Woo hooo! Another chapter done. This one gave me some trouble but ended up being fun to write in the end.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but one day I will win the lottery and then I will XD hahaha
Chapter 18
"Hey Genma, who is fighting in the next match?" To be honest, I don't remember the order of the fights except that Naruto fought first and Sasuke fought last. It has been a few years since I read the chunin exam arch.
"It's Gaara Subaku and Sasuke Uchiha." That's not good. I immediately grab Alasia's arm and start shaking her.
"I thought he went last! What are we going to do!" I hissed. She grabbed me by the shoulders to stop me.
"Joe! Calm down. All we have to do is convince the Hokage to post pone their fight to make it the last fight." We could hear the crowd becoming restless. As we looked around, we caught site of Naruto and Gaara having a stair down. It's kinda funny. One moment they are glaring at each other beating each other up and the next they become really close friends. haha
She turned to Genma. "We are going to go talk the the Hokage about the next match. We won't take long." We then 'pooffed' up next to the two kages. There was already a shinobi there asking what they should do about Sasuke.
"We have no choice but to disqualify him. I'm assuming that's what you two came up here to discuss?" He lifted up his head to look at us properly.
"Yeah actually. You see. . . you can't disqualify him." Alasia tried to hint the underlining meaning. He has to fight or things will get all messed up.
"You see, this fight has to happen, if you catch my drift." Joe added. The Kazekage gave us a curious look. It felt like he was examining us, trying to figure us out. It sent a shiver down my spine.
"Hokage-sama, I must agree with them. You see all of the lords and I have come here just to see this fight. I mean, Sasuke is from the Uchiha clan and the wind country would like to see our Gaara fight against him." The way the man's eyes lit up when he said Sasuke's name gave me an uneasy feeling. I could tell Alasia was feeling the same because she was giving said man a death glare. That's when I remembered. That was Orochimaru! How could I forget!
As I remembered this information, anger grabbed a hold on me. I guess I must have started to growl again because Alasia squeezed my shoulder as a warning. A cough from Sarutobi caught our attention again. He gave us a questioning glance before he spoke.
"It looks like we have no choice. We will move the fight until the end. Make sure you guys let Genma know and announce the next match." We nodded in understanding. I didn't like letting the creeper sit there without doing anything so I did what I do best, open my big mouth.
"Say, 3rd, would you want to know information about a person when the info means changing the future a little?" Alasia gawked at me. She opened her mouth to start yelling at me but I stopped her by holding up my hand and giving her a reassuring smile saying 'I got this'.
The old man thought about it for a minute. "Will the outcome of what happens be different? If not then no I don't want to know." His face was blank but his eyes held the message I needed to know. 'I get what you mean.' I nodded.
"Okay then just wondering." I put on my best grin. I turned to Alasia and grabbed her arm, pulling her away. "We better get so the next match can start. Bye!"
"Interesting girls. Who are they? What clans are they from?" The fake Kazekage looked over to his ex-sensei.
"They are just two strong kinoichi. They don't come from any clan, at least one that I know of."
~In Arena~
"So what is going on?" Genma asked as we walked up to him.
"We are going to move the fight back and continue with everyone else." I informed him. Alasia was still too pissed off at me to say anything. He gave a nod of understanding and made the announcement so everyone else knew.
"I can't believe you did that. Now Orochimaru knows we are up to something!" Alasia spit out.
"I couldn't leave the old man hanging now could I? Besides, soon we will be spilling the beans anyway." I returned. My friend sighed and seemed to soften.
"Yeah, that's true. Just don't do that again."
The next fight was with Kankuro and Shino but the sand nin decided to forfeit, making Shikamaru's fight arrive.
Temari rushed from the waiting area using wind to glide down on her fan.
"Someone's in a rush." Genma commented. "Shikamaru, get down here!"
We looked up to see Naruto push him over the railing and saw him fall to the ground. Both Alasia and I started to giggle at the sight. Temari's lips pulled into a cocky smirk which led to her bad mouthing Shika. From the waiting room, everyone could hear Naruto shouting "Good luck".
Before anyone could react, the female blond ran towards the lazy nin and swung her fan down onto him, causing a big dust cloud to form. When it cleared, Shikamaru was standing on two kunai that were stabbed into the wall. "Ya know, I don't really want to fight. I don't care if I become a chuunin or not but I won't lose to some girl."
Alright I admit, that was cool.
With that, the battle of wits began. Both genin were more of the tactician type unlike Naruto and Neji who just dooked it out. It was impressive. Shikamaru was always three steps ahead of Temari. There wasn't much action since it was mostly them thinking it out. Eventually Shikamaru caught Temari by using the holes in the ground created by Naruto to stretch his shadow.
Temari was surprised to say the least. Both genin were walking toward each other (Temari copying his moves). She had her eyes closed in anticipation for what was to come. Shikamaru raised his hand as did Temari and . . .
"I give up."
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked. Well except Alasia and I. We knew that was coming.
"I give up. I don't have enough chakra to keep the jutsu going. It sucks because I had about 200 moves planed out to finish this but it looks like I'm out of time."
Both of us chuckle while Genma smirked.
"Winner, Temari." He called out.
(a/n sorry about the fight being rushed. When I tried to write it out, it just wasn't working.)
Then next thing we knew, Naruto was running up to the tired boy.
"IDIOT!" Naruto pointed over and Shika.
"Shut up, you super idiot."
"Why did you give up!"
Before he could answer, we decided to but in.
"Good Job Shika. I wouldn't be surprised if you passed." I leaned my arm on his head.
"I agree. It was good thinking." Alasia patted him on the back. He gave us both a look that said 'troublesome'.
"I don't get it. He lost. How would he-"
"Don't worry about it. Let's concentrate on the next match." Shika smirked. It dawned on Naruto that Sasuke was next. His face broke into an excited smile.
"Oh yeah! Duck butt! He needs to hurry up though." I removed my arm from the Nara's head much to his relief.
"Don't worry he will come." Naruto was so sure. His eyes were full of belief in his friend. "But seriously what is that idiot doing?"
Right as he was asking that question, leaves began to dance around, completely encircling us. In the middle was a big ball of them, spinning around. Slowly the leaves started to fall, revealing one copycat jounin and emo kid standing back to back and hands in their pockets.
"Always got to make the flashy entrance, don't we?" I crossed my arms giving them an amused look. Alasia shook her head.
"Think they're so cool."
"Sorry we're late." Kakashi turned to look over at us.
"Name?" Genma walked up. He had a smirk on his face.
"Sasuke Uchiha." His face was full of determination and energy not to mention the way he talked was dripping with cocky attitude.
"Man you are so late. I was thinking you weren't going to come because you were scared to fight me!" Naruto mocked. Shikimaru looked over at him giving a look screaming 'liar'.
"Don't get too worked up, Moron." Sasuke smirked.
"Okay enough you to, no one wants to see your lovey-dovy reunion." Alasia had a hint of an evil smile grace her face. I got on.
"Hey Genma do you think we can give these two a couple of minutes." I pointed at Naruto and Sasuke. "Naruto needs to give his hubby a good luck kiss before the fight." I winked at Alasia who started laughing.
"WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S JUST. . . . aaaaaahhhh! So nasty!" Naruto shivered and started making vomiting noises. Sasuke's eyebrow started to twitch as he glared at us, fists clenched at his sides.
"I don't even want to know what you guys think about half the time." He growled out. We just laughed and shrugged it off. I turned my attention to Kakashi only to see him starting to get mad.
"Did you guys not remember the last time?" He had that 'I'm going to kill you' smile on.
"Wait Kakashi!" Got to think quick!
"Wait!" He stopped and started to crack his knuckles. In the meantime, everyone who was near us all sweat dropped at our antics.
"Why should I?" He asked. Alasia looked at me, silently asking if I had a plan. I racked my brain for anything when I remembered. Slowly an evil smirk was revealed.
"Two words. . . Gay. Bar." That's right. From when we were in the past and messed with Kakashi. Remember he fell into the gay bar? Well let's just say he was stuck in there for a while "having some fun". I had one of my clones in the background who saw everything.
Immediately Kakashi paled causing my and Alasia's smirk to widen. The three genin looked confused. Genma raised a brow at his friend. No one said anything so I decided to push just a little more. Well more like I had a song pop in my head and I wanted to share.
"You!" I pointed at Kakashi. "I wanna take you to a gay bar. I want to take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar!" I started to sing. Alasia and I both broke into a roar of laughter. And if you were wondering, that song was playing back then.
Kakashi shook his head, almost like he was trying to shake the memories out of his head. He then coughed and started toignor us. "I know we came in kinda flashy but we are late. Tell me, is he disqualified?" Everyone got serious. Alasia and I stopped laughing.
"Don't worry. We moved his match back. He is not disqualified. Geeze. Your tardiness is starting to rub off." Genma smirked.
We looked over at Sasuke to see him and Naruto looking up at Gaara.
"Don't lose to that guy." Naruto looked over at his best friend.
"Yeah." He replied.
"Sasuke!" Naruto called out to gain his attention. Sasuke immediately looked over at him questioningly.
"I want to fight you too." Naruto had a serious determination written all over his face. With just as much determination Sasuke replied, "Yeah." The blond gave him a smile.
"Hey, does that count as a love confession?" I asked. Both boys twitched and yelled "NO!"
"Alright just asking. Don't get your panties in a bunch."
"Gaara, get down here!" Genma called out.
"Well guess we better get this started." Alasia sighed. Both Naruto and Shikamaru started leave as well as Kakashi.
"Things are about to get started." I whispered to Alasia.
"Yeah so be ready."
Gaara showed up and stood in front on Sasuke. His face was that of a . . . well. . . a psycho killer. He was smiling and it was creepy.
"Dude, That's creepy." I shivered.
"Begin!" Genma called. Gaara's sand quickly came out of his gourd making Sasuke jump back.
Gaara put his hand over his right eye and bent forward a little. "Don't be so angry. . . Mother."
"Yep, definitely creepy." Alasia nodded in agreement.
And so it begins.
Oh boy things are going to start! What are Alasia and Joe going to do! hahaha guess you just have to stick around and find out ;)
