Hey guys, it's Jinso again. I know this just got released, along with Chapter 6, but I decided, while creating Chapter 6, that I could kill two birds with one stone and release both at the same time. So here it is!
Chapter 7-The Challenges Ahead
Aaron reappeared inside his home.
"So where'd you go?"
"Nowhere important; I visited people in need." A knock came at the door.
"Sonovabitch...Does EVERYBODY have to knock on my f**king door during a CONVERSATION?" Aaron yelled as he walked to the door. A goat-masked ANBU was there.
"Lord Hokage requests your presence in his chambers, Uchiha-san."
"Thank you." Aaron said. He closed the door, and went back to his family.
"Well, the Hokage wants me to see him, so I'll see you guys later." With that, he disappeared.
Hokage's Chambers
"What is it I am here for, Hokage-sama?" Aaron asked with a raised eyebrow. Minato Namikaze was sitting across from him at his desk, and with a grin. Not an 'I'm happy today' grin, might I add. It was an 'I want you to be the proctor for the second part of the Chunin Exams in two days and make the Leaf seem cool by doing an awesome entrance' kind of look. YEAH. It was THAT descriptive.
"Let me guess; You want me to be the proctor for the Chunin Exams' second part, which is in two days, and make the village look cool by doing a grand entrancing and impressing the sh*t out of every person in the first exam room. Is that right?"
"I KNEW that look would speak for itself someday! Kushi-chan owes me money now!" The Yondaime Hokage exclaimed, striking a Jiraiya-esque pose. Aaron just sweat-dropped.
"Fine, I'll do it...but only because I love grand entrances and looking cool while doing said entrances." Aaron conceded. Minato nodded and handed him a scroll. Aaron bowed and asked,
"Hokage-sama, might I ask you for a favor?" The elder Namikaze nodded.
"Could you please inform whoever is proctoring the first exam that I am going to be a little bit late on purpose? I wish to surprise everyone in the room when I enter."
"I'll do that. Morino Ibiki is proctoring again, just so you know." Aaron seemed to be pondering something for a moment.
"I'll just tell Ibiki myself. I'm needed at the T&I Department anyways." Aaron bowed, and left the Hokage's Office via a Light Shunshin. (A/N: A bright flash of light covers him, and when it fades, he is gone.)
Aaron's House
Aaron appeared out of his Light Shunshin.
"Hokage-sama called me to tell me that I'm proctoring the second part of the Chunin Exams." Aaron announced.
"Cool, dad! That means we'll all see you after the first exam!" Kagizdume cheered.
"Yes, you will, Kagi. I'm going to give you some tips, though: 1: Stay throughout the entire exam. Make sure your teammates and yourselves do NOT quit whatsoever. And 2: I'm going to be entering a few minutes late on purpose to impress everyone by order of the Hokage, so pretend you don't know that." The four nodded.
"Also, Anko-chan, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to top your entrance from last year." Anko pouted and did the ultimate jutsu against men: 'Ultimate Hidden Female Technique: Puppy-Dog Eyes no Jutsu'.
"Pweeeeeeeeeeeeease don't." She begged. Aaron sighed.
'Yes, I've got him! My entrance will still stay the best!' She mentally cheered. In Anko's mind, there was a chibi her dancing and poking her fingers up and down next to a chibi Aaron, who had the kanji for 'Whipped' (ホイップ) on his forehead, who was crying anime tears.
"I'm still going to do it." Every man in the world suddenly felt the need to worship a regular person as a god.
'Someone has just managed to resist the puppy dog eyes. We must worship them, for they are the one true god.' Everyone but Aaron and his family thought. All the women suddenly felt a sense of weakness.
'Someone has just beaten our ultimate weapon. If the other males of the world find out, all hope for whipping our husbands will be lost.' They thought in unison.
"But as a way to say sorry for beating your entrance, I'll buy you an all-you-can-eat dango feast."
Akimichi Clan Compound
"ACHOO!" Every Akimichi sneezed in unison.
'Someone is talking about a feast...' They all thought as their stomachs grumbled.
Uchiha Clan Compound
"Now I'm off to tell Morino-san about my entrance. See you all in two days!" Aaron then disappeared.
2 Days Later, Near the End of the First Exam
"Now for the tenth question..." Ibiki paused for dramatic effect as all the kids leaned in except for Aaron's.
"...You pass! Congratulations!" Everyone face-faulted.
"What the hell! What about the tenth question!" A Suna genin asked. Ibiki smirked.
"There was no tenth question; the entire test was about gathering information."
He pulled off his bandana/hitai-ate. Upon his head, there were puncture marks, burns, scratches, scars, and other grotesque injuries.
-Insert tape labeled "Ibiki's 'What it means to be a Chunin' Speech"-
Ibiki smirked again as some Genin pissed their pants, and some even VOMITED at the sight of his injuries. He didn't mind them that much. The scars and burns didn't really hurt at all anymore. He put his bandana back on and looked around with a fake scowl on his face.
'Heh...I can't WAIT to see their faces when he enters...' Ibiki pointed to a Chunin, getting ready to cue Aaron in like he was supposed to do.
"YOU! Go find the proctor for the second exam! If you can't find him, DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK!" He barked. The Chunin nodded, and was about to run off, when a broadsword crashed through the ceiling and implanted itself in the floor. Everyone stopped and stared. The genin were chattering.
"What was that?" "Who did that?" They whispered.
Suddenly, an enormous amount of power began building up in the floor, rising like lava inside a volcano.
'Here it comes...' Aaron's children and Ibiki thought in unison.
A couple of genin began getting fearful of what was going on. Suddenly, the power skyrocketed, and a golden beam of light shot high up in the sky out of nowhere.
BGM ACTIVATED: INTRO INSTRUMENTAL FOR NEW DIVIDE, BY LINKEN PARK
The genin watched in awe as the light began to thin and collapse, intertwining as it fell. (A/N: Think of when Itachi and Kisame are fighting Kakashi, Kurenai, and I think Asuma, and then Gai comes in and the water that flew up from his entry intertwines then hits the surface of the water they're standing on.) The light intertwined and streamed down, revealing a black-haired man with his eyes closed, and his arms folded across his chest. His jet-black hair and long cape fluttered from the winds his power caused.
He was dressed in leather pants, like a rogue in an RPG. On his feet was a pair of padded running shoes, made from a light but durable silk. Aaron wore a tanned undershirt, and on top of it, a Dracailium chestplate with the symbol of Illyon in the middle. In the middle part of the symbol, there was a polished moonstone, which seemed to always draw your attention to it. Starting at the end of his undershirt's short sleeves, a pair of silken long sleeves trailed down his arms.
He wore two metal bracers with the symbol of Illyon inscribed in them. (A/N: Illyon's symbol is a glowing yellow. It has an oval-like shape in the middle (The bottom is a point, which stretches out a little going upwards, and then becomes like an oval), and there are two stretched out comma marks on the side.) The front ends of the bracers were spiked. He wore two Dracailium pauldrons on his shoulders, both also inscribed with the symbol of Illyon.
He also wore a Dracailium helm on his head. The helmet was shaped like a dragon's head, with the mouth, yet no-one could see what lie beyond it. The eyes of the dragon head were rhodolite garnets, making it look fierce and mighty. (A/N: (Wow, I'm doing a lot of these in this chapter, aren't I?) If you want to know what a rhodolite garnet looks like, imagine a garnet, but more square-shaped. Or just search it on Google or whatever search engine you use.) Aaron's long elf-ears stuck out from the sides of the helmet, taking the place of the dragon's ears. Finally, he was wearing a tiger-stripe cape made from the finest non-flammable silk on Ra'drith, which was spun by Kaldren spiders. (A/N: Kaldren spiders are giant spiders native to the mountainous areas of Ra'drith. They can read the emotions of people to determine if they are good or evil. The silk they spin for their webs is used in making fine clothes for those with the money to buy said clothes.) In short, two words described his look; BAD and ASS.
Then the light disappeared completely.
BGM END
And he spoke.
"I am Uchiha Hiroshi, proctor for the second part of the Chunin Exams. Report to training ground 44, otherwise known as the Forest of Death, at once. If you are not there within one hour, you and your team will be immediately disqualified."
With that, Aaron used his Light Shunshin™ to go to the Forest of Death.
Forest of Death, 1 Minute Later
Aaron was starting to nod off while waiting for the Chunin hopefuls to arrive, when he felt a jolt run through his body.
'This feeling...I've felt it before...it means something bad is going to happen...But what?' He thought in perplexion.
Cave, Unknown Location
A figure, cast in shadow, stood over some kind of crater in the ground, looking in and chuckling deeply. The crater was filled with water, and in the water's surface, it showed Aaron leaning against a gate in the Forest of Death.
"...It's almost time...soon I shall possess the blades once more, and I shall rule for all eternity..." The figure said.
The image switched to Kinu, and then Kagizdume, then Kuro, and finally Te-ru, before coming back to Aaron.
"...Even if I have to do it myself...Ren'l!"
A black humanoid creature with glowing yellow eyes and a similar yellow gem on its forehead ran up to them. This creature is what is known as a homunculus, or, an elemental; an inanimate element given life by something's own energy. When created, elementals are bound to their masters/creators until their deaths.
"Yes, sire?" The elemental asked.
The figure stood up straight, and turned around to face the elemental, a black cape swooping with a "fwwsh".
"Send out the Tazhu(1). I want my blades back soon."
"Of course, sire! Right away!" Ren'l replied as it scrambled off.
"...Soon, Illyon...Soon, I will come for them...And you cannot stop me..."
The person's long elf ears twitched as they let out a loud cackle.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's that! This was chapter 7, and there's more to come soon!
(1): Tazhu: A race a humanoid bat-like creatures that are only found in mines on Ra'drith. These creatures can use echolocation, and can let out a sonic screech to disable their prey. Their fangs are also tipped with a poison that puts the victim in a temporary coma at first, and can lead to death if untreated.
Get ready for Chapter 8: The Prophecy Foretold!
See you all next time!
