We are heading to a dangerous place, this is the first time I am relying on teammates and also have them rely on me. I'm glad our sensei is Kotaishi, he's awesome and I've known him for a while. He was my baby sitter, he taught me great things, though for the past four years he hasn't been babysitting me because he's busy with S rank missions and what not. Not that I need babysitting but I am the Hokage's son, only a few can be trusted for this task. Ugh I hate the name, I'm not a baby it should be boysitter or something… though it sounds really wrong. And another thing why I am glad Kotaishi is-
''Everyone stop right now.'' Kyosuke demanded.
''What now?'' said Zakuro.
''My legs hurt.'' Kyosuke responded.
''Dude we are being timed, if you can't understand that then please, by all means, stay here.'' I said as I stopped being patient with him.
''He's right.'' said Kotaishi sensei.
''Thank you sensei'' I said as I kicked a rock and placed both hands in my pockets as I began walking.
''No, I was referring to Kyosuke, we should take a moment to rest.'' Sensei said.
''Are you serious? Why?'' I asked while I let out a sigh.
''Because my legs hurt too'' He said as he sat down on a rock. I don't even think we are going to pass the exam.

Oh dear, oh dear Jashin sama, please don't let me be late, please don't let me be late I just need to find a victim before sundown. Damn it, can't I fly any faster? I've got the ingredients for the craft like El Payaso Eugene Jorge Rivera De San Antonio Jr The Third said and these items should do it. I just need a victim… and it has to be a human, just my luck! Oh wait! There's a group of humans there just sitting down… Hmm, which one should I pick? OH! I'll pick the white haired old man for not having a good sense in fashion; he's so colorless, yuck! Though, that scarf is the only thing keeping him alive. This is so exciting, I can't wait to do my first voodoo doll spell! I just need an item from him… Oh, that knife will do, I just have to get close…
[x]
''There he is!'' A man yelled as he was running after me with his companion.
I've been running for like half an hour, why can't they just stop following me? I haven't done anything wrong… yet. I need to go back to that cave, there's some unfinished business there.
''-so yeah Kyosuke, you need to stop whining about every little thing. 'oh my legs hurt' 'oh I am hungry' 'oh we need to stop because it's time for my manicure-'' said the blond haired boy who was interrupted by Kyosuke.
''S-shut up Naru! I don't whine! you're the one who's always trying to belittle me in every way. 'Kyosuke, you're so dumb and I'm so smart' 'Kyosuke is such a loser, I'm such a winner' 'I'm the Hokage's son, therefore I'm always right-'' Kyosuke was interrupted by Naru who was angered.
''That's it!'' Naru exclaimed.
''Oh, just because you are the Hokage's son doesn't mean you decide when arguments should end.'' Kyosuke smirked at him and crossed his arms against his chest as he noticed that the blond boy was furious and that amused him.
''Why you- I will show you how I end arguments, c'mere!'' Naru grabbed at Kyosuke's shirt.
''Let go of my shirt!'' Kyosuke grabbed Naru's hand that grabbed at his shirt.
''Guys, look out!'' the pink haired boy warned.
''Huh?''
''Wha-''
Damn, I have to push this poor little pedestrian, oh well! As I shoved the blond kid who had the raven haired kid grabbed by the shirt I heard a little bit of a smooch, I'd sure as hell turn around to see this but I can't! Those two have Jashin's blessing.
''STOP THAT MAN!''
''I'm on it'' a white haired man threw a kunai at me but I disappeared in time and a gust of flower petals revolved around where I used to be. He stopped because he was bewildered by this and just gave up. The men ran past him and gave him a dirty look for not stopping him, he shrugged at them.
[x]
Oh the soft and sweet lips every boy has always dreamed of, the scent of love in the air mixed with a light essence of vanilla. It would be perfect IF IT WEREN'T MY ENEMY KISSING ME!
''Ok so apparently you both need adult supervision, I turn around for one second and you guys begin to make out!'' Kotaishi chuckled since he knew it was just an accident.
''G-get off me!'' I yelled as I gasped for air from that atrocious kiss trap- that was disgusting!
''H-hey, I was pushed and you-'' Naru tried to calm me down but it isn't going to work.
''I know what happened I just saw it, but it didn't have to take you that long to get off of me.''
''Kyosuke! You forced Naru to-'' Zakuro was interrupted.
''Zakuro, he didn't force me nor I to him, I was pushed and couldn't keep my balance.''
''You're bleeding by the lip…'' Zakuro was worried.
''It's just a small cut, it'll heal soon. Let's keep moving before it's too late.''
''W-what I haven't rested yet!'' Kotaishi exclaimed.
''Not now sensei, we have to keep moving, I'll carry you if you want me to.'' Naru put his arms in front of him as if he were offering a piggy back.
''No no I am fine.'' Kotaishi said as he smiled at the nice gesture.
''Stop blushing over there Kyosuke, we are moving on without you.'' Zakuro said as he noticed Kyosuke was a bit upset.
''What's wrong? Don't tell me that kiss made you question your sexuality, beliefs, meaning of life and-''
''It's not that Zakuro… I just don't want to talk about it right now, I want to forget.''
''Sorry.''
[x]
''Wow, talk about perfect timing~'' I went to grab the knife, it was a bit heavy but at least it's under my possession. Alright where's that paper with the instructions…
Ok I have to take the doll and place it into the circle. After doing so take the doll and chant whilst placing your enemies item upon it, which is the knife in this case…and chant the following placing the doll back into the circle.
''I command you, I control you.
I command you, I compel you.
I command you, I compel you,
I command you, I compel you
Hear my voice!
For what thy enemy has done to me so shall my pain come to them.
Hear my voice, the pain you have caused me I shall cause thee!''
Hmm well he didn't really cause me any pain… Ok the second step is- oh wait where is he going?! Ugh!
[x]
Alright those guys have stopped following me. And why the hell did some random white haired bastard throw a kunai at me? He doesn't even know why I was running! Wait, I don't know why I was running either. Oh well, that stupid Kaldorei better have what I want.
[x]
''OUCH!'' Kotaishi yelped.
''Sensei! What happened?'' asked the boys.
''I-I don't know, I just felt a sudden pinch on my buttocks.'' responded Kotaishi
''Oh my, I love the second step.'' said Crayola to himself.
Huh? What the hell is that little thing? It's all rainbows… Should I poke it with a stick?
''Hehe, feel my powerful gesture you fashionless human! OW! What the hell just poked me?!''
''Haha, what hell exactly you ask? Well the one and only-''
''I don't care who you are, I am being a master brugo, bruno, brudo however you say that stupid word.''
''Are you doing witch craft?''
''What? How'd you know? Are you a brulo?''
''No I'm far worse than that, but you have a voodoo doll and that man is feeling arse pain.''
''Just because I have a doll doesn't mean I'm being a bruto. I am a fairy.''
''You have a needle at its butt…''
''Ok fine, I am a bruto. Just don't tell anyone.''
''What's your name small creature?''
''Crayola, and I already told you I am a fairy.''
''Well my name is Ar-''
''Arden, yeah, I know.''
''Wait, how?''
''Fairies have to know all of the creatures in this world, it took me 3 years to remember everyone's name.''
''Wow, is that what you do for a living?''
''Well, it's part of it, though I don't particularly like it so I went into a quest for power. I saw El Payaso Eugene Jorge Rivera De San Antonio Jr The Third doing some awesome things to people, and they were scared! I'm his new apprentice, soon to be master anyways. Fairies aren't supposed to go against the laws, but I don't care.''
''So, if you are going against your people's laws… doesn't that make you an exile?''
''Oh not yet, my trial is this Wednesday.''
''Ok, so you seem fine with that?''
''Yeah, I mean I killed my light, so I am being tried for two charges.''
''Light?''
''It just means a human I'm guardian of, well it can be any creature but we typically go for humans since they are nicer, some of us call them charge it's the same thing. My light was an ass, so bitch had to go.''
''Woah, language, this is just the third chapter.''
''And my first appearance, gotta look like a badass y'know?''
[x]
''Do you guys smell that?'' Kotaishi sensei asked as he kept sniffing the air.
''No?'' I tried to sniff but only smelled a couple berries.
''Berries!'' Naru ran to grab a handful.
''No, don't eat those.'' Kotaishi slapped Naru's hand away from the berries, he seemed overly protective of him.
''He's right, they may smell good but they are deadly.'' Zakuro seemed to know a lot about them.
''What? These? They are cherries…'' I said as I grabbed one.
''No, it's a Death Chiki, it will paralyze your body and kill you in an hour. It supposedly tastes delicious and can cure any illness. Yeah, at the price of your death of course.'' With that, Zakuro finished and grabbed a handful of it and shoved it in his bag.
''What do you need them for? Are you lying about them and trying to keep them all for yourself? I knew you were a glutton.'' I said as I grabbed a handful as well.
''No, but we might need them. They can be of use; if you get cut they can be used to paralyze the bleeding. It shouldn't affect you though since you didn't eat it, it needs saliva in order to activate its deadliness.'' Zakuro opened his bag in front of me.
''Fine.'' I dropped the berries in the bag.
''That isn't what Kotaishi sensei was smelling, I can smell it too now.'' Naru said as he barely tried to sniff the air around him, I can't smell shit but berries!
''What is it then?'' Zakuro asked.
''A Kaldorei, a powerful one at that.'' Kotaishi sensei said as he looked back at us for a second.
''We should split up.'' Naru said as he noticed there was a wall separating the cave.
''Oh no, no no no no, NO. I've watched many movies, I know what happens when people split up.'' I said as I gulped and fidgeted a little. I can't seem to keep my calm.
''That's good, me and Naru will go this way and you and Zakuro will go that way. Don't worry, he's got some medical skills under his belt in case you get a paper cut.'' Kotaishi said as he nodded to Naru.
''S-sensei that was mean and- HEY! Where'd they go…'' I found a gust of clouds where Naru and sensei used to be that soon disappeared.
''That way obviously, come on, we should go this way then.'' Zakuro picked up his bag and began walking the way he had pointed at.
''Wait, what's our challenge? We didn't even establish the goal or anything.'' I begin to follow him, but I will have to keep my guard up, this place is scary.
''Isn't it obvious? Survive.'' Zakuro made a maniacal laugh and smiled.
''I-I didn't know what I was signing up for…''
[x]
''Whatthehellareyoudoinginmycave?'' A sudden familiar voice came from behind me at a fast paced beat, it sounded as if he had only chanted one word. It had a demonic feel to it, something I'm very familiar with.
''It's me Arden, I'm here for what you owe me.'' I turned around and noticed he was wearing a long cloak covering his entire body and eyes.
''I didn't mean you, I meant that disgusting rainbow puked ball.'' He pointed with his finger at Crayola.
''Hey, I am Crayola, a fairy, not puke!'' Crayola pouted at him as he hid the voodoo doll from him.
''Like I said.'' He began to raise his staff.
''He's with me, well sort of.'' I'm trying to protect this small creature but if he gets in the way I won't lift a finger, I'm here for a purpose and I shall have it.
''Ah yes, then do you have what I want?'' He lowered his staff and gestured at me with it.
''A bag of devil's sand found at the bottom of the deadliest quicksand at Sunagakure, just like you asked.''
''Yes, that will enhance my powers.'' He grinned as I held the bag in front of him.
''I don't care what you are doing or casting, give me as promised.''
''Ah yes, a man's necklace, of some sort.''
''Hidan's necklace.''
''Here it is.''
''T-this isn't his- Hey!'' The Kaldorei had disappeared along with the devil's sand.
''You fool, he left, El Payaso Eugene Jorge Rivera De San Antonio Jr The Third would've caught him.'' Crayola said as he seemed amused at what had just happened to me.
''Geez, how do you even remember his last name?''
''That's not his last name, that's all his first name. I can't remember his middle or last name.''
''Oh my Jashin that's really sad.''
''I know! I can't believe I forgot the last name of a great and powerful person.''
''I didn't mean th- ugh I got things to do, don't follow me.''
''Ok, now I'm going to follow you.''
[x]
''I am so hungry!'' I scraped the wall with my claws as I was angered. I haven't had any food in two days.
''Um, excuse me, do you know where Kaldoray is?'' A small glowing rainbow creature asked as she hid something behind her back.
''Uh no ma'am, I mean, there's many Kaldoreis. You don't know his name?'' I would attempt to eat her, but she's too tiny to even fill in for air.
''Ma'am? That's insulting, I am a man. A macho got it?''
''Oh uh sorry… why do you need to find him anyway?''
''I want to prove I'm strong to a stranger, I need to find it before he does.''
''Oh, how did he look?''
''He wore a long cloak, it covered his eyes… He had a staff that had a green ball at the top. It sparkled like so.'' He shook his butt and it began to sparkle.
''What the actual f- wait, I know who you are talking about. A green ball, it's Reretuac Stoneclaw. He's a lord, a strong one. He owns this section of the mountain. If I were you, I'd forget about what he took and let the other guy handle it.''
''Ah, at least I have a name now. Since he hid his face I couldn't tell who he was. Thanks for the help, oh and for my gratitude, I will turn you into a fabulous minotaur.''
''A-a what? AH-'' I was zapped with too much magic, it blinded my eyes, I couldn't see… but I felt different. Stronger if anything. I opened my eyes.
''Oh so much better. Here's a mirror, you look faaaabulouuuus.'' As he finished talking I looked and I had completely changed. I had pink fur, my manly nipples were pierced, I have red claws, red glossy lips, a surprisingly pretty bow, a dress that didn't cover my nipples, ruby four inch stiletto heels, eye shadow, fake eye lashes and I basically look like a Jessica Rabbit drag queen…
''WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME! I'M GOING TO EAT YOU NOW, MOOO!'' I charged at it and it yelped and tried to fly faster.
[x]
The cave was very dark and humid, there were no lights so I was using my Byakugan and sensei was right behind me, he kept uttering words and I've had it with them. It's weird and getting annoying.
''Sensei stop that, it's annoying.'' I said as I looked at him but didn't see him behind me, he appeared in front of me.
''Why? Does it bother you baa-chan?'' He said as he gave me a creepy smile.
''Get the hell away from me, and I am not a baa-chan.'' I pushed him away.
''Heh, is that any way to treat your sensei? You hurt my feelings.''
''Sorry.'' That's all I could say, really.
''No need, so what happened to your brother?'' He asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder.
''He got shot by a chakra bullet as he pushed Shuuhei out of the way… I wasn't there but if I were I probably wouldn't have wanted to see that, I don't know how I'd react…'' I responded as I noticed that he almost tripped on a rock.
''Ow—''
''Be careful sensei and what exactly are we looking for?''
''A fight or two should be enough to prove our teamwork, the thing is, they knew that this place will make us separate into two. So somehow, we have to regroup in a fight or something. The faster we can get this done the sooner you can see your brother.''
''…wait, then why did we split?''
''We don't know where to go so might as well explore.''
''-AHHHHH!''
''Kyosuke!'' I recognized that scream from anywhere, it was Zakuro's.
''Sensei, the other side, I think they are in trouble.''
''Zakuro, Kyosuke, what happened?!''
''Sensei, Kyosuke… he's, he's-''
[x]
'' Reretuac! Si non sicut locutus est mihi, et ego vobis membra dilaniant audis? (Reretuac! If you don't give me as promised, I will tear you limb from limb you hear me!)'' I've had enough with his stupid maze game.
'' Sicut locutus est tibi dabo, si hoc invenient me? (I will give you as promised, if you can find me that is!)''
'' Leo, sed non apparet? Cadent a verbis oris tui sicut de stercore asinum! (A response, yet no appearance? Words fall from your mouth as shit from ass!)''
'' Ea non delicatus sunt sermónes (Those words weren't nice)''
A gust of smoke surrounded me, there was no response and I knew the gust was harmless. I did however find a map. This bastard wants me to treasure hunt him? I'm not going to waste my time. I knew that was going to happen so I never did get the actual devil's sand, it's just an imitation I bought from a merchant. Guess he'll figure it out on his own.
[x]
''Zakuro? Why did you suddenly stop?'' I asked.
''I sense something coming our way.''
''Well let's hope is Naru and sensei and not anyone else.''
''I'm afraid that's not it.''
''I GOT YOU NOW YOU BALL OF RAINBOW PUKE!''
''After all I did for you?! You ungrateful Minotaur!''
The Minotaur charged at the small glow thing but missed and was headed towards Zakuro.
''W-WAH I CAN'T STOP!'' Cried the Minotaur as he crashed against a giant pillar of some sort. Rocks began to crumble down and there wasn't any time.
''Look out Zakuro!'' I pushed him as a rock had hit me on the leg.
'' -AHHHHH!'' Zakuro yelled, the rest began to fade out.
''Kyosuke!''
[x]
''How's my son?!'' Naruto demanded as the medic kept telling him to calm down.
''He's in the x-ray room but we are waiting for a medic… Lady Sakura didn't check in tod—''
''WHAT?!'' Naruto snapped.
''She isn't in today… there's a lot of people in the ER because we are short on medics, Haruto's condition is very serious and she could be able to handle it. Maybe if you can—''
''I'll bring her now.'' Naruto disappeared.
''WHY CAN'T I BE WITH HIM?!'' Shuuhei yelled at the medics that were trying to hold him back from entering the operation room.
''Sir, please understand that he is in critical conditions and the upmost concentration is needed. We need you to cooperate and stay in the waiting room until further notice for the sake of our work environment.'' said a medic as he tried to calm him down.
''—But!''
''Enough Shuuhei!'' yelled Sasuke as he walked in the room.
''D-dad… it's all my fault I—''
''I'll take it from here'' said Sasuke to the medics as he put an arm on his son's shoulder.
''Do not blame yourself and do not belittle Haruto's sacrifice. He protected you because he cared about you, that's an honorable thing and shouldn't be considered a burden upon the one who was saved.'' said Sasuke.
''I—after all I did today… he still…'' Shuuhei was starting to shake.
''Son, let's sit down and hope for the best. I'll bring you some coffee.'' said Sasuke as he helped his son to a chair.
[x]
''-kura! Open the door! It's me Naruto!'' Naruto kept knocking on it each time making it louder.
''Go away!'' Sakura screamed from inside the house, Naruto broke down the door.
''Why aren't you in today? People are sick and waiting for you, why aren't you doing your job!?'' Naruto headed upstairs, where her room was and waited for a response.
''No one cares if I'm sick or not, no one cares about me. People take days off from work when they feel this way, so why can't I take a day or two off?'' she answered back.
''Because we need you! My son needs you! I need you!'' Naruto yelled.
''What happened to your son?'' she asked.
''He has a spinal and possibly a head injury; we were ambushed today on our way—''
''Is Sasuke ok?''
''Y-yes he is, the point is, I am begging you… to help my son… please, my children and my wife keep the fire in my heart burning, if my son dies… I don't think I can—''
''Can what? Oh, all of a sudden your son is important and my daughter wasn't when she left the village?'' she snapped back.
''We searched for her, for days but she was far gone! We are still looking for her, there's still hope but my son… he's injured, he does not have a fighting chance by himself!''
''Fine, I'll help…'' she said as she came out of her room.
''Thank you Sakura chan.'' Naruto was about to embrace her but she stopped him from doing so, she didn't look at his face and kept her head down.
''Thank me when he opens his eyes.'' she said as Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder and they both disappeared.
[x]
Sakura and Naruto appeared near the hospital, as they enter a lot of medics begin to request help and some begin to hand her files of patients in critical conditions. She looks over at some of them and tells the medics to perform certain tasks for some of the patients until she is able to get to them. She walks towards the emergency room and sees Sasuke giving his son some coffee. The medics that were waiting with Haruto begin to walk up to her.
''What's the current situation?'' she asked.
''We took some x-rays, it looks like he was shot directly at the thoracic spine. Most of the damage there is done from T1 to T10… some of the damage travelled up to the cervical spine's C7 and C6.'' said one medic.
''He also has signs of head injuries, there's a crack in his skull, I assume he hit the floor a little too hard or got hit by something.'' said another medic.
''Since he arrived, he had signs of respiratory failure; he's connected to a ventilator. We have to unblock some of the chakra flow from the spine so that he won't be at risk of paralysis.'' said the other medic.
''He's in serious critical conditions, whoever shot that chakra bullet had a lot of strength.'' said the medic who had come out from the room.
''We'll need to perform immediate surgery.'' Said Sakura as she looked at Naruto and saw his worried expression.
''I-Is my son going to—''
''Have faith Naruto, we will do our best.'' said Sakura as she entered the operation room.

This information is from an actual class I had this year (Anatomy & Physiology) that's if you were wondering where I got it. Also, I give many thanks to my editor Arden Aurelius again, he's helped me a lot on my grammar and he's suggested a couple of different ways to word things that has actually made the story better in my opinion 3
