So, I've been wanting to start posting this for a while now, I plan on it being a long series so strap in for the long haul! Shino is probably one of my favorite characters from Naruto and deserves more love!

Yuna is from a long line of powerful blood users, they incorporate chakra into their blood causing it to be molded and used as a weapon when injured in battle. Her family and fellow clan members see their blood as a blessing and often exploit it to gain more power in their village.

Chapter 1: A Chunin?
The sun was shining brightly on another beautiful day in the Leaf Village as I walked casually towards the training field. I could hear even from this distance Reno hollering on about getting their first easily seeing Hayner lean against a tree beside him annoyed.
"Morning Yuna." They said together making me smile yawning lightly replying, "Morning."
"This is the year I can feel it!" Reno said enthusiastically making me raise my eyebrow as Hayner sighed replying, "Reno seems to think Ren-sensei will let us try out for the Chunin exams since his sister is letting her team participate."
I shrugged replying, "It's possible, he does like competing with her and this would be a perfect way to do it."
"See, Yuna agrees." Reno said pointing towards Hayner hearing him give a defeated sigh before replying, "I never said you were wrong just that you can't know for sure."
"Reno is correct." We heard turning quickly to see Ren-sensei standing with a warm smile on his face waving some papers replying, "You all will be competing this year in the Chunin exams."
Reno began cheering running up to Ren giving him a high five taking one of the papers scanning over it excited while I smiled. He began explaining that we were to show up as a team on the date given for the first part of the exam growing antsy just thinking about it.
"Now I'm not saying you have to win at everything, but my dear older sister Kurenai will have her team their too and it's important to show your all." Ren said looking us over sternly making us straighten up nodding.
Ren was incredibly proud of us, but he also wanted to make sure we lived up to his standards when it came to competing. We had met his sister's team a few times and out of them Shino would be the only one I worried about fighting. One because he was quiet and strategical and two, I hated bugs immensely which he used to his advantage.
"Anyway, that's all for now guys, you may enjoy the rest of the day as a team or go your separate ways." Ren said while Reno pumped his fist saying, "Let's all go out for Dango!"
We all agreed making our way to the little shop seeing more traffic than usual since other villages must have started showing up for the Chunin exams. We got a nice seat getting our Dango while Reno began talking about who the competition could be.
"Shino would just have to use his bugs on Yuna and she'd cower in fear." Hayner said quietly making me glare turning red saying, "Hey they are gross okay and what about you Mr. afraid of snakes."
I watched him internally shiver making me smirk while Reno laughed but stopped short looking behind us saying, "Oh hello Anko-sensei."
I watched Ren freeze up turning my head seeing Anko strolling in our direction saying, "Well hello maggots, will you be competing in the Chunin exams this year?"
"Yea Ren-sensei signed us up this year." I said patting his shoulder seeing a light tint of red start to spread on his cheeks as she leaned down towards him replying, "Is that so, well I hope your team is prepared they are in for the toughest Chunin exam yet with yours truly as one of the proctors."
"I have full confidence in them." Ren said hearing his voice go deeper than normal looking like a proud parent making her laugh shaking her head saying, "Whatever you say, we'll just have to see."
"Bye Anko-sensei" Reno said waving seeing Ren let out a sigh of relief causing all of us even Hayner to laugh.
Once we all went our separate ways, I made my way to my apartment deciding to get some training done on my own. Once inside I began doing my stretches and warmups before walking over to my punching bag going to town on it. I began thinking about the Chunin exams and how the other competition would feel about my blood technique. Besides my team and the Hokage no one really knows anything about my ability not even when we sparred with Kurenai's team I relied on my lightning and Taijutsu.
It was hard enough using my blood for the first time against my team when we sparred together though they both didn't care. Reno and Hayner both thought it was cool knowing my intent wasn't one of malice, it was probably why we worked so well together despite their constant bickering.
Morning came sooner than expected as I walked out of my apartment seeing Hayner and Reno waiting for me. We decided to meet at my place to head to where the Chunin exams would be taken since I lived close to the Academy.
"I still don't know why you don't live with one of us Yuna, both our parents said they wouldn't care." Reno said making me shrug replying, "I like my space."
"Reno doesn't understand space." Hayner said tilting his head watching Reno grumble going up to his face saying, "Am I in your space now?"
Hayner knocked him in the head sending Reno down making me giggle walking ahead of them hearing the bickering already begin. Making it up to the room we saw some of the other Genin had already made it, including Kurenai's team.
"Yo team Kurenai." Reno said giving them the peace sign watching them all turn towards us seeing Kiba and Hinata smile.
"Ren-sensei finally let you losers compete I see." Kiba said flashing his canines while Akamaru barked causing Reno to scoff replying, "He just wanted to be extra sure we beat you all."
"It's not a competition Reno… more than one person can become Chunin during the exams." Hayner said crossing his arms hearing to my side, "He's right."
I jumped slightly seeing Shino making me nonchalantly shuffle towards Hinata saying, "At least we know each other."
First chapter is a little short just introducing the characters, next will be longer.
