Chapter four
Yuki and I continue to race to the entrance until we hear father yell out to us. We quickly turn and see the others walking toward us.
"Yuki and Mizuki you two need to calm down. We are not in a hurry." Father says sternly. "Plus I need to tell you something about our Uchiha friend."
"Yes father." Both Yuki and I say.
"During the Chunin Exam, I am planning on murdering a team of Kusagakure Genin to impersonate the leader Shiore. I want you guys to test Sasuke-kun abilities because in the Forest of Death I will be giving him the Curse Seal of Heaven."
"Why Sasuke?" I ask "what makes him so special to be your next host?"
"Well at one point I tried to take over Itachi's, his brother, body. That did not work out to my advantage, and in order to capture the sharingan I will need an Uchiha body or their eyes. Aside from Sasuke-kun, his brother is the only Uchiha's left. Sasuke will come to me seeking for power to kill his brother."
"So you just want us to test Sasuke's abilities and get him to come to you to train." Yuki says as he thinks for a second. "That won't be hard. We just have to keep him alive, correct. Do not worry father, we won't kill him, but we will test him."
"That is what I am planning."
We continue walk with the others until we make it outside. 'It is a beautiful day today to go to the Hidden Leaf.' I think as father makes the signal and we start jumping from tree to tree toward the leaf village.
"Listen up every one." Father says while still going through the trees. "We will be at the leaf village in about half an hour. We will be getting a place to stay, so try and not be noticed, will you?" He says referring to Yuki and me.
We all nod and continue to jump through the trees. As we get closer to the leaf village we start to notice a lot of other ninja from all kinds of villages. Yuki points out a kid from the sand village. The kid looks as dangerous as us, with his dark raccoon marks around his eyes, red hair, and a sand gourd on his back. His pale green eyes even say death.
Yuki and I quickly leave that kid in the back of our minds and catch up to father and the others.
Before we make it to the entrance father stops. "Kabuto you know the drill. You go on ahead since you will be a leaf ninja."
Kabuto nods and takes his other two Leaf ninja with him. We then walk into the village with father and the other Sound ninja.
"Hello may I ask who is in what team and what village are you from?" says a leaf ninja at the gate.
"Yes we are from the Hidden Sound Village. These three are a team while these two are the other team." He points first at team Dosu then at Yuki, and me.
"Okay you will be staying at the-"
I start to look at the other ninja since this man is boring me. I feel Yuki walk closer to me and he says, "These other ninja look like weaklings right?"
I look at where he is looking and agree with his statement. All the other ninja are much older than us, but they look like they haven't trained in weeks. 'Pathetic' I think
"Okay guys follow me!" says father. We begin to follow him. We continue to walk until we reach this little building. "This is the hotel in which we are staying at. Okay. You guys can go roam around and check out your competition, but remember be smart. Think what will I do? so that means no fighting or killing we don't want to reveal our identities. You will have time for that later."
"Yes sir" We all say.
Yuki and I begin to walk around trying to get away from the other sound ninja. It is obvious they don't like us, so why even bother with them. We continue to walk around until we see this giant poster that catches our attention. It is an ad for the Chunin exam. Yuki and I continue to read it until we here a familiar voice.
"Hey! What are you two doing here?" says an annoying voice behind us.
Yuki and I turn around and to our delight we see little Naruto. He is in the same orange jumpsuit with his headband on his forehead.
"Well, if it isn't little Naruto! Are you going to participating in the Chunin exam?" Yuki says with a smile.
"Of course I am! I am going to be the next Hokage so I have to take the Chunin exam!" Naruto says with a determined face.
"I doubt you will pass. I bet you can't even win a battle on your own." Yuki say coldly.
I notice Naruto get a look of defeat, but he quickly brushes it off and says, "I will beat you! I will make it to be a Hokage!"
I smile at his remark. 'I hope this kid will make it far. He just needs better team mates.' I think as I see that pink hair girl running to him.
"Naruto what are you doing talking to them!" screams Sakura as she runs to him.
"Well if it isn't Sakura! How is that cut of yours?" I say with an evil smirk. Yuki also looks at her wondering why she is even here.
"Sakura what are you doing here they could hurt you again." Naruto tells her with worry in his eyes.
'I wonder if he likes her. Even if he does I bet she is too stupid to realize it.' I think with a smirk
"Oh! so does that mean you haven't gotten any stronger?" Yuki says with a smile.
"It was quite easy to attack her. Her defenses are way off." I say to Yuki
"Maybe if you guys just leave another fight won't break out." Says a voice from a tree.
Yuki and I look up and we see Sasuke sitting calmly in the tree.
"What was that Sasuke?" yells Naruto
"I said if you guys leave then you won't have to worry about fighting." Says Sasuke in annoyance.
I watch him from the corner of my eye and I notice that he can see our curse marks. I quickly adjust my shirt so he won't see. He notices this and continues to watch us closely.
"Well I am not going to back down Sasuke! I don't care what you say!" screams Naruto while he gets in a fighting stance.
"I am not interested in fighting you Naruto. I just want to see how strong Sakura has become." I say while turning my attention to Sakura. "I hope you've gotten stronger because the next time we fight I am not holding back. It will be to the death, and I am not the one who is going to die."
I watch her flinch at my statement and Sasuke stares. It is obvious that he wants to see if we truly are as strong as we say.
"Hey Uchiha!" Yuki says as jumps next to him and whisper in his ear. "If you want to get stronger we are the ones for you. We can make you strong enough to fight your brother Itachi." Sasuke flinches and stares at Yuki wondering how he knew this info. Yuki, noticing Sasuke is not going to answer jumps back down next to me.
"You better get stronger Sakura. Remember one of us will die the next time we fight." I say with a cold look, while she flinches. I smile and Yuki and I disappear in a puff of smoke.
I reappear next to Yuki in some other part of the village. He nods to me and we continue to walk.
"Did you see the look on Sasuke's face?" Yuki says with a smirk.
"Yes. What did you tell him?" I say with seriousness.
"I told him to look for us to get stronger." Yuki replies with a serious voice as we continue to walk. "He didn't respond, but I know he will consider it. It is like what father said Sasuke wants power."
"Good. We should go tell father now, shouldn't we?" I say to Yuki.
"Yeah we should."
We continue to walk silently in the direction of the hotel. We take notice to all the ninja that we are going to be competing against. There are other Leaf ninja, Grass ninja, Stone ninja, and even some Cloud ninja.
"What do you think of the ninja, Yuki?" I say as I continue to look at the other ninja.
"Well… I say we can take them. They don't look that strong." He says with a small chuckle.
"I agree Yuki, but I think that sand ninja kid is going to be a challenge." I say as I see him in the distance.
"Which kid?" Yuki says with confusion.
"That kid over there with the red hair and black raccoon eyes." I say as I point in his direction.
"Oh! Him! Yea I heard he was really strong, but come on we can take him! There is no person we can't take!" Yuki says with determination.
"Your right, Yuki! We will win any battle!" I say "did you hear the rumors about him though?"
"No what are they?" Yuki says with interest.
"They say that he is the Jinchūriki of Shukaku" I say with worry. "He was born to be a secret weapon. He is pure evil. You think we are evil, but I know it will be a challenge to kill him."
"Really! I heard about that. All he does is kill. He doesn't even kill in defense. If we give him the chance he won't hesitate to kill us." Yuki says.
"That means we have to keep our guard up, Yuki." I say with a smile. "That means no joking around."
"Now I can't promise that." Yuki replies.
As we turn a corner I could see the hotel in the distance. There are a lot of ninja all around the hotel. It is obvious that this is one of the few hotels to keep the ninja for the Chunin Exam.
"There's the hotel, Yuki." I say confidently.
"Yup! I'll race you inside!" Yuki tells me as he starts walking fast.
"No way you're going to win!" I say as I begin to run to the hotel.
Yuki and I begin to run faster and faster. Soon we are at neck and neck and I turn to cut right in front of him and turn right into the hotel. When we entered the hotel we saw father staring at us with an angry snake like look. We stopped dead. 'Even though we can win in any battle there is one battle we don't want to be a part of and that is with father' I thought.
"Hello Sensei! We have something important to talk to you about." Yuki says to Father with a frighten voice.
"Of course, Yuki. Lets go up to the room to talk about this." Orochimaru says as he walks to our room.
Both Yuki and I follow him into the room as I give Yuki a worried look. Yuki gives me a thumbs up and mouths that we are going to be okay. We stop right behind father and watch him. He slowly turns around and watches us.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Fathers ask us.
"Well, we met up with Sasuke and while Miz was distracting the other two I told Sasuke that if he wants to defeat his brother then he would have to talk to us." Yuki says with triumph.
Father looks at me and I nod back agreeing with what Yuki has said. Orochimaru gave a look of approval and said, "Good work. Now, the first part of the Chunin Exams will be the test then the battles will begin. So make sure you are ready."
"Understood father. Whoops!" as I put my hand to my mouth. "I mean sensei!"
Father pats the top of my head then walks out of the room.
"Good night Yuki-kun!" I say with a big smile as I go into my bed.
"Good night Mizuki-Chan!" he replies as he climbs into bed.
'Great… the first part of the Chunin exam is a test. Out of all things. Well, all I have to do is make it past the test. That shouldn't be too hard.' I think as I start to doze off. '… I wonder if Sasuke will take our offer… and did he notice my curse mark… I wonder…'
