Hinata Chronicles Chapter 2: Awakening
Hinata starts to gasps for breath as she woke up. "What was that all! Something about that dream. . . It felt way to real." She then slowly started gathering up the gear she would need for the Chunin exam. Slipping into the same old thing she wore every day. As she was rushing out of the house she passed her father and paused.
"Um… I'll be leaving now for the exams"
Her father just shrugged and looked away from her. Hinata gets a depressed look in her eyes and leaves. She then starts to run to the meeting point to where her team will be. When she get to the meeting point she see's her teammate: Kiba with his dog Akamaru and Shino.
"So Hinata, you ready for the exams" Kiba excitedly asked as Akamaru barked.
"We must do our best" Shino said in his usual monotone voice.
"Um sure. . . I'm ready." Hinata mumbled as the three left for the exams.
The three soon got to the door for the exams.
"Alright! Bring it on!" Kiba cheered as he opened the door.
When they got in, they saw multiple groups of serious ninjas, all looking anxious to attack at any moment.
"Whoa. . . the competition here. . . Their chakra's incredible. . ." Hinata thought.
"Yahoo! Found you!" Kiba suddenly said as he went over to some familiar people.
Hinata then started to blush at one of them. "N-naruto. . . The boy I admire. . ."
"Well well, everyone is assembled." Kiba confidently said.
"H-hello. . ." Hinata shyly said.
"Jeez. . . You guys too?" Shikamaru asked.
"I see. . . All 9 of this year's rookie genin are taking the exam. I wonder how far we will get. . . Eh Sasuke?" Kiba said
Sasuke then smirked as he smugly said. " You seem confident, Kiba."
Hinata became lost in her thoughts as Naruto and Kiba started arguing. "Why can't I get rid of those memories of that dream I had?" Hinata remembered fighting that giant black creature as she began to lose some her color.
Naruto noticed her looking pale as he went up to her. "Hey Hinata, are alright? Your looking a little pale."
Hinata jumped a little that the person she admired was worried for her. "N-no, I'm alright. . . j-just didn't have good night, t-that's all." Hinata then started to get a bit red from blushing.
"Hey you guys, you should be more quiet." A voice said as everyone turned to the source, teenager with white hair and glasses. "You guys are rookies just right out of the academy right? Screaming like school girls. . . geez. . . This isn't a picnic."
"Who do you think you are?" Ino asked.
As man named Kabuto introduced himself and revealed some of his secrets, Hinata thought she saw some dark smoke coming out of him. "Must be my eyes playing tricks on me. . ."
Suddenly Naruto screamed out at how he was going to beat everyone here, drawing attention to them. Then out of nowhere, the three Sound Genin came out and tried to hit Kabuto he dodged it but then started to throw up.
Hinata looked at the three genin that just attack where again she thought she saw some black smoke come out of them. "Again. . ." Hinata then started to rub her eyes as she saw it disappeared. "What was that all about?" She thought.
"Quiet down you worthless bastards!" A voice yelled as a large amount of smoke appeared in the front of the room. As the smoke cleared, a large man wearing a bandanna with scars on his face and a group of Leaf ninjas. " Thanks for waiting. . . I am Ibiki Morino, the examiner for the chunin selection exam first test." As he explained that the first the first test was and the test started.
"A written test. . . I was pretty smart back in the academy besides Sakura, but for Naruto. . . I hope he can somehow pass. . ." Hinata thought as she sat next to Naruto and used her knowledge to do the test. As the test went on, Hinata then noticed that Naruto was struggling at doing the test. "Maybe. . . I can help him. . ." Hinata thought as she smiled and blushed. "Naruto. . . you can look at my test." She whispered as she look over a him.
Naruto was surprised and confused at her. "Hey Hinata, why are you willing to do that?"
Hinata then started to blush as she got nervous and started to play with her fingers. "Because. . . I. . . don't want you to disappear here."
She then started to shake a little. "See. . . The nine of us are only rookies. . . We need to work together. . ."
Naruto then started to chuckle a little. "Oh. . . I see. . . I was kind of confused."
Hinata then got a little depressed. "That isn't it at all. . ." She thought. She thought as she secretly tried to slide her paper so Naruto could copy it. "It's because. . . I admire you. . ."
Naruto was about to copy when he saw some of the prompters looking around. "Hinata. . . you don't understand."
"Huh?" Hinata was indeed confused.
Naruto then smiled. "An incredible ninja like me doesn't need to cheat."
"Naruto. . . but. . ."
"Plus, because if you help me cheat. . . you could get in trouble too.
"Huh?" Hinata was again surprised. "I'm sorry. . . you're right. . ."
"No problem."
As she finished up the test, Hinata smiled a little. "At least care for me a little. . ." she thought.
