Oh damn me. Damn me for being asleep for like what? 3 days? I practically missed 3 days of action! Here we are standing in rows like we're in some military or something like that. In front of us every sensei was there. A lot of other chunnins and jounins as well. And behind the adults was a huge-ass statue of the hands doing a hand sign. In the center the third stood, observing the candidates. When he glanced at me, I grinned and waved at him. If Chicken Butt head over there didn't got the curse mark...
What the fuck it's going to happen now? Shit I just broke the storyline! Ahh! Oh my goodness!
Okay now calm down. There are other positive things that you can think of. The proctor, Anko congratulated us for passing the second exam.
"The whole nine rookies are here," Sakura observed.
"Everyone is here!" Naruto told us. "What do you think it means?"
"Maybe they're just here to congratulate us or something like that," I guessed. I love being here right now but I don't love being here too.
Only because I am not a big fan of speeches.
"Get ready for a lecture," I mumbled. "The third is going to explain about the real reason of the exam."
"But I thought the point of the exam is to see who gets to be Chunnin?" Naruto asked.
"Just pay attention. If you can that is" I told him.
"Pay attention now you maggots!" Anko announced. "The Lord Hokage will explain about the third exam to you!"
"Oh yeah," I told my teammates. "Get ready to be in hand-to-hand combat."
"What?" Sakura asked.
"It's part 1 of the third exam," I replied.
Good news is, I can see people kick ass. Also, I can make a bet and win every single one! I just hope it's the same pairings as the ones that I watch back in the real world. Bad news, no one is going to be able to rest.
Speaking of rest, I think I need to rest more. I want to watch the battle though. Oh I hope they let me! I really wanna kick ass but I can't due to the fact I still don't feel well. Also, I want to save my energy for cheering at people.
The third stepped forward and coughed a bit before he started to speak. Get rid of the pipe old man. Smoking is bad! Really, really bad!
"Before I tell you the details about the third exam, I'm going to tell you about the real purpose of the exam."
Again, where is my iTouch when I need it? And my cell phone or my iPad so I can go facebook and type in: Survived the forest of death. Yipee!
Speaking of the real world, I wonder what's going on right now? Is the time same as here or different time zones? From different shows that I watch back home, the time zones are completely different. But who cares if I go missing? Not my problem what so ever. This is what I wanted after all. Everyday a new adventure awaits. I don't have to stay home the whole day, I have no curfews, and best of all, no parents telling me what to do whatsoever.
I am so happy to be in this world right now. I never want to come home again. My life sucks in the real world anyways. Besides, I get to make fun of Chicken butt head as much as I can!
While the Hokage was explaining about the third exam, I was thinking if I should be more cautious about trusting other people. As in not being so much of an open book like I was in the real world. Well, I wasn't really much of an open book but I believe I am.
Oh gosh this is getting quite boring and my feet hurts already. Too bad I can't interrupt his speech right now. These people need to listen after all.
I just hope things will be quite different here. Which they are. Everyday is definitely a new adventure. So far so great!
Man I'm getting sleepy. Standing still listening to lectures is so not my thing.
"Well he sure convinced me!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Any test is fine," Gaara said. "Just tell me what to do already. I can do whatever you throw at me."
Only because you have your sand to protect you!
"Now I am going to explain the third part of this exam," the lord hokage said when someone appeared in front of him unexpectedly.
"Lord Hokage," he greeted. "Please allow me, Hayate Gekko the appointed proctor for the third exam to speak first."
"Go right ahead," the third approved. The man turned around and boy does he ever get any sleep? Look at those bags under his eyes! And he so does not look well at all!
"We need to have a preliminary first before we can move on with the real thing." he announced.
"What?" a lot of people started to wonder.
"There's too many of us," I started to open my big mouth. "We have to battle right here, right now so that the participants can be reduced. Just like the third said, there are going to be special guests like the feudal lords to observe us. And they don't want to waste a lot of time."
"Well looks like I don't have to explain too much," Hayate smiled a bit and coughed before he took my place. "Well anyways, what that girl just said was correct. We'll be having a one-on-one hand to hand combat right now. The winner will be advancing to the next round. However, if you feel like you can't battle right now, you may drop out."
"Now?" Ino moaned. "But we just barely passed the second exam!"
"Well if this was a real mission, we would possibly never get a break at all!" I laughed when I suddenly had a strange throbbing on my head. I massaged my temples.
"Oww," I moaned.
"Hey are you okay?" Naruto asked. Why the hell do I feel sick all of a sudden? My eyes were getting blurry at every second. I feel like the world is spinning. I started to faint but Naruto caught me.
"Hey Miharu!" he exclaimed. "I thought you were feeling well now?"
Everyone turned their heads towards us, wondering what was going on.
"I am!" I argued as I stood up. "I just don't know why I felt dizzy all of a sudden."
I shrugged. Chills were up my spine. Was there someone watching me right now? I looked up and saw Kabuto smirking slyly. I wonder, did he do something to me while I was knocked out?
Hopefully it's just stress and nothing more.
"You might as well drop out," Hayate suggested. "Otherwise you might get worse. You don't look too good."
"Can I still stay and watch?" I begged. "I want to watch the competition."
'Say yes you zombie!' I glared mentally.
"Very well then," the proctor agreed and I smirked thanking my powers. "However, if something happens to you again, you will be taken to the hospital immediately."
"Fine," I sighed. Kabuto raised his hand and I immediately glared at the dude since he's only gonna drop out because he's already done with his little mission.
"Okay," he smiled. "I'm out"
"Kabuto Yakushi right?" the proctor confirmed. "Very well then, you may go."
"What?" Naruto exclaimed. "But Kabuto!"
"Sorry Naruto," Kabuto apologized. "I can't go on right now. Since the orientation, I have no hearing on my left ear! And I barely made it out alive during the second exam. And now they want us to fight without ever taking a break? I don't think I can make it!"
"You should have been dead!" I mumbled.
"What the heck do you have against Kabuto?" Sasuke asked.
"None of your business chicken-butt head!" I replied as the silver-haired jerk made his way towards the exit. But before that, he glanced at me and gave me an evil look on his face.
Something really bad is up.
The question is..what?
"Now, anyone else wants to drop out?" the proctor asked again. "If so, feel free to do. Otherwise we will begin immediately."
The proctor gave us a few seconds to respond but no one will drop out.
"Very well," the proctor said finally. "Now if you pay attention to that board over there, you will see who will be battling."
"Get ready chicken butt head," I told him. "You'll be battling against this one dude named Yoroi. And let me warn you, he loves to drain people's chakra. It's his special technique."
"What makes you think you're right?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow with suspicion.
"Look at the board." I answered. The Uchiha looked up to see his name and Yoroi's in bright Neon Yellow lights.
"Heh," Sasuke smirked. "Guess you're right after all."
"All the time." I said.
"Whoa, how the heck did you know that?" Naruto exclaimed. "Miharu, who am I gonna battle?"
"I'll tell you when you're actually up." I answered.
"Aww.." Naruto whined and I laughed.
"Now for the two competitors that have been chosen first, please step forward." Hayate commanded. "As for the rest of you, please wait upstairs."
We all obeyed the proctor and all of us minus Chicken Butt head and Yoroi and went upstairs where the view of the battle will be well..viewable.
"Hey Naruto, Sakura," I called out.
"What is it?"
"Let's make a bet!" I proposed eagerly and clapped with my hands once.
"A bet?" Naruto asked. "What sort of a bet are you talking about?"
"Simple," I began to explain. Oh this is going to be fun! I just hope that damn throbbing on my head won't happen again! "We're gonna guess who is going to win. If I get it right, you two owe me let see...4000 yen yes? But if you guys got it right and I don't, I owe you guys 4000 yen. EACH."
"So with every match we're gonna bet whose gonna win?" Sakura confirmed.
"Yup!" I grinned. Oh please say yes! That way I can be RICH!
Sakura and Naruto stared at each other for a moment, wondering if they should accept this.
"You guys aren't scared are you?" I asked with my 'little girl' voice.
"Scared?" Naruto laughed and pointed at himself. "I'm not scared of anything! You're on Miharu!"
Naruto and I shook hands to signal that we both accept the bet. Naruto, just say goodbye to your money now.
Sakura sighed. "Count me out. I don't want any part of this."
"Suit yourself Sakura," I said. "Now Chicken Butt Head vs. Yoroi. My bet's on Emo Uchiha."
"Sasuke?" Naruto confirmed.
"Yup."
"Ahh! I was gonna put my money on him!"
"Well, if we both agreed on the same person then neither of us will owe money."
"All right. Then we both bet on Sasuke!" Naruto grinned. Everyone else, was looking eagerly at the first two people who were about to fight. It was only because Sasuke is one of the Uchihas. In this world, they only think you're worth it if you're powerful. Lesson here, never underestimate someone. Especially Naruto which everyone will think that he's the same goofy kid as before. Well, he is still a goofy kid but he is much more than that.
"Begin!" we heard the proctor signaled the two fighters.
