Chūnin Exams. Chapter eleven.

Sakura,Sasuke, Kin, Naruto, and Kakashi were all training and sparing. It was Sakura vs. Kin. Sasuke vs. Kakashi. And Naruto vs. Rock. Kakashi told them they could stop early today and to meet at the bridge tomorrow, with that Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Oi, Sakura Wait up!" Naruto called after her.

"Yeah Naruto? Is something wrong?" Sakura asked.

"No I just wanted to walk home with you that's all." Naruto half pleaded half questioned.

"Oh yeah that's fine, Kin, Sasuke you want to come to?" Sakura asked.

Naruto sweat dropped at her stupidity and Kin snickered while Sasuke smirked. They all started walking home ignoring Naruto's protest to walk alone with Sakura. They were walking down a ally way when they ran into Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon. The three kids messed with Naruto in tell they saw Sakura.

"Who are you? Bosses girlfriend." Konohamaru asked Sakura.

Sakura guessed they were referring to Naruto as there boss.

"No." Sakura answered simply as Naruto yelled yes.

Sasuke and Kin sent Naruto deadly glares, while Sakura wacked him on the back of the head and scolded him for lying and claiming she was his girlfriend. The three kids ran ahead not looking we're they we're going and bumped into three strangers.

"S-Sor-rry." Moegi stuttered out, looking terrified of the boy towering over her.

The three Ninja were from Suna, from what Sakura could tell. There was a red headed boy who looked their age maybe a year younger he wore a short sleeved fishnet top and then faded all black and black Capri like pants and a white shahs around his upper torso it held a weird gorge thing on his back.

The other boy had full black long sleeved jacket on with his hood up and it had cat ears on the top his face was painted with purple streaks and had a bandaged bag that was his size on his back.

The girl had blonde hair in four buns in the back of her head, she carried a huge fan from what Sakura could tell and wore a white dress with red belt. And fish net shorts underneath her dress.

"Watch it Brats." The boy in all black snarled.

"Show your permits." Sakura stated curiously and on guard.

"Huh, Sakura what are you talking about." Naruto asked.

Sakura sighed and then explained." Naruto if you are to enter another village you have to have permits to be In the village, so a ninja can see them and know you won't attack the village. It's for safety." Sakura explained patiently.

The three Ninja pulled out there permits and showed her.

"Suna huh? What would bring you out here?" Sakura questioned suspiciously.

"You sure are suspicious aren't you." The boy in black said.

"Well if you must know, I'm here because I had a dream about a beautiful girl who has pink hair and emerald eyes and just had to meet her." the boy purred.

Sakura rolled her eyes, and then grabbed his arm that he was extending towards her and she put it behind his back in a position were he wouldn't be able to struggle and get away.

"Listen here lover boy, my patients is wearing thin, you have three seconds to talk before I kill you." Sakura said in a fake cheery voice.

"Lover boy I like it." He said teasingly.

Sakura released her hold on him and pushed him away form her. She started to walk away when he called after her.

"Hey wait sweetheart we haven't even introduced are selves!" The boy yelled.

She halted in leaving and turned around on her heel. " I'll put this as simply as possible cause I don't think your getting it. Fuck. Off." Sakura said.

"Kankuro leave the girl alone." the girl scolded.

"I'm just flirting Temari, she may be are opponents or the Chūnin exams.

That caught Sakuras attention very fast she stopped walking and turned around and asked them " Your here for the Chūnin exams?".

"Yeah are you partaking?" The red head boy asked.

Temari and Kankuro looked surprised that their little brother talked.

"I don't know yet." she said.

Konohamaru tripped and fell into Kankuro again. Kankuro picked him up by his scarf and snapped " What'd I say watch it!" he brought back his fist to punch him but he found his body immobile, he growled "Gaara what's the purpose of this."

Sakura stepped forward and took the child out of his hands and set him on the ground. And then turned to leave, but before she could Gaara called out to her.

"You did that? You controlled the Sand." Gaara questioned confused.

She didn't answer she just looked back for a moment before Kin caught up to her and they left with Naruto yelling behind them and Sasuke waiting at the corner.

The next morning at practice Sakura showed up a hour late and she was happy she did because she only had to wait and hour in tell Kakashi came. Kakashi told them about the Chūnin exams and said it wad their individual choice and Kin immedently declined.

"Sakura and I shouldn't do it." Kin said. And followed up with " Its very dangourous for us and hunters and power seekers will be in The exams waiting for us."

Sakura thought about it and came to a desicission. "I want to." Sakura said.

"It's great experience and I think I'm ready." Sakura said.

"I don't." Kin said.

"I don't care what you think." she snarled at him and walked off furiously.

"Sakura, wait I didn't mean that." Kin called running after her, In response he got flipped off and thrown backward ten feet.

"I think she's mad at you." Naruto said teasingly.

"You don't think I know that." Kin growled.

Kakashi gathered the group again after ten minutes, of letting Sakura cool off. And told them were to meet and it was tomorrow morning. He gave them slips to fill out.

"Sakura how can I make it up to you?" Kin pleaded.

"Don't take the exam." Sakura said.

"What!?" Kin yelled as Kakashi and the others watched amused.

"You heard me, the only way I'm forgiving you for being an asshole, is if you don't take the exams." Sakura said with a snap of attitude when she swore.

"Saku, I'm not letting you take the exams alone." Kin said worriedly.

"I don't need your help." She growled back.

"Sakura I didn't want either of us to take them and now you want me to let you take them all alone, not going to happen." Kin said as nicely as he could.

"Well you don't have a choice do you." Sakura said with a smirk.

"You were going to do it either way weren't you." Kin said exasperatedly.

"Yep, just this way your forgiven in the end." she said as he sighed.

The next morning Sakura got up and took a shower and put on a short sleeved zip up hoodie and pulled the hoodie over her hair, she wore a white tank good under the black hoodie. She put on denim short shorts and ran formed her weapons into Bobbie pens and bit them in th back of her hair.

Sasuke was wearing black shorts and a white V-neck long sleeved shirt with the uchiha symbol on the back. He put all his weapons in his pouch.

Naruto wore his normal orange sweats.

They all met at the bridge but someone was already there waiting for them. Gaara and his two teammates standing beside him.

"Ah just who I wanted to see." Sakura said her voice dripping with Sarcasm.

"We need to talk." Gaara said gesturing towards Sakura to fallow him. Sakura reluctantly did.

"About what?" Sakura finally asked breaking the silence.

"You can control sand?" Gaara more stated then asked.

"Yes I'm pretty sure we determined that yesterday." Sakura said with a little attitude.

"Okay, I to can control Sand but I can because I have a Jinchuuriki inside me, the one tails." Gaara stated.

"So how does this effect me?" Sakura asked.

"You shouldn't be able to control sand it's only a Jinchuuriki and host thing. Somehow cam you?" Gaara asked.

"I have no clue, trust me when I say that I don't know how I can do a lot of things lately. I just can it feels right." Sakura confessed.

Gaara just stared at her for a minute. "You better get going don't want to be late for the Chūnin exams." Gaara said.

"How'd you know I was entered." she asked curiously.

"Your forms." Gaara stated simply and Sakura felt stupid for being do suspicious.

"Sorry." Sakura said shyly with a slight blush.

"It's okay, good luck, next time we won't be acquaintances, well be enemy's." Gaara said darkly.

Sakura understood what he meant, she was a bit confused by his mood swings though. She turned on her heel and jogged back to the bridge and soon after Kakahsi appeared only ten minutes late.

"This has to be a dream." Sakura said.

"Haha very funny, let's go you have to be registered by three." Kakashi said.

When they walked in the stood in line with their sensi for about thirty minutes, Then after there paper work was turned in Kakashi brought them to a pair of white double doors and said he couldnt go any farther. Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi all scowled at another boy who checked Sakura out. the last hour boys had winked, whistled, smiled, and started at Sakura. Some tried to approach her but most didn't because of the Three mens glares.

They entered in the double doors and they lead to another and when they went through that one it lead them into a gymnasium.

"Hey you Haruno Sakura." A boy with bushy eyebrows and wore a green spandex suit yelled.

Instead of Sakura responding, she just started and then Naruto yelled "She doesn't like you and She never will."

The boy jumped down and asked "will you be my girlfriend!"

Sakura sighed and then scowled. "No." she answered as simply as she could.

"Come on lee we have to go." A girl with two brown buns in her hair and a pink short sleeve top on with green Capri pants yelled. A boy with long brown hair and white eyes and a tanish shirt and blue shorts stood right beside her.

The girl jumped down and walked up to Sakura and then said "Your pretty. Hi I'm Tenten."

Sakura introduced herself and started talking to the girl. In tell the other boy with white eyes said "You two know that in about thirty minutes you'll be enemy's, right?"

Both girls nodded and then continued ther conversation about weapons, and such. All the boys stood there awkwardly, then Lee asked Sasuke to fight sasuke agreed.

The boys started fighting and Sasuke was getting his ass kicked. He would block but Leegot under his guard. As he was kicked down towards the ground Sakura caught him and slid with him.

"See Uchiha, you have natural talent And I have worked hard and I have deffeated you." Lee stated and Sasuke growled.

Everyone was surprised. Lee told Sakura, " My cheery blossom.." He was stopped right there "Don't call me Cheery blossom. "Sakura I'll protect you with my life." she didn't say anything she just stared.

Team seven left the gym and signed in then went in through another set of white double doors. When they entered they were greteted with thousands of eyes on them and the rookie nine was standing at the front of the room talking nervously.

"Sasuke-kunnnnnn" a annoying voice squealed the voice belonged to none other than Ino. She was hugging and hanging all over him. He tried to pry her off but proved worthless.

Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were watching them eagerly, Waiting for them to notice that everyone was watching them.

Naruto cleared his throat and then yelled "I'm going to beat all of you believe it."

Everyone was glaring and scowling at the nine rookies. Ino yelled at naruto for being stupid and started apologizing for him. A man with grey hair and purple clothes came up to them and Ino thought he was going to beat them up.

"H I'm Kabuto, thi sis my fith year. He showed them his cards and said he didn't have any info on the sound. And they talked quietly he stared at Sakura a lot, much to Naruto and Sasuke's dislike.

"Will you stop staring at me." she snapped at Kabuto.

"Sorry, your very pretty." Kabuto covered but didn't lie.

Sakura rolled her eyes, she saw three sound ninja approaching them.

"So brats you think you can beat us?" they asked primarily looking at Naruto.

"Write this down are your little cards for the sound." they said to Kabuto.

The three ninja started running at A frozen Naruto.
