This chapter was meh to me, liked some bits but it's a necessary chapter to have just before the chunin exams as it allows some changes to show between the original timeline and Dei's new timeline. I already have the chunin exams mapped out (My beta and I spent almost 2 hours figuring out the fighting rounds) and ooooooohhhh boy, I'm gonna have FUN writing that shit! Not kidding, the chunin exams was my favorite arc in the original anime hands down!
I will also have some premade Q&A in the author's note down below to save you lovelies some time. :3
Thank you guys for all of the fave, follows and reviews, it's always a way to brighten my day!
707cloud: That was the point in making that chapter, in a way it was Deidara's ultimate test to see if he could see through deception. I'm glad it got you emotionally invested! :D
Mackenzie Willow: Kimi will always be the overprotective little brother. X3 Also that side story will be my favorite for a long time.
MidnaMoo: Yikes! I'll have to take a look, thank you!
Tawnypelt37: I was dying from typing it. XD
silverworlf310: I'm good at making guys uncomfortable actually, it's a hobby of mine to make my guy friends squirm lol.
Asia1990: Woohoo! That MMD is one of my favorites and it fit so well into the story that I had to give it a shoutout. Also wait, that girl only had one episode? Man I thought it was several episodes, I may be able to watch it, then determine afterwards, but she's most likely already dead due to timelines. Also sure, I'll take a look at the story, just PM me. :)
ArmCannos34: Maybe Until Dawn is a better example of branches lol. But yes, anime fans can either make or break it, but you always gotta stick your nose in first!
cassianaswindell123: That quote sums Dei in a nutshell.
Guest 33: Hun! D: Focus on your health first, don't worry about reviews! Get lots of rest and eat healthy and get better soon! I will have a moment where Dei tells her buddies about the whole reincarnation thing, don't worry! Also considering Jiraiya taught Pein and his buds and he's friends with Orochimaru… yikes, no wonder they ended up the way they did lol. I'm planning on delving deeper into Dei's subconscious about this whole ordeal, she has not moved on completely from her old life and will need a gentle push from someone. (I won't say who, but they will show up just before the timeskip to shippuden.) I'm happy I was able to make you laugh, poor Weasel-kun needs to stop being a curious little guy when it comes to her memories, imagine if he had found the doujinshis! XD Thank you for the support, but make sure you put your health first and get better! :3
MelonLordOfMelons: … Dude… my beta and I friken love you right now. I read your review in my English class and my tablemates thought I was crying because of how I laugh! XD
IsraAl'Attia-Theron: Kimi is very yandereish isn't he? He won't go on the level of Yuno Gasai, but someone tries to hurt his loved ones better hope he kills them swiftly. I think Obito just flat out regrets trying to talk one on one with Deidara at the base, never try to fish info from a fangirl, we can talk for hours. XD
Jeli26: Might as well be by now lol. My beta is pushing it and I personally like the idea a lot.
Reaper: Maybe, I would just think they would be extremely unstable due to the explosion release.
VenaHope:Tell me about it. X-X
mui. sakurai. 73: Thank you so much! :D
FieryRedRose789: Yeah… welcome to Kpop, they tend to be very repetitious and use the same English words over and over again. Not a fan, I just watch the MMDs for the dancing.
Renavelia: Ironic considering the stuff Itachi's seen in his short life huh?
draconianking: :3 Teehee
Ladybug002: Glad you liked it hun! :3
"Blah" - Talking
'Blah' - Thinking
Blah - Passage of time
Warning: Foul language, more drug talk, fangirling, Kankuro hating, annoying penguins, OOC moments.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did, biting your thumb to do a summon wouldn't have that disturbing crunch sound.
The next three days consisted of multiple hospital visits and the inability to be alone at any given time. Despite the fact that the sedatives caused no physical harm to my body, the medicine did. It killed whatever illness I had contracted, but it also ate up most of my energy as my body tried to destroy it. The first day coming home Kimimaro spent a good ten minutes trying to wake me up with Itachi's crow all but screaming in my ears. I'm the lightest sleeper in the household, this warranted enough panic to undergo some tests.
I had to spend three days for four hours every day going through tests, blood transfusions, and even more medication to counterbalance the plants used in whatever Sasori gave me. Fun… very fun, I just looooovvvveee taking medicine, note my sarcasm.
On a side note, I had to return my ring to the crow. I had completely forgotten that it was on my finger, and I didn't want to risk it being used to track me or alert me of meetings.
Whenever I wasn't in the hospital, I was always with someone. I would usually hang out with Team Gai, training with Lee or getting to know Tenten. She's actually a pretty cool kid, though her idea of cute is questionable. (AN: More on that in the side story at the end.)
By the time the third day rolled around, I finally had every trace of Sasori's drugs flushed out of my systems, thank Kami because I hated taking all of those pills. On a happier note, Naruto and the gang were returning home!
At the gates we are greeted by the genin team, Naruto runs and hugs Kimimaro and me, but what caught my eye were the two trailing behind Kakashi. Holy shit… it worked!
"HAKU-CHAN!" I throw myself off of Naruto's grip and proceed to hug Haku tightly. The poor kid is so lost and Zabuza is staring at Kakashi, if he had eyebrows he would be raising one right now.
"I'm guessing this is the brat you told us about Kakashi?" Did he just call me what I think he called me?
Kakashi rubs the back of his head, "Yeah… you see, Deidara-"
"Call me a brat again Zabuza-san and I'll shove Kubikiribocho so far up your ass you'll spit it out, un." Someone pat my back, I said that name without stuttering once!
At first, Zabuza didn't take me seriously considering I was nuzzling Haku's head like he's an oversized plush. But a frantically waving Kakashi, and four kids shuddering were good enough indicators that I have more than one way to keep that threat.
"Fine, fine. But how do you know about us-" I shove a piece of paper into his face. I didn't want to verbally explain the future, so writing it was a good way for the Kiri shinobi to learn the half truth, while also saving my breath. "... I see… fine kid, since Haku and I are alive I'll believe this."
"Good. Please note had I been in this situation a year earlier, I would have taken Haku with me like I did Kimimaro, un." Haku at some point during the hug just relaxed into it due to an overflow of loving aura. My ice muffin was alive and I am keeping it that way!
Though Kimimaro heard that statement and is giving me a questioning stare, I blow him a kiss. I'll have to tell him at some point, he's too smart for his own good to not figure it out.
Zabuza nods, "Note taken. I take it that you will vouch for us to the Hokage?"
"Just tell him that Deidara is involved, un." I let Haku go, who hides behind Zabuza blushing and returns to my own chibis. Giving Naruto a loving hug and smothering him with kisses.
"Deidara-nii! Stop, dattebayo!" Naruto flails, trying to escape my affection.
"Shush, I haven't seen you in almost a week. Let me love you, un." A giggle behind me causes my head to snap at Sakura and Sasuke. Both kids pale instantly.
"Who wants to be smothered first, un?"
Kimi pipes up, "I don't know Nii-sama, Sasuke-san needs someone to greet him from missions." What a thoughtful brother I have, always caring for others. Though Sasuke had the face of utter betrayal.
Naruto snickers with a cheeky grin, "I'd run if I were you teme."
And so the Uchiha did just that.
…
He didn't get very far.
Zabuza looks back at Kakashi, gently patting Haku on the head in comfort, as the boy is still embarrassed, "Is this normal?"
The masked shinobi sighs and pulls out his porn, "Usually it's just Naruto. But Deidara is a mother in a man's body to put a long story short."
The fellow masked shinobi nods in thought, "Haku, make some friends." Like a father trying to make his nerdy son play football, he nudges the boy to Kimimaro, who looks at the ice wielder with interest.
Kimimaro gave Haku a long look, a spark of recognition lit up both boys' faces as they remembered their encounter years ago, "Have you ever sparred with a Hyuuga before?"
Haku tilts his head, "Not that I recall." Giving the bone boy a questioning gaze, blinking a few times.
Kimimaro nods in thought, "Nii-sama, I will be taking Haku-san to Neji's. I will be home later." He then walks away with Haku to the Hyuuga estate.
I wave him goodbye while keeping a grip on my Duckie, "Be good, un!"
"Deidara, let me go!"
I snort, "Please, you love this attention. Now come on, we need to have ramen, un." I throw Sasuke over my shoulder while leading the other two behind me. Sakura is calmly talking to me about the mission, while Naruto is teasing Sasuke about being a sack of flour. This earned him a ride on my other shoulder and Sasuke laughing at my brother's misery.
Both adults look at each other with the same thought.
'Thank every deity out there that I'm too heavy.'
At Ichiraku's
"So, anything new happen during the mission, un?" I casually eat my ramen while Naruto slurps up his third bowl.
Sasuke pauses from his eating and looks at me, his sharingan activated with two tomoe in one eye, and one in another, "These activated while I was fighting Haku."
'So they did fight, I wonder how Haku and Zabuza got to live then.' I lift up my hand and waved it to the point where you could only see it when I changed direction. Sasuke easily lifts his own hand and copies me. Woohoo! The copy ability works!
Seriously, Uchihas don't do a lot of copying if memory serves me right. Mostly Susano'o and Amaterasu.
"Nice Duck-kun, though don't expect me to allow you to rely solely on your new eyes when training, un. I'll start making you fight blindfolded." I give him a smirk as he frantically nods. Sasuke doesn't need the sharingan to become strong, they just make it easier.
And I just don't believe in going through things the easy way.
I look over at Sakura and observe her relaxed posture, she's stopped staring at Sasuke obsessively and is enjoying life to the fullest. She's a little bud that is so close to blooming into a lovely kunoichi.
If she keeps this up, I guess I'll encourage her to begin a relationship after she becomes a teenager… AFTER she becomes a teenager, and that's like 16 in my book.
The pinkette quickly finishes her ramen and excuses herself so she could say hi to her parents.
I look back at the boys, "Let's go to the training ground, I want to see how strong you two are, un." I head out after paying for our lunches and they quickly follow on my tail.
They lasted a solid twenty minutes against me working together. Their teamwork is flawless.
They're ready for the chunin exams.
One week later
I watch as each jonin instructor began recommending their teams to the chunin exams. Kakashi signed up his trio without hesitation, knowing that not recommending them would invoke an unhappy me.
However Anko, looked at me for permission.
With a single nod, she faces the Hokage, "I, Mitarashi Anko, recommends Kaguya Kimimaro, Ukon, and Sakon to the chunin exams." Everything went smoothly until Iruka had his panic attack. I can understand his panic though, the Konoha 9 are all around the age of twelve.
After Iruka argued with Kakashi for a moment, he turned to me, "Naruto is your brother! He hasn't even been a genin for that long, how do you know he's ready?!"
"I don't, but I trained him for five years, it is up to him on what he does with it, un." I calmly examine my nail polish. "But he's my brother, he will not disappoint me. Neither will Kimimaro, un." An unspoken thought process went through the minds of those who know me.
They will never disappoint me.
Meanwhile with Naruto and Chibis
Naruto's POV
'Why did I let Konohamaru run his mouth?!' I repeat this several times as we ran away from Sakura-chan and Hinata. Konohamaru called Sakura-chan ugly and that caused her to chase us, Hinata is only getting involved because Sakura-chan is her friend.
Why did Deidara-nii have to train them both himself?! He specifically took them both as his students, making them mini hims in terms of power!
"OOF!"
"Huh?" I pause my running when I watch Konohamaru fall to the ground after running into someone.
The guy had this freaky purple make-up, like a cat or Sasuke after a long paint session. Next to him was this pretty lady with blond hair and a big fan on her back. Their forehead protectors were from Suna, if my lessons with Nii-san were correct, but neither seemed friendly.
Overall, they looked weird.
"Ugh, just a bunch of brats. Why is Konoha so full of weaklings." The cat guy scoffs before grabbing Konohamaru by his shirt and lifted him off the ground. Konohamaru's friends shouted out his name as I get more angry at the guy. How dare he insult our village!
I quickly made a shadow clone, in the corner of my eye Sakura-chan was preparing to fight while Hinata got into a stance.
"Oh? You punks wanna fight?" The guy pulls off a weird bandaged-up thing from his back. The blond girl looks at him panicked.
"You're going to use the crow?!" Huh? Crow? Deidara-nii has a crow that follows him, but this doesn't look like a bird.
"Kankuro… that's enough." The two freeze in their places and look over at a tree. Hanging upside down was another boy with red hair. But something was off about him.
I'm not sure if it was the strange gourd on his back, or the fact that he doesn't have any eyebrows.
I wasn't paying too much attention to what they were saying, only that he made the two back off. "I'm sorry, for any trouble he may have caused."
I look at Sakura, she was pale and let out a gulp, "It's fine. You three are for the chunin exams?" Huh? Chunin exams? It's already that time of the year? Wasn't Kimi-nii planning on participating?
The blond girl nods, "That's right, we're from Sunagakure and we must be off to meet our jounin instructor. Goodbye." With that the three Suna shinobi turn and left.
They didn't even have the nerve to tell us their names, except for that… Kankuro guy? I can tell that if Deidara-nii met the guy, he wouldn't like him.
'Also where the hell is Teme!?'
Back with Deidara
Deidara's POV
"Test them if you wish, but they will enter. Please excuse me, there is someone I must greet, un." I politely bow to my senpais and leave the building. Using my sensing abilities, it took me seconds to locate my target.
Standing before the three, my eyes lock with a pair of cold green eyes and my heart clenches. This body caused him so much trouble in another life, and here I am, looking at the version before the headbutt of love from Naruto. The cutest human panda in existence.
Sabaku no Gaara.
"Gah, another Konoha punk to piss me off?" Oh right, his siblings are also here. Fuck you too Kankuro. I never really liked him, I don't know exactly why, he just… annoyed me by existing.
"Careful there Kankuro-kun, I could easily have you disqualified, un." I give the boy a teasing wink, who cares if he's a year younger than me? I'm mentally way older than him and I love it!
Temari smirked, "And how could you do that? And how do you know our names?" She cockily folds her arms in mock defiance. Careful Temari, I know your future husband.
I give the three a mock bow before walking to them, "The names Deidara, I am the proctor for the second event of the chunin exams, un." That shut Gaara's siblings up, though Gaara is a walking pile of adorable serial killer apathy.
"Is there any reason why you decided to bother us?" Oh, damn, he has to avoid making death threats to Konoha shinobi because of the plans. Oh well.
"Just to warn you three that snakes cannot be trusted, un." Kankuro and Temari exchange glances while Gaara gives me a suspicious expression. I really want to hug Gaara, I really do… but I also like living. I'll resist the urge until after Naruto kicks his ass.
… Naruto, please kick his ass soon.
Speaking of snakes, guess who walked up behind me.
"Pardon me? I couldn't help myself but overhear that you are a proctor for the exams?" I bend my head backwards to look at Shiore, a living Crona* as so many versions of the Naruto media gets his gender wrong*. Though it doesn't take a genius to tell that this was Orochimaru.
"You heard right, how may I help you?" The Suna siblings leave while I talked to the snake.
He gestures to his teammates, "This is our first time being in this exam, would you show us where we go to register?" The fact that he expects me to believe this lie is almost hilarious. For some reason Shonen Jump villains like to think their prey are idiots.
Foolish snakey, I'm an idiot, but not that kind!
Being the polite person that I pretend to be, I nod while twisting my body so I stood straight, "Sure. Follow me, un." I calmly head to the building, but that is interrupted when I am quickly tackled by Kimimaro. "Yes…?" I could feel Orochimaru staring intensely at my brother… back off bitch, he's my chibi.
"With your permission, may I enter the chunin exams Nii-sama?" He shows me the registration paper and I facepalm. Damnit Kimi, you don't need to ask me these things! "But I did not want to make you worried." Woops, didn't mean to say that out loud.
"Yes, you may enter the exams. Now shoo shoo, I need to help out this team register, un." Kimimaro looks up and blushes realizing that he may have embarrassed me in front of others. Quickly scrambling to his feet he bows lowly to the team and runs off.
I am going to have to teach Kimi to not bow at snakes, he's suppose to kill them.
"What a cute otouto you have." I bristle at Orochimaru's comment. Locking eyes with him, I could feel my chakra making my hair rise like a protagonist in a Ghibli film. Thankfully, it was windy enough to trick the eye.
"Thank you, I rescued him from a snake attack years ago and adopted him. I suggest never fighting him head on, you'll die, un." I inwardly smirk at Oro's unamused expression before I lead them inside the building. "You register here. Good luck in the exams, un." I then bolted out of there.
Wanting to avoid running into anymore people I quickly head back to the apartments. Tenzo was given the task of constructing a new building so everyone I brought to Konoha all live in the same area. I kept the layout to my apartment the same, but I made sure each complex fitted the person living in them.
I also did this because I had a weird feeling that I was going to be bringing in more people to Konoha soon.
With the chunin exams only being a few days away, I hide in my room and pull an all nighter to prepare.
Back with the chibis
3rd person POV
Iruka had his three clones disguise themselves as masked shinobi. Each one tasked with testing out Team 7.
The first target was Naruto.
Iruka had kidnapped a girl that the blond was playing ninja with some other kids. Without hesitation, Naruto used dozens of shadow clones, and pummeled Iruka like a punching bag. The clone didn't stand a chance.
The next target was Sakura, a very similar situation happened. The moment he got even close to her she spammed earth jutsus, if Iraku was anything but a clone he would have died from the spire the young kunoichi had stab his abdomen with.
"Oh! Sorry Iruka-sensei's clone! Deidara-sensei told me to use that jutsu if a man approached me with malicious intent." The pinkette giggled as the cloned poofed away. Iruka is now wondering how much influence the bomber has on these kids.
Considering that Sasuke's idea of handling the clone was to repeatedly stab him with a palette knife because he interrupted the Uchiha's painting time… Deidara has a strong influence.
Iruka poofs to Kakashi, pale and covered with a nervous sweat, "They will be JUST fine during the exams."
Kakashi looks at the teacher confused, "What happened?"
"Sasuke-kun stabbed my clone with a palette knife…"
A raised silver eyebrow later, "Those are some of the dullest knives in existence."
Iruka shivers, "Not when it's in Sasuke-kun's hands. You might as well give him a kunai." The teacher poofs back home and tries to relax after the whole ordeal. He couldn't help but smile at how much the three have grown over the last few years, he has little to worry about now.
IT'S TIME TO DU- whoops, wrong anime
Deidara's POV
Before Team 7 enters the building to take their tests, I hand them all wrapped boxes.
"Eh? Deidara-nii, what's all this about, dattebayo?" His teammates shared the same thoughts as they stared at their own boxes.
"Open them, un." That simple statement was enough to make the three chibis dig into their presents. I had to let a smile form on my lips, 'Even though they're old enough to kill now… they still act like kids…'
Naruto was the first to open his present, he stared confusingly at the small orange creature staring up at him with big brown glossy eyes. It took them all a few seconds to realize the creature wasn't breathing.
It was a clay fox.
I spent the week before the chunin exams perfecting realism into my art, using colored clay I was able to create detailed sculptures that moved as if they were real.
"Each of you get a clay companion for the chunin exams, they are to help protect you and only you. Just give it a drop of blood and it will bond to your chakra, un." I wince when Naruto bit his thumb, that crunch noise!
A single drop of blood later and the fox blinks, scampers up Naruto's jacket before draping itself over his shoulder. Once settled it yawns and quickly closing its eyes as if falling asleep, I even put soapy water inside its body so it mimics a snot bubble… I couldn't resist.
Sakura was the next to open her box, I struggled to pick a creature for her. So I decided to give her a chirithy from Kingdom Hearts. The little dream eater settled on her head when given blood and happily settled down.
Sakura giggles, "These are so cute! Thank you Deidara-sensei!" The pinkette hugs me while the chirithy easily balances on her head. Good to know that she likes cats.
Sasuke on the other hand… was anything but amused. He stared at his creature with disdain and reluctance, as if it was a sick joke.
It kind of is, I gave him a weasel.
"Really…?" Sasuke looks up at me with an annoyed expression, he sets the box down as if it contained one of Kakashi's books.
I give him a cheerful smile as I chirp out, "Yep! It's either a weasel that you wear as a scarf, or a duck sitting on your head, un!" I'm grateful he doesn't have the mangekyo yet right now.
I had to hold in my laughter as I made him give blood to the clay rodent. Once alive it scrambles up Sasuke's shirt, wrap around his neck like a scarf, and almost instantly blended in with his skin. Sasuke's weasel was tricky to make, I had to use rare materials that blended in with its environment to get the right mixture, and had Haku help me reflect his skin tone. Unlike the clay fox and chirithy, the weasel isn't made to be seen, in fact, it won't survive past this day.
It will be the thing that Orochimaru bites, not Sasuke.
Unless you started feeling the Uchiha's neck, you cannot see the weasel, it doesn't move, doesn't get in the way, and it doesn't attack. All it is made to do, is blow up in Orochimaru's face, better that Duck boy get's burned than a cursed hickey that can literally bring Oro back to life.
This, is also the next step in getting Itachi home.
I gave Kimimaro a clay creature earlier in the morning. After less than a minute of consideration, I made him a replica of his dragon plush. I ended up squealing and hugging my brother seeing a long dragon draped over his shoulders lazily snoozing away. Kimi's happy, blushing expression added to my glee.
I give each chibi a kiss on their cheeks followed by loving embraces. I love these kids, I love them so much, and I feel like a proud parent sending their child off to their first day of school.
Only difference is that this school has over 100 plus shinobi waiting to kill them.
Side story #6: Tenten (During the 3 day timeskip) Suggested by cloth slayer
I sat boredly under a tree watching Team Gai train. I was pretty much useless after my most recent hospital visit, so all I could do was make some sculptures.
At some point Tenten sat next to me and began watching with fascination as I turn a simple lump of clay into…
A penguin? Weird, penguins aren't something I typically make, they're useless in battle and can't fly. This one was particularly strange. It had big googoo eyes and mini devil wings on its back.
Okay, curiosity got the better of me, I toss the sculpture onto the ground and let it grow to size with a poof.
"Wow! Thanks for making me dood!"
My eyes bug out as I quickly look at Tenten, who seemed equally as confused. Did my sculpture just talk…? And call me… "dude"? Or was it something else? Sounds like dude.
When the smoke vanishes, standing before us on peg legs was some freaky penguin with a sewn belly. Almost like a poorly made stuffie. It waves to us frantically to get us to snap out of our stupor.
"You okay dood?"
Oh my Kami this thing is so…
"Are you a man or a lady? I can't tell dood!"
Annoying.
Its voice is cute, but no way in hell do I want this as a clay creature. Nu uh, if I'm gonna have ANY talking creatures it's gonna be something I recognize.
Though there are some familiarities in its design, mostly in it's weird sentence ender. Maybe I saw it on a youtube video once?
I hold up a handsign to blow up the sculpture when Tenten stops me.
"You're so cute!" Seriously girl? I give Tenten a sideways glance and the girl proceeds to hug the penguin. "What is this Deidara-san?!"
"I'm a prinny! I have to serve until I can reincarnate. It's a hard life dood!"
My eye twitches as Tenten openly accepts this weird creature. Especially after it pulls out a comically sized bomb from it's pouch. Oh… I accidentally made it a C2… lovely.
"Can I keep it Deidara-san?! Please?" I look at the weapon user for a very long time.
Eventually, I sigh, "Yeah sure. Go ahead. Just don't cause too much mayhem with it, un."
I had to smile at Tenten's enthusiasm though, you learn almost nothing about her in the main series. Honestly, the Rock Lee spin off is what made me like her character in the first place.
I actually forgot about her existence for quite some time.
After helping her make a blood bond with the prinny, Neji walks me home.
A few days before the chunin exams
"MAKE WAY DOOD!" I leap to the side as literal dozens of those freaky penguins run past me. What the fuck?!
"Hey Deidara-san! Did you know that the clone jutsu works on your sculptures if they're connected to chakra?" Tenten laughs past me after the prinnies.
I slowly rub my temples, a massive headache began to form. Great, I gave Tenten a penguin army.
I still can't remember where I've seen those creatures! I know they're from a video game, but I'm not sure where!
Gah, I should have made heartlesses.
Prinnies are from the Disgaea series, a video game franchise that I am completely unfamiliar with, but this gave Tenten some love so I decided to go for it. I watched a few videos and found them charmingly annoying, so naturally Deidara would get peeved by its existence. They'll make appearances whenever I give Tenten screentime, but they won't have any major roles anytime soon.
Peg-legged penguins aside, next chapter we nose dive into the chunin exams! YES! FINALLY! I have been working on this one chapter for literal over a month that I am excited to post later on! (it's not this coming up chapter. You guys will know which one it is because I'll be gushing happiness in my author's note.) I'm so excited! X3
The following bit are a series of questions that I have made premade answers to. Please refer to these if any of your questions involve the exams, if you want to more details please PM me. If your question is not listed here then ask away! :)
Will Sasuke get the curse hickey? NOPE! That's what the weasel is for! :D
Will X team be in the fighting rounds? Minus Team Anko all of the teams will remain the same.
Can you have person A and person B fight in one of the rounds? PM me your idea and I will discuss with my beta. :3 We already mapped out all of the fights, but some are open for change.
Why is Deidara taking Anko's spot? Because Anko is a sensei now, it's so Konoha can avoid claims of favoritism, plus Dei needs to keep an eye on everything.
How does the blood bond work? Similar to a summons, the clay creatures are no longer controlled by Deidara besides their original intent (Like the weasel is to remain motionless until bitten) and are linked to their new human's chakra.
Are Haku, Sai, or anyone else in the exams? No, Haku does not have a team and Sai is ANBU level.
Will any of the Akatsuki be involved? Minus Itachi's crow (Thus giving Itachi screentime), do not expect any Akatsuki members appearing until the end of the chunin exams unless I make a random ass side story.
Will Deidara bring Gaara into the Leaf? No, but Dei will be hugging that panda when the time comes.
*Insert ANYTHING Karin related here* - The kid will be FINE, I will not repeat myself, Karin will not be going to Orochimaru. She will NOT play any major role in the story and if she did, it won't be until shippuden. Please, do not ask about her, I do not like Karin in the slightest. Deidara's goal is to save people that die, and she seems hunky dory being friend's with Sakura in the Boruto arc, there is nothing else to say about her.
*Crona is a character from Soul Eater whose gender is unknown even to the creator.
*The person Orochimaru uses is called a man in everything but the anime dub, and some english translations of the mnaga. I only learned just recently that the body was a dude's body to be completely honest.
Hopefully this all covers your guy's questions about the exams, but do not be afraid to ask these questions anyway, I will make sure they are answered.
As per usual, reviews are greatly appreciated and loved and I will see you guys in the chunin exams!
PEACE!
