Chapter 5

Then all of a sudden a huge crash came from the window. A poster was in front of Ibiki now that read, 'Second Examiner, Mitarashi Anko' Anko said, "Let's go to the next exam!" She raised a fist in the air and said, "Follow me!" She looked at Ibiki and asked, "Ibiki, you let 26 teams past? The first exam must have been to soft. Oh, well… I'm going to make more then half of the teams fail in the next exam! I will explain the details tomorrow. We will go somewhere else, so ask your Jounin teachers about the rally point in time. That is all. Dismissed!

Everyone left and all the 9 rookies including Misa, Nozomi, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten and Ai (they were arguing again) met outside of the building. Misa said, pouting, "You guys still didn't introduce us to your friends Naruto!" "Oh! This is Ino, Chouji, and Shikamaru while this is Hinata, Kiba, and Shino and these are…" Naruto stopped. "This is Tenten, Neji, and I'm the one and only Rock Lee!" Said the guy with the fuzzy eyebrows. Nozomi swore she saw him wink at her. 'Don't worry Nozomi, girl he will be in a world of hurt later on.' Nozomi heard Misa giggle, saying, "Hi Rock Lee! I'm Misa! And this" she pointed at Nozomi and Ai. "is Nozomi and Ai." Everyone went silent at the mention of Nozomi's name even Gai's team knew of her. Nozomi thought to herself, 'Oh shit…' Ai was about to break the silence but… "Hey look Marco! There's a small field of flowers!" "Bark bark whine bark!" "Oh okay you were right but still!" Naruto suggested as Misa happily some flowers, "How about we get some ramen!" "Do you ever think about something other then your stomach Naruto?... Oh wait don't answer that." Sasuke said. Sasuke and Naruto started bickering. Ai was getting irritated, "Shut up would you!" She used a water jutsu to splash water on them, then she went back to argue with Tenten. "Let's just get some ramen." Sasuke grumbled.

At the Ramen Shop

Everyone was eating hungrily even Marco was eating most of Misa's food. Misa was looking at Neji and when Neji noticed and looked back, Misa turned away, blushing. Ino asked aloud "What could be the second exam!" Everyone sweat drop. Nozomi and Misa knew for reasons you will find out later. Everyone else shrugged, "Maybe a ramen eating contest!" Everyone sweat drop. Nozomi said, "It's official, Naruto DOES only think about his stomach!" Everyone laughed except for Naruto. After paying, everyone headed towards the park, the night sky was clear tonight. Everyone was either laying down on the grass, staring at the stars or training. Marco and Kiba's dog Akamaru was chasing each other. "They haven't met each other and yet they get along well." Misa said to Kiba, who's hood was down. "Yeah." 'Why does she seem so familiar?'

The Next Day

"Ok bratz! In case you've forgotten I am your second examiner Mitarashi Anko! Behind me is the Forest of Death." Anko started. "In my hands are two different scrolls, an earth and a heaven scroll. Your team will get one before you enter the forest so your objective is to get the other scroll from another team; as in if you have an earth scroll, you need to get a heaven scroll and after you do take them both to the tower within 5 days. During those 5 days, you are not aloud to open the scroll!" Everyone nodded.. "But before you get the scrolls, you guys have to sign this contract saying that it is not our fault if you die!" Everyone signed a similar contract and one of their team members got a scroll. Anko opened the gates after saying, "Make sure you guys don't get ya selves killed!" Every time except Nozomi's started running for a head start. Anko noticed that Nozomi's team was still there.. "Hey, you bratz what the heck are you guys still during here!" screamed Anko. "Shut up lady we're going." Declared Nozomi. Off they went.

"Dude who has the scroll?" asked Nozomi 5 minutes later. Ai and Misa were quiet. "Well?" said an impatient Nozomi. Misa then remembered she had the scroll. "Here." Misa handed the scroll to Nozomi. "Ok people we got an Earth scroll, report." "The cloud have a heaven scroll, the went west." Misa reported. "So does the Rock and Suna." Said Ai. "Well I can sense the Cloud, they're closer. Let's go and if they don't co-operate attack plan snake level 5." Translation: Kick their asses till they do. Ai and Misa nodded and disappeared while Nozomi took her time and walked. "Let's get rolling!"

With Misa and Ai

Misa and Ai were at the moment on a tree above the Cloud team. Misa and Ai then made eye contact and did sign language, it was too risky to talk. Marco dropped the flowers along time ago, he was making sure no other teams disturbed this place.

Ai: You ready?

Misa: Not yet I can't find the person with the scroll.

Ai: You sure?

Misa: Yeah

Ai: Then I guess lets have some fun, well until Nozomi comes anyway.

Ai and Misa jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the Cloud Team. Misa yelled to the other team, "Hey you! Yeah you!" Then Ai and Misa said in unison, "Hand over the Heaven Scroll!" One of the Cloud ninjas responded with, "And if we don't?" Nozomi came from behind a tree behind the Cloud Team and said, "Then we would have to kick your asses." They didn't even care. "Ooh look guys a bunch of girls gonna hurt us, I'm so scared! What the…" He stopped when Misa just walked up to him.

She said as she growled, "What do you mean…punk!" She jabbed him in the stomach then yelled out, "Moki no jutsu!" The cloud ninja stumbled backwards, covering his stomach. 'Don't let go unless…' Nozomi thought. The cloud ninja had let go of his stomach and he fell to the ground, dead. '…unless you want to die.' Nozomi ran towards one of the other and did a double kick – one to the side of the stomach and one to the back of his head. Instead of just letting it go, Nozomi managed to crack the ninja's neck, also dragging him to the ground with her. "Nozomi the last one has the scroll!" Ai yelled. Team Z focused on the last cloud ninja, who was cowering in fear. Misa took the scroll and covered her eyes. Nozomi finished the job.

'Interesting…Misa might be annoyingly jumpy but she's powerful and Nozomi is more ruthless then I gave her credit for.' Kabuto thought as he hid behind the bushes. Then Nozomi yelled something unexpected. "Kabuto just come out we know you're there already." Kabuto was shocked, how did she know he was there? 'Well…being at her level of course she would know. So no use trying to hide.' He thought so he came out of the bushes. "What are you doing here? Trying to collect more information on us?" accused Misa. 'Damn how should I explain? That's exactly what I was doing anyway.' "No." he lied " I came looking for a Heaven Scroll now if you give it to me I would gladly leave." "Ha, fat chance." Said Ai. "Not to mention your asking the girl who killed 500 people am I right?" said Nozomi. That's when it finally hit him it was true, he was asking the very same person who killed 2 cloud members right before his eyes. 'No I wont get killed I will fight back.' He thought. But Nozomi merely laughed, "If you think I'm gonna kill you think again you won't be the 503rd person I've killed in my life so just run, before I change my mind." 'She would really do it.' He thought.

So like the coward he was, he ran. "Did you see that." Said Nozomi. "I know he reeked of snake and Orchimaru." Said Misa. Then Ai said in boredom. "I guess we got a spy on our hands." "Yah, well let's just go before we bump into someone else. Who knew this exam would be so much drama?" Nozomi muttered. So the left for the tower.

At the Tower

"So what do we do now?" said Ai. "Well we opened the scrolls and we're the first team here and we have a whole 4 days to do anything we want." Explained Misa while petting Marco. "How about we find some training ground to pass the time." Nozomi suggested while playing with a kunai. They nodded at the suggestion and left.

At a Training Ground

"Come on Ai! You can do better than that!" Nozomi shouted, at that moment they were sparing Ai vs. Nozomi. Misa she…well…let's just say she found another field of flowers. What they didn't know was Kakashi spying on them. 'Interesting, why does her fighting style look familiar?' he thought. That was when Misa came back with 2 basket filled of flowers. Nozomi saw this and sweat dropped. "Dude did you pick the whole field Misa?" Nozomi questioned. 'Wait that dog looks familiar too.' Kakashi thought. He looked deep into his memory. Then his eyes snapped open. 'No, they can't be…It's impossible they disappeared, and now, I have to tell the others.' Then he poofed away. Fortunately Nozomi saw this. "Shit! We've been spied on!" said Nozomi. "So," Misa said wile arranging her flowers. "So, I used my most well known techniques and the chakra coming from that guy was familiar. As in from out past." Then Misa's eyes widened. 'No!' she thought while Ai was completely confused. "Ai, stay here, we will come back." Then Misa and Nozomi both poofed away.

At the Tower

"Kakashi are you sure!" "Yes I am positive Kurenai." Right after he said that the door burst opened to reveal a fuming Nozomi and worried Misa and Marco. Asuma, Kakashi, and Kurenai bowed. "It's nice to see you two didn't disappear on us, ANBU leader Fox and ANBU leader Wolf."
