Uzumaki Twins

Chapter 14

~Chika's pov~

I looked up from the bottom to the first team that had arrived. It was one of the leaf teams, one I didn't know. There were all boys and they moved over Takane's side of the room. Two of them sat down and the other leaned against the window with crossed arms. Their expressions read they were tough and that they could accomplish anything. I, on the other hand, had a different opinion about them. They wouldn't last this part of the exam. They didn't look particularly smart but then again I might just be making early assumptions.

The door was opened again and another team came in. This time it was a sound team. The lead person was slouched with a large white furred thing on his back. His sleeves on his grey jacket were too long for him and one of his eyes was covered with a bandage that wrapped around the most part of his head. He wore grey and black camouflage trousers and black ninja sandals. The other wore a yellow top with Japanese writing on it, camouflage trousers and a black shirt underneath his top. The third was a female. She wore the same trousers, a green sleeveless jacket and her long black hair was tied at the bottom. All of them were wearing the same camouflage scarves around their necks.

'Keep an eye on them,' Sensei took the words right out from my mouth.

I watched them carefully as they moved down the steps and took residence in the middle of the middle column. It took ages for other ninja teams to come in but I guess you could say it was worth the wait. About half of the participants had arrived and the door opened again to reveal a team I thought I wouldn't see again. Temari, Kankuro and Gaara had entered the room. The three were determined to do this but they had something in their eyes this time. A difference, a stronger resolve to what I had seen last time. Whatever had happened, it had been upped and they were ready to get on with it. Gaara of course showed little concern over anything and as usual he looked ready to kill someone.

'I would definitely recommend keeping a very watchful eye on this group,' I spoke up and looked away when the three of them turned to look at me. 'I've encountered them on a mission to the sand village. They're strong and the red-head is dangerous. He has a high blood lust and is always willing to kill people. Just be careful.'

They all managed to spot my sensei and my teammate Takane, but they hadn't yet spotted Akira at the back of the room or me at the front in the dark corner near the door. Our mission is to observe. No talking to them, just observe and keep a security check around the place. So far there seems to be no one around ready to cause a threat to the exams. Actually it seems rather peaceful. If you could count that the sound and the sand seem to be a suspicious pair then yeah it seems quite peaceful. If my calculations are correct, I doubt that something would happen during the written exam, unless you count an annoying loudmouth.

Well for at least an hour had passed and the whole time the door kept opening and closing and it was kind of irritating me to the extreme. Can't we just blow it up or something? But by that time, two of the three leaf rookie team's had come in. All that's left is most likely my former team and my annoying loudmouth of a brother to arrive. I guess I could expect them soon. Guessing on Kakashi-sensei's attitude towards them and with me, he would talk to the three of them before allowing them into the room. I guess it's what other sensei's have done only to check to see if all three are going to participate.

Looking at the crowd right about now, the mass number is little in team wise, but when you count them individually as a person and not a team, there's quite a lot. Including my brother's team there would be a head count of a hundred and fifty-three ninja attempting the Chunin exams. Ultimately there are fifty-one teams. There are thirty ninja from the sand equally ten teams; twenty-one from the rain with seven teams, fifteen from the grass with five teams, twelve from the waterfall with four teams, seventy-two from the leaf with twenty-four teams, and three from the sound with one team.

I guess there are quite a lot of people to keep an eye out for. However only two teams out of the whole fifty here are suspicious enough for us to keep an eye out for.

The door opened again and my temper almost burst. I looked up and glared at the people who opened the door only to see it was my brother and his team. I widened my eyes in shock before smiling. It's great to see him looking so confident. It's too bad that he'll be placed in a nervous wreck once he realises that the first exam is a written one. Poor big brother, I could almost feel sorry for him.

A guy with ash-grey hair approached the three rookie teams and begun talking to them. To be honest he doesn't appear quite dangerous so I didn't bother telling the others to keep an eye on him. However, I did keep an eye on him. He was interacting with my brother so there is no doubt that I wouldn't keep an eye out. He may not look dangerous but I have never trusted others around Naruto. Well people I don't know.

I close my eyes and keep my senses alert. My hearing, my sense of smell, my chakra detection, anything that will hint of something going wrong. Everyone's chakra level was calm and unused. So far there is no hint, but I won't put down my guard. Not for a single second.

'Ahhhhhh!' a voice called out across the room.

I opened my eyes to look at my brother with wide eyes. What is he doing?

'My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to beat every one of you. Believe it!'

I opened my mouth in disbelief. Everyone in the room, besides my team and me, had turned to glare at him. I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand before hitting it against the wall. Why does my brother have to be too stupid enough to not be scared of a mass amount of competition? It's a good thing he isn't scared, but he could at least learn to keep his mouth shut.

'Who would have thought your twin brother would be so energetic,' sensei said with a chuckle.

'He's kind of cute; at least he's doing good, right Chika?' Takane said with a giggle.

'I wonder if you're like that Chika, or if you're the silent type,' Akira asked.

Oh great, now my team has second thoughts. Great, thanks Naruto, you really are a troublemaker.

Silent, me? Yeah right. Everyone else can see that I ain't a silent type like Shino Aburame. No I am like Naruto, very much so. We're twins, how can we not be? But I know when to become serious and when to not look down on situations. I know when to preserve or when to end something. Unlike my brother, I use my brains in order to calculate situations, atmospheres and moods. I don't look down on people but I must definitely do boost myself like he does. By claiming that we're going to defeat everyone who comes across us.

I moved away from the wall but still remaining in the shadows. I turned to look at the scene when something struck me. I know that time has passed and the rookies have been talking with that ash-grey haired guy, but something has been decided. Someone's aura has changed. I looked all around the room, trying to search where it was coming from but I couldn't seem to get a grasp of it.

'Do you feel it, Chika?' sensei asked and I looked in his direction and nodded. 'Takane, Akira?'

'Yeah, it's strong,' Takane answered.

'That guy was talking about the candidates from other villages and spoke badly about the sound,' Akira informed.

'Where are the sound ninjas?' I ask trying to search for them myself.

'I have them in my sights,' sensei answered. 'But they definitely seem to have changed posture. I think they're ready to strike. Prepare yourselves!'

I moved. I had no choice to, because I felt that it was the right moment. I jumped from desk to desk without anyone none the wiser and immediately got before the sound ninja and the ash-grey haired guy. I stopped his blow, but not just his blow but the sound attack that would have damaged my ear drum. His arm was covered in a device that amplified his attack through the wind. He looked at me with a wide eye and I kicked him in his stomach sending him away. His teammates appeared by his side and glared at me. My team was immediately by my side with my sensei a little behind.

'That's enough fighting, sound ninja,' my sensei spoke with authority.

'What are you, the patrol squad?' the guy in yellow cussed.

'Another word like that out of your mouth and I'll strike you accordingly,' Akira spoke with a threatening voice.

'Want to try your luck?' the same sound guy answered. He parted his legs and crossed his arms at the wrists. I widened my eyes in realisation. He was going to strike.

I rushed forward, grabbed his hand and slung him over my shoulder and onto the floor. I slammed my foot onto his right hand and he screamed out in pain. I grabbed a kunai out from its holster and altered its structure with chakra. Instead of a black kunai in my hand it was a blue chakra based sword that was now pointing at his throat. I applied pressure whenever he tried to move or throw me off him. I didn't want him taking the chance to attack.

'That's enough,' I said narrowing my eyes. 'You are prohibited from fighting unless it is part of the exam.'

'You're fast and quick at calculations and making decisions,' the guy's teammate complimented me. I turned my head to look at him. 'You must be some sort of security. To prevent attacks or prohibitions from being broken, am I right?'

'If you know as much then you should not have chosen to strike out at someone. Even if to punish them for speaking wrongly!' I told him. 'Next time I won't be so easy on any of you. Let this just be a warning.'

I released the chakra around the kunai and watched as it returned to normal. I pocketed it and took my foot off his hand. I stepped away and watched them for a moment longer before turning to the side and looking at the male who made the wrong decision to speak wrongly of the sound. I narrowed my eyes at him and saw him turn his head away. I sigh and look at the rookies for a moment. I turned to my brother and smiled, waved before walking down the stairs to retake my position. I saw the sand team and looked at them. They in turn looked back. Temari and Kankuro were standing there with gaping mouths and Gaara was just impassive as usual. At least this time he didn't narrow or glare at me as I passed him. I even felt him watching my back as I kept walking.

I took position by the door and waited for the proctor and instructors to finish being debriefed or waiting for the perfect moment to introduce themselves.

Smoke burst into the room and a voice boomed out from within.

'Alright you baby faced degenerates, pipe down and listen up.'

Slowly the smoke started to clear up and I smirked at what I could see. Ibiki had finally arrived alongside the rest of the group. There were a number of them and all of them were smirking as if they have faced tougher foes. They most likely have but who's to say there isn't tough opponents here. There was a mix of males and females and for that I was glad. Although there was more of a majority of males than there were females.

'It's time to begin,' scar face said with a smirk. 'I am Ibiki Morino, your proctor, and from this moment your worst enemy.'

Mr tough guy, I thought with a smirk.
