here's the new chapter

The day had finally arrived and all the Jinchuuriki were glad it had. Over the past few days everyone one of the sakura-ninja felt as if they were going crazy! Mostly because of the wait. And another factor called Naruto.

As the sun rose on the day of the exams the Jinchuuriki sat on their beds and stopped meditating. None had slept, none could have. As the sky turned from dark blue to a bright pink the sakura teams got ready.

After a few moments all of them collected on the roofs all of them had their weapons hitched to their backs.

"This is the last time." Kasai said, "Once the test begins we will all be enemies. You all realize that?"

All of the Jinchuuriki were silent. None of them ever preferred to be pitted against each other. And as always it was Naruto who broke the silence.

"Don't worry." He said grinning evilly before placing his hand out in front of him, "I'll become powerful on my own. If I'm ever pitted against any of you, I will give you everything I have. And leave him out of it."

All of them looked at Naruto shocked until they all smiled in understanding. They all put their hands on top of Naruto's.

"Same." They said before all of them ran to the leaf academy.

---

Tobi, Itachi, Kakuzu, and Aoi watched their genin teams head for the leaf academy.

"That was unexpected." Tobi said, "During our training sessions they always seem to call for the demons."

"They're growing into adults and wish to be seen as shinobi. Not Jinchuuriki." Aoi said in her soft voice. Itachi nodded in agreement and Kakuzu made no motion.

"It shall be interesting." Kakuzu finally said breaking the silence that had fell, "especially with your brother here, Itachi."

Itachi seemed to not even have heard him as he watch Hikari's back. He asked himself the same question he had been asking himself over the past few weeks. Why does she fight so hard for me? He wondered.

Shaking his head he turned to the others, "lets go."

They nodded before disappearing.

---

The sakura teams walked into the academy as a group. They walked up the stairs and into a hall where a group of people crowded.

"Let us in!"

"Were here for the tests." They heard people say.

The sakura ninja moved to the front of the crowd not surprised to see two-jonin disguised as genin blocking the entrance.

And there was also a boy with black hair cut in a bowl shape being pounded on.

"Stop it." A girl with pink hair said. The Sakura ninja recognized her and Hikari smirked at the raven-haired boy that was getting a beating.

"Trust us." The Jonin said, "If you can't beat us then there's no way you'll past these tests. We've taken then twice and have yet to pass."

"That's bull shit." Kiba said drawing attention to the sakura ninja. The Jonin's eyes widened in fear when they saw the sakura headbands.

Dana smirked, "although I suggest everyone here just go home." Many of the ninja scowled at her.

"If you can get past this pathetic Genjutsu then you shouldn't even be a genin. This is academy level." Kaira said enjoying the glare she was getting from everyone and the killer intent coming from Sasuke.

Naruto walked over to the raven-haired boy and smirked at him as he lowered his upper body to stare directly into his eyes, "Are you really Itachi-san's brother? Gees, and here I was excepting a real shinobi. Not an Itachi wanna-be." He said evilly.

Sasuke snapped at Naruto's comment. Naruto smirking evilly quickly straightened

"Why you…" he was about to draw a kunai and run it through Naruto's heart when Sakura stepped in front of him.

"At least we don't harbor villains and demons." She spat at him.

All the Jinchuuriki's eyes slit and shifted. Naruto and Hikari's to blood red, Yami's to orange, Dana's turned a brownish red, Kaira's eyes paled into ice blue, Saria's turned reddish black, Gaara's turned black with a four pointed gold star, Neji's pale eyes darkened to pitch black, and Kiba's turned yellow.

Kasai, Furai, and Rei sent out a wave of kill intent that brought all the genin to their knees, if they weren't already. In the end only Sai and the Jonin remained standing. But all three shook like a leaf on a windy day.

"Words to the wise." Kasai said trying to keep her voice steady as she walked up behind Naruto to glare at the younger Uchiha, "Don't piss us off."

"Also. Arrogant people" Yami said as he looked at Sasuke,

"Along with annoying fan girls." Furai added looking at Sakura

"Are the number one people who manage to piss us off." Kaira finished. The genin all looked at them in pure horror until the sakura ninja turned away. Kasai grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled him away from Sasuke.

"I hate Emo-mama boys." Hikari said as they walked away. The Jinchuuriki smiled and willed their eyes to return to normal. But they were disgusted when they heard several of the genin loose their breakfast.

"Pathetic." Gaara murmured as they all walked back into the stair well the climb another floor.

They all made it up and were surprised to see their sensei's waiting for them at the door.

"Was that really necessary?" Kakuzu asked. Saria and Kaira smirked at their sensei as Gaara answered his question.

"They needed to learn, they are not the strongest there is." He said blankly.

Aoi looked at Rei. He shrugged at her, "they were being cocky. And we all hate cocky people."

The sakura Jonin let out a sigh, "well it gave away some of your strength to those in this room." Itachi said looking at Hikari, "and there are sound ninja in there so be weary."

The Jinchuuriki nodded before they all straightened and said, "hai. Sensei"

They then turned away from their senseis and head into the room where the first test would begin. They all stood there looking into a room that was half full.

The sakura ninja recognized rock ninja along with mist ninja. There were a few teams of leaf genin and sand ninja. Gaara recognize his siblings and they wore the same look of shock as all of the ninja present.

They smirked at the shocked ninja and crowded into a dark corner. Waiting for the test to begin.

---

They waited around for half an hour. They saw Sasuke and some of the others they had scared shitless, but completely ignored them.

Naruto was beginning to get impatient, as shown in his fidgeting. Kasai looked over at Naruto and sighed. She walked over to him and leaned on the wall next to him. When no one was looking, she slipped her hand into his.

He stopped his fidgeting instantly and looked over at Kasai, surprised to see her blushing. He smiled and gently gripped her hand as he scooted closer to her to hide their intertwined hands. Kasai blushed a little more and looked away from Naruto. But only the sakura ninja could tell, well only two sakura ninja could.

Neji and Furai both smirked when they saw Kasai's bold move and how Naruto reacted.

But before they could make a joke about it they sensed a pressure of chakra. All the sakura-ninja looked directly at Ibiki, as he told them all to sit down in their assigned seats. The sakura ninja scowled but did as they were told.

Naruto looked at the written test in front of him in disgust. A written test. A written test! Of all the things it had to be a written test!

Breathing in a sigh Naruto looked around him. He saw Gaara and Kaira formed eyes out of their elements that stole answers from others. Looking to his left he saw Neji had his Byakugan active and Furai's eyes had focused on something in front of her.

I see. We need to cheat the answers. Neji and Furai are using their bloodline limits to see the answers. Gaara and Kaira are using their third eyes and the others? He looked over at the other sakura ninja. They all seemed to be meditating, causing Naruto to smirk. I see.

Naruto closed his eyes and he toned into only one persons movements. Concentrating he began to picture there movements and copied them with his own. Before he knew it his test was filled. Opening his eyes Naruto looked down at his paper and smirked.

To easy. He thought.

Kasai looked back at Naruto and saw him in what appeared to be a meditative state. Heh. Even Naruto, our dullest ninja, not only figured out the point of the test. But he got his answers. While others are being too reckless. She thought as yet another person and his team was disqualified.

Ibiki looked at the ninja before him. The sakura ninja are good for their level. He concluded looking at them before shifting his view. But then again he other villages have their share of skilled genin. Lady Tsunade is right, if we can offer peace to the sakura ninja and the other villages maybe we can be ride of Orichimaru once and for all.

"Pencils down." Ibiki ordered. Many of the Genin gulped but did as they were told, "I will now explain the rules for this last question."

Naruto looked at Ikibi as he finished explaining the rules to the tenth question. He couldn't help himself but he had to yawn in boredom.

Ibiki saw this and attacked Naruto with a kunai, which Naruto allowed to wiz by his ear.

"Do fine being a genin for life boring mister Uzamaki?" Ibiki said with venom. Sasuke looked over at the blonde and smirked. He'll get kicked out for sure now. He thought.

"I really couldn't care. You and I both know I could dispose of every wimp in this room. Besides you make it sound so boring and I really didn't sleep much last night, so what ever." Naruto said resting his head on his hand.

Ibiki saw several of the remaining candidates shoot angry looks at Naruto, which he shook off with another yawn. But when he looked over at Naruto's comrades he saw the same bored expression in all of their faces.

Either they knew the point of this test the whole time or they think they can handle it. Ibiki concluded. He looked around at the other candidates and saw determination to go on in their eyes. And his lack of interest in the exams has spurred the others into wanting to continue.

"Hmm." Ibiki said aloud before counting the number of people. Twenty teams remain. Man, Anko will think I'm losing my touch. He thought before taking in a breath.

"The tenth and final question." Ibiki heard several people gulp in preparation, "you all pass the first part of the exam."

Naruto smirked as several people's jaws fell to the ground.

"What?!" a blonde girl screamed, loudly into Naruto's ear. He was half tempted to sew her lips together but managed to reframe himself.

Naruto toned out Ibiki's voice as he explained to the witless dolts in the room the point of the last question. He was about to fall asleep when he felt another spring of chakra. Instinctively he drew a kunai but managed to reframe himself when he realized that it wasn't a harmful presence.

And within moments Anko jumped into the room through the closed window. Quite literally.

"All right you maggots! Listen up! I am Anko and the next proctor of this exam!" Anko said in her drill sergeant voice.

Hikari smirked at the woman as she turned to Ibiki and argue with him about his losing his touch.

"Humph. I doesn't matter. When I'm done only half of them will be left." Anko said smirking at the genin.

Only half? The sakura ninja thought. This... Will be fun. They thought as they smirked at Anko. She noticed them and smirked back.

I think I might like these new heads. She thought looking at one sakura ninja. Hikari's smirk grew when Anko looked at her.

I can't wait. They both managed to think.

--At the Forest of Death--

Hikari looked at the large gate that stood between her and the creatures of the forest. She could hear them within and smirked.

"Where are we?" Sakura asked.

Kiba smirked, "Are you really that stupid?" he asked.

"It's called the forest of death." Neji said blankly as he thought about everything he had heard of the treacherous place, "Filled with creatures created in experiments from the wars. But don't think their normal. I heard most have been mutated somehow."

Tenten looked at him and a blush came to her face. So hot! She thought. And cool. And smart… she continued to list things.

Hikari looked over at Neji, "Really? Sounds like my kind of place."

Anko smirked, "Guess what you brats! For the second part of these exams you will be doing a fight to the death battle simulation. Each team will be given a scroll. There will be two types of scrolls handed out, the heaven and the earth scrolls. Your job is to get the opposite of what is given to you and make it to the tower in the center of the forest within five days. Understood?"

Many of the genin nodded and others seemed to be scared stiff. Anko smirked and threw a kunai at Yami, who had made to reaction at all to her. Yami saw the blade coming and was only able to move enough to get a small scratch.

Anko appeared behind him, "you all should be careful. Some have died in this part of the test and…" she was cut off when something sharp was pressed into her back. Looking behind her she saw two pissed ninja.

Hikari had the same kunai Anko had thrown and was glaring at her, while Dana had a clay spider on her palm that was almost in her face.

"Touch him, and we'll kill you." Hikari said trying to keep herself calm and not throw out a kill intent that may accidentally cause the other genin to go insane.

Anko smirked, "aw. How cute." She rested against Yami who had yet to move, "are they your little girl friends?"

Looking back at Anko, Yami smirked, "no they are my sisters and they can, and will, kill you." He said coolly. Anko saw the other sakura ninja smirk.

"I'd let it be." Naruto said, "Dana-san's attack at that range could kill any shinobi and Hikari is the fastest of us all. They could kill you all o quickly."

Lee looked at Hikari and saw the blank hate in her eyes. The fastest of them all? If that is so. Then where? Where would I be among them? He thought recalling when he had first seen Hikari. He felt a bit of sweet slid down his face.

Anko looked back at Dana and Hikari, "humph. Well at least now I know why people call your village the Demonic Flower." She said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Come sign in and get your scrolls along with your gate number. Once you have those wait at your gate. The opening of the door will be the beginning of the test." Anko said from atop a branch of a tree that she had reappeared on.

Hikari threw the kunai at the tree and walked with her team to receive their scroll and gate number.

One thing is for sure. Anko thought. They could have killed me the minute I threw that kunai, but didn't. I wonder why. She looked down at Hikari. Why did she stop the other one from attacking me? She thought somewhat troubled.

---

Hikari, Dana, and Yami waited by their gate for the test to begin when Yami spook.

"Why did you stop Dana from attacking that leaf ninja?" he asked his twin, "you saw the attack no doubt."

"Hmm." Hikari said as she sat down and leaned on the metal fence, "why? I'm asking myself the same thing."

Yami looked at his sister surprised. It wasn't every day she did something without thinking. In fact, this was the first time.

"My body just moved. I don't know. Half of me wanted to kill her for attacking you but the other half didn't. Its so odd." She said looking up at the cloud dreamily.

"Who the hell are you?" Yami and Dana asked in unison, " and what the fuck did you do to Hikari?"

Hikari looked at her team and smiled, "I guess part of me likes her. after all, I can easily see myself growing up to be like that."

Yami and Dana looked at each other and thought it over. now that I think about, see probably will end up like that. Yami thought.

He let out a sigh, "great. Another sibling to get use to." He said as the gate door opened. The rock Jinchuuriki looked at the gate and smiled, "but first lets be the first team to pass this dumb exam."

Hikari and Dana nodded and they all ran into the forest, eager to begin.

---

Anko looked at the report she had been given about the teams in the forest night progress. She nearly spat her tea all over the Chunin who had given her the report.

A team of mist genin looked like a human pincushions with senbon being the pins. The third team had intense burns all over their bodies. The third team had almost been crushed to death. And the last group of genin had almost been cut clean through? She thought rereading the report.

Anko set the paper down and wasn't surprised that she was being called away to welcome another team.

She appeared in the tower, not surprised to see the last sakura team.

"Well well." She said appearing in front of Hikari, Dana, and Yami, "You sakura ninja are formidable. All four of your teams passed in fewer than twenty-four hours since the beginning of the exam. I'm impressed."

"I guess that means we were last, eh?" Dana said before shrugging, "Oh well."

Hikari scowled, "Damn this means Naruto No Baka beet us. How pathetic."

Anko smirked, "At least you weren't nearly sliced in two." She said noticing the shing swords attached to Hikari's arms.

Hikari looked up at Anko. I guess they don't want deaths even though they say it can and might happen. She thought before Anko turned her back to the sakura ninja.

"Anyways. The test is still going for the others. You have about four days to rest while you wait. Well, see you." Anko said as she disappeared.

Demon's flowers, eh? She thought, They certainly are fearsome. But even so, I have yet to feel any presence of their demons. Are they not really the Jinchuuriki? Or have they learned to suppress the demon?

Anko continued to ponder this while waiting for more results of the other genin.
