"Ne! Ne! Sasuke! Do you think we'll become Chunin?" Naruko asked, poking her boyfriend in the ribs as they walked towards the academy together.

"Who knows, maybe. There will certainly be a lot of strong people there though." Sasuke said.

"I hope we do. It would be so cool! Hehe! Imagine if I became a ninja and Neji-nii-san didn't!" Naruko said, giggling.

"Sasuke! Naruko!" Sakura called, waving from the academy doors as the two approached.

"Hey Sakura!" Naruko called back to her, waving with a wide smile. Then she ran up to the girl and jumped up and down. "We're doing it! We're actually taking the Chunin Exams!"

Sakura giggled. "Calm down Naruko, yes, we are, but they'll be dangerous, so we have to focus."

"Un!" Naruko said with a nod of her head.

The trio walked into the academy and up the stairs when they saw a fight with a bunch of kids around it. They made their way through the crowd only to see her brother's team there. Getting beaten too!

But something wasn't right to Naruko... the way they were acting, it wasn't like them, they were stronger than that. She was about to bring this up to her teammates when she saw a fist fly towards her brother, and immediately lost all common sense.

She ran in front of her brother and caught the fist, after all, she was fast, faster than her brother.

"Imouto, what are you doing?" Neji asked to her lowly, if people knew they were family, they would surely use it as an advantage.

"Not bad, for a girl." The boy said, smirking.

Naruko got a tick on her forehead and her eye twitched. "What did you say to me?" She asked quietly.

"I said, not bad, for a weak little girl anyways!" He taunted, smirking.

"Oh crap." Neji muttered, face palming.

"Oh... isn't that nice of you to say." Naruko said, before she smiled sweetly and clenched her fist tightly. She slammed it into his jaw and flew back and through a wall. People stared in amazement and fear as her red hair was suddenly floating upwards and she started yelling. "You bastard! You stupid sexist bastard! I'm gonna kill you for saying that!"

"It's the Red Hot Habanero!" She heard someone yell from the crowd.

The boy who was punched through the wall who had stood up, suddenly backed away in fear. "Wait, you're that chick!?"

"YEP! AND YOU'RE GONNA GET THE BEATING OF YOU LIFETIME TTEBAYO!" She screamed, before her brother grabbed the back of her shirt and sighed.

"Naruko, calm down." He said.

"What?! Did you hear what he said to me?! And he tried to punch you! This guy deserves a beating!" Naruko exclaimed.

"I know, but we need to get to the room before we're disqualified." Neji said.

Naruko growled before putting her fists down to her sides. "You got lucky!" She said to the boy before going to her own team and walking to the room where they were supposed to go.

"Saaassuuukkkeee-kuuunnn!" They heard squealed before Ino glomped Sasuke.

Naruko growled under her breath and only Sakura heard it, making her giggle mentally.

"Ne, Ino, you might wanna get off of him. Sasuke's dating someone." Sakura said harshly, she was protective of her teammates, plus, she had to admit, the two made a cute couple.

"What Forehead-girl! Are you trying to tell me Sasuke is dating YOU? Cause I know he would never date you since I'M here." Ino said.

"No, he's not dating me, but he is dating-"

"ME! I don't care that your my friend right now Ino! Get your paws off my boyfriend!" Naruko said, stomping her foot angrily.

"YOUR boyfriend?!" Ino asked in shock.

"Yes Ino." Sasuke said.

"EHHHHH!?" She shouted.

Sasuke was honestly having this chick who wasn't his girlfriend on his back, so he simply leaned back so she fell off and walked to Naruko and took her hand.

"Wait! So this is real?!" Ino shrieked.

"Yep!" Naruko said, kissing Sasuke on the cheek making him smile lightly at her.

Ino was suddenly very gloomy and hugged her knees to her chest on the ground her teammates walking over.

"Hn, troublesome." Shikamaru said as Choji munched on a bag of chips.

"Well! Look who's here!" Kiba shouted as his team walked over to the two teams.

"Hey Dog Breath." Naruko said. She had never really liked Kiba, she hated him, actually. Maybe it was because she grew up with two not so loud boys?

"Hi Tomato!" Kiba mocked.

Naruko got a tick in her forehead and was on the verge of just killing Kiba when Sasuke silently squeezed her hand, making her calm down and keep a level head.

"Maybe you should stop attracting so much attention to yourselves." A silver-haired guy said to them.

The group looked out at the crowd only to see EVERYONE looking at them. Oops.

"Here, since you're all newbies, I'll help you out. My name's Kabuto by the way." The silver-haired guy said.

He then took out a stack of cards and showed them to the group, they were all blank on one side and the other side was decorated.

"Hey, why do you have cards if they're just blank?" Sakura asked.

Kabuto laughed. "They're not blank, they just need my chakra to activate them. These are cards that have information on anyone you want, so, give me a name."

"Gaara Sabaku." Sasuke said.

"Aw, you have his name? No fun." Kabuto said, taking out a card and spinning it around with one finger until information appeared in it. "Let's see, Gaara Sabaku, a Sand shinobi, He's got two siblings, who happen to be his teammates, Temari and Kankuro. His team has completed 20 D-ranks, 4 C-ranks, and, wow! 2-B ranks, I wonder how he swung that! The only other information on here is that he's come back from every mission unharmed."

"What?! How does he come back from a B-rank unharmed? Even Jounin have trouble with that!" Sakura said.

"Who knows?" Kabuto said. He then went on to explain the number of people in the exam from each nation and why and so on and so on. That's when, a sound team that was listening in and didn't like what he was saying, decided to step in.

The team went forward and one of them took a punch at Kabuto who stepped away and avoided it, smirking. But then he quickly keeled over and barfed, making everyone confused.

A large man shunshined into the room. "I'm your proctor for this exam, Ibiki Morino. Now, get up here and take your numbers and sit down maggots!" He yelled at them.

They all scurried to their numbers and Naruko found her seat. She sat down and noticed Neji was sitting in the back row, she turned and waved at him, smiling widely. He smiled back at her and gave her a small wave. She then looked and found Sasuke a few row in front of Neji. She waved to him as well and saw him smile slightly at her, looking her in the eyes. She blushed and turned around, and realized someone now occupied the seat next to her.

"Oh hello-" She began to say.

"Naruko." She heard bit out harshly.

She narrowed her eyes. "Hinata." She acknowledged just as coldly.

Naruko had felt some sympathy to her cousin in the academy, but now, she hated the bitch. Hinata had grown to hate the head family after her mother had died from some disease after giving birth to her little sister. Apparently, some main family Hyuga had an affair with her mother, but no one knew who. So after Hanabi, he sister, was born, her mother died, and no one claimed her little sister as their child.

Due to this, Hinata had to take care of her little sister by herself. She hated the main family as no one knew who it was. Sure, there were several people who they thought it was, but no one in particular, just some of the lower main branch men.

Ever since then, not only was Hinata mean to the main family, but especially towards her and Neji. For some reason, they were the ones she blamed the most. Therefore, Neji and her had grown to hate Hinata as well. The saddest thing was that she was not a prodigy whatsoever.

Hinata had always been weak, she had never been able to actually get the Hyuga techniques down, always failing and being seen as a true failure by the elders. Maybe that was why she hated them so much.

Naruko and Neji had always been prodigies ever since they were little. Neji had been gifted with the most amazing Byakugan yet, being able to see chakra points, and was always able to master new techniques faster than almost every other Hyuga. Naruko, even though she didn't have Byakugan, she might have been truly the most gifted. She was still allowed to learn Hyuga techniques, and through the help of Neji, she was able to fight just like him. Except, she didn't need her vision to do it, and to shut down all of a person's chakra points.

Naruko ended her train of thought when the proctor stood up and explained how the test would be taken. Naruko was finding something a bit fishy about the test, but couldn't figure out what. She shrugged, maybe it would come to her at some point.

When Naruko got her paper her eyes widened, she didn't know a single one of these! Sure, she wasn't as good as her boyfriend or her brother at retaining knowledge, but she couldn't be this bad! Right?

She slammed her head down and looked at Hinata in envy as she started scribbling things down on the paper. Damn! The one area her cousin could beat her in!

She turned around and saw Sakura writing as well, and saw Sasuke smirking. Though it wasn't his confident smirk, it was more of his 'shit, I have no idea what to do, but I'll make other think I do' smirk, that he used very rarely.

She sighed and slumped her head down on the desk, trying to figure out what to do. What was she supposed to do? She didn't have the smarts! Plus they said not to cheat! If only she could cheat in some way that she wouldn't get caught! After all, that's what cheating was!

Wait a second... cheat without getting caught. She narrowed her eyes and looked around the room. She saw Dog Breath's dog looking around and quietly yipping to him as he wrote down answers. Neji had his Byakugan activated rows behind her. Tenten had mirrors on the ceiling she took into account and saw her and Lee glancing up at them. Then she saw Sasuke equip his Sharingan and start copying the movements of someone in front of him.

That was it!

They COULD cheat, they just had to do it well! In a way that they wouldn't get caught. Naruko thought of what she may be able to do to get answers and snapped her fingers as she came up with the answer.

She quickly shot a line of chakra to the mirrors on the ceiling that Tenten was using and turned them to her, so she could view them. Taking a mental note of all the answers, she quickly wrote them down on her own paper.

She kicked back and waited for the test to be over as she had already finished writing, and watched as Ibiki started to psych them out by explaining the 10th question to them. She wasn't afraid though.

She was Naruko Hyuga! She could do anything!

She slammed her fists on the table and stood up. "Listen up, cause I ain't gonna say it twice! My name's Naruko Hyuga and I'm not afraid of your stupid tests! Bring it on! I'll pass it with no trouble!"

Hey guys! New story up! Just wanted to tell you guys about it! I'm excited for it almost excited as I was for this one! (Though a little bit less, because I was REALLY pumped for this story). I'm getting to a point where updates might be slower than before though. Not only do I have a lot of work and tests coming up, but I have a few projects and a paper as well. But the thing that slows me down the most is that honestly the biggest weakness I have as a writer is definitely writing battle scenes. I have absolutely zero motivation to write them, and they have always seemed boring to me. So, yeah, basically, slower updates.

NEW STORY!

THE RED FLASH

What if Kushina had survived the Kyuubi attack? What if Naruko was born as a red head? What if the Flying Thunder God was just a bloodline, not a jutsu? Everything would have changed, and Naruko would be a completely different person. Raised among the sand rather than the leaves, she would also be changed. And what happens when she meets another little red head? FEM!Naru x Gaara
