DISCLAIMER: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NARUTO NOT MY POSESION MASASHI KISHIMOTO OWNS
Your/Kimi's POV*
The memories of your Clone come flooding into your memory as she gets sealed into a scroll.
You laugh at the thought of your fathers face when he realises.
Looking over to Kotetsu and Izumo, sleeping you decide that you should remain awake for the rest of the night instead of swapping duties.
They looked so peaceful.
You smiled and continued to keep watch.
The night goes fast as there are no more chakra bursts.
The next morning you take your team the rest of the way through the forest to get to a temple-looking thing that is in the middle of the forest.
As you walk through the door Kotetsu and Izumo wave to you, before leaving you.
They no longer need to participate in the exams with you.
You open the scrolls at the same time and a clone of Iruka appears.
He tells you about the aspects of the previous test and how you needed physical and mental abilities to pass.
Having reached the finish early you had a while to wander around before the next part of the exams.
You decided to send out several Bunshins so that you could watch the action still going on with the rookie teams and keep your eyes open for Orochimaru.
The Bunshins would be your eyes and ears for the Chunin exams.
Unable to attack they would just sit and watch as the competition progressed.
Walking around the building, you see the sand Nin.
You run over to them.
"Hi guys." You say, waving.
Temari and Kankuro look amazed to see you, Gaara just looks frustrated.
"Where is your team?" Temari asked, looking around.
"I don't have one." You say. "I was an exception made by the Sandaime-sama." (3rd Hokage)
They look at your cheerful expression and smile back.
Gaara just glares.
"You aren't still annoyed that I crushed your itty bitty sand castle? Are you?" you say, mocking the young ninja.
He frowns even more.
"Well." You say, turning on your heel and bounding off.
Days pass and you finally see more ninja arriving.
Watching the rookies come in, you diminish your clones.
Akamaru runs through, and he leaps up to lick your face before Kiba comes bounding in.
"Kiba-kun, Akamaru-chan." You say, smiling and then returning their hugs.
"How long have you been here, Kimi-chan?" Kiba asks looking disappointed that he was beaten by a girl.
"3 days." You smile and tap him on the head.
He looks at you stunned, "So it only took you a day?"
You nod your head and smile wider, "But I was on a team with two Chunin, so I didn't do that much."
"Oh, yeah. That's why." He said, talking to himself.
You run back to the entrance as you see Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura walk through the door.
Sakura looks surprised as she sees you. (After you got sealed by Orochimaru)
You lean over to her and whisper into her ear, "How is he?" pointing to your neck and then at Sasuke.
"Not good." She says, "After meeting Orochimaru, we came in contact with some sound nin." You frown.
'Those stupid ninja, they can't even throw a kunai.' You nod.
Your eyes suddenly grow wide as you notice what bad shape the team is in.
Naruto and Sasuke were both still semi-unconscious, and Sasuke's curse mark was flaming a bright orange.
But the most shocking was Sakura's hair.
It was much shorter and she had strands that still lay on her dress from the recent cutting.
You reach your hand up to feel the softness of the bottom.
'It's a good thing,' you think, 'that her hair is intact.'
You smile and crush the manly Kunoichi in your hug. "I'm so glad that you are all okay."
"Don't worry about us, we can handle it." She says, worry still in her eyes.
You smile back to her before running ahead to the room that all the ninja were gathering in.
Against the far wall of the room, there was a statue.
It was a pair of hands, doing a hand-sign.
There were many important people standing in front of the hands, including your previous proctors.
A fragile looking man steps up, and clears his throat.
Actually he was coughing; he begins to cough more wildly before taming his illness.
"Are they mocking us?" you hear ninja around you say.
You laugh to yourself at the sick man.
He explains that the amount of ninja was extremely high for the exams.
So they would be holding a preliminary round.
You smile at the thought of an extra fight.
The Chunin exams seem to be more fun than you thought.
In the preliminary round you got paired with Kabuto.
You were getting excited, now you could beat something into the Jerk.
Just as the proctor was preparing the fights, "I wish to withdraw." Kabuto puts his hand up.
'WHAT?' you scream at yourself.
As Kabuto leaves, you hear the proctor.
"We shall say that Saito-san has won by forfeit." 'I am going to kill Kabuto for not letting me kill him!'
You sit in the corner watching for the rest of the preliminary rounds.
A pout covered your face.
Sasuke's Fight with Akado
Sasuke was fighting one of the ninja from Kabuto's team.
The ninja was capable of Sucking Chakra through his hand.
You could feel the chakra flowing from Sasuke's body as it got weaker and weaker.
Anko was fidgeting in her seat, probably about the curse mark.
'Don't rely on his power Sasuke. It will bring you nothing but destruction' you tried to telepathically tell the boy.
You watched helplessly as the curse mark flamed up again, covering Sasuke's body with reddish orange marks.
The marks were proceeding to cover his entire body.
You saw the hate in his eyes, that he wanted to stop it, but he didn't have enough chakra to do it.
Then something amazing happened.
Sasuke started to fight the curse mark with nothing but will.
The ninja's eyes widened at the orange marks began to recede.
You smiled as Sasuke performed one of Rock Lee's Tai-Jutsu on Kabuto's team-mate.
After the match, Kakashi took Sasuke to get his Curse mark sealed.
Shino's Fight with Zaku
Shino was fighting one of the Sound ninja.
It worried you slightly, for you knew how they would play dirty.
Shino and Zaku would have to battle, and you knew of Zaku's sound abilities.
Zaku and you had met during his training as a ninja.
He began as one of Orochimaru's test subjects and you knew that Orochimaru would dispose of him in some way.
Poor Zaku.
Zaku had his arms bandaged up and in slings; it seemed that he had been injured by Sasuke.
His curse mark must have taken over for a short while.
You frown to see the ninja running around, trying to dodge Shino's bugs.
'How will he fight, he can't use his arms?'
The fight continues and your eyes follow the movements of Shino's bugs perfectly.
Shino won the fight in the end, he had plugged up Zaku's hands causing the pressure to build up and explode.
"Poor Zaku." You say not thinking.
You look around to see if anyone had noticed.
No one moved.
Letting out a huge sigh, you watch Zaku being transported out of the arena and towards the hospital.
Knowing the chances of Zaku's survival were low, only because Orochimaru would have to 'dispose' of him you follow him to the Konoha hospital.
The hospital was cool and refreshing, much more relaxing than the battle arena.
You check the sign in books at the entrance.
After finding Zaku's name you also see the name of a certain Genin.
"Uchiha Sasuke." You read the name out loud.
'I will visit him quickly' you think, running towards the room.
You quickly stepped through the halls of the large building.
The room was silent; the only sound was the laboured breathing of the boy.
You walk over to the side of the bed.
The boy no longer looked like an 'avenger' but just a normal ninja.
You smile.
You sense someone coming.
You slide under Sasuke's bed, quickly.
Kabuto enters the room.
'Damn this TEME!' you think, frowning.
Kabuto reaches into his pouch and pulls out a kunai.
'What is he DOING?' you freak.
He holds the kunai to the young boys face.
You are just about to get out and stop the teen from killing your friend before someone else enters the room.
This time through the window.
Kakashi holds a kunai to Kabuto's face.
"And what might you be doing here?" the jonin asks him.
"I'm just here for Orochimaru-sama." He smirks under his Anbu mask.
"I should have known." Kakashi says.
Kabuto decides that he should leave and does a dive through the glass window.
Kakashi watches as the Genin falls from the tall building.
'He'll be back.' You think.
Kakashi sighs as he exits through the door.
You crawl out from your hiding place.
"Sasuke." You whisper as you place your hand over his curse mark.
A light green glow radiates out from your palm as his sealing begins to recede into the curse mark.
The pattern around the mark is now much more petite and much stronger.
"I shall see you later, Sasuke-kun." You say as you exit the room.
You begin to head towards the room of the Sound ninja.
It took a short while for the nurses to patch up Zaku's arms.
You wait outside, your feet planted on the high ceiling.
After they leave, you walk into the room of the sound ninja.
"Hi." You say, smiling at the troubled boy.
"What do you want!" he growls, "I suppose Orochimaru-sama has sent you to kill me!" he glares at you.
"Nope. I quit Orochimaru-san's business a while ago, ne?" you smile and tilt your head to the side.
His eyes widen.
"Then why?" he looks to you, emotion in his eyes.
"Because we are friends!" you smile as you step towards him, "And I would like to help you to escape from that teme."
You wink at him, he just stares.
"Nani?" he looks to you, showing hope, "How?"
"Like this." You say, holding out your hand.
He frowns at your cruel joke before nodding as he stood himself up.
"Let's go." You whisper to him as you grab a hold of his shirt.
"Where?" he asks, shock covering his face.
"You ask too many questions." You yell to him as you jump out the window.
He follows you, as he watches the surroundings fly past.
Snakes fly out from your bandages and wrap themselves around his arms.
"Waaahh!" he screams as they stick their tongues into the many holes left from his explosion.
"Don't worry." You say, looking back to smile at him.
He watches as the holes begin to heal, in front of his eyes.
"Wow!" he says, as you smile with confidence.
You continue to pull the sound ninja until you reach the edge of the village.
"I have been perfecting this Jutsu for a while now, Orochimaru-san doesn't know about it so you shouldn't have to worry about him figuring it out. Hold still." You instruct, he does as you say.
The snakes move from his now healed hands up towards his face.
They slither over his skin and begin burrowing.
His face slowly begins to change shape as the snakes slither under his skin.
He can sense the chakra flow.
You smile as you watch it change.
A few minutes pass as you continue your moulding.
"Done." You say, a sense of achievement reaches you as you realise that you just saved this kid's life.
"Huh?" he puts his hands to his face and feels the surface.
"Snake skin?" he asks as he can feel the change in texture.
"The scales will go away, but your face has now completely changed shape." You say, brushing your hands together.
He rubs his face; a smile grows wide across his chin.
"Arigato, Kimi-chan." He smiles, a tear of happiness runs down his cheek.
"Goodbye, Zaku." You say, as he runs towards the nearest village.
Watching your old comrade run off into the distance is saddening.
Until you realise that the preliminaries are still running.
'I'll miss Naruto's match!' you scream to yourself as you run off into the village.
You make it back to the preliminaries to see that the only matches you missed were Kankuro's and Sakura's. You sigh as you sit back down in your corner, smiling at the thought of the happy sound Nin.
Tenten's Match with Temari
Tenten really tried her hardest to defeat the Sand ninja.
She just wasn't strong enough.
But the sand ninja were extremely strong.
Temari would just send all of Tenten's attacks back at her.
The fan that Temari used was designed for chakra manipulation.
She would swing it with all her might, and strength, and the fan would deflect anything thrown towards it.
It was the perfect weapon.
And attack and defence in one.
After about 3 minutes, Temari had Tenten landing on top of the humongous fan, a crunching sound echoed throughout the battle arena.
Temari had won.
Shikamaru's Fight with Kin
Shikamaru won his fight with his brain.
He dodged all of the attacks made by the sound ninja whilst skilfully thinking of a plan.
His plan was simple.
He used his shadow possession Jutsu, allowing him to manipulate the movement of his opponent as to copy his movements exactly.
He got the female ninja to lean back hitting her hard head against the wall behind her, thus rendering her unconscious.
You felt sorry for the Kunoichi, but knowing Orochimaru, he could still use her and she would be kept alive.
There was no need to save her.
Naruto's Fight with Kiba
You watch Naruto's fight carefully; it is the one that you want to see the most.
"Kimi-chan!" Kiba yells from down in the arena, "Will you route for me?" he smiles.
"Sure." You mumble, nodding your head.
His eyes light up with excitement.
You shake your head in disbelief.
Naruto's fight with Kiba continues on for a while.
Everyone looks at Naruto with disbelieving eyes as his strategies begin to show some logic.
You see him planning ahead, and laugh a bit as Kiba mistakes him for Akamaru.
The only bad thing about the fight was the sadness you felt at seeing Kiba hitting his own puppy and realising it too.
The fight ended with Naruto on top and Kiba knocked out.
Naruto looks up to you with awaiting eyes.
You smile to him in approval as the crowd cheers for him.
Naruto is obviously happy with the result and you feel the joy spreading throughout you.
Even if you feel sorry for Kiba.
The final two fights are between Neji and Hinata (very intense), and Choji and Dosu.
You semi-watch them, but doze through most.
You only know that the two that won were, Dosu and Neji.
The preliminary rounds were over.
Everyone drew a number and it decided the final pairings for the 3rd round of the Chunin exams.
You were paired with Dosu, a result that you were pleased with.
This way you could eliminate the last of Orochimaru's followers from the exam.
"The final round of these exams will be held three months from now." States the proctor, "They will be held in the battle arena for all to watch." He continued to explain the way that the exams would work.
You zoned out after that.
Still happy with the way things turned out.
I would love reviews. it would make my day!
