"Blessed is he who has created time, for it is so much faster! The Chuunin Exams are upon us!" Naruto screamed happily to the heavens, while holding up a bowl of Ramen. Everyone else in the vicinity, excluding his teammates, watched on with rather large sweat-drops.
"Is this," Hashirama gestured to the scene, "a normal occurrence?"
"Pretty much," both girls chimed happily.
"Well," Minato sighed as he stared at the calendar, "he's right, the Chuunin Exams are in two days…WAIT A MINUTE! TWO DAYS!"
"Yeah, so?" Naruto asked as he slurped his ramen.
"That means the Akatsuki are arriving tomorrow!" Instantly Kushina and the rest of the Hokages paled considerably.
"Your point?"
"The Akatsuki second-in-command, Hidan, is the father of Hicha. Despite what you may think, those two like to fight, especially with each other. Chances are they're going to cause massive damage to the village and corrupt the minds of young children with their swearing!" Minato helpfully explained while all but yelling.
"So? With Naruto here, that occurs on a daily basis," Tenten said in a matter-of-fact tone.
The Yondaime Hokage slammed his head on a wall.
"Are you positive that letting them in is the best choice we have?" Tsunade asked as she and Cleopatra had lunch in her office. Silencing seals had been placed on the perimeters of the room and extra locks had been placed on the door, along with a large bookcase to keep anyone from barging in. The glass however, was enchanted with some of Cleopatra's 'magic', so that only someone of their trusting could actually break through it. The windows had also been enchanted, preventing ANBU from barging in unless they were actually needed, Kakashi for obvious reasons and Jiraiya lest he had valuable information that included a woman's measurements. Thank Kami for that.
"Tsu-chan, my husband is the leader and I practically raised the gaki that's his second-in-command. In fact, that gaki is my nephew, so the only threat they pose of is corrupting the minds of young children via swearing or traumatizing pranks. Oh, and expect a training ground isolated from the rest of the village to have horrendous damage within the next month or two," the goddess supplied before she took a bite of her delicious Korean barbecue. Delicious.
"Need I ask?" Tsunade responded with a sweat-drop.
"Nah, lest you need to hear a depressing story about Hicha's past. Anyway, Yugakure will only be sending one team, and it is comprised of three members of my family." The Sannin paled.
"Who?"
"Well, my second-born daughter, who has the best chance to become the goddess that takes this hat from me," Cleopatra summoned a Kage hat with a turquoise color scheme and the kanji for 'Yu', "and my two youngest granddaughters, who, unfortunately, are known as the pranking twins."
Tsunade paled so badly that she made snow look like dirt, "Pranking?"
"Hai, but, that's their quirk. My daughter has the quirk of being their unfortunate controller, and such has the tendency to do movie-related moments such as a drama-protagonist-leader moment. Also, she's engaged to the apprentice of my husband, so if those farts on the council think they can engage her to the Uchiha brat, then they're in for a rude awakening."
"Do these 'quirks', have a tendency to blatantly point themselves out at the worst possible moment?"
"If it's to relieve tension, then yeah, pretty much. Tsunade, they come from a village where the human ninja are dead or have such depilating pasts that they have to stay in Yugakure for the sake of the sanity of other people. It doesn't help that they're goddesses, and have a higher amount of peer pressure than many could believe at such a young age. In fact, Tsunade, do you think you could handle the pressures of being an immortal with near limitless power, yet with an equal amount of responsibility?"
"…If I think about it, then it would probably be a no."
"Exactly. They may be older than you, but by the standards of our kind, they are still pubescent teenagers facing things that their psyche is being pressured by that someone so young shouldn't have to face. That's why all gods have a quirk, so that they can handle the responsibilities they have. When you think about it, their problems are similar to that of a veteran shinobi."
'She has a point,' Tsunade thought sullenly. 'Most veteran shinobi are driven to the brink of insanity do to all the killing they have to commit. Despite all those years of experience and training, it comes down to a point when they realize, subconsciously, that they're human just like everyone else. Either they quit being a shinobi, purposely get themselves killed on a mission, or develop a quirk, just to handle it all. When it comes right down to it, gods aren't any different than humans.'
"Tsu-chan, I should probably tell you that the only reason actually told any of this is because I wanted to give you a decent example of what should happen when it comes to my husband's quirk." Tsunade face faulted.
"What does he do?"
"He freezes anyone that says that he's whipped or that he's the bitch of our relationship, forgetting the fact that it's true," Cleopatra answered nonchalantly. Tsunade felt her sweat-drop grow considerably.
"Oji, why do we have to hide our faces? Do you know how hot it is?" Hidan complained as he hand fanned himself while his uncle only sighed. Behind him, Yugakure's corresponding team for the exams was conversing silently, reviewing plans and mulling over possible occurrences. Itachi as well was tasked to come along with these five, making only half a dozen people originating from Yugakure with any relation to the Chuunin Exams, excluding those already there.
"Hidan, you're supposed to be the most infamous Yu Nuke-nin in the Bingo Book, and yet all you're complaining is about the hot weather instead of the chance that someone may discover you. Be lucky that these trench coats are chakra-laced so there is no major need to worry, or so help me I would kick your ass to kingdom come," Timon growled in a low tone.
"Pull that stick out of your ass Oji. I know that the only reason you've been all wound up lately is because you've been sexually deprived these past few months. It's nothing to fret over. Besides, your whipped ass will see Obaa-chan once more, so get over it," The Jashinist responded in a matter-of-fact tone. Timon, despite his face being hidden by the hood, was twitching rather…horrendously. Hidan noticed from the occasional, yet miniscule, spasms that his muscles tend to give when he gained a twitch; that and the fact that he knew how to get on the bastard's nerves.
Timon clenched his hands into fists before holding his arm out to stop the group. Everyone complied immediately. This was normal. "Hidan," Timon looked at his nephew with a level glare, "I would draw out your scythe if I were you."
Hidan did so…and deflected a blast of ice. Timon had jumped back and had his right arm out, with two of his fingers pointing in the direction of his nephew. Their traveling companions sighed and jumped back, to watch the spectacle of battle that was to come.
After all, this was the main reason why they were arriving at the last possible moment.
"Dumbass is in battle with someone that isn't me," Hicha grumbled darkly as she leaned into the embrace of Kaisho. Her sixth sense, as ridiculous as it maybe, was the ability to sense when her father was in battle with someone other than herself.
"I will never get how you manage to sense that your father is in battle with someone that's not you," Kaisho sighed as he closed his eyes.
"He's in battle with Oji."
"How do you know that?" Kaisho was a tad bit scared. Normally, this would freak out a normal person, but he wasn't normal. It also doesn't help that this was his girlfriend.
"When I felt the sensation of my sense, it was frigid cold. Years of experience have taught me that when that happens, that means he's in battle with Oji. Thus, I get these sensations on a daily basis," Hicha divulged to her boyfriend, who had the sudden urge to bang his head on a wall.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Tsunade cried to the heavens as she and Cleopatra made their way to the dreaded council chambers. Apparently, some idiotic dipshit (*CoughBahiCough*) found it necessary to call a council meeting. That was definitely not under their jurisdiction.
"Tsunade, this is why Yugakure did away with their council years ago; they're just a pain in the ass. Besides, aren't they supposed to be an advisory council?" Cleopatra questioned as she took another bite of her food, which was contained in a simple rice bowl.
"Sarutobi-sensei had to lord off some power to them. He was tired, Cleopatra. He just wasn't up to taking the reins again," Tsunade sighed.
"Then why don't you just take it back? In fact, I have enough shit on them to get them executed for treason," Cleopatra grinned evilly. Tsunade eyes sparkled as she hugged her fellow female Kage.
"You are officially my best friend. Now, about that shit on them…" Cleopatra lifted a manila folder, with that shit-eating grin still in place. Tsunade let go of her grabbed it, and analyzing the contents with a careful eye. Not a single detail was left unanalyzed.
"Now this is some good blackmail. Do you have another folder of shit on them?" the Sannin giggled as she and her newly made best friend continued their way to the chambers. After reviewing everything, Tsunade snapped the file shut and handed it to Cleopatra, who 'magically' made it disappear.
Entering the chambers, what the scene looked like could be concluded into one word; Pandemonium. Left and right the elders and the Shinobi side of the council were raving mad as they argued with the civilian side and the majority of the minor clan heads. Bahi, instigator of the meeting, was screeching up a storm; thankfully not laced with chakra, or it may rupture the hearing of Inuzuka Tsume, who, while still arguing, was rubbing her ears like several other Inuzuka Clan members who were within the village limits. The origin of Sakura's voice was now discovered, unfortunately on the account of many Inuzuka.
"SILENCE!" The chakra-laced yell instantaneously quieted down the chambers. Pandemonium was instantly grabbed by its throat at the hands of the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade, and had all its life squeezed out.
"Bahi, what you committed is not under your jurisdiction and can be charged as treason! Be glad that I will be lenient on you seeing as the Chuunin Exams are upon us, or so help me, Ibiki may have had a new…toy, to play with," The Haruno clan head paled considerably, as his numerous agressors smirked inwardly. "Now, I want an explanation on why you found it necessary to call a meeting without my consent."
"It is concerning the Yugakure shinobi and their participation in the exams," Bahi responded as he rubbed his sore throat.
"Ma, what's wrong? I see no problem with their participation in the exams. Yet I find it strange that you had the gall to call a meeting for this when the Yukage herself is present in the village," Tsunade concluded as she rubbed her head in fake bewilderment. Many a shinobi were already having trouble trying not to show even a twitch of difference in their demeanor, as many were already on the brink of laughter.
"Yukage-sama, is it true your daughter is on the only team that Yugakure is sending for the Chuunin Exams?" Bahi asked, a smirk playing on his lips. Instantaneously, both Tsunade and Cleopatra narrowed their eyes at Bahi. Cleopatra had recently informed her fellow Kage that no one outside of Yugakure and said Kage knew that her daughter was to be in the Chuunin Exams, for the simple fact of safety. How a minor clan head grasped that kind of information is either because security is lacking, or the possibility of a traitor in the higher ups.
"Bahi, that is classified information. If that spread to the public, we may risk pandemonium on a higher scale," Tsunade growled. Bahi had full blown smirk now.
"Nonetheless, you have been in the village for quite some time, and we fear you may divulge the strength and weaknesses of our Genin to your precious daughter. Granted, the life of a shinobi is not fair, however, it may cause a political incident."
"…Bahi, let me make this loud and clear. My daughter would never accept my meddling with her competition in the exams. She likes a challenge, which is a trait shared in our family, so don't even think that I would ruin that just so she could have a promotion. Let me tell you something; that girl does not only have the skills, but also the heart and the drive to be the ninja that I pass my hat on to. She realizes what the severity of secrets is, and she will respect the privacy of the village," Cleopatra explained, her voiced laced with a commanding tone. Bahi growled, realizing he couldn't doubt the word of a Kage, let alone one that Tsunade was rather close with.
"By the way, how did you get that kind of information? No one outside of Yugakure, me and Cleopatra are supposed to know this," Tsunade questioned, her lips threatening to open up in a face-splitting grin.
Bahi, who was sweating bullets, was hard-pressed to come up with an answer, "Ano…um…"
"I suppose I will this slide, just this once, but if this happens again, heads will roll. Now, are there any other pressing matters that we need to attend to?" Tsunade questioned. After five minutes of silence, she closed the meeting and left the chambers.
Now, onto to the three stooges-I mean, Team 7, who were currently training their asses off. Translation: Sasuke was copying jutsu that Kakashi showed him and Sakura was cheering on like the superficial fan-girl she is. Meh, it was normal. Unfortunately, Kakashi, despite his skill as a Jounin, was unable to detect the chakra signatures of 4 people; the three other senseis and Mitarashi Anko. That goes to show how much the bastard slacked off.
"Yo," Asuma greeted half-heartedly with a slight glare as he along with his girlfriend crossed their arms. Gai had an obvious, disappointed glint in his eye, while Anko had that same sadistic, mischievous look, only it was slightly…amplified. Kakashi looked at them with a bored look.
"We just wanted check up on you and your students, just in case you were wondering," Kurenai's frigid cold tone confused Kakashi while his two present students shivered. Hey, she wasn't called the Ice Queen of Konoha for nothing.
"What I want to know is how you got here without me noticing," Kakashi sighed as he flipped through the pages of his book.
Anko snorted, "We're shinobi, and if you couldn't detect us, then that means you've been slacking off on your training in favor of that traitor over there." She gestured to Sasuke, who in turn, along with his banshee of a fan girl, glared at the veteran kunoichi.
"What is the real reason you're here?"
"This," Asuma dropped a scroll to the ground.
(Oto)
"You'd think after being beaten into a state like this he would learn his lesson," Orochimaru commented to Kabuto as they looked over a mutilated, half-dead Jiraiya. The medic-nin nodded in agreement as he channeled chakra to heal the toad Sannin.
"Some things will never change."
"Sonuva-FUCK!" Hidan dove to the side just in time before a proportionally large icicle spear pierced him. He continued to keep on running around as giant ice dragons chased him like he was they haven't eaten in years.
"I love my job," Timon smirked.
I'm alive!. Don't murder me, school got in the way…Along with writer's block and my ever changing obsessions. First it was Wrestling, then it was Fullmetal Alchemist and Now it's Yu-Gi-Oh!
Anyway, R&R!
