Previously on Naruto….
"All three of you are from the Hidden Sand Village. You cannot enter our village without permission! So state your purpose and it better be good!" Sakura said.
"Have you been living under a rock? We're here for the Chunin Exams." Temari answered.
…
"I, Asuma Sarutobi, leader of Team Ten, recommend Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara for the chunin exams."
"I, Kurenai Yuhi, leader of Team Eight, recommend Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, and Shino Aburame for the chunin exams."
"I, Kakashi Hatake, leader of Team Seven, recommend Naruto Uzumaki, Peri Senju, and Sasuke Uchiha for the chunin exams."
…
"Let the chunk exams begin." the hokage declared.
Peri put on her long-sleeved teal shirt with her clan crest, her headband around her neck, white shorts, and her sandals. Nebki walked over to her holding her pouch in his mouth as the girl rubbed his chin and took her pouch.
(I hope I don't ruin these shoes. This is my sixth pair.) she sweatdropped.
For the past three weeks she had to replace her old shoes because they were getting ruined on missions.
"Hey hurry up or we'll be late!" Naruto yelled outside the door.
"Coming!" Peri smiled leaving her house and saw her two teammates as they headed out together. All three of them were excited to take on this next challenge in their ninja careers.
(I'm gonna beat everyone and become Hokage!) Naruto grinned thinking about Kankuro with a clenched fist
(These exams...I want to see how far I can go!) Peri thought with a sad determination.
(I want to fight that Gaara guy.) Sasuke smirked, Haku was the strongest opponent he has ever faced and he needed to get stronger.
~Time Skip~
Team Seven were walking together to the academy to register for the exams. There were so many feelings going on through all of them. When they got to the building there was a huge commotion taking place. "What's going on?" Peri asked as they moved closer to the group. As they moved closer two older genin were blocking the doors. "We already told you nobody is going to enter!" the older boy smirked.
"Please we need to go in there." a girl with dark brown hair and eyes pleaded only to be shoved backward.
"Oh please brats like you will die. This is a battle of life and death and a battle of pride. The genin who makes it out barely survives. So just do yourselves a favor and quit now." the other boy said.
Tired of the speech, Sasuke steps in front. "Nice speech now let me through. I want to go to the third floor." he smirked
Everyone looked at him confused as he explained the genjutsu that was cast when they walked in the building. After a few seconds later the genjutsu was released revealing that they were on the first floor. "Nice try kid, now let's see you try to dodge this!" the older boy yelled, aiming to kick him. The Uchiha braced himself readying a kick of his own, it was all stopped by a black haired ninja with a bowl-shaped haircut that was wearing a green jumpsuit. "Please. That is enough, now is not the time to fight." he said calmly as he placed both of their feet back on the ground.
There was tense silence as the two slowly backed away.
(That's some strength he has in arms.) Sasuke analyzed
(So he's Guy's student huh? Things are getting interesting.) the older boy smirked.
"That guy was something else for sure." Naruto said
"Yeah, he was hiding his real strength. I bet the rest are doing the same thing too." Peri said. Nebki, who was on her shoulder, was looking at something…well, someone behind her.
"Lee, what are you doing? What happened to the plan?" a brown-haired Hyuga asked, annoyed. Lee mumbled somewhat of an apology before he walked over to Peri.
"Excuse me you are Peri Senju right?" the bowl haired boy asked
"Um..yeah that's me." she said unsure where this was going
"Princess, my name is Rock Lee, please be my girlfriend. You are beautiful and I promise to protect you with my life!" he vowed. She blushed a little. Nobody has ever called her beautiful before.
"She's not interested." Sasuke growled, pulling her behind him glaring at the boy. Nebki agreed, letting out an angry growl. The little yokai summoning was very protective of his friend.
"I apologize. I wasn't aware that she was your girlfriend Sasuke." Lee said
"I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!" Peri screamed which caused a few heads to turn her to the Senju's embarrassment.
The Hyuga rolled his eyes at his teammate, eyeing Sasuke. "You're Sasuke Uchiha right? How old are you?" he asked.
"I'm not obligated to answer you." he responded
(It's always about Sasuke! Why?!) Naruto growled angrily.
(He's cute.) the dark-brown haired girl with a pink top giggled before she introduced herself as Tenten.
The commotion slowly died down as participants made their way up the stairs for registration. Peri grabbed her teammates' hands and walked up the stairs with a determined and mischievous grin on her face. With all these new challengers things were really getting fun for them.
~Time Skip~
Team Seven made their way to the empty hallway, there was only ten minutes until registration was over. "Hey you with the attitude, hold on!" Lee called jumping off the balcony, landing perfectly on the ground. "I challenge you Sasuke Uchiha!" he said.
(I'M SO PISSED OFF! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT SASUKE!) Naruto growled jealousy clenching his fist. "Forget that this guy's mine!" the blonde said
"Go ahead." Sasuke agreed.
"No thank you, I only want to fight the Uchiha. I've heard stories about the Uchiha Clan, how they rivaled the Senju Clan and how great they are. I want to see for myself." Lee explained.
"You know about my clan and you still want to fight me? You really have guts." Sasuke smirked.
"Don't do this Sasuke, we have fifthteen minutes to register." Peri argued, why did he have to be so arrogant sometimes?
"No worry, this will be over in ten!" he smirked, charging at Lee who did the same. The Senju just facepalmed in annoyance.
Why did he have to be so stubborn?
Sasuke activate his Sharingan and tried to punch, but Lee was much faster blocking it. "Too slow. There's a difference between us." Lee began before kicking him in the air.
(He's so fast!) Sasuke gasps trying to see his next move with his Sharingan. The older boy moved faster than the wind, completely overpowering him much to his teammates' horror. Before Lee could finish him off a strong voice stopped him and if it was for Peri catching him he would have been alot worse. The voice that stopped him revealed to be an angry looking turtle it was clear that Lee and the turtle knew each other.
"What are you doing Lee? You know that using the Dancing Leaf Shadow technique is forbidden to use outside of battle!" the turtle yelled.
"I'm sorry I just-"
"NO EXCUSES! Are you ready to face the consequences?" the summoning turtle demanded. There was a large puff of smoke revealing an older man that strangely looks like Rock Lee.
"Hiya Lee, is life treating you good?" the older man asked, striking a ridiculous pose on top of the turtle's shell causing the three genun to scream in horror.
"HIS EYEBROWS ARE HUGE! THEY'RE ALMOST ALIVE!" Naruto screamed
(What's wrong with them..it's so creepy!) Peri inwardly screamed
(How could I lose to someone so lame?!) Sasuke hissed in anger.
Team Seven watched in absolute horror as they watched Lee and his sensei named Guy hug each other before he introduced himself as Kakashi's greatest rival. As they left Sasuke got angrier knowing that there was somebody else so much stronger than him not to mention that Lee was just testing him like he was nothing. And his blonde teammate was helping at all. "Looks like the Uchiha Clan isn't as great as I thought it was." Naruto scoffed.
"Shut up, loser!" he yelled grabbing the Uzumaki's collar
"Enough!" Peri snapped, pulling the two boys apart. Ever since they got back from the Land of Waves they've been at each other's throats and it was starting to get exhausting. She turned to the black-haired boy wrapping a bandage around his wrist, just like she used to when they were young. "Taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat. It's raw strength. It's different from ninjutsu and genjutsu, which is your specialty. It doesn't mean you're weak, it just means you have something to work on." Peri explained. While she was talking her sleeves rolled up a little and Sasuke quietly noticed the scars and bruises all over Senju's arms and hands.
What really startled him was the several scars that cover the older ones. But he didn't say anything.
"It looks like things are about to get interesting." Sasuke smirked, getting up as the three of them made their way to registration.
~Time Skip~
"Good you're all here." Kakashi said to his students.
"Sensei, why are you here?" Peri asked slightly tilting her head in confusion
"Well, I wanted to see if you all would make it here. Only teams with three or four members can participate in the exams. And now you're all here so can officially register." he explain
The three genin beamed with confidence. If they could defeat Zabuza, Haku, and save the Land of Waves they can pass these exams.
"Naruto Uzumaki. Peri Senju. Sasuke Uchiha! Are you ready?" Kakashi asked
"Yes sir!" the trio declared before walking into the other room.
They could do this.
Fun fact: Rock Lee has a small crush on Peri which is why he challenged Sasuke.
