Chapter Twenty-Four
The Chuunin Exams Begin
Within the Hokage's office, that silent buzz echoed within the five occupants of the room. Tsunade sat, naturally, behind her desk. Her chin leaning on her interlaced fingers, glancing back and forth between the two in front of her. Jiraiya stood by her side with his arms crossed over his chest and looking like he was going to burst of impatience-ness at any moment.
Standing a short distance away from the large wooden desk was a young girl that looked to be about thirteen years old. Her pitched black hair was thickly braided to her rear end and was held together with a black hair tie. Her pure white michiyuki(1) with lavender flowers decorating the lower half and the hem of her sleeves contrasted beautifully with her hair. A black shirt showed underneath the michiyuki from the low v-neck. Loose black pants that reached to her calves covered her legs with black shinobi sandals on her feet. Though with her child appearance, her soft purple orbs that were set within her delicate features told of someone that was beyond her supposed years.
Several weapon pouches were strapped on both her legs. Two on her right; one full of kunai's around her thigh and one around her calf which was filled with a variety of items; ranging from explosive notes to poisons. And one attached on her left thigh that held her senbon. There was also a large pouch that was secured to her lower back, most to all being covered by her michiyuki. This pouch held all her medical supplies and scrolls. The hitai-ate of Konoha hung loosely around her neck.
A young boy with his hair color a chocolate brown and pulled back in a high ponytail stood by the girl, his arms crossed in an irritable fashion. His facial features didn't show this irritation though, nor did his deep brown eyes. Those were completely impassive and holding no sort of emotion.
The black shirt he wore covered his completely chest and all of his arms, with the material being a mixture of solid black and mesh. About twenty different buckles and ties secured the shirt together. The way these buckles and ties are tied depends on what part of the shirt is solid material and what part is completely mesh or if each material overlaps the other. But once everything is tied and secured, this shirt can give a new definition to tight. Although there were two buckles that he cut completely off for easy access to his kanji seals and those were the ones around his wrists. His cargo shorts were plain tan and his feet wore black shinobi shoes. Lastly, his hitai-ate of Konoha was tied around his forehead.
He only had one pouch strapped around his right leg. That held a few scrolls, one of which, containing his Kusanagi. He didn't think it would be wise to carry his sword on his back in this form. That would definitely be the ultimate giveaway to who he really was, now wouldn't it?
The last person within the room was the raccoon mask man, also known as Gaara, who stiffly near the wall that was next to the doors of the Hokage's office. He stared straight ahead with no actually location of staring.
Tsunade glanced at the clock on her far wall before she asked in an exasperated tone, "What his that gaki doing?! Doesn't he know we're on a timed schedule here?!"
A chuckle came from the white haired sannin, "He knows! He just doesn't care!" He chuckled further, even when Tsunade directed her narrowed eyes at him. "You lazy old pervert! You're the one who taught him to procrastinate!" This only fueled the man to chuckle more, only that this time it was more of cackle than anything else.
She grabbed a paper weight that weighed a good thirty pounds and was fully prepared to throw it at the her old teammate with her full strength. The only thing that stopped this possible deadly throw was the familiar sound of Naruto's transportation winds erupting within her office. So, she redirected her arm and threw the paper weight in that direction before the winds even had time to die down.
At the last minute, Naruto particularly threw himself to the ground. Missing the 'cannon ball' by merely inches. Said object of destruction soared at an unimaginable speed across the room and plummeted through the wall, creating a large hole that let the outside scenery within the room.
"Dammit brat! Look--" Vigorously pointing her finger to the damage in her wall. "--what you made me do!!"
Naruto hopped back on his feet and stood indignantly, having an expression of shock that she would even think it was his fault. "Me! You're the crazy old hag that threw the damn thing like you were trying to kill me, in the first place!"
"If you didn't move then that damage wouldn't even be in my wall! Such a selfish brat!" she yelled back. Fully thinking that she was right and he needed to stop arguing back.
Naruto's mouth fell open partly, coming to the reasoning that all that sake has finally brewed her brain into an sake stew. "Oh yeah baa-chan, blame me for allll your violent tendencies." Ending with a cute pout on his lips.
By now Jiraiya was laughing loudly with his hand positioned on the desk to keep himself standing. Watching these two fight has always gave him a large sense of amusement. He could laugh for hours as long as they kept up arguing. Ahhh, those two.....his life wouldn't be complete without their bickering and the occasional shed of blood.
"Eto....." began Ruri softly, ".....Taichou, don't you think that appearance would be slightly......suspicious?"
Naruto stood at the same height of 5' 4'' as he did when he was twelve. His same hairstyle remained, except that his hair color was now an icy blond with still the red highlights within. He turned his unusual crystal sapphire eyes to a more common darker blue. The normal red specks in his eyes, prominent whiskered marks on his cheeks, canines within his mouth, slightly pointed ears and claws were skillfully placed under a genjutsu to ensure that he wasn't positively identify. He also toned down his skin complexion to a shade or two lighter. The only things he didn't change nor remove, were all his tattoos and the beaded bracelet around his wrist. All in all, his physical characteristics basically resembled the same as when he was twelve, except for the mentioned changes.
His outfit consisted of an elbow length; black fishnet shirt under a tight blood red tank top. The front having an gothic grudge sort of design on it. He had plain navy blue pants covering his legs and black shinobi sandals on his feet. Though his hitai-ate was no where to be seen.
He had four weapons pouches on both of his legs. Two were tied around his right thigh, the top one holding his kunai while the bottom held his shuriken. On his left leg, one was tied around his thigh; which held various poisons and the other one around his calve that contained specific medical tinctures and antidotes and soldier and blood pills.
He looked over at the small girl with black hair and then looked down at himself. "What's wrong with me?" He lifted his attention back up and looked over at the brunette, who he thought was Sasuke. And that theory was almost positively confirmed just by with the familiar gesture of the lifted eyebrow and the impassive expressing mixed together. 'Oh yeah, definitely Sasuke.' Though even without that, the scent would of gave him away anyway.
"Well...." began Ruri but Tsunade interrupted her with a loud, "Brat, you look like a twelve year old you except it looks like you messed up a jutsu or something!"
Naruto's eyelids lowered half mass in an annoyed fashion. But perked up after only a moment and announced with a wide grin, "That's the plan! Except for the jutsu screw up....."
"Don't you think that's a little risky?" Ruri questioned.
The blond shrugged his shoulders, "Possibly.....but won't it be fun to see everyone's faces!" He crossed his arms over his chest and nodded his head like his idea was the best of all time. Although, after just a few seconds his features changed to a frown as he lifted his hand to his face. Rubbing his unmarred skin and speaking in a faraway voice, "But....I do kind of miss my marks. I feel naked without them......" Another pout formed on his lips as he finished.
Sasuke ran his eyes over every inch of the younger blond's body. Finding so many similarities to when he was actually that age, and he wasn't sure if he liked it. This was just reminding him of that time and lately he wouldn't of mind that but.....reminding him like this. For some reason, he just didn't like looking at him like this. He's found that he could deal with the memories now since him and Naruto have done that ritual to get into the astral plane, although this appearance he just wished wasn't there. But he guess he would have to get used to it. For now, that is.
Tsunade shook her head slightly as he sat back down in her chair. "Fine, if that's how you want to look......it's your own funeral. Wait...." Forgetting a small detail. ".....it'd be more like a bonfire. They don't bury criminals. Oh, by the way brat, where the hell is your hitai-ate?!" Finally noticing the lack of metal plate of Konoha.
Without answering, he dug into his pants pocket. His eyes remaining on glare mode, which was directed at the busty blond for that 'bonfire' comment. His fox demon chuckled as a certain imagery popped itself within the fox's mind. 'What's so funny fur ball?'
Kyuubi let the comment of 'fur ball' go. 'Hahaha.....just imagining you as a giant marshmallow over a bonfire! Hahaha....' The fox continued laughing as his imagery began to become for hilarious with a screaming blond on a stick.
'Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny.' he thought dryly. He pulled his hand out of his pocket, his fingers holding onto the hitai-ate in that same hand. He dangled the thing from the navy blue cloth that held the metal plate, in the air. "I have it. Just waiting until the last minute to put the damn thing on. Prefer not to be an Konoha lackey sooner than I have to."
"Well, guess what?!" Tsunade started with a amused smirk, "Times up! So get it on and stand over by your teammates."
Naruto grumbled under his breath about putting the offending piece of material on but it's for the mission.....Ohhh, that didn't sound too convincing. With a bit of hesitation and a long sigh, he lifted both his hands with one end of the cloth in each hand and brought it to his forehead. Tying the two ends together behind his head with the metal plate in front, which unfortunately showed the Konoha symbol proudly.
He strolled over to where his temporary teammates for the chuunin exams were and stood by Ruri. He glanced at Sasuke as he did this, and saw a prominent smirk on his features. "What are you smirking at teme?!" he asked with a strange expression of annoyance on his face.
But instead of the raven answering, Tsunade interrupted, "Nun uh ah.....no more of that. No more teme, no more dobe and no mention of your original names. It will be a dead giveaway on your identities. Especially if you two start going off on each other with those nicknames. Everyone whose every known either of you, know that those two particularly are only used by the both of you to address each other. So, non of it. Do I make myself clear?"
Both of the boys nodded, Sasuke making a mental note to put that nickname for the blond to the back of his mind. Though, there's been moments when that nickname just slips out without even thinking of saying it. It was a habit. Naruto was also thinking along the same lines, it would be hard not to call the raven by his nickname. But he's done it for over two weeks, so maybe it won't be too hard. He let out a breath, what was he saying, it was damn hard for it to not automatically come out of his mouth then. Hardy hard hard.....
"Good." She picked up three plastic cards and three pieces of paper from her desk and held them out to the three. "Here's your Konoha registration cards with the names--" looking pointedly at Naruto with she said this word. "--you chose and the forms you need to hand in at the exam's check in desk."
Sasuke stepped forward and took the cards and papers from her hand, then dispersed them to who he thought they belonged to. He knew the name he picked, Wakahisa Seiji and obviously the female name of Kawaguchi Hanako was Ruri's. And by the act of elimination, Naruto's picked name was.....Ikamuzu Oturan.....'What the hell is he trying to pull?'
Purposely ignoring the inquisitive look that Sasuke was giving him, he listened to what Tsunade continued on saying, "Now the registration cards are different from the ones that we normally distribute. As you can see, no picture is available because we just don't have time to make one up. So, just drop some blood on them and the appearance that you hold now will appear in the picture slot."
All three did as they were told, biting the their thumbs and dropping some blood or smearing blood on the plastic cards. And as the older female said, their appearances now showed as their picture on the card.
"Cooool!" exclaimed Naruto. "Can I keep this after all this?!"
"No!" both Tsunade and Jiraiya yelled at the same time, making the blond pout at being deprived of his prize. "So cruel...."
Pretending like she didn't hear the mumble, Tsunade continued speaking, "Now remember that you're also keeping your ears open for any threats that may arise besides keeping an eye on Cho-chan. Plus, you won't be participating in the whole of the exams. After the second round, you'll be back to guard duty during the matches. Also when they call you to give you a Heaven or Earth scroll, you won't be getting one. This is to let the other teams having a better chance. Because I doubt that any of them would be able to defeat you three."
The three nodded to show that they understand, though Naruto only nodded to show that he was paying attention. Which really he wasn't. His eyes were trained on the outside world through the window behind Tsunade. His leg bouncing impatiently to get out of this office. He didn't know why, but a sickening foreboding feeling kept twisting at the bottom of his stomach. Like the next few days, possibly week, wasn't going to be a walk in the park--like it ever was really.
"Can you do that Naruto?" asked the Hokage. This caused the blond to snapped his attention back to what was going on. Which he had no idea. 'What she want me to do? Kyuubi....?'
'Don't ask me brat. I was paying as much attention as you were.'
He lifted his hand and rubbed the back of his head nervously, chuckling forcibly as he asked sheepishly, "Do what?"
With a deep sigh, Tsunade closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with her fingers. Trying to coax the approaching headache down. 'Knew he wasn't paying an ounce of attention....' And with a forced calm, she stated once again. "You need to create clones of yourself, Ruri and all the other Akuma members that's currently not here." Not going to bother to ask again to see if he can or not, because he was either way.
Naruto shrugged, "Sure." Like it was a choice. And said the next comment just to be a smart-ass. "Does that include Neji too?" The glare he received answered that question as he held the smile that threatened to break out on his face down with full strength. But the twitching in the corner of his lips were quickly caught by Tsunade. Whose glare worsened with each twitch that caught her attention. 'Damn brat, always has to cause problems!' she thought and then said shortly, "Well, get on with it."
He pulled his lips tighter together to keep himself composed and raised his hands at chest level. He formed familiar hand seals and said in a normal voice, "Fukai-Kage Bunshin no jutsu(2)." And five loud pops resounded and smoked erupted once he finished. Once that smoke cleared, there were the identical copies of all the Akuma members--minus Gaara--standing on the side of the room near Jiraiya.
"There. Happy?" Naruto said sarcastically. "Can we go now?"
She waved her hand at the three like she was dismissing some kind of dogs. "Go.....get out of here. You always seem to manage to give me some kind of a headache. Damn brat....." Her mumbled remark, caused the younger blond to chuckled under his breath.
Without needing anything more to get out of the Hokage's office, Sasuke immediately headed for the door. Gripping the handle and yanking it open. Only to become face to face with Kakashi. Well, more like face to chest. His hand on the door's handle tightened as he tilted his head upward to glare right into the older man's visible eye.
His uncertainty with the silver haired jounin's involvement in Naruto's faked 'death' caused the brunette Uchiha to lose every ounce of respect he ever held for the man. Making Kakashi just like everyone else within this god forsaking village. Absolutely nothing.....
Kakashi lifted his visible eyebrow at the glare that he was receiving from a boy that he's never met. 'He looks like I killed his puppy or something.' Shrugging the boy in front of himself off, he greeted the Hokage with a eye smile and fake cheerfulness, "Yo, Hokage-sama! You wanted to see me?" and purposely stepped around the brunette and into the room. Where he finally noticed the others within it's confines. Well, mainly the Akuma members. Which caused his cheerful, albeit fake, smile to drop into a frown and his eye to narrow at the mercenary group.
"I summoned you four hours ago!" particularly yelled the busty blond. The headache she was trying to calm, coming up full force with this interruption. 'God, why can't he every be on time. It would save me so much aggravation.' She looked up and noticed that the younger three were still within the room. "What the hell are you three waiting for?! If you don't hurry you won't be able to take the exams! Now go!!"
"Rog joe, Hokage-sama!" exclaimed Naruto with a military salute.
Upon hearing the blond's voice, Kakashi snapped his head toward the boy who owned it. The familiarity of it causing him to turn his attention away from the Akuma members. His eye widened when it landed on the appearance of the young boy as he followed his two teammates out of the office. But just before Naruto exited the room completely, he blurted out, "You blond, what's your name?" Wanting to confirm that it was impossible for him to be who he thought. It wasn't like he looked exactly like him.
Naruto stopped in his tracks and innocently turned around to face the older man. "Me?" he asked as he pointed to himself. Feigning the innocent act to a tee, while inwardly he was smirking devilishly. "My name?" Completely ignoring the warning looks that both Tsunade and Jiraiya were sending his way. "My name's Ikamuzu Oturan."
'You just had to do that, didn't you Kit?' Kyuubi said lazily. Not really bothered by it but still....If his host keeps being so reckless, one of these times he's going to really get himself into trouble.
Naruto shrugged nonchalantly instead of answering his demon. Continuing to walk with his teammates down the busy street of Konoha. Though, the difference this time was that no glares nor rude whispers and comments about them came from the villagers as the three passed them. Just a glance here and there but nothing like usual. Which irritated the blond to no end.
"You know Kakashi will figure it out, if he hasn't already." Stated Sasuke, worried for his dobe. "It was foolish of you to give him that name. Hell, it was foolish to even pick that name."
Naruto leaned forward slightly and turned his head to glance at Sasuke. He then moved around Ruri, who walked between them and leaned his chin on the other boy's shoulder. Silently thanking right now that he wasn't taller than him by much and that he could actually do this without standing on his tippy-toes. "Te--Seiji, are you worried about me?" His voice husky and having a teasing tinge to it.
Sasuke cocked his head so he could look into the blond's face. Though he was slightly disappointed when sapphire wasn't what he met, instead of that blue that unfortunately reminded him of Ino's eyes. But just knowing that his dobe was underneath it, the feeling of disgust never came. He looked deep into the other's as he leaned closer to him. Whispering so only the two of them could hear, "Yes, I'm worried." he admitted with more ease than he thought. "We don't know if he was part of it or not."
Even with the vagueness of that statement, Naruto knew exactly what he was talking about. He broke the smoldering gaze the two made as he turned his head slightly and sniffed deeply of Sasuke's scent. Loving it.....getting drunk off of it.
A shiver went through Sasuke's body when he felt the blond nuzzle his nose in his neck and breathed in. Then another shiver occurred when he exhaled his hot breath against his skin. Naruto reopened his eyes, those orbs glazed over with a haziness that the raven's scent caused within his mind. "It makes me glad that you worry about me. It makes me happy....." he whispered near Sasuke's ear.
Then leaned even closer and whispered, "I love you...." and before the other could even say anything, Naruto was already back on the other side of Ruri. His head down and partly hiding the blush that covered his entire face.
He stared at the blond for a long moment with his own light blush on his cheeks. Each second passing causing both sides of his mouth to rise. This movement forming one of his rare smiles that seems only the blond can get out of him. He lifted his head and looked at the blue sky with a new light. Those three words invoking an happiness he hasn't felt in so long. Those words giving him a new leash on life.....
Naruto nervously glanced sideways at Sasuke, wondering what the other's reaction was with what he confessed. But what he saw on the other's features, confused him and only made him more nervous. 'Now is that smile a good sign or is he smiling because he thinks I'm a complete fool to even think that there was chance between us. Hmmm.....'
'I'll pick the first one.' Kyuubi chimed in.
'How do you know that's right?'
The fox chuckle some, ' 'Cause when the hell do you see the Uchiha smile? So he has to be really happy.'
'But that's the point!' he exclaimed, 'I haven't seen him smile enough to decipher which one means which!' He let out a breath and slumped his shoulders at his own conclusion.
'Kit, you're thinking too much into this. Just listen to your gut.'
'Ha! My gut always gets me in trouble! That's the last thing I'll listen to in these types of situations!'
'Fine!' snapped Kyuubi, 'Why do you even bothered to ask for my advice?!'
'I didn't!' he yelled in his defense, causing the fox to begin his rant, 'Why you ungra—' but Naruto blocked off there connection before he could really get started. That would definitely cause him a major headache and spike his nerves sky high.
"So, Hana-chan!" he began in an cheerful voice and a wide fox grin that he just wasn't feeling. But it's better than the awkward and confused emotions that were running through him. He just needed something to take his mind off of what he confessed to Sasuke. Though there was chance that he already knew that he loved him. 'Great, something else that's gonna make me wonder....' "Do you think we'll do good in the exams?!"
Ruri, whose kept her silence so far, turned her head elegantly toward her Captain. "Yes I do, Oturan-san." Thinking that it would be wise if she refrained from calling the blond 'Taichou' while they were in these appearances. Though she began to blink in confusion when Naruto's features suddenly acquired a smug expression. "A-Anou...."
"Aha!" he exclaimed in a kind of triumph. Also catching Sasuke's attention from the sky. "Finally got you to call me by my name!"
Both Ruri and Sasuke lowered their heads in disappointment, both thinking that it was something more important than that. "Dop-Oturan...." he sighed lowly as he shook his head. Ruri also sighed before saying softly, "Yes, Oturan-san." and then lifted her head back up to show her smile to the other, she continued, "But don't worry.....My rudeness will only last until the end of our stay in the chuunin exams." and with a gentle chuckle following when she saw the look on her Captain's face.
The owner of that face stopped in his tracks and stuttered, "B-B-But...." while lifting his hand out fruitlessly with a kicked puppy looked on his face. But neither of the two that kept on walking, turned around to fall in the trap of the look. Which caused Naruto to huffed with a scowl and crossed his arms over his chest as he marched like a spoiled child behind them.
This lasted all but half a minute as they neared the building that the first part of the exams were taking place. Naruto increased his steps until he was walking on the right side of Sasuke, and ignoring the tightening nervous knob in his stomach at being near the raven, he asked lowly so nobody to hear, "So what's the first part consist of anyway?"
An eyebrow quirked on the brunette's face as he turned his head toward the blond, "I thought you were at the last exams?"
"I was at them but I didn't participate. And since only exam participates were allowed within the room at the first part, I have no idea what went on in there. Sooo....." Eying Sasuke like he was holding some kind of village secret. ".....what went on in that room?"
Sasuke stared back forward as they approached the entrance to the building and stated in a monotone voice, "A written test."
And as they walked through the double doors a yell of, "WHAT!!" resounded throughout the area. Causing several villagers near to turn at the loud disruption.
"You got to be kidding me!" Naruto went on like his outburst was something of normal volume. Even though, Sasuke was rubbing his abused ear that so happened to be the closest thing to the blond's mouth. "I don't do good on tests! N-N-Not the written kind! I mean, come on! What can you tell by a fucking test?! What's even on this test?!"
"Equations on different tactical situations." he replied simply.
"I don't know anything about ratios or variables or any shit like that! I deal with a situation when it comes up! I don't know how there can be a right answer to a situation when so many things can go wrong--" The blond's rant was suddenly cut off with Sasuke's hand covering his mouth. Effectively shutting him up and causing a blush to dust his cheeks. Sasuke leaned in close to make sure that only his captive could hear, "Dobe, don't worry 'bout it. If there keeping it like last time, this test is about cheating without getting caught. So I will simply give you the answers with my sharingan. Got it?" And when he received a nod, he released the blond's mouth and put some distance between them.
He then switched his attention to Ruri, "What about you, Hanako-san? Are you gonna be able to answer them?"
She gave a curt nod in his direction and replied, "Yes, I should be able to."
"Good." Sasuke said while his head barely nodded, "At least we only have one idiot." This caused Ruri to suppress a giggle and Naruto to glare at the brunette for his words and grumble underneath his breath, "Bastard...."
The three approached a desk that was positioned right beside the double doors they were suppose to enter. Behind this desk sat two different jounin shinobi of Konoha. As they stopped in front of the desk, one jounin in a green jumpsuit underneath a jounin's vest particularly bolted up from his seat and yelled, "Welcome youthful spirits to the chuunin exams!!!" The other jounin with two brunette buns on her head quickly grabbed the guy's arm and yanked him violently back down in his seat. "Jeez Lee, you already scared four teams off already! We don't want to make them the fifth!"
"But Tenten-san, their shines weren't as bright as--" he was cut off by Tenten's hand roughly slamming over his mouth to shut him up. 'Mou, I don't know how Sakura can deal with him....' Once this was done, she smiled sweetly at the three before her and said in a voice just as sweet, "Your registration forms and village registration cards please."
Sasuke and Ruri reached into their pockets and pulled out the need paper and card. Ruri slightly slower than Sasuke, since she wasn't used to such a......personality. Naruto on the other hand was in complete shock. Not only was the male's personality something that would make you want to become homicidal....or suicidal; and that green spandex bodysuit was something that no man should ever wear. It was beyond wrong.
But those two very disturbing things were nothing compared to the two things living on his face. If he wanted to guess, he would have to say that they were eyebrows. Where they're located is where normal eyebrows would be but those were anything but normal eyebrows. They were mutated. They were just too wide, too hairy and he could swear that they were moving on their own. He leaned closer to the male, his eyes fixed completely on those deformed mounds of hair.
'Don't get too close Kit. Those things look like they could have something living in them. Could attack you know.....'
Naruto snickered audibly, catching the attention of Sasuke and Ruri. Tenten was too busy checking over their forms they already handed her and keeping Lee under control to notice his snicker. Sasuke unexpectedly smirk, which effectively distracted Naruto of the strange man. A predatory gleam with some mischievousness shined in those brown orbs that even if they weren't the onyx that he loved, it still sent a shiver down his spine.
Sasuke took steps that resembled a predator stalking it's prey and stopped when he was standing just two inches from Naruto. Who kept his eyes focused on the other's like he was the only one he could see. Suddenly, Sasuke forced his hand into the blond's left pants pocket. His smirk deepening when a blissful gasp reached his ears. When he didn't find what he was searching for, he pulled his hand out and forced his other hand into the blond's right pants pocket. Rewarding him with another gasp that sent pleasurable chills through his own body.
Once again, he didn't find what he was searching for. He then snaked both his arms behind Naruto's smaller body and stuffed his hands in both the blond's back pants pockets. This rough movement resulted in Naruto breaking the eye contact and stumbling into Sasuke's chest. He lifted his hands to the other's chest and settled them there, digging his blunt nails slightly through the fabric when Sasuke began to move his hands within the pockets.
His breath quickened from the rapidly rising heat and pressed his face against the shoulder in front of him. Biting his lip to stop the moans that kept rising with each movement of the other's hands. "You are quite sensitive." he heard whispered into his ear. "You get turned on so easily."
And the movement on his ass stopped as Sasuke stepped back and held up a folded piece of paper in front of his face. Naruto blinked a couple of times to push aside the lust that clouded over his mind and looked at the paper more clearly. But before his mind could get back up to speed, Sasuke gave away what the paper was. "She asked for your registration form and....." Flipping the paper over, it revealed a plastic card hidden on the other side. ".....registration card." He was tempted to say 'dobe' but decided to go the more common, "Idiot."
Naruto playfully glared at the smirk that was still on the brunette's face. "Bastard....you did that on purpose. I know for a fact that I put those in my left front pocket." That smirk that the blond secretly adorned, widened. And without verbally confirming or denying the accusation, Sasuke turned around and held out the form to a stunned and slightly drooling Tenten.
The latter mentally smacked herself out of her stupor and took the form and card from the boy without making any eye contact. A blush covering her face as she unfolded the piece of paper and scanned over the information recorded there. She then glanced over to the boy's Konoha registration card to confirm his photo identity and details located on the card. Making sure that information matches with the information on the form. Doing this as she's done with all the other participants of the exams.
'Hmmm......I can't believe all three are from Konoha. I've never seen any of them before today.' she physically shrugged the thought away. 'Must of had private training.' she concluded as she finished and said with a smile as she placed all three papers on the pile that held all the Konoha shinobi participating in the exams this year. "You may enter. Good luck in the exams."
She held out their cards and they gladly took them back as Lee, next to her ,struggled futilely. Attempting to say something also but surprising enough, Tenten's hand was still firmly clamped over his mouth. Keeping him on his ass in his seat.
The three quickly passed before the green clad man somehow got out of the woman's hold and began to spout off about this and that of youthfulness. Not something that any of them, including Tenten, wanted to hear. The small group entered into the room and once they stepped through the door, several stares were redirected to them. One team in particular that after a couple of moments of taking in Naruto's appearance caused on of the male teammates to rudely yell in shock.....
"WHAT THE FUCK!!"
1) Michiyuki--are three-quarter length overcoats with square necklines.
2) Fukai-Kage Bunshin no jutsu--Profound shadow clone. (Okay.....my creativity was turned off when I thought this one up. It's really bad but.....I wasn't in the mood to come up with anything better.)
