Author's note: So, yea, took me a while to update, but don't worry dear readers! I'll at least update once or twice a week. :-) Anyway, here's the chapter !

Midori's POV ( as usual XD )

Three days. I've been practicing for Only three frikkin days. And finally, today is the day that will determine whether I'm worthy of Akatsuki or if I am just worth to be killed. I already woke up early this day due to a past incident , and Konan led me to the same training ground we've been practicing upon for days.

When we arrived, there are already 4 persons in the room. One with silver hair and holding a big 3 bladed scythe , one with a big puppet on his back, and one that suspiciously looked like a sushi. And the other one is most likely, to be, Weasel.

I looked at him angrily and decided to talk with Konan to distract myself.
After a good few minutes, Pein finally arrived.

He's late. I thought. Probably had a long time preparing the speech of doom. But when Pein finally turned to us, he looks... sleepy?

I looked at Konan curiously who just grinned sheepishly and mouthed " Paper works " and is followed by " Origami ". Which I translated as,' I used his paper works for origami.' My mouth formed a small 'o'.

Finally , Pein cleared his throat and turned to me. "Midori , you'll have 4 tests today, Weapon and Taijutsu with Hidan, " he mentioned to the silver haired one who grinned at me sadistically. "Weapons with Sasori, " he mentioned to the the red head that just stared at me blankly with bored eyes. Pein continued. "Ninjutsu with Kisame , " He pointed to Sushi-san who grinned at me and showed all his sharp teeth.
"Then finally, genjutsu and ninjutsu as well with Itachi. If you get to defeat all of them, you pass. And don't worry, no one will interrupt."

I scowled as he mentioned his name and glared at Itachi but he just stared back at me.

I turned to Pein, a scowl on my face, but in an ever so polite tone, I asked. "Pein-sama, can I get another opponent? I'll accept anyone, except, him." I asked, well, more like growled the last part, then I pointed roughly at Weasel's direction.

Pein thought for a while and replied firmly with a "No, no one can use genjutsu as effective as him. You got no choice."

Pein said in an ordering tone, crossed his arms, and eyed me firmly. Warning me not to object.

I sighed irritatedly, knowing that I lost. " Okay, fine." I grumbled.

Konan nodded at me encouragingly and gave me a chakra pill.
"Here, Use this to replenish your chakra reserves. But use it wisely, we'll only give you one pill. Do well too, our last rookie, Arnold died failing this."
I smiled gratefully at her and took the pill from her. I started to walk to the center, when Pein called to me, eyes dropping slightly. "Choose your first opponent." He said in a cold voice.

I thought about it for a while. Weapons would be a lot easier than the other 3 and it uses less chakra so...

"I choose, Sasori" I said in a deadly calm voice and pointed at Sasori's direction.

Said red head just 'hmphed' at me and walked calmly to my direction. Looking at me smugly, every step of the way. Once we're on position, Pein nodded at us, signalling us to attack.. Then his voice rang in the quiet room. "Start."

Sasori quickly dismounted his puppet from his back and made it attack me.
The puppet dashed towards me and threw poisoned senbons from who-knows-where and I quickly jumped upwards and threw a kunai with an attached bomb tag at the puppet, but Sasori saw this coming earlier and just quickly moved his puppet out of the way.

I decided to act weak at first, and when Sasori is smug enough that he is confident that he'll win, that's where I'll strike, seriously.

I threw a few shuriken at Sasori which he easily blocked with his handy puppet. He attacked me with waves of senbons again and I'm pretty sure he is going easy with me as well. I managed to dodge all of them, but of course, I decided to act clumsy and make it look like I barely dodged it and even fell on my back for good measures. After that, I slowly scrambled to my feet and sluggishly leapt upwards and threw my weakest paper tags attached to my most worn out kunais to Sasori.

Because of the dull blades, they barely sank to the ground. And because of the weak tags, they didn't even seem to faze Sasori. And because I'm such an actress, I decided to act tired and started to fake pant and even held the chakra pill with my left hand. I looked at Pein and Konan who looked at me with disappointment. I really want to smirk, but I thought that that'll ruin the surprise.

Then Sasori chuckled, which turned to a laugh, then,not too long after, he guffawed at me, holding his stomach with laughter. I shot him an annoyed look.
"You...you dare challenge me?! Sasori the puppet master?!" He could barely breath and speak because he's laughing so hard that his whole body shook with laughter. "You..look at you! You barely did anything and your already out of chakra?! Pathetic!" After that, he continued his little laugh trip. He's making quite a racket.

I grunted in annoyance and slipped the chakra pill back to my pocket and straightened up. I stopped my panting and breathed small huffs.

"Okay," I announced, "I think that's enough." I smirked at Sasori teasingly.
But so far, all he did is, ignored me, laughed at me and sent his puppet to attack me using his chakra strings while scowling.

"Just give up brat!"

I sighed in annoyance. He attacked me with another wave of poisoned senbons and kunais which I dodged effortlessly this time. I saw him widen his eyes slightly and I took this as an advantage, jumped upwards, and did a single hand sign.

Then after a second, all the seals inside my sleeves glowed bright red. Then after another second, hundreds of an assortment of kunais, senbons and shurikens shot out of my sleeves and headed towards him. I added a bit of wind jutsu on it too, just to strengthen the impact of the weapons. He quickly moved his puppet so it would shield him. But his eyes widened when he saw that the kunais went through his precious 'weapon'. He quickly dodged out of the way as hundreds of kunais impaled themselves loudly on the ground behind him. His disheveled puppet hovering behind him, covering his back. I sent another wave of attacks and Sasori stopped for a second and turned around to face the weapons I threw at him and twitched his fingers. The puppet immediately appeared in front of him and stopped the weapons from reaching Sasori. After that, he jumped out of the way again.

Then I sent a dozen of kunais to his front and before he knew it, a few kunais had impaled themselves on his body.

I smirked triumphantly. And sent another wave at him but with bomb tags attached this time. But I only sent the weak ones just to distract him, not kill him.
Then he finally realized his situation and quickly dodged out of the way.

The tags created a thin layer of smoke and dust but I could clearly see his silhouette and my body tensed as I saw him pulling all the kunais I had impaled in his back and legs earlier. Then I saw light shadows erupt from the smoke and made it's way towards me. Instinctively, I quickly dodged and jumped sidewards, avoiding all the attacks.. And when I turned around, a couple of kunais were impaled on the ground I was previously standing on.

The smoke has already cleared and Sasori glared at me noticing that I was just standing calmly all the time I was attacking , while his puppet hovered beside him.

My eyes widened slightly in shock as I saw the kunais that I had stabbed him with has no any visible traces of blood. Then I saw through a ripped part of his cloak, and I saw..wood.

Then realization hit me on the face. He's body is made of wood?! Is he a...puppet? My eyes widened, then I sighed. If only I can use fire jutsu.

He glared at me when he realized what I was doing. "Oh I see what you're playing at, brat. I admit, you fooled me. But remember this brat, you'll never win against me. Let's just end this already."

I scowled and my eyes twitched. "Hmph. A bit cocky aren't we? Hmm, Pinocchio?"
He glared at me and I smirked. "Too much ego for a mere piece of wood. Tsk. You're right though, let's end this." I ran towards him and he used his puppet to block me but when I was face to face with the puppet, I disappeared and reappeared at the puppet's back. I quickly cut the chakra strings he attached with my special kunai that is normally use against chakra strings and darted towards Sasori that is staring in shock at his puppet that is lying uselessly on the ground.

I used that as an opening and punched him on the face. Hard. Before he could even get the chance to react, I quickly disappeared and reappeared at behind him, kunai pressing to his throat threateningly.

He was about to get something underneath his cloak when a poof appeared and a clone of myself grabbed his hands roughly, preventing him from doing anything.

He scowled and I murmured silkily at his ear. "I win"

I can feel reactions all around me. I can feel Konan's smirk and I can feel Pein's rinnegan boring holes through me, I can feel Itachi staring impassively and Kisame chuckling at Sasori's lost, and Hidan laughing at Sasori's flushed expression. But most of all, I can hear The great Sasori's surprised gasp.

He turned to me angrily, but before he could say anything, Pein called to us,
"Midori wins. Choose your next opponent." I smirked smugly at Sasori who growled at me.

"I will never forget this, brat."

"All the better." I smiled at him mockingly. He just grunted in annoyance.

I smirked at Sasori as I Iet go and he glared at me and stormed out of the room, both from anger and humiliation.

I chuckled to myself.

I looked at my remaining opponents.

Genjutsu- no. Right now, it's totally not an option.

I looked at the other two, Kisame and Hidan, who both looked really weird, especially Kisame. I looked back and forth between the two of them.

Oh well. I can fight with Taijutsu right now then fight with Ninjutsu. And then I'll drink the pill to restore chakra before I fight Weasel.

I just shrugged and pointed at Hidan. " I choose to fight Hidan."
Pein nodded and Hidan walked towards me with a sadistic grin plastered on his face. When we were just a meter apart each other, he looked at me with those amused pink eyes of his. And greeted me in a very polite manner.

He smirked. "Ya showed the puppet b****** pretty good m***** f*****.".

( Well.. I tried my best to cover up Hidan's bad language. But I need to keep him in character! Sumimaisen)

I blinked several times at him. "Excuse me?" A slight edge on my voice appearing.

He just sighed lazily. "Didn't ya hear me b****? I just praised ya."

My eyes twitched at his chosen choice of words and I let out an irritated snort.

"Let's just fight, grim reaper." I stomped my foot forward and readied my arms for the upcoming fight. He just smirked at me, stretched and twirled his scythe around his hand.

"Pretty good idea b****.. You'll be a fine sacrifice to Jashin-sama" He flashed me another one of those sadistic smiles and dashed towards me with his scythe.

I barely blocked the blow of his 3 bladed scythe, but I managed to block him with my kunai. I swelled chakra on my leg and kicked him in the stomach, but he managed to block the blow with the handle of his scythe with one fluid motion.

My eyebrows furrowed in frustration as we continue to struggle to hit each other while I thought of a strategy to defeat pink eyes.

As no plan came to mind, I simply jumped away, and Hidan's scythe slightly sank to the ground which he pulled out with no effort at all.

I smirked as the little lightbulb in my head clicked. I quickly made a shadow clone without them noticing and told it to wait for my orders and hide for the meantime.

I dashed towards Hidan with a kunai in hand and three shurikens at the other.
I threw all of them as a distraction , all at the same time. But he managed to block all of them using his scythe while my clone appeared behind him as I gave the signal and my clone punched him right on the head with a chakra infused punch.

He turned around to see who it is and I used this as a chance to attack. I jumped in the air and spun before kicking him in the face. ( also known as roundhouse kick XD)
He grunted and took large steps backward. I pounced on him and tried to punch him, but he avoided , still a little dizzy because of the kick I gave him.

The punch made contact with the ground instead and made a medium sized crater. I quickly scrambled backwards as he dashed towards me and swung his scythe , which I successfully managed to block with my kunai.

He's really strong. I thought. Yea, I know, pink eyed guys can be strong too.

I jumped back a few meters and got my kunai with hidden C-class bomb tags and threw them at him.

He quickly blocked them with his scythe, but the moment the kunais touched the cold metal of his scythe, the tags exploded in a very large explosion. My eyes widened as I saw blood splutter everywhere, and a thing that suspiciously looked like a hand fell on the Flor with a dull 'splat!' sound. My body froze in shock and success at the same time.

But as I smirked, a shadow made it's way out of the smoke cursing rather loudly.

" what the f*** is wrong with you m***** f****** b****?!" He grunted as he picked his hand and reattached it.

My eyes widened in utter shock. I looked at him closey and noticed that his whole body is healing. Rather quickly, I might say. His burns vanishing, his wounds closing, and, after a while, he is all healthy again. Then I saw the necklace that he wore.

I gasped, not believing that the rumor I heard about was true.

"You're a.. Jasshinist?! You're an...,immortal?!" My breath was caught in my throat. I mean, How in the world can I defeat an immortal opponent?!

Then he smirked and swung his scythe at my left, because of my shock, I barely dodged it, but don't worry, I managed.
I stumbled and scrambled to regain my balance. He just replied with a smirk.
"Yea. Correct f*****."

Our fight continued for an hour, both of us exchanging swings, kicks, punches , weapons and snappy retorts at each other. Finally I had enough.

I sidestepped as he was dashing towards me. And He spun his scythe above his head and attempted to slash me with it. But I jumped backwards and reappeared behind him and punched him hard on the back. He stumbled backwards and I kicked him on the face, but he catched my foot and threw me to the side with brutal force. But before I fell, I managed to regain my footing.

He swung his scythe at me and I catched it with my kunai, I could feel the force he is putting at his attack and I returned the same force. When I felt that Hidan's force was strong enough, I released the kunai and leapt upwards in the fraction of a second.

I saw the scythe bury itself deeply on the ground and I catched a glimpse of Hidan's pink eyes widening slightly. I smirked in triumph. Before he could get his scythe out, I appeared behind him and slashed him fully on the neck, and his head, cursing and all, tumbled on the floor as blood sprayed from the wound.

I looked at Konan slightly and she smirked at me with satisfaction. I nodded triumphantly at her.

I walked to Hidan's head and heard him cursing.

"Oh f***, f***, f***!" I sighed and picked him up. Um, I mean, his head up. He glared at me.
I frowned at him with mock concern. "Aawwwww. Are you hurt?" I poked his left eye with my pointy finger.
"Ow! What in the f****** name of Jashin, are you doing b*****?!" I just smirked at him.

"Nothing, it's just... I WON." I gave him a cold smile and threw him to Kisame who screamed in shock.

I turned to Pein, " I won, what now?"
Pein just stared at me with a look in his face that probably said,
' Do you even have to ask?'
I just shrugged and pointed at Sushi-san.

" I choose Su- er.. Kisame." I quickly corrected myself as Konan sent me a glare.

Pein just merely nodded. "You can start now."
