[Ryuu's not here. Kidding he's beside me right now, cheering because he finally finished his part to discuss. I mean, why hand me the microphone when he didn't even sign off? *Oww* He thumped me on the head and is telling me to get on with the story.]
We planned to find Kiyomi by pair. I was going with Hotaru, Sai and Keisuke were going together (I know, it sounds weird right?) and Ryuu was going with my Shadow Clone.
"Why would she suddenly go missing?" Hotaru asked me when she saw the look on my face.
"She caught Ryuu spying on her when she took a walk with the Uchiha, Sasuke."
"I've heard rumors that Kiyomi used to come here every night."
"*O.o* every night… Why?" I asked her, "How does she even travel?"
"*shrug* Not only you know the secrets of the Zen Clan, Rasen. Remember that the Yuzuki Clan and Ryuu's family work hand in hand to stop enemies from attacking or invading the Hidden Sound Village." Hotaru replied.
"That means that she can-" I realized...
"Exactly Rasen, also, I think that she doesn't know that she possesses something important, something that every single shinobi in the world wants to have; she has all 5 Chakra Natures." Hotaru was bugging me out... She never does that.
"You're kidding right?" I asked her.
She shook her head. "If she has the Shakurigan, then there's no doubt."
"Shakurigan? I never heard of it." I was sure I heard that word from somewhere before.
"You've heard about the Sharingan and the Rinnegan right?" she asked a dumbfounded Rasen,
"Yeah. So what about it?" I, the dumbfounded Rasen, replied.
"And I'm also sure that you've heard of the Byakugan. Am I right?"Hotaru asked me again.
"Yeah. Of course I have." I replied slowly.
She said something that completely bugged me out, "Then imagine the Sharingan, the Advanced Bloodline Limit of the Uchihas, the Rinnegan, the Advanced Bloodline Limit of the Senjuus and the Byakugan, the Advanced Bloodline Limit of the Hyuugas, put together."
"H-how is that possible?" I argued.
"Every 100 years, a child from a village is born with it. It's not passed down by blood; it's passed down by luck. And thirteen years, 5 months and 4 days ago, Kiyomi Yuzuki was born with the Shakurigan."
"This is getting even weirder than usual."
"If you don't believe me, then fine."
She ignored me after that. *groan* we saw a group of genin as we passed by Ichiraku Ramen. One kid there had a puppy on his head. That guy nodded when he saw me staring at him.
"Let's ask if they've seen Kiyomi." Hotaru miraculously said.
We approached the three genin. "Um... Yeah, hi. I'm Magami Hotaru and this is Chidori Rasen. We're both from the Sound Village, here for the Chuunin Exams. I was just wondering if you've seen a comrade of ours. She's as tall as me and she's about his age. Her name is Yuzuki Kiyomi, and-" well, she couldn't finish her sentence because a girl with pale lavender eyes, butt in.
"Wait, the girl that's hangin' out with Sasuke? The one that has the same hair as him?" she asked.
"Yeah, have you-" I was interrupted by white eye too.
"Hold it there blabbermouth, why did she get lost in the first place?" she asked.
"It's none of your beeswax, white eyes."
"You call that an insult? Puh-lease, you are such a dumbass."
"What?" I balled my fist and grabbed her collar.
"Jyuuken!" she said while touching my arms. My chakra flow stopped, and I couldn't feel my arms. They dropped to my sides.
"What the hell?" Hotaru said, healing my numb arms.
"You sure are a jerk, aren't you?" I said.
The guy with the puppy on his head stepped in the middle. "Don't provoke her any further." he stared at white eyes, "And as for you Hinata, don't make any rivals when you first meet other shinobi."
"Just because she's a Hyuuga, it doesn't mean that she's all mighty." Hotaru said, dragging me away.
I heard fast footsteps behind us. Hinata seemed to be fully provoked. She was going to attack. Luckily, Hotaru kicked her straight in the chest, and she went sprawling on the ground. She got up and activated her Byakugan.

"It's useless to use that when you're my opponent." Hotaru said.
I couldn't understand a thing she was saying. Hinata made the trigrams stance.
"Oh no you don't." the dog on the head dude/man grabbed Hinata's arms, "Poke me and Akamaru will bite you." the dog dude/man said.
"Leave once you're done with the Chuunin Selections, will you?" Hinata scoffed.
"Why would we even stay here?" I scoffed.
Hotaru was smirking. "Why are you so happy?"
"Remember my skill in copying?" she let me look at her eyes. I smirked.
"You evil little girl, I wonder how she'll react when she knows that you have Kekkei Genkai too."
"I'll have my hopes up." she laughed.
"Yeah, I'll have my hopes up too."
We walked around Konoha. There were so many people. So I stood on top of a pole and craned my neck to check if Kiyomi was there. Unfortunately, she wasn't.
"We have to meet up with the others already. It's already lunch time." Hotaru said, standing at the opposite pole.
We jumped off and ran towards the meeting place. When we arrived, Sai and Keisuke were panting near the meeting place.
"Any luck?" I asked them.
"Oh yeah... Saw her *pant* walking with *pant* an Uchiha *pant* called Sasuke *pant*." Keisuke panted... -_-
"Why isn't she here then?" Hotaru asked her eyes a calm green again.
"We ran into Konoha genin." Sai deliberately groaned.
"This dude called Shikamaru trapped me with his Shadow Bind Technique, and a girl trapped Kyasuriin with a Mind Transfer Jutsu."
"*pant* that whore *pant* called Ino."
"Hmmm... Let's see if Ryuu had any luck then." Hotaru jerked her head slowly towards Ryuu and my Shadow Clone who were marching towards us.
"Hey Ryuu, did YOU have any luck?" I asked him.
He shook his head. "I nearly convinced her. But this weird guy fought with me so I had no choice."
"A weird guy nearly stopped YOU?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah, one with a green suit, he was yelling something about "The Spring of Youth". I mean, what the hell is that?" after that, Ryuu spilled everything.
-This was Ryuu's POV-
He was spying on Sasuke and Kiyomi again. They were talking.
"What were those weird guys to you?" Sasuke asked Kiyomi.
"What?" she asked back.
"Nothing." he looked away.
"I'm bored." she said.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked her while smirking.
"If you're thinking about the Hidden Sound Village, then yes." she replied, a bored expression on her face.
"Let's see those jutsus." Sasuke started, "But, let's get rid of the litter around here... Shall we?"
Sasuke was not a fool. He sensed Ryuu even in his Shadow form. Heh, expect nothing else from an Uchiha right? Sasuke jumped in front of Ryuu and grabbed a kunai. They both clashed and Sasuke was brought into the shadows.
"Ryuu, stop it." Kiyomi barked.
They both stopped and calmed down. Ryuu was eying Sasuke, and Sasuke was raising an eyebrow.
"Come on, Sasuke, leave Ryuu to Rock Lee."
"What?" yelled Ryuu.
Sasuke left a confused Ryuu gaping at Kiyomi.
"You're the one I'm supposed to fight? Then BRING IT ON!" a very weird guy said out of nowhere.
"This is a misunderstan-" Ryuu
"HIIIYAAAAAAAA!" the weird guy did a roundhouse kick, but Ryuu blocked it. "You will see another product of THE SPRING OF YOUTH! THE LEAF'S GREEN BEAST, ROCK LEE!"
Ryuu pressed his left shoulder and "Rock Lee" fainted and dropped to the ground. "What a drag. I beat a beast so easily. *looks around* Huh, I guess I lost her again."
-End of POV-
When Ryuu finished, we went in a restaurant. They ordered food and drink, but I just stayed still in my seat.
"The sun will be setting in 5 hours and 34 minutes. We still have the advantage because Kiyomi's most invulnerable in moonlight." Sai said while eating sushi.
"So that means we wasted 3 hours. *facepalm* what a drag." Ryuu rolled his eyeballs.
I sensed Sai staring, no glaring, at me harshly. Why in the world does he glare at me like that, I don't know, but I'll 'stare' at him in the same manner...
"Whoa Rasen, chill with those eyes there." Kiyomi would say, so I looked away... Oooh! IT RHYMES! *proud*
"You're thinking about her again, aren't you?" Ryuu predicted.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "How did YOU know?" I asked him rather annoyed.
He sighed then rolled his eyes. "You're an open book, Rasen. You can be read so easily. Look, now is the time for looking for Kiyomi-chan, NOT the time for sulking around." He replied rather disgusted and highly annoyed.
"Did I just hear you call Kiyomi, Kiyomi-chan?" I asked mischievously. I grinned.
He blushed right away and let out several quick breaths. "W-what are y-you talking a-about?" He stuttered.
"Oh nothing Ryuu, let's just base the fact that you like Kiyomi." I smiled slyly.
He looked away, ignoring me. But the blush on his face was clear that he heard every word I said.
I sighed mentally. "I think I'm gonna skip lunch for a walk." everyone snapped their heads in my direction with a shocked expression.
"Are you sure?'Cause I can sense that you're REALLY hungry." asked a confused but concerned Hotaru.
"I don't have to repeat myself, do I?" I asked, a little annoyed while getting up and exiting the restaurant.
I walked around the streets of Konoha, glaring at people who glare at me, and smile at the people greeting me NICELY. When I sensed someone following me, I dropped into the shadows and let my instincts guide me. I stopped after awhile, my eyes roaming around. I was in a wide clearing full of flowers and Cherry Blossom trees. The place was beautiful. I walked around, shoving my hands in my pockets. Then I caught the eye of a girl with long pink hair, jade green eyes, and a huge forehead.
"Are you here for the Chuunin Exams?" she asked me while fluttering her eyelids. She had a soft and sweet voice. And she looked so cute.
"I-uh... Err, yeah! Are you taking it too?" I replied nervously.
She nodded and looked away. "Yes I am although I'm very nervous about it. I'm Sakura by the way. What is your name?"
"I'm not sure if I can trust you." I replied, my eyes narrowing.
She noticed the music note on my forehead protector and narrowed her eyes as well. "Are you a teammate of Kiyomi-san? If you're looking for her, she's in that grove training with Sasuke-kun. But don't interfere, they're training rather harshly." after she said those words, she walked away.
I walked towards the grove she was referring to during our little chat. And there I saw Sasuke pinned down with Kiyomi's kunai touching his neck. Both were panting and sweating. They noticed me.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes to the side but Kiyomi spoke up, "Hey Rasen. Care to join us?"
I shook my head. "Come back Kiyomi. You know that we need you."
She chuckled lightly. "I wonder why being away for a couple of hours is a huge problem for you two." she said still pinning Sasuke to the ground.
"You're coming back?" I asked.
"Well, duh? That's why I chose the bed nearest to the window." she replied smiling.
"Can you let me go now?" Sasuke hissed.
She shot her tongue out. "Yeah right, as if I'm already done with you." She sneered.
"And why is that? I thought you were talking to HIM." Sasuke shot a finger towards me.
Kiyomi rolled her eyeballs. "Fine, five minutes then we'll continue.
Kiyomi helped Sasuke up then motioned me to come over.
I sighed then stalked my way towards her. "Can we play ask as much questions you can in 5 minutes now?" I asked her.
"Yeah sure, what do you need to know?" she nodded while replying.
"When are you coming back? And why are you with HIM?" I asked curtly.
"I'm coming back later and he's the only one I can train with." she replied while crossing her arms.
"Well, if you were just going to train, then why didn't you just tell us?" I asked again.
"I was pissed okay? I was going to tell you after my 'lonely' walk, but then Ryuu spied on me and it ticked me off!" she flared.
"Alright. That's about it that I have to ask. Bye then." I said waving at Kiyomi.
"Wait!" she called after me. I turned around, checking what she wanted.
She threw a small pouch at me. Luckily, I caught it. "Eat one before you meet up with Ryuu later. They're Blocking Pills. I'm very sure you know what to do."
I nodded then left her bickering with Sasuke. I dispersed into the shadows and made my way to our apartment.I'll skip the part where me and Ryuu argue about him seeing me snoozing under a Sakura Tree (that was the replacement memory. Good idea Kiyomi.)
This next part I'm about to explain is the 1st Chuunin Exam. Oh, Kiyomi arrived like she said she would and she had told Ryuu what had really happened. I was laughing the whole time. Hey, have you seen you're rival as pale as a ghost before? I couldn't resist so I laughed the whole way through. Right, the story.
We arrived at the 3rd floor of the Exam building. Or was it? A couple of kids our age blocked the door. They wouldn't let us rookies in.
"You do know that this is the 2nd floor right?" Sakura bluntly said.
"Oh really? Look at your pass, it's the exact same room." one guy with a bandage said.
You used a genjutsu. It's that easy you know." Sasuke also bluntly said.
"Humph. You kids are good. No wonder Kakashi let you pass." his companion said then they walked away.
Upon hearing this, we advanced the next level. And once we found the right room, we entered and took a seat on one of the benches. There were lots of shinobi that we saw. Most was obviously from the Leaf, but I saw some from the Sound too! Kabuto was there as well as Yoroi. The nine rookies of the Leaf entered.
"Yeah! I'm ready to kick some ass, man!" a guy with a particularly large mouth and black sunglasses yelled. Bugs surrounded him and buzzed around like crazy.
Everyone stared at him, all with the same expressions -_- And fortunately, he shut his mouth.
A guy about a year older than Ryuu approached Sasuke. He had the same white eyes like Hinata's.
"You, dumbass Uchiha! Imma pwn your ass." he boldly said.
"Oh yeah?" Sasuke replied.
"You wait. I'll get you during the Exams."
Hinata stepped in front of big-mouth.
"Neji-niisan. SHUT UP! You're ruining everything." she yelled at him.
"I'm SORRY Hinata-sama. Please don't do THAT." he replied, afraid and ashamed.
"Very well, now SCRAM!"
With those words, he left.
I heard Ryuu and Kiyomi bickering behind me.
"Can't I just-"
"NO! I told you. I'm the one to-"
"NO! You're a gir-"
"So what if I am? I'm the only medical ninja-"
"So? I can heal-"
"No way that you can match my abili-"
"Oh yeah? Well-"
"No! I will not accept-"
"You should-"
"STOP IT!" I screamed at the both of them. They both thankfully shut their mouths.
Someone huge entered the room. He had bloodshot eyes and hundreds of scars on his face. We all laughed when we heard his squeaky voice.
"Attention! Everyone SHADDAP!" his squeaky voice turned into a loud and ferocious roar.
We all looked dumbfounded o.O
"Good. (He still had a squeaky voice XD) My name is Morino Ibiki, your examiner for the 1st Chuunin Exam. Grab a number when your name is called and proceed to the seat you are assigned to. Do I make myself clear?" all nodded.
Let's see, I was number 15, Kiyomi was number 45 and Ryuu was number 65. So technically, Ryuu was at the back of Kiyomi while she was behind me. Kewl!
Ibiki-sensei gave complicated instructions so I didn't listen at all. Although I caught words like 'written test', 'cheating' and 'fail' I completely understood the instructions. "This is a written test. If you are caught cheating 5 times, you will automatically fail." The test has begun, and 9 questions were on the paper, none whish I could truly understand. Kiyomi or Ryuu might understand them since I was the lowest scorer in the academy, and they were the highest. Oh yeah, the last question was to be given 10 minutes before the exam ends.
My answers won't really count since Kiyomi foresaw this. "Don't panic. Calm down and don't answer ANYTHING. Say yes to the last question. Got it? Because if you do these thing I tell you, we will all pass with ease." she said to Ryuu and I before we got our numbers.
So... I answered random pie. Literally random π (pi)
Pie is tasty.Pie is gooood.Pie is made up of all types of food!There is even pie flavored pie!iLike coconut pie.no cream, just coconut!Mmmm... pie gooood...Wait, is there pie in the sky!Seriously... What are we talking about?I stared at my π (pi) masterpiece. Great, just thinking about pie made me hungry. PIE!
Wow, 45 minutes passed already? Well, that was quick. Tick tock. Tick tock. I began making up strategies in my mind. If Kiyomi could time manipulate, then we'd definitely have an advantage. I already saw her do 4 types of chakra natures- Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning. Hmm, I guess Hotaru WAS right, maybe she DID have all 5. I haven't seen her use Earth though.
Huh? The tenth question already? *sigh* Ibiki-sensei kept on jabbering again and again until he said, you all pass! Yeah, whatever. Soon the 2nd examiner named Mitarashi Anko crashed through the window.
She looked at us with a sneer. "Ibiki, there are 10 teams left? *shrug* oh well, I guess I could use more. Listen up! Gather around the 44th Training Ground in one hour! Chop chop!" she left. All stood up and hurried to the 44th Training Ground, also known as The Forest of Death.
Kiyomi was looking at the gate where we were supposed to enter. Gate number 13. *Sigh* It's always a bad number, 13. At least we didn't encounter any bad omens on the way.
Ryuu was standing away from Kiyomi. It looked like he was molding chakra. He put on a serious face while closing his eyes (almost as serious while constipating XD).
A man about 5 years older than Sasuke with an Uchiha Clan symbol on the back of his clothing was talking to Sasuke. He patted Sasuke's shoulder and smiled at him... Let's see if my Skwillz are still alive and well -i think that came out wrong...- I tuned out my surroundings and concentrated on them and only them. IT WORKED! CA-CHING!
"If you don't want to lose your scroll, you better 'hide' it well." I heard the older Uchiha sneer.
"Itachi-niisan!" Sasuke said while playfully punching his brother's arm.
"Kidding, Sasuke. You have an Earth Scroll, am I right?" he seriously asked.
"Yeah." Sasuke nodded.
"Hide it in the Earth then." CORNY MUCH!
"But what happens if I get a Heaven Scroll? Hide it in the Heavens? Yeah right." Sasuke scoffed.
"I won't teach you how I survived this Sasuke." Itachi said to his little brother.
"Don't worry. I have something in mind." He saw his brother's worried expression. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I promise!"
"I wish I knew what you're thinking on doing Sasuke. I'll see you later." Itachi ruffled Sasuke's hair with a worried smile on his face.
"Alright Itachi-niisan. Goodbye." Sasuke waved.
"Bye. Be careful." Itachi muttered the last two words.
I shut them off. An Earth Scroll huh? Well, we had a Heaven Scroll. I guess it was our lucky day.
[IRDK who's gonna narrate chapter 4, but I think it'll be Keisuke or Kiyomi again. Remember Ryuu didn't sign off last time? Well, you won' be seeing him narrate again because of it. Harsh, right? Well, Kiyomi's letting me narrate chapter 5! Hoorah for chapter 5 ^^ Well, I'm done so SAYONARA! (Is that even spelled right?) *Sigh* I'll talk to you guys later. BYE!]
