Chapter 4
With Misa and Nozomi and Ai
Being the smart ones, (well Nozomi anyway) they decided to stray away from the rookie nine and Kabuto. But, stayed within hearing distance. Then Nozomi muttered "Damn." She said it only so Ai and Misa could hear, Marco was out as a guard dog making sure no one came too close or anything. Ai was way beyond shocked she knew that Nozomi could be mean sometimes especially when someone hurts something precious to her, but she never imagined that she could do something like this. "Ai," Misa started, "back at the hot springs you just laughed about Nozomi having the Nibi in her please don't judge her by this." "I'm not it's just… you know really surprising you know." "I guess." "Damn." Nozomi repeated. "What?" asked Misa. "If that card told about all those things why couldn't it tell us our last names were?" questioned Nozomi. Ai spoke up, "I don't know Nozomi, maybe it's because it's his knowledge for the past 4 years?" Misa nodded her head in agreement. "Well maybe but I feel fucking peeved about how they are looking into our past lives and what not you know?" Misa just shrugged. Sure she didn't really like it when people were nosy, but what could they do know? They can't just go up and say he was lying. Kabuto seemed even more surprised, so really what could they do now? Well all they really could do was to see their reaction when they saw Nozomi's card.
Back with Rookie Nine (And Kabuto)
All were silent, they were all too busy gawking at what the card held. "T-that.." Shikamaru managed to stutter out. "i-it ain't possible for a person like that to-" "we know." Interrupted Shino. Everything was the same, well almost. The team yeah was Ai, and Misa while the squad leader was Suoh. 12 years old, first time taking the Chunnin exams for sure. 12 B-ranks, 20 A-rank missions, 200 S-rank missions, 315 SS-rank missions. Her taijutsu is so great compared to Rock Lee or his sensei, it's like a Genin compared to the Hokage. Her genjutsu is the same as Misa and she ain't that great in ninjutsu no." That wasn't what got them hook line and sinker. No her clean slate wasn't that clean. 500 people were killed by that 12 years old. She is also a Genin but by her standards, and Misa's, they could be ANBU's at their age. But by far the people the people that could have, lives gone.
"Kabuto, my gosh! This is not possible! Both of them…it's like they're inhuman!' exclaimed Ino. But what they were seriously missing was the very same people.
Back with Misa and Nozomi and Ai
Misa and Nozomi went quiet after that. They didn't know how right Ino was, that they weren't all that human. Misa for instance can make a mountain form out of thin air. No jutsu, nothing at all. All she had to do was concentrate on moving the ground, no hand seals, and no jokes. It was a freak accident back in Kohana Maru, she was just 5 when it happened. Older kids were picking on her for hanging out with Nozomi.
Flashback
"Leave me alone!" screamed a 5-year-old Misa. "Why should we? For all we know you could be a demon like that blue eyed girl!" declared an 8-year-od boy. "Yeah!" "You freak!" "You should die!" his posy agreed. "No! Leave me alone!" (at this point she doesn't have Marco) Then some kid threw a rock at her head. When it made contact, her head started to bleed… she got angry. The ground started to turn into quick sand under the boys. Screams of "Ahhh!" "What's going on!" "What do we do!" were echoing around the park. Fortunately, Suoh was the first to hear, not another Chunnin or Jounin. What he saw surprised him to no end, he quickly took the matter at hand. He calmed down Misa then went to dig out the boys. They were already to their elbows in quick sand. He left with his pupil, not noticing Nozomi hiding in the shadows of a nearby tree, staring wide-eyed at the very spot Misa went haywire. "I vow that no one else would get hurt because of me. I will protect them, I need to get stronger."" Pledged Nozomi. She then ran to rain.
End of Flashback
(During this time Kabuto has already talked about the Sound Village)
Well you know why Nozomi isn't really considered "human", none the less normal. The Nibi was the problem so far, but you can't really blame it all on her. Well actually you may want to, but other then that, let's move on. "Great…just fucking great!" Nozomi whispered harshly. "I know I ran out of poki!" whined Misa. That said made Nozomi smack Misa across the head again. "Not that you idiot! How the hell do you expect us to tell them about everything huh!" Nozomi whispered to Misa. Misa started to look around frantically, trying to get away from Nozomi's vice grip on her collar." "Ummm…we could…tell them the truth?" Misa managed to mutter. Nozomi just gave her an are-you-crazy-they-would-kill-us-not-to-mention-bring-us-back-to-life-just-to-kill-us-again look. "Well, we got nothing to loose right?" replied an optimistic Misa. "Well, let me see, they could kill us, we could loose our dignity, we could even possibly get banned from here too! Need I go on!" Misa was about to reply when a huge poof was heard at the front of the class room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Said a man with two huge scars on his face. "I am the examiner of the first exam, of the Chunnin Selection Exam, Morino Ibiki!" He then pointed his finger to the nine rookies and Kabuto. When Nozomi and Misa looked there, Kabuto was kneeling and it was clear he vomited. "You three from the Village Hidden in the Sound, don't you do anything you want before the exam. Do you want to fail already?" One that was covered in bandages replied, "I'm sorry, I was excited, since this is my first exam." "Hmm…" said Ibiki "this is a good chance to say this… You are not allowed to fight each other during the exam unless given permission by the examiners. Even if the permission is given, you are not allowed to kill each other. Pigs who go against me will fail immediately. Understood?"
"We will now begin the first exam of the Chunnin Selection Exam. Turn in your applications, take one of these number tags and sit where the number tells you to. Then you will pass out the papers for the written exam." He finished and then everyone did what he said. "Hey I got 54!What did you guys get?" said Misa. Then Ai said, "Hmm… I got 53." They both looked to Nozomi. She just held up her card, 55. They went to their assigned seats. It was like this, Misa sat by Sasuke and Neji, Ai sat next to Naruto and Tenten, and while Nozomi sat next to Gaara and Kabuto. "The first Exam has a few important rules." Ibiki started, "I will not accept any questions, so listen carefully. First rule is you all are given 10 points at the start. The written exam consists of 10 questions, and each is worth on point. This test is a deduction based test. If you get one problem wrong, you will get one point deducted. If you get three problems wrong, your points will be reduced to 7. Second rule, the pass-fail decision will be determined by your team's total points. If an examiner determines that you cheated or do something similar during the test… each action will cause you to loose two points. In other words, there will be people who will be forced to leave this place without their tests being graded. The last problem will be given 45 minutes after the exam begins. You have 1 hour… BEGIN!" He finished. Misa then looks at the test number one. "If a shuriken, point A, is thrown to a tree, point B, what is the total height of the tree when the shuriken keeps aiming higher, 7 inches, for 8 hours." 'WTF!' thought Misa while crying. 'Ok what about question 2, wait what about number 3? How 'bout 4? Ah! I give up I don't even know half of the words used here!' Misa was still crying, when she noticed Neji and Sasuke. Misa sniffed and looked at her test, sneaking a sideways glance at Neji's paper. 'Huh?' Misa was confused at his answer. She was crying again, but a little louder. She suddenly stopped, thinking, 'I can't do this! I can do…'
"Are you a guy or a girl!" whispered Misa, poking Neji. Hue turned to Misa, "What the hell!" Misa looked down, giving the puppy eyes, she was poking her fingers, "I was just wondering…" Neji felt uneasy, "I'm…I'm sorry…" Neji moved his hand to comfort the sad Misa, but stopped. Misa looked up and smiled sweetly at him and turned back to her test. Neji watched as she was trembling with the pencil in her hand, as she whispered something to her dog. Something about her made him think, 'I need to keep a close eye on her.'
With Nozomi
'What to do, What to do?' thought Nozomi. She finished the test after making a clone and turning it into a spider. 'Some dude put "fish" for one answer hahahaha I for a good laugh oughta that one!' she thought. But Kabuto was a little uneasy. 'shit' he thought. 'I'm sitting near two fucking homicidal people this is just great.' Nozomi was at the moment not really paying attention to anything. She was just pushing her pencil up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and "Could you stop doing that it's annoying." Muttered Kabuto he was testing his luck. Would she grab a kunai and kill him or just make a snappy remark. "Why?" Nozomi finally asked. Kabuto not expecting this said "Eh?" "Why?" Nozomi repeated "Why would you tell them all of them about me and Misa? And no I ain't gonna kill you, I jut want to know so just answer…… please?" that was when Kabuto finally noticed something in her eyes. Hurt, pain, loneliness, and fear he suddenly felt guilty about it. "You know what forget it." Nozomi said while shaking her head. So then she just returned pushing her pencil up and down, up and down, up and down, this time Kabuto didn't bother to stop her.
With Ai
Ai was busy writing away on her test. Smoke was literally coming out of her pencil lead as she wrote. She paused on Question 6 and looked for her team mates, Nozomi was laying back, playing with her pencil and Misa was obviously in lala land. 'If she is finished before me, then I don't know why I'm here!' Ai continued the test. "Still not done? Hehehe….." Ai looked to her left, a girl who Ai knew as Tenten was talking to her. "What's that suppose to mean?" Tenten smiled and bragged proudly, "I just finished!" Ai's eyes became aflame and she growled menacingly but turned and continued on Question 8. Tenten glanced at Ai's answers, "That's wrong and so is that and that and that." Ai said as she moved onto Question 9, "How would the examiners know if your done or not and thinks your cheating now?" Tenten clutched her fist and growled. That was when it happened. A kunai whizzed past their heads and landed on a guy next to Naruto. "You were caught cheating team mates of this person please leave." Announced Ibiki. Then there were examiners shouting "45 and 62 fail." "93 and 2 fail" "19 and 82 fail" 'This is getting intense got to focus.' Thought Ai.
Back with Misa
Misa woke back up when Ibiki was talking about the 10th question. Misa dazed off a bit until Naruto went up and yelled out that he won't run away, even if he stays a Genin forever, he's going to manage to become a Hokage any day. Misa smiled to the fact that Ai almost fell out of her chair. "Fir the First Exam, Everyone here… passes!
With Nozomi
'No duh this is too easy! Man they need to learn to make this more exciting' thought Nozomi. "Yahoo!" 'Of course Misa has to get in a fuss about it.' Though Nozomi. She then looked to Misa's direction. 'I wonder when I was ever that happy?' she thought. At the moment Misa was jumping up and down while holding Marco while chanting, "I did it! I did it!" Yeah, she was that happy. "Now where is Ai…' Nozomi spotted her near Naruto, she was still trying to restart her heart after Naruto's little outburst. "Hey Nozomi good job you passed." Said Kabuto while smiling. 'Why the heck is he smiling?' even though Nozomi raised an eyebrow in confusion, but she still nodded her head to him.
Ai
"Dang, Naruto! Don't ever do that again got that!" yelled Ai at a cowering Naruto. He was currently hiding behind his test. "I promise I won't do that again just please don't hurt me!" But Ai didn't hear anything. Her eyebrow was twitching while looking at Naruto's test. "You passed and you didn't answer one single question! Why I oughta…" Then Ai tried to hit Naruto across the head like Nozomi has done so many times. Key word: "tried."
