I hope you enjoy this!
The next morning, I was on my way to the academy. Apparently, the first stage of the chunin exam will be held there. So I joined Kiba and Hinata-chan who were waiting for me.
Self Proclaimed Alpha Male
Lv 27 Kiba Inuzuka
Secret Admirer
Lv28 Hinata Hyuga
"You're late." Kiba groaned as greetings.
"Good morning to you too." I replied. "And I'm not late. Just right on time."
"Good morning… Kuro-kun." Hinata-chan saluted.
"At least someone with manners." I grinned. "Good morning, Hinata-chan. Let's go."
We entered the building. There was a lot of people, and when we arrived to the 2nd floor, a small crowd has formed in front of the door. I noticed a small genjutsu transforming the numbers '207' in '307'… Why would they do that? We approached and started to watch a curious scene.
"What is going on here..." Kiba mumbled.
Serious Germaphobe
Lv 46 Izumo Kamizuki
Carefree Syrup Drinker
Lv 45 Kotetsu Hagane
Pfff hahaha! Those titles! But their level is very high for a genin though… I quietly [Obeserve]d them, and smiled. They were chunins disguised.
"… is our kindness" Kotetsu was talking to another genin with huge eyebrows, who looked like he had just been hit.
Genius of Hard Work
Lv 35 Rock Lee
"The chunin exam isn't easy… Even we have failed it three straight times. Those that take this exam and end up quitting as shinobis, those that die during the exam, we've seen it all. And chunins often become captains of military teams. The failure of a mission, the death of a comrade, that is all the captain's responsibility. Yet, kids like you think you can pass? We are just thinning out those that will fail anyway. What's wrong with that?"
These two chunins were probably asked to put a genjutsu here to 'thin out' weak genins who hadn't the capabilities of taking this exam. I see… Well, let's just tell the others and go up to the 3rd floor.
"I agree, but… You will let me pass through … and also remove this surrounding created with genjutsu."
I facepalmed, earning a few curious looks around me. Sasuke… Of course, you couldn't keep your mouth shut, like this Rock Lee…
Revenge Seeker
Lv 32 Sasuke Uchiha
Loud prankster
Lv26 Naruto Uzumaki
Uchiha Fan-Girl
Lv22 Sakura Haruno
"I'm going to the 3rd floor. He told the crowd casually.
"What's this guy talking about?" A random genin asked.
"I don't know..." someone wondered.
"Ah… So you noticed..." Izumo said, smirking.
Sasuke smiled.
"Sakura, you must have noticed first, right?"
"Huh?" She seemed surprised that Sasuke actually talked to her. Well, I was too.
"Your analytic ability and genjutsu know-how is the most improved in our team." He praised.
He praised? Is this really Sasuke?
"Hehe..." She blushed, and grinned. "Of course, I noticed a while ago, because this is the second floor."
"Yup!" Naruto grinned, as if he knew it.
I walked out of the crowd.
"Congrats guys. You just informed all the people here that there was a genjutsu, instead of just going up to the 3rd floor. Very smart." I told them.
Team 7 glared at me. At least they seemed to agree to something at this moment.
"Kuro-teme! Why you..." Naruto began, but was interrupted.
"You're the guy who went to my shop! You're taking the chuunin exam already?"
I turned to look at the owner of the voice.
Tom-Boy Aiming Perfectly
Lv 31 Tenten
"Ah, that's you… "I recognised.
"You know her?" Kiba asked, surprised. I was going to answer, but Kotetsu took action before I could do anything.
"Not bad… but all you did was see through it!" he jumped and threw a kick at me. I was going to parry, but the genin with huge eyebrows intercepted him and stopped his foot.
"You're fast." I noted, raising my eyebrows.
"Hey… What happened to the plan? You're the one who said we shouldn't attract attention to ourselves."
Jailed Bird
Lv34 Neji Hyuga
"Well..." He hesitated, eyeing Sakura and blushing.
"Oh, no..." Tenten sighed and shook her head.
He walked to her and told her :
"Hi… My name is Rock Lee. So yours is Sakura… Let's go out together! I'll protect you till I die!" He said the last part giving her a thumb up while grinning and blushing.
"No… Way… You're lame..." She responded. Ouch.
Lee lowered his head and look down, and Naruto grinned.
"Hey, you two."
Sasuke and I turned to Neji.
"What's your names?" He asked us, and I was flattered that I was considered on the same level of threat as Sasuke.
"When you want to learn someone's name, you should give it first." Sasuke replied, smirking.
"You're rookies, right? How old are you?" he questioned.
"I don't have to answer you."
"We're 12." I answered him, and got a glare from Sasuke before he left with his team. "You're Neji, right? The cousin of Hinata-chan?"
"Indeed." He looked at Hinata, but gave no sign of recognition to her.
"Pleasure to meet you." I nodded to him, and left with Kiba and Hinata-chan, following team 7.
We were walking in a hall, when we heard someone again:
"Hey! Guy with black eyes..."
Sasuke turned, and before Kiba could reply, he said:
"What is it?"
It was Lee. With a very serious face.
"Will you...fight me right here?"
"You guys go ahead." I whispered to my teammates. "I'll watch this."
Hinata-chan nodded, and Kiba sighed. "Don't be late." he warned me before leaving.
"A fight right now?" Sasuke repeated.
"Yes." he nodded. "My name is Rock Lee. When you want to learn a person's name, you introduce yourself first, right? Uchiha Sasuke..."
"Heh, so you know?"
"I want to fight you." Lee affirmed. "I want to test my techniques against the off-spring of the genius ninja clan. Plus..."
He stared at Sakura. After a couple of seconds, he... winked at her.
"EWWWW! Those lower eyelashes are… ewwwwwww! Hairstyle is lame… and those thick eyebrows..."She muttered, shivering.
"You are an angel!" He sent her a kiss.
"Kyaaaaa!" Sakura screamed, and avoided the kiss comically. I raised my eyebrows.
"Come on, he's not that bad..." I mumbled, and Naruto chuckled near me.
"HEY! Don't throw weird things!" she shouted.
"You don't have to be so mean..." Lee remarked sadly.
"Challenging me knowing the Uchiha name… frankly, you're a fool." Sasuke declared, and I chuckled a bit at that. Sasuke had a little less physical stats than me: in the 45 on average. But Lee was in the sixties… That will be fun to watch.
"You're about to learn what this name means, thick brows."
"Please." 'thick brows' smirked.
"Wait."
We turned to Naruto.
"I'll take care of thickbrow. Just give me 5 minutes." I shook my head at that.
"Naruto… He's literally two times stronger than you." I meant it. "And he's a step above Sasuke. I don't think you could..."
"Damn it! I'm sick of hearing about Sasuke!" He yelled, and charged Lee.
He threw a punch, but Lee easily hit his hand, causing him to fall down. Naruto landed on his right, and attempted to kick him.
Key word: attempted. Lee rotated really fast, and he kicked Naruto's leg with a series of large movements with his feet.
"Leaf hurricane!" He shouted, and somehow Naruto ended up crashing in the wall at the other side of the room.
"Told ya." I shrugged.
"I'll say this. You guys cannot defeat me." He stated.
"How would you know? You haven't seen us fight yet." I replied smirking, enjoying myself.
"...Because… Right now I am the strongest genin."
"That's probably right." He smiled when I recognised his power. "But that doesn't mean we can't defeat you." I pointed.
"You seems pretty confident. Perhaps I should fight you too to prove myself." He challenged.
"What? Nah. I don't feel like revealing my cards yet." I declined, all the while smiling.
"Sounds fun, I'll do it." Sasuke accepted, glaring at me.
"Sasuke, don't! We only have 30 minutes to get to the meeting."
"I'll be done in 5 minutes."
He, too, charged Lee. And he, too, ended up rolling on the ground.
He got up quickly though, with his sharingans activated this time.
"Your sharingans won't help you." I told him, but he ignored me and ran to him.
He was throwned in the air this time, and Lee followed him, positioning himself behind him.
"Shadow leaf dance!"
But before he could finish his move, a huge turtle showed up and yelled :
"That is enough, Lee!"
What…? One of Lee's bandages was stuck in the wall by a weird weapon.
?*?*?*?*?*?*?
Lv? Maito Gai
Sasuke was so surprised that Sakura had to catch him in his fall.
"Are you alright, Sasuke-kun?!" She asked.
"So you were watching..."Lee mumbled when he landed.
"LEE! That technique is forbidden!"
"I'm sorry… I just..." Lee was bowing now, shameful. "But… I wasn't planning on using the other one..."
"Hey, hey…" Naruto came to us, and pointed his finger to the turtle. "That's… a turtle, right? Right?"
"Yes." I answered, frowning.
"YOU FOOL! You think you can get away with an excuse like that?! You already know what it means for a shinobi to reveal his special techniques!"
I remained silent, but silently approved the jonin.
"Are you prepared to pay?" Lee's sensei continued.
"Yes..."
"Then here comes Gai sensei!" There was a poof and he appeared on top of the turtle. "Geez! You guys are the epitome of adolescence!" He took a weird pose.
"He's got even thicker eyebrows!" Sakura and Naruto yelled, shocked.
"Hey! Stop insulting Gai-sensei!" Lee defended.
"Lee." Gai called.
"Yes!"
"YOU FOOL!" He punched him. "You are… you are..." He kneeled in front of his student, and tears began to shed on his face, still smiling.
"Sensei… I… I..."
"THATS ENOUGH LEE! YOU DONT NEED TO SAY IT!" Gai hugged him, and I raised an eyebrow at that.
"SENSEI!"
"Yes! This is what youth is all about!"
"Sensei!'
"It's allright Lee. Youth and mistakes come together." He released Lee and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You are too nice… sensei..." The genin was crying now. Who the hell are those two…
"But you did start a fight and almost broke my rules, your punishment will take place after the chunin exam."
"Yes!"
"500 laps around the practice range!" he shouted, pointing his fist up.
"YES!"
"Stupid..." Sakura muttered.
Gai returned to us. "Hey you guys, how Kakashi and Kurenai are doing?" he questioned.
"Fine." I answered simply.
"You know Kakashi?" Sasuke asked.
"Know him? Hehehe..." In a fraction of second, he was behind us. "People refer to us as eternal rivals..."
Holy shit! That's so much faster than Kurenai sensei!
"50 wins, 49 loses… I'm stronger than Kakashi." He affirmed, pointing his thumb at his face and grinning.
"See! Gai sensei is incredible!" Lee claimed.
"Sorry about Lee, I swear it to this beautiful face it won't happen again." He promised to Sasuke who was looking down. "You guys should held over to the classroom." he suggested while freeing Lee's bandage.
The green genin put back in place his bandage. I noticed Naruto staring shocked at the amount of injuries hidden under those.
"Good luck, Lee. Later." Gai jumped away.
"Yes. Sasuke-kun, I'll say one more thing. The truth is, I came here to test my abilities. I lied before, most likely the strongest genin is on my team. I've entered this exam to defeat him… and you're also one of my targets. And you too."He added staring at me. "Be prepared during the exam!" He jumped away.
We were all alone now.
"Well, that was instructive." I declared. "See ya."
I walked away, leaving them in the silence. I entered the classroom, and rejoined my team.
"So? What happened?" Kiba asked.
"Eyebrows kicked their asses." I grinned, and Kiba chuckled.
"K-Kuro-kun!" Hinata-chan protested.
"Sorry, Hinata-chan."
"There's a lot of people..." Kiba groaned along with Akamaru. I decided to examine the participants.
"Well, there's ninjas of other villages too..." I told him.
The Loneliest of All
Lv 35 Gaara
Wind Fan User
Lv 31 Temari
Sinister Marionetist
Lv 31 Kankuro
Those three were the most high level in Suna. When I observed Gaara, I found out he was a jinchuuriki like Naruto, but was psychologically instable and a psychopath… I'll have to avoid him.
Follower of Orochimaru
Lv 28 Dosu Kinuta
Follower of Orochimaru
Lv 27 Zaku Abumi
Follower of Orochimaru
Lv 26 Kin Tsuchi
Holy shit. The Oto-nins were all followers of Orochimaru?! What does that mean? Is the village hidden of sound led by the sannin?
I frowned, and suddenly, my eyes fell on a grass ninja. What…
?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?
Lv? Orochimaru
...the fuck?
A/N: Thank you for reading. That was a long one... Next chapter this evening.
