I broke it to them that night during dinner. Thankfully Sasuke, and Itachi hadn't told mother about the Anbu bringing them home.

"Father."

His eyes rose to meet mine, "Hn?"

I took a semi-deep breath, "The hokage has assigned me to fill a genin team who lost one of their members. I will be accompanying them to the chunin exams in Suna."

I could see him glowing in pride but mother had dropped her fork in her fright. I don't understand why she's afraid. I won't die during the war. I'm a genius and people know to stay away from those, well, unless they want to die.

"Good. You see, this is how you should be." his gaze flickered to my brothers and they looked down at their feet. I felt bad making father disappointed in them like this, but it wasn't something i could fix.

"You'll be missing you brother's birthday if you go."

I frowned, i knew that, but there was nothing i could do about it. The chunin exams were soon, and i dought i would be given another opportunity like this one, "I am sorry, but i may never be given another chance to take the exam. I highly doubt there is a sensei out there who would lose a genin and want to send an Uchiha to the exams. This one was not of the sensei's chose. The hokage will not be doing this for me again."

Mother looked at her hands which she had filed in her lap, "Brother? What's a chunin exam?"

Father shot him a glare and i looked to the boy sitting next to me, "It's a event where genin from all the hidden villages gather so they can take a few tests. If they pass they move up a rank and become chunin. After that they can take the jounin exam."

He nodded in understanding, but didn't look up. Father was clearly unhappy with him asking a question, "Did you know what it was Itachi." he demanded and Itachi flinched back.

"I'm sorry Father. We haven't learned that in the aca-" he was cut off as father slammed his hands down on the table.

"What did i do to get two useless sons! At least Bishamon is strong!" he pushed himself up from his chair and walked from the room, leaving his nearly finished meal behind.

I stood and placed my empty plate in the sink, "If you excuse me mother. I'm going to bed."

She nodded and i left the room in silence. Mother looked pained, and both my brothers had a look of sadness on their faces. I found father standing outside my door and sucked in a silent breath.

"We're going to train. Follow me." obediently i did as he told.

Mother managed to threaten the Hokage into giving me a few days to spent with my family. Father did take up most of my time as he trained me but i had a few hours a day to spend with Mother, Sasuke, and Itachi.

However i was leaving in a half hour and mother was worrying about everything. She had asked if i had everything at least ten times and gone through the list about twenty times.

Sasuke and Itachi just stood on the sidelines watching her run around like a headless chicken. Father didn't find it important to see me off so he wasn't here. If he had been mother wouldn't be acting so worried.

I gave her a smile, "I'll be fine mother. Don't worry so much. I wouldn't go if i wasn't sure of my own abilities. I know my limits."

She smiled and a few tears leaked down her face, "I can't help it. You're my little boy."

I raised an eyebrow, "You have Itachi and Sasuke. Wouldn't you be more inclined to baby them? They aren't yet shinobi."

She narrowed her eyes, "Is something wrong?"

I blinked in confusion, "Why would you think that?"

"Get going before i tell the hokage to make somebody else go." i waved a small farewell to Itachi and Sasuke then left before Mother went through with her threat. I arrived at the village gates five minutes earlier than i was instructed to meet with the team i was filling.

I was surprised to see that two of them were already there. I received glares from both of them and immediately knew i was not a welcomed team mate, even if it was only temporary.

Both of them had brown hair that fell to their shoulders despite them being boys. Their eyes were a bit narrowed because of their identical glares, and they both had eyes the color of dirty river water.

They were clearly twins.

"Sensei's always directly on time Uchiha." they spat my last name with disgust and i looked to the tree where i sensed a jonin chakra signature. At the exact time we were supposed to meet he pooped in front of the gate.

I looked him over and frowned. The man was a nara, and a rather enerjetec one as well. You know what they say, 'an energetic Nara can end you'. It may not be those exact words, but it's something like that.

"Hello. You must be the Uchiha kid who's supposed to join our team for the chunin exams." i nodded. He spoke to me nearly impossible but the dislike was still there.

"You do not need to force yourself to speak with me. I understand that you don't like me." his facade immediately fell and he was glaring at me harder than both his students combined. He seemed angry when his glare didn't faze me.

"You Uchiha's all think you're so high and mighty don't you."

Ah, there it is. Sutch big change from the way he had been pretending to act, "We must leave now if we wish to make it to Suna in time for the first exam."

His eye twitched in his anger and hatred, "stop acting like you're better than us!" i glanced towards the twins who had just yelled at me. Hm, i wonder what makes them think i'm acting in such a way. I didn't think i was doing anything wrong.

"I'm sorry, but i was not aware i was acting in such a way."

I sideswiped a punch and their sensei fell face first because his anger was throwing of his balance, "you Uchi should just die!" he yelled after standing back up and spitting the dirt from his mouth.

I looked at the three of them and my mouth formed a straight line, "Please do not prevent us from leaving any longer. We are cutting it close."

They all glared at me as hard as they could, but followed me out the village gates nonetheless. I think this trip is going to be even worse than the annoying man i was guarding.

It took us three days to get to Suna, and i'm disappointed in the fact that i was unable to get the twins and their sensei to move faster than the slightly above average civilian pace they were using.

I believe though, that they just wanted me to get annoyed and make me fail the tests, but if they slowed us down to much i would have just bodyflikered the entire group or put them under a genjutsu to make them run faster than they ever thought possible.

Fortunately though, i didn't have to do either of those. We made it to Sauna with a few hours to spare. If they had gone faser we'd have a few days. It's their fault, that we're later than we should be and that their exhausted.

They're both supporting each other in order to walk through the village. Their sensei is fine and i am as well. The fact that they're older than me and i still have way more stamina than them says a lot of things about them.

"You three go head to the exams. I'll get a hotel room and sutch." the twins nodded, still too tired to form words. Their sensei gave me a glare, "Oh, and you. You better make sure they pass, because if they don't i'll bead your pretty little face in."

"If this is how you treat the genin under your care i should talk to the hokage about removing them from your care." i then swiftly turned and walked after the twins who were surprisingly heading in the right direction of the first exam.

The man stood frozen in the middle of the street not moving an inch and his glare making people stay a good five feet away from him at all times.

Hm, that really got to him. I wonder if i actually got something right, or perhaps he knows that if a Uchiha went to the Hokage to speak about him it wouldn't turn out good for him no matter what the results were.

"Hey, useless little Uchiha! Carry our stuff!"

The twins somehow gathered up enough energy to hold out their things. I simply walked past them without a word, "You don't want us to tell Sensei you were being mean to us right! So do as we tell you and we won't say anything to him!"

I stopped and turned to look at them, "You are shinobi, you should be able to carry your own things." Then my eyes narrowed, "or perhaps your family wants you to forever be stuck in the genin corps, doing D-ranks?"

They made weird squeaking sound as their faces turned a few different colors. The next thing i new they had managed to throw their things at me, "We told you to carry our stuff so do it!"

I side stepped their things and continued walking, "you are a disappointment to your family are you not?"

They were fumeing from behind me but none the less continued walking, now carrying their things and their anger fueling their energy. It took us about ten minutes to reach the first exam and there were already a few teams there. One of them was a team from Kahona that was no doubt from the same graduating year as the twins.

The five of them began talking leaving me standing by myself in a room full of genin from other villages.

A few teams arrived over the time span of an hour, and the rest arrived within the lasts thirty minutes.

Overall the genin teams participating went something like this:

Kahona - 5

Suna - 9

Iwa - 3

Kumo - 2

Kiri - 3

In total there are 22 genin teams participating, so 66 genin were present to try and become chunin as well as show of their villages strength.

"Alright you little bugs." i looked up at the weird makeshift stage that had been set up in the front of a room. A large man dressed in the normal Suna shinobi garb was looking over the room. Only his two brown eyes and a few strands of brown hair visible through the layers of brown wrap he was wearing.

"Welcome to the first exam! I am your examiner so you better do as i tell you! You got that bugs!"

He was met with silence and his eyes narrowed in faked anger, "I said, 'you got that bugs!" he yelled even louder this time and was met with 65 terrified yes's, "Good! Now for the first exam you will be taking a test! It's a simple test! Kill one person in this room! If you're entire team lives, you pass this exam! Knocking other people unconscious is fine as well!"

When nothing happened he yelled with as much strength to his words as possible, "I thought i told you to start!"

The room imently burst into activity, teams jumped to stand back to back and a few teams from the same villages grouped up. I sighed immediately as a entire genin team came towards me, probably thinking i'd be an easy target.

I waste no time at all in cutting their throats with a kuni. I looked around only to find the entire room bustling with activity. Several people were already downed and a few more fell every minute.

I found the twins hugging each other in a corner as a genin from Kumo went to kill them.

I body flickered in front of them and forced him to his knees. I rested a kunai at him neck.

"So who wants to kill this one?"

They both squeaked in terror, and one of them slowly pushed my hand forwards into his neck. Both of them squeezed their eyes shut, and the man yelled in pain because they were going so slow.

I began laughing and i saw the pure terror in his eyes as they faded to dull lifeless grey, "you're supposed to go faster than that, so they don't feel too much pain. You just tortures a guy to death."

There were tears spilling down their cheeks and they refused to open their eyes, "I'll be right back, i need to catch one more."

I turned around and pulled an unexpecting suna Kunoichi towards the twins. The one who hadn't killed the other one reached a trembling hand out and pushed the kuni into her neck faster than the last one had.

"See, that wasn't to bad."

Though i know that for them it was probably the worst thing they've ever done. They were still shaking and hugging on another with terror. I shrugged and looked around. There were a few dead genin but most of them were just unconscious. There were about 13 genin teams left.

Kahona - 3

Suna - 8

Iwa - 1

Kumo - 0

Kiri - 1

The proctor looked around amused and began clapping, "Congratulations on passing the first exam you bugs!"

I looked at the genes making up the remaining teams and realized that most of them were fine and looking at the dead bodys around the room like it was normal. I then looked at the twins who were taking the exam with me.

I sighed and sat down.

Another man nearly identical to the first, the only difference is this one's eyes are a way darker brown, "i'm your proctor for the second exam. Please follow me." he was much calmer than the last proctor. We all followed him and even the twins managed to followed him out of the room.

He lead us to a smaller room with a extremely tall ceiling. There were ropes hanging from the ceiling, with knots in it every few feet.

"Each team has three ropes. The first six teams to get each of their teammates to the top will move on to the next exam. Go chose your ropes."

The teams all broke off and i heard the two still shaking boys to the corner. I handed each of them a rope, "Both of you have to try your best but if you fall i'll be sure to catch you. If that doesn't work i'll just carry you two to the to…" i furrowed my eyebrows.

They looked at me and i sook my head.

"Nevermind. I'll just body flicker each of you to the top of the ropes. Then all you have to do is hold onto the rope until they tell us to come down." they looked at the top of the ropes and gulped but nodded anyway.

"Alright. You may begin." i looked around as the rest of the teams grabbed their ropes and began climbing up. I could already tell that a few of them would have no trouble getting to the top.

I graped the twin closest to me and body flickered to the top. He latched onto it like his life depended on it. I then let go and fell a few feet before body flickering back to the ground. The second twin looked even more terrified than the first and stepped away from me when i reached out to body flicker him.

I sighed, "Look, do you want to make it past this round or do you want to stay down here and fail?"

He gulped and looked away, "You Uchiha are so annoying. I wish all of you would just die." he lifted his arm and i grabbed his hand. He was really contradicting what he just said.

I body flickered him to the top as well and then instead of returning back to the ground and bedyflikering back up i just jumped and grabbed the rope. I then climbed up the last few feet to the top.

"A team from Kahona made it to the top first." the rest of the teams turned their heads to look up at us. The other two teams from Kahona looked at us in surprise. Two from each team had made it up but the one they still needed to reach the top kept slipping down two feet for each three they climbed.

I internally smiled. I'll make Father proud of me so that he leaves Sasuke and Itachi alone. I don't want him to hurt them in training like he hurts me.
