With the free day I had, I was going to try to have some down time. That is always a recipe for disaster. It seems that the proctors at the exams, or maybe Hiro, couldn't keep their mouth shut about my little outbreak and my dad felt the need to talk.

"So how was the second test in the exams?"

"It was fine"

"Anything interesting happen?"

"Now that you mention it, no"

"Alright I know about what happened"

"If you knew, then why would you beat around the bush?"

"I was giving you a chance to tell me yourself"

"What if I didn't want you to know, I didn't want you to have to give this talk"

"I'm just worried about you, both your mother and I, we just want to protect you"

"Ya, you sure accomplished that job. Why can't you just let me deal with things on my own? What if you and mom weren't here? I need to learn how to work things out and make my own decisions"

"And I completely understand, but when you release the bijuu's chakra, we have a serious problem and you know that"

"Yes I know that, I realize it's a really big issue and I'm trying to make light of it"

"Do you know what you could've done with that, you could've hurt your teamma-"

"Don't you think I know that! Don't you think that I am really scared that it will happen again! I would never want to hurt them"

"I get it. When you're older, I want you to travel to the Sand village and do some research on bijuu's, they have lots of valuable information that could help you. Would you like to go and talk over ramen?"

"That would be nice"

He smiled and we walked over there. I ordered my usual…24 bowls if you can believe it. He wouldn't stop pestering me with questions, but I tried not to get too angry like in my room. When I was back, I went and laid on my bed. I needed to think some things through, like what the dragon had said that last time.

*Waiting for a chance to what…*

It was already ten and I had the last part of the Chuunin exams tomorrow and I needed some sleep. I woke up, threw some clothes on, and headed off to the stadium. I looked at the tournament listings and my problems were just getting started. I was up against Hiro in the first match.

*What am I going to do…I don't want to hurt him, but I can't lose either. I guess I'll just have to give it my best shot*

Our fight was second. I found Itachi and Hiro who were just sitting on one of the benches.

"Look guys, no matter what, we're still teammates. Deal?"

"Deal"

"Deal"

We each put our hands in the middle. We were all set to start our match. They called our names and we jumped down into the arena.

"Ok you two, give us a good match"

We stood there looking at each other, while he started the match. I shimmered out of sight and Hiro knew exactly what was coming. He jumped back just in time to dodge my wind sickle. Then he turned around and I was caught in his clone jutsu barrage.

*Kuso, I need to get out of this, and I need to do it now*

I reopened my eyes and I was in the sealing room.

"You realize I can help you, all you have to do is give in"

*Give in, are you crazy? He's my teammate!"

"Yes but he is your opponent also and you must fight!"

I felt my arms and legs getting stiff. I looked down and the chakra was slowly enveloping me.

*I thought you said you wouldn't hurt me!*

"And I will not. I just need to get out a bit, maybe kill your so called friend. It would save you lots of heartache later"

*What is that supposed to mean*

"You will learn"

It was slowly creeping up my body. When it got to my head, I blacked out in a way. The bijuu spirit took over my body and you could easily tell the difference. The Drakugan it possessed was a deep red, unlike my bright blue. My canine teeth grew and my hair whipped around my face. My nails grew into claws and the chakra around me morphed into the same dragon shape as in the forest of death. The audience just sat there in awe, some of them smirked at the sight.

"RRRRRAAAAAWWWWRRRRR"

I screamed in pain as my chakra all dissipated and the dragon's was slowly burning off my skin. The blood was mixed with the chakra around me and became a slightly different color. Hiro just stared in fear at what was happening to me, but I could barely distinguish him in my blurred vision. I didn't care though, it felt nice, I didn't want to leave it. So much power was surging in my veins, I liked it. I looked up at Hiro, lunging at him, knocking him to the ground. I grabbed his neck and started digging my claws into his flesh.

"Shinra Tensei"

He was motioning something with his hand and I felt myself being blown back by what seemed like nothing but air. I lunged at him again but something threw me back into the edge of the arena. I figured there wasn't much I could do against that except.

"Konoha Ryuu: Kami Chisoku (Leaf Style: God Speed)"

Moving faster than he could keep track of seemed to be the only way I could get past it. I pulled my hand back and charged a rasengan. The bijuu's chakra circled around it, creating blades of the burning chakra.

"Rasenyaiba" (Rasengan blade)

I threw it over to him and hit him directly but the shockwave sent me crashing threw one of the trees. I was on the ground coughing up blood, but I managed to look over at him. He didn't look conscious. I used the tree fragments on the ground to help me up. The chakra disappeared right as the proctor said I was the victor. I didn't feel like the winner. I collapsed onto my knees, Itachi, my dad, and some other ninjas came down into the arena, but I couldn't hold on and I fell to the ground.

OMG OMG OMG I got Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3!!!! It's a sweet game, for those of you who have a ps3, you need to get this game. Lol, I keep getting lost in the Leaf village. You don't know how little you know until you really need the knowledge, but I'm getting it slowly!
