Episode 2: New Opponents of the Chunin Exams!
I woke up this morning, got ready, and went outside. Outside stood Kankuro, Gaara, and Temari. I smiled and we all headed to our next stop. The leaf village of Konoha. Where the Chunin Exams will be held. When we arrived, Kankuro said, "Alright. We'll split up and take a look around."

Me and Gaara went east while Kankuro and Temari went west. As we walked, I asked Gaara, "So. What's your deal? You always seem so quiet."

Gaara sighed and said, "It's a long story. I don't like to talk about it. So what about you? Do you have a family?"

I looked down and said, "No. I never knew my parents. I lived with my uncle. Then he died trying to protect Hyrule castle from a dark wizard."

Gaara paused and then said, "It's Kankuro. He's at it again. Follow me."

As we jumped through the trees, we stopped and saw Kankuro picking on some kids. I raised an eyebrow and said, "Kankuro's a bully?" Gaara just nodded and made a gesture telling me to stay quiet. In an instant, a rock flew and stopped Kankuro. We looked at the above branch and saw a kid with black hair, a blue shirt, and a leaf headband.

Gaara eyes went into focus and said, "Stay here." Gaara focused his chakra and was then standing on the underside of the branch.

After Gaara was finished giving a stern talk to Kankuro, I jumped down and said, "Wow Kankuro. Never you were a bully."

Kankuro frowned and said, "Stay out of this Link."

As we walked off, the black haired kid said, "Wait. What's your name? You two. With the gourd and sword.

Gaara turned and said, "I'm Gaara. Of the desert."

I then turned and said, "And I'm Link. Swordsman of the Sand."

The kid smiled and said, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. Of the Uchiha clan."

The kid next to Sasuke grinned and asked, "Hey. I bet you're just dying to know my name huh?"

Gaara closed his eyes and said, "Actually, I couldn't care less." I just laughed a little. When we arrived at the leaf academy, we saw a large crowd. I poked through the crowd and saw Sasuke, another genin, and some weird bowl-cut kid with huge eyebrows. I stepped in and said, "How's it going Sasuke? Getting into trouble?"

Sasuke looked and said, "Well we meet again Link. This punk was looking for trouble so I thought it was time he got what was coming to him."

As Sasuke left, another person stepped in. He had a white shirt and pure white eyes. He came up to me and said, "I don't know who you are, but you talk a big game for a rookie."

I glared at him and said, "You better watch your tongue there. It might cause trouble for you."

The kid smiled a little and said, "You've got spunk for a rookie. I like that. You seem like a true ninja. I'm Neji Hyuuga. What's your name?"

I smiled and said, "I'm Link. You look pretty strong to me. However, you're teammate with the eyebrows doesn't."

The eyebrow kid glared at me and said, "I'm a lot stronger than I look! My name is Rock Lee and I challenge you!" Lee rushed at me and tried to hit me with a roundhouse kick. I blocked it with my arm and pushed him back with a punch. Lee jumped into the air and commenced an axe kick. It knocked me back a little and he came at me again. I quickly formed a single handsign and knocked him back with a claw of sand.

I grabbed my sword, made a handsign with one hand and yelled, "Sand Wave!" I slashed my sword and a lash of sand struck Rock Lee. I sheathed my sword, made 7 handsigns and yelled, "Serpent, Tiger, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Serpent, Tiger! Fire style! Fireball Jutsu!" Lee crossed his arms and blocked the fireball. I looked in surprise and said, "Well. You're not half bad. We'll continue this later. I gotta go. See you later Neji. I look forward to facing you in the exams.

Neji smiled and said, "Yep. Me too. See you later Link."

I looked at Lee and said, "And you. You're pretty good. I look forward to facing you too." As I walked down the hallway I thought to myself, "So. The Chunin Exams. Sasuke, Neji, and Lee. If this is my competition, this will be fun. I am so up to it."
