Okay so i dont own anything naruto! except kohaku.

Naruto, Sakura and Kohaku were making their way to the stadium, the very same stadium that the Konoha 12 took their first Chunin exams in. Tsunade had finally gotten everything ready for Kohaku's ranking test. There was going to be fighting, lots of it. As they entered the arena, the three cousins noticed the other 9 members of their little gang, along with the Hokage and the Senseis.

"Ne Ne, what are you guys doing here?" Naruto blurted out.

"We are helping with the testing. What a drag." Shikamaru explained with a sigh.

Sakura gave a confused look to the Hokage. "They are all helping?" She asked.

Tsunade crossed her arms and nodded her head. "Yes, they are. I didn't want to put together a huge elaborate thing, so we are going to have Kohaku battle all of you guys. Or go until you can't go anymore. But we want you to give it your all, so no holding back. And that goes for everyone fighting today. You are permitted to have breaks between fights if you would like, we don't need you running yourself into the ground." Tsunade gave a sly smile.

"So, depending on my performance during each battle will determine my rank? And I only have to fight till I can't fight anymore? So Chakra exhaustion or broken bones basically?" Kohaku asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

Tsunade just gave a quick nod.

"Piece of cake." Kohaku looked over her shoulder at the group of 11 with a smile. "No offence."

"So, are you ready to begin your test?" Tsunade questioned.

"Yes Hokage-sama."

"Alright who would like to go first?" One bandaged covered hand raised their arm before the word "like" was even uttered.

"Hokage-sama! I would like to go first and show Kohaku the Power of Youth!"

Kohaku was startled at how loud the voice was and turned to see a boy with a green jumpsuit and orange leg warmers? His black hair was in a bowl cut fashion and he had huge eyebrows to match. He was wearing a Chunin vest over the jumpsuit and his forehead protector was around his waist. Either this guy was very strange or very strange.

"Alright Lee, you can start us off. Everyone else can go up to the waiting box." The others made their way to the staircase as Lee walked closer to the Hokage and Kohaku.

"Hello! My name is Rock Lee! I hope you do well against me!" The boy gave a thumbs up and his teeth gave a ping! Oh lord, this boy really was crazy.

The red head gave Lee a small smile, "Thank you, I hope I do well too."

Lee got into a simple stance, two feet together, left arm behind his back with the other straight in front. Kohaku bent her legs and had both arms slightly in front of her body with her knuckles sticking out.

Kakashi placed himself in the middle of both combatants. "Okay you two, I am the referee, when I say stop you stop. Fight hard but don't try to kill each other." The lazy ninja raised his arm and brought it down.

"Begin!"

Lee shot forward and jumped, the boy began turning in the air with one leg straight out. "Leaf Hurricane!" Lee's foot struck Kohaku's face causing the girl to- wait, why was she still standing there?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to hit me? Why don't you try it again?" Kohaku said with a smile sliding into her stance again. Lee turned around and ran straight to the girl and threw a punch to her stomach. Kohaku doubled over and phased right threw Lee's hand? Turning to the boy she kicked her leg around the back of Lee's knee, making him fall backwards as she spun back the other way before slamming her hand into the boy's stomach.

Lee flipped over on his hands and knees and jumped away from Kohaku. After a few deeps breaths he gave a toothy smile causing his teeth to ping again. "You are a very sneaky person. You doubled over on purpose didn't you?"

The girl gave a smile, "Yes I did, to make you distracted. I'm only amateur at Taijutsu, but when you play your cards right, even the amateur can beat the master." Lee gave a nod. "That is correct, but I am not going to let you fool me anymore."

Lee shot forward again and aimed a kick at the girl's head but instead of phasing through him, the red head brought up an arm and blocked his kick. Following his momentum she gave a 360 spin away from him and brought her own boot enclosed foot into his side. Lee was pushed back a few feet. Amateur she may be but dang she was good at Taijutsu either way.

Kohaku burst forward and used Lee's back as a springboard to spin her body around Lee's stomach twice then putting her hand to Lee's neck she brought her feet to the ground and gave a fierce push causing the boy's weight to help slam him to the earth. She brought her hand to his neck and pointed two fingers to his artery.

"I win!" Kohaku chirped with a smile.

Kakashi stepped forward. "Winner Kohaku!"

The audiences in the crowd were flabbergasted! Lee was taken down in a straight Taijutsu match in 5 minutes! It wasn't possible! No one could do that, not even Neji his teammate could take him down that fast.

'Wow. Amber. Good' Akamaru barked out. Kiba broke out of his trance when he recognized the new word that his dog used for Kohaku. "Yea she was, wasn't she boy?" Kiba turned back to the arena but he couldn't fool his canine companion. Akamaru knows he saw a slight blush when he mentioned her name.

"Holy cow! Sakura did you see her totally annihilate Bushy-Brows! It was like she wasn't even trying!" Naruto shouted with a wide grin on his face.

The pink haired girl had just nodded with a very surprised look on her face. This was going to be an interesting afternoon.

While the others were chatting amongst themselves, Shikamaru walked his way down to the arena since he decided to go next and get it over with.

The genius knew he could probably take her down easily, she was locked away for 16 years how talented could she be? There was no way she could beat all of them, was there? Shikamaru usually wasn't one to judge others so fast, but there was no plausible way for this girl to beat him. Hopefully he could win fast so he could go watch the clouds; they were looking very relaxing right now. 'How troublesome.'

Kohaku waited patiently as the next person made their way down the stairs, the boy was wearing what looked to be the standard black shinobi uniform and sandals with fish nets. His Ninja headband was sewn into the right shoulder of his shirt, and he was also wearing his Chunin vest.

'Somehow he doesn't look like the kind of guy who would want to wear that thing.' With the slight scowl on his face she was guessing that he really didn't want to be there. Kohaku smirked a little and put a hand on her hip. 'Well that just sucks for him.'

Shikamaru took his sweet time getting to the center of the ring with his head facing the clouds. He really just wanted to go rest under a giant tree and do nothing, was that too much to ask for? When he finally got to the center he brought his head down to look at his opponent. Already he had formed hundreds of different way to defeat her; he didn't need to know what kind of jutsu she had, it still wouldn't be enough to win- did her eyes just flash red? The genius just shook it of a light thing.

The red head gave a scoff. 'I wonder if he saw it. You think you can beat me, but you don't know a think about me do you, but now I know everything about you Shadowboy.'

"So Shadowboy, are you ready to lose." The girl had great satisfaction in watching him look up sharply with that bewildered look on his face.

"Start!" Kakashi shouted as he jumped away from the two but both combatants didn't budge. They just stood and stared.

"So, you think I will lose just because I was locked away for 16 years huh? Well then you better get started mister so called genius, because right now you're not doing so hot." A kunai whizzed right threw the girls face causing her to disappear. Giggling could be heard echoing in every direction. "My my, your gonna have to do better than that." The boys scowl just deepened. This was going to take way longer than he thought..

Kohaku was enjoying herself thoroughly. This boy was supposed to be a genius? She remembered Naruto and Sakura telling her about him. He was a tactician, but weren't tacticians' supposed to collect information before even trying to act all smart and stuff? What was the point of brains if you didn't use them right? In the stories of him defeating Hidan, an Akatsuki member and Tayuya from the Sound four, he had collected his info and used it to the best of his abilities. Right now thou, all he was doing was getting himself frustrated. He was throwing Kunias at the smallest sounds and flinching whenever he stepped on a branch. The girl looked up into the view deck and the yelling spectators. 'Apparently his friends can tell he's not acting like himself.' Well then it was time to stop fooling around.

Shikamaru cursed for who knows how many times. He was tired of all this flinching. 'What is wrong with me? I stopped throwing Kunias as soon as I saw those wires Kohaku was using, but I still can't stop flinching when I step on these twigs.' Shikamaru gave a huge sigh as he looked around the arena once more trying to find the red head. Why was it so hard to find red hair in the green leaves? *snap* Shikamaru flinched again before looking up to see all of the projectiles heading his way.

'How troublesome, that one was rigged.'

Kohaku was crouched in one of the trees that occupied the arena. She was waiting for the perfect moment to jump in and plan her victory. The brainiac was jumping and twisting out of the way, but wasn't very successful in most of them. The girl had placed the traps in very precise locations to hinder as much movement as possible. The red head was very happy with her handy work. 'And that was my first trap ever.' Kohaku focused back to the objective at hand. He was right where he wanted her. As obvious as she could make it, the girl burst out from her hiding place in the trees and landed right in front of him.

Shikamaru had heard the noise way before he saw her burst from the tree. He prepared his shadow and launched it right as she touched the ground.

"Shadow Bind: Success"

Finally she was captured. He could go watch the clouds now, he cou- why in heavens name was she smiling.

"So, you think you caught me huh?"

What was she talking about? "Uh, yea I did." Smart reply.

The girl just closed her eyes and gave a sigh. "You may be a genius, but you are not very bright. Were you even watching my match with Lee. That's his name right? Oh well, you obviously weren't watching. Because you would have realized Shadowboy, that you can't beat me. To start off with you thought I couldn't win because I was locked away. You thought that you could beat me cause I didn't have a jutsu that could beat yours which makes no since. What kind of tactician thinks like that? Did you see my eyes turn red before the battle started?" Shikamaru flinched, "Oh so you did, and you didn't even question it? Mind's eye of the Kagura. One of the doujutsu's that I have; it allows me to find and sense Chakra, it's great for tracking and finding out the types of ninjutsu used by others. Why do you think I called you Shadowboy? You really shouldn't judge others.

Kohaku smirked before disappearing in Shikamaru's shadow while whispering, "Ninjutsu: Silent Camoflague."

The genius couldn't feel her chakra anywhere and ended the jutsu, only to end up flying back into the wall behind him. There was a strange pressure on his neck that gave him difficulty in breathing. He brought his hands up to try and move the strange sensation.

"You really shouldn't let your guard down so much Shikamaru. You just lost." Kohaku materialized directly infront of him with her right leg straight out into his throat.

"Winner Kohaku" Kakashi yelled on the other side of the arena. The girl brought her foot away from the boys throat and gave a smile. "Maybe next time, you will fight me for real?" With that statement she walked back to the center for the next fight.

"Troublesome."

Mind's eye of the Kagura: this jutsu belongs to Karin and since she is an Uzumaki I decided to have Kohaku have a different version. Were Karin can track, sense and find the Chakra, Kohaku can do the same and also basically tell what kind or techniques ther opponantes have.

Ninjutsu: Silent Camoflague: Jutsu that belongs to Muu who was one of the reurrected ninjas in the war. the jutsu lets Kohaku become invisible while making her chakra inpossible to find or track.
