I think I rush through this...oh well, hope you enjoy and reviews appreciated!
Yuki woke up to the sound of screaming and whatnot and he groan. Looking at the clock, he saw that it was 10:00 'o clock in the morning.
Sitting up he walk towards his bedroom door and peak outside. What he saw scared him and he slam it close. 'What are they doing here?!' he cried inside his mind. He was soon thrown towards the other side of the wall when Jin burst in. "Happy birthday teme!" Jin shouted with his arms wide open.
Yuki got up from his position and stared hard at the blonde hair boy. "What are you doing way over there?" Jin asks cocking his head. Next to him peak in Rika, Taiyou, and Midori. "Yuki-kun!" Midori cried and ran over to him hugging him.
"Midori…get off." Yuki growl out. Right now he's not in the mood still wondering why the heck everyone was over at his house. "But Yuki-kun! It's your birthday, don't be so down!" Midori said pulling on him.
Yuki pull his arm away and glared at the wall. Midori only pouted and look over to Jin. Jin sighs nodding his head. "Yuki stop being an ass and come out. Everybody waiting for you."
"Yuki-kun…I don't really know why you hate your birthday so much, but don't become a hermit because of it." Taiyou said. Yuki slowly turn his head and glared and Taiyou only sigh. "Besides, you're out number." Taiyou pointed out. "Hai! Come on Yuki-chan!" Rika said hopping over to Yuki.
Yuki grumble something before he felt like he was being lifted off the ground. "Wha-! Let me go Chouji oji-san!" Yuki cried out. "Do you really think my father will let you go that easily? And be grateful we brought good food over!" a voice yelled out. Yuki turn to see Akimichi Arata.
Arata as usual had a bag of chips but he was grinning widely. "Yuki-kun, like Taiyou-san said you don't want to be a hermit." Chouji said smiling. Chouji hasn't changed a bit, except maybe got bigger. When Chouji finally drop Yuki, he was on the couch and he look up.
Everyone was grinning at him and he can see that almost everyone had come. Inuzuka Kiba with his daughter and son, Kyo and Chihiro. Hinata, Naruto, Shino with his son Daichi, then there's Neji, TenTen, Rock Lee, Isamu his son, the senseis, Tsunade, Shikamaru, Ino, Sai, and Yuki finally notice Ito as well.
"You came back…" Yuki stated flatly. He also noted the bandage on Ito's right cheek and around his neck. Ito also had bruising over his right arm and his left arm was bandage up. "You look like you came back from hell."
Ito sighs and stared at Yuki. "I probably did." he simply stated but he smirk. "Are you going to try to kick us out like last time Yuki?" ask Asako who appeared behind Ito. Yuki grimace and stare at everyone around the room. "Like Taiyou-san said, you're out number." Eiji said after smirking at him. Yuki glared at him and scowl. "Why must you guys make it so hard for me?" Yuki question rubbing his head.
"We're making it hard for you? You're making it hard for us, you and your stubborn ass." Shiro commented. Ino immediately hit him on the head and Shiro scowl. "Language Shiro, there's little kids here." "Hai kaa-san…" Shiro mumble rubbing his head. "We're little kids? Are we little kids Rika?" ask Hoshiko. "We're the youngest…" Rika told her cousin whispering. "Geez…that sucks." Hoshiko muttered.
"Oi oi! Since Yuki's awake, let's celebrate!!" Naruto shouted out loud and everyone cheered. Yuki only shook his head but his small smile went unnoticed among the group.
--
As the evening near, Yuki was standing on his balcony alone. He sighs as he swirl his cup of juice staring at the setting sun. Some people had gone home and he actually enjoyed himself.
"Um…Yuki-kun?" a voice whispered. Turning he saw Taiyou and he nodded his head. Taking that as a yes, Taiyou join him. "Uh…well happy birthday!" Taiyou started. Yuki turn to her and blink. "What do you want Taiyou?" he ask. Taiyou sigh and lean on the railing staring at the sun. "Well…I just want…here." Taiyou grab his hand and handed him a box.
"I'm going to go, that's your birthday present…bye." Taiyou said before disappearing back into the house. Yuki confuse only shrug it off and also walk inside. Opening the box, he was surprise to see a red and white fan and a little note.
'Beware his lawful questions and his spiraling red eyes.'
'What the heck does that mean?' Yuki question raising a brow. He shrugs it off and stares at the red and white fan. It was simply drawn on paper but he felt like he seen this before.
Suddenly Yuki sat up and his mind click. 'It's the same fan on that Uchiha's back!' Yuki got up and he look outside his room. Some people were still here and forming a plan he grab his jacket from before and jump out the balcony.
A few minutes later, Yuki arrive at the Uchiha estate. He can sense that more guards are patrolling and he's certain that area is guarded as well. 'How can I get back inside there?' Yuki question but he then saw an anbu nearing his way. An idea pop into his head and he hid behind a bush with his hand surrounded with green blue chakra.
Jumping out suddenly, he quickly hit the unsuspecting Anbu on the back of the neck knocking him unconscious. "Gomen." Yuki muttered and drag him back into the bushes. Grabbing the mask and the cloak, he disguises himself as one of the guards and walk right out in the open. Nobody suspected a thing.
Making sure nobody was around, Yuki slip past them into the Uchiha's ground. Pulling the mask off, he notice the walls had the same fan like the drawing. He then came to a stop to a fan with a mark in the middle. The same mark where Itachi threw that kunai.
"Its crack...and this place…" turning he looks at the house and walk inside. The place was a bit dusty and looking around, he saw the kitchen, the living room, and reaching outside, he saw the same place that Jin and himself came here the first time.
"It's the same house." Yuki whispered and turning, he saw that room where he saw that vision. Avoiding it, he turns back inside the house and walk upstairs. It was already getting late and he was tired all of a sudden.
Opening a door, he realizes that it was a room. Walking inside, it was medium size and there was a bed in the middle of that room. Being too tired to walk back home, he decided to lay down for a bit, and then maybe he can get his energy back.
--
Sasuke has gotten past the guards fairly enough. Arriving at the Uchiha estate, he let his disguise down. Walking towards his old house, a wave of nostalgic emotions hit him. Opening the door, he immediately felt another presence in the house. Walking inside slowly, he felt that this chakra was familiar and it was at a relax state.
Walking upstairs, he felt the presence was in his former room. Opening it he saw Yuki lying down asleep. 'What's he doing here? It's already 1 in the morning…' Sasuke wondered.
Walking over to him, Sasuke stare down and notice how Yuki's face resembles Sakura no matter how many times he heard that Yuki looks like him.
"Are you really mines?" Sasuke whispered. He froze when Yuki shifted and notice sweat beading down his forehead. Sasuke heard a faint whispered of "kaa…san…" and clench his fist. Something had happen to Sakura yet what?
Yuki fell into the dark void and it seems like he isn't going to stop. Unconsciously, he stood up and stares all around him. Everything was black; he can't see anything, not even his own hands.
'Yuki-kun…' he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Looking around despite the darkness, hoping to see something. 'Yuki-kun…aren't you tired?' 'Who are you? Where are you?" Yuki shouted. 'You should know already…now go to sleep. You seem tired…' that bittersweet melodic voice said. Yuki felt a wave of heaviness and couldn't help but drop to his knees.
'Now that's better, lay down so you can have a nice long sleep…' the voice said. Yuki eyes seem to get heavy. He yawns and started to lie down.
Sasuke blink and saw the markings all of a sudden spreading. They were on Yuki's face now and Sasuke narrow his eyes. Reaching out towards Yuki, something shocks him making him retreat his hand quickly. 'Don't interfere Uchiha Sasuke…' a voice said whispering in the room.
Sasuke narrow his eyes looking around for the source of the voice. It was the same sweet melodic voice that Yuki is hearing now in his dreams. "Who are you?" Sasuke ask. When he didn't get an answer, he said it louder. "Who are you?!"
'Why do you care? You have your own goals, stay out of mines…' and with that, Sasuke was all of a sudden push back and slam into the walls. Growling he glared at Yuki, but specifically at the marks.
Yuki thought he heard something but ignore it as the heaviness down on him. 'Now sleep…' the voice whispered.
Yuki almost did until a loud voice shouted out. A voice that he recognize. "Yuki-kun don't!" Bolting almost awake, he sat up on his knees. "Don't listen to him, if you do, you'll lose yourself!" Yuki immediately recognize that voice fully stood up and look around. 'Kaa-san…is that really you?' 'Don't listen to her Yuki-kun, she's just disguise herself so you would believe her.' the voice said calmly.
"Yuki-kun please, you have to defeat this darkness, if you don't, everyone will die. So please believe me." the voice said. 'Do you really expect to believe the dead?' the bittersweet voice said, anger obvious in his tone.
Yuki sat in silence clenching his fist, clenching his teeth. 'You're wrong…she's not dead…I know she's not dead…' Yuki said more to himself. 'Where are you…kaa-san?' Yuki ask forcing back emotions. "You already know where I am. You just have to remember…"
'Yuki-kun…come…go to sleep…' Yuki gritted his teeth and grab his head. 'Leave…me…ALONE!'
Yuki hastily got up, sitting up and panting. Looking to his right, his katana was still there motionless. He swore he felt someone else here. Getting up and grabbing Fuyu, he made a break to the door. Opening it, he look around. He sigh and lean against the wall sliding down. He was holding his head as he recall his nightmares.
'It…felt so real…' he muttered before getting up again. Looking outside, he notice that it was really late. "Damn…I stayed here too long." and getting up he left the house. Unnoticed by him, two red eyes stare blankly at his back. Sasuke hung loosely upside down from the ceiling as he watch as Yuki disappeared downstairs. Sasuke jump softly to the ground and he look at his hand. 'I thought…I heard Sakura…'
The next morning as usual was loud for Yuki. Jin once again burst into his house and once again Yuki growl, swore and punch him; the usual.
"Today the day Yuki! I can't wait!!" Jin exclaim. Today was finally the day of the Jounin exams. But that's not the only thing Jin's excited about. "Hurry Yuki! They're going to be here soon!" Jin cried dragging Yuki out the door. "Hai hai…stop pulling me already!" Yuki said pulling his arm away.
As they walk to the gate, they met up with Sasuke and his group. Sasuke who was in his disguise once again stare at them both. Yuki uncomfortable under his gaze all of a sudden look away.
"Hey Seiji-sensei, Sakura-chan, Koki, Ein." Jin greeted as usual with his brood grin. "Ohayou." Yuki said but he slowly turn to look at Koki. 'Somehow, I recogonize his chakra…' Koki noticing his stare only stare back before Jin drag Yuki away.
"See ya at the Jounin exams today!" Jin called as they disappeared into the crowd. 'It's him…Kajito…I'm sure of it,'
As they waited at the gate, Ito silently join them as the giant gate open. In came ninjas from all over the place and Jin immediately recognize someone. "Gaara oji-san!" Jin said running up to the Kazekage. Behind Gaara was Temari and Kankuro, soon join by their kids.
Kane, the kid of Gaara with his brown hair and green eyes. He grinned at Jin who then have him in a headlock. "Sup Kane!" Jin said. Jin heard a sigh and turn to see Temari's child, Kumo with her arms cross. Like Temari's, her hair was a dark blond but it was short with a pin on one side. "You guys are such kids." Kumo said. "Ey Kumo nee-chan, look!" a voice said. Turning they saw Ki, the youngest whose only 10.
Ki with her purple markings has taken a habit like her father to become a puppeteer. Having brown hair which are tied into a braid. She was moving a giant like puppet and she was sitting on its shoulders. "I got the hang of it now!" she boost and Kumo smile. Kane also smile and Jin wave. "Hey Ki-chan!" "Ohayou Jin nii-chan!" Ki said jumping down from her puppet. The puppet disappeared and Ki retrieve the scroll which it was summon out of,
"Jin…where's your father?" ask Gaara. "He's probably at the tower, if not then at Ichiraku's." Jin said and Gaara nodded his head. "Arigatou." and walk away. Temari wave at them so did Kankuro and they followed Gaara.
"Come on Kane! Let's go to the academy, they're probably going to start the exams!" Jin said dragging Kane. "Oi Jin! You can't carry our teammate off like that!" Kumo shouted running after the two.
Yuki and Ito look at each other and shook their heads. "Yuki nii-chan, Ito nii-chan, ready to go?" ask Ki. The two turn and nodded their heads as their hands were grabbed by the ten year old. "Alright then!" she said dragging them as well.
--
"Whoa…so many people…" Asako muttered staring at the crowd. "Of course, what did you expect?" Ito said. "I dunno people our age?" question Asako. "They're going to target us more because of our age. Kane make sure you watch out for Ki, she's only 10." Yuki said.
"I'm not an idiot, if they want her; they have to get through me first." Kane said with a calm voice. "Don't underestimate our little Ki-chan. She can handle her own." Kumo reassured grinning. Ki was running around staring at all the people and scenery. This was her first time in Konoha and she was really interested since her older cousins have told her all about it.
Yuki look back and he saw them. Koki, Saki, Suigetsu, and Sasuke. Ignoring everyone else, he walk straight towards them. Passing each of them, he grab Koki harshly and led him away.
Koki confuse at being drag by Yuki look back. Seeing the look in Sasuke's eyes he gulp.
As soon as they were alone Yuki glared hard at him. "You're Kajito aren't you? Or is that your real name?" Yuki ask. "I don't know what you're talking about." Koki said. "Don't lie to me." Yuki warn reaching for his katana. Koki clench his fist and stare at Yuki. "You know already don't you? Why ask me about it?" Koki muttered. "Because, you may never know, I can kill you right now if I want to." "But you can't." "Oh really?" Yuki grab his katana and slid it out; it's white surface gleam in the darkness.
"Yuki-kun!" a voice shouted out. Yuki stop and turn to look. Koki did as well. "What are you doing Yuki-kun?" it was Taiyou and she notice Yuki's blade was out. "Nothing." Yuki said smiling. "It wasn't nothing, why is your weapon out? If an instructor see you'll get kick out." Taiyou said worriedly. "I was just showing Koki-san my blade, he seem so interested in it." Yuki made up from the top of his head. Koki going along with it nodded his head. "And it's a really beautiful blade Yuki-san." Koki said faking a smile.
Taiyou hesitantly nodded and turn to walk away. "Well come on! It's almost starting!" she said. Yuki sheath his blade and follow her but he then turn to glare at Koki. "Do anything suspicious, I won't hesitate to kill you. You and your comrades."
--
"Where were you?" Jin ask when Yuki rejoin their group. "Walking around, you know checking everything out. It's been awhile since we last came here for the chuunin exam remember?" Yuki reply. "Why are you smiling? What are you smiling at? Ito! Yuki's scaring me because he smiling to happily! Tell him to stop scaring me!" Jin whine.
Ito sigh and turn around to see Yuki indeed smiling. "Um…Yuki?" Yuki ignore him and started to mutter some things non-audible. "Okay…you're scaring me too." Ito admitted stepping away. Yuki heave in a deep sigh and the two stare at him. "Whatever, let's go already."
Yuki walk ahead of each other and the two look at one other. "Yuki smiling that is a bad sign right?" "Yea…make sure your head is intact the next morning…" Ito muttered. Jin clasp his throat and made a squeak, "Eh…?!"
As everyone entered the room being sign in and all, a higher up was leaning on the wall grinning. Everyone chatted animatedly before the instructor slam his fist on the wall. "Alright shut up!" he shouted. Everyone did. "I'm your instructor for today, the name is Arishima Masashi. Hope you are prepare…" he said in a sadistic tone.
Everyone gulp but remain compose as Masashi explain the rules of the first test. "You will not bring anything with you, you will have to bare it alone. If you give up, you give up, but…if you give up, your teammates of have to forfeit as well. Without a three man team, how are you going to survive the other tests? Don't worry, you guys got this one right off the bat." Masashi laugh evilly and Jin twitch. "Is he crazy or something?" he muttered. "Oh shut up." Yuki said.
When Masashi stop laughing, he push a button and the wall rolled away as another room was shone. Everyone step back from the room as it leaves like a gaping hole at the other side of the room. "There's nothing in there…only plain darkness." Asako whispered. "Maybe that is the test." Eiji whispered. "All of you will go inside the room. Together or not, you'll eventually get separated anyways." Masashi soon walk into the room backwards as he slowly disappeared into the darkness. "This is what you called a living nightmare." and he was gone.
"Okay go in! Those of you who do not survive will be taken out immediately. Those of you who do remain there until the 5 hour time limit is up might or might not pass!" a staff member said. "Leave everything here!" another commanded. Everyone did as they were told and was push into the room willingly or not.
--
As soon as everyone was inside the dark room, the wall roll back into it's place and everything went dark. Yuki couldn't see anything, his hands, his friends, or even the people around him. "Jin? Ito?" "Here." "Man I can't see anything!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a blood curdling scream echo into the room and everyone burst into whispers. "Dai?! Dai!" a voice shouted out loud. The voice was the teammate of the fallen member who was screaming. Everyone now shaken up step towards where they think their teammates are.
"Is something in here?" Jin ask. "No, I don't sense anything besides the participates." Ito reply. "Nothing is in here…" "Asako!" they heard Eiji's voice and Ito shouted out. "Eiji! What happen?!" "I don't know! Asako, she suddenly disappeared, I can't sense her chakra anywhere." "Eiji…!" Shiro's voice before silence overcame his voice. Yuki then notice that the whispers had become completely silent. "It's quiet…" Ito muttered. "Yes…" "Jin…! I can't sense Jin no more, he disappeared as well." Yuki stated. No answer and Yuki felt around.
"Ito? Jin?" he reply but all of a sudden his view had change and he was in a forest. "What? Where am I? Where is everybody?" Yuki whispered. "Yuki-kun!" Yuki turn around and he gasp. There running towards him was his mother. "Kaa-san…" he whispered. She looks like how he remember as. Medium size pink hair that past her shoulders a bit, and bright emerald eyes.
Yuki started to move his feet and he was soon embrace by his mother. "Kaa…san…" he whispered again. He almost felt tears pricking his eyes. Slowly opening them, his mother all of a sudden disappeared in petals. "Cherry Blossoms?" Yuki question.
Then he heard a laughter that he heard before. The same laughter when those people came after his mother and him. Then blood, a lot of blood surrounded the area. The trees were bare and the moon look red to him as well. His breath became ragged, looking down, he almost yelled out. Corpse littered the floor and he crash onto a tree. Closing his eyes, he held his head and curl up. "This can't be happening…"
Ito surprise was soon in a empty mansion. It had a ghostly feel to it, an empty feeling. "Anyone here?" he question looking around. "Jin? Yuki?" he ask. "Hehe…" a faint giggling girl's voice reach his ears. Ito spin around and he caught a brief look of a shadow. He followed it and turn the corner. Nobody was there but he swore he heard someone. "Ito-kun!" Ito turned around and saw the little girl. She had long black hair and the same reddish eyes as Ito. Ito immediately recognize her. "Kaa-san?" Ito question.
"Kaa-san? I'm Akira! Come on let's play!" the girl reply. She ran up to him and grab his arm. 'There's no doubt about it, this is my mother. But why is she a child again?' question Ito.
Ito willingly follow her until they reach the exit of the house. Akira stop and let go of Ito's arm. Ito looked up and his eyes widen. There was fire and Ito can smell the flesh of burning bodies. 'What is this place?' turning to look at Akira, her small body started to change. Ito widen his eyes and step back. She turn to look at him and her eyes were a blood red.
"Die…" Akira said. Her body started to morph into a grotesque creature. A giant wolf like creature. It's skin dark bloody red, eyes a shining red and Ito can smell the blood wafting off the creature. 'It's just like before…!' The body was covered in spikes, it's neck long, and it's tail shape like a human. Ito covered his nose as the smell of blood and corpse reach his nose. The creature jump at him and he close his eyes. Darkness once again engulf him.
Jin lay on the ground groaning. He wonder why he was on the floor. Sitting up, he notice that he was on a road with trees on either side of him. "Hey…I know this place…" Jin whispered. "Jin! What are you doing just laying down there? We must get to Konoha now!" a voice shouted. The next thing Jin knew was that he was being drag on the ground. Looking up he gasp as he recognize the person. "Shin…"
"What?" 'Shin' ask. "Aren't you...aren't you suppose to be dead?!" Jin question stopping. Shin turn around and stare at Jin. "You're kidding right?" Shin ask. Jin make sure that this is really Shin that he remembers. He had light brown hair and pale moon color eyes. His hair was long and wasn't restrained in a ponytail or anything. "We must get to Konoha before Fuchi does!" "Fuchi? He's gone isn't he? I mean…he won't be coming back right?" Jin ask. "Jin what are you talking about? He's behind us! And if we don't hurry he'll destroy Konoha!" Shin cried out grabbing Jin by the shoulders.
"But Shin-" Jin couldn't get to finish when Shin's face went white and blood spilled out from his back. Droplets can be seen in the air. "S-Shin…?" Shin suddenly went limp and Jin step back. Shin lifted his head and his eyes were white and hollow.
The scenery soon change and Jin was standing on isolated water. Nothing was around besides him and Shin. "Jin…" Jin heard his name being called and look at Shin. Jin step back but he slam into the water. Slowly drifting downwards Jin was numb and frozen. He couldn't move at all. 'I'm drowning…somebody…help me!' Jin tried calling out but his mouth filled with water. Soon something grab his throat and started choking him. Following the trail of the arm with his eyes, he saw Shin, but it wasn't him. 'Why Jin? Why did you kill me?' Shin's voice echo through the water. Jin close his eyes as he grab hold of Shin's wrist. "Gomen…gomen…gomen…" Even in water, you can still see the tears flowing down his eyes.
Yuki could feel everything change around him. When he finally open his eyes and look up he clench his head harder. Konoha was burning, he can hear the screams and can smell the stench of death. Turning around he stare at the Hokage's tower and his eyes widen in fear. "No…it can't be." Yuki shook as he stared at himself. That 'Yuki' grin an undeniable evil and Yuki knew that it was himself. He couldn't help it anymore. Grabbing his head, he scream as the black markings covered his entire body making his skin turn pure black, his eyes red swirling with the sharingan.
Ito was floating in darkness before he lay down in the dark abyss. 'What happen? Oh right…I was killed wasn't I?' Sitting up Ito look around even though there wasn't much to look for. He then heard scampering and skittering. Looking down his stomach clench. His hand was covered in that grotesque form like Akira. 'No! It can't be happening, not now!' 'You will kill your friends and family…just like your mother before you…' he heard and Ito clench his head as he kneel down with his head on the ground. "No…I can't let it take over me…not yet…it's not time yet…" Ito whispered as his body had taken the beast form of the Kurochi's curse.
Jin floated lifelessly in the water waiting for death to take him. Clenching his fist he gritted his teeth and open his eyes. 'I can't die here, not yet. I promise myself that I'll stop running away. I need…to protect them as well.' Jin forcing all his strength, he swam upwards. Shin was no longer choking him. Jin could see a light and he got a strange sense of déjà vu. 'Haha…it's like I'm walking through the tunnel towards the light…' Jin said laughing silently. When he finally break the surface he gasp. Expecting to see water, he was surprise to see darkness.
"Huh? What happen?" Jin question. "Uzumaki Jin…" a voice said. Jin turn towards the voice and saw Masashi. "Congratulations…you pass." "Eh?!" Jin yelled out and Masashi soon transported him out of the dark room. Jin roughly landed on his back and he clench his eyes as light blinded him. "Jin?"
Jin open his eyes to see Kane, and Ki. "Hey looks like you made it!" Kane said. "Where's Kumo? Ah! Yuki and Ito!" Jin sat up and he bump heads with Kane. "Itte! Dammit Jin!" Kane shouted out. "Haha sorry…but what happen?" Kane sigh and motion Jin to follow.
He pointed at a screen. "Kumo, Ito, Yuki and everybody else are still in there. 3 hours have passed and only you, Ki, those guys, and me have passed so far." Kane said. Jin look towards the others that had passed. It was Saki, and Suigetsu and Jin grin at them glad they had pass. Saki only wave as Jin look towards the next team.
Jin had a bad feeling about this team. They were all wearing black with their hoods up and a red insignia show their village symbol. 'Where…have I've seen that symbol before?' Jin question.
"Oi Jin." Kane said. Jin turn and stare at Kane. "You seriously don't know what happen do you?" ask Kane. Jin shook his head. Kane sigh and told him to sit down.
"Everybody in that room are under a genjutsu." Kane said. "WHAT?!" Jin yelled out loud. Ki shush him by hitting him with a book. Jin rubbing his head listen intently to Kane.
"But it's not any ordinary genjutsu. It's a high level one and it's main purpose is to bring your deepest fears into reality. But it looks and feel so real that even if you get out of it, you can still feel the effects of it." Kane said. "That's why…that's why I can still taste water in my mouth…" Jin said with his hand up to his throat. "This genjutsu sole purpose is to torture A and S-class missing nins. That's all I know so far, we have to wait until Masashi-sensei explains more." Then Kane turn back to the screen and sigh sadly. "Let's just hope they can endure it for 2 more hours."
--
Ito was halfway into his transformation as he clench his head. Trying to fight back, struggling to regain his body back. 'Ito…find me…' 'W-Who was that?' Ito thought. 'Do not lose to yourself. You still have a duty to do.' 'No way…it can't be…' "You bastard, don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do…" Ito growl. 'Then complete the exam…and find me.' Ito notice the presence was disappearing and soon the transformation cancel out. "Tou-san! Come back here!"
Ito eyes shoot open and he look around. He was back in the room he knew and Masashi appeared in front of him. "Hehe, looks like you pass Kurochi. Congratulations." He was soon dropped to the ground in a brighter room and he growl against the light. "Oi Ito! You made it!" he heard Jin's voice and that got him more irritated. "What?" Ito growl. Jin stop short and stare at Ito. "Man, did something crawl up your ass or something? I haven't seen you this piss since that day-" "Shut up Jin." "Fine, be that way."
Ito got up and following Jin he greeted Kane and Ki. Kumo had joined them a few minutes before Ito. She was trying to calm herself as the memory of her greatest fear past. Then they heard somebody fell and turn to see Asako and Shiro. "H-Hey!" Asako said trying to sound cheerful.
Ito hurriedly ran over to his sister and kneel down. "You alright Asako?" he ask. "Hai aniki!" Asako said her voice shaking. "I…I saw…" her voice started cracking and she looks like she was about to cry. She did. Leaning into Ito's chest she started crying sniffling here and there.
"I saw tou-san…he was…he was killing okaa-san…and then…t-then you turn into the same monster as kaa-san…I-I just stood there…I-I couldn't do anything!" Asako cried saying. "It's alright…I'll never turn into that monster…and I won't let that bastard kill kaa-san as well." Ito said trying to make her stop.
Asako nodded her head and she look up at Ito. "T-Then…promise me you won't kill tou-san…?" Asako ask. 'I don't know…' Ito was silent but finally nodding his head he said "I promise."
There was 20 minutes until the end of the first test. Many people was sent home because of their lack of will to withstand the torture. Some even collapse and was put into a deep sleep. It seems like everyone had pass that brought relief to Jin.
Taiyou, Hikari, and Takashi had passed. Hikari was still shaken up from the test and was being comforted by Taiyou. Ito hesitantly came over but stop halfway. Asako drag him over and she started talking to them. Hikari got better and she smile at them.
Eiji had come 5 minutes after Asako and Shiro and he wanted to be left alone. They did but Asako started towards him but Shiro stop her. The four team stood looking at the screen.
So far the only one missing is Yuki. 'Yuki-kun...please be alright.' Taiyou prayed in her head tightening her grip Hikari. Hikari notice and look at Taiyou. "It's going to be alright." Hikari said. Taiyou smile a small smile and nodded.
--
"There's something wrong with Haruno Yuki." a examiner said. Masashi turn towards him and stare at the screen. Narrowing his eyes, he can see some black marks slowly spreading around Yuki's body. "Something's not right…" Masashi whispered and he disappeared.
Yuki was lifeless. His arms hung loosely by his side. He was on his knees and his head was slightly down. His eyes were dull and he couldn't feel anything. He was in his robot state. 'Yuki-kun…' 'Yuki-kun!' 'W-who…are you?' Yuki ask. 'Please Yuki-kun, you can't let him win…please survive…for your friend's sake. Don't lose to this darkness.' 'He? You mean…'
Yuki fell backwards as he lay there panting. He was finally out of the genjutsu and he felt relief pour into him. Clenching his heart, he can feel the marks retreated but they abruptly stop at his chin. They were getting larger. "Hum? Did you pass out Haruno-san?" a voice called out. "No…I didn't." Yuki said sitting up. "Ah…so you overcame it eh? Congratulations you pass, you can join your friends. They've been worried sick about you." Masashi said before transporting him to the room. Masashi stare back at the room where they were currently at. His eyes narrow slightly and he brought his index finger to his lips. 'What was that enormous chakra? Was it coming from him?'
"Yuki-kun!" Taiyou cried out relief. She unknowingly hug him, realizing it she immediately let go and step back. Blushing she turn away crossing her arms. "You're alright aren't you?" she ask. "Yea…apparently." Yuki reply standing up. He was surprise when Taiyou hug him but he push the thought away as everyone help him up.

"3...2...1...Finish!!" Masashi voice boom. Jin plug his ears and had an irritated face on as everyone else was to tired or shaken up from the test. "Those of you in the room…You pass!! Those are you who are missing a member get out!" "Man…he is so rude sometimes…" Taiyou muttered. "Now those of you have a full team and is still sane please come to the next room." Masashi said. Everyone could imagine him smiling evilly and they shuddered.
"So…50 teams had past out of the 150 teams. 100 were sent home or were sent to the hospital." Masashi muttered. As the 50 teams came in Masashi turn around and grin with a glint in his eyes.
"Well since 50 of you past, I think I might order Hitomi to cut you guys down." Masashi said. "Oi…Masashi-sensei, why did you put that genjutsu on us?" ask Asako nervously. "Because…Jounins carry a lot of special missions alone. When going to an enemy base, you might be captured and they will torture you to get information. We just wanted to give you that experience, even if it's going to kill ya. You guys here right now, just proves that you are eligible to be Jounins, but don't be celebrating yet. Remember this is only the first test, you guys got four to go." Masashi said smiling.
They groan and the he clap his hands. "I'm going to inform your senseis that you past! They will tell you your next location in three days time. Hopefully enough time for you guys to recover mentally!" and with that he disappeared.
"We made it!" Jin said after the silence. Sighs and relief can be heard around and Yuki slump down. "Yuki?" Ito question. "Let's go…" he said. "Ah." They drag him up and everyone left the building. The first test complete.
Yuki look over and saw the team Jin first saw. The black cloaks and red insignia. They were staring at him and his mark burn on his body. Yuki felt an flash of pain before he fell forward and fainted. "Yuki!"
