Sorry for the wait! and now I say Ja ne!"


Training ground 44~~

The bushes started rustling all around him, before he knew it he was surrounded by those sharingan creatures,"Why did they come back here?"

A figure appeared behind him,"Wouldn't you follow your master where ever he goes? Hm...Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke spun around, his eye twitched a bit as he looked at the man...or creature before him, he had one eye in the middle of his head. "Who are you?"

He gave the Uchiha a sinister grin,"Shinchiku, the father of Shin Uchiha, defeated by the hands of you"

Sasuke kept staring at the man,"Get your facts straight. I didn't take out your son, it was his own children...or should I say his clones" He smirked as he looked around the forest, "Come to think of it..This is where I took the chunin exams..brings back some memories,"

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

Another proctor approached her, "Anko are you alright? " His eyes widened a bit when he saw her gripping the left side of her neck, "The curse mark is acting up! Does this mean that Orochimaru is nearby?"

Anko slowly nodded in response, Beads of sweat ran down her cheek as she took a few deep breaths and continued to speak, She held up a stack of papers to the crowd, "All right guys! Before you begin the exams, I'm gonna need you to fill out these forms"

Naruto groaned "You gotta be kidding me! Didn't we just come out from an exams?..What for anyway?!" Everyone looked in the blonde ninja's direction as he thew a little tantrum.

Sakura's cheeks got red from the sudden attention they got, She glared at her team mate"That Naruto! I swear! I'm gonna kill him for this!"

Sasuke closed his eyes and sighed, "What a loser!"

Anko gave him a cold stare, then she continued to explain"By signing this form means that you've given consent to take part in the exams...If anyone happens die, It won't be my responsibility! Hahahaha!" She handed them to Naruto, who took one and passed it on to Sasuke.

"Each cell will be given either a heaven or earth scroll. The objective is to try to obtain the scroll you don't have, and reach the tower that's located in the middle of the forest. There are 44 locked gates which circle around this forest which you all will simultaneously use to enter. The scroll is given out in secret so other teams won't know which scroll the other team has and which person is carrying the scroll in each team. You will be disqualified if anyone on your team is killed, tries to open the scroll, or doesn't make it to the tower with both scrolls."

Some random grass ninja raised his hand getting Anko's attention, "Uh..what happens if we open the scroll?"

Anko sneered "If anyone tries to open one of the scrolls, they will set off a spell inside the scroll causing anyone who looks at it to fall unconscious and won't know a thing till the exams are over" Loud gulps and gasps filled the air, her grin widened as she enjoyed the glorious sounds.

Shikamaru raised his hand, "Since it's the middle exam, Can we quit?"

She scoffed at him "Of course you can't quit!..Well you can...if you wanna die"

A long sigh escaped Shikamaru's lips "This is gonna be such a drag!"

After every squad submitted their forms in exchange for a scroll, they stood in front of their respective gates.

''This will be a breeze, no ninja will be a match a for me! I'll send them flying! believe it!" Naruto punched the air, Sakura nodded as inner Sakura appeared "THAT'S RIGHT! WE GOT THIS ONE IN THE BAG! CHA!"

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●

Sarada wiped the sweat off her fore head, "I think that's a gate up ahead, C'mon let's go!" She grabbed Boruto's arm and they ran towards the gate. Anko appeared in front of them.

"What are you lovebirds doing here? Don't you know this is a restricted area?"

Boruto scowled, "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear the part about lovebirds" His grin widened "But we're here to promote the opening of the new dumpling shop, two corners away from this training area!" He pulled the flyer out from his pocket and presented it to her.

Anko's eyes got misty as she looked at the variety of sauces for her dumplings to go with, "Ehem! If you don't mind I have somewhere I need to be, by the time I get back, you two better be gone" with that she disappeared into the trees.

Sarada nodded, "You can count on us!" She turned to her blonde team mate who nodded at her, then they disappeared into the trees as well.

As they jumped from branch to branch, Sarada decided to ask what's been on her mind for the last couple of minutes, "Did you just lie to Anko-sensei?"

"No! There is a dumpling shop there..err I mean it will be *cough* in the future".

A strong wind almost made him loose his footing, he stopped causing Sarada to stop and look back at him, "Is it just me or is the wind getting stronger as we go further?"

Sarada looked ahead and gasped, "You're right! There's a vortex whirlwind heading towards us!"

His sapphire eyes grew wide, "That doesn't sound good!"

The wind was stronger, as it blew, it started to uproot the trees that stood in it's path. "Aaaah!" The branch Sarada held onto broke away blowing her towards the other side of the forest.

"SARADA!" Boruto reached out grab her, but was blown in the other direction instead.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••●●●●●

Sarada groaned as she held her head and squinted her eyes as she examined her surroundings,"It looks like the strong winds have passed" .The thought of a certain loud mouth blond came to her "I hope Boruto is alright,I wonder where he is.." The grass below her started to grow rapidly and wrapped around her arms and feet binding her, "W-What is this?!"

Two grass ninjas jumped down from the branch above her, the girl had shoulder length black hair and emerald eyes and her team mate had blonde hair with coffee brown eyes, The girl stepped forward pointing her kunai towards the female Uchiha's chest, "Now it's time to finish you off and take your scroll!"

Sarada raised her eyebrow, "Come again? I don't know what you're talking about"

Both ninjas started to frisk her, Sarada blushed and glared at them "H-Hey I don't like the way you're touching me!"

After finding nothing they looked at each other with blank expressions,The male grass ninja whispered to his team mate "Kayoko What do we do now?"

Kayoko looked at bound girl, "We kill her that's for sure!"

Sarada give a light chuckle as she broke free with ease, "I don't really know what this scroll is that you two are rambling on about...So how about this...I take yours instead"

Kayoko sweated a bit as she stepped back "W-wha...let's not get hasty here, flatty!"

A vein throbbed at the side of her head,"You'll pay for calling me that! SHANNARO!" In her anger, Sarada slammed her fist to ground, causing the ground to crack and give away under the female grass ninja's feet.

"KAYOKO!" Her team mate shouted in horror as he watched her get buried alive under the pile of rocks, He clenched his fists as he faced Sarada and threw a smoke bomb on the floor.

She closed her eyes and when they were reopened her sharingan was activated, with her quick reflexes she moved aside dodging six shurikens, "I know where you are quit screwing around with me!" She charged head first into the cloud of smoke and pierced her kunai through his chest.

"Such a stupid girl! You fell for it! Hook line and sinker!" He suddenly appeared behind her.

She was about to ask him what he meant when she realised it was a clone she pierced, instead of disappearing with a puff of smoke behind, It started to swell and burst open releasing a purple gas, "Shit! Poison!" She leaped away from the gas, gasping for air as she dropped to her knees, "I feel nauseous..maybe I inhaled some of that poison."

His fist connected to her face, splitting her lip."Aww..what the matter? You don't look so..good! Oh well time to end this!" He took the kunai from her hands, "Any last words?"

She spat out some blood and smirked at him as she started to form hand signs "Yeah! Snake! Sheep! Monkey! Pig! Horse! Tiger! *Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!*

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" His screams echoed through the forest as he was engulfed in the massive orb of flames that came out of her mouth.

After the fire died down, she stood over his charred body, crouched down then flipped him over and started to rummage through his ninja pouch,she pulled out the earth scroll "The label says earth, so i think this is it!... That jutsu took up most of my chakra though" She leaned against a tree trunk in exhaustion and looked at the floor, "It looks like there's some kind of trail on the floor, The whirlwind couldn't have caused this...come to think of it, What caused that wind in the first place?"
