Chapter 2: Tsurugi

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Konoha Village

-The hidden village of Swords? Never heard of that, said Sakura.

-It's... ancient. It the least we can tell! Answer back Tifa with a smile, almost making the girl at ease.

-Syng. Calm down. Said Misty, holding two little blade in her hands and looking at his friend.

The tanned boy was still looking at Naruto with an angry look. Finally, Syng smiled back at the blonde and helped him to get back on his feet. Sasuke, who was watching the silent girl, noticed the daggers disappearing in the coat.

-Oi. So you three came for the exam? Asked Sasuke.

-Indeed, as we told ya! But you haven't give your name to the pretty lady, said Syng as if nothing has just happen with Naruto. Not that I care, I'm ok with Sakura-chan name's only...

-Who do you think you are?! Barge in Naruto obviously jealous.

In a second, Naruto was back on the ground with a sword pointing on his neck, Syng looking at him with a smile rather than an angry face like before. At the scene, Naruto was simply stun, gazing in the empty gray eyes of his opponents.

-What the!? Said Sasuke in a defensive motion. This guy is not like Naruto... he is really strong.

-Stop wasting your time Syng... sighed Tifa, near Sakura who was in an defensive motion too.

Misty walked to Tifa and whispered something at her friend ear. Tifa nodded and looked at Sasuke.

-Oi, Uchiha-boy! Take your pet and Sakura-chan here and show us to the Hokage or sensei please, asked Tifa with the same smile she had since she had first arrived.

Sasuke gasp. How did the silent girl learned his name? There was something about those three...

Sakura finally volunteered to show them the way to the Third Hokage. Once the 3 were registered, the Hokage let them be loose at the conditions not to cause troubles until the first part of the exam, which would takes place soon.

-So... How is Sasuke? Asked Tifa, now alone with Sakura.

Two hour had passed since the Tsurugi ninjas had arrived in Konoha. As the Team 7 was the first people they had met, Tifa felt she kinda had to rely on the pink-haired girl and so brought her favourite topic.

-What do you mean? Wondered Sakura, being now a little more at ease with the feminine girl than at first.

-As a boyfriend... I bet he kiss like no one Tifa said with a discreet blink.

-I'm... he's not... I... Sakura immediately blushes.

Actually, as far as Sakura could remember, the only one who could say how are Sasuke's kisses was Naruto, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know this from that guy...

Tifa start to laugh.

-So this is one-way? You love him but he doesn't love you? And I bet that other Naruto-guy loves you, am I right? Shot Tifa straight.

-How.. Do you... is that so evident? Answered back Sakura, her cheeks in fire from the blushes.

-We've been trained, Sakura-chan. A Ninja mustn't show any emotions... but when a ninja does show emotions, those can help you win a battle in a second, a single blow. We've been trained to watch and analyse carefully those emotions... If we concentrate enough, we can even know the name and age of the ninja. Misty is especially good in that, if you haven't notice...

-I'm not dumb... answer back Sakura, who was now irate of the way the girl talked about Sasuke and her so lightly.

-Don't be mad. Would you show me around until the exam? Asked nicely the darker girl with a smile.

-What about your teammates? I must go see my sensei soon too...

-We were assigned a sensei from Konoha, since ours passed away a short while ago. And as for my teammates... MISTY! Shouted Tifa facing no particular direction.

Sakura turned around and fell on the ground. The silent ninja was already behind there looking at her with mysterious eyes. She definitely didn't like that girl.

-Don't judge me too soon. In a fight, you could regret not to trust me, answer back Misty to the silent comment Sakura thought.

-Misty, damn! You're freaking her out, it's not a way to make friends...

Sakura was now shaking on place, but soon came to her senses at the voice of Naruto coming running at her with the Sasuke and their sensei watching behind him.

-Oi, you again? Where's the other guy? Asked Naruto, carefully looking around. 'ttebayo...

-So you're the genins from the Tsurugi village? Asked the gray-haired sensei looking at Tifa.

-Indeed. And who may you be?

-Hatake Kakashi. I'll show you to your temporary sensei... I think its Gai. Told Kakashi.
