AN: Well, here it is, the second part to Girl Interrupted. I hope it live to your expectation as it did mine. So since the chapter is long, I'm not going to waste your time talking so...
ENJOY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
"I know what you are," Sasuke said inches away from Yoshi's face, who just took in a big painful gulp from the tension in the room.
Don't panic, this is just like what happened with Kakashi. He's probably mistaken you with someone else, Inner Yoshi comforted.
"What are you talking about," Yoshi asked stepping back away from Sasuke to pull his covers down to sit down.
"Don't play dumb with me; you know exactly what I'm talking about." Sasuke said with anger.
Hey, don't show fear, you're a guy remember.
Easy for you to say, you're not the one getting the verbal abuse here, Sakura replied.
Well just don't.
"No Sasuke, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even have a clue."
Sasuke walked up close to Yoshi again and bend at the waist to get eye level with Yoshi's to speak to him.
"I know your secret."
He knows.
"W-what secret," Yoshi asked shakily.
"At first…," Sasuke started leaning back up to stand. "…I thought you were a spy, sneaking around at night, trying to collect data on the school but you're too pathetic for that."
"Hey," Yoshi stood erect from being insulted.
"It was the other things you did that cause me to suspect something else of you," Sasuke continued, ignoring the out bust from the other guy. "You're lack of training was one that got my attention." He said while walking to the end of Yoshi's bed. "Ever guy was taught some form of beginning training in academy when they were young. You on the other hand had none."
"I was home schooled," Yoshi answered innocently.
"Even if you were home schooled your father would have taught you some of the basic training."
"It was just me and my mother."
Yeah just answer it with a lie, he won't suspect a thing, Inner Yoshi said rolling his eyes.
Sasuke frowned at him but continued.
"Then it was the night trips to the shower room to take a shower."
"I like to take two showers a day."
"But you never showered with the guys after practice, why is that?"
"Have you been spying on me?" Yoshi frowned.
"Answer the question."
"First answer mine. Have you been spying on me?"
"I found the dog shower powder on the floor today when you were outside studying. I ask Kiba about it and he said that you don't like taking showers so he gave it to you. Now answer my question."
"I-I don't like showering in public."
Sasuke scoffed and went on with his interrogation.
"Then it was what happened earlier today in class with Genma, Iruka and Kakashi. I watched you the entire time in class and you seemed to loathe the idea of the lesson."
"What can I say; I'm immature at my age. I still think girls are icky." Yoshi smiled hoping to get out of this nerve reckoning situation he's in, but just by looking at Sasuke's face, he could tell that it wasn't going in his favor.
"Then why complain about women being shinobis if you're so grossed out about them?"
Aw think before you answer; now he got you. What are you going to say?
Shut up I'm thinking.
Well think quickly, this guy isn't buying into anything you're giving him.
"Why," Sasuke practically yelled.
"I-I have a cousin, s-she complains about this all the time. I-I just thought maybe…"
"LIAR… They are all lies. You're worst than Kakashi."
"Hey guys what's with the yelling I'm trying to sleep here," Naruto said yawning, sitting up in bed rubbing his eyes.
He heard the yelling just a few minutes ago, waking him up from his sleep. Due to him still being tired, he only caught some of what was said…and that was just the yelling part.
"Nothing, just go back to sleep," Yoshi quickly yelled. Hoping beyond all hope that Naruto would heed his words and go back to sleep. He didn't want him suspecting anything of him also. But luck wasn't on his side today.
"It's about our roommate," Sasuke pointed.
Naruto stood from his bed, now fully awake, and walked over to where his two roommates stood next to Yoshi's bed. He looked between the two but ended his stare on Sasuke.
"What is it now, Sasuke, you don't like him either, so you have to wake everyone else up to complain about it," Naruto said focusing his sleepless anger on Sasuke.
"No you Baka. Have you not noticed Yoshi been acting strange the entire time he's been here? Or are you just oblivious to everything around you like always?"
"Hey I'm observant okay. And…" Naruto said turning to Yoshi who stood at the head of the bed looking petrified. "And…yeah I've noticed but nothing to whine about at….," he looked over at the clock and it was one forty-five in the morning. "Sasuke you jerk." Naruto ended with a raised fist which Sasuke just rolled his eyes at the blonde.
"Okay, what if I'm a little weird; it's nothing to get agitated about, right? Right?" Yoshi repeated when he received no answer from the both of them.
"I'm going back to bed," Naruto said after shaking his head.
"You might as well confess about what you are or I'm going down stairs to report you to Kakashi," Sasuke stated. Yoshi eyes widen at this new turn of event. It's well on it way in getting serious, really serious.
"Sasuke you're still going at it. Just what do you think he is anyway?"
"Naruto it nothing really, Sasuke just…" Yoshi started.
"He's a girl. A girl disguised as a boy," Sasuke said staring at the wide eyes Yoshi.
The room was in silence as Sasuke and Yoshi continued to stare and Naruto once again looked between the two. His face was set in a confused frown much to Sasuke's angry frown and Yoshi's wide eyed expression. Yoshi's heart was beating fast looking at the two boys in front of him. The room kept getting thicker and thicker making it harder for him to breathe but yet all he could do was stare back.
Inner Yoshi was hyperventilating while looking around frantically for something to put him out of this tension.
And the tension was broken by a fit of laughter coming from the blonde. He was holding his stomach and wiping the tears from his eyes while Yoshi laughed a little out of relief. Everyone was laughing except for Sasuke who just crossed his arms and humph looking over to the side.
"Sasuke are you crazy, Yoshi isn't a girl," Naruto said between laughter.
Good, Naruto doesn't believe him. Now all I have to do is get Sasuke to change his mind about me, Yoshi thought still laughing also.
"Yeah Sasuke I'm not, so could we stop with the interrogation and just go to bed, I'm tired. You're probably tired too." Yoshi said moving back to his bed. He sat down on the bed and pulled the covers over his legs and lie down.
"Yeah Sasuke, you need more sleep than I do if you come up with something like that," Naruto said started laughing again while walking back to his bed.
"Fine, I'll forget it but only if Yoshi let us check his bag," Sasuke said still standing at Yoshi's bed.
"W-what," Yoshi answered sitting up in bed.
"Let us check your bag. You have nothing to hide, right? So then checking your bag wouldn't be a problem."
"Sasuke come on," Naruto voiced. "It's done and over with, let's go to bed I'm tired."
"No, not until Yoshi say it's okay to check his bag."
All eyes turned to Yoshi again and he was opening and closing his mouth trying to say something.
"I'll check the bag if it'll get you to shut up over the whole thing," Naruto said grabbing Yoshi's bag.
"Naruto no," Yoshi yelled. He was going to try and stop him but his feet got caught up in his bed sheets and he fell over the bed onto the floor with a thump, watching the content of his things being dumped on the floor by Naruto.
Again the room went silent. Yoshi was afraid to open his eyes to see the expression on his roommates' faces but he knew he couldn't keep his eyes closed forever, so he opened them. In front of him on the floor were his things. Clothes, notebooks, paper, and Kiba's shower powder. Also on the floor were the things he didn't want them to see and they were his five bandage wraps, his one medical book and magazine, one pair of lace underwear, and the most upsetting thing of them all, his tampons. Tears welled up in his eyes at the display in front of him and the knowledge of him getting caught and what would happen to him. The tears slid down as he tried to muster up something to say to them.
"I-I c-can explain."
"Yoshi please tell me this is your cousin's stuff," Naruto asked, picking up the medic book and flipping through the pages.
Yeah that's it. It's my cousin's. She must have forgotten to clean it out after she used it.
"I-I…"
He tried but the lie in his head wouldn't work its way down to his mouth. Sasuke walked over to the pile and picked up a bandage wrap and then another. The two boys looked over to him with puzzled and curious looks on their faces, waiting for an answer.
"Yoshi…" Naruto begin.
"Alright, alright. Sasuke's right, I am a girl," Yoshi said sitting up after untangling the covers around his feet with the tears falling faster. He didn't bother to look up at them; he knew they were staring at him and probably knew what they were thinking also. "A woman actually, but he's right. My name is Sakura Haruno and I'm a student at Tsunade's School of Kunoichis studying to become a medic-nin." No words were spoken so Yoshi took this as a sign to continue. "You're probably wondering why I'm here dressed as a guy," he said wiping at the tears laughing a little.
"Well now that you mention it," Naruto said standing up to stand beside Sasuke.
That is when Yoshi finally looked up to see his roommates looking at him with more curiosity and confusion.
"I'm here because I want to become a shinobi, like you guys," he looked down again. "And in order for me to become one, I had to disguise myself as a boy to get in and train as one. I didn't care about what would happen to me, damn the consequences just as long as I become a shinobi. A genin would be fine with me I didn't care, I just…I want this. I tried to keep a low profile as much as I could but I guess I didn't try well enough." He laughed. Yoshi looked back up at them with pledging eyes. "Are you going to tell on me?"
There was no answer except for a loud knock at the door. All three boys jumped and looked up at the door just as it was opening to have Iruka peer over from behind it.
"It's two o'clock in the morning boys, what are you all doing up?"
They didn't say anything and Iruka took this time to observe their faces. Besides them trying to avoid eye contact and the two standing up looked to have a deer caught in a head light look to them, he noticed Yoshi on the floor with tears streaming down his cheeks and falling off his chin.
"Yoshi, you're alright? What is going on in here," he asked stepping in the room.
"There is nothing going on, Iruka sensei. I just had a bad dream and Sasuke and Naruto came over to check up on me. That is all."
Iruka looked at the boys again and they still avoided eye contact. Figuring it's too earlier to force conversation with them, he decided to let it go.
"Fine but you are okay, right, Yoshi?"
"Yes, Iruka sensei."
"Okay, well go to bed, it's late or early or…just go to bed."
Iruka closed the door and the three roommates were stuck in silence again. Yoshi looked up at them and they looked away. Sasuke was the first to move and he walked over to the light switch and turned it off and went to bed. Naruto soon followed after and went to bed. They both had their back turned away from Yoshi, who was still on the floor when they left the end of his bed. Finally deciding to move, he picked up and packed back his things in his bag and climbed into bed. He looked at his two roommates lying soundlessly in their beds again before laying down himself looking up at the ceiling.
I'm dead, Yoshi thought to himself before turning to his side and closing his eyes.
……...
Sleep didn't come so easy for Yoshi last night. He was up all night worrying if his roommates were going to sneak out of the room to tell on him. It never happened and yet he stayed up. Even when he heard the two sound asleep he couldn't go to sleep. He was frighten and scared to. So he stayed up and pondered over what could happen when they woke up or how his demise was going to happen. Either rotting in a jail cell or deciding which way they were going to kill him. He couldn't help but cry about it. His dream was going to end and there was nothing he could do about it. He could have run away last night while they were sleeping but something told him to stay just to see how it was going to turn out. Now here he was lying in his bed regretting he made that choice to stay. It was now twelve fifty-five in the afternoon and both of his roommates were gone. He over slept. His body sometime last night finally succumbed to sleep and he over slept, missing the two leaving. He wanted to at least have the chance to stop them or try to reason with them but it was too late. They probably told Kakashi and if he wasn't late like always, he told Jiraiya. Which he would have told the council and by now sending guards to take him away, but that was two hours ago. Since he woke up around ten, he wanted to see what would happen but nothing. So he waited some more and still nothing. And now that two hours had passed, Yoshi was getting worried. Not too worried of course but…why haven't anyone bust through the door already. Finally getting up, he got dressed and headed out the door. Silent again, like in the room with his roommates. This can't be good. After going to the bathroom to freshen up, he slowly walked down stairs and to the cafeteria. No one was there and from the few classrooms he passed, no one was there either. Hearing voices down the hall, he followed them. It lead him to the auditorium. Opening the door hesitatingly, he found all the students and teachers in the room looking up at the stage where Jiraiya, Kakashi, Iruka, Genma, Guy, Asuma and a few others stood there. A hand on his shoulder pulled him further into the room with the door closing behind him and pushed him in a seat in the back row.
"You're late," the Chunin said. "But you hardly missed anything."
After said and done, the shinobi took his place back by the door and looked forward. Yoshi looked forward as well and listened to what was being said.
"There have been rumors going around about the final exam changing for this year…," Jiraiya said standing in the middle of the five on stage with him. "And to answer those rumors, it is true."
The room went up in an uproar of boos and complaints from the students but with some of the teachers standing in the walkway around the students, the room was quiet again.
"Now I know some of you maybe upset about it but we're really doing this for you. It'll strengthen your abilities and experience others abilities as well other than your senseis. I mean let's face it; none of you were any good against them anyway."
A young man tsked at that statement beside Yoshi and crossed his arms to listen some more.
"But I don't have to tell you that, you can prove that I am wrong when you pass your final exam against your opponents."
"And who exactly are we going up against for finals," a young man stood to be heard.
"I'm glad you ask young man, you can see for yourself. I have invited the headmaster from Orochimaru's School for Shinobis from the Land of Sound here to have a look around our campus, since the final exam is going to be held at the Forest of Death. And with him, he brought some of his students to accompany him. But do know this; since I am inviting them here to tour the school, I do not want them to see what we are teaching you students. So to not let them see what we are doing here and to sort of make it up to you guys, yadda, yadda. We will not have class today, but still you must study your lessons."
Again the room went up in an uproar, but not with boos and complains, but with yeses and hoorays. This time the teachers around them didn't stop them. Yoshi watched Genma make his way toward the middle, raising his hands to have the room silent again. Once it was quiet, Genma dropped his hands.
"Oh but do know this, the students who are in the Art of Seduction classes, we are having class today. So after the assembly, you are allowed a two hour break before class start." Genma smiled once he was through and the room filled with groans of boys who have to go. Even Yoshi rolled his eyes, but then he second guessed himself, he might not have to go if Sasuke or Naruto told on him. Thinking about his roommates, Yoshi took this time to scan the room for them. Right from the bat he spotted Naruto with his blonde hair and Sasuke sitting next to him in the center of the middle row. And from what he could see from his position in the back, they were sitting with Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji.
They must have not told yet. Good, then it'll give me a chance to talk to them.
Unless they told before the assembly and they're waiting after to take you away, Inner Yoshi voiced.
Thanks for the encouragement.
You're welcome.
Bringing his attention back to the front, he missed what was said but the doors opening behind him gave him the idea of what it was about. The door opened and a very pale looking man with yellow slit eyes and black hair walked in with four young people behind him. Only one of the young people behind him was a woman with long black hair down to her lower back with a sound hitai-ate tied over her forehead. While many of his classmates look on in admiration, Yoshi looked on in envy. At least she doesn't have to worry about being thrown into jail, he thought. He was out of his envious stare when the boy beside him let out a loud gulped. Following his line of direction, Yoshi gulped also. Forgetting the young men walking next to the woman, but now he noticed them, Yoshi was starting to think that the police should take him away now if he would have to fight one of those guys. They were huge, taller then half of the students here in Jiraiya's school and with more muscle mass then anyone here. The five sound ninjas made it to the stage and Jiraiya and Orochimaru shook hands before Jiraiya step back to let Orochimaru take over.
"It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful bunch of young future shinobis," he slithered, looking at the students below. "My students can't wait to go up against you for the final exam after six months. I can truly say the anticipation is killing them," laughed.
Yoshi clenched back in his seat, not liking the wondering eyes Orochimaru cast around the room. And from the feel of everyone around him, they didn't like it either.
"Oh and where are my manners today? I brought with me some of my promising students, Kabuto Yakushi, Dosu Kinuta, Kin Tsuchi, and Zaku Abumi."
The four young students just nod their acknowledgement while Orochimaru continued on.
"Though all of my students are promising, there are more then others with exceptional talents."
"I think that's enough talking about your students Orochimaru, you don't want to give away any of your secrets now do you," Jiraiya jumped in, patting the pale man on the back. "I'm sure my students want to be off with their studies while I show you around the school. So with no further ado you're all dismiss."
The students all filled out to leave the auditorium with Yoshi being one of the first to leave. He stood out in the hallway waiting until Naruto and Sasuke came out so he could talk to them. As the last bit of students left and the teachers followed afterwards, there were no sign of Sasuke or Naruto anywhere. And he stood in the middle across the hall from the auditorium where the two doors leading out of the auditorium were. So he couldn't have missed them. He waited some more until someone called his name down the hallway. It was Izumo who called him over.
"Hey Haruno come here, you have a visitor," he waved,
Oh no, this is it, they finally came for me.
Yoshi walked over to Izumo nervously and fiddle with his shirt a little to try not to bit his nails. Finally making it over to Izumo, the Chunin smiled at Yoshi and lead him to the door leading to the outside. Yoshi's heart was racing as they neared the opening of the exit. They got there; standing at the door was…
"INO," Yoshi bellowed.
"Yoshi," Ino answered back with a yell of her own and ascend the stairs to pull Yoshi into a hug.
"I'll just let you two be alone," Izumo said leaving the two outside.
Since school was over for the day for some of the students, mostly all left to go into town to do whatever they pleased while the ones stayed and wait around for class to start. So Yoshi was kind of hesitate to be seen with Ino being that they might start rumors, so he stayed in the doorway of the entrance and squatted a little to stay away from curious eyes.
"Ino what are you doing here," Yoshi whispered.
"I came to see you and why are you hiding and whispering," Ino answered a little loud than what Yoshi would like.
"Ino shush or they will hear you," Yoshi said looking at some of the pass biers. Ino looked around too and rolled her eyes looking back at Yoshi.
"Don't worry about it, I told them that you was my "friend," she winked.
"What Ino, why did you do that?"
"Well you was complaining over the weekend how you was the loser so I thought if I told them that you was my "friend", it'll up your game a little or whatever you got going around here. Now come out of hiding."
Yoshi groaned and stepped out fully in the open for everyone to see him and stood beside Ino.
"Why are you here," he asked starting to walk towards the gate.
"I came here to bring you this," Ino said passing over two envelopes.
"Oh, thanks," Yoshi said taking them without looking at them.
"You're not going to open them," Ino voiced.
Yoshi didn't say anything except to keep on walking down the path toward the gate in front of the school. Frowning, Ino snatched one envelope from Yoshi's hand and torn into it, like it was a Christmas present.
"Ino," Yoshi tried to snatch it back but Ino started to run ahead while reading the letter out loud. He ran after her as she read.
"Dear Miss Haruno, this letter is to remind you of the mid-exam this Friday at Konoha's hospital at 4:00pm."
"Ino, give me back my letter," Yoshi yelled after his friend.
"It is an exam that will test you on everything you learned this semester in class and in lab and perform them on volunteers posing to be patients. The scenario of this exam will be conducted as if a real event should occur and you, the students will have to act on it as real medics in a hospital."
"INO"
"To volunteer, Jiraiya's School of Shinobis offered to send some of their young men to the hospital to volunteer as being patients in your exam. We…OW"
Ino was unable to finish the letter due to Yoshi tackling her to the ground and straddling her legs. He snatched the letter from her and finished up the letter.
"We hope you can make it Miss Haruno for this is an important exam and will determine your status as a medic-nin. Good luck….. What? I can't take this exam, I've haven't touched my medic book for four weeks let alone practiced any of the techniques."
"Yoshi get off of me," Ino screamed from underneath Yoshi.
"Oh sorry Ino," he said helping her up.
"Well you were in class when we were being taught the lesson, so I doubt you have anything to worry about."
"Even if that is true I still can't go. It said that Jiraiya is sending his students for this exam and well I don't know if you noticed I'm one of the students. How am I supposed to take the exam and be Yoshi at the same time?"
"You think of something, you always do." Ino said looking around and noticing that they made it to the gate.
"I…you know what, just forget it, I don't have time to think about this right now, I have a lot on my mind."
"What is it?" Ino asked looking worried.
"My cover is blown." Ino looked at Yoshi with wide eyes. "Yes and unless you want to go down with me I suggest you leave now."
"But Yoshi what about you, you're going to stay here and just let them take you. Come on, we're at the gate we can make a run for it." Ino said pulling Yoshi outside the gate.
"Ino stop, I am not going to run from the police that will only make the matter worst."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know." It went silent between them. "You should go though."
Ino had tears in her eyes now, hating the fact that she would be losing a friend.
"Maybe…"
"Ino just go," he said trying to hold back his own tears.
She gave Yoshi one more hug before running off in tears. With a sigh, Yoshi headed back to school to wait. He could go looking for Naruto and Sasuke but he figured what's the point now. While walking back, some of the students were looking at him and whispering to their friends as he past. Feeling the need to stray away from their curious eyes, he ran behind the back of the building beside a tree. There, his tears fell free as he whimpered. The sound of a dog barking caught his attention and he looked just in time for a big white fluff of fur jumped on him and licked him all over the face.
"Get off of me, Akamaru," Yoshi screamed and pushed at the big dog. But it ignored his words and continued to lick.
"Akamaru down boy," said Kiba's voice and Yoshi was grateful.
'Thank you, I thought that he would never get off of me."
"What you doing back here, came to tease me over being the ladies wimp," Kiba said with a stern face.
"No, I came back here to be alone from prying eyes."
"Oh," was all Kiba said and sat down beside Yoshi with Akamaru lying in front of them. It was quiet for awhile before Kiba broke it. "I saw you talking to that blond girl," he started while Yoshi roll his eyes. "Is she your girlfriend?"
What do he doesn't get about prying and me being alone, Yoshi thought.
"No, she's just a friend."
"Oh," Kiba paused. "Were you friend as in girlfriend and boyfriends before until turning into friends or friends that grew up together?"
"The latter, why you want to know?"
"No reason, just making conversation."
"Oh, then… why are you here?"
"Akamaru and I was just playing around, also hiding."
"Oh," Yoshi voiced.
It was quiet yet again until Kiba broke it again. This time he was laughing.
"What so funny about my little dilemma, is that part of it is true," Kiba laughed. Yoshi just nod his head in understanding but also for him to continue. "I did meet a girl at the flower shop but I never spoke to her. I sort of chickened out. And here you are, the weird dork kid from our school who can easily talk to a girl," Kiba chuckled.
"Hey," Yoshi yelled.
"I mean it in a good way though." Kiba said holding out his hand defensively. "But you got to admit, it's kind of strange."
Yoshi was going to say something but Akamaru perked up and barked at the sound of approaching feet, Kiba turned behind them and saw Naruto and Sasuke heading their way. Yoshi turned around to see them coming and quickly turned his head back around to face away from them. They finally reached the two sitting down and looked between the two before Naruto said something first.
"Kiba would you excuse us, we have to talk to Yoshi for a minute."
Kiba took the hint when he wasn't wanted and stood to leave.
"Akamaru and I were planning on going to the old training ground anyway. Bye Haruno…Uzumaki, Uchiha." Kiba departed with Akamaru behind him.
Once they were sure Kiba was far away, Naruto and Sasuke moved closer to Yoshi until they were standing next to him on both side.
"Did you tell," Yoshi asked. There was no answer. He looked up at them and they had no expression on their faces to let him know what they were thinking.
"We want to know why again. Why are you doing this?" Sasuke said breaking the silent.
Yoshi looked at them puzzled by the question but decided to answer it anyway.
"I'm doing this because I want to become a shinobi. I want to prove that I can be just as strong and worthy as any man here. It's my dream, no my passion to do this and I won't give up. If you turned me in than I guess, I guess I could only dream, but my passion won't die."
He looked up at both boys faces above him and still no expression. At least they're thinking, at least that was what he thought he was reading from them. A smile crossed Naruto's face and Sasuke crossed his arms and looked away from them with a humph to the side. Yoshi looked at them confused at this behavior but smiled after what Naruto said:
"We didn't tell."
"Really, you didn't… how come?"
"Well Sasuke and I talked it over and really thought about it and we decided that you deserve to stay. I mean if any girl…woman," after Yoshi gave him a look. "If any woman with that much gut to do what you did just to become a shinobi, then we have to admire you. You're kind of cool." Yoshi had a smile on his face at what Naruto said. He looked to Sasuke for conformation and he nod his head.
"What Naruto said," he answered.
Yoshi stood and reached for both and gave them a hug. Both boys struggled out of his tight grip and looked around to make sure no one was looking.
"Thank you, oh god thank you so much. You don't know how much this mean to me."
"Don't thank us yet. In order for this to work there are some things you're going to need to learn about us boy…men."
"Are you saying you're going to teach me?"
"Yes. Just think about it, it was easy for me to know something was different about you then who knows who else. You have a lot to learn." Sasuke stated.
"Right," Yoshi said, he couldn't seem to take the smile off his face.
"Now where to begin," Naruto said observing Yoshi up and down.
"Oh, I know," Naruto bellowed, rubbing his hands together as a plan developed in his head, a sneaky plan and a big sneaky smile slowly formed upon his face.
Uh oh, this isn't good, Inner Yoshi said.
……...
Meanwhile, the teachers were all huddled up in the conference room. They were uneasy about today's assembly and frankly, they didn't like the idea.
"This is wrong," one of the teachers started.
"Are our kids ready for this, I mean six months doesn't seem like a lot of time, will they be ready," another teacher asked.
"I don't like this," Genma replied, he usually was the non-serious person in the school, but this situation got him bothered. "I definitely don't like this."
"His shinobis were huge, twice the size of our students," Asuma offered.
"I want to believe too that our kids will prevail, but I've heard thing about that school, they're evil and they fight dirty," Guy said.
"I heard they use black jutsu in the black arts, none of what they do is considered candid," a shinobi point out.
"What was Jiraiya thinking," another asked.
"I was thinking that this school will be the greatest," Jiraiya announced as he stepped into the room. The teachers stood erect upon noticing his entry and sat back down when he acknowledge them to do so.
"We may not be the tough, big bunch in the country, but we do have promise. And with promise there's hope, and then trust…so trust in your students. Believe in their abilities as I believe in yours."
"Yeah, but we hardly heard of this guy, especially his school, how are we suppose to prepare our students for such a battle,' one shinobi asked.
"Orochimaru was once a close friend of mine, we parted as time went by, and he does have a tendency to play dirty," Jiraiya answered.
"Dirty as in…like…unfair…,"
"…as in death. He likes to play dirty to the death."
The teachers groan.
"But this is just a school," Asuma offered. "Is he going to take it that far and fight to the death?"
"I've informed Orochimaru of the conditions of this exam, he knows that no harm should come upon the students, at least not so much," Jiraiya stated.
"But can we trust in his words," Kakashi finally made his presence known, he felt just as uneasy as the rest of his companions.
Silence took over the small room, everyone was thinking over what their master had told them and they considered he was right. They should believe in their students' abilities, and in everything that they do.
But they would just have to train them harder…just in case.
AN: So what do you think about it? Was it good? Did you like it or hate it? I would say I want the truth but sometimes the truth hurt and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. But I do care about your opinions and well I just got to get hurt sometimes. No ones prefect. But on the other hand what you have to say might be good and I don't have to get hurt. I'm very fragile that way. But in all, tell me what you thought about it, good or bad.
AN: About Sasuke learning that Yoshi is a girl was kind of sudden or not at first glance thinking, in other words, you didn't expect Sasuke to know he was a girl. You probably was thinking he might have been gay or something else. But for me, that would have been cliche and I wanted to stay away from cliches as much as possible. So I wrote what I wanted to happen and hope that you guys liked it anyway then what you would expect. I hope you won't think any less of the story being at what happened. So like always, let me know what you thought about it. So please read and review, please and thank you.
