Chapter Four

The Chunin Exams

"Wow what a day!" Cho Uzumaki said out loud, staring up at the clear blue sky above her. Missions were over with for the day, consisting on nothing but simple chores. Or course, Cho didn't care about that, but her brother and fellow team mates were another story. Naruto had made it very plain that he wanted to do something more important on their missions; Sasuke and Sakura agreed.

//So why did they have to fight?// Cho sighed, recalling what had happened just a mere few minutes ago. To make things short: Sasuke and Naruto fought, Sakura made a move on Sasuke, and Sasuke blew her off. Where did Cho fit into this you ask? She probably wouldn't have if not for Sasuke's:

"Let's go Cho,"

Ever since that moment on the dock, Sasuke had come to enjoy Cho's company. Now, Sasuke would always ask Cho to go places with him, especially after an argument with Naruto. Cho was shocked at the sudden change in their relationship (if that's what you want to call it), but at the same time, she was happy that she was becoming friends with him.

The female Uzumaki was not the only one to be shocked by this change. Naruto couldn't understand why Sasuke had had a sudden interest in his little sister; he had voiced his opinion to the black haired ninja, but Sasuke blew him off. Sakura probably took it the hardest, she was constantly interrogating Cho about what was going on between Sasuke and her; Cho couldn't seem to convince Sakura that Sasuke and her were simply friends.

Luckily, Cho was able to leave with Sasuke without having to be questioned by the other two, but at the same time, she didn't feel comfortable leaving them there.

"Something wrong?"

Cho was pulled out of her thoughts by Sasuke, who was staring at her as they walked down the street. The blonde haired ninja sighed, "Sasuke, why must you be so cruel to Onii-chan and Sakura-san?" she asked. Sasuke went back to staring in front of them, "Sakura needs to realize that I'm just not interested, and as to your…brother…" Sasuke hissed, but stopped when he saw the look of irritation in Cho's clear blue eyes. Sasuke quickly dropped it after that, letting the two walk in silence for a bit. He had learned over the short time that Cho had been here that she did not take well to those who insult her brother. The blonde yawned and placed her hands on the back of her head.

"Hey," Sasuke said, making Cho nearly jump, "do you sense that?" Cho blinked, not quite sure what Sasuke was referring to. Sasuke sensed something in the air that didn't feel at right. It felt like someone's chakra, a strong type, but he wasn't quite sure.

That's when his female team mate felt a sudden change of chakra flow in the area too; Cho closed her eyes in hopes of honing of it. "Yeah…new chakra…3 different ones I think…but one outweighs the others…" Cho opened her eyes and turned to look at the Uchiha, "I've never felt these chakras before, this can't be good!"

Sasuke nodded; in all honesty he was surprised that Cho was able to tell that much about the chakra; then again, Cho was full of surprises now a days. "Let's go, I think it was back there," Sasuke said, running back the way they came, Cho quickly behind him.

They ran a little while longer before they at reached a split in the road; they had no clue what direction to take, "you go that way, I'll go this way," Sasuke said; Cho nodded and they separated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be several hours before Cho would meet back up with Sasuke and the others. By the time that Cho had reached the point where the one major chakra was, it has already vanished to where the other two were located. That just so happened to be where Sasuke had gone. Sakura soon explained that 3 ninja from the Village Hidden in the Sand had arrived here and were attending the Chunin exams, "Chunin exams?" Cho blinked, "what's that?" Naruto shrugged, "no clue, but it seems to be important."

"In any case, these three should be interesting," Sasuke said, the others taking notice of the smirk on the Uchiha's face. Everything was silent for awhile as the four waited for Kakashi-sensei; perhaps he could enlighten them on these exams.

Eventually, Kakashi-sensei showed up, no one but Cho believing that he got lost on the way there. "So guess what? You all will be attending the Chunin exams!" Kakashi-sensei said, handed each of them a sheet of paper. "These exams will help you to get to the next level! I expect you all to do well, everything you need to know is on the sheet of paper."

"Wow, this is incredible," Naruto said happily, reading his paper while walking to his three comrades. "It says here we have to be at the exams at our old school at three on the third floor," Sakura said, reading the letter out loud. "This will be a great chance to meet some amazing ninja's," Cho pointed out. "And fight them as well," Sasuke added, receiving a smile from his team mates. Finally the four reached the three way street, they said their good byes and set off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(The next day)

"Hey what's going on here?" Naruto asked, trying to see what was going on in front of them. All four members of Team 7 had arrived right on time and had walked up to the third floor. However, when they got towards the room where the exams were to be held, they were met by a crowd of disgruntled ninja's.

Cho placed her hands on Naruto's shoulders while standing on her toes, trying to get a better look up ahead, "what's up? Is the room not ready?" Cho asked of curiosity. "Doubt it," Sasuke said, pushing his way to the front, Sakura right behind him. "Hey don't forget us!" Cho whined. Naruto closed his eyes and shook his head out of calm irritation. "Let it go sis," Cho looked below at her brother, "if anyone can get us in there, the teme can."

The blonde ninja nodded as she looked around for a gap; finally Cho noticed an opening up to the front. Naruto saw it too, grabbing his sister's hand and getting them up to the front, occasionally Cho would apologize to people if she or her brother pushed someone too hard or stepped on their foot. When the two seals reached the front of all the commotion, they found their other two team mates dealing with what appeared to be another ninja team.

There were three people. One was a girl, most likely around their age, had brown hair pulled up into two buns. She wore a pink Chinese top and black Capri's. Another was a boy who seemed to have taken interest in Sakura. He had a weird black bowl hair cut and large black eyes. He wore a green jump suit, orange leg warmers and his headband around his waist. And on top of that, if he didn't look strange enough, his eyebrows were huge! They look like they were about to eat his eyes. The final member of the group seemed to be the one Sasuke was having the confrontation with. This one was yet another male, his hair was brown and long, something most girls would die for. He wore a cream button up shirt and black knee length shorts. The strangest thing was his eyes, they were white, slightly a lavender color.

"What's your name," the guy asked, his voice was stern and he didn't seem the type you want to mess with. Naruto growled at the guy, clenching his fist's. Cho could see a fire in his eyes that made his sister smile //Poor Naruto Onii-chan// Cho thought. "I don't have to answer that," Sasuke replied, the guy's face scowled at the response. Sakura didn't feel comfortable with this, so she leaned over to Cho, "hey, let's get them out of here before something starts," she whispered, receiving a nod from the other female ninja. Soon they grabbed the boy's hands and dragged them down the hall.

They walked down the hallway for awhile in silence before Cho just stopped. "Hey guys, I'll catch up with you in just a moment ok?" The three turned to look at the blonde female. "Where're you going sis?" Naruto asked, Cho rubbed the back of head sheepishly. "Oh, gotta use the powder room, don't worry though I'll catch up to you." The three turned to look at each other and then back at her. "Well…if you're sure…" Sakura said slowly. "Excellent, I'll see you there then," Cho said happily, dashing down the other hall; the others soon left for the room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were not having so much luck when they left Cho behind. They were attacked by the big eye browed kid from earlier; he knocked Naruto out, defeated Sasuke (as well as insulted him), and hit on Sakura. And things didn't get any better when they arrived in the testing room. The place was crawling with older ninja's, including the ninja group from the Village Hidden in the sand. And Cho was no where to be found; this was not good.

And then on top of that, all of Naruto's old class mates were there; the fighting started the minute they all arrived there. Naruto felt like he was going to explode, he was so sure that he had gotten rid of all these people, including one Kiba Inuzuka. He was also concerned at how the others would react when they found out that he had a twin sister. //Someone to kill me please// he thought to himself.

Things just kept going down hill, until Naruto and the others met a ninja by the name of Kabuto. Unlike the other ninja's in the room, he welcomed them with open arms, not to mention gave them some important information on some of the competition. That being said though, when things were going fine, Naruto had to open his mouth and insult the other ninja's. The ninja's from the Sound Village didn't take well to that, so they took their anger out on poor Kabuto.

Kabuto now sat on the ground in pain, just throwing up from the bizarre hit that the sound ninja gave him. Sakura and Naruto were at his side trying to comfort him; Sasuke and the others watched in fear and amazement at what had just happened. "Tch, didn't see that in your cards did ya?" the girl ninja chuckled, smirking at the sight of the injured Kabuto. Her fellow team mates joined her in laughing at Kabuto's pain. "Hey leave him alone you weirdo!" Naruto growled, not realizing that it was too late to take it back.

"Little brat…bet ya can't dodge this either!" the guy said, charging at the three in front of them. //Oh no! Not good// Sasuke thought as he watched the ninja go after Kabuto again, as well as his other two comrades. Sasuke leapt into action, despite the fact that he most likely wouldn't make it there in time. "Night night!" the guy growled as he was about to attack.

In that instant a kunai had slashed through the air, just barely grazed his bandaged face before burying itself into the wall. Everyone stared for a moment at the kunai before a voice piped up. "Isn't that a bit low?"

Everyone in the room turned to see a young girl standing in the doorway. "Ah! Sis!" Naruto said happily at the site of his twin sister there; Sakura too showed off a relieved smile at her other team mate's presence. Sasuke however stared at her, slightly surprised at her accuracy with that kunai; it was such a slim fit to get it in-between the two groups of people.

On top of that, Sasuke, as well as the others, couldn't help but think at how cool Cho looked at the moment. She had taken to wearing a ninja outfit similar to her brother Naruto's; it was the same colors of orange and blue, similar style, but with its own feminine twist to it. Her jacket was sleeveless and it stopped below her chest, underneath you can see a meshed fishnet top. Her pants cut a little bit above the ankles while she had her shoes. Along with it she wore black, fingerless gloves; she had the spiral on the back of her jacket, but the front on was a butterfly with spiraling wings. She stood there with her one hand at her side, her other still out from throwing the kunai. Cho was smiling, but her eyes showed slight fire in them.

"What did you say?" the sound ninja growled, his hands clenching together. Cho smiled as she calmly walked into the room, past Naruto, past the ninja, stopping at the wall before she turned to him. "Don't you think it's a bit low to attack someone before the exams even start?" Cho giggled, pulling her kunai out of the wall and twirling it around. The ninja's body began to tremble in anger, but Cho's face stayed the same, showing no fear what-so-ever. "Why you little…" he growled, but Cho cut him off. "If I were you I'd hold the energy for the finals and not for such awful tricks," she replied, completely ignoring her opponent's anger and made her way to the other team members. The sound ninja's, having enough humiliation, went back to where they sat and kept quiet.

Cho kneeled down, "how are you doing? You look like you took one for the team," Kabuto chuckled and looked at her, "no I'm fine, but I have to admit, I probably would have been a goner if you haven't shown up." The female ninja rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "gee thanks, but seriously its no big deal."

At this point Sakura stood up straight and placed her hands on her hips, "and just where have you been? There's no way you just went to the bathroom!" Sakura declared. Cho got up with an uneasy smile, "ehehe, would you believe that I got lost on the way here?" Sakura lost it, "What?! Are you serious, of all the stupid things…"

Sakura continued to rant at the uneasy Cho; the other teams on the other hand were whispering about the girl who blew off the Sound ninjas. "Who is that?" Kiba Inuzuka asked, staring at her with wide eyes. "Hm? You don't know? That's Cho Uzumaki, our 4th team mate and Naruto's sister," Sasuke said passively. "WHAT? How can someone that cute be related to that moron?!" Kiba exclaimed, his dog Akamaru barking in agreement.

Meanwhile, "incredible, that kunai throwing of hers was so clean, not to mention she wasn't scared at all when the sound ninja confronted her," Temari of the Sand village said to her two brothers, Kankuro and Gaara. "She's got guts I'll give her that much." "Not mention she's kinda cute," Kankuro chuckled, receiving a heated glare from both of his siblings, "what?"

"All right Sakura knock it off," Sasuke sighed, getting tired of hearing Sakura scream at the poor girl. "But Sasuke-"Sakura said in utter surprise as he walked past her and stood next to Cho. "Just let it go ok?" Sasuke asked; Sakura blushed and stared down at the ground in embarrassment.

"Not so fast!"

The four team mates looked up to find the green suited ninja from before landing from the second floor in front of them. "Ugh! It's the creepy guy from before!" Sakura gasped a look of disdain and fear on her face. Cho had to blink at Sakura's sudden outburst, not understanding what was wrong with him, I mean, sure he had weird eyebrows, but that didn't mean she had to be rude. The boy stopped in front Cho, who stared at him with big, unknowing eyes.

"Your name, if you please?" the green suited ninja asked; this caught Cho off. "Uh, me? It's Cho Uzumaki," Cho replied, unsure of why this person wanted to know her name so much. The ninja stared at her for awhile before a blush came to his face, "you're very pretty."

Naruto's eye twitched, Sakura looked like she was about to throw up, and Sasuke was about to punch someone. Cho on the other hand just looked at him with wide eyes before she gave him a sweet smile, "why thank you." The others stared at her as the boy took her hands in his, "it's a pleasure to meet you Cho-kun, my name is Rock Lee, a fellow ninja such as yourself." Cho bowed her head a bit to show courtesy, "its nice to meet you too Lee, wow, if you're here you must be an amazing ninja!"

Lee closed his eyes and let a knowing smirk come to his face, "well I must admit I know a move or two…but if you here that must mean that you are a great ninja as well?" Cho shook her head but laughed, "no, no, I don't think so." Lee leaned it a bit, tightening his grip on her hands, "don't be so modest, such precession with that kunai shows how talented you are!" Lee's face then went stern, "seriously though, I consider you to be a very pretty girl, and being a good ninja just adds to the attraction."

"Would you consider being my girlfriend?"

Everyone in Team 7 and some of the others (all boys) flipped out. Cho simply gasped; her brother and the others waiting for her to blow this guy. "Are you kidding? Of course I will!" Naruto felt he was about to pass out at what he had just come out of his sister's mouth. "But I must confess," Lee turned to look at the freaked out Sakura, "my heart belongs to your team mate Sakura Haruno." Sakura gagged, "oh my, that's too bad," Cho said in fake sadness. Lee sighed, "I truly am sorry, but it can't be helped!"

Things between them were quiet for a moment before Cho made a noise, "oh idea!" she then leant in and whispered in Lee's ear; everyone tried to hear in but with no avail. Lee gasped and turned to look at her, "are you sure?" Cho smiled big and placed her hands on her hips, "but of course!"

"Then it's official, I can now call Cho Uzumaki my girlfriend!"

"What the hell just happened?" Sakura gurgled out, her face pale from all the ridiculous things she had just heard. Naruto growled "I don't know, but I'm about to kick Fuzzy Brows big green a-"

"All right everyone settle down! It's time for the Chunin exams to begin!"
