Sleepless D: Here's another chapter and I'm also letting you know that I've redone a few of the first chapters due to some spelling errors, I've also added some additional scenes that I felt like 'Damn, why didn't I add that in when I had the chance?'. These are the chapters that I've changed a bit to, 1, last half of 3,
It was the day before the exams and during that time Naruto had been training hard, trying to get used to the toad oil and thinking of a new Earth style Jutsu to make but in his words. "It's bloody horrible!" Naruto yells, head hurting and nearly throwing up after using toad oil. "Get used to it is impossible!" He huffed and sat down and crossed his legs, feeling weaker lately, he just noticed that he was having restless nights again.
Last night he woke up on the roof 30 minutes after going to bed, making him awfully confused, especially when he found a melon with a hole in it. He shrugged it off and went to bed that night and woke up and noticed his body was something that looked like he overdosed on steroids. "Did I eat something?" He asked no one.
He's been alright so far but he's been more exhausted quicker and has been sweating like mad again, it was getting late and Naruto thought it was best to get some rest for tomorrow.

It was way past midnight and Naruto was sitting on his bed, staring out of the window and staring at the almost full. "...One...night...left..." He grinned and very sharp toothy grin but then fell backwards and slept.

At the hospital, there were several shocked doctors and they searched the entire hospital for a Sound ninja patient that seemed to escape his room with now two unconscious nurses. "What's going on here?" The Head doctor had just entered the hospital and saw everyone running around. "What's going on here?" She asked.
"Umm...we kind of lost a patient." One of the nurses said, sweating a little.
"What! Who?" The head doctor yells.
"The Sound ninja Dosu Kinuta." The nurse replied.
"What? He shouldn't be able to move at all!" The Head doctor said.
"That's why we're surprised; we also found our medical storage room been raided and it's possible that the two are related." The nurse says.

At the stadium, everyone was getting at their seats for the Chuunin exam tournament, everyone in the tournament was there apart from Sasuke, Naruto and Dosu. In one of the halls in the stadium a heavily bandaged teenage boy took out a needle and injected it into his arm and cringed in pain. "I'll get you for this...you bastard..." He says, soon feeling the pain slowly leave his body and flexing his bad arm. "I won't last long...but I'm not going to kill then..." He says and quickly exits through the door closest to him and found himself on the battle grounds of the stadium with the other contestants standing near the referee and quickly made his way to them.

Naruto was resting by the stadium, knowing that he still has 30 minutes until he had to get there, he was sweating like hell and felt every muscle in his body strained to its max. "Oww..." Is all Naruto says.
"N-Naruto-Kun?" Someone says, making Naruto lift his head to see Hinata standing there with a large blush.
"Oh, hey Hinata..." He replied, still breathing hard. "Sorry for not...coming to see...you sooner, I came...to see you at hospital...but you weren't there...and you fainted when I...saw you last." Naruto chuckled but felt as though he pulled a muscle doing so.
"A-Are you alright N-Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked.
"No...I think I've overdone...it in training..." Naruto says.
Hinata activated her Byakugan and saw his chakra pumping hard through his chakra veins. "I t-think y-you need to see t-the doctor." Hinata says, fearing that he's going to turn into Wild Naruto very soon.
"No...I need to...do the Chuunin exams..." Naruto says, trying to get up but found it hard to do so. "Mind helping me up?" Naruto asked.
Hinata blushed but did as he asked; grabbing hold of him outstretched hand and pulled him up with him grunting in pain as he managed to get on his feet but nearly dropped and grabbed Hinata to stop himself. Hinata froze like a statue and tried to stop herself fainting, only managing to as Naruto stood straight and chuckled as he let go of her when he got his footing. "D-Don't l-let go." She whispered.
Naruto didn't hear her and started to stretch his pain filled muscles, he felt and heard his joints click, he cracked his neck before he took Hinata's hand and smiled. "We better hurry otherwise I'll be late for the tournament." He grinned and hurried towards the stadium with the continuously blushing Hinata. "I think my joints are better than before."

Naruto stood in the middle of the stadium and looked around the full stadium and chuckled. "I'm going to kick everyone's arse!" He yelled.
"Man what a drag, I've got to fight a girl." Shikamaru says, rubbing the back of his neck. "I only got 15 hours sleep last night."
"It's unhealthy to sleep so much, why you ask? Because it can cause muscle deterioration." Shino says.
"Where's Sasuke?" Haku asked, looking around the stadium and seeing many people cheering for the contenders.
"Now that you mention it..." Naruto says, sniffing the air but can't seem to smell him yet for some strange reason he could smell a lot of blood coming from Dosu who had removed some of the bandages around his mouth and kept eating something in his hands.
"Quite down people, these people are here to see you fight not for talking." The referee tells them.
"Where's that sick guy that was refereeing last time?" Naruto asked.
"You mean Hayate? He suffered in an accident and has yet to regain consciousness, I'm Genma Shiranui and I'll be refereeing." Genma says.
"...Alright..." Naruto says. "When do we start?" Naruto asks.
"When the Hokage says so." Genma says, shifting his toothpick in his mouth.

In the stands, Hinata was walking down the stairs, looking around to find a free seat before the final Exam to begin. "Hey Hinata!" Someone yelled making her looked to see Kiba standing nearby with Sakura, Ino and Choji. "Over here!" He yells and she walks over to them and smiled.
"Hello K-Kiba, Sakura, Ino, C-Choji." She smiled.
"Come and sit here with us." Kiba said, patting a seat next to him, Hinata smiled and sat next to him. "Are you looking forward to the fights?" Kiba smirked.
"Y-Yes...I believe Naruto-Kun w-will make it t-to the finals." Hinata smiled.
"Yeah right! Sasuke will win and wipe them all!" Sakura yelled, soon followed By Ino cheering for someone that isn't there.
"What about Shikamaru Ino?" Choji asked, making Ino realise she had her own teammate to support and started cheering for Shikamaru.
Hinata and Kiba started to chuckle. "I remember you!" Someone yelled behind the two, everyone looked around to see two angry looking men with dark brown hair and camouflaged clothes, one was about to walk up to them with his fists clenched until the second one grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't brother! We just got out and I don't think our leader will like that!" The second one said in annoyance, Hinata looked at them and saw that the second one was older then the first and they seemed familiar.
"W-Who are you?" Hinata asked.
"They're the Demon Brothers that your team defeated before you came to the Wave country." Someone said in front of them, everyone turned and stared in shock that another person had snuck up on them without realising it. Takumi was now wearing oversized gray camouflaged clothing like his previous ones minus the coat and the sword.
"T-Takumi? Y-You're with H-Haku right?" She asked.
"Yes, and I hope you remember Kazue, our country's newest Genin." He said, gesturing behind the Demon Brothers, everyone looked again to see the black haired girl in the same clothing as Takumi but fitted her better then Takumi.
"Is that like a get up or something you guys wear?" Kiba asked.
"No, she needed clothes so I gave her clothes." Takumi said.
"...Yeah...but they're boy's clothes..." Ino said in annoyance.
"Just be glad I cave her clothes that fit bitch." Takumi says, staring daggers at her while she gave them back.
"I think we were safer being next to the Idiot Brothers back in prison." The older brother said, looking down to see Haku with another kid that kicked his arse.
"I hate this village..." The other one said and gained a kick from the girl behind. "Ow! What was that for!"
"Haku-Kun likes this village and so do I!" Kazue says.
"Just wait until I get my hands on you, you little feign..." He began to say but felt cold for a second, looking behind him and somehow knowing Haku was going to punish him if he hurt the kid.
"You can feel that too Miezu? You better start acting like Gozu if you want to live." Takumi grinned while seeing the other Genin look confused.

The 'Kazekage' walked up to his seat next to the Hokage. "Ah, Hello Kazekage, I'm glad you here, I hope your journey was safe." The Hokage smiled.
The Kazekage chuckled. "More or less." He replied.
"The exam will begin very shortly." The Hokage smiled.
The Kazekage looked down and saw the three Sand Shinobi awaiting on the field. 'The invasion will be soon...' He thought to himself but then saw the Sound Shinobi. 'I thought Kabuto disposed of them all.' He thought but shrugged it off.
Xxxxx
An ANBU had just entered into the stadium, he looked around and smirked. 'Everyone's in precision...the enemy has even prepared for us, but that won't matter." He chuckled and looked around more and grew confused. "He survived? This should be interesting.' He smirked.

"Hey, what if Sasuke doesn't show up?" Naruto asked.
"If he shows up late for his match, he'll be disqualified." Genma tells him. "Alright, the rules are the preliminary, fight until one acknowledges defeat or I see that the fight is hopeless, we'll start with the extra matches." Genma says. (In my view, the extra matches should be done first so the combatants can rest before the next) "So we're beginning with Dosu and Haku, everyone else go up to the waiting room." Genma tells them, everyone quickly makes his way to the waiting room and looked down at Dosu and Haku who stood across each other.
"I'll have to make this quick." Dosu says, looking up to see the Hokage and the Kazekage watching over them. 'I know where you are...' He says to himself.
"Very well then." Haku says.
"You may begin!" Genma says and steps away.
Dosu took the last of what was in of pain killers in his hand, not really feeling much of his body at the moment, he swung his arm near him but Haku dodged it and the air quickly became cold, making everyone in the stadium start to shiver. "What's going on!" Someone yelled.
"Damn!" Dosu curses, finding it difficult to direct his chakra to the sound to attack the person's inner ear. "This will be harder then I though." He chuckles as he sees ice forming around the ground.
"You best surrender." Haku says while sinking into the ice covered ground.
Dosu raised an eyebrow, looked around as Haku disappeared. "You can't escape from me." Dosu chuckled and held his Melody arm near his ear and listened, after a few seconds he quickly jumped to the left as several ice needles shot out of the ground, Dosu chuckled as he dodged even more needles aimed at his blind spots.
Haku slowly raised his head above the ice. "How are you dodging?" Haku asked.
"I can hear the smallest vibrations in the air with this arm." He chuckled, quickly raising his arm. "And I hope you know that sound can travel through water, and ice is basically water." Dosu said and slammed his fist into the ground.
Nothing seemed to happen but the ice started to shake violently and slowly started to crack, Haku quickly jumped out of the ice and started to charge at Dosu. Dosu saw him coming and quickly dodged his attack and swung his arm, this time he managed to control it and his Haku's ear, Haku stopped and his head seemed to crack, making Dosu look confused as Haku's head exploded into ice. "You should expect the unexpected." A voice said behind him, he turned and saw Haku standing behind him and quickly got stabbed in the side.
Dosu grunted and tried to punch Haku, the Wave ninja was quick and dodged him and jumped several feet away. "I think I popped a stitch." Dosu grunts and holds his side in pain.
"That was me being slow." Haku says as more ice started to form around the ground again.
"I still have some fight in me." Dosu said, moving his foot across the ground to shift the broken ice to see the ground. "I've been waiting to try this out." Dosu chuckles and starts swinging his arm faster and faster and slammed the ground. "Sound Shock Wave!" Dosu yells.
After a few second, spikes started shooting out of the ground and heading straight towards Haku, Haku's eyes widened in shock and started jumping backwards and the spicks soon followed. Haku stopped near the wall and quickly did a hand sign. 'Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirror.' Haku says to himself and jumps back as the spicks hit where he was.
"It's over." Dosu said, but then felt confused as he picked up something big and fast fly by and was soon smashed in the back of the head and he collapsed, feeling slight pain since he was drugged up. "That hurt..." He mumbles and stands up, feeling several bleeding areas from stitches starting to open old wounds. "I won't last long if one of them fully opens." He grumbles and looks to see Haku in front of an ice mirror holding an ice club. "I forfeit." He says before leaving while holding onto his wounds.
Haku looked confused and half the audience cheered even if it was unnaturally clod while the other booed for him surrendering so quickly. "The winner is Haku by surrender; the next match will follow...as soon as we get rid of this bloody cold." Genma said, rubbing his arms to warm them up.
"That was great Haku!" Naruto cheered.
"Man, I didn't know this guy could teleport through ice...man what a drag." Shikamaru says in annoyance.
"I don't believe he actually teleported, why you ask? Because if you watched carefully, you would have seen that there was fast movement and-" Shino began.
"Whatever Shino, I was just saying it was a drag." Shikamaru stated, making Shino die a little inside, always angry whenever he isn't allowed to finish his sentences.
"It's you turn now isn't it?" Naruto grinned.
"Yeah, but you heard the guy, we wait until they warm the place up thanks to that guy." He says and sighs, seeing his own breath.
"Aw why do we have to wait...do I smell ramen?" Naruto asked, smelling the air and then remembering that the owner of Ichiraku said he'd be setting a small shop here to feed anyone that's hungry. "I'll be back." He grinned and started to follow his nose.

Dosu leaned against the wall as he exited the arena, groaning in pain as he was blood appear under his bandages. "This is going to be trouble..." He sighed, taking out some more bandages from his pack that he stole from the hospital and started to replace the old ones in pain.
"What happened to you!" Someone yelled in shock, he jumped and saw Haku.
"Ah shit..." He grunts cursing for not checking if anyone else was going to show up. "I'm suffering from several recent wounds." Dosu told him, not finding any purpose for lying. "That 4 eyed bastard." He grunts in pain as he tightened the new bandages around him.
"You should be seen to by a doctor." Haku says in concern. "You shouldn't have even been fighting."
"I know that, I just don't have time to rest and I need to avenge my bastard comrades." Dosu says, checking his other wounds to see if they need immediate attention.
"What happened to your comrades?" Haku asked.
"They were taken and are probably dead by now, I didn't really like them but they deserved better than that." Dosu says and starts to walk off in search of something or someone. "I'm not a pawn in that snake's bloody games!" He yells as he moves along.
Haku was increasingly worried and quickly summoned an Ice clone to find his teammates and send them to follow Dosu as he followed himself to make sure he'd be alright.

The stadium had warmed up a bit and the fourth match with Shikamaru and Temari was already nearly over, it was going pretty much the same but Shikamaru used the large amount of ice that remained as a way to use his shadow to extend itself. (Remember when he did the same with the water fall? I thought why not Ice?)
Shikamaru walked forward towards Temari who was in his Shadow Position Jutsu, he raised his hand and surrendered, gaining shocked faces and several boos and objects thrown at him.

"That child is a tactical genius." The Kazekage said in surprise.
"I wouldn't expect any less from a Nara, although he did give up without much thought, if he puts his mind to it, he'd make a great Chuunin and maybe a Jounin." The Hokage smiles.
"Yes, but let's focus on the next match shall we?" The Kazekage asks.
"You're right." The Hokage smiles, looking forward to this fight since it was now Naruto's turn.
Xxxxx
Haku appeared with the others in the waiting room. "What took you Haku?" Naruto asked while breathing heavily.
Haku smiled. "Nowhere." He chuckled and looked to see Shikamaru and Temari wonder into the building to get here. "Isn't it you turn now Naruto?" He asked.
Naruto nodded, feeling more exhausted then before and stared at Neji with hate. "You'll fail before you even lay a punch on he, and that's a million in one chance." Neji smirked.
"I like those odds." Naruto chuckled as he walked toward the arena.
Xxxxx
Dosu was in at the back of the stands, breathing heavily as he injected another pain killer into his arm, failing to realise that two Wave ninja were watching in confusion. "I think he's doped up." Takumi says and looks at his younger companion who nods in agreement.
Xxxxx
The other members of the Rookie Nine were cheering as Naruto and Neji walked to the field. "Kick his arse Naruto!" Kiba yelled.
"This kid's got no chance against a Hyuga." A Chuunin said behind them, gaining several agreements, even from Ino and Sakura.
"Well Naruto has speed." Choji defended Naruto.
"Yeah, but so did Lee and He had strength to kick in as well." Sakura said.
"That may be true...but Naruto sure as hell wasn't human when I fought him." Kiba whispers, having only Hinata hear him and nodded, knowing that it was more true then he knew.
"It's that kid!" Miezu yelled, starting to walk forward but then sees Haku's Ice clone that stayed there to make sure the Demon Brothers didn't do anything rash.
"Do you want to suffer?" Haku asked, gaining a quick no from Miezu. "Then behave."
Xxxxx
Naruto was breathing heavily and looked at the mid to late afternoon sky and wondered why he was this tired at this time of day. "Do you really expect me to defeat me?" Neji says, then seeing Naruto smirk. "Got something to say?" Neji asked.
"I...said...I'll...kill...you..." Naruto grunts, grabbing his head in pain and looks at Neji with very pail blue eyes and a sharp toothy grin, slowly returning to normal Naruto who didn't seem to notice what he said.
"You may begin!" Genma announces and jumps back
Sleepless D: I'm sure you're all enjoying this, I'll probably be late to update this but I'm also trying to redo the beginning half of the story since there was quite a bit I've missed and that's annoyed me. But I'll tell you which ones I've changed enough to probably be worth reading again, please review! Peace out and Merry Christmas...although it won't be very later on so who cares?
