Yay new chapter! I actually had a lot of fun writing thins hahaha.
Disclamer: I own nothing except the plot and Joe & Alasia.
Chapter 17
~Joe's POV~
When we got back to the present, we ended up right outside the big arena where the 3rd chunin exams are held. We could hear a huge crowd inside and saw some stragglers quickly run in.
"I guess the 3rd exam is about to start." Alasia pointed out.
"Yes! We didn't miss Naruto's fight!" I fist pumped in the air. Just then, I got an idea.
"Hey Alasia. . . let's make a big entrance. . . you know. . . to get everyone pumped up and what not." She smirked.
"What do you have in mind?"
~Normal POV~
Naruto and the rest of the gennin were in the middle of the arena with Genma. He was telling them who will go first and showing a chart that stated who will fight with who and when.
"Alright, Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuuga will fight first. You stay here. The rest need to go to the waiting room." The gennin were about to leave when. . .
Bang!
A huge cloud of dust appeared. In it were two figures.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all people with in our nations"
"To announce the awesomeness of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Joe"
"Alasia"
"Team Kurama blast in of at the speed of light"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight"
"Hell yeah, that's right!"
*pose*
*insert cricket noise here*
"Team. . . Kurama?" Alasia turned to her partner.
"What? The fox is freekin awesome! Poor guy is terribly misjudged. Besides I don't see you coming up with a better name."
"Well maybe I d-"
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP MESSING AROUND AND LET THE EXAM CONTINUE!" The two girls looked up to see Sarutobi standing with smoke coming out of his nose. He was pissed.
"Aw sorry 3rd. Didn't mean to bug ya." Joe said sheepishly.
"Yeah honest." Alasia added. "Just wanted to lighten the mood."
The Hokage sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Alright, just. . . go to your post please." The girls smiled and saluted.
"It seems you have some wild shinobi, Hogake-sama." 3rd walked back to sit next to the Kazekage.
"They may be like that, but they are very reliable shinobi." If I'm right then they must have just gotten back from the past. Good thing Kakashi gave me a head's up when they left.
~Back in the arena~
Joe and Alasia turned from the Hokage to face the gennin and Genma only to see all of them sweat-dropping.
"What?" Joe asked.
"You guys appear out of know where, give some weird speech and then get the Hokage to yell at you. Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru sighed.
"Oi! Not troublesome, just different. Besides, Shikamaru, it's people like us that make the world interesting." Joe poked his forehead.
"Hey!" Shikamaru put his hand to his head where Joe poked him.
"Come on Joe, leave poor Shika alone. We should let the first match start."
"Wait! Where have you guys been?" Naruto crossed his arms and pouted.
Both girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Oh you know, just chilling in the past with your parents and saw your dad become Hokage, that's all. Yeah can't say that. Alasia thought.
"We. . . uh. . . training! We were doing some secret training." Joe ruffled his hair.
"Why didn't you bring me!" He threw his hands in the air in exasperation.
"Because you were with Ero-senin. He is a much better teacher for you than us." Alasia gave him a smile. "Maybe next time."
Ok fine. To make up for it, you better make sure to watch my fight! I'm going to kick Neji's butt!"
"No you're not. It's not your destiny." Neji glared at them. Joe and Alasia walked over to the Hyuuga, giving him their own icy glare.
"If you knew, just half of what we know. . ." Alasia started.
"You would put your head between your legs and kiss you bum good bye." Joe finished. Both snickered, like they good see the pain he was going to be in and reveled in it, and walked away. Neji may have seemed unfazed but if you looked closely you could see his hands shaking slightly. Those two are scary when they want to be. Genma thought.
I don't hate Neji, I just can't wait to see him get sense knocked into him. Joe thought.
"Good luck Naruto!" Alaisa called over her shoulder.
"Yeah, kick his butt for me!" Joe raised her arm and gave him the thumbs up.
"Where do you think you're going?" Genma asked. They stopped and turned, giving him a questioning look.
"You guys are the examiners with me. I don't know why all three of us need to be here but it's what the Hokage wants." Said girls had a silent conversation, talking threw facial expressions. A trick they learned.
Do you think the old man knows something's up?
Probably or he just wants us on guard since Pedo in on the loose.
"Okay! Let's get started then" Joe went to stand next to Genma on his right, Alasia went to his left.
*cough* "Alright the same rules apply from the preliminaries, there are no rules. The fight ends when one of you dies or gives up. We will stop the fight if we think it is over." Both boys nod their heads in understanding.
"Round one, FIGHT!" Joe yells out. Alasia covers her mouth to keep herself from laughing.
"It will be fun to watch you fall when you discover reality." Neji mocks. He moves into his fighting stance and smirks.
"Stop blabbering and fight!" Naruto shoots back with a determined grin plastered on his face.
They stand there, sizing each other up. Eventually Naruto makes the first move and creates a few Kage Bunshin.
"Go, Naruto, Go!" Joe whispers.
"You shouldn't be biased since you're an examiner, Joe." Alasia chuckled.
"Aw come on. Name one person who mastered Kage bunshin like that at his age. He even did it before he was a gennin!"
"Really?" Genma looked curious. Both girls smirked.
"Yep, I'm telling ya. When Naruto gets older, he will be a force to be reckoned with. I bet you anything his story will be a legend." Joe crossed her arms and continued to watch the match.
Alasia marched over to Joe and smacked her in the back of the head. "Idiot! You're talking too much again!" she hissed.
"Oops" She chuckled sheepishly.
Genma sighed. They turned their attention back to the match. Naruto was barely standing, he looked so beaten up. Neji was glaring at him.
"I will tell you the Hyuuga's destiny of hatred."
Everyone got tense. The Hyuuga's all knew what was coming. Alasia and Joe remembered this speech. It's the one all about Neji's background.
Neji raises his hands to take his head band off. He showed Naruto the cursed seal on his forehead and continued on with his story. (A/N I don't think I need to write his story everyone should know it hahaha ;) )
Once he was done telling everyone about his father, the Hyuuga put his head band back on.
"It's your destiny to lose to me. There is no doubt." Neji smirked.
"We won't know until it's over!" Naruto panted. "I don't know how much it hurt for your dad to die but believing that destiny is all decided just because of that is a huge mistake!"
Both Alasia and Joe reacted in subtle ways to what Naruto had said. Alasia's eyes saddened while Joe clenched her fists. Both were thinking back to what Minato had said before they left.
We may not have been there for the first 12 years of his life but we will be here for some of the most important ones. We will keep our promise. Joe thought with determination resounding throughout her body.
Poor kid. His father died when he was just a baby. He never had the chance to even know his dad. For Naruto and his parents, we will be there to help guide him in the right direction. I know Joe will make sure we do. Alasia smiled at the last part of her thought. She was just as determined as Joe to keep the promise made.
"You're hopeless" Neji ran to Naruto, punching him in the gut. "Examiners, it's over. . . Humph loser."
Joe and Alasia's eyebrows twitched. Genma moved back slightly, feeling some killer intent leak form the girls next to him. It's a good thing they know what happens or Neji would be done for.
"I-I won't run. I don't go back on my word." *cough* Naruto slowly stood up and raised his head to look at Neji. "There is no way I'll lose to a coward who complains about destiny and doesn't try to do anything about it!" Both girls had to restrain themselves from cheering for their favorite blond.
"An ignorant brat like you shouldn't be lecturing." Neji pointed at Naruto with rage. "YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND THE BURDEN OF HAVING A SYMBOL YOU COULD NEVER GET RID OF!"
Joe growled lowly and crouched down a little. Alasia grabbed her shoulder to hold her back. When Joe looked up at her friend, she saw the furry in her eyes, and then turned her attention back to the boys. The ignorant one is you, Neji. They both thought.
Naruto slowly grabbed his stomach. He looked Neji strait in the eye. "Yeah. . . I can. . . so what?" He smirked. Both girls let out a breath they didn't realize they held.
Neji glared at the blond but he ignored it. Naruto continued to lecture him, trying to get through to the boy. When he was done talking, Naruto started to cough up blood.
"I closed all 64 chakra points. You can't use your chakra so how will you fight?" he paused. "You and Hinata's destinies are the same. Both will lose."
"Shut up! Stop using that Byakugan like it tells you everyone's destiny! I'm definitely going to beat you!"
You could see Naruto got an idea from the look on his face. It was almost like a light bulb lit up in his head. He put his hands together in a sign to gather chakra.
The girls knew what was coming but everyone else was shocked. Naruto tapped into the Kyuubi's chakra. Neji used his Byakugan to look at Naruto's chakra flow. When he did, he jumped back in fear.
Hmph, Don't say it didn't warn you. Joe smirked. Alasia chuckled at the looked on her friend's face, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
"He's using the Kyuubi's chakra isn't he?" Genma whispered. Both girls confirmed it with a nod.
Joe cupped her hands around her mouth and took in a deep breath. "FINISH HIM" she yelled in her best manly voice. Alasia burst out laughing while Genma shook his head. these two are just plain weird.
Concentrating on the fight, everyone could see that Naruto's speed doubled. Neji could barely follow his movements. Kunia's clashed, shuriken flew but it was the final confrontation that had everyone in suspense. A big cloud of dust cleared to reveal to big holes in the ground. Soon Neji climbed out of one. Everyone thought Neji had one when out of nowhere, Naruto came from under the ground and punching his opponent in the chin simultaneously.
"KO!" Joe yelled.
"Winner, Naruto Uzumaki!" Genma shouted. The crowd, amazed that Naruto won, started to clap and cheer for the boy. Alasia and Joe ran up to Naruto and glomped him like there was no tomorrow.
"Ahh! Guys your squishing me! Hahaha" Both girls picked him up and ran around the arena yelling "HE WON! EAT THAT!" and "COME AT ME BRO!" The crowd started laughing at the girls and their wild display of victory. Up in the stands, Sarutobi shook his head and chuckled.
Genma walked over to Neji. "Heh, even a caged bird, if it's clever enough, will try to break its cage with its beak, never giving up its desire to freely fly in the sky. . . This time you have lost." He smiked as he looked up at the group running around.
Eventually the girls let Naruto go so he can go to the waiting room and walked back over to Genma. It was time for the next match!
I was having a field day when I had Joe and Alasia say the team rocket motto hahaha not to mention having Joe yell out Mortal Kombat lines XD So what do you think? Was it to your liking? I will try to up the funny stuff more. I like to keep you guys smiling ;D *hint* reviews get me fired up to write more ;)
