had almost translucent white hair that glowed in the light, and golden reverse teardrop looking pupils. On the side of his face was a tattoo of a red dragon roaring at the sky. "Who are you?"
"Oh, you must not recognize me. I'm Kyra Azayaka, immigrant from the Nation of Lightning. And you are Naruko Uzumaki, Class B herbalist in the making. Enjoys pranking, ramen, herbs, and those leaf things. Do you have any more of those?"
"How'd you get a Bingo book?" She asked, pulling out another two leaves, handing one to him.
"I swiped one from an Anbu." He said, holding it up.
"Really?" She looked at it and pulled out her own. "I got this from Hatake Kakashi himself." She pulled out another two books. "And these are his first edition copies of Icha Icha series."
"Wow. You got me beat." He said, laughing.
Naruko laughed too, and leaned against the wall behind them.
"Do you know any jutsu?" He asked, leaning against the wall beside her. "I could teach you a few things."
"Psh, from you? Yeah, right." She scoffed. "I've created my own system of travel around the village via jutsu."
"Then why didn't you use it to make it on time?" He asked pointedly.
Naruko scowled. "Touche." She stepped away from the wall and went into a fighting position. "You want to spar to pass time?"
"You bet!" Kyra said, taking off his shirt and getting into a position. "Ready?"
"Ready!" She charged, striking at his chest with a closed fist. He dodged, attempting to counter with a helicopter kick.
Naruko blocked it, flipping backwards in time to escape the second blow. She rubbed her arm, in pain but alive. She crouched into a feral position, pouncing at Kyra as he sprinted at her. Making a full collision, the two rolled along the ground in each others arms. They both grinned, embarrassed.
"Now that the love birds seem to be done with... whatever they were doing... Let's start the second test." Mizuki's familiar voice said. Several catcalls followed, and the two stood up, blushing. "We'll start this test with Azayaka Kyra. There are ten bullseyes, and ten bells. You have to hit at least 6 targets, and trip no more than 4 bells to pass."
2 hours later...
Mizuki put up a list against the wall, saying "Those who passed line up against the wall by the front door of the school. Those who didn't, you know if you passed the first or not."
Naruko looked at the list, spotting several familiar names among the passes.
NAME | TOTAL BULLSEYES | TOTAL WIRES NOT TRIPPED
KYRA AZAYAKA | 9 | 10
SASUKE UCHIHA | 10 | 7
TENTEN | 10 | 6
NARUKO UZUMAKI | 6 | 10
KIBA UZUMAKI | 8 | 9
GYKURA UZUMAKI | 9 | 8
NEJI HYUUGA | 7 | 8
ROCK LEE | 7 | 7
SHINO ABURAME | 7 | 7
INO YAMANAKA | 7 | 6
SHIKAMARU NARA | 6 | 6
CHOJI AKIMICHI | 5 | 3
Naruko turned around to find Lee staring at her intently. She blinked, startled. "Yes, Bushybrows?"
"There is something different about you, but I can't put my finger on it." He said, stroking his chin.
"Okay, then, 'brows." Naruko shoved past him, forcing her way through the crowd. By the time she had made it to the school, the mysterious teacher had stuck her head out of the door.
"Hey, Naruko! It's time for your 3rd test. Are you ready?" She asked, motioning to come in.
"I was born ready, lady." she said, taking a casual walk after her.
The lady opened a door into a room composed of just a desk covered in bandannas, three teachers, and a wooden floor.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Iruka snapped. "Get a move on! It's the clone jutsu!"
Naruko gulped and moved to the center of the room, and performed the snake handseal. "Clone Jutsu!" The was a flash of blue energy, and there was three perfect clones of her before, just a millisecond later, they exploded into a cloud of smoke that blew out the windows of the school and shook the school violently.
"Naruko?" Iruka said somewhat eerily nice.
"Yes, Iruka-sensei?"
Thus endeth another chapter. Will Naruko pass or fail? What will Naruko do if she fails? Read on!
