A/N: This is all I could write XD

Start of the Chunin Exams

Okay. I have to admit I am getting a bit homesick. If there was just someone one that I actually knew in person instead of from watching TV maybe it'd be better…

I turned my head to look in a particular tree. I glared at who was in it… Sound ninja. Damn. I almost forgot… this exam had so much crap in it.

I couldn't tell because of the distance but I think one of them is staring. The bandages around his mouth moved and suddenly the other two gave me looks too. I stuck out my tong. I seemed to do a lot of that lately…

I was pretty sure they were glaring at me now. I began walking back to Naruto's apartment while Sasuke and Naruto bickered.

I finally got there and opened the door and went in. I took out some of the rice I bought and put it in a sauce pan. I put in some water and put it o the stove and waited. When that was done I put it in a frying pan. I added some butter and some of the chicken I bought. I pulled out a spatula and pushed it around a bit then brought the other pan to the sink and washed it. The food seemed done so I place the pan on another burner and turned off the other one.

I made myself a plate and pulled out some chopsticks. I knew where everything was in the kitchen because I had cleaned it.

When Naruto walked in I was half done with my first plate, "Hmm… What smells so good?"

I stared at him. Oh great! Now I was never going to get a second plate! "Over on the stove… It's rice with some chicken…"

"I didn't know I had anything to make that…"

"You didn't. I volunteered to restock your food remember? I even ended up cleaning…"

"Really?" he stared to sniff the air, "Oh! Wow! Thanks a lot! Believe it!"

I sighed, "Well don't stand there yapping for the rest of the day!" I clicked my chopsticks together, "Make yourself a plate and eat!"

I finished my food while Naruto devoured the rest. Then there was a ring… They have phones here?!?!

Naruto ran to the phone and picked it up, "HELLO-!!!!… At the bridge tomorrow? Why?… Can't you tell me now?… At eight? Sure!… Bye Kakashi sensei!" Naruto smacked the phone onto the receiver, "I'm going to-"

"I heard…" I said cutting him off. I finished the rest of the dishes and put them away.

"Oh? Okay…"

I got up and walked toward the door, "I think I'm going to practice for a while…" I made sure my chakra stick was on my belt.

"Oh wait! I'll come with you! Believe it!"

-----

After Naruto dragged me to the training grounds I began kicking the log again with incredible force.

"WOW!!! It looks like you're about to brake it in half! Believe it!" Naruto yelled.

I stopped and thought about it. My strength had really increase when I got here. I looked back at him, "Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Well what are you going to do while you're here? Aren't you going to train?" I asked.

He looked and me, "Right! Uh…"

I gave him a questioning look, "Well?"

He began to run around. I guess he was doing laps or something…

I unclipped my chakra stick and grabbed it. I focused and it began to grow.

Naruto stopped and stared, "Whoa… How'd you do that?"

It took a while for me to respond because I had to stabilize my chakra flow. I finally looked at him, "Do you want to spar? A friendly match?"

Naruto stared at me then pulled out a kunai, "Your on! Believe it!"

We fought for a while. This was great because I could finally see how good I could do in combat.

I focused chakra to my feet . I jumped into the air then twirled the pole above my head while I came towards Naruto. He blocked my attack with his kunai. He held me up with his weapon then tried to punch me but I grabbed his hand and threw my weapon into the air then tried to kick him. I hit Naruto in the side and he went flying back into a tree. I didn't know I could hit so hard! He got up and charged at me and I caught my stick with one hand. I focused on the stick to re-stabilize it from the fact that I broke contact with it when I threw it into the air.

Naruto was still charging at me when he threw his kunai at me. I hit it back toward him with my stick and he jumped to the side to dodge.

"Wow Kitten! Your pretty good! How many times have you fought before?" Naruto asked me.

"I never been in a real battle of any kind before…" I said truthfully. I was always on vacation during the tournaments and when I got to fight in class, Sensei had all these rules so I wouldn't hurt anyone…

"You're lying! Believe it!" he gawked when I was no longer there.

"The fight ain't over yet Naruto! Don't underestimate your opponent!" I was about to swing at him but he hopped forward and grabbed he kunai that he dodged before.

I stared at him for a but then flipped backwards, then twirled my pole behind me then to the side then I held it out in my fighting stance.

Suddenly he did a hand sign, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

I swung my pole desperately at the rain of Naruto's that came at me, "No fair! I don't know any jutsu!" but it probly didn't mater anyway. I was doing a good job keeping them away anyhow. I tried to focus on them like meditating with your eyes open. Now which one is the real one? For some reason, when I looked at them with my mind there were a lot of hem that were back see through figures, but with my eyes I could see perfectly that they ere colored. With my mind, I tried to find the real one while still swapping clones away.

"There!"

I focused chakra to my then jumped while pushing up dirt while I did. I stared at the one Naruto that had color in my mind and headed toward him. Bunches of the clones jumped at me but I swapped them away. The rest got into fighting stances including the real one.

I finally got close enough to swing at him. I hit him and a bunch of the Naruto disappeared, but not all of them.

"I was right?" I couldn't believe myself.

Naruto got up and looked at me, "How'd you know I was the real one?"

"I don't know," I sighed. I began to charge at him while hitting away the remaining clones that came at me. It was like I could see them with out looking. I tried to do that one thing that I did before. I focused chakra around the stick and swung it at him while releasing it. I large gust made me fall backwards as I tried to keep him in my sight. Naruto jumped out of the way and a tree behind him fell over.

I stopped and gaped at it, "Okay then… Uh?"

"Wow Kitten! How'd you do that? Are you trying to kill me?" Naruto yelled.

I scratched the back of my head and laughed nervously, "Heh heh… Sorry Naruto."

He continued to stare at me and I bit my lower lip. Why the hell did I do that?

"So do you know how to use any other techniques?" Naruto asked.

I shook my head, "No. I just bought this weapon yesterday and finally figured out how to do that while I was fighting you…"

Naruto stared at me and I just shrugged, "Well you have to meet your sensei tomorrow right?"

"OH YEAH!!!" he ran off leaving me behind. I sighed and followed.

-----

I took a shower before bed. After I chatted with Naruto and reminded him to turn on his alarm clock, again. I listened to a few songs on my PSP and then fell asleep when I was done

The next morning I woke up before the alarm. It was still dark out so I meditated. I pushed the blanket off me then sat up. I realized that when I meditated I became very aware of the things around me. I wonder if that could ever come to my advantage in battle.

I wondered around the leaf village looking for who knows what. I couldn't touch anything or say anything of course. So I just looked about and wondered around. Then there was a noise.

I was back in Naruto's place and the annoying alarm was going off. Naruto smacked the snooze button and slept on. What the hell? Now we all know why he slept in…

I picked my shoe off the ground and threw it at him. It hit his side and he immediately flung up into a sitting position holding his arms in a defensive with his eyes still closed.

"No sleeping in. You've got thirty minutes to meet Kakashi… he's probly going to be late through…"

Naruto eyes snapped open as he prepared ramen and got ready for the day. I got dressed and washed up while he was eating. I changed into the same stuff and yesterday because Naruto put everything in the wash last night. I walked over to my backpack and took out my wallet then threw on the bag with m art stuff. I made sure I had my weapons then walked to the door.

"I'm going out. No sense in me staying anyways…"

He said something with a mouth full of noodles and I took it as a 'bye'. I stepped out side and walked down the street. What would I do today? Today all of the Ninja from other villages were arriving to go to the exam, so any ideas of exploring the forests outside the village was a no-no.

I decided on browsing the shops again. It was still a bit early so no one was out. I fond a shop that was loaded wit scrolls. I didn't want to chance reading porn or something but the sign in the window made me thing otherwise.

'LEARN THE ARTS OF NINJA. AVALIBLE IN OVER 25 LANGUAGES WITH OVER 1,000's OF DIFFERENT JUTSU.'

There were also other signs but that was the only one that mattered. I walked into the store.

"Hello young ninja! How may I help you today?" A middle-aged man asked me the minute I walked in.

"Well I'm not a Ninja but I was wondering if you had anything in English," I stated.

"Of course. It's our third favorite language! Now do you want to rent or buy?"

"Uh… can I see your selection?"

"Of course! Over there!" he pointed at a section with a sigh above it labeled 'ENGISH'.

I walked over to see every individual scroll labeled.

Water Jutsu, Fire Jutsu, Wind Jutsu, Earth Jutsu, Electric Jutsu, Tii Jutsu, Gen Jutsu, Shadow Jutsu, Ninja Arts, and Healing Jutsu. All the jutsu scrolls had levels or versions after the main part of the label. There were also ones called: Hand signs, Chakra control, Chakra Strings, and historical things two.

I picked out a Water Jutsu levels one and two, Wind Jutsu level one, Gen Jutsu level one, Ninja Nations, Healing Jutsu level one Hand Signs, and Ninja Arts. "…Eight. Okay… I think I'm set. Hey Mister!"

"Wow. That's a lot you're getting there. Now, buy or rent?" he asked me.

"How much to buy?"

He rung them all up and I paid gladly. I placed them all in my bag and headed for the training grounds. First I looked at hand signs. The scroll wasn't that long and had pictures and signs of what each one looked like, what they are use for, and what each meant.

I memorized the hand signs then picked out the Ninja arts scroll.

Transformation Jutsu

Seals Used: Tiger(Tora)

Then it went on about how to perform the Jutsu and everything. I practiced on it for a while till I was sure I had it down. Next…

Replacement Jutsu

I practiced that one to the best that I could. Soon after about three hours of training I had learned about six jutsu from each scroll, basic healing techniques, some ways to control chakra, and how to release Gen Jutsu.

I took a brake and sighed. I had accomplished a lot in little time. I deserved a break. I put all the scrolls in my bag and sighed. What was the point in this anyway? I didn't see one.

"Tora."

"There's only one person that calls me that…" I turned my head to look at Sasuke, "So… Are you going in the Chunin Exams?"

"Of course," he said.

Just then a rain ninja attacked Sasuke. That was of course Iruika but I wasn't going to say anything…

Sasuke jumped off and I took note that there was suddenly a dense fog. Before Iruika jumped after Sasuke I thanked him.

"Thanks for chasing emo boy off!" I yelled happily.

He stared at me weirdly then followed his target. I began walking away when the same Ninja came rushing through holding a girl. I stared as Naruto then rushed past. I ran behind him and caught up and started questioning him.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked even though I knew.

Naruto growled first then replied, "That guy up there took Moegi!"

"Well then get him!" I sped up so I was getting in front of him. Naruto then dashed past me and I sped up even more to keep up.

When we finally got there the Man had tied the girl up. I stayed on a tree branch behind and watched. Iruika asked for the 'Forbidden Scroll of Sealing' and Naruto rejected many times. Then I saw something behind the tree… When the heck did Naruto do a Shadow Clone Jutsu?

The girl was replaced with a dummy.

"Don't you care what happens to this girl?" Iruika asked.

"I could care less about what's going to happen to a bundle of hay!"

I don't exactly know how it happened but suddenly Iruika was under a net. Moegi praised Naruto for a bit and. Udon and Konahamaru got there and suddenly they left, forgetting I was there.

"So what is your relation to Naruto?"

I turned around to she the rain ninja in the tree behind me, "We're friends I guess… Why?" he disappeared right after I said that, "Oh! How polite!"
