Broken Journey chapter 11.
Suna's Chuunin Exam.
Hikasa slowly got up and looked around the room he was in. It was a hotel room he saw a television, nightstand, chairs, desk. Hikasa got out of bed and immediately felt the pain run through his body, The memory of the beating he had just received hours earlier flooded back into his mind. "Where the hell am i?" Hikasa questioned to the night. Hikasa over to a mirror. "Damn we seriously got our ass's handed to us." Hikasa said to his reflection.
"Yes you did." Hikasa turned around immediately and drew his kunai. "Who the hell are you?" Hikasa asked raising his kunai.
The man was wearing a simple suna Chuunin uniform and had short brown hair. "Woah woah woah their buddy hold the kunai back a minute." Said the young sand Chuunin.
Hikasa looked the man over and didn't flinch nor lower the kunai. "Explain yourself."
The man smiled wide. "My name is Dorean, I'm a Chuunin here in Suna, I saw the little ass kicking you received and decided to help you guys out it seriously looked like you needed it."
Hikasa stared daggers through the man. "And my team where are they?" Hikasa questioned
Dorean looked at Hikasa and sighed. "The one called Taeku is already awake he is in the bathroom taking a shower, Ami is in another room still sleeping. If you want to take a chance and try my cooking i can fix you something real quick here." Dorean said smiling.
Hikasa lowered his kunai. "Please take me to Ami." Hikasa said placing his kunai at his side.
Dorean smiled "Oh i see." He said raising his hand and making a fist with his pinky finger extended "Shes your this."
Hikasa immediately blushed and went stiff.
Dorean smiled. "Oh don't worry about it." Dorean said turning around "Follow me."
Hikasa walked out and noticed the place was pretty clean for someone Doreans age sure he was a Chuunin and all but he couldn't have been more then 22-23. "Dorean was it?" Hikasa asked the man.
"Yo." Dorean said going into the kitchen.
"I was wondering if you don't mind me asking. How do you keep this place so clean, I mean nothing against you but for someone your age to have a house so clean it's not really thought of." Hikasa said looking at the ground embarrassed.
"Oh." Dorean said whipping some eggs. "Well me and my wife share this place and she keeps it clean."
Hikasa looked up. "You have a wife at your age." Hikasa said bewildered 'Why is everyone getting married so early first Taeku is already engaged then this guy' what is the matter with everyone, am i just a freak.' Hikasa said worried in his mind that he was born with some birth defect of love.
Dorean smiled "Yeah shes a real beauty." Dorean said with the frying pan sizzling some bacon.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BURGLAR " Came a woman's voice from around the corner. Just then a young woman who was Dorean's age with short brown hair came running around the corner with a bath robe around her and came running up to Dorean. "Oh Dorean you have to help there is some weirdo in our shower!" She begged clutching onto Dorean.
Dorean sighed. "that's not some weirdo." Dorean said removing the woman from him. "that's a guy i helped out earlier i said it was okay for him to take a shower."
The young lady looked at Dorean and her facial expression immediately changed.
Hikasa's eyes widened he had seen that look on the face of Sakura on times where she would go on to beat Naruto-Sensei to within an inch of his life, he knew Dorean was in big trouble.
"You let someone you barely know...come Into our house... Without letting me know" Said the young lady with silent killing intent through her voice.
Dorean noticed this as well and slowly backed off. "Now now Mimi you are over reacting here." Dorean said raising his hands defensively and laughing a little bit.
Mimi raised her hand as if to smack him and Dorean flinched, but her hand went and gently caressed his face. "Maybe i am over reacting just a little." She said.
Dorean let out a deep breath.
"But then again i could be wrong." Mimi said launching Dorean threw the open window and out onto the streets of suna.
Hikasa stared wide eyed at the young woman.
"God dammit that hurt." Came Taeku's voice as he stumbled out into the room. He was wearing a pair of athletic shorts and a fishnet with his hair down and i giant bump on his forehead.
The young woman looked from Hikasa to Taeku and sighed. "Come here and I'll fix you up." Mimi said sitting down and moving the bacon around.
Taeku looked up at her. "What are you crazy just so i can get another ass whopping i don't thin..."
Mimi looked backed at Taeku with a smile that had killer intent written all over it.
"Yes ma'am." Taeku said coming over and sitting down next to her.
Dorean came back through the door mumbling something about having a terrible wife.
"Did you say something Hun" Mimi said giving that wicked smile of hers.
"No, nothing at all hunny." Dorean said grumbling and sitting down next to the other boys.
"So you boys are here to take the Chuunin exams?" Mimi asked of Hikasa and Taeku.
Taeku refused to acknowledge her and instead messed with the huge bump on his forehead. "Yes we are." Hikasa said simply.
"Well you guys sure picked a tough year." Mimi said laughing and putting the food onto plates.
Hikasa looked up "And whys that."
Dorean smiled gently. "Well this year it looks like the genin from around the world are truly outstanding." Dorean said poking at the eggs that were just laid in front of him.
Hikasa and Taeku both gave him questioning looks.
"Well you see me and Mimi have been watching the news lately on the Chuunin exams and it appears that several high ranking teams are coming." He said putting a piece of bacon in his mouth.
"High ranking?" Hikasa asked.
"Yes, due to the fact that it's so hard to get any info on the genin that enter the Chuunin exams and yet it's such a popular event. Kazekage-Sama has instituted a ranking system so all the regular people can get a good idea of the entrants to the exam and so that the foreign nobles can get a good look at the villages they want to do their missions." Mimi said pouring everyone a glass of apple juice.
Taeku's head shot up immediately. "How do these rankings work." He asked.
"Well you see we take information and records from the villages and figure out what kind of missions these genin have completed and the level of techniques there at and a whole bunch of other stuff that i have no idea how to figure out." Mimi answered.
Hikasa looked over at Taeku "But i thought that information between the villages has been cut down recently." He said.
Dorean looked at him. "Well it has but peace talks have been allowed at least some of the documents to come loose, the only problem is the sound. They have released absolutely nothing on their genin entering the exams this year." Dorean said looking at his food.
Taeku who was busy stuffing his face looked at him for a second then went back to stuffing his face.
"But those who are on high ranking teams have become like celebrities lately." Mimi said flipping on the t.v. and switching it to a channel that was carrying the exams. "See there that's team Amaru from the stone their one of the highest ranking teams out there." Mimi said looking at them.
Taeku chocked on his food a bit and Hikasa immediately turned around and looked at the television. A promo was being given by Huron on why everyone should come out and watch his team win this thing.
Taeku and Hikasa both shared glances at each other before turning back toward the television. The glances did not escape Dorean's eyes.
"Oh and look there that's the #1 ranked team in the exams." Mimi said turning the volume up on the television.
"And right here we have the #1 ranked team going into the Chuunin exams from the village hidden in the leaves Team Anko." Said the man on the television zooming in on Kunakeda, Momigi, and Bree.
"What the fuck!" Taeku said jumping to his feet.
Dorean and Mimi both stared at Taeku as if he was crazy.
"I really cant believe this after everything that's happened THEY get ranked #1 i cant believe this it's absolutely unforgivable." Taeku said and started going off on a rant about the injustice.
Dorean looked at Hikasa. "Whats his problem?" He questioned.
Hikasa sighed. "It's a long story but the short of it is Taeku is engaged to Bree and Momigi is his sister." Hikasa said looking closely at the television as Anko threatened the television crew if they didn't leave now.
Dorean and Mimi both exchanged the wtf is wrong with these kids glance.
Taeku sat back down but wouldn't take his eyes of the television.
"And well after the rudeness that was shown by team Anko we have found the #3 ranked team, from the village hidden in the grass Team Keyes." The camera shot in on three young men who were obviously a few years older then Team Naruto. One of the young men stood up he was wearing a mask so you couldn't see his face but you could tell that his hair was blue. "This here that I'm wearing is an ANBU mask... I killed the man that was wearing this an ANBU from the village hidden in the sand. He said looking dead into the camera. Write this down the genin from the village hidden in the Grass definite Chuunin." He said walking back over to his team.
Taeku and Hikasa's eyes were set dead on the screen the entire time. "That one' speaks to much." Hikasa said. "Yeah... But he's powerful." Taeku said.
Dorean looked at the concentration the boys had on the screen and smiled looking at Mimi.
"doesn't really matter though does it." Taeku said looking over at Hikasa.
Hikasa nodded his head in agreement. "Well just have to kick their ass anyway."
Taeku turned to Mimi "Is there anyway we can find out where were ranked?" He questioned
Mimi smiled "As a matter of fact Dorean here has been helping out on the committee for the Chuunin exams, he should know exactly where your ranked.
Both boys turned and looked at Dorean.
Dorean sighed. "21 teams from Iwa, 18 teams from konoha, 15 teams from kiri, 10 teams from Suna, 8 teams from Kusa and Ame, 6 teams from Yuki and Taki, 3 teams from Tsuki, and 1 team from Oto." Dorean said pausing for a second. "For a total of 96 teams, Team Naruto: Hikasa Hyuuga, Taeku Row, and Ami Cameia rank 87" Dorean said sadly.
Taeku and Hikasa both looked at each other. "So were one of the ten worst teams aye." Taeku said looking at the ground.
Hikasa was looking at the ground also but he smiled.
"Guess that means we have to kick everyone's ass to prove them wrong." Came the voice of Ami from the doorway.
Taeku and Hikasa turned around and so Ami and smiled at her. "Got that right" They both said in unison.
Dorean looked at the three and smiled. "Perhaps... The fools do have a chance."
Team Naruto walked into the building that was the scheduled meeting area for the genin and when they walked it it shocked them, it sure looked like a hell of a lot more then 96 teams.
"You know 96 teams with three people a team equals 288 people total." Hikasa said looking the room over.
Taeku stood their counting his fingers.
"So you guys are ranked pretty far down to."
Team Naruto turned around to see three young genin walking toward them.
"Hello were team Clo from the Snow village." Said a young boy with glasses and white hair. Behind him were two other genin one was wearing a white robe with black hair and their was a girl with blond hair who wore a dress similar to Ami's but was gray with green marks on her face.
Hikasa looked over at him. "Were team Naruto from the Leaf village." Hikasa said while Taeku glared daggers at the other team.
"So you guys are ranked 87 were ranked far down to 85, us rookies get no credit do we." Said the young man with white hair.
Taeku remained silent but Ami seemed to be comfterble with them. "Well i guess we just have to show them what we rookies can do." Hikasa said extending his hand to the boy with white hair. "Hikasa Hyuuga." Hikasa said.
The boy with white hair shook his hand. "Mirko Gedo".
Hikasa shook his hand a minute longer and let it go. "These are my team mates Ami Cameia shes the beauty with blond hair, and that's Taeku Row the idiot with the ponytail." Hikasa said.
Mirko laughed for a minute. "These are my team mates the one with black hair that's Wladimer Jushin, and the girl with blond hair that's Hana Watanabe." Said Mirko pointing at his team mates.
"Nice to meet you." Hikasa said smiling at his Mirko's team.
The boy in the white robe spit near Hikasa's foot.
"Wladimer don't be so rude!" Mirko said turning toward his partner. "When the time comes we may need to team with these guys there the only other rookie team i see here." Mirko said glaring at his partner.
"Wladimer you really shouldn't do that what if one of his partner took that the wrong way and attacked us." Said Hana speaking for the first time.
Wladimer snarled at both of them. "If that was the case i would have to kick their ass." Wladimer said smiling. "And so what if we might need allies for later in the exam, we definitely need these losers help."
Mirko shook his head in disappointment.
"You know if you want someone to fight... I'm game." Taeku said stepping forward.
Wladimer smiled at him. "And why would i want to fight someone as weak as you" Wladimer's eyes shot up when he felt a kunai being pressed to his neck.
"You know you should always watch your opponet or they might just perform a jutso before you even talk to them." Taeku said as his Mizu Bunshin dissipated.
"Taeku stop!" Hikasa said glaring at his partner.
Mirko got in between everyone. "Come on now, were rookies here we should stick together." Mirko said smiling nervously and sticking his hands in between Taeku and Wladimer.
Taeku backed up and smiled at Wladimer while Wladimer scowled at him.
Hikasa tapped Mirko on the shoulder. "Looks like were not the only ones who are having trouble getting along."
Mirko looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Now this should be good." Mirko said turning around and pointing toward a group of people.
Taeku looked over and put his face in his hands. "They just don't stop do they" He said as he watched the scene.
Team Anko was standing there looking at a group of genin from the sound village.
"And maybe you would like to see what kind of powers the genin of the sound have wouldn't you... Or maybe you just want a taste of a real man." Said one of the sound genin a tall guy with messy black hair.
Momigi looked at him disgusted. "Like i would ever want to touch a loser like you."
The tall guy with black hair stepped forward. "How dare you insult me like that you little bitch I'll show you a lesson in respect.
The tall guy jumped forward but so did Momigi. Just then a person appeared in between them and stopped there two punches with his hands. "You know it is very rude to start fighting before the exams start." Said a genin with long red hair that covered his entire face.
The sound genin and Momigi both backed away from the young man.
A boy with short black hair and a outfit similar to what kiba used to wear stepped forward. "Your names what what are they."
Momigi turned toward the guy who just spoke. "So your genin from the village hidden in the mist." She said looking as the boy came to a stop before the guy with red hair.
Kunakeda stepped forward. Kunakeda had short black hair with glasses on with a fishnet shirt on and camo pants on. "We are also wanting to know your names.
The boy with red hair smiled at him. "I am Mashimaru Legano, and this here is my partner Harikamo Sato, and farther over there is are partner Jade Kanti." Said Mashimaru.
The Sound genin smiled at all of them. "I am Mamarou, my male friend over there is Ali, and the woman over there is Takeuchi." He said moving back over to his sound partners.
Bree was busy looking at the other teams when she noticed Taeku standing over there with his team and she waved.
Taeku saw the gesture. "Come on lets go find some place to sit it's getting weird in here." Taeku said turning his back on Bree and walking off to one of areas.
Hikasa noticed the interaction and turned to Mirko. "Come join us I'm sure we could help each other out during this exam." He said smiling.
Mirko nodded his head and motioned for his teammates to follow him.
"That one guy with red hair was fast." Said Hiroshi as he watched the three teams fall back into their places.
"Yeah." Said Rin simply.
"Well it looks like we might actually get some competition here." Azura said slamming his fist into his palm. "And there's nothing wrong with that." He said smiling at his partners.
"Just sit down and get ready i see a team coming are way." Rin said pushing Azura back down into his seat.
"May we sit down?" Asked the young man.
"Of course." Rin said smiling at the young man.
The young man moved his hand toward Rin. "And may i ask your name?"
"You certainly may." Rin said smiling at him. "And it's Rin by the way."
"that's a very nice name and how about your friends?" Asked the young man as his team sat down next to them.
"My name is Azura Girrep." Said Azura pointing at his chest.
Rin pushed Azura back down into his seat. "Idiot quit trying to show off like that it's not like your lazy ass to do that." Rin said pushing him down farther.
"I am Hiroshi Marufuji." Said Hiroshi simply.
"And may we know your names?" Asked Rin after having tied Azura to his chair.
The boy smiled at them. "I am Mokoto Norokushita." said the young man smiling at team Lee. "From team Amaru rank #4. And over there is my beauty Rei Zakumaki" He said bringing her into a hug.
"And what about your friend there?" Rin asked of the tall boy with red eyes.
The boy behind them acted before anyone could react and Hiroshi hand was up with a kunai in it "Sorry i thought i saw someone ready to attack you." The boy said smiling and offering his hand out for the kunai.
"You should be more careful a kunai is not a toy." Hiroshi said handing the boy his kunai back.
"Oh and my name is Huron Yun." Huron said smiling sadistically at Hiroshi.
Rin looked back and forth between them. 'wow... That one is fast... I didn't barely saw him throw that kunai... And this chakra he gives off... This one... Seriously. He's strong, not just that but Hiroshi also caught it... How powerful is Hiroshi seriously... He's not the same kid he was when were were genin... What has Lee-Sensei done to him' Thought Rin as she looked at Huron.
'I did not think anyone in think anybody in the exam would be able to match my speed but wow, this one is extremely fast... If i am to fight him at some point i may need to use... That...' Thought Hiroshi looking at Huron.
"You know, i seriously think we might get to have some fun with some of these teams." Vaan said looking over the room from his seat.
Kito got up from sleeping and yawned. "Seriously do you feel the chakra coming off of some of these guys... The one with the ANBU mask from the grass and that tall one with the red eyes from the stone." Kito said and followed it with a low whistle. "Bad ass chakra."
Faye looked at them as if they were crazy. "Who cares about how powerful they are" She said looking the crowd over with stars in her eyes. "Look at all the cute guys that one guy Kunakeda i think he said his name was, and then that Hikasa guy from yesterday, and that one guy from the stone with the red eyes. Their complete dreams." She said squealing at the thought of them.
Kito looked at her as if she was high and then looked over at Vaan. "Is it alright if we murder her, you don't think Kankurou-Sensei will mind do ya?" Kito asked of Vaan
"Im not sure about that... But i think it's about time we shut the fuck up." Vaan said turning in his seat and sitting strait up.
"What the hell are you..." Kito was cut off.
"GET THE FUCK IN LINE YOU PATHETIC LITTLE WEAKLINGS!!!" Came a booming voice and a figure in the doorway.
'Oh damn that's are first examiner.' Thought Kito.
"WHY THE HELL WERE YOU ALL UP AND ABOUT GET THE HELL IN A SEAT... NOW" Came the angry voice of Baki as he stood up in front of the genin.
Baki looked the crowd of genin over. "Good now that your all seated we can start explaining the first test." Baki said motioning for the door to be opened.
The entire crowd of genin sweatdroped.
"Hello my name is Baki and i am your examiner for the first round." Baki said as the door opened and in walked several Suna Chuunin. "Now the first test is a written exam." Baki said as the Chuunin's walked through the isles handing out a paper to each person. "Im going to explain the rules to you, You will ask no question's and you will not interrupt me if you do so you will immediately be disqualified"
Baki said which caused a shiver to go down the genin's spines. "Good, now for the first rule Test takers start off holding the perfect score of 10 points. The test consists of 10 question's and one point is subtracted from your initial total for every question answered incorrectly. Second, This test is a team event. Meaning that passing is determined by combining each teams total score. Third, Those caught stealing will be subtracted two points for each offense. Final, Those that lose all their points during the exam and those that fail to answer any questions correctly will fail along with their teammates." Baki said turning toward the genin. "That is the purpose of these Chuunin, they will constantly have their eyes on you during this exam to make sure you aren't cheating." Baki said smiling a wicked smile at the young genin. "begin." Baki said smiling at the genin as they all moved to their papers.
