The Demon winged Protector Chapter 5: Meeting the Sand Siblings

After a few weeks of some missions, Team seven, or DX as they called themselves now, were in the Chuunin exams, coming up.

"How well do you think this exam is gonna be" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed.

"Dangerous, and life changing, for Konoha itself. I have this bad sense of war, meaning I can sense a big battle coming up. I guess being brought up the way I have will do that" Naruto said. He then heard a cry for help from up the road.

It was The Hokage's Grandson,. Konohamaru. He was being attacked by a sand ninja. Naruto teleported infront of him. The female sand ninaj sighed.

"Told ya, Kankuro. You should have stopped" The girl said. Kankuro growled.

"Shut up Temari" Kankuro said. Naruto simply grabbed Konohamaru away.

"Don't embarrass your nation. You'd be wise not to, if you want to even make it in this exam" Naruto said. Konohamaru hid behind Naruto. Suddenly, a sand figure began to form. Both Temari and Kankuro got scared.

"Gaara of the desert. I've heard much about you" Naruto said. Gaara looked at Naruto impassively.

"You're right. You two, don't embarrass yourselves. But you, are interesting" Gaara said. Naruto smirked.

"Name's Naruto Kazama. Oh, I have a feeling we'll be meeting up again soon enough. So stay out of trouble. I wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun early, correct?" Naruto merely said. The other two Sand Shinobi were shaking.

"Oh this is just Naruto on a normal day" Sakura said. Both she and Sasuke were now beside Naruto.

"Interesting" Gaara merely said. Naruto smirked.

"Your eyes. I can tell. They've the look of seeing and causing many deaths, and wants more. A little forewarning, don't try it around me. I've killed a lot more then you have, and It will take more then just sand to kill me" Naruto said. Team DX turned away from the sand siblings.

Later, at Naruto's home, which was now a common training spot...

Sakura was looking at a Kunai she held in her hand. She clenched it tight. Both boys saw this, and they were both concerned. What she did next, was what confused them.

She cut her hair short, and evened out her bangs.

"I had enough of being weak. This long hair, it was a reminder of what I was doing, and what I shouldn't have done. Beauty is not something for a ninja. We are killers by nature" Sakura said, dropping the Kunai. Sasuke smirked.

"Taking things more seriously now, eh" Sasuke simply said. Sakura nodded. Sasuke smirked.

"There will still be a lot of things to improve. Bu I made a promise to myself, and I plan to keep it. Being you decided to change your attitude, do you think it would be okay, if I...took you out to the movies tonight?" Sasuke sheepishly asked. This shocked Sakura. Naruto smirked himself.

"He was always interested in you, but you just became that much more attractive in his eyes" Naruto said. He then looked at his watch. He panicked.

"Crap. I might be late for a meeting" Naruto said Sasuke sighed.

"With whom?" He smugly asked. Sakura caught on. Naruto smirked.

"You caught me. It's a date I'm going on, with Tenten. She's GORGEOUS" Naruto said. Both his shinobi comrades sighed, while shaking their heads.

"Hey, if there is one thing I know I've learned, is enjoy your personal life. Then again, you're talking to somebody who has had sex before" Anruto proudly said, this shocked both Sasuke and Sakura.

"How? You're only 13" Sakura asked. Naruto smirked.

"Simple. Due to my past, I have been made to look as I am, and the females, as you can see, are easily attracted to me. I'm not gong to hide any fact, that, they want to do me, and do me they shall. It's part of enjoying life. Do what you want, when you want, how you want, while protecting everything you hold dear. Isn't that the DX motto, besides the other one" Naruto simply said. Both Sasuke and Sakura agreed with that statement.
