Kale's POV
I sat up in bed and threw my robes on, combed my hair and headed off. I stopped to look at the picture on my desk, it was of our whole team, me, Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi-Sensei, Sensei had copies made up for us so it was a precious gift.
"I'm going out Mom!" I yelled.
"Okay have fun and be careful!" she called out.
I headed off to meet with my team, everybody was there except Sensei, so we sat and waited…for three hours.
Why do I ever bother to get here early when he's always late?
"Morning guys!" Sensei smiled walking up.
"Don't try and act casual!" Sakura snapped.
"Come on let's get to work." Kakashi-Sensei said.
"When are we gonna get another exciting mission?" Naruto complained.
Later
"Uhh…" Naruto groaned as Sakura dragged him back to the village.
"Stop pushing yourself so hard." She scolded.
"Can't even take care of yourself." Sasuke taunted.
"Always picking fights." I sighed.
Naruto and Sakura started yelling at each other, Sasuke looked like he could care less and I was just kinda caught in the middle.
"Teamwork is suffering…" Kakashi sighed.
"Yeah Sasuke why are you always ruining our teamwork?!" Naruto yelled.
"Hey Idiot stop yelling." I groaned.
"If you want me to stop making you look bad then get stronger." Sasuke teased.
I feel even worse.
I looked over at Naruto.
If these two keep going…that thing is going to come out again.
"We're done for the day." Sensei said "I'm gonna go submit the report, you guys can head home."
"Sasuke let's walk together!" Sakura waved.
"You're just like Naruto, stop dreaming and practice your Jutsu or something." Sasuke said "To be frank your actually weaker than Naruto."
"WMM…" Sakura frowned.
"Sakura forget about him!" Naruto yelled as Sasuke walked off "Let's train together."
"Well I guess I'll head home." I said.
I got a few steps before I heard Naruto making a lot of noise.
Does he know how not to yell and make noise?
I turned around and saw a box following Naruto.
"Hey you've got a pet rock." I pointed.
Naruto did a quick double take and yelled at the rock.
"Can't you ever talk normally." I sighed walking up to him and the three kids who were under the box "You got some kind of fan club?"
"No it's just Konohamaru." Naruto said looking at the boy in the middle "What's with the goggles?"
"We're copying you." The boy explained.
"Oh…"
"What do you mean oh?" the boy snapped.
"Don't copy Naruto he's an idiot." I said "Copy me I'm smart."
"No thanks." They all said.
Shut down!
"Hey play ninjas with us." The little girl said.
"Can't." Naruto shook his head "I'm training."
"Why are you playing." Sakura grumbled walking up.
"Hey who's this?" the boy asked Naruto before he looked back and forth between the blond and Sakura "I see you and her…are like that."
"Wow he's pretty perceptive." I laughed.
"Hehehe…" Naruto laughed.
"Dead Wrong!" Sakura yelled punching Naruto across the street.
"How dare you do that to our leader you cow!" the boy yelled.
"EHHH?!" Sakura growled.
"Calm down." I said pushing her back "They're just a bunch of kids."
"Man that girl with the huge forehead is scary." The boy said.
"RAHHH!" Sakura pushed passed me and ran after Naruto and the kids.
"Guys wait!" I said chasing after them "Watch where you're going."
"OUF!"
As expected when people run around stupidly you crash into innocent people.
"That hurt…" a boy who got bumped into said.
"Hey…" I looked at them.
It was two people a boy and a girl, they both looked to be our age, the boy had face paint on and seemed to be carrying something on his back, the girl was blonde and her hair was frizzy, she also had something strange on her back.
One thing I did take note of was the bands they had on, the one around the girl's neck and the one on the boys head.
Ninjas from the Village of the Sands?
The kid with the face paint picked up Konohamaru "That hurt brat."
"Hey." I said walking up "Let's all be cool, it's was an accident."
"Cool it." The girl said "You'll get us yelled at."
"Sorry we were just playing around." Sakura sighed.
"Hey fatass put him down!" Naruto yelled.
"Naruto!" I yelled "Shut up…I'll handle this."
If they're form a different village I can't let him run wild like a buffoon.
Naruto gave me a look and shut his mouth.
"I'm sorry for our rudeness." I said standing straight "but would you please return the boy?"
"I feel like playing myself." The kid smirked.
I put my hands out "I don't think that's a good idea."
"You know I hate annoying punks." The kid said.
"Put me down!" Konohamaru whined.
"I'm not involved in this." The blonde girl sighed.
"I'll take care of this midget first and then I'll shut the rest of you up!" the boy said pulling back his fist.
"I've tried to be civil." I said grabbing his fist "Put him down or else."
He dropped the boy.
"What are you doing here?" I growled as I let him go.
"You really piss me off." Face paint said "I hate showy people.
He pulled the thing off his back and slammed it down "You don't wanna make me use Karasu."
"Kankuro stop that's enough." The girl yelled.
"Be quite."
"Kankuro Enough." A voice said "You're embarrassing yourself."
I looked back at a tree and saw a boy standing upside down, he had red hair, soulless eyes and a huge jug on his back.
"Losing control is pathetic." The red head said "We came here for a reason."
"Gaara they started it!" The boy yelled.
"Shut up or I'll kill you." The boy in the tree said.
He…acted so casual about that.
I noticed the bully was shivering "Yeah alright, it's fine, I'm sorry okay."
He has power over these two…he got into that tree without any of us knowing, not even Sasuke who's right there.
The boy vanished and appeared between the two by me "We didn't come here to play around."
"I know I-."
"We're leaving."
"Hang on." I said "What are ninjas from the Hidden Sand village doing here? You may be our allies but you can't come and go as you please. So why are you here?"
"You're dumb." The girl said "See I have a pass, we are Genin from the Village Hidden in the Sands, we came to your village to take the Chunin Exam."
The Exam…
"Okay…I buy it." I said "I'm Kale, that's Naruto, Sakura and the one in the tree is Sasuke. I introduced myself it's only fair you do the same. You with the gourd, what's your name?"
He blinked a few times "Gaara of the Desert…let's go."
The three sand ninjas left us there.
The Chunin exam…Ninjas from other villages, this won't be a fun couple of weeks.
The Next Day.
"Why does he always make us wait!" Sakura yelled.
"Mornin!" Sensei yelled from the top of the bridge.
He jumped down "I know it's a little sudden but I nominated you all for the exam."
"WHAT?!" Sakura yelled.
"Here's the application, fill them out and bring them to the school for submission." He said "By the way this is only a nomination, you don't have to take it if you don't wanna."
With that he jumped away and left us there.
"This exam." I said as the four of us walked "There's gonna be some serious people there…like those sand ninjas."
We all kept walking but I noticed Sakura walked much slower on her way home. I got back to my house and started to fill out the form. I looked at the picture of me and my teammates…my friends…
We'll all do this, together.
The Next Day.
"HEY~!" Naruto waved as Sakura walked up.
"Morning." She sighed.
"Well shall we head in?" I asked.
Sakura helped Naruto fill out his form as we entered the building, it was crowded and hard to get by. I heard people pushing and some even having a fight.
"You're gonna take the exam with that?" a teenager said "You might as well quit right now."
"Let us by." A girl said.
"Weak." The boy at the door pushed her back.
"It's not nice to hit a lady." I glared.
"Hmm?" the kid raised an eyebrow "Look I'm being nice, this exam isn't easy, I've failed three times."
"Lucky you." I said "Still that's not an excuse for beating up on that girl."
"Just thinning the herd." The boy smirked.
"The heard would have thinned enough." I said "With this dumb prank of yours."
"Hmm?"
"Hey imbacils!" I yelled at the crowd "This is the second floor!"
"You noticed."
"I walked up one flight of stairs to get here." I laughed "I might be smart but it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. Sakura and Sasuke already figured it out."
"Mhm." Sakura nodded.
"Not bad!" the kid said lifting his leg to try and kick me.
"HYUP!" I lifted my arm to block but someone jumped between us.
A thin but toned boy with a bowl cut.
"Nice." I smiled.
The boy walked away from me and over to Sakura "Pleasure to meet you I am Rock Lee. Your name is Sakura?"
"Thank you." The girl from before bowed "I appreciate that."
"Would have done it for anyone." I shrugged.
"Still." She smiled "Thanks. I'm Tenten by the way."
Wow…she's kinda cute.
"Kale." I said shaking her hand.
"Come on or we'll be late." Sakura said grabbing me and dragging me off with the other boys.
We headed up the stairs, Sakura yelled at me for picking a fight.
"Sorry, they hit that girl and I felt bad." I shrugged.
"You with the dark eyes." Lee yelled from the upper floor.
"Me?" Sasuke pointed at himself.
"Fight me." He said "Right now."
The boy jumped down from the upper floor "I am Rock Lee, I have introduced myself…"
"Sasuke Uchiha." My teammate said.
"I want to fight you and test my skills against a member of a genius ninja clan." Lee looked over and winked at Sakura before blowing her a kiss.
"AHH!" she stumbled back behind Naruto and me.
"Give my five minutes." Naruto said "That's all I need to beat Eyebrows."
Naruto charged at him but only got flipped and knocked on his ass.
"None of you can beat me, I am the strongest Leaf Genin." Rock Lee said.
"Sounds fun, let's fight." Sasuke smirked.
"We have to get to the classroom." Sakura said.
"This'll only take five minutes." Sasuke said running forward.
Sasuke only made one move before Lee smacked him around and kicked him across the room.
This guy is good.
Sasuke got up and charged at Lee with a Sharingan but only got kicked in the face. Lee jumped into the air behind Sasuke.
He hasn't used a single Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
Lee was gearing up for another attack but was stopped when a shuriken few by.
"Enough Lee."
I looked back "Sakura…I'm not crazy right?"
"I take it you see the talking turtle too.'
"Yeah…" I nodded.
"Okay, me too."
Sasuke landed on the floor with a thud, we went to check on him while the turtle yelled at Lee. A smoke bomb went off and Rock Lee's Sensei appeared, a man named Guy.
"His eyebrows…" Naruto mumbled "Their so big."
"A lot of strange people are appearing for this exam." I sighed.
Guy punched his student before hugging him in tears.
"What the hell is going on." Sakura groaned.
"I'm…so lost." I sighed.
"So, how is Kakashi doing?" Guy asked.
"You know Sensei.
"Some call us eternal rivals." He said appearing behind us.
So…fast.
"50 wins and 49 losses, I'm stronger than Kakashi." He said "Sorry about Lee, that won't happen again. I swear on my handsome face. You guys should head over to the classroom you don't wanna be late."
I looked over and saw Rock Lee wrapping his hands, they were worn and scared.
He's trained hard.
"I did come to test my abilities." Lee said as he left "But I lied about being the strongest Genin, that title belongs to another member of my team."
"This exam…" Sasuke smiled "It's getting fun."
"I agree." I nodded.
"YAHOO!" Naruto yelled.
"Yup." Sakura smiled.
"Well then, Sakura, Kale, Naruto…let's go."
We headed up the stairs and found Kakashi-Sensei waiting outside the room.
"Oh good Sakura's here too." He said "Now you can take the exam."
"What do you mean?" the girl asked.
"Truthfully you need to take the exam as a team." Sensei explained "I told you it was individual but that was a lie, I knew the boys wanted to take it but I didn't want you to pressure Sakura into taking it, I wanted her to choose to take it on her own. But you all came and I'm proud of you, so go get started."
