Into the Mist

This fanfic is totally based on my day dreams and crazy ideas. Mostly everything will be OC, except this fanfic is based off the Naruto world and starts years after Naruto because Hokage.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way or form. All of the new jutsu is either insane thoughts from my head or borrowed from other fics which I will give credit for if I remember who's they are. If something in this fic belongs to you tell me and I'll give you the credit. Also, if I think something up and it just so happens you thought of it first. I will give you the credit if you just tell me so. All jutsu will be in English so get over it.

Btw I'm writing this for fun, since I have some down time during college. Either read it or get the hell off the page it's just a fun story so if you don't like it. Don't read it. I'll accept any ideas for the story and help if you notice I did something wrong, just don't be a dick about it. Reviews are welcome and most importantly I AM NOT an English major or very good at the subject. So don't constantly nag me about grammar and such, it will be fixed later so just enjoy.

Also this story takes place after Naruto is the Hokage and has been for some time. This story is a fantasy story for fun to see what could happen to the kids of all of those you love most! New abilities, jutsu, plot, villians, love stories and new secrets! Like I mentioned before if you want to see something happen just message it to me, remember just don't be a dick about it.

Story will be rated "M" for violence, language, concepts, and possibly lemons like I don't know fifty chapters down the road if I feel up to it.

Thanks for reading!

Italics - Mental monologue

Sorry for the slip up!

Also who knew Kiri was an Island? I sure as hell didn't. Anyways Ive noticed a shit ton of my views are from the Czech's. This pleases me since I myself have most of my ancestry from Czech origins.

Also yes I know the 'plaguelands' I call Zacc's home country since its roamed by demons constantly, disease, and death. But I know Blizzard made it so credit goes to the Blizzard gaming corporation.

Also im borrowing characters from places….for the other village's genin….im super lazy and ive been watching a shit ton of anime…

Owners of the new characters will be listed at the end.

The sun and moon have traded places several times since their times on the boat. Ocean waves rocked and rolled underneath the vessel that carried them onwards further into their journey. Zacc was sitting on the port side railing of the ship as he looked out over the vast sea. Kamin was on the bow of the ship mediating at Zacc's request after she realized she could feel how her chakra acted she needed to mediate to isolate it and understand it to use it to its fullest. Haruto was lying face down on the deck hugging the mast. Being an earth affinity he naturally didn't feel comfortable at the sea. Tarzuna was at the stern end guiding the ship while Inari was somewhere below with Sasuke doing who knows what.

Staring at the vast sea Zacc felt odd. He couldn't use water ninjutsu but he knew how to read it and how it worked but as he sat here on the railing of the ship dangling above the raging waters that bounced off the hull he couldn't help but feel peaceful. He could feel the water below his bare feet. He started to swing his feet back and forth from his boredom and it helped him relax since he hasn't moved much in a while.

Looking down as he kicked his feet the water started to churn beneath his feet. "Hm?" as he raised his eyebrows and started to swing his legs more rapidly as he controlled his breathing and thought about the method of water his ojiisan taught him. Sure enough the water started to churn to his liking. "No fucking way…" he could move the water just by swinging his leg. "What the hell is going on? I can't even use water ninjutsu" he thought until it hit him. Jumping off the railing and landing in the middle of the deck he started to sign Water Style: Water Bullet as stared upwards he spat a foundation of pressurized water into the air only for it to spread and rain down in a large radius soaking the ship and everyone on board.

"What the hell boy?!" Tarzuna demanded as he was now wet. At his outburst Sasuke and Inari came onto the deck to see what was happening. Looking around to see the still falling water or rain Sasuke could feel no enemy so one of his students must of done it. Sure enough there stood Zacc in the middle of the deck smiling like an idiot.

Sasuke smiled "I guess you found your one element?" He asked curiously at his student who only frowned in returned. "Whats wrong I thought you would be happy that you are a Sage."

"Sensei my younger brother is the water Sage and I know he isn't dead." Sasuke was shocked "What the hell then I was told when an Omniton user gains natural control of an element he becomes that sage" he narrowed his eyes waiting for Zacc to speak again. "If Adam died I would have felt it, when a Sage dies it can be felt by all the users of the Omniton since we are all connected through the elements of the world." Zacc suddenly decided to try something. Walking over to the railing once again he started to seal and ended in the tiger Fire Style: Great Fire Ball as he inhaled and exhaled a massive ball of fire over the ocean. "What the fuck is going on.." he paused for a moment thinking of everything that could be happening to him. He turned to his sensei looking at him sternly and with worry and his sensei could only return the glance. "Sensei do you know any users of the Boil Style in the elemental nations?"

Then it finally hit Sasuke "of course you can use those two still because they form the Boil element but didn't you say if a sage died you would of felt it?" he questioned his student.

"Yes that's true but he don't have a boil sage yet or we didn't when I left." He said as he started to face Kamin. "Sensei you need to talk to Kamin about what happened. Haruto told me about her fight and what he described can only mean one thing." He said to Sasuke knowing exactly what he meant he only sighed.

"I can't its more complicated than that and she needs to learn on her own. I already sent word to her father about the matter and he has yet to respond and I know its ok because it's just her kekki genkki."

Zacc turned to him "I thought the Uzuamaki kekki genkki was something about their sealing skills?" he questioned him. Sasuke could only frown he knew what it meant if her kekki genkki has shown up.

"That's true but Naruto's father was Minato Namikaze.." he said which left Zacc dumbfounded. "If her grandfather is a Namikaze then that means that I was wrong about the demon giving her a kekki genkki trait and it's that one. Kami help us if anyone finds out" he thought to himself as Kamin just sat up towards the bow and stared at them. She obviously couldn't hear what they were saying or just didn't care enough.

Sasuke didn't say anything as he jumped over to Tarzuna and chatted with him for a while. Inari went back below the ship, while Haruto clung to the mass for dear life of his sea sickness. Zacc decided to go sit with Kamin for a few minutes since he hadn't for a bit. As he sat down next to her she looked at him funny. "What is it?" he asked her only for her to act stranger.

She pinched his cheek "Are you really Zacc?" she said as she continued to play with his face.

Zacc only glared at her "Don't be a baka of course it's me" as he poked her in the ribs causing her to jump. She only gave a smile apologetic look to him since she did something weird.

"Then how can you use water ninjutsu all of a sudden and fire ninjutsu I thought you said you could never use water jutsu and that you learned you would become that sage. I just don't understand anything." She frowned he could tell she felt stupid right now and that she felt helpless she didn't know as much as the others.

He smiled sweetly at her before pulling her into his lap "You're not dumb so quit thinking it"
he said causing her to twitch he hit the nail on the head. "Secondly I don't know what's happening I just can use both all of a sudden" he said as she suddenly kissed his cheek.

"Smile I love your smile mr grumpy pants" he she pinched his cheek again only for him to try and bite her. She simply flicked him in the nose and laughed at him.

Tarzuna and Sasuke looked at them dumbly "Did you ever act like that with your wife?" he asked the shinobi. Who was still looking at his students dumbly.

"I hope not.." he said until he spotted land in the distance.

Kiri was finally in reach docking their sea faring vessel at the dock of a small fishing village usually used for those who are traveling to the hidden village of Kiri. The squad gathered their things as the sun continued to rise in the early morning sky. As the got off the ship they noticed their friends from Wave weren't following them.

"This is where we part ways my friends" said the drunken old man who stood at the railing of the ship as he bid them farewell.

"Thank you two for the trip and we'll be sure to visit some more" said the raven as he waved them goodbye as Inari untied from the dock and raised the walk plank onto the ship as they started to push off from the dock. The three young ninjas stood next to their sensei as they waved off their new friends from the Land of Waves.

Not before Inari could have fun one more time "Haruto don't let your teammates play kissy face during your exams or you'll lose! Good luck!" he yelled from the safety of his boat as he shrunk into the distance.

Zacc and Kamin had death glares on their faces before Haruto couldn't hold it anymore and busted out laughing. "Ha! He really pegged you to losers!" as he had a giggled fit worthy of Ino during her academy days. Only to receive a quick knock on the back of the head from the blonde.

"Shut up you baka!" she screamed at him as Zacc stared at his girlfriend with a cautious look as he inched away. Sasuke could only sigh "This seems so familiar" he thought before he turned around and started to walk away his students not even noticing before he was almost out of sight. "Sensei not fair don't leave us!" Kamin screamed as they ran to catch him. Finally catching up to him they decided to not to push their luck with his patience since it's been weeks since he's been in his bad mood or Uke-mode as their prestigious Hokage calls it. This only results in the blonde man retreating to the safety of his wife since Ino won't help him.

Walking through a small fishing village which had many small houses and hunts along the docks with many ships since its main export was more than impossible not to be fishing. As they were passing by numbers of markets stalls and small businesses Sasuke stopped in the middle of the street to look around. His students simply did the same and blinked waiting for something to happen. Only for him to turn at a random by passer who was a young girl who was a little older than themselves if they had to guess "Excuse me miss do you know which road I would take to reach the Hidden Village of Mist?" only to receive a hesitiant look from the girl who started to shrink back she probably thought they were attacking ninja and she didn't want to be the one who caused it. "Were here for the chunin exams and I haven't been to Kiri before so if you could help it would be nice" before she ran away from him giving her a heart filled smile that look strange being on his face or so his team thought. However the girl absolutely fell for it.

"You take the main road till you take a right to a large valley and you follow the road. Im sure mist shinobi will find you and escort you." She piped up before Sasuke tossed a small coin purse at her for her troubles as he started to walk down the road again.

His students gave him a dumbfounded look. "You've attacked and captured major cities and high ranking shinobi and Kages but yet you've never been to Kiri?.." Kamin deadpanned only to get a smirk from their sensei before they started to walk together down the road.

They walked in silence exiting the town on a dirt path and into the timbering woods of the island of mist. Mountains could be seen to the north and east of where they were. Walking for an eternity in the low lighted path carved into the ground from many years of use. Finally the road they were on became an incline into the surrounding mountains.

They continued to walk until they reached the peak of the incline and saw the beautiful unfold in front of them. In front of them rested a large valley. It was blanketed in an eerie mist that nothing could be seen except the various trees sticking out of them and the mist seemed to be alive, a monster that devoured its prey so that they never return. This was the location of the Hidden Mist Village and they were almost to their destination.

"Woah…" said Kamin as she looked upon the sight in front of her eyes. No one could see through the fog this was obviously the reason why it was named so. The three genin stood there dumbfounded as none of them have seen anything like this before. Not even Zacc who was just as amazed by the mist as the others were. After standing there gaping for a moment they noticed their sensei was actually leaving them behind. "Hey don't leave us sensei!" she yelled as they ran after him. Her voice ringing through the vast canyon piercing into the veil that was the mist that held so many mysteries.

Walking for what seemed like hours they finally came to the edge of the mist. It would be their first step into enemy territory and even more unknown lands. However this time they would not be able to see anything around them. It was times like this Haruto was glad he had sensitive hearing thanks to this mother's training. The team stood there outside the mist there sensei looking at them briefly before he stepped into the mist. Phasing into the veil the genin finally gained up their courage and followed suit.

"Sensei I got a bad feeling about this.." Haruto carefully said as he looked around not having any luck seeing through the mist. They walked for a awhile longer before something caught his attention causing him to perk up. "Zacc" he order giving his teammate a stern look. Zacc only nodded before focusing his chakra into the ground and sending it out closing his eyes as they walked reaching out attempting to sense if there was anyone in the surrounding area that could pose them a threat.

"Nothing on the ground or under it" he said as he started to pay more attention to the mist around him. It could hold his death if they weren't careful right now.

"Calm down you two. I sense something I just don't know if its an enemy or Kiri shinobi to make sure were not a threat I don't want to ruin your chances at the exams" he spoke until he was interrupted by something flying past his head it would of impaled him if he didn't move to his left slightly allowing it to pass him and stick into the ground.. Kamin as well as Haruto jumped back to back knowing full well Zacc could protect himself. Suddenly Sasuke could see a wire next to his head going past him but it was to late the weapon that was thrown was reeled back through the mist to its owner. "Wait I know what that is!" he thought before forming seals. Zacc realizing his mistake sent his chakra into the air around him revealing things around him as if he had radar. Running through seals just as his sensei did the same. The Uchiha putting his fingers to his lips inhale Fire Style: Great Fire Ball as he exhaled towards to person. At the same time Zacc finished his jutsu, ending in the dragon seal he inhaled as he spun on his balls of his right foot, similar to the Hyuuga's kaiten, Wind Release: Typhoon Gale he said as he spun like a top and exhaling creating a massive vortex. It blew away the mist and had the side effect of amplifying the fire jutsu from his sensei increasing the already massive size and heat of the flames. Haruto and Kamin focused chakra in their foot just to not be blown away from the wind. The mist was starting to form again after being blown away but not before the fire jutsu collided into a tree eating everything in its path.

"Wow go figure"said Zacc clearly surprised him and his sensei did that completely by accident the raven only smirked. It vanished when he realized there was no body in the embers of destruction.

"Sasuke Uchiha S-ranked nukenin of Konohagakure you are under arrest for the trespassing into Kirigakure" the voice said through the veil. It was obviously male in origin and was definitely someone of Kiri.

Sasuke smirked again "Didn't anyone tell you I was reformed after the war, not originally by choice but o well it happens doesn't it Zoki Hayashi.." he trailed obviously trying to jeer the other one on. Only to receive the same projective from before to be thrown at him again it was sailing towards the Uchiha's chest and actually pierced it. It sunk into his chest making a sucking sound as it made itself into his flesh.

Haruto's eyes went wide in shock as well did Kamin's "Sensei!" Haruto screamed when his teacher was struck. Zacc narrowed his eyes "Clever show off" he thought as his sensei appeared to the husk of mud that was beginning to crumble as he appeared. Sasuke grabbed onto the projectile. "Wait is that a sword?" Zacc thought as the raven smirked again.

"Die" he said in a cold murderous voice that even made Zacc shiver he could only imagine the affect it had on his comrades. Suddenly the man started to spark and give off electricity sending it down the blade and through the wire to the other man. A scream was heard as in one quick motion he whipped the weapon back forcing the person on the other end to be thrown forwards into their view. He landed on his knees as he was in shock from what just happened.

"Ok now that you're not being a jackass Hayashi you are going to take me and my genin to the village so they can prepare for their exams and we'll forget about everything just now." He said in a demanding voice as the man actually took time to look at the others who were with him. They were genin no older then thirteen except for one who could pass for jonin after that jutsu he just did.

"What game are you playing at! You filthy leaf bastards can't pass off a jonin as a genin he said glaring at Zacc." Sasuke sighed as the blonde and snake boy relaxed since they weren't in any danger now. "You know after the Allied Shinobi Alliance everyone just went back to hating each other" he said sighing again deeply. "This genin possess a kekki genkki that makes him age faster it allows for his clan to join battle faster and be more effective on the battlefield." He said waiting for a response from the downed man. Since he was in no position to fight back or make any demands despite where they were he gave in. "Follow me then" he said weakly as he got to his feet and drew back his weapon placing the wire on a clip on his belt with the blade going across his lower back on its holster. As he stood up it showed how fit this man was. Towering above their sensei at roughly six three he was a very slenderly built he looked like a male gymnastic but even leaner. Wearing a black jumpsuit with arm and leg warmers with the traditional Kiri standard musky white with light blue pin stripes a pointy face completed his look with it resembling that of a rat in features. It was clear this man was not very attractive in fact Kamin was utterly creeped out by him and made her shiver in fear at the man. The man was bald and had a black facial tattoo in the shape of a tribal tattoo that stretched from his right ear to his chin. It really mad him look intimidating that was for sure as he turned around and started to walk away from them.

"Let's go team four" the raven said as he started to walk into the mist. The three genin looked at each other with a nervous glance before chasing after them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They walked in silence and it wasn't even that long beforethe village gates came into view. Large wooden gates now stood in their path decorated with the colors pale white and moss gate with the kanji for mist on them. As Zoki walked op to the gates he put his hands together into a seal. After a moment the large gates started to swing open revealing the mystery that was the mist village. The streets were paved and water ways and small bodies of water could be seen everywhere. There was grass in small areas with trees next to homes and what could be guessed as the park. The most interesting thing though was once they entered the village all of the mist disappeared as if the mist solely existed outside of the walls. All of the building were cylindrical in shape decorated with the same moss green which seems to be one of the major colors of the place. Together they made their ways to a small wooden gate guard shack near the inside entrance similar to the one in Konoha.

"Zoki Hayashi signing in and escorting Sasuke Uchiha and his genin for the chunin exams" he said giving the gate guards a stern look telling them not to argue. One by the the Leaf shinobi took out their passports and handed them to the guards for them to be stamped. When he was about to stamp Zacc's he noticed a few things written into it. Handing it back to him "There you go your all set, enjoy your stay." He said to them as they made their way into the village.

"We may have a problem.." one of the guards spoke which gained Zoki's attention. He gave him a questioning look telling him to explain since he didn't verbalize anything. "That boy is from the plague lands..." this made Zoki narrow his eyes looking into the distance where they went. Before the guards could say something else he flashed out of the area leaving the chunin's to their work.

As they walked Zacc could only let his curiosity get the better of him. "Sensei what type of weapon was that anyways?" Only for him to raise an eyebrow at him for him to remember his not from here.

"Kiri is home to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist who each possess a sword of fable. There can only be seven of them at a time and are the seven strongest swordsmen of the lands of Mist. The only ones that could rival him would probably be myself and that rapping idiot form Kumo." He said as he finished explaining they walked down the streets through what they would guess was the business district since it had many expensive looking buildings and banks. Walking to the end of the street they noticed a large Inn. It was made of stone like the other buildings here. If they had wooden buildings here the humidity and damp weather would only rot the wood to rapidly for it to be useful. It had six stories and each room had a decent sized balcony. Something told them it was an expensive inn as they walked in. Once they were inside they noticed the nice wood floor paneling on the walls and the nice hardwood floors. Fancy tapestries and flowers in vases decorated the lobby of the inn. The group slowly made its way to the front desk.

"Excuse me miss we would like two rooms for the next week" he addressed the young women who stood behind the front desk. She was around the age of seventeen if she had to guess. Weighing in at about one thirty she was filled in very nicely and built athletically. Her long blue hair draped long past her shoulders it was held together by a red bow at the base of her head and the bottom of her hair. She had the most beautiful emeralds for eyes. Wearing a pink sun dress as it was warmer in Kiri then Konoha which was hot anyways. "Of course sir" she said as she took his money as handed him the keys. As the keys left her hand her eyes met Zacc's. Loosing herself in the golden eyes of the Grimm she noticed his build and posture. Drawn in by his long shaggy silver hair that gave him a look of a wild man and a bad boy she couldn't help but blush at him. This of course went unnoticed by everyone except for Kamin who glared daggers at her. As the group was headed to the stairs to find the floor that was labeled onto their room keys. Kamin quickly turned around and pranced over to Zacc attaching herself to his arm looking back at her only to stick out her tongue at the desk girl. Who could only feel her heart drop. That was ok though their futures weren't bright as she smiled devilishly as she disappeared into the back.

They arrived on the third floor of the building following their sensei as he looked for their rooms. "Here we are 3C and 3F" he said as he tossed a key to Kamin. "Haruto your with me and Zacc and Kamin will be in the other room." Haruto could only raise his eyebrow in confusion as he took the key and went inside his room. The blonde certainly didn't protest as she quickly made her way into her room for the time here. Zacc was turning around to make his way after her but not before Sasuke caught him by the collar and dragged him back. "Now listen Im trusting you to be a perfect gentleman understand me?" he said in a tone that reminded him of his father. His blood ran cold "H-hai sensei" he said as he was released and went into his room. The Uchiha could only sigh as he made his way into his room.

As he made his way into the room and shut the door he noticed Kamin was laying on one of the beds with her shoes off. Lying face down buried into the soft mattress she actually sunk a little into it. Her pack was in the corner of the room against the wall. Taking his off and doing the same he emptied his pockets of weapons before making his way to the other bed. They had till tomorrow till the exams they needed to rest and recover from their long trek across the sea. To bad they could use it study the town too.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A few hours have pasted by the way the sun has changed position in the sky. It must have been roughly around dinner time and he was right he was hungry. Lying on his back with his arms out to his side he looked at the ceiling before yawning slightly. Looking over to only to see Kamin sound asleep like a rock. Sleeping like a baby was an understatement. Carefully getting out of the oversized bed that was trying to eat him while he slept while attempting to stretch at the same time, finally getting out of bed he went and gathered his things before going into the bathroom. Shutting and locking the door he looked at himself in the mirror. Rubbing his eyes before starting to strip down then turning on the hot water in the shower. The bathroom was very nicely setup up. It had a marble stone countertop with earth colored floor tiles with white wooden cabinets where the sink was. Like most Inns the bathrooms looked the same however this was a very nice inn so everything was nicer then even his dorm which was saying a lot since the building was only two years old. Steam had filled the bathroom fogging up the mirror before Zacc stepped into the shower he took his fingers and wrote in the mirror.

Pain. Sorrow. Alone. Regret. Loss. Pity. Denial. Shame.

Were the words he wrote in the mirror. He looked at them for a moment before he took his hand and wiped them out in one swift motion only to see his reflection.

"Not any more. I will persevere." He spoke in a hollow voice before he started to write again.

Acceptance. Friendship. Warmth. Hope.

He wrote in the mirror again before he slightly smiled for it to fade as he wiped them out again. Before he stepped into the shower he wrote only one word. Love. He didn't wipe this one out before he stepped into the shower.

Kamin slowly started to stir as she heard the shower. She yawned before accidently rolling out of bed only to land on her face. "Oww" she drug out painfully as she continued to lay there. She heard the water in the bathroom stop only for Zacc to emerge seconds later.

"Enjoy your nap to much did you?" he laughed at her and threw her a towel. "Well go get cleaned up and we can go out for the night to scout the city."

She rolled over slightly she was going to speak before she saw him. His back was turned to her. Wearing his ninja pants and sandals he was shirtless for a moment and that's all she needed to permentalty record this into her mind. As he pulled his shirt down over him torso he noticed her drooling. "Um what?" he said confused he had never had the opposites sexes attention before since there was no time for such things in his lands.

She quickly jumped up and scratched the back of her head while she laughed nervously before grabbing her pack. "O nothing.." she laughed weakly as she entered the bathroom and locking the door. Quickly running her fingers through her hair she looked in the mirror. Taking out her tweezers she fixed her eyebrows and checked her face for acne. "perfect skin as always" she said as she smiled at herself in the mirror. Stepping over to the shower she turned on the hot water before stripping down. She played with her hair as she waited for the shower to turn on. Finally stepping into the shower she cleaned up.

Shutting off the water and drying her hair with the towel till it was dry enough for her satisfaction she dried off her body and wrapped it around herself. She stepped out of the shower and pooped her neck and joints "Aww finally clean" she cooed in bliss as she started to get dressed. As she was just about to finish up and put on her shirt she noticed something odd. There was writing in the mirror.

"Pain, sorrow, alone regret loss pity denial, shame…" she spoke slowly not believing what she was reading. "Did Zacc write this?" She thought to herself as her heart started to sink. Then she noticed another line was below it. "Acceptance, friendship, warmth hope." She said slowly before her heart returned to warmth in her chest and she put on her shirt. She smiled at the mirror she and finally warmed up his cold heart and all he needed was the kindness of someone. Opening the bathroom door all of the steam exited the bathroom causing the words to disappear. She quickly turned around to get her pack that she left in the bathroom. As she was walking out she noticed one word written in the bottom of the mirror. One she never thought she would ever see.

Love.

"Does he love me?!" she squeaked on the inside her heart beginning to burst as she stood there stupidity smiling.

"Umm Kamin are you alright?" Zacc asked her. She smiled sweetly at him before walking over to the boy sitting on the bed and kissed him passionately.

"Of course not now let's go get the others" she said as he smiled at her. The pair exited the room together with Zacc locking the door. There room was directly across the hall from their sensei and teammate's. Kamin knocked on the door before opening it to see Sasuke sitting in the balcony window with one leg out the window casually while he read a book with a book cover on it. The thought never crossed her mind as she looked around the room to see Haruto drying his hair. "Hey Haruto were going out for something to eat and to scout the town so we don't have a complete disadvantage tomorrow." She said to him as he put his stuff away.

They were walking out the room before Haruto Kamin turned to face the man at the window "Coming sensei?" she asked him. Only go get a shake of his head from him as he didn't take his eyes off the book. She couldn't even tell what book it was but it must have been a good book they haven't even seen him read one before. "Ok well lets go then" as the three genin shut the door and walked down the hallway then continued to exit the building.

Together they stood at the end of the main street that took them to the main gate. Before the blonde could ask what way the others wanted to go Zacc started to walk down the street to the left. Without a response Haruto followed he didn't care where they were he just didn't want to be here alone in a foreigner shinobi village bad things would only come from it. They walked for some time only seeing odd shops and odd styled buildings. Every building was round with no corners it was differently from any buildings they have seen before. There must be an environmental thing for these houses to be built this way. "This must be the market district" Haruto said as they passed stores of many kinds and merchant stalls.

There were people everywhere it was more crowded than a busy day in the Konoha market district which was saying a lot since the leaf village was twice the size of Kiri. It was due to the chunin exams it made people flock here for a week during the exams for all of the elemental nations to watch their country and help give moral support.

"Hey guys lets go in here" Kamin said grabbing Zacc by the hand and dragging him inside and she received little protest.

"Kamin this is embarrassing.." he blushed since he was in front of a crowd of foreign civilians and shinobi. Few older women laughed to each other at the antics of young love while older men simply smiled at him. He could only guess they were happy for him since Kamin was such a catch. "I feel light headed" he thought to himself as Kamin drug him into a booth sit in the restaurant. Haruto climbed into the side across from the two.

"Um Kamin I thought your embarrassing Zacc…" Haruto said pointing to Zacc who was trying not to faint. Kamin looked over to Zacc who was blushing red.

"Zacc are you alright? Your never been this embarrassed before." She asked him gently hoping she didn't do something wrong as she started to frown. Zacc only looked down at her as she started to put.

"Kamin stop it" he said sternly as he raised her chin "Its not your fault this is just new to me ok?" he said softly to her hoping not to upset her.

"Im his first girlfriend?!" she squeaked happily as she started to bounce up and down in her seat. Zacc and Haruto could only inch away from her as she was acting like she was a little girl.

Unknowingly to them as the three leaf shinobi sat in their booth waiting for their waitress they were being watched. At the bar top across the room sat three young girls. One of them got up followed by the other two who then proceeded to approach the leaf genin. They stopped outside the booth and waited for their attention. Haruto only looked over to drop his jaw in amazement that stood in front of him. Zacc noticed the look Haruto had on his face and turned outwards noticing the three girls all of them roughly shorter then himself. The one in the middle had long luscious silver hair like his own. She figure was curvy and filled out she had large breasts. Wearing light blue ninja gear similar to the green Konoha genin combat uniform that no one actually wore. It consisted of a short or long sleeved combat jacket with ninja pants and sandals. She had ruby red eyes that shined in the light that was one thing Zacc got stuck on.

To her left was a girl with a similar curvy figure wearing the same gear except her chest was even bigger than the silver haired girl. Her hair was light aqua blue and was pulled into a short ponytail with bangs on both sides of her head and her eyes were a lovely shade of green. Her hand on her hip and her posture showed her personality. "Great a flirt like Emi.." Zacc thought as he looked over to the last girl. She was the shortest if only by a few inches. Her hair was a light frosted purple chakra and her eyes were a empty ice blue color which made Zacc narrow his gaze at her. This girl had a sucker in her mouth as she moved it around in her move it seemed like a nervous habit. The ice eyed girl was thinner but still really filled out her chest was the smallest but still rather impressive. These girls could be simply described as vixens. "Shit Kiri shinobi" Zacc thought as he noticed their head bands on their shoulders.

"Hello my name is Moka Akashiya" she cooed at Zacc while she batted her eyes and gave him a flirty smile. This got Kamin's attention giving her a death glare that would melt the polar caps. "You must be here for the chunin exams am I right?" she said as she changed her posture to make her friend that seemed flirty.

"Yes what's it to you?" Zacc snapped back obviously hostile towards the three girls which they were slightly taken back from his behavior. "Does he not find them attractive?" Kamin thought to herself as she started to feel less insecure around the three young women standing in front of them.

"Well we were wondering because we are this year. You see Kiri has strict requirements for its shinobi we aren't allowed to complete till were fifteen at least. Anyways remember us will you sweetheart? We three are known as the Kiri Sirens" she said as she blew a kiss at the silver haired boy and walked out of the building followed by her teammates.

Zacc could feel Kamin tighten up slightly. "Damn they were so sexy.." Haruto said only to be kicked by Zacc under the table. "What?!" he demanded the reason for being kicked.

Kamin nuzzled into Zacc's side she could only feel insecure to those girls even if they were only two years older than her they were much more developed than her. "Could he really pick me over them if he had to choose?" she thought to herself until Zacc cupped his hand around her cheek pulling her in for a kiss. Giving her those amber eyes of comfort letting her know she was going to be ok.

The snake boy only made a sick face as he watched the cheesy romance unfold before his eyes. Not before long a waitress came back and took their orders.

"I wonder what the first test will be in this exam." Haruto said as they received their food and started to eat.

"I have no idea I heard Kiri usually doesn't host the exams" Kamin said as she picked a piece of chicken up and stuck it in her mouth. Zacc had no idea how the chunin exams worked so he didn't to keep his mouth shut. By the way they were talking he guesses it was made up of a few tests because of his question.

The trio finished their meals in silence the remainder of their time there. Dropping money onto the table to pay they left the building. Noticing it was really late they decided to head back to the Inn since they were going to have a busy day tomorrow.

"Hey Haruto you got everything down we went over right?" Zacc asked his teammate wondering how he was doing since he learned some new jutsu. He was a great learner but doesn't know that many jutsu adding those to his arsenal is going to help the team greatly.

They walked back down the streets of Kiri trying to find their lodging of the week. Until finally they spotted the building in the distance the three were confused since somehow they got back on the main road leading to the front of the Inn instead of the street they took when they left. Deciding not to question anything they entered the building. Upon reaching the third floor the two bid Haruto goodnight as he entered his room. Unlocking the door of their room he noticed Kamin was looking down again. Pushing the door open and them entering the room Kamin went straight to her bed. Zacc shut and locked the door. Watching over to her bed he sat on the edge.

"Kamin what's wrong?" he asked her sweetly as he rubbed her back as she buried her face into the mattress. She didn't speak for a moment so he just waited on her patiently. She finally spoke but she was speaking into the mattress so he couldn't hear her. "What did you say?" he asked her again before she flung herself up in one motion.

Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. "I don't think Im good enough for you…" she let out slowly as her tears started to fall. He watched her for a moment as she sat there with her legs underneath her. "They are so much better looking than me. You look to old for me anyways and Im not as developed as them. You probably want that silver haired girl or the girl with blue hair." She said weakly as she kept crying. Zacc could only sigh slightly and frown at her.

She closed her eyes expecting the words she thought she was going to hear or for him to hit her like most married men did to their wives in western culture. Zacc reached over and she flinched slightly before he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. He smiled weakly at her and looked into her beautiful ocean blue eyes. "Kamin Uzuamaki I picked you for a reason. You are the nicest and sweetest girl ive ever met. You were the first one to give me a chance and to show me compassion." She could only sniffle and wipe her eyes as he cooed sweetly into her ear. She coiled her arms around his neck and tightly held on to him as she continued to sniffle. "Come on let's get changed it's about time we went to sleep." He said to her and he got up and went to his pack. Slightly nodding in agreement she grabbed her pack from the corner and went into the bathroom to change.

As she started to change she looked down into the mirror where that word was before. There in the mirror were smudge marks in the form of the word love. Her heart twinge slightly as she started to cheer up. After changing into her pajama pants and tank top she exited the bathroom. Zacc sat there on his bed in training mesh shorts and a loose fitting white shirt.

She walked over to him before getting into her bed and kissed him goodnight. He smiled at her as he got under the covers of his bed. He knew she was better now and it made him feel so much better.

They laid there for two hours. Neither of them had slept and it was almost midnight. Both of them lying in their beds staring at the ceiling trying not to move in case the other was sleeping. Kamin was cold in her bed. Shivering slightly since the tempura in Kiri was oddly cold at night it was more than likely due to the valley and the mist as its warm in the day if damp.

"Zacc are you awake?" she asked softly trying not to wake him in case he was awake.

He switched from laying on his back to his side and looked at her "Yes I can't sleep I thought you were though." He said trying to show he was considerate of her needs.

He could see her shivering in her bed slightly. His home was much colder than this in the winter. However Konoha is very warm year round except the few months of winter of the year. Kiri was odd in itself. Going from the seventies to thirties in temperature in just a few hours in crazy it must be from the upcoming season change.

"Im cold" she whimpered softly at him. He didn't even get a chance to respond before she crawled out of her bed and into his. She quickly cuddled up to him. Pushing him onto his back she wrapped her right leg around his waist in a sort of intimate manner that surprised Zacc. Placing her arms around him and her head on his chest he was taken off guard.

He had never been this close to a girl let alone being left unsupervised with one and in an intimate setting. "Kamin I.." was all he said before she cut him off.

"I saw what you wrote in the mirror" she said and she felt his body tense up as she said it to him. She moved her body closer and held on tighter before continuing with what she was saying.

"I love you" she said to him as she lay on his chest. She felt his body tense one final time before it went completely relaxed.

"I love you too.." he weakly choked out as he felt his eyes watering.

"So if we are in this together then what's problem if we sleep in the same bed? Goodnight Zacc" she said as she kissed his cheek one last time before she fell asleep soundly in his arms.

"Goodnight Kamin.." he said as he lay there holding his beautiful blonde girlfriend in the privacy of their hotel room. Before he fell asleep a single tear fell from his eyes.

"Love"

A/N:

Ok so sorry about this chapter being late ive been very busy! So I cut it short and forced myself to sit down and finished all of it in a few hours. I just couldn't keep my attention on it sorry…

Anyways credit to Akihisa Ikeda for her characters I will be using for the Kiri genin. Ive been watching her anime's and I loved her characters….let me just say the Japanese have a thing for being perverts I must say….anyways that's who the next six genin generation for Kiri they will be in the story a lot don't worry.

I cut this chapter very short and I know you're probably sick of the romance development already. I apologize the next few chapters will be the exams and I plan to have the next chapter be the first two tests so it will be very long.

This romance develop is needed for what I have planned with the Kiri genin mainly the silver haired one. O? a rivalry you say? I don't know what you talking about….

Anyways….READ MY STORIES! Review! Give me ideas if you want.

Im joining the marines soon so I'll try to finish as many stories as I can before I go off and do my thing. Don't worry ill finish this story which I planned on 80 or more chapters. I have some serious shit I want to do that will start the chain of events in the next few chapters.
