Chapter 4,
Danger ahead.
She walked in silence while her teammates talked to each other. Was eagerly about the Chuunin Exam. Especially Naruto. They where on their way too the school. But something didn't feel right. She knew the Chuunin Exam was deadly. But it wasn't that she had a bad feeling about. It was something else. Dosu, Kin and Zaku shouldn't be here. They we're better than Chuunin, same as her. Maybe they where here on Orochimarus command. Maybe. She bit her lip and sighed. This didn't feel right at all. If it was Orochimarus command, she shouldn't be here. Sasuke shouldn't be here, nor should Naruto. She didn't need to be here. They needed be three in the team to be in Chuunin. But she promised Kakashi that she would be there. Take care of them and look after them, so they wouldn't die. But it still didn't feel right. Like something very bad was on it's way to happen.
"Hey, Sakon. What do you think of?" Sakura asked.
She waked up from her thoughts and looked at Sakura. "About the Chuunin exam." She laughed nervously and looked at Sasuke. She saw his eye. He knew she was lying. She sighed and walked up for the stairs. Sakura and Naruto screamed when someone showed up infront of them and smiled.
"Hey, where are you going? You are not suppose to be here." The girl smiled.
She had black, spiked hair and light brown eyes.
"Come on now, we are going to Forest of death."
She walked down the stairs with a big smile on her face. Sakon sighed and walked down. So it begins.
"Have we missed the first task?" Sakura asked confused.
"Nope, we are going to the first task now." The girl smiled and opened the door for the team.
"And you are?" Sasuke asked.
"Anko, your leader for this task." She laughed.
"She is exactly as Naruto..." Sakura swhispered to Sakon who laughed.
"See that like a good thing." Sakon said with a smile and walked after Anko.
Or maybe not. Anko was maybe like Naruto, but they was still on their way to Forest of Death. It could just mean one thing: Danger.
Real danger.
She sighed. She wasn't afraid. She just thought it would be difficult to hold an eye on her team, especially when all this didn't feel right at all. She sighed. A promise was a promise. She wouldn't break it. She never did.
"Now all is here, so let's begin to explain the rules!" Anko smiled and laughed.
Everyone was quiet. Waiting to hear what she had to say.
"Now then. This part of Chuunin exam will be in the Forest of Death. You won't have a sensei around. Just your teammates. You till test how good your survival skill are and how good your abilities are. And your teamwork. Your goal is to survive and come to the tower in max five days."
"What about food?"
"There is plenty of food in there... But also much enemies who will eat you."
Most of the students looked frighted. Sakon sighed. This was going to be really difficult.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Each team will have one scroll. Scroll of heaven or scroll of earth. Before you reach the tower, you must have both scrolls, or you will not pass." Anko smiled.
"Any last advice?" Sakon asked with a bored face.
She wouldn't have problem with this. She was more worried about her friends. The Rockie nine. She looked at Kiba's team, Neji's team, Ino's team and her team. She sighed. She knew most of them should survive. The most of them was really strong. But the enemies were stronger. She sighed.
"Don't die." Akon said with an seriously tone.
Naruto started to laugh. "You can't scare me!" He shouted and pointed at Anko who smiled.
He gasped when a kunai cut his cheek and fly on the ground behind someone else. He stared at in the empty air and gasped again when someone showed up behind him.
"But you will be scared... When the enemies will feel the smell of blood." She stroke her finger on his wound and got blood on her finger. She watched it and smiled.
"As fast the enemies will smell the blood, they will attack. Even if it is only a small wound like yours."
Sakon looked at Anko and Naruto and saw someone sneak up behind them. She took up her kunai and looked, but didn't do anything. She didn't need it. The man leaved Anko's kunai to her and then walked passed Sakon. Looked at her. Sakon didn't have a good feeling about this at all. She swallowed and shivered.
"We will start about an hour. You will have to write your name on this document before you enter the forest of death."
She gave documents do each one of them and everyone sat by themselves to read and write their name. Sakon sighed and sat on a rock, write her name down. She didn't care what the document said. She was only here to protect her friends.
"Uchiha Sakon, isn't it?"
Sakon looked at and saw Anko. She nod. "Yes it is. Why?"
"I didn't know you where here... You don't need to." Anko said and sat beside her.
"Well... No, I don't need to be here. But I'm with my team, and I swore I will protect them with my life." She sighed and looked at Anko.
"You swore to Kakashi, didn't you?"
Sakon nod again. "Yes. He told you?"
This time it was Anko's turn to nod. "I hope you don't have to die. So you can prove to Kakashi that you can be trusted." Anko smiled.
"You... You know?"
"I've been working with Orochimaru as well." Anko showed her the mark and Sakon bit her lip.
"So there is a chance that he can trust me?"
Anko nod with a smile and walked away. Sakon sighed and smiled a bit.
"It's your surname... Uchiha?"
Sakon gasped and turn her head to left, where Sasuke stand. She swore for herself.
"Err... Yes." She sighed.
"It's strange... I thought my whole clan died. I was only me and my brother left. My sister was gone. But your name seems so familiar to me." Sasuke looked at Sakon who sighed.
"It didn't want to tell. It should be better I thought.." Sakon looked in to the air and sighed.
"You are my sister, aren't you?"
Sakon sighed and nod, looked to Sasuke who stared at her. "I thought... I thought you where dead..."
Sakon gasped when he hugged her. She swallowed and hugged him back, but only for a few second.
"Well... I'm alive.." She smiled and backed away slowly. "I'm going... I'm going to.. See you later with the rest of the team.."
She walked away and sighed. This was far worse than she thought. She sighed and walked over to Gaara. She sat down and sighed deep. Gaara, Temari and Konkuro looked at her.
"What is it?" Temari asked and looked at her.
"This task doesn't feel right at all. Something strange is in the air..." She swallowed and felt Gaara's arms around her.
She leaned her head to his shoulder and sighed. Temari and Konkuro saw them and looked at each other. They knew Gaara only cared about himself. But there was this person who he could put his life too, just too see that she survived. He kissed her forehead and smiled weakly.
"Everything is going to be okay. You worry too much."
Sakon nod and smiled, closed her eyes and rest in his arms.
"It's time to get your scrolls!" Anko said and Sakon sighed.
"See you later." She smiled a bit and kissed Gaaras lips before she hugged Temari and Kankuro.
She walked over to Naruto and the others. They got a scroll of heaven. They walked over to the door and waited. Nervously and eagerly.
"THE NEXT EXAM WILL START... NOW!"
The doors opened and every team rushed into the forest. Sakon sighed and looked at her teammates.
"If you want to survive, listen to me." She said and looked at all three.
They nod and Sakon started to walk.
"Sharingan!" She whispered and looked around.
They wouldn't get any surprise attack, so long Sakon used sharingan. She heard the others talk and stopped. She couldn't concentrate. She looked around to see if someone was nearby, before she stopped using Sharingan and turned around to her teammate.
"What are we suppose to do?" Sakura asked.
"Well, this forest is full of enemies. Not just other teams. And the best thing to do is setting up traps or search after other teams. But I know there are many of the teams who think exactly like us. So I should said we set up traps and wait in the open field."
"In the open field? Are you stupid?" Sasuke shouted.
"Yes, in the open field. That's the easiest way to get an other scroll." Sakon sighed.
"Really?" Sakura asked with a surprised tone.
Sakon nod. She started walking and set up traps on trees and bushes. She sighed and sat down in a open field. She started talking with the others to trick the enemies mind.
"Err... Can I go...?" Naruto asked and smiled nervously.
"Why?" Sakon asked and looked at him.
"I need to pee..." He ran up and trough the bushes.
Sakon sighed and looked around. She still had the feeling that something wasn't right.
"Ahh... That was really good!" Naruto said with an high voice.
"Keep it down, you will draw enemies attention to us!" Sasuke sighed.
Sakon turned around and looked at Naruto. "If he not already done it." She said.
Sakura and Sasuke looked confused. She sighed and walked to him. He swallowed and back one step or two, before he screamed. He fell down and looked at Sakon.
"Sakon, what are you doing?" Sakura shouted.
"This is not Naruto. He wouldn't be afraid of me. He is right handed, not left handed and the wound Anko gave him is gone."
She looked at him, tied her hand and he screamed again. "I can go on, can you?"
"No... Please... Stop..." The man infront of her moaned.
She looked at him with her sharingan and was on her way to tie her other hand. "Show yourself and then I will stop."
Naruto turned into an other man, a man with beige clothes and a mask over his mouth. "What do you want? Our scroll?" She sighed.
"Well yes."
"Begone. Or do you really want to fight?"
She looked at him with sharingan and smiled. "Sasuke, look after Naruto. But be careful. They are maybe more people who hides."
She looked at the man infront of her.
"So, do you really want to fight?"
The man smiled.
"I take that like a yes."
She hit him into the air, flew up and throw him back down to the mark. He fall with his head first. She landed beside him and looked at him when he tried to rise. He met her sharingan and he screamed of pain. She smiled and heard Sakura shout stop.
"I'm not doing anything. It's an illusion." She whispered to her.
Sakon gasped and looked at the man who moaned and screamed in pain. She blinked and the screaming stopped. He breathed heavily and pulled up his scroll.
"He... Here take it..." He left it on the mark and ran away as fast he could.
"What... What did you do?" Sasuke asked surprised.
"Used my sharingan to play with him with illusions." She smiled.
Sasuke looked surprised and looked at Naruto who smiled.
"Sakon is awesome!" He said eagerly.
Sakon laughed.
"We should have a password. In case we get away from each other." Sasuke said.
"Like what?" Naruto asked and leaned his head to the left.
"The Nine Rookie Will Survive And Pass The Exam." Sakon said.
"Yeah, that will do." Sasuke nod
"Let's go."
Sakon started to walk and and sighed. The feeling was left. She looked back to see if her teammates where there before she looked ahead.
"Where are we going?"
"We have both scrolls. So we're going to the tower." She whispered and looked around.
Hated this feeling. She swallowed and stopped when someone screamed. She turned around and saw Sakura hide behind Sasuke. A big snake. Sakon stared at it and breathed heavily. Sasuke and Naruto looked at Sakon. She didn't looked afraid. She looked... different. She had shadows on her face and almost a demonic smile.
"Sakon?" Sasuke said.
"We have to go away... Now!"
