Wow... I finally did this chapter...
Chapter thirteen
Katara
vs.
Mindori Takahashi
"Hooray! Mindori is up first!" Shirahime cheered happily, Yoko making cute little squeaks from her mistress's shoulder.
"Oh wow, right off the bat." Mindori awed at the large screen a bit, not expecting to start so soon after the first fight.
Ren patted her on the back, "Go kick butt out there."
Mindori looked up at her oldest teammate with a bit of a nervous smile before she looked over to her sensei. Kakuzu looked down at her with his dark green eyes for a moment, as if studying her for some reason, "Be careful and don't be to care less. Don't reveal anything unless you have to."
Mindori soon had a look of determination on her face at her sensei's words. She nodded her head and then jumped down to the arena below.
Not too far…
"Remember everything you have learned when facing your opponent, let them make the first move, not you." Konan lectured Katara before she let the girl go.
"Go whip the floor with her and win!" Harusame declared.
Hanatsu smiled, "Do your best out there."
Pein only remained silent as he let Konan to prep talk to his student. He was never one of giving encouragement, even to his own charges. That was Konan's job, his was to teach the basics and help them grow stronger, Konan was there to remind them and give them the push they need to achieve. It wasn't as if he didn't want anything to do with his students succeeding, he was proud them of how much they have learned under his watch. He just didn't know how to show it is all.
"Hai." Katara gave a small salute before disappearing over the railing of the balcony and down to the main of arena.
Down below, Katara came up to the center of the main arena, facing Mindori that stood only a good ten feet away from her. Hayate stood off to the side, away from the two girls with a clip bored in his hand. After a sickly cough in his fist, he spoke, "You two know the rules of how this goes, once I give the signal, you may start.
Both of the girls nodded without looking at him, keeping their gazes locked with the other.
Raising his hand above, Hayate looked between Katara and Mindori, as both readied themselves at the given moment, "Begin!"
Both girls suddenly jumped back from one another, forming hand signs at lightning speed.
(B R E A K)
In the dark part of the tower, Sasuke sat in the middle of the floor, shirtless, while watching his older brother writing strange symbols around Sasuke with his blood. Sasuke wasn't sure what was happening or what Itachi was up to. After his match, Itachi immediately pulled him somewhere far from the main arena were the matches were being held, where it was just the two of them away from everything. Once they were away from everyone, Itachi ordered him to remove his shirt and sit in the middle of the floor. The younger Uchiha did as he was told and dared not to ask his elder brother of what was happening, especially the look on his face.
With the last symbol drawn, Itachi stood up from the ground and whipped his blood clean. "That should do it."
"What is all this, Itachi?" the younger Uchiha asked curiously
"This is what is going to take care of that little problem on your neck, hopefully."
"What are you planning on doing?" Sasuke asked again.
"We are going to seal it," Itachi now stood behind his brother, a hand hovering over the curse mark, "We can't remove the mark once its cast so only option is to seal it away. But remember Sasuke, the seal will weaken only if you doubt yourself, allowing the curse mark to grow again." With his other hand, the elder Uchiha formed a hand sign, "Braise yourself, this will be painful."
Not too long after he said that, pain soon shot out through Sasuke's body. The marks of blood around him began to move forwards Sasuke in even lines. The curse mark sucked them up quickly to the point it almost looks like a vacuum cleaner, and the curse mark was the vacuum. Finally, the last of the marks disappear into the newly form seal around the curse mark of the back of Sasuke's neck.
With loud grunt of pain, the raven haired boy fell forward and hit the floor with 'thump', out cold to the world. Lowering his hand, Itachi studied over the form of his brother's body until his eyes landed on the new seal around the mark. Judging by the looks of it, the jutsu looked to be a success, for now.
"Kukukukuk… just what I expect from the famous Itachi Uchiha himself." a dark voice echoed from the shadows.
Unfazed by the new intruder, Itachi slowly peered over his shoulder to see someone stepping out of the shadows. For a while now, Itachi had known that he and Sasuke weren't completely alone when he was preparing for the seal. In fact, as soon as they left arena where the exams were, he sense someone was following them. He had an idea who it was but didn't want to voice it out, not with Sasuke there with him. So he picked a sport in the tower, which was as far from everyone, in order to do the jutsu right and to face their 'guest'.
Once their 'guest' came into the light, the raven haired man's suspicions of whom it was were correct. Slowly but dully, Itachi turned around to face the their 'guest' while stepping in front of Sasuke's unconscious form, blocking him completely from their 'guest's' eyes. For a long time, Itachi just stared at their 'guest' with cold emotionless black eyes before he finally spoke, "Orochimaru, what are doing here?"
The snake chuckled faintly at the tone of Itachi's voice, to him it almost sound that of a lifeless computer voice. Just what he expected from an Uchiha. "Oh come now Itachi, is it so wrong for someone to be concern for your dear little brother's health.
"That's kind of hard to believe when you are the one that is responsible in the state he is in now." Itachi said blankly.
Orochimaru smirked.
"What do you want with Sasuke?"
"What do I want you ask?" he paused for a moment before a creepy grin appeared; "I just want the Sharingan, that's all."
At that, Itachi raised a curious eyebrow. "The Sharingan?"
"The prize possession of the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan. To be able to copy any jutsu in the world with just a single look. That's my kind of idea of learning a new jutsu."
"You wish to learn new jutsus?"
"Of course, it is my dream to learn every single jutsu in the world, to master each and every one of them."
"An impossible dream, there are thousands of jutsus in the world, and new ones are created each and every day."
The snake didn't comment.
"So you plan on steal Sasuke's eyes, are you, for you're so called 'dream'?"
"Well," the snakes smile grew, "something like that, but not quite."
At that, Itachi grew angry and glared right at Orochimaru, "If you value your miserable little life Orochimaru, you best leave me, my brother, and our whole family alone, and forget your silly little dream of gaining the Sharingan from us. Because it will never happen, as long I see to it"
Orochimaru chuckled, "Such big words, do you truly believe I will quit my dream, all because you asked me-"
"I'm not asking you," Itachi then glared hatefully at the old man, activating his Sharingan that send a small cold shiver done Orochimaru's spine, "I'm telling you."
Subconsciously, Orochimaru took a step back from the deadly look that the Uchiha was giving him. But he was careful not to give anything away from what he was really feeling inside, keeping a perfect façade on.
"Very well, I'll leave you to be if that is what you wish." The sanin said with a smile on his face once again, "But know this, dear Itachi. This will not be the last time you'll see me. Tootles."
With his back turned to the Uchiha, Itachi watched Orochimaru walk off and disappear into the shadows that he once appeared from.
(B R E A K)
Mindori was send flying through the air, over the ground, until she hit the floor and skidded across a few feet after she hit it. From across, Katara laughed at sight of the state that she put Mindori in, while she remained unscratched.
"Was that the best you got, my one legged grandmother puts up a better fight then you," Katara then made a fake sigh and frown, "And here I was hoping that I would draw out my favorite katana, but you weren't worth it."
The fallen Waterfall Genin grunted in pain as she tried to sit up but failed to do. As much as she hated admit it, Mindori had reached her limit.
"The winner is, Katara, who moves on to the finals!" Hayate declared.
From above, Hanatsu and Harusame cheered at their teammate's win while Konan smiled. Only Pein remained as he was as he stared right at his pupil, looking uncaring like always. But if you looked at his eyes, you could see the faint glimpse of pride at his pupil's win.
Ren and Shirahime pouted at the lost their teammate took as they watched Kakuzu jump down to the arena to retrieve Mindori.
Kakuzu was first to reach his fallen student before the medics did. Being a medic himself, he looked over his student's body to see what kind of damage she took and if she need medical attention right away. From the look of things of how Mindori was, she seemed fine on the outside.
"Can you stand?" her sensei asked as he kneeled down to her level, just as the medics arrived.
"I… think so." she said hesitantly.
Nodding, Kakuzu stood from his kneeling position and offered his arm for Mindori to grab in order for her to pull herself up. With weak hands, Mindori grabbed hold of her sensei's arm and weakly pulled herself up to her feet. The medics slightly protested the girl's actions; telling her that she needed to stay still and not to try to push herself, fearing that she might hurt herself. But Kakuzu quickly silence them with a glare that told them to shut their traps. He was a medic to after all, and he knew what his kids can and cannot take. Finally, Mindori hauled up to her feet and stood weakly next to her sensei, still gripping onto his arm.
She gave the medics a weak smile, letting them know she was okay, before her sensei grabbed hold of her around the waist and jumped back up to where her teammates waited. Ren and Shirahime stepped back and allowed enough space for their teammate to breathe as they watched Kakuzu placed her up against the wall to rest.
"Now for the next match, would everyone please turn their attention to the screen above." Hayate said with a cough.
The screen flashed to life as names quickly shuffled around.
Kiba Inuzuka
vs
Shirahime Yokomo
"Woo hoo! It's our turn now!" Kiba cheered. Akamaru barked happily from on top of Kiba's head.
"G-Good luck down there, K-Kiba. A-And do y-your best." Hinata shuttered.
"Yeah, and don't blow it like you did during our second semester at the academy during spar practices." Naruto snickered behind his hand.
"Hey! I was eight then! It wasn't my fault that kunai hit my butt!" Kiba yelled.
"Hit your butt?" Kohta held back a snicker but failed as her stood next to Naruto, "What did you do, sit on it?"
"No, but he did that two months later though." Naruto burst out laughing, followed my Kohta. They laughed together so hard they were holding their sides and having trouble standing on their feet.
"Why you…" Kiba hissed.
"Kiba," Kurenia cut in, gaining the boy's attention, "Don't you have a match to get to?"
The young Inuzuka huffed and sent the two laughing boys a glare before he jumped down for his match.
"S-Sit on his… his kunai, that's a good one!" Kohta got out.
"I… I know!" the blonde said back.
Soon their laughter was cut short as both of the younger boys got whacked over the head.
"Ow!" the Mist Genin held the back of his head and turned to glare at the person that whacked them.
"That hurt." Naruto whined.
"Why you did do that, Katsumi. That hurt you know!" Kohta yelled at his quite teammate.
Katsumi seemed unfazed by Kohta's angry and only stared at him and Naruto blankly.
"Oh, pipe down Kohta. You two kind of dissevered that." said Ryoma.
"He's right." Sakura agreed, looking annoyed at the two idiots right now. "That was a little immature, Naruto."
"Yeah but that didn't deserve a whack over head, did it?" the blonde complained, holding his head like Kohta.
"Sensei! Are you going to do something?" the youngest of the three Mist Genin looked over to Kisame, who was leaning against the wall lazily with his arms crossed.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching. What happen?" Kisame said lazily with a grin to match it.
Beside him, both Kurenia and Asume bit back a snort.
"Would you guys keep it down, the fight is about to start." Tenten said, not that far from where Sakura stood by the rail with Lee.
Down below…
Kiba reached the center of the arena with Hayate off to the side of him. He watched Shirahime standing right before him with a bit of a ditz look on her face as she looked at everything around her, like a curious child. Like Akamaru, Yoko stayed on Shirahime's head and was looking at everything just as curious as her mistress. Kiba watched her with a raised eyebrow a bit as the girl that was totally oblivious to his presence. Did she forget she was in a match or something?
From the top of his head, he heard Akamaru growl at the ferret on top of the girl's head. Upon hearing the growl, Yoko looked over to Akamaru and made a cute face with a tilt of the head. Shirahime heard the growl to and looked over to see Akamaru and Kiba, noticing that they were there for the first time.
"Oh, hello!" The Waterfall ninja waved happily at Kiba with a smile to match.
At this, the brunette boy looked at Hayate with an are-you-kidding-me look.
Hayate shrugged his shoulders.
From above, Kakzuz, Ren, and even Mindori, who pulled herself up and moved over to the rail and leaned over it, looked down at Shirahime who was just her oblivious self like always.
"This should be good." Kakzuz commented.
"Ten bucks says that she'll win this by accident." said Ren.
"Twenty says that she'll win and she won't even know it." said Mindori.
"The rules are same as before, the fight will end until one of you falls or if I stop the match if I see necessary."The Leaf Jonin took a step back, "Begin!"
"I might as well start things off first," Kiba quickly made a few hand signs, "Gijyuu Ninpou, Shikyaku no Jutsu!" (Beast Mimicry ninja technique)
Soon Kiba was down on all fours, with teeth and claws of a wolf, and charged right at Shirahime. Shirahime let out a squeak of surprise and quickly dodged out of the way of Kiba's attack. Looking behind her, Shirahime quickly scurried back up to her feet from the ground and took off running, and screaming, with Yoko hanging on to her shoulder with the same cute expression as before. For a good three minutes or so, the beginning of the fight was just of Shirahime, screaming her head off, running away from Kiba that was trying to catch her.
Yoko soon lost her grip on her mistress's shoulder and fell off and tumbled down to the floor. Sadly, Shirahime didn't seem to notice that she lost Yoko and Kiba was too busy trying to catch Shirahime to notice the ferret on the ground. A faint growl was heard next to Yoko as it soon grew louder and louder over the ruckus that Kiba and Shirahime were making. Her perking her ears up, the ferret looked over to see Akamaru stand a few feet away from her, growling, and seem to be almost glaring right at her. Yoko, unaware of the danger that was Akamaru, simple tilts her head to the side with a cute expression that she always does. At that, the puppy lunged right at Yoko, who jumped out of way when she quickly realized what Akamaru was doing, and chase right after the ferret, much like their masters.
"I've had enough of this." Kiba growled, lunging full force right at his opponent, "It ends here!"
Unaware of the fact that the Leaf Genin was only now inches away from her, Shirahime tripped over her own feet and fell down to the ground, while Kiba flew right over her, crashing right into the wall.
"Ooooo." could be heard from the railings above as everyone winced a little.
The blue haired girl quickly scrambled back on to her feet, looking franticly around her to see where her opponent was.
Groaning in pain at the impact, the brunette boy slowly stood up from the crash.
Hearing something behind her, Shirahime quickly turned around to only feel something hit the back of her fist, which was Kiba's face. Startled at this, Shirahime quickly pulled her hand back and watched Kiba crumble to the floor, out cold.
"Oh no!" she quickly rushed over to his unconscious form, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I am so sorry!"
The whole the place was dead silent, other than Shirahime's constant apology and Akamaru's barking, as everyone stared down in disbelief, not quite sure what to make of this.
"Umm," Naruto was the first to speak, "What just happen."
"I… don't know." said Neji, beside his team.
"I think… that Waterfall nin won." said Ryoma in disbelief.
Sakura stared in shock, "You have got to be kidding me."
Like everyone else, Hayate stared in disbelief as well until finally snapped out of it, "A-And the winner is… Shirahime Yokomo?"
At hearing her name being announced as the winner, the blue haired girl stopped apologizing and looked at Hayate for a moment to let it sink in.
"I… won," she said to herself in shock before a smile graced her face, "I won!" she jumped to her feet and started to cheer, "I won, I won!"
Everyone looked at the happy girl for a moment before they shifted their eyes to her team, who were all thing up at the ceiling, avoid everyone's gaze. They had nothing to really say about Shirahime.
"You have got to be kidding me." Asume said from beside Kurenia, who was still in slight shock as she tried to figure out what really happened.
"Poor Kiba." said Ino.
"That's got to be a painfully blow to his ego." said Choji.
"That's hilarious!" Kisame laughed once he was out of the shock.
The medics came and took Kiba away, with Akamaru following behind once he realized that his master was hurt, leaving the ferret forgotten.
"Well…" Hayate coughed lightly, "That was an… interesting match."
Everyone watched Shirahime skip happily back to her team with Yoko at her heel.
"Well be moving on… would everyone look to the screen."
Shirakamaru Nara
vs
Hanatsu Kawaame
"Alright Shikamaru! Go and kick some ass!" Ino declared right into the said boy's ear.
The shadow caster groaned, "Man, what a drag."
From across the way…
"Looks like another Rain nin is up." said Yuuen stated.
"I wonder if this one will be any good?" said Aika.
Deidara lazily looked at the Rain Genin that was called before she looked at the Sand shinobis next to her.
She raised an eyebrow, "Where is your sensei, un?"
Temari was the one to answer, "We have no idea. He disappeared as soon as the Uchiha left."
"I can't believe he abandon us like that. Oh, wait until sensei get's back I'm gonna… I'm gonna…" Kankuro grumbled.
"Do what? You know sensei will just whip your ass like always if you do try something." said Temari.
"Just shut up." he glared at her.
Deidara ignored the two siblings as she wondered where Sasori disappeared to.
Down below…
With a heavy sigh, Shikamaru looked up to his opponent with lazy eyes as he looked the girl over. She was his age, maybe younger, he thought. But other than that she didn't seem like much.
"Man, what a drag." he grumbled.
From across Shikamaru, Hanatsu stood before him with her hands on her hips. She looked at the lazy boy in front of her from head to toe, noted that he didn't seem like much to her either. But one of the basic rules that both of her senseis taught her is to never be deceive by appearances.
"Begin."
(B R E A K)
Orochimaru chuckled quietly to himself, still amuse of his little encounter with the Uchiha brothers. Yes, everything was coming together quite nicely if he said so himself. Everything was falling into place, just as he hoped; now it was only a matter of time.
"It won't be long now… I'll have everything just perfect after the Chuunin Exams." he laughed, unaware of the welcoming party ahead of him in dark hall.
"I've should have known you would be here."
Orochimaru stopped in his tracks, a little surprise at the new voice in front of him. But the surprise was short lived when he quickly realized who it was.
"Well, well… if it isn't my favorite little toy, Sasori. How have you been." the sanin chuckled, taking a step forward towards Sasori.
Quickly, from inside Hiruko, Sasori raised his tail and pointed it at the snake before him, "Stay the hell way from me." he hissed.
He complied too Sasori's wishes and stopped his advances.
"Now, now, while so angry, is it so bad that my missed my little Scorpling so much?" Sanin's voice took a gentle turn, a purr almost.
The red head growled angrily, "Don't call me that!"
"But it fits you so perfectly, my dear."
"I've hated that name now, as I hated it back then!"
"Still stubborn as always I see. That doesn't surprise me, you were always a bit of a fight I suppose. But then again, we always had so much when you tried to fight me."
His answer was another growl, causing Orochimaru to chuckle.
"Ah, yes. I missed our time together, it was such a shame that you left ten years ago. But at least we had two wonderful years together."
"For you! I was your fucking bitch!" Sasori yelled angrily.
At that the pale man burst out laughing at Sasori's little tantrum. He forgot how much fun he was.
"But do tell me, Scorpling. How did you escape me? I'm curious to know?"
The red head narrowed his eyes, "Like I tell you."
"Fine then, be that way. But answer this for me at least." Orochimaru then eyed Hiruko up and down, "Do you still have that adorable little body of yours?"
Sasori didn't answer.
"Kukuku… I'll take that as a yes then, good."
"Do you plan on making the Uchiha boy your next vessel?" Sasori quickly changed the subject.
The Sanin didn't look surprise at all at Sasori's question, "You know me so well, don't you Scorpling. But what gave it away?"
"That curse mark, being trapped in your lairs for so long I've come to know a few of your secrets. As soon as I saw the curse mark spreading over Sasuke's body, I knew right away that this was your doing." the puppeteer said calmly.
"Kukukuk… I suppose there is no point in denying it now, is there. Yes, I plan to make Sasuke my next vessel. With his body I will finally gain the Sharingan and achieve my dream."
Sasori snorted, "An impossible dream."
"Say what you wish, but if I remember correctly yours was once to." Sasori didn't comment, "To live forever and never grow old, to live though your art, to become eternal. Was that what you told me once, Scorpling?"
"It was a dream now, and still is. Even if I am my art now I will still die one day, I just delayed it." he narrowed his eyes at the older man, "There is no such thing as immortality, Orochimaru."
"Saya the boy that told me his art was eternal."
Sasori was quiet once more.
"I would love to stay and talk of the old days together, Scorpling. But I fear that I have places to be, people to meet. Busy, busy after all."Orochimaru started walking towards Sasori once more, only this time he walked by him but stopped once he passed Sasori a bit, "But don't worry Scorplng, once I have a little free time I'll be sure to come by and visit you when I can." with that said, Orochimaru continued walking off, leaving the puppeteer alone, sitting in the dark.
(B R E A K)
Hanatsu leaned back, much like Shikamaru did, to avoid the flying kunai that was coming towards her. But when she did that, she did not realize how close she was to the wall behind her and wacked the back of her head good. Hanatsu fell to the ground, out cold, as Shikamaru called back his shadow to him and stood straight up, with a few scratches here and there.
"The winner is Shikamaru Nara!"
"Alright Shikamaru!" Ino's screech could be heard from above.
"Yeah Shikamaru!" Sakura cheered out.
"That's how you do it, lazy butt!" Naruto yelled out happily.
"Do they have to be so loud." the genius whispered to himself as his cheeks began to turn red.
Pein jumped down from above and approached the two medics that were looking over Hanatsu's head. He stood quietly behind them for a moment, observing the medics examination. Two minutes later, both of the medics smiled and stood up from their kneeling position by Hanatsu and turned to face Pein.
"She is alright, no serious head energy. She'll be out for a while. Though there is a slight chance she might gain a small concussion. But other than that she's just fine." said one of the medics.
"You may take her, or would you rather we take her just in case?" asked the other medic.
"No, I'll take her if it's not serious." Pein said as he pushed past the two medics to retrieve his fallen student.
Deidara watched curiously at the young pineapple headed boy leave the bottom floor of the arena and lazily make his way back up to his team. That boy was more then what he appeared to be. He may seem like a lazy slacker at first glance, but underneath all that he was something else. The boy was a genius, no doubt about it. Just by watching his fight you could obviously see his true potential, at least for the Jonins then the Genins. But all and all, that one will be probably one of the most challenging Genin here.
The sound of sand moving caught the blonde's attention as she looked over to the sand team, in time to see a swirl of sand and Sasori's appearance.
"Sensei!" exclaimed Temari and Kankuro together.
Gaara quietly acknowledge his sensei.
"Where the hell have you been?" Kankuro yelled.
"How dare you abandon us like that!" Termai yelled right with her brother.
"Pipe down already, I didn't abandon you two, I told you I was leaving for a bit and would be back. And as where I was or doing," he then fixed them a heated glared that send cold shivers down their backs, "That is none of your damn business."
"Y-Yes sensei," Temari started, taking a small step forward, "b-but we just want-"
"DO NOT COME NEAR ME!" Sasori yelled, glaring deadly right her.
The sand kunoichi took a large step back from Sasori, startled at his outburst. Neither she, nor her brothers have ever seen their sensei like this before. He was usually calm, cool, and collected; never let anything get to him. But now he seemed edgy and shaken a bit. Whatever he was doing while he was gone seemed to really do a number on him.
Temari jumped when a hand rested on her shoulder and whirled around to see that it was Deidara. The older blonde kunoichi offered a comforting smile to the siblings that seem to calm them down a little.
"Oh, don't let the old fart get to you, un. He's just probably cranky because its way pass his nap time, un." Deidara teased, ignoring the death glare that Sasori was giving her.
"An old fart? If I'm an old far then you are nothing but a spoiled little brat that throws a tantrum when she doesn't get her way."
"Spoiled… little… brat, un?" Deidara's brow twitched.
"Yes, isn't that what I said. Or are you just an air headed blonde that's full of hot air?"
"Why you…"
The tension around Sasori died as his argument with Deidara heated up. The siblings soon found themselves relaxing around their sensei now and not afraid of every little thing they did would push him off the edge. And that's was Deidara'a attentions. She wanted to draw the puppeteers attentions away from whatever has troubled him and give his mind to focus on something else, and also to put his poor students at ease as well.
From across the way, Sakura watched the two Jonins bicker about something she couldn't hear. But her attention wasn't fully on them but on a certain red head that was watching the argument as well. She still couldn't thank him enough for what he and his brother and sister did for her and her team in the forest. If it wasn't for them, she, Sasuke, and Naruto wouldn't have made it this far. She had a lot to be grateful for the sand siblings, a lot to be grateful for Gaara. During the whole exams he's been nothing but helpful and encouraging, pushing her forward to her goal of becoming a Chuunin.
White her knuckles turn as she clutched tightly on the railing, biting her bottom lip, as her eyes drifted down to her white knuckles before loosening her grip.
She tried so hard, she tried so hard to prove that she was strong. To prove that she didn't need help from Sasuke or Naruto, that she was stronger then she look, to show that she could just be like everyone else and not the weakest link in the team. But mostly to show Gaara that she was just as strong as he made her to believe. But now she felt like a failure, too weak to protect her teammates when they needed her the most and a failure to those that believed in her when she didn't.
'I can't give up…' she thought.
'Of course not! It's not over yet! You can still prove that we're strong!' Cheered Inner Sakura.
'That's right, I still got a chance. I got one more shot during the match ups. I just need to win against whoever I face! Fight to win!'
'That's the spirit girl!'
"Sakura, are you listening to me?"
"Huh, what?" the pinkette snapped back to the real world, looking over next to her to see Naruto.
Naruto frown and looked almost concern, "Did you see the screen?"
Sakura shook her head 'no' and then followed to where Naruto was pointing at. She followed his finger until finally her eyes landed on screen to only to stare in shock.
Ino Yamanaka
vs
Sakura Haruno
Hahahaha! I was cracking the whole time when I was writing Kiba and Shirahime's fight scene. It was to funny for me.
Anywho, don't expect another chapter from me anytime soon. I have other stories that I need to right and sadly, my Naruto stuff is at the bottom of my list. Let's face it, I'm losing intrest in Naruto.
But please let me know who you want to see match againts!
