Journey

Hey people, long time no see. Sorry about such a long wait for this chapter. My computer just stopped working so I couldn't write up my next chapter. But now everything is fine.

Originally this chapter was meant to be completely different, but I decided to do this instead. It made writing this much easier for me.

Anyway, I don't want to make you wait any longer, so here is the 10th chapter of Naruto NG.

"Are we almost there, Naruto sensei. This is taking forever." Genkai and the rest of team 7 were currently travelling on a grassy path, heading towards the village where the chunin exams were being held.

"Would you just shut up. You've been complaining for the past thirty minutes." Satake retorted angrily.

Genkai let his arms hang lifelessly, as he sighed loudly. "Yeah, well maybe if I wasn't so bored then I wouldn't be complaining so much."

"Is that so. Well I have a game we can play." Everyone's eyes turned to face Suzuki, as they continued to walk. Everyone raised an eyebrow as she strangely gave Genkai a warm smile. However as she spoke her smile turned into an angry frown, combined with a glare that could kill. "It's called shut the hell up, or else I'll slice your throat."

Genkai gulped loudly in response, and immediately stopped moaning. Naruto was silently listening to his students, whilst smiling happily. "Don't worry guys, we'll get there soon."

The group carried on their journey, whilst at various points in time having a conversation.

On a small Grassy Hill

A boy wearing a violet shirt, with green sleeves and a pair of black trousers was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and eyes closed. He had black hair, which matched his eyes, going to his shoulders. His headband was around his forehead.

"Hey Tenka, aren't you excited about the chunin exams?" The person who had just spoken was a girl about the same age as the boy, with long black hair going half way down her back. Her eyes were bright green, whilst her outfit consisted of a pair of black shorts and a yellow shirt with short sleeves. On her clothing there were various pockets. On her back was a short wooden tube with a hole in each end. She also wore her headband around her neck.

The boy named Tenka opened one eye and glanced at the girl. "And why exactly should I be excited about the chunin exams Naruka."

Naruka smiled widely at him, before she responded to his question. "Well for starters, we might become chunin. And second, your little sister might be there." Naruka kept up the bright smile.

Tenka's expression didn't change in the slightest. He simply closed his one open eye, and began to speak in a calm voice. "Becoming a chunin is a simple part of the process, of becoming a powerful shinobi. There is no reason to get excited. And as for your second reason. I couldn't care less, weather or not she will be there. It's none of my concern."

Once she heard this statement, Naruka's warm smile immediately disappeared and was quickly replaced by a frown of displeasure. "How can you say something like that. She's your sister. What kind of person would..."

"Drop it Naruka." The boy who had interrupted Naruka was the same age as Tenka and Naruka. His eyes were brown and his hair was dark blue, and went a little past his shoulders. His headband was tied around his right arm. He wore a pair of brown trousers, and a fishnet shirt underneath a white short sleeved shirt.

Naruka turned to the other boy. "But Haru." Naruka was once again cut off by Haru.

"I said drop it. You know just as well as I do, that the chances of Tenka showing compassion for anyone but himself, is one hundred to one." Haru turned around from his spot on the edge of the hill. He gave Tenka a glare as he stared straight into his eyes.

Tenka opened both of his eyes and matched Haru's glare. For awhile the two stared at each other. If it wasn't for the sudden voice of another boy, their staring would have carried on.

"Hey come on guys, lets just be happy were getting the chance to become chunin, okay." He had messy blonde hair,and cerulean blue eyes. He wore large hooped earrings which dangled from his ears. He wore his headband on his forehead and he wore a short sleeved black shirt with, black gloves and and brown pants. He was lying on the ground facing the blue cloudy sky.

Another girl, the same age as the others came walking up the hill. She had long light blue hair, which matched her eyes. She wore her headband around her waist almost like a belt. She wore a short white shirt which only covered her chest area. If it wasn't for the bandages she wore around her stomach, her belly would have been revealed. Her shorts were white, just like her sandals. "Aright guys lets get going.. Shino sensei said it's time to head off."

Following the girl was a tall man with sunglasses, and his hands in his jacket. "Okay. Let's get going." That was all he said to his students before walking off heading down the hill in the opposite direction where he had come on to it.

The four genin who were talking all began to follow their teacher, without saying a single word.

Outside the chunin exams village

Two guards, each wearing armour were standing outside the village gates, checking the people who were entering.. Many of the people were genin and their sensei all from various villages.

One guard who had long black hair turned to his comrade. "So what do you think of this years genin"

The other guard, a bold man, turned to face his colleague. "They seem pretty weak, if you ask me. Back when I was a genin, I was as strong as an ox."

The long haired guard laughed. "Yep, that's right. Back when we were genin, we could take our opponents down in 5 seconds flat." Both men began laughing loudly and proudly.

"Is that so huh." A sudden voice interrupted the two men from their conversation. The person was a boy with spiky white hair, wearing forehead protector on his forehead with the hidden leaf symbol on it. He had bandages wrapped around his arms, from his elbows down. He wore leaf A village flak jacket, which only revealed black short sleeves which go down to his elbows. He was also wearing black trousers.

Both men turned to face the newcomer. They both looked at him with shock. The bald man was first to speak. "Wait a second. How did you get there."

The white haired boy was about eighteen years old and was standing behind the two men. " I remember you two. Didn't I beat you you two at the chunin exams. And wasn't I only six."

The long haired man began to speak in shock. "That's right. Your him." The long haired man turned to face his friend, then faced the young boy again.

The white haired boy smiled and began to walk inside the village. "Well I guess I will be seeing you guys later. Peace." The boy simply lifted a hand as he walked on.

The bold guard simply stared at the white haired teen as walked away from them, slowly becoming unseen and blending in with the crowd. "Now that's a ninja. I bet there's not a single genin competing in these exams, that can compare to him."

The black haired guard turned to his friend and nodded his head in agreement. "True. He's a real shinobi." The guard was about to carry on the conversation he was having, until he felt the presence of another person.

Standing directly in front of the black haired man was a boy, with spiky brown hair and dark green eyes. He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and a pair of black trousers. Around his waist he wore a forehead protector, as a belt.

The black haired man slowly began to look downwards. As he did so, he noticed the large blade pointed directly at his stomach. Holding onto the handle, was the young boy grinning widely. The black haired guard look directly into the boy's eyes. "You know kid. You should really get that blade away from me."

The boy began to laugh slightly. "Well maybe you should tell your friend there to apologise. Not a single genin who can compare huh. How about if I chopped your neck off. Would that show you losers who's strong."

The guard simply stared at the boy, with a deadly stare fixed on his face. "Once again kid. Move that blade." The guard was calm however at the same time there was somewhat of an angry tone.

The boy opened his mouth to speak, however he was immediately interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. "Dekai. What do you think your doing."

The boy, who's name was Dekai, turned around to face the newcomer and slowly began to place his sword on a holder on his back. The person who had just arrived was a boy the same age as Dekai. He had long black hair and red eyes.

Once again the boy asked the question. "I said, what are you doing. Sensei told us to make it the rest of the way to the village, without attracting attention to ourselves." This other boy stared at Dekai angrily.

Dekai sighed loudly, then placed his hands behind his head, as he turned around and frowned at the other boy. "Oh come on Shinji. Why can't we just have a little fun? I won't tell if you don't."

The boy named Shinji didn't respond at all, all he did was carry on giving Dekai a cold stare. Dekai knew exactly what to do and walked to stand next to Shinji and three other people who had arrived behind him. "Fine."

Shinji looked at the the two men and spoke calmly. "Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my... friend. I hope that we can let bygones be bygones." Shinji stared at the men stood before him.

The guard with hair glanced angrily at Dekai. He then shifted his glare at Shinji and the other members of the group. "You may enter."

The group of five began to walk through the village gates, earning stares from the angry guards. The bold guard shook his head at the genin. "That kid had some nerve. If it wasn't for his friend I might have had to teach him a lesson."

The guard with hair nodded his head at his friend. "That's right. These genin need someone to teach them how to have some manners." Both guards nodded their heads at each other in agreement.

I'll update the next chapter soon, so please keep reading and don't forget to review.
