A/N:
OMG!!!! New boring chapter!What Have I Gotten Into?
I got up early then looked around. Today was the first day of the Chunin exam. It was early so I thought I'd cook breakfast for Naruto. Cheese covered eggs, toast, orange and apple slices, and a milk. I looked at the clock. Naruto had 45 minutes till he had to leave.
I threw a wooden spoon at his head with perfect aim, "Wake up!" I already was eating from my own share of food.
Naruto rubbed the bump on his head, "Whoa… What's that smell?"
"Breakfast," I said. He probly wasn't used to waking up with food all ready for him since he was a orphan.
"Food? OH! Thanks a lot Kitten!" Naruto quickly got out of bed and got a plate ready in record time.
I watched him eat quickly, "Slow down. You're gonna cho-" I stopped when I saw him have a coughing fit and hit his chest rapidly, "Never mind."
I got up and started patting his back. Soon he swallowed and gasped. He tuned around and smiled at me, "Thanks!"
I shrugged ate finished my food. While he ate a little slower, but not much slower, I went and changed. I changed into my only black hoodie, I left it unzipped so it showed the baby-blue shirt I wore underneath that stopped above my abdomen. Then I had white shorts and my ninja shoes. I wore my red belt and got my weapons. I quickly brushed out my hair and walked out of the bathroom as Naruto rushed in. The door slammed and I heard yelling inside.
"YEAH!!! Today is the first day of the Chunin Exams! Believe it!"
I shook my head then looked at the table to see all the food gone. I sighed and started cleaning the dishes. I was really feeling like a mother or something…
Naruto came out of the bathroom tying his headband. He rushed out of the apartment without a word of god bye and I sighed while I finished the dishes. I then got my bag with the sketch pad and my wallet then walked out. I looked around for something to do. I saw Naruto was still walking down the street so I decided I'd watch as much of the Exam as possible. I walked slowly after him then ran to catch up.
"Hey Naruto! Wait up!" he turned around and looked at me. I caught up.
"Good luck! 'Kay? But do you mind if I tag along till you get there? I have nothing else to do…"
"Sure Kitten. I going to pass this! Believe it!" Naruto said.
I nodded, "So do you know who's going to be there?"
Naruto suddenly wore a expression like her was deep in thought, "Well those sand guy, Sasuke, and hopefully Sakura…"
"The Chunin exams will have more then that," I paused when he gave me a questioning look, "Well every ninja nation is sending in Genin for the exam. There will be hundreds of them. And they'll have tests of knowledge, survival, and strength. Not to mention the eliminations rounds If they think there are too many candidates left after one of the exams. Heh… sounds exciting don't it? Makes me wish I were a ninja since I have to miss out on all the fun. You may even end up dead…"
Naruto gave me a 'Gotta stay calm' look, "Wow… it's going to be harder then I thought."
"Oh! Don't worry Naruto. The first exam probly won't be that hard. Probly some sort of written test."
"Did you say written?"
"Yep. And they'll probly have millions of rules that make you want to drill your own brains out. But don't worry. If there is a written test, the true purpose is probly knowledge gathering. The problems will probly be extremely hard and challenging with all these-"
"OH MAN!!!!!!" Naruto said.
I growled, "Wait there's more to it," he looked at me with new hope, "It's really just a way of demanding a way of gathering knowledge and information in tough situations. They'll probly have ways of trying to catch you cheating, you just got to make sure you don't get caught."
"I don't get it…"
"A ninja needs to know his surroundings, AND know how to gather information on the enemy with out getting without getting caught. And not any information, good information. Here's a example,
"You're planning a attack on the enemy to get a scroll. You have information that the security is down one night. But your source is unreliable and instead you walk into a trap.
"Get it? Wrong information is just as bad as no information at all," I said finishing.
"Oh!" Naruto setting his fist into his hand, "Wow Kitten. You're smart."
I beamed with pride. Man, medaling is fun.
We walked to a building and Naruto smiled at me, "This is the place. See you later Kitten."
"See ya!" he ran up to his group and they walked up the stairs.
He walks inside and I perform the transparency jutsu I learned from my scrolls. It's just like being invisible, I have it perfect. You can't even make out my shape. I went up the stair then waited for someone to open the door. A group of ninja open the door and I sneak through before it closes.
I wandered around finally found group seven.
"Hey you! what's you name?" Neji asked.
"I'm not obliged to answer," Sasuke said.
"What's that?" Neji asked. Turned his head then and stared right at me. Gah! Right at me! I thought I was invisible or whatever. He doesn't even have his Byakugan activated and he's still one to be feared. He looked back at Sasuke.
Suddenly Sakura grabbed Naruto and Sasuke's hands and dragged them away. That was a sight…
"Hey! Let's go!" Sakura yelled.
"Alright! Do pull me!" Sasuke said trying to keep calm.
I quietly followed behind.
I don't really get what happened next but suddenly we were in a room and there was a green dork that I knew was named Lee who was yelling at Sasuke.
Everyone had their own reaction. Naruto sighed, Sakura shrieked and Sasuke… Sasuke did nothing till he finally turned his head.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I want to fight. Right here. Right now," Lee said.
"You want to fight me huh?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes." Lee hopped down, "My name is Rock Lee. You said is was common curtsy for a challenger to give his own name first, right? Sasuke Uchiha
I don't get what happened next. There was a bit more talking then bunches of hearts went flying at Sakura. She dodged then all and yelled at Lee. Just how did Lee get all those hearts to go in the air?
Suddenly Naruto charged at him. Lee redirected Naruto's punch and sent him toward the floor. Naruto tried to get back with a kick but Lee did his own kick and sent him whirling away.
"Whoa…" I said quietly. Suddenly Sasuke looked right at me. By the look of it he couldn't see me but suddenly everyone else turned heads to see.
"Sasuke… what are you looking at?" Sakura asked.
I saw him activate his sharingan. Shit. I'm dead.
"You've been there the whole time?" he asked.
I resealed, "Just testing a new technique. I guess I haven't got it down."
"I thought you said you didn't know any jutsu."
"Well, I was training!"
"Since yesterday?"
I pulled down my eyelids and stuck out my tong, "HUMP!!!!!"
"Hi Kitten!" Sakura called, "How'd you get in here?"
I ignored her as I mocked Sasuke with millions of silly faces.
"I'll kill you," Sasuke growled.
"I'll kill you," I mimicked him.
"Uh?" Lee questioned.
"Oh Yeah," I said, "You two were about to fight right? I'll go smack Naruto till he wakes up while you do that."
"You go ahead and do that…" Sasuke then face Lee while I did exactly what I said. Smacked Naruto.
My fist came strait down his head, "Wake up Naruto!"
"Gah!" he grabbed the place where I punched him.
"Are you ready to fight Sasuke?" Lee asked.
"Sasuke, we have no time. We have to sign in less then a half hour," Sakura protested.
"Don't worry Sakura," I said, "This guy will kick Sasuke's ass then you can be on your way."
"What?" Sasuke growled.
"Well it's obvious he's probly trying to get you to expose your technique," I said, "You'll be totally stuck up and charge at him because you think being in the Uchiha clan is enough to let you win."
"HEY!!!!" Sakura growled, "Don't you dare talk about Sasuke that way!!!"
"Well, it's my honest opinion," I said, "I'm just sharing it."
"It is a good observation though," Lee said, "You," he pointed at me, "Who are you?"
I pointed at myself in question and he nodded, "I'm Tora Mizubara! But my nick name is Kitten."
"Well Tora," Lee asked, "Are you a ninja?"
Oh Shit! I knew that tone of voice. He's thinking of challenging me but he's supposed to fight Sasuke… I wonder if this is bad, "Well I know how to fight but no. I'm not a ninja. Now can you please kick Sasuke's ass."
"I'm thinking of changing opponents," Lee said.
"Wait! You challenged me remember?" Sasuke barked.
This was totally unplanned. "Fine. Then let's," Lee said getting into a fighting stance.
Sasuke charged at Lee and was about to punch when Lee vanished. It strained my eyes to follow his movement as he ran around the room and appeared above Sasuke and brought his foot down. Sasuke barely dodged but Lee sent another kick into his stomach. It was a lot harder then I saw in the show as Sasuke fell to the ground stunned.
"I win," Lee said.
I thought this was all about Lee testing his skills to see if he was ready to take on Neji. Apparently he changed his goal a bit.
He turned toward me, "Now I challenge you, Tora!"
"Uh…" I thought about it, "Okay. I'll accept your challenge. It'll be a friendly match!"
He smiled and disappeared. I stared then did a shadow clone jutsu to cover my back. Quickly I spotted him. He was traveling as quick as light. I disappeared as well and reappeared on the other end of the room as I watched Lee kick the hell out of my clone. It disappeared and he gasped as I ran toward him and kicked him from behind. He flew forward and stopped himself by pushing on the wall.
"Good move, but mine are better," Lee said.
I grabbed my chakra stick from my belt and forced it to extend while Lee charged at me. I forced myself to get ready as I got into a defensive position. He was just about to kick me but I swung at his Leg and he did a side flip to prevent impact with the floor.
"You're good," Lee said, "But I'm better!"
"Kitten! Hang in there!" Naruto yelled.
I was about to reply but I remembered I was in a battle. Suddenly I was kicked into the air. Lee appeared behind me with his bandages loose. SHIT! What the hell?
I elbowed him and he clutched himself in surprise. I then reached into my pockets I pulled out a bunch of kunai and pinned his bandages to the floor and walls. We were heading back toward the ground and I twirled around in kicked him in the side while still in the air. I landed on my feet as Lee hit the ground.
"You are very good," Lee said.
I stood there trying to figure out how I got Lee to use that move on me and not Sasuke when my thoughts were interrupted.
"Oh no…" I heard Lee say under his breath. I turned around and saw him bowing in front of a large red turtle.
"Tora," I heard Sasuke hiss my name. It was obvious that he was mad I held my own against Lee when he got beaten in one move. Wait… I held my own against Lee?!
"You- You were watching us the whole time?" Lee suddenly asked.
"Of course! That jutsu is forbidden. You know that!" the turtle yelled.
I went over to Naruto and his group, "Did you see that? I almost got my ass kicked!!!" I said it with no shame.
"Why is bushy brow talking to a turtle?" Naruto asked.
"Because the turtle's probly a ninja," I said.
"Turtles can be ninja," they said in unison.
"It's just my observation but there's a band around his neck right?" I said and they all looked back at the turtle.
"YOU'RE A DISCRACE!!!!"
Turning around now, we all see the turtle still talking to Lee, "You think you'll get away with a bunch of lame excuses like that? A shinobi never reveals his techniques unless it's absolutely necessary! It's such a basic rule! You should know it by now."
"Forgive me, sir," Lee said.
"Are you ready to face the consequences?"
Lee nodded and suddenly smoke filled the room. It cleared reviling, oh crap.
"Hey! What's shaking everybody? Life treating you good?" Gai yelled out.
I heard the three next to me shriek.
"Hi Lee," he smiled and his teeth immediately glimmered when the light reached them. Odd.
"Too weird," Sakura said.
"So that's where he gets it from! Same soup bowl haircut, and even bushier eyebrows!" Naruto yelled.
I now was back to drawing in my sketch pad. I slightly tined out what was going on around me.
"HEY!!! DO NOT INSULT GAI-SENSEI!!!!! HE'S ONE OF THE GREATEST ME IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!" Lee shouted.
"EXCUSE ME FOR NOT NOTICING HIS GREATNESS!!!! I WAS TO BUSY WATCHING HIM CRAWL OUT FROM UNDERNEITH A TURTLE!!!!" Naruto yelled back.
"He did not crawl out!" Lee said.
"Give it a rest Lee," Gai said.
"Yes sir…"
"Now for your punishment!!!! AHH!!! You little fool!" Gai punched Lee in the face.
Everyone shrieked, again.
Gai walked over and bowed on one knee, "I'm sorry Lee but it's for your own good…"
"Sen- Sensei," Lee said. Now you could practically see a sunset behind them.
"Oh Lee," Gai said.
"Sensei," they said in tears, "I am… so sorry!"
"Alright. It's over. You don't have to say anymore…"
"SENSEI!!!" Okay… they're hugging…
"It's okay! It was only your face!" Gai said.
"I-I'm sorry sensei," OMG. Serious yaoi!
"You're to old to be called a boy and not yet a man," Gai said.
"You are so good to me, Gai-sensei," Lee said.
Okay, I need a barf bag…
"Now, give me a hundred laps around the practice field! Show me what you got!"
"Yes sir! No problem!"
"Run into the setting sun! Run and suffer! But don't mess up your hair."
"What about the Chunin exams?" Sakura asked, "There's no time for fooling around!"
"Eh? Oh right. I forgot about that," Gai said, "Lee you not only disobeyed the rule again but you disturbed the Chunin Exams. I think that wards a slightly more severe punishment. Don't you?"
"Yes Sir!" Lee said.
Gai struck a pose, "Let's say 500 laps! How dose that sound?"
"Outstanding sir!"
Gai stared at Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, "Tell me! How is Kakashi-sensei?"
"Do you know him?" Sasuke asked.
"Do I know him?" Gai snickered a bit, "Well some say, he and I are arch rivals for all eternity."
"There's just no way!" Sakura and Naruto said.
"So how long have you know Kakashi?" I asked.
"Huh?" Gai suddenly looked at me, "I didn't see you there but that is a excellent question! Kakashi and I have know each other since childhood."
"Okay. Your student Lee is very talented by the way," I said, "You must be-"
I paused as Gai started to get all emotional, "Oh Lee! He is the best student I ever had!"
I smacked myself, "He don't have to get all emotional about it…" I looked at the others to see them glaring at me, "What?! I was telling the truth! He beat both of you and if the fight continued any longer he would of beat me."
"Actually that is not quite true," everyone looked at Lee, "If the fight would have continued I have the feeling you would have been the victor."
"Well we won't ever know until we have a rematch! How about after the exam we have another friendly match?!" I ask.
"Lee gladly excepts! Don't you Lee?" Gai said.
"Yes Kitten! I gladly except the challenge!" Lee asks. Okay, he called me Kitten… Is that good or bad?
Lee began re-bandaging his hand. I smiled and did a chakra sign as I prepared a jutsu, "Bye!" I vanished before anyone could respond. What the hell do I keep getting myself into?!
