Uzumaki Twins

Chapter 18

~Chika's pov~

We arrived at the tower, far faster than anyone it appears, and walked inside the door that didn't have any sort of tape closing it off. Inside there was a group of jonin waiting, just like Anko had said there would be. They straightened when they noticed us, as if we were superior ninjas to them. Odd when we are of genin class. Do specialised genin receive better treatment than other shinobi? Or is it that they know that specialised genin are most likely going to become the stronger type of ninjas than average based ones? Odd I am going to have to look into the title of specialised genin.

'You are Hoshi Ryuga, correct?' sensei nodded to the jonin. 'We have been expecting you and your team. Could you please tell us your name so we know who we address?'

'Chika Uzumaki,' I tell him a moment later and he checked it off on the clipboard in his hands. I smiled happily when he didn't narrow his eyes or say horrific words to me. All of the adults in the leaf village know of my brother's and my demon. It is almost as if they knew that they were sealed within us. I understand why the hate us so much but they don't need to direct that hatred at us when we are not the creature, so the sorry fuckers who are their vessels.

'Akira Shibata,' Akira told him, crossing his arms and looked everywhere else as if he were all that. The jonin nodded his head and checked him off the list.

What kind of list does he have anyway?

'Takane Shiba,' she told him with a smile. She is such a sweet and innocent girl. Pfft, yeah right. The next time I say that I am going to throw up.

Takane may act sweet and innocent but she is not, trust me. She is far from such words. Let's say she is worse than me on a normal day. My normal days are where I am probably annoyed or just wish to kill something. That's natural to me because of being in this team. We perform Anbu like missions, which include killing some ninjas that have put down for us to kill. I've grown to like performing assassination attempts. Takane adores it. It's like she was born for all that gruesome shit. Remind me not to get on her bad side. I don't want to be her enemy.

'Good you're all here.' The jonin stated.

No duh! We're turtles come to say hi!

He nodded to one of his teammates and they stepped forward. He held out his hand and in it were four communicators. We each took one, strapped it around our necks and into our ears. I put mine in my right ear.

'We will communicate to you through these. It is just in case that you are out in the forest to pass the time. If you need anything, just use the communicators to ask us anything. We'll be listening out for you, so be aware that if something does happen that you are not on your own.'

We nod and left it at that. The jonin turned and walked away, going back to whatever it was before they came here to meet us. As for the four of us, we just stood like dumb shits as if we were told something extremely surprising. Nope, we just have a shit load of time to pass. The only thing we have to figure out is how we are going to spend it.

'I'm going into the forest!' I announce like an overly excited child.

The three turned to me, more like turned on me. I suddenly felt like the prey, and it felt quite creepy.

'Take someone with you,' sensei ordered a little too bitterly. I blinked at him and he cleared his throat. 'I did not mean it like that.' He looked away as if embarrassed. 'You are now a member of my team and I would be held responsible if something happened to you.'

I smiled and my tension eased. 'Sensei,' he looked to me. 'You do not need worry so much. I can easily defeat Takane and Akira here. I am not someone who is easily beat. Besides, I do not think that I would stupidly risk my life in a Chunin exam. It would look back on you.'

He chuckled. 'Very well, keep us posted in case if anything happens. I would like to know who you see and where you are, just in case.'

'Of course, sensei,' I say with a little bow before heading back out the doors and into the trees.

Leaving my team far behind me I look forward to searching through the forest. What I am mainly looking for is to watch fights happen and to see who possess the potential to become Chunin. That and the fact I want to see if anyone I care and like manages to get through to the next round. Who I mainly hope to see through to the next, and final, round is my brother. He is the one I care for most of all and I really don't want to see his dream go out with a poof.

I stop and listened to my surroundings.

There is an air of danger about the place that hadn't been there before. Either something dangerous has appeared or someone has now gone into a fight. Either way danger has come about. The air doesn't fit to my brother's, or anybody I really know, personality. It seems darker, more sinister, and definitely apt for this forest. Death. That is what I can feel. It means too things for me. One, someone is going to die. And two, someone carries death around with them. Carrying death around is likely to mean that someone kills an awful too much and only causes death no matter the circumstances. So far there is only one person that fits that bill.

Gaara.

I sigh through my nose.

What is that troublesome, tanuki wielding bastard, up to?

I jump from branch to branch, following the direction of death. Where else could that idiot really be? I really should have expected this kind of feeling, especially since he is participating in the Chunin exams. Come on, Chika, what were you thinking?

I jump down and land behind three hiding ninjas. They hadn't yet noticed that I was there. One was a girl, Hinata, and two boys, Shino and Kiba. I smirked and crept forward. I covered Hinata's and Kiba's mouth with my hand, causing them to jump and scream into my mouth. And that is the reason why I covered their mouths to begin with. They turned around and saw me. I smiled at them before releasing the two. I placed a finger to my lips and they nodded.

'Jeez, could you frighten us any more, Chika?' Kiba complained as he moved aside to allow me to fit between him and Hinata.

'Be quite, you idiot,' I hissed at him. 'Do you want to get killed?'

'I believe that Chika is on about the situation, rather than killing you herself,' Shino translated as he saw Kiba's expression.

Damn this guy is as dumb, or even dumber, than my own brother. And Naruto misinterprets a lot. Look back to when I went to the sand village with my old team for that stupid letter mission. See how he assumed I was dating Sasuke and then cheating on him with Gaara. Pfft, brothers are such dips.

'Oh, right,' he said not even hinting at an apology. I didn't even ask for one because I know how he is.

We turn to the scene in front of us. Three guys from the rain village Vs three from the sand, hmm, what a lovely battle. I would originally say that if it weren't Gaara battling there. And for one second, it is not because I like the guy, because I seriously do not. He tried to kill me, he threatened me, he threatened my brother and he's a complete ass taken over by his demon. I don't listen or like guys like that. I prefer mine to be in control. Oh and have bulging muscles. Gaara's figure is muscular toned, you can clearly see it, but it's not how I like it. I prefer the muscles to strain at the t-shirt.

Gaara is nowhere near my type.

Besides, I like my guys to be black haired, not red or auburn as Akira would argue.

I cannot hear what they are saying. I can feel the atmosphere heat up, that's for sure, but I don't have super hearing like my dog friend Kiba has. Pointless in asking when you can feel the shift in atmosphere as the two teams stare each other down. There is one thing that I can seriously admit to. Gaara needs to work on his social skills. He absolutely sucks!

I didn't even blink as the scene unfolded before me.

The rain ninja got pissed grabbed his umbrellas and threw them into the air. They're made of wooden poles and black paper looking like covers. The rain ninja performed a sign and the umbrellas start to spin in the air, staying suspended in the air as if wind is keeping them afloat. But I heard the sound before it struck. It's strange. I can see the weapons that were flying out of the umbrellas and there are a large number of them. A senbon rain storm! Deadly and utterly accurate! Most ninja would be in deep shit with that as their opponent. With Gaara? Not a chance. I already know the outcome of the battle since sensing the redhead.

Dust exploded out when the senbon struck. It dispersed quickly, knocking the big rain ninja's smirk off his face. Surrounded in hardened sand, stood Gaara with his infamous arms crossed over his chest and neutral expression trademark. How many of his expressions have I seen now? I have seen surprised, shock, angry, glare, death, bloodlust, hatred and that's about it. I have yet to see him show signs of something positive. Oh wait… No, that doesn't count as one. He was angry that time too when people in the sand threw stuff at me. Oh wait, I got him to smirk with amusement. He generally looked happy that time. There's one positive. Hurray for me! Not!

The guy's still an ASS!

Slowly the sand begun to collapse and fall to the floor with the senbon sticking out. More talking was exchanged but I could only notice the expressions on their faces. Temari was amused. Kankuro didn't look bothered just intellectual as he explained to the rain ninja. And the rain ninja were frightened, as if seeing a monster for the first time. Okay, he isn't a monster. Just because he has a demon in him does not make Gaara a monster. Of course only those like him, like Naruto and me, would be able to understand that. I don't think anyone else would want to.

The talking was finished. Gaara begun to act. His hand shot up at his command and engulfed the rain ninja. I knew what was coming. He had never performed the technique on me but I have noticed him use it on other ninja or people that looked at him wrongly. He was going to use the sand coffin. He was going to crush him to defeat in one blow. Of course it terrifies the fuck out of others but it is a quick death for those trapped in it. At least he is merciful in some points, even if he carries it through to the end.

I don't want to be on his bad side either.

And I'm going to become a bloody pussy that has a phobia of everything at the rate I am going. I should not fear anyone. It's just plain stupid. I am a ninja, a specialised ninja that is above the ranks of others. But maybe Gaara is a specialised ninja too. He is far above the average level of genin. He appears like an Anbu with his skills and his experience with death and all the other necessities required. Maybe others haven't realised that there are special ninjas out there. Or is that only those with demons in them?

Akira, Takane and Hoshi-sensei are normal ninja. They don't have a demon and yet they are specialised ninja. Well they are classed as it but it has not been proven in anyway. To me they appear as normal ninja, or is it just me not seeing it? Maybe they are hiding something and do not yet wish me to know of it? Looks like I am going to have to be digging into my teammates stuff after all.
