I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

So bored…nothing to do…nobody to talk to…so entirely bored…

Stupid Chuunin exams. The stupid exams I couldn't enter.

It was the day that everyone had gone to the Chuunin exams while I was outside waiting for something to happen. I was lying on a branch high in the tree.

I had already tried reading Kakashi's books…tried.

I didn't get very far in it when I wanted to chuck it away. I didn't know he'd be interested in sappy love stories. I could see the perverted-ness but not a LOVE story.

I had to give the books back in top condition though because they didn't belong to me.

But now I was so bored. Bored enough to almost take out his books again and start reading. Almost.

The first exam was going to be a written test. I was waiting for someone to come out with either the news that they passed that one or failed it.

So far a few teams would come out seeing as they failed. Nobody that I knew though so it sucked. A few would glare at me if they saw me. I would just glare back. Sometimes I would want to stick my tongue out at them but didn't.

Eventually I think I fell asleep because when I opened my eyes, the sun was in a different position. I groaned slightly as I sat up.

People were standing under the tree. I could sense them. I looked down right as they quickly killed three people.

My eyes widened as I saw them do something VERY disturbing. I couldn't see properly but it looked like they took their faces off.

I couldn't suppress a sharp gasp.

They looked up and my eyes widened. Now that I have witnessed something like this, I was sure to die. Joy.

I turned to run for it but I heard a sort of 'whoosh' sound and someone had my arm.

"Now can you tell us why a pretty little girl like you would be out here on a day like this?" they asked with a sort of strange tone in their voice, "It's the Chuunin exams after all."

"I can't compete," I said while glaring at him, "Now let me go."

The person only drew me closer, "And why can't you compete?" they asked. I couldn't really make out if they were a girl or a guy. Well the face they took looked like a girl's…

"I don't know," I said, "Ask the Hokage if you're so damn interested. Now let me go!"

"Hmm but I think you DO know," they said with a creepy smile on, "Now why don't you tell me?"

I rolled my eyes, "And why do you care?" I asked.

They shrugged slightly, "I am just interested," they said.

"Let me go," I said, "Unless you really want to see why I can't compete in the Chuunin exams."

They raised an eyebrow, "See? I thought there was just a specific reason. I didn't know there was something to 'see'. Now why don't you just tell me?" they asked.

I was getting ticked off, "Just let me go," I snarled.

"Ohh you have a temper," they said and I was starting to get the feeling it was a guy, "But I don't think I can let you go since you saw that little…incident."

The person's grip got stronger on my arm. That was going to leave a mark…

My other hand started to glow purple and I quickly ducked down to just touch the branch we were standing on.

"Now what'd you do that for?" they asked.

I focused my chakra in my feet and walked slightly up the tree's trunk; the person still had their grip on me so it wasn't that far.

Then I brought my free hand to my other hand, making them clap.

I didn't want it to be such a big explosion since I was still relatively close.

That caused the person to let go of me though, as we both went in different directions. I fell to the ground on my back but I quickly got to my feet.

The other person had landed on their feet. Then, running at a high speed, 'he' ran directly at me. I tried to dodge but 'he' just changed 'his' direction in time to come barreling at me.

The person had me pinned down to the ground and was hovering slightly above me.

"I think I've seen that attack before," they hissed, "But that was a long time ago. Now to see if it's true."

He had my arms pinned down so I couldn't stop him when he reached up to yank my mask down from my face. The person smirked.

"Yes that means it IS you," he said and got off me. I quickly pulled my mask back up.

"What do you mean? I haven't seen you before," I said while glaring at him.

He looked amused, "Yes well I know a lot about your family and I knew who your mother was, even if it was briefly before the attack," he said, "I'm sure you know what I must be talking about."

"And what if I do?" I asked.

He shrugged slightly, "Well I think I'll be seeing you very soon," he said and started walking away. But then he turned and looked at me again, "But you can go with him if you want. In fact, I'd rather you do."

Then he left. Seriously left this time.

One thing I knew, he sure had a way of making me confused…
