Okay, so I really appreciate the follow and favorites. Thank you JayAttano and theDemonRaksh. Tbh you two are my inspirations to keep writing this as much as I have. If you two have any concerns over pacing or anything, then please please let me know. I only wanna make better chapters for you two and other people to enjoy. Also, if some of the chapter sucks it's cause I was drunk while I wrote it. Also it's 1:42 am when I decided to upload this. No sleep, don't need it.

Chapter 5: Chunnin Exams!
'Mmm soft.' That's the first thing I think of as I wake up. I drift back to sleep to preserve my comfortable warmth. Anko wakes me up with a content sigh and snuggles closer. I quickly fall asleep again. What feels like three hours later, I feel Anko jerk and move herself, but I'm sill trying to sleep.
"Kin, wake up. Did anything happen with us last night?"
"Mm… no. Sleep."
She just sighs and lays back down. I'm just happy to get my comfort back and finally go to sleep for a while longer.
O=O=O
An hour later (11:55 am)
"Okay, kid. I'm getting up." She says as she removes herself from the bed.
"Mm'kay." I say as I curl up into a ball. Then it hits me. I was sleeping in a bed with a woman. One that I'm very attracted to. Now, I may be 33 mentally, but I had to spend the past 6-7 years in this body. Plus, I'm a good noodle. So, I've never done this type of stuff before. The blush is real.
With me realizing this, I can't sleep now, so I get up. I hear the shower running as Anko is taking one. I just sit down on the couch in her living room and chill until she gets done.
I hear the shower turn off and the door opens nearly immediately. I cover my eyes because she probably forgot that I was here. Instead, she just calls for me.
"Hey, Kin. Can you grab me a towel in the laundry room? I forgot to grab one."
"Sure." I find the laundry room and get her a towel. I walk to the bathroom and hand her the towel. As she grabs it, she grabs me and pulls me into the bathroom. She forces me against the wall and gets real close. I can't hide the blush as she leans real close to my ear.
"Nobody finds out about this, kid. You understand?" She looks very menacing, so I nod my head, not trusting my voice.
"Good. Now go home. I'll talk to you later." She gave me a deep kiss and forced me out of the bathroom.
I'm too dumbfounded to do anything but walk to my new house. Idek how this happened. I'm not complaining though. I'll talk to her later. For now, I have to go meet the team at 5. Kakashi said something about a meeting. So, I gotta go home and get ready.
O=O=O
30 minutes later
I finished taking a shower and getting my new clothes on. I take my new sword and put it into a storage scroll. I need to learn how to use this sword. Like super quickly. I'm limited with only my hands. Plus, I'd look a lot cooler if I could use the sword.
I'll need to find a teacher and learn how to use this sword properly. But that can wait as I need to go to the meeting spot.
I make it there in about two minutes. "Right on time guys. Haha." I, then, notice that Kakashi is already here. My expression drops. I can't believe that I was later than him. But, given that he's here on time, it must be important. I get serious. "What do we have to do, Kakashi?"
He eye-smiles and hands us all some kind of paper. I read it and it's a pass into the chunnin exams. "These will happen in a week. We're taking a break from mission, so you guys can train up for it. If you don't wanna do it, then you don't have to. It's a good way to get some experience though. So, I recommend it. Anyways, that's all for today. I'll see you guys at the chunnin exams. It starts at 12 am on that day. See you then." He waves and shushins away.
"Hmph. A week of nothing but training? Sounds like fun." Sasuke puts his hand in his pockets and walks off. Before he does though, I make a satisfying remark.
"That's the most you've said in a while, Sasuke. Are you running a fever?" He scoffs and doesn't acknowledge it further.
"Welp I tried. Hey, Naruto. Do you wanna spar later on this week? I've been wanting to try some stuff."
"Yeah, sure, Kin. I'm pumped to spar with you. I'm a lot stronger than last time." Naruto says as he gives his trademark smile and thumbs up.
"Looking forward to it. Alright, I'll catch you later Naruto." I say as I jump to the roof and start hopping around. I decide to go to the weapon shop.
O=O=O
I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I want to find something to teach me kenjutsu. So, I walk up to the counter of the store, except there's no one there. I ring the bell and wait. And wait. And wait. I ring the bell again. And again. And again. No one shows up. Hmm. Strange. I walk out, and, as I'm walking out, I run into an old man.
"Oh, sorry, old man. There's no one in there. I waited around for a while and yeah." I say to him as he looks at me.
"Oh, it's fine, young man. I was supposed to train a young lady in weapons. She stays at this weapon shop, but I can't help it if she's not here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to train her at another time. First meetings are always the worst." He sighs and starts walking off.
"Hey, old man. Do you do kenjutsu training?" I asked, hoping this is my golden opportunity.
"Indeed, I do, young man." He said as he turned towards me.
"Can you teach me please? I need to get stronger." I say to him on my knees begging.
"Hmm. I don't see why I couldn't. I can spare a few hours to teach you some stuff." He says and leads the way to a training ground.
He hands me a training blade and teaches me several katas. I have a clone to copy them all down. He decides to teach me one last move. A single strike that is strong.
"This move will be difficult to master, but it will be deadly if you can figure it out. I wish you luck, young one." He says as he walks away. I assume since he taught me everything about it. Since, it's about to be an hour and a half.
Anyways, I spent several hours training to get the moves down. I'll spend tomorrow making sure I get them mastered with clones the rest of the week.
I'm still struggling with the big move. I don't know if I'll be able to figure it out, but I think I'm close to figuring it out. I decide to take a break from Kenjutsu for now. And train my jutsu. I create a hundred fist-sized balls of water. I practiced turning them from steam to ice. I did this for 10 minutes. I gathered them all together and launched them away from the village. I then did my conditioning training.
I finish this in a few hours, and it's late at night. Very late. I go home and just pass out.
O=O=O
The next day
I wake up early. I'm dead tired. I shouldn't be awake by now, but I can't go back to sleep. I head to the training ground and get ready to train. I make several hundred clones and spent a few hours practicing the normal katas. I dispel them, and the information rushes in. I pick up the sword. I run through the katas, and I've gotten them down pretty well. I still need a little more practice, but I think I can take a break from it for now.
O=O=O
A few days pass cause I don't wanna bore you with needless interactions as he spends the next few days solely training.
I grab the Executioner's blade and take a few practice swings. This feels good. I practice the katas and they're a lot better than when I tried it the first day I trained solo. I still haven't been able to get the skill yet. I'll spend tomorrow practicing it. I'll get it down to a level I need to be able to use it effectively even if I have to practice all night. I look at the sky and realize it's only noon.
"Hmm. No time like the present." I say as I jump up and make some more clones. I get ready and start practicing it. It feels like I'm doing right, but I feel like I'm missing something. Then it hits me. "I'm so stupid."
I grab the Executioner's Blade and hold it to my side. I concentrate my chakra into my hands. I slash upwards diagonally, and a wave of energy follows the slash and cuts down a line of trees and disperses.
"Woah. That felt good. I'm not even close to being done with it though. Nowhere near." I prepare to continue training. I'm able to get it a bit bigger before I decide to stop for the day. I wanna conserve my energy for the chunnin exams tomorrow.
O=O=O
As I'm walking through town, I hear Naruto yelling at people. So, I head over there. I see a guy holding onto a kid. He's wearing makeup which is kind of wacky, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Then, I see this blond chick. She's pretty damn cute if I say so myself. But she looks about my age.
"Kankuro just put the kid down already." She's saying looking entirely disinterested.
"No, Temari. The brat needs to learn his lesson. He needs to respect his elders." Kankuro says as he's grinning.
"Let him go!" Naruto says. He's getting angry. This isn't good. I need to step in.
I shushin beside kankuro and grab his arm. "Hey now, friend. Let's calm down and talk it out okay?" He just looks surprised. That quickly turns to anger though.
"Get off of me, bastard." He throws a punch at me, which I catch with my other hand.
"I think it's best for you to calm down." I say as I narrow my eyes.
Temari looks a little worried and says, "Yeah, Kankuro. Let's go before he shows up."
"Do you two wanna die?"
"No one is dying. Not on my watch." I look at him. He's interesting. Kanji for love on his forehead, blood red hair, and raccoon eyes.
Temari and Kankuro both look scared. Temari tried to salvage it. "No, we don't Gaara. We were just leaving."
"Shut up before I kill you." Gaara's eyes hold true killing intent. He's different. I shushin towards him and go to put my hand on his shoulder, but some sand stops me.
"I see. That's interesting. Anyways, calm down friend. We don't have to fight. You guys are here for the chunnin exams, right? We can all be friends until the exam starts." I say as I smile and try to calm everyone down.
Gaara just eyes. "Shut up or I'll kill you. Temari, Kankuro. Let's go."
He leaves via shushin. They both leave as well.
"What a bunch of rowdy customers. Anyways, Naruto you want to spar, right now?" I ask him, getting excited.
He smiles. "I've been waiting for you to ask me."
O=O=O
We arrive at training ground 7. We stand 10 feet away from each other. We look into each other's eyes and get ready.
"Kin. I'm not holding back. Come at me with all that you have."
"Hmm. I'll see if it'll come to that." I say as I get ready.
He makes a clone and rushes towards me. The clone jumps and spring boards off of him towards me. I dodge the clone and knee it in the stomach. I doin and throw a straight kick to Naruto. He blocks and gets pushed back. I run in and jump-kick his guard. I land and sweep his legs. As he's falling, I grab his leg and pull him to me. I drive my fist into his face and slam it into the ground. He's out cold.
"Fuck. I should've held back more. Hey! Naruto! Wake up!" I say as I splash some water on him. He jumps up and looks around.
"What happened?"
"Well…. I knocked your ass out. In four hits. Sorry." I say, hoping it doesn't break his spirit. I want him to achieve his goal.
"Damn. I didn't think you'd have gotten this strong after that 2 years. I need to get even stronger. I'll be strong enough to be as strong as you." He says. He runs off. I'll give him some space.
I sigh. What else am I gonna do? I actually haven't talked to anko in forever. I head to the dango shop and order some food to go with three bottles of sake.
I take them to Anko's house. I knock on the door, and there's no answer. I knock again but louder. The door opens, and it's not Anko who answers it. A red-eyed woman answers it. She looks pretty beautiful, but I have to say that Anko is way prettier.
I realize I haven't said anything yet. "Oh uh… I came by to bring Anko some food and stuff. I guess I came to the wrong house though. Sorry, ma'am." I turn to leave.
"Wait. You got the right place. She's just a little preoccupied." She opens the door and lets me in. I enter and thank her.
She leads me to the bathroom where Anko is currently looking rather miserable.
"Ah damn. You drank a little too much, didn't you? What did I tell you about that? You should've gotten me." This is one of the times where I wish I could heal people or at least help ease some pain.
"Shut up, Kin." She says as she's hugging the toilet. The red-eyed chick looked very confused.
"Ah, how could I forget? I'm Kin. I've known Anko for a few years. About 5 years. It's nice to meet you." I say as I grab a glass and fill it with water and hand it to Anko.
"I'm Kurenai. Nice to meet you. I've been Anko's friend since the academy." She said as she smiled.
I smile back. 'That's a long time.' Anyways, I show Anko the food that I have.
"Hey, Anko. I brought you some food. I would've got some medicine, if I realized that you were hungover as fuck." I say almost as a parent talking to a kid that leaves the water facet on.
"I need medicine. Please get some." She says as she throws up in the bowl again.
"Welp. I'll be back, Kurenai and Anko. See you in a little bit." I head out of the house and rush to the nearest store. I get some stuff for nausea, headaches, and just general illness. I bring it back to her house and give it to her.
O=O=O
About 30 minutes later, she's doing better. We all start chatting around, then Kurenai asks the question.
"So, how do you two know each other? Are you guys a thing or not?" She looks genuinely curious, but I remember what Anko had said to me before. So, I look towards her.
She laughs, "Hahaha. Me with a guy like him? You know that isn't my style, Kurenai. I know him from some missions we run together. We occasionally meet at the bar. He's an acquaintance, nothing more."
I decide to chime in, "Yeah, we're just acquaintances. We're just not compatible like that. Y'know?" Kurenai nodd and smiles.
"Well, I don't see what so bad about you. Since Anko doesn't want you, I think I know some people that are interested in guys like you, if you're looking for that kind of thing." Kurenai says, genuinely trying to help or maybe set herself up with me idk. Don't wanna be presumptuous though.
"Oh no. Not right now. I have a lot of stuff going on. It's just not a good time for me. A relationship is the last thing I'd want right now." I say to her trying to get off of this topic. Anko flashes an emotion, but I can't tell what it was. "Anyways, I brought food, but, if you guys wanna go eat somewhere, then we can. I don't have anything to do at the moment anyways."
They exchange glances and we head towards the BBQ place in town.
O=O=O
Nothing of importance happened there. We just had some small talk while we ate and that about ended the night. We parted ways from Kurenai as she went to go wherever she went. We finally arrived back to Anko's house.
Once we enter the door, She turns around and pulls me into a kiss. I return the favor not quite as shocked now. I break it off and look at her.
"Anko, I'm pretty nervous about this, but do you want to be my girlfriend? Idk I like you a lot. I just wanna be around you all the time. Plus, you're totally my type."
She just looks at me. "Idiot." That's all she says and goes to her bedroom.
'Well damn. Fucked that up, didn't I?' I don't really know what to do. Should I stay or should I go?(Darlin' you got to let me know) I don't know. As I'm mulling this over in my head, she pokes her head out of the room.
"Kin. Hurry your ass up. I'm tired and want my pillow."
She then goes back in there, and I feel ecstatic. I calm myself down and head in there. She's dressed in just her undergarments. I gulp. I strip down to my boxers and get in the bed. She snuggles up to me and thoroughly wraps herself around me. I slept well that night.
O=O=O
(Note: Wholesomeness only. Wholesome vibe check.)
I wake up, and Anko is very much keeping me warm. I snuggle a little closer to her. I go back to sleep.
O=O=O
It's now 10:30.
I wake up and accidentally wake Anko up too. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you up." She just hums and turns over and snuggles close to me. This is not good. I need to find a way out of here before a pretty embarrassing thing happ… shit.
"Mmm, calm down there, hunk." She says, half asleep. I start blushing and readjust myself. She just puts herself back into the same position though.
"... you're doing this on purpose." I say with a little bit of a pout. She laughs a little and then turns back towards me. "Yes, yes I was. What are you gonna do about it?" She says as her voice gets a bit sultry. I was gonna reply, but I forgot. About the exams. They are today. The exams are today. Fuck.
"Shit. I'd definitely retort that, but I forgot that the chunnin exams were today. I need to go there soon." As I say that, she puts her hands on her face. "Fuckkkk. I forgot about them too. Alright, Kin. I gotta get ready. You do too." She says as she ushers me out of bed. As she reaches the door though, she looks back at me and smiles. She proceeds to take very exaggerated hip movements as she heads towards the bathroom.
"Damn it. This isn't fair." I take a kunai and prick my finger. That helps with the swelling so to speak. I get dressed and shout, "Alright, I'm headed out first. Don't be late." I grab my sword scroll and head towards the exam area.
O=O=O
I made it to the area. Sasuke and Naruto were sitting there waiting on me.
"About time, dope. I was getting tired of waiting." Sasuke says in his usual manner.
"Sorry about that guys. And it's okay, Sasuke. You don't have to be a tsundere." I say as I laugh. A lot.
He just grunts and starts heading inside. Naruto and I follow him there.
"Hey, Kin. What took you so long? You're usually early." Naruto asks me.
"Ah, I was asleep and forgot about it. I remembered though, so it's all good." Naruto nods and smiles.
We make it to the "room." It's not the room. A genjutsu is covering the real number. Sasuke goes to speak up, but I cover his mouth with my hand. "You, upstairs now. Be quiet."
He really didn't like that, but he didn't go against it. We made it up the stairs, and Kakashi poofs in. "Yo, team. I'm glad you all are here. I said it was voluntary, but the truth is that everyone needed to be here for you guys to enter. Glad you all showed up. Anyways, do well there and show them why our team is the best." He says and eye-smiles at us. He poofs away, and we head inside. I put a henge on before that to make myself look like my younger self.
I open the door softly as Naruto bursts through the other one. Everyone in the room stops and stares at us and the rest of the Konoha 9.
Shikamaru walks towards us, "That was quite the entrance. Doesn't seem like they're fond of us either. Glad you guys could make it."
Kiba walks up with his arms behind his head, "Well, it's not like you guys would be much help anyways."
"More help than you would be, milk bone." I say as I look at him nonchalantly. He didn't like that at all. Hahaha. But, before he could do anything besides growling. A silver-haired man approached our group. "Well well well. A bunch of rookies, huh? Don't take these exams lightly. I've tried to pass them 5 times and have failed each time, but you shouldn't worry. I'll be your veteran help. My name is Kabuto, and I have these ninja info cards. Tell me a name and I could look it up for you. Also, you shouldn't worry about the sound guys too much. They're a tiny village that just recently started. Anyways, what do you want to know?" He asked, looking at each of us. Sasuke was the first to speak up.
He looks at me and smirks, "I want information on three ninja. The first being Gaara of the sand. The second being Kin Kaze, and the last being myself, Sasuke Uchiha." I look at him. You asshole. Well, you'll see how strong I am, then. I suppose so anyways.
"Okay Gaara. Woah, his record is insane. It says here that he hasn't been hurt on a single mission. He's done B-ranks too. Okay, next up is Kin Kaze. Not a lot of info on him. His stats are strange given his missions. I've never had a card with unknown info before. But it says here that he's a water jutsu user. That's about it. Besides the one C-rank he's done. Not very impressive. Sasuke Uchiha. Here is your card. Also one C-rank. Chunin-level in just about every category. Impressive." He says as he pushes up his glasses. All of a sudden, the sound guy with the arm piece rushed over and tried to hit him. Kabuto blocks it and smirks, but he then vomits all of a sudden. The sound guy chuckles.
A door bursts open and out walks a very intimidating man. "Alright, maggots. Shut up and listen. I'm the proctor of exam 1 of the Chunin exams. If anyone else acts up, then they will be thrown out. Now, go inside and prepare for the written exam.
O=O=O
We all enter the exam room and sit down. They hand out the tests, and the proctor, Ibiki as he announced himself, tells us about a 10th and final question. It'll be given out at the 5 minute mark. If we all get ten points total, then we pass. If one person misses all the questions, the entire team is failed. If you are caught cheating three times, then your team is failed.
"Begin."
People flip over the tests and get ready. I see several people zooming through the test, but the majority doesn't know what's going on. I activate my sharingan to copy their movements. I was gonna get at least 5 of the answers. I'm sure Sasuke will do the same thing. Naruto can get one of these I'm sure. He's the ultimate bullshitter.
O=O=O
"The five minute mark has been reached. A lot of teams have been whittled down. Now the final answer. Before you decide to take it, you have to know the consequences for failure. If you fail this question, you and your team won't be able to take the Chunin exams ever. Anywhere. All who want to leave raise your hands. Instantly, multiple hands go up and their teams leave. Naruto starts to raise his hand, but he slams it down. "You can't scare me. I'm gonna pass this question, and there's not a damn thing that can stop me. Believe it!"
Ibiki looked around and said, "Anyone else want to leave before your fate is sealed?" He saw that no one was moving. Naruto's little outburst gave them all confidence again. He did not look happy about that fact, but, nonetheless, he says, "You all pass. Congratulations, you may now head to the second exam when your proc…" He was cut off by a window breaking and a banner saying Anko Mitarashi, the sexiest kunoichi in Konoha. I have to say that I agree.
"Alright, brats. I'm your second exam proctor. Everyone go to training ground 13 ASAP. If you're late, you're out of the exams. Also, you've lost some of your touch Ibiki. There's still 20 teams left. Oh well, I'll kick some out for you." She smiles evilly. Ibiki coughs, "Anko. You're early." She smiles sheepishly, "Haha, my bad. Anyways, your time starts now." She jumps out of the window and starts heading to training ground 13.
O=O=O
It looks like everyone, but three teams were able to make it on time. I didn't even have to rush. But that's neither here nor there. Anko explains the rules of the exam to us. "Okay, brats. There's two scrolls. Your team will be given one, and you'll have to find the other. Got that?! Also, you have to sign this waiver just in case you die in there." She says smirking. Her eyes narrow a tad bit, and she throws a kunai. It grazes my check and lands in front of some other person. She walks up to me and licks the graze. "Got that, kid?" She says as she walks back up to the top. I can't say I didn't enjoy that, but she seems off. Something is afoot. I'll figure it out eventually.
All the teams sign the waivers and get a scroll. We got the heaven scroll. So, we need the earth one. Anko tells us to start, and we head off. I'm ready to be done with this exam already. I find the nearest chakra signature and speed towards it. It's the team from the land of grass.
"Ah what the hell?! How did they get to us first?" The first guy says. The other two get ready and throw shuriken at us. I block the ones sent at me and jump into the second one's guard. His eyes widen in surprise before I kick him up vertically. He's hanging in the air, as I grab him and yank him towards me. I deliver five quick hits traveling up his body, two in the stomach, one in the chest, and two in the face. He's out cold. I hope I didn't kill him as I see blood dripping from his body. The first one gets scared, and Sasuke sneaks up behind him and sleeps him. The last one though. Something is wrong about him. He starts laughing and extends a long tongue.
"Well, well. This is quite the… surprise. Show me what you kids can do." I run up and do two roundhouse kicks as I jump up. The second one catches him and launches him into the tree. Sasuke wraps him with wire and uses Dragon Flame jutsu(I think that's the name). He roasts the man alive. It's pretty gross. The ninja just starts laughing and sheds his skin like a snake, revealing a middle-aged man.
"Well, that was disgusting. But I know you. You're Orochimaru, aren't you? One of the sannin." I say as I narrow my eyes.
"How perceptive. I'm here to test you three. The last Uchiha, the Jinchuuriki of the 9 tails, and the mysterious stranger. I think I've gotten my feel though, so I'll be going now. I have a playdate with my former apprentice." He jumps and starts heading towards a direction. I noticed that his team had a heaven scroll. Useless. I hold onto it anyways, and I think I should contact Hiruzen about this. This is not good. As I turn around, I hear Sasuke yell out. I see Orochimaru on his neck biting him. He slithers away as I toss a kunai at his head.
"Hey, you two. I need to contact Sarutobi about this. Continue on looking for people, but you shouldn't engage. Naruto, make sure Sasuke is alright." I get a piece of paper and write what I need to tell him down. I cover it in a ball of water and shoot towards the Hokage tower. It should get there within a minute.
We locate a chakra signature and head towards it. It feels familiar, and we know why as we arrive there. It's the three sound ninja. I set Sasuke down and prepared to end this fast. I've had enough of this forest. I open the scroll and unseal my sword. I conceal myself as I jump on the girl. Her eyes widen in horror as she looks at me from the ground. I kick her lower half on the ground.
"Yo yo yo! What the fuck is this? He killed her in a single instant. What do we do?" The spiky-haired one said.
"Shut up, Zeke. She was useless anyways. Stick to the plan." He rushed forward and punched at me. I blocked it, and he smirks. Nothing happens that he can see, but the sound hurts a lot. It pissed me off.
"So annoying. I'm sick of this." I slam the device on my knee, and it breaks. I kick his knee, and he falls onto it. I knee him in the face. As he's falling towards the ground, I stomp him into a human-sized crater. The other guy is freaking out and starts to run. I use the hidden mist jutsu, and I make it as thick as possible. I can only hear him. I can't see anything. I shushin in front of him and activate my sharingan. "I'll let you see what a demon is like before I send you to hell." He whimpers, and I split him in two. Head to toe.
I check their scroll, and we're lucky. It's an earth scroll. We're about a quarter of the way to the middle. It's been several hours since we started. I figure we can make it there before dark.
"Alright, Naruto. Let me carry Sasuke. We're rushing to the middle." He nods and tosses Sasuke to me. I grab him and start heading to the middle as fast as I can. Naruto can't keep up, so I slow down for him.
O=O=O
A minute after the water ball was sent.(Note: Kin did not find the sound ninja and destroy them all in a single minute. Destroyed them? Yes. Find them? No. Sorry for the confusion.)
Hiruzen is sitting at his desk giggling while reading Icha Icha Paradise. All of a sudden a ball of water hits him in the back of the head. He's pretty pissed, until he sees a piece of paper floating down. He grabs it and reads it. His eyes narrow, "So, you're making your move then, my student. Anbu! Load up and prepare to patrol. We're looking for Orochimaru."
Six Anbu appear. "Yes, sir."
O=O=O
Multiple hours later.
We finally arrived in the middle. The tower is standing there looking wonderful. I walk in with Sasuke and read the sign. It tells us to open the scrolls, and we do. Iruka pops out and gives us this speech about mind and soul and stuff.
"Alright, Iruka. That's good and all, but I think Sasuke needs some help. Like from Kakashi. So, I have to go do that. Thank you for the kind words. Bye, Iruka." I say as I walk past him and take Sasuke to Kakashi. Iruka just says bye and poofs away.
I get Sasuke to Kakashi and tell him what happened. "Hmm. This isn't good. At least, he didn't start using this power. Someone like him would be addicted to it. I'm gonna go seal this up. There's a cafeteria for food and some rooms to rest. I recommend you do both. You have 3 days to recover.
"Alright, good luck, Kakashi-sensei." I say as I head to the cafeteria. I'm so hungry right now. I get some fried rice and 3 bowls of ramen. As I'm in the process of eating them, a certain blond girl sits down in front of me with her tray. "Hey there, cutie. Mind if I sit here?" She said as she winked at me. "I never did get to introduce myself. My name is Temari. What's yours?"
"My name is Kin. When did you guys get here? I wasn't expecting anyone."
"We just arrived. A little later than you it seems. Not that it's a bad thing. Anyways, after you get done here, you want to go have a little fun?"
"Uh, idk what you mean by that. There's nothing to do here." I say thinking back to the facilities we have here.
"Oh I'm sure I could find something for you to do." She moved her foot and proceeded to rub my legs up to a certain spot. I jumped up. "Uhh yeah. Sorry, Temari. I have a girlfriend… so yeah. I'm finished with my food anyways, so I'm gonna go sleep or something." I say as I quickly get out of there. What do I tell Anko? Apparently, I don't have to wait, as she is walking in right now. She's clutching her shoulder, and I walk up to her.
"Anko. What's wrong?" I say as I look at her concerned. She just smiles at me and winks, "These things are destroying my shoulders. You may have to give me a massage. Hahaha." Hmm, I don't believe it, but she could be right. I let her use me as a crutch and get her sat down. "Please move your hand, Anko. Let me see it." She moves her hand and there's a seal just like Sasuke's. I'm furious. When had he gotten a hold of her? I wasn't there to do anything.
"When did he get you, Anko? When did Orochimaru mark you?" I say with silent rage. She looks shocked, but she answers quickly. "Years ago, Kin. I don't like talking about it, and I didn't think you'd ever have to realize it this soon. How did you even know that it was him?" She said before her eyes widened. "You fought him, didn't you?"
"I did. If I had known that he had a bad connection to you, then I would've killed him there. Damn it all. Let me see your shoulder." She shows me the mark. "This may hurt a bit." I say as I infuse chakra in my teeth and bite into her seal. She yells out in pain. I feel awful, but I have to keep going. I suck out the chakra that belongs to Orochimaru, and the seal disappears. I let go, and she slaps me. Not hard but that made it feel 10 times worse. "What is wrong with you? Why would you ever do that?" She said as her eyes were filled with anger.
"The seal is gone. Sorry." I say as I walk off to go to whatever it is that I'm gonna do. It doesn't really matter to me. She's beyond pissed with me. I just messed it up. Great. Before I get out of the room, she grabs my hand. "I'm… sorry, Kin. I didn't know. I… I didn't know what to do. Thank you for helping me. Please don't go." She said as she sounded like she was about to start crying. I turn to her and hug her. "I'm not going anywhere without you. I promise." I say as we stand there embracing for a while.
Instantly pain shoots through my head. My forehead above my left eye is burning ungodly bad. I clutch my forehead, "Arghhh what the.. fuck." I look at it, and I see the mark engraving itself on my forehead. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one. Anko sees it too. She's not happy. "Kin, you dumbass! This feels worse than me having it. It... It hurts more to see you in pain." She ends it softly.
I smirk at her, "Hehe, I'm fine, Anko. I can just use this to track him down. He's close. I can feel it. He's in this building. I'm gonna go kill him. Right now." I stand up and unseal my sword. I rush out and head to where the pain is greatest. There I see a ninja of similar complexion to him. This is when the pain really sets in. "Hahaha, I found you, Orochimaru." His eyes widened then narrowed quickly, "I don't know what you mean, boy."
I activate my sharingan and run towards him. I need to finish this in one hit. I gather my chakra in my blade and swing it. A massive slash splits him in two, along with making a clearing through the forest behind the building in the shape of the slash. He flops into two pieces and dies. I can't feel his chakra anymore. Then it spikes. My forehead pounds and out of the seal comes Orochimaru. The pain is instantly gone, but he's still alive. I ready myself, but I hear Anko behind me. "Get out of here, Anko!" I yell but it's too late. A long blade extends and hits her deeply. No. This isn't real. I'm inside of a genjutsu. I just need to disrupt my chakra, and I'll be able to beat him. I disrupted my chakra three times. Nothing changed. No. Tears start spilling down my cheeks.
"Anko. Hey, Anko. You're okay right? Say something please. Please!" I can't even think straight anymore. What am I doing? My brain isn't working. Haha. Cruel joke. The world shifts. One word comes to mind, as I look at Orochimaru. "Jurojin." Blood fills my left eye, and Orochimaru starts to rot away. He screams and sheds his skin. He slithers away before I can get him again. I look at Anko and say it again.
"Jurojin." She starts healing from the wound and gets better. I run over and hug her as she starts coughing. "You'll be okay. It's okay, Anko. I'm here." She kisses me. I get exhausted all of a sudden and pass out.
O=O=O
Two days later.
I jump up sweating. What happened? Where am I? Someone touched my hand, and I looked over. Anko is there, and I pull her into a hug. "I'm so glad that you're okay. I don't know what I'd have done if I lost you. You're my best friend."
"I know, Kin. I know. I'm just glad you woke up in time. There was gonna be a preliminary, but several teams weren't able to get enough scrolls, so we're headed right to the final exam for the Chunin exams. It happens in a month, so you have time to train. For now, let's go home." I nod and get up with her as we head home.
"Hey, Anko."
"What, baby?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Hey Anko. I'm gonna marry you in two years. Is that okay?"
"If you can make it until then, I'll be fine with it."
O=O=O
We made it to her house, and, even though I had just woken up, I was feeling exhausted. "Anko, can we go to bed, now? I'm sleepy."
"That's where we were going anyways, dummy." We get to the room and snuggle up next to each other. Maybe… the world doesn't hate me after all.
O=O=O
Author Notes:
Alright guys. This is a long one. I was gonna do the whole invasion arc in one, but I didn't want it to be too long for you guys. There's some nice fluff in here. There's also some less fluffy things. All in all. I love this story and how this chapter has turned out.
Jurojin. It's a power I thought of. I wanted Kin to be different from any other Sharingan user. Most Mangekyo powers are named after gods, so I looked up the god Jurojin. He's the god of longevity and happy old age or so it says. So the power is to control the life force of the affected person. I.e. Wither them to nothing or make them in pristine condition. Idk if I want there to be a secondary condition to it or not besides losing the eyesight. Let me know what I should do. I'll likely give him another hopefully original power, then give him Susano and Tsukiyomi. I feel these two fit his powers more than the other ones. Thank you all for reading. I appreciate every view, follow, favorite, and comment. Until next time.
