A New Team Arises

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto TT

Chapter 6: The exam's completion…and other stuff…

Hi!

Aye, so welcome back to the Chuunin exams, Satsu and Ino are advancing to the finals, Mao is dead, Kankuro is eliminated, so now, let's move on! We begin with a calmed down, and yawning Ino, and a yawning Satsu.

"Ah…I'm spent."

"Yea, I forgot how much dying breath took out of me. Up for a little shut-eye Ino?"

"Definitely, come on, let's go take a nap." Ino and Satsu left the crowd, heading for the dormitories.

"So Naki-Kun, how did Satsu do that?"

"My team is made up of the people with the three most dangerous powers that exist. That was Satsu's."

"W-What's yours?"

"With one of my techniques, I can't feel pain Hinata-chan."

"W-Whoa, really? What's Sendo's?"

"She's known as the Chakra Vampire."

Round 3… Sendo Uchitoru vs. Shino Aburame

"Objections?"

"Well..."

"Um..."

"Begin!"

"Before we begin, Sendo-chan, I must say I take no enjoyment in this."

"Nor do I Shino-kun." Almost as a sucker punch, right after that comment Shino's bugs began to swarm Sendo.

'Well, you've given me no choice Shino-Kun.' Sendo's face changed, her teeth grew, and her eyes went red.

"Vampiric-strike jutsu!" She bit right into Shino's neck.

"W-What's h-happening t-to m-me?"

"I'm sucking the chakra from your body, please forgive me for this Shino-K…ack!"

Sendo went limp, Shino's elbow in her stomach. Saikoro checked.

"I hereby declare Shino Aburame the winner!"

"I'll take her to medical." Shino picked up Sendo's unconscious form, and walked to the med-room." The next few rounds were ninja that I don't even need to mention, because no main characters were involved, this gave our friends time to catch up and talk.

"So Sakura, why is it that all you teams banded together?"

"Well Gaara, it was actually Satsu's idea. He thought that if we worked as a team, it'd be easier, and it was."

"Seems to be quite the planner."

"Hey, I heard that you could get here in like, an hour, why were you still out on day 2?"

"I've become more merciful, I don't just kill anymore, at least not since the sealing, now Shukaku doesn't come out when I sleep, I control it, not the other way around. By the way, has anyone told you?"

"Told me what?"

"My squad's been transferred to your village."

"Permanently?"

"Yes, to strengthen the village relations."

Really? That's great! Err…" She blushed slightly.

"It's alright, I know what you mean. It'll be good to have a few new folks in the village to hang out with right?"

"Um, yea."

"Oh, look who's up."

Round 7…Nakigara Ryuu vs. Naruto Uzamaki

"Objections?"

"No."

"Nope."

"Begin!"

"Oh I've been waiting for this. Pain Breaker Jutsu!" It was Nakigara's eye's turn to go red. Naruto attacked him with all he had, but Nakigara just stood and laughed. He grabbed the back of Naruto's head and began to bang it into the floor until both his eyes had gone black, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. Then he held Naruto up by the scruff of his neck.

"I want you to apologize to Hinata, for using her to win a bet."

"I-I'm sorry Hinata, that was uncalled for."

"Not as uncalled for as this!" Nakigara smashed Naruto into the sidewall, for an effective K.O.

"Nakigara Ryuu advances to the finals!" Hinata hugged Nakigara.

"Good-job Naki-Kun! Oh, um, t-thank you…"

"Hinata, think nothing of it, I don't let people I love get treated that way."

Round 8… Rock Lee vs. Hinata Hyuuga

"Give em' hell Hinata."

Objections?

"N-No."

"None here."

"Begin!"

"Byackugan!" (I finally got it!)

"Leaf Whirlwind!" Hinata was unfortunately swept off her feet by Lee's attack, sent spiraling into the wall.

"L-Lucky shot! W-Won't happen again." Hinata sprung to her feet, attacking Lee to no end. But, as we all know, Lee was a much quicker fighter. He let out with a hurricane kick, right to the head, and Hinata, unfortunately, was down.

"Rock Lee is the winner!"

"Hinata!" Nakigara quickly followed the stretcher to the med-room.

(Med-Room)

"Ah Nakigara, I see Hinata's lost her battle."

"Yeah, Sendo awake yet?"

"No, I'm a little worried, I think I hit her too hard…"

"Nah, she's okay, Sendo just takes awhile to get back to her feet."

"Shouldn't you be waiting for your fight?"

"I already won mine, in fact, I'm why Naruto's in here."

"Oh. Damn, you messed him up good."

(Dormitories)

Well, let's check in on Ino and Satsu, who were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms.

Yawn

"Mm…Wakey, Wakey Satsu-kun."

"Meh…5 more minutes mommy…"

"I'm not your mommy, I'm your girlfriend."
"Well then, five more minutes Ino-chan…"

"Oh, come on, don't you feel like getting up?"

"No…" He smirked at her.

"…and I ain't letting you go either." Ino looked down to notice, to her surprise, that Satsu had locked her arms into his grip, though she squirmed and struggled, she was locked in pretty good.

"LET GO! SATSU KURUSHIMI! LEMME G…" Satsu kissed her, right on the lips, and held on until they almost passed out from lack of air.

"W-What was that about?"

"Well, frankly, it's the only way to shut you up."

"Come on lemme go!"

"Not gonna happen beautiful." Ino of course proceeded to use the ultimate weapon for getting what you want, Puppy dog eyes!

"No! Not the eyes! Adorable little…I can't take it! It's too cute!" With a sigh, Satsu released his grip on Ino.

"Thanks Satsu-kun, come on let's go see some more fights!"

"I don't wanna."

"Come on."

"No."

"Err, whatever. Hey Satsu?"

"What?"

"Why did Saikoro say your jutsu was reserved for emergencies?"

"Well I was fighting a ninja once, and using the same tactics as today, I thought he was just weak but…I was wrong, he was mortally wounded, when my jutsu activated, I found out there was a long wound slashed right down my back. Didn't you notice the scar?" Satsu removed his shirt, and sure enough, a long scar ran down his back.

"Just promise me that you won't use that too much alright?"

"I promise." With that, Satsu went back to bed and Ino headed to the small ice cooler. She filled a glass with ice and went over to Satsu, tossing under the blanket.

"CCCCCOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD! W-What was that for Ino-chan?"

"I told you I was going to get you back for the forest. Now do you feel like watching some fig…EEEEKKKK!" Satsu had pulled a handful of ice from the bed and dropped it down the back of Ino's shirt.

"I'm going back to sleep." Satsu went back to the bed, brushing off some ice before going to sleep."

(Back in the fighting…room…place…)

"Hey Ino. Where's Satsu?"

"Still sleeping, lazy bum. So what'd I miss?"

"Sendo and Hinata both lost their fights. Nakigara and Shino won theirs, and Rock Lee won his. Ino are you okay, you look a little cold."

"You have no idea." Ino looked up.

"Uh-oh."

"What?"

"Look at the fight board. It's been nice knowin ya."

Round 10 Sakura Haruno vs. Gaara

"Objections?"

"Nope."

"None here."

"Begin!"

"Um, go easy on me okay?"

"Sorry, I fight to win." A geyser of sand ripped from the ground and launched Sakura through the air. Sakura got to her feet and began to attack Gaara. Of course with the sand wall, and the fact that sand was holding her in place, Gaara managed to knock her out with a sand blast.

"Gaara is the winner! Saikoro, take this one to medical, she's hurt pretty bad." At this comment Gaara actually looked a bit sad, he followed the stretcher to medical.

(In Medical)

"N-Naki?"

"Shino?"

"Good, you're awake Sendo-chan, are you feeling alright?"

"Yea, but my stomach hurts."

"Sorry about that."

"Good to see you up too Hinata."

"How long was I out Naki?"

"About an hour." Hinata looked a bit distressed.

"What's the matter?"

"If you make Chuunin, I won't see you very often, you'll always be on missions…"

"Hey, if I make it, I promise it won't affect the amount of time we spend together."

"A-Alright."

(Whee! Back in fighting room! This'll be say an hour later, a few main fights have ended, Shikamaru fought Chouji, Shikamaru won, and Kiba fought Temari, Temari won.)

"So what you been up to Shikamaru?"

"Just missions and standard procedure Temari, eh, how troublesome. So your squad has been transferred to Konoha?"

"Yea, Baki says it's to strengthen relations between Konoha and Suna. Incredible, it's permanent. Then again I'm sure that we'll all enjoy it." As Temari and Shikamaru were speaking, a short rain ninja was attempting to flirt with Ino, in a…vulgar manner.

"Hey are you from Venus?"

"No, why?"

"Cause your ass is out of this world baby."

CRACK, CRACK the ninja turned around and looked up to the eyes of a very pissed off Satsu, cracking his knuckles.

"So you wanna see some stars huh?" He then proceeded to throw him across the room, lightly cracking the concrete wall on the other side. Ino smirked at him.

"Overreacting a bit are we?"

"Nope, some pick-up lines should not go unpunished."

"Thanks anyway lazy."

"Lazy?"

"Well you wouldn't come with me. Therefore, you're lazy." Satsu stuck his tongue out at Ino.

"Save it for romantic moments lover-boy."

"Oh hardy, har, har."

(Back in medical…gee I'm just jumping back and forth today.)

"Ah…wha…Gaara? Wuh happened?"

"Sorry, I guess I went a bit far. You've been out for an hour."

"Oh…that's alright, I'm okay aren't I? Anyways…why'd you stay by my bed and wait for me to wake up." Gaara turned redder than his hair.

"Well…I…um…the thing is…um, I just felt like I needed to, considering it was my fault you were in here…um…so what've you been up to?" (Aw, little Gaara has a crush)

"Oh, the usual stuff, missions, putting up with my hyperactive teammate and depressing teammate. Not to mention my, always, late sensei. You?"

"Other than the…vivid…personality description, pretty much the same." Saikoro's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"All finalists report to the combat room!"

"Well, that's my cue."

"Here, I can walk fine, I want to see."

"You gonna cheer me on?"

"Sounds good."

(FINALS TIME! (Good thing too, this is getting repetitive.) Okay, ya know what? For this, I'm only having the main character fights.)

First Round! Satsu Kurushimi vs. (Oh the irony) Yamanaka Ino. Now seeing this Satsu's face became a little distorted.

"Oh come on!"

"Objections?"

"Does it even matter?"

"No."

"Then why ask?"

"Just forget it, begin!"

"Well Ino, I can't say I'm going to enjoy this exam any more." Ino attempted a punch to Satsu's stomach, being easily blocked.

"Why's that Satsu-kun?"

"Because I had to beat up my girlfriend to get here!" Satsu delivered a punch to Ino's stomach, winding her for a second.

"Ino, please forgive me for this." Satsu delivered a roundhouse to Ino's side, flipped the foot and side-kicked her in the gut, and the finisher…flipping backward and kicking right to Ino's chin, knocking sending her flipping into the wall and knocking her out.

"Satsu Kurushimi advances to semi-finals!"

"Sensei would you call me for my next match, I need to keep an eye on Ino."

"Go ahead Satsu, I'll let you know."

Round Two! Nakigara Ryuu vs. Shino Aburame. Now it was Sendo's turn to warp her face.

"Oh! Who do I root for!"

"Just go." The kikai began to swarm Nakigara's feet, probably would've continued going up had he not escaped from their grip quickly. Nakigara managed to deliver a few swift kicks to Shino's side, but despite his best efforts, Shino was to strong. As Nakigara kicked and punched Shino's bugs swarmed him, rendering him immobile.

"As Shino's opponent can no longer move, Shino Aburame advances to the semi-finals!"

As the bugs left Nakigara got up and shook Shino's hand.

"I'll get ya next time."

Round 3 (there will be 6 Cause I'm giving round 4 to Gaara, don't know how Temari fights. :P) Shikamaru Nara vs. Rock Lee

"Begin!"

"Leaf Hurricane!" The set of kicks pounded Shikamaru.

"Kage Bushnin Jutsu!" Shikamaru proceeded to begin the, stop hitting yourself game. Sadly, Rock Lee would prevail once more with…

"Leaf Whirlwind!" This of course, sent Shikamaru spiraling into the wall, bashing his skull and Knocking Him Out.

"Rock Lee advances!"

Round 4 Gaara vs. Shino Aburame. At this point, Ino and Satsu had returned, Ino seemed a bit weak, but otherwise alright.

"Begin!" Shino began the battle by, similar to his fight with Zaku, sending an army of bugs to one side of Gaara, who used sand to crush them all. Shino realized he was outmatched and attempted a head-on attack, being stopped by the sand coffin.

"…I concede."

"Gaara is the winner, and advances to the finals!"

Round 5 Satsu Kurushimi vs. Rock Lee

"Go Satsu-Kun!"

"Begin."

"My youthful spirit shall…" Rock Lee was silenced as Satsu placed his hand on Lee's head. A blue aura surrounded them. Lee found himself on a dark dismal plane, a short stone trail separating him and Satsu.

"What is this?"

"You've been pulled into the plane of my mind. There's no way out, at least not until I say. I have infinite power here." Rock Lee took his stance.

"I will still defeat you!" Now back in the room it seemed that nothing was happening.

"Okay Sendo, I'll bite, What's going on?"

"Well Sakura, Satsu just pulled Lee into his mind, it won't be long before…" Lee crumpled and Satsu took a bow.

"…that happens."

"Satsu Kurushimi is the winner!"

Final Round! Gaara vs. Satsu

"This'll be good."

"Yea, two freaks fighting, it's a circus and a fight in one."

"Bet you wouldn't say that to their faces."

"Are you stupid? They'd kill me."

"Begin!"

"So it comes to this."

"May the best man win."

"Let's make this more interesting, only use your jutsu when your energy is almost depleted."

"Sounds just fine to me." Sasuke ripped forward with a punch, though it was blocked by Gaara, a second hook made contact with his jaw. Now it was Gaara's turn to lash out, he sent forward with a barrage of punches and kicks, this fight was escalating quickly, with Satsu and Gaara both landing a large amount of hits. They both seemed out of energy after about ten minutes.

"Go Gaara!" Yelled Sakura.

"Go Satsu-Kun!" Yelled Ino.

"Okay that's it!" Satsu let loose with the same combo he used on Ino. Unfortunately, even after sailing through the air, Gaara got up and unleashed a combo of his own.

"Okay Satsu, it's time for anything goes."

"I'm fine with that."

"Sand Coffin!"

fsssss Satsu was surrounded by the sand.

"You've proven to be a worthy opponent Satsu, I won't kill you." Gaara mashed his hand, applying pressure enough to knock Satsu out, and don't get me wrong, there was blood flying, everyone getting a little bit on them, but when Kakashi checked.

"He's alive, barely. Get him to med, pronto!" Ino of course, chased the stretcher like crazy.

"Right then, the moment you've been waiting for! We've reviewed your scores and deemed…that none of you pass." Insert 56 jaws dropping here.

"The two highest scores belong to Satsu and Gaara. Gaara, you've no regard for other's life, it'll get your team killed, while Satsu has no regard for his own, without a leader, a team is doomed."

Woo! Big chapter. I will make Satsu un-comatose and hook up Sakura/Gaara next chapter:)
