Anonymous Review:
Black-Wolf-2631: First of all thanks so much for reviewing! It made my day! Second of all aha yeah I plan to have many smexy Sasuke and Shiomi moments ;D Hope you enjoy this chapter! Aha, I love Lee and Guy they are too funny :P
|Chapter Start|
|Shiomi Hatake|
When we reached the third floor I saw Kakashi and Ai standing in front of the door.
"Well Sakura, I'm glad you came. But this does change up a couple things…" Kakashi said, with Ai at his side. We each gave him a questioning look, "What do you mean?" Sakura asked. Kakashi sighed "Only groups of three are allowed to apply for and take the chunin exam, that's the way it's always been. "But sensei there is four of us on team 7…" Sakura pointed out. My eyes widened when Ai shot me a look. I think I know where they were going with this, but I really hope I'm wrong. I don't want to be separated with my friends and Sakura. We were a team, you can't just break a team apart.
"That's right, because this is an individual choice there were two possible outcomes. Sakura we knew you were indecisive about what you were going to do but it was obvious your other team members were going to jump at the chance. So if you decided not to take the exams there would still be a group of three and it would've worked out but if you did decide to take the exam then one of you would have to join another team" Ai explained. I sighed and leant my head on Sasuke's arm "Three guesses who" I muttered. Kakashi and Ai both gave me a nod. "Wait so who's going on the other team!?" Naruto asked. "Shiomi is" Ai and Kakashi said together.
I felt three pairs of eyes focus on me and I also felt Sasuke tense from beside me. "What?" he hissed out, his arm tightening around my waist. Sakura and Naruto both looked shocked and I sighed, I was a bit upset about this but I mean it's what has to happen. I could try and fight it but that attitude could just keep me from taking the chunin exams. "I know none of you are happy with this arrangement but it's what has to be done" Kakashi said. "WHAT? NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Naruto yelled, an angry look coming over his face.
I removed Sasuke's arm from my waist and moved over to Naruto, I brought him in for a hug and I felt his arms wrap around my waist before he squished me to him. Oh this was a little bit suffocating but I would let it slide this time. I pulled back a bit and cupped his face like I would with a young child "Hey Naruto, we are still going to be a team but this is only temporary. Nothing can break the bonds we've made with each other. Trust me, once this is over we'll still be the kickass team known as team 7" I whispered. Naruto gave me a sad look before he fully released me.
I moved a step over and looked at Sakura. I looked into her sea foam green eyes and we both nodded to each other, fully understanding what we wanted to say to each other. I stuck my hand out and she grasped it with her own. "Take care of them alright? And no hitting on Sasuke" I teased lightly. Sakura gave a low laugh "I will but I make no promises about Sasuke" she said back, a playful twinkle in her eyes. I grinned and released her hand before walking over to my boyfriend. I felt the others turn away to give us a sort of private moment.
Sasuke was glaring at Kakashi's back and his hands were clenched to his sides. When I was right in front of him he reached his arms out and brought me to his chest. I slowly brought my arms up and wrapped them around his neck, resting my head on his chest. I sighed and breathed in his spicy scent while the rest of the world seemed to melt away. We stayed silent for a few moments before I lifted my head and looked into his dark eyes. "I don't want to switch teams" I murmured quietly to him. Sasuke's form rumbled with a chuckle "I know, I don't feel comfortable with you on a team with two other boys" he muttered. I grinned and reached up on my tip toes so I could peck his cheek. "Jealous?" I teased. Sasuke frowned "No" he muttered. I laughed and shook my head "Good, there's no reason to be" I murmured. Sasuke bent his head and lightly brushed my lips with his, sending tingles throughout my body.
He pulled away and I pouted, making him smirk. "That can hardly count as a kiss" I muttered, unwrapping my arms from his neck. He shook his head and chuckled "Later" he murmured. I nodded my head and turned back around. Sasuke and I didn't need to say anything too… mushy. I know just from looking at his eyes how he felt and what he wanted to say. I also knew that he could see the same when he looked at me. I grasped his hand in mine and squeezed it lightly before moving over to Kakashi and Ai.
"Alright so who are the lucky bastards that get to be called my teammates?" I asked.
Ai laughed and Kakashi rolled his eyes at me. "I think one of them will be a familiar face" Kakashi Ai said, sending me a wink when I gave her a confused look. "Boys" Ai called. I turned around and looked down the hallway to see two boys walking towards me. My mouth popped open and my eyes widened in surprise. "Hikaru?" I said in surprise. I felt Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke giving me confused looks at my excited one. "The one and only" the blue haired boy exclaimed, giving me a light smirk as he and the other boy moved closer. I grinned and ran towards my former friend.
Hikaru Kobayashi was one of my friends back in the sand. He had light skin and was tall with midnight blue hair and eyes to match. Hikaru was clad in dark coloured shorts and a dark shirt to match. His left leg had bandages on it and the opposite arm, which was the right, was bandaged as well. He had his sand headband strapped to his head while his mouth was up in a playful smirk and a teasing glint was in his eyes. Along with the sand siblings he was one of my very best friends, we did so many things together and he accepted Gaara and I for who we were.
Once I reached him halfway I jumped and he caught me in his arms. I laughed into his chest "It's great to see you!" I chimed after he put me down. Hikaru grinned and patted my head affectionately. "You too Hatake… I told you I'd see you again. You just can't keep away from me can you?" he teased. I rolled my eyes and shoved him away "You came to me stupid" I said. He grinned and waved his hand in dismissal "Details, details" he teased. I rolled my eyes and hopped away from him before turning to the boy beside him.
"I'm guessing you're our other teammate" I asked. The boy nodded "Yup! I'm Reo Arashi" he introduced with a bright smile. He was a couple inches shorter than Hikaru but still taller than me, he had black hair that was styled in an upward way, his eyes were the same shade but there was a twinkle of humor in them that made me smile. I noticed he had a scar that trailed from the left part of his forehead, across his left eye and down to where his nose was. Reo also had a dragon tattoo drawn on his right arm. He was wearing light grey pants with a black sleeveless coat that only buttoned to the tips of his pants before it flared open down to just above the ground.
"Nice to meet you" I chirped. "Likewise" he replied. I gave each of them a grin before turning back around to face my friends and sensei's. "Why didn't you tell me Hikaru was coming!?" I asked. Ai laughed "He wanted it to be a surprise" she said, shrugging. I rolled my eyes and thumped Hikaru on the head "Jerk" I muttered. He grinned "You know you love it, now introduce us to the people behind you. The one with duck hair is glaring at me, it's giving me the shivers" he whispered, shivering for effect. I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"This one here is Naruto Uzumaki" I said pointing to Naruto. Hikaru grinned and waved while Naruto gave him an appraising look YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF SHIOMI-CHAN! OR ELSE YOU'LL HAVE ME TO DEAL WITH, BELIEVE IT!" he shouted. Hikaru raised a brow at me and I rolled my eyes, grinning before moving onto Sakura. "This pinkette is Sakura Haruno" I told them. Hikaru checked her out before shaking his head "Too girly" he muttered. Sakura glared and I laughed "Oh hush" I said, mock sternly. He just gave me a cheeky grin "Who's the one with the attitude?" he asked. I grinned and moved to Sasuke who wrapped a possessive arm around my waist.
"This is my boyfriend Sasuke Uchiha" I introduced.
Hikaru's mouth popped open and Reo and I laughed at him. "YOU GOT A BOY TOY AND DIDN'T TELL ME!?" he shouted. I thwacked his head "I got a boyfriend not a boy toy and you didn't tell me you were coming so we're even!" I shouted back. Hikaru tsked and I rolled my eyes "Now that were done with introductions why don't you go in now?" Kakashi suggested. Hikaru and broke our staring contest and just grinned. I knew he wasn't mad but I also knew that he wouldn't be letting it go anytime soon. Sasuke turned us around so we faced Kakashi and Ai. "Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke and Shiomi. I am proud of all of you, I couldn't ask for a better team. Even though you are separated you are still one, good luck out there" he said before Ai and him moved to the side to let us into the room.
Together the six of us walked into the classroom together.
A bright light engulfed us as the doors closed. I blinked a couple times before my eyes adjusted to the light. I gasped a little bit at the sight. "Looks like we're not the only ones" Sakura whispered nervously. I nodded my head in agreement and moved a little closer to Sasuke, even I had to admit that some of the people looked really intimidating. I did not want to get on their bad side, that was for sure. I shivered a little bit at some of the looks we were getting some looked curious, nervous, interested and there were even a couple of lusty ones. Damn hormones…
"SHIOMI!" a voice called. I started to turn around but found myself suddenly in hard embrace. "I'VE MISSED YOU!" the perky blonde yelled in my ear. I flinched and gave a light chuckle "Hey Ino-chan" I greeted. "Hi Sasuke-kun" she said dreamily, Sasuke rolled his eyes and pried her off of me, wrapping his arms around me from behind. I felt a shiver flow through me and I smiled lightly, now I understood why some girls loved being hugged from behind. It made you feel safe and protected and it was just such a sweet embrace.
Anyways…
"Who is that?" Hikaru asked, making me jump slightly. I haven't even noticed he moved beside me. I followed his eyes and saw he was looking at Ino. I rolled my eyes and smacked his arm "Don't even think about, that is my best friend. Besides she's already spoken for" I told him. Hikaru groaned "All the hot ones are always taken" he mumbled moodily. I laughed and rolled my eyes at him. He was definitely a ladies man. Ino looked over at Hikaru and raised a brow at me, I was about to answer until her gaze slipped behind him and an annoyed expression took over her face.
"Miss. Forehead… they let you in? I see you still have those frown lines on your big forehead." Ino remarked. Sakura glared "LEAVE MY FOREHEAD OUT OF IT!" Sakura shrieked. I saw Hikaru grin "Me-ow" he teased. I laughed and nodded my head in agreement. Sakura and Ino really shouldn't be allowed in the same room together. It's like World War Three or something, I'm not even kidding. Well at least they can't fight over Sasuke, he's mine now. HAH!
Okay possessive moment over now.
"Oh it's you guys, I knew this was going to be a drag but I didn't know it was going to be this lame" a lazy voice drawled. I twisted in Sasuke's arms and grinned when I saw Shikamaru and Choji slowly walk over to us. I was wondering where those two were, they surely wouldn't leave Ino alone for too long. "Hey boys!" I said with a smile. "Meet my teammates, Hikaru Kobayashi and Reo Arashi." I introduced. "What do you mean?" Ino asked, giving me a curious look as she walked over to where her teammates were standing. I noticed that she was standing a little closer than necessary to Shikamaru and I gave her a secret smile, to which she playfully stuck her tongue out at me.
"Only groups of three are allowed to enter, so one of us had to go on another team temporarily. Apparently it had to be me" I shrugged. "At least you get to be with your drop dead gorgeous best friend" Hikaru said. I rolled my eyes "As gorgeous as a blob fish" I muttered sarcastically. Reo and Sasuke chuckled, I shivered lightly when I felt the rumble of his chuckle against my back. Hikaru glared at me and I just gave him a cheeky grin. Hikaru opened his mouth to say something but Naruto cut him off.
"So you three stooges are here?" Naruto said, acting like our little exchange never happened. Shikamaru moved forward "You know what pipsqueak..!" he started and for a moment I actually thought he was going to do something. But of course being the lazy boy he was Shikamaru backed off. "Ah forget it, you're a waste of time" he muttered, going back to his lazy stance. I giggled and rolled my eyes "And the laziness takes over again" I murmured. Beside him Choji was happily munching on his chips watching the whole exchange with careful eyes.
"Well, well, well whatya know? It looks like the whole gang is back together again" an amused voice said. I turned and grinned, of course it was Kiba, Shino and Hinata. "Hi Naruto" Hinata said shyly. I grinned at her while Naruto gave her a somewhat dazed look. "Hmm?" he said giving her a confused look. Hinata turned red and hid behind Kiba a little more. I gave them each a small wave "Hey" I greeted, leaning back against Sasuke.
"Looks like everyone's here for this stupid thing" Shikamaru muttered sounding tired and annoyed. Kiba grinned at us while Akamaru barked happily, man that dog is just adorable! "Haha yup, the rookie 10 are back together plus two other people…" he said trailing off and indicating to Reo and Hikaru. I grinned "This idiot over here is my friend Hikaru Kobayashi and this is my new friend Reo Arashi" I introduced. "What are they doing here?" Kiba asked. "They're my temporary teammates" I explained. Kiba grinned "I'm Kiba Inuzuka and this is Akamaru, Hinata and Shino" he said, introducing his team. "Nice to meet ya" Reo said, grinning at each of them.
"Well this is going to be fun, well at least for those of us that can make the cut… right Sasuke" Kiba said, smirking at my boyfriend. I looked up and saw Sasuke was grinning back "Kiba, careful you don't get overconfident" he teased. "Just wait, we're going to blow you all away. We've been training like crazy" Kiba said. Naruto clenched his fists "Well what do you think we've been doing? Sitting around picking daises? You don't know what training means!" he exclaimed. I rolled my eyes, there goes Naruto shooting off his mouth again. But hey, you got to love him for that. It makes things so much more interesting.
"Um… don't mind Kiba… I'm sure… he didn't mean anything by it" Hinata's nervous voice stuttered out. Naruto turned towards her "HUH!?" Naruto exclaimed. Hinata stepped back and blushed, pushing her fingers together nervously. "Uh…" she said. Kiba turned and looked down at her, a confused expression on his face. Suddenly Choji started to take a couple steps towards Kiba until Shino stepped in the way. "What do you want?" Choji muttered. "Didn't want you stepping on it" Shino stated. I shivered, his voice was so… creepy. Sasuke's arms tightened around me reassuringly and I grinned when Sakura shot me a jealous look. Haha, sucks for you pinkette.
"Hey you guys might want to try keeping it down a bit" a silver haired boy said as he walked towards us.
Everyone turned to look at the oncoming stranger. "I mean no offense but you guys are the rookies right?" he asked. "I wouldn't go making a spectacle of yourselves" glasses warned. "This isn't a class field trip. "Well who asked you? And who the hell are you?" Ino demanded. I shot her a look that clearly said to calm her jets. "I'm Kabuto Yakushi, but why don't you look around you. You all made quiet the spectacle" He said. Immediately we all turned to look and I blushed when I saw that most of the room was staring at us or well glaring at us as well.
"This exam makes everyone tense. You do not want to rub people the wrong way, but I guess it can't be helped. You don't know how things work. You're just rookies and to be honest you remind me of myself" Kabuto said. I gave him a scrutinizing look, there was something about him that I did not like. I was feeling a bit uneasy every time he glanced at me. "Sasuke" I whispered. "Hn..." he answered. "He's giving me a bad feeling" I muttered. Sasuke nodded "Don't worry" he murmured, lightly kissing the back of my head. I blushed and nodded "If you say so…" I murmured, giving Kabuto one last wary look.
"This isn't the first time you've taken this exam?" Sakura asked, her voice was somewhat steely. "No it's… my seventh" he said, sounding a bit embarrassed. I raised a brow in his direction, it was his seventh time? Were the exams really that hard? Or was Kabuto just a crap ninja? "Wow you must be an expert!" Sakura exclaimed. Kabuto shot her a smile "Sort of" he replied nonchalantly. "You can give us all the inside tips!" Naruto and Reo exclaimed together. "Some expert, he's never even passed" Shikamaru muttered. "Well seventh times the charm right?" he joked lightly. I cracked a grin, sure whatever floats his boat.
"So I guess all those rumors of the exam being tough are true? Man this is going to be such a drag" Shikamaru muttered sadly. I giggled, I didn't understand how he was so smart but so lazy at the same time. "Hang on, maybe I can help you kids out a bit… with my ninja info cards" he said mysteriously as he held up some orange cards. "What are those?" I asked, untangling myself from Sasuke and moving a bit closer to Kabuto. My curiosity was getting the best of me…
"These cards have been chakra encoded with everything I've learned over the passed years" he explained. Kabuto knelt down on one knee and began to lay his cards on the ground. I looked at them with fascination and curiosity. I wonder what each card would possess. "There are more than 200 of them, so you see my time hasn't been completely wasted" he said. He flipped one over and I saw it was blank. "It's blank…" Reo murmured from beside me, I looked to my side and saw he had got there without me noticing. Huh, I should start paying attention…
Kabuto pressed his index finger on the card and began to spin it around as he explained how it worked. A moment later there was a puff of smoke and the card suddenly had information on it. I nodded my head approvingly, I had to admit that was pretty interesting. He's been here four years, he could information on just about everyone. I wonder of had anything on me, it was quite possible. People talk and Kabuto seems like the type of person that would be able to get information very easily. That could be a very good asset in the exams…
"What's it a map of?" asked Sakura. "It shows the geographical distribution of all the candidates" he explained. I noticed that it told us what village they came from and the total from each village. I had to admit that it was pretty impressive. Kabuto kept on talking while I pondered the cards and whether to count Kabuto as a main enemy or one of the more minor ones. I was only snapped from my thoughts when I heard Sasuke say something from beside me. "That's not all is it?" he mused. Kabuto shook his head "No this is so they can properly regulate the number of shinobi that end up in each village" he explained. I nodded my head, already knowing this information.
Do not trust him, understand?
Amora?
Yeah, just trust me on this alright? Let's call it… dragon's intuition. She mused.
Alright, you know I trust you so if you say not to trust him then I won't.
Good.
Then she went silent again, most likely paying attention to the conversation at hand. I wondered why she would tell me that, I shrugged it off though. Whatever, Amora is like a mother to me. I knew better than to doubt her, she wouldn't lie to me about some one. Besides I was already getting bad vibes from the guy in the first place. "Do those cards of yours have any info on the candidates, individually?" Sasuke asked. Kabuto smirked at him, "They might" he answered. "You got some one special in mind?" he asked. Sasuke's eyes narrowed and hardened, I think I knew exactly who he was thinking about and it was someone with deep red hair and sparkling green eyes…
"I might" Sasuke answered breezily. Kabuto shrugged "Well I can't promise that my information is perfect and complete but I do have something on just about everyone. Of course this includes you guys" he said slyly. I raised a brow and scoffed, I highly doubt that he had anything on me. I knew Ai sensei and she kept all her students information top secret, know one would know a thing about me unless they absolutely had to. "So tell me anything about them, I can have them here in a second" he boasted. Sasuke gave Kabuto a glare "He's Gaara of the desert and Rock Lee of the leaf village while you're at it" he muttered. See I told you, but I have to admit I didn't think he would ask about Lee.
"That's no fun, you already now their names. It makes it too easy" Kabuto complained as he placed the card on top of the deck. Choji munched loudly and burped as Kabuto swiped the deck for the cards he was looking for. I scrunched my face in a disgusted expression, that was pretty gross he could of at least said excuse me afterwards. "Here they are" Kabuto said, holding the cards up to his face. Sasuke tensed from beside me "Show me them" he demanded. Kabuto nodded and did the finger thing again "First up is Rock Lee" he said. I glanced down at the card and saw a picture of Lee and his stats had suddenly appeared.
"Lee is a year older than you guys, his got eleven C ranks and twenty D ranks. Squad leader is Guy and in the last five months his tai-jutsu has radically increased but his other skills are pretty shaky. As a genin last year he got a lot of attention but for some reason he chose not to compete in the chunin exams. This will be his first time as a candidate, he'll be competing along with his teammates Tenten and Neji Hyuga." He mused. I took a glance at Hinata and saw her features had saddened a bit. When she caught me staring she gave me a nervous smile and I grinned back before turning back around.
"Now Gaara of the desert…" Kabuto said as he got the card ready.
"Mission experience is eight C ranks and wow get this one B rank. But there's not a lot more information on this guy. He was a rookie from another land originally but there is this he's survived every mission without getting a scratch on him." Kabuto informed them. I nodded my head "I suspected that would be the only thing you had" I mumbled. Kabuto shot me a look and his glasses glinted in the sunlight. "And who are you?" he asked. I smirked "Shiomi Hatake" I said. Kabuto grinned "Let's see what we have on you then shall we?" he mused. I grinned and nodded my head "Go ahead, this will probably be more amusing than informative" I said. Kabuto swiped his deck and got a card out.
"Wow, the guy has been on a B rank and has never even been injured." Shikamaru exclaimed. "What's the deal with this guy?" Naruto asked. Of course nobody answered him and we all stayed staring at Kabuto. "Ah here it is" he said, placing the blank card down. He spun it a few times before my face suddenly appeared on the side. I grinned he barely had anything on me. "A little secretive are we?" he murmured. "Shiomi Hatake the sister of the legendary copy nin Kakashi Hatake and student of not only Ai Minase but of Tsunade and Jiraiya two of the three sanin" Kabuto murmured lowly. I don't really think anyone could hear him, Kabuto looked up at me and his glasses glinted in the light, I gasped when I saw him giving me an evil look but it was gone as fast as it came.
"You alright there Shiomi?" Reo asked. I nodded my head and gave him a weak smile "Yeah, fine thanks" I mumbled back. "So what's the card say? What are all Shiomi's dirty little secrets?" Kiba asked, sending me a sly look. I rolled my eyes and sent Kabuto a scathing look "Nothing, right Kabuto?" I asked innocently. Kabuto sent me a big fake smile "Looks like you're one of the harder cases Hatake." He commented, laughing lightly. I grinned when he put the card away "Sorry guys but it looks like you're all going to have to wait until the actual exams to get a peek at my skills" I teased. Kiba groaned "What a let down" he muttered, Akamaru barked in agreement. I shrugged "I'm a well kept secret" was all I said.
"From the looks of it each village has sent exceptional candidates for the exam this year. Of course the hidden sound village is small and just sprang up recently. No one seems to know anything about it, those guys are a mystery" Kabuto said. I lifted my head and looked at each sound ninja, they did look pretty intimidating but nothing that we couldn't handle. Kabuto picked up his cards and got up off of the floor "Well the competition is going to be tough this year." Kabuto commented. I looked at my fellow kunoichi and saw they all had worried looks on their faces. I think Kabuto just made them a lot more nervous than they originally were. I wouldn't blame them, I mean even I was pretty nervous about this.
"Do you really think it'll be that tough?" I asked. Kabuto smirked "Oh yeah, in my four years of taking the exam this crop of candidates definitely has the most potential by far." He answered. I nodded my head, of course the year we decide to take the exams has to have all the best ninja taking it as well. This kind of sucked, I mean yeah I enjoy a good challenge just as much as the next person but this was going to take a lot of work, and a lot of training if we wanted to pass this stupid thing. "We've got our work cut out for us" Kabuto remarked and I couldn't help but agree with him.
I jumped backwards when Naruto suddenly yelled and brought his finger up, pointing it at everyone in the room. I winced and moved a little bit away from him, oh kami please tell me he's not going to do something stupid. It'll just put the fuel to the fire for the other candidates and that seriously wasn't good. You don't want to be making enemies this early on in the game. Everyone in the room quieted and stared at Naruto. He grinned proudly "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to beat every one of you. Believe it!" he cried. I couldn't help but grin at the end of his sentence, I guess Naruto was just going to be Naruto. There really was nothing we could do about that, he'd always be the loud and overconfident boy that we all loved.
"TELL YOUR BOYFRIEND TO KEEP HIS TRAP SHUT!" Ino shrieked at Sakura. Sakura glared and made a fist "WHOSE BOYFRIEND!?" Sakura screamed back. I shook my head, and they didn't want to get noticed? Yeah having a screaming match is really going to keep you from being noticed. "OH I FORGOT YOU CAN'T GET ONE!" Ino said. Sakura became madder "WHAT'D YOU SAY!?" she asked in an equally loud voice as Ino. "Yeah! I feel better now" Naruto said, placing his arms behind his head. I giggled and Sasuke smirked while Reo and Hikaru just stared at all of us. They probably thought we were crazy, but who cares? We very well could be.
Sakura started to strangle Naruto while Kiba and Shikamaru commented on his idiotic outburst. Sakura suddenly stopped and waved a hand at the room. "Oh hi everyone, don't mind him. Sometimes he says these spazzy things but he doesn't really mean them…" she said, rambling on about some condition Naruto had. I scoffed, she was most likely making matters worse with her rambling. Of course I tuned out Sakura's annoying blabber, seriously nobody listens to her lectures so she should just hush up. Sometimes Sakura could just be too annoying to deal with.
My senses picked something up and in a split second I saw the sound ninja running towards Kabuto. "Look out!" I called just as one of them leaped up with two kunai in his hands, wow they were pretty quick. Kabuto was able to move just in time but as he was getting up a second ninja came in front of him, getting ready to take a hit but he didn't because at that moment Kabuto's glasses shattered and the glass fell to the floor making small tinkling sounds. "Oh I get it, so it was that kind of attack" Kabuto remarked, taking his broken glasses off.
"Hang on he dodged the attack, how did that happen?" Sasuke asked, moving closer to the both of them. I couldn't help but smirk, I felt kind of smart right now. I guess all my training with each sensei really did pay off. "Must've come closer than it looked, keh look at him acting like it was nothing. Real tough guy" Shikamaru said.
Kabuto suddenly pulsed before he fell to the ground. He started to wretch on the ground and I couldn't help but wince slightly at the noise. Sakura and Naruto ran over to help the silver haired boy up. "Write this on your little card punk, the genin from the sound village will be chunin after this is over, I guarantee it." The one with weird hair sneered. Naruto and Sakura glowered at the sound nin as they helped Kabuto. But before anything could be explained a large puff of smoke popped up from behind us. I spun around and grabbed Sasuke's hand, I had to admit that kind of surprised me. "Alright you baby faced degenerates. Pipe down and listen up" the masculine voice called from behind the smoke. I took a small step so I was in line with Sasuke and not too close to the smoke. You never know who or what might pop out of there.
When the smoke cleared there was a man standing there with scars on his face and a sly grin on his lips. Behind him were his entourage looking very professional and grinning at all of us. "It's time to begin. I am Ibiki Morino Your proctor, and from this moment… your worst enemy" he said, smirking at the end.
My eyes widened slightly and I clutched onto Sasuke's hand tighter, he seemed to see my distress and uncurled his hand from mine before slinking it around my waist in a protective manner. His name sounded familiar… Ibiki Morino? Wasn't he part of the torture and interrogation unit?
Well damn…
I guess the Chunin Exams have really begun.
I'm sorry this came out late, there's just a lot going on and yeah… I won't bore you with details.
So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, took me all day to do. I was supposed to send this out earlier but the Karate Kid (1984 version) was on and it kept distracting me! I really need to find someone who will keep me focused…
Anyways, I'm dead beat so I am going to go to bed now. Goodnight! Or morning! Depends on where you are…
Tell me what you think, review please!
Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed, favourite, followed etc. I really appreciate it! You always make my day! :D
