AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK, here's a oneshot based on a crazy idea I just had. Anyway, it's also AU so the characters would be older, like in their teens because I don't think it's rational to graduate kids from a Ninja School at age 12. I mean, on paper it sounds OK, but you're expecting 12 year old kids to be ninjas, whom by definition are assassins, thieves, spies and saboteurs. Anyway, here's my oneshot. Someone else could adopt it but hey, it's just an idea that I have to put on paper. I'm gonna use a familiar trio for this since I'm an OC using guy.

Anyway, I'm setting this during the preliminaries of the Chuunin Exams and focusing on three matches. First match…

SASUKE UCHIHA VS RYUKI HASUMA

Sasuke, feeling confident, walked into the arena to meet his opponent. He scrutinized the shinobi he would be fighting. He was dressed in a black, zipped up jumpsuit with a belt covered in pouches. He wore red boots and gloves as well as a scarf. His hair was a reddish color with bangs that framed his face and a little messy on top. It was braided too, hanging down his back and he wore a long red scarf. In addition, he wore goggles which were over his forehead protector. His eyes were bright green, with a shine in them.

Sasuke didn't consider him much of a threat, just a stepping stone to reach his goal. He would just end this match quickly and move on to the next stage with no trouble at all. His opponent, Ryuki, pulled his goggles over his eyes to reveal the symbol on his forehead protector. It was just a pair of rectangles overlapping each other.

The referee gave the signal that the match had started and Sasuke rushed at his opponent. However, his punch was blocked and Sasuke received a knee to the stomach, nearly knocking the air out of him. He then felt a chop against the back of the neck, knocking him down.

Sasuke picked himself up, angered at the humiliating. He performed a set of hand seals and executed one of his signature fire Jutsus. The large fireball was launched and hit Ryuki directly, enveloping him in flames. Sasuke smiled, expecting the match to be over and for the referee to call it but then he saw something that completely flabbergasted him.

His flames weren't harming his opponent. The flames now encircled Ryuki harmlessly and the red-haired shinobi was pooling the flames into his hands, holding the flames in his hands. He smiled and rushed at Sasuke with flaming hands. Sasuke had to dodge a swipe which left a trail of fire as his opponent started a relentless assault on Konoha's last Uchiha but then his opponent vanished from sight and reappeared behind Sasuke to kick him forward. Sasuke regained balance and spun around but his opponent vanished from sight again. Sasuke activated his Sharingan Eye which could see through any Genjutsu but this was no Genjutsu.

His opponent reappeared in front of him and punched him so hard he was sent flying. Sasuke was then frozen in midair. The crowd was speechless as Sasuke was levitated off the ground. Sasuke tried to struggle free from whatever it was that was holding him, but couldn't. Just what was going on here!?

Ryuki had his finger pointed at Sasuke and then he flicked his wrist, sending Sasuke crashing violently against the wall. He then pulled his arm back, dragging Sasuke through the air only to hit him with a kick that sent him skyward. Again, Ryuki used the same invisible force to stop Sasuke's flight and drag him back to the ground. Ryuki then used an uppercut when Sasuke was within range and buried his fist deep into his stomach. Sasuke's eyes widened as his body folded in half before he was tossed to the ground, in pain.

Ryuki Hasuma was declared the winner and he pulled his goggles up to smile, waving at his teammates.

ICHIJYO AMAKUSA VS SAKURA HARUNO

Sakura's opponent was completely covered in a deep violet cloak with the hood up, concealing his features from her. She couldn't tell their gender because the cloak completely covered their bodies. It should be a guy, right? That was what the name suggested.

As the match began, Sakura rushed forward and threw a strong punch, burying her fist into her opponent's face. However, her hand only caught onto an EMPTY cloak. Where had her opponent gone? Had he used a Shunshin to escape?

No, he was hiding, and in the last place Sakura expected.

Ichijyo rose from the shadows behind her, surprising her as he revealed himself to her. He was dressed the same as Ryuki, in a black jumpsuit, with purple gloves and boots. His lower face was covered like Kakashi's by a black cloth mask. He had dark hair that was chin length and parted in the centre. He also wore the forehead protector of his village, which had a overlapping rectangle symbol. Sakura only noticed him too late as he performed a spin kick that knocked her down to the ground.

Ichijyo performed a series of hand seals and then slammed his palm to the ground. His shadow extended and then a claw made of shadow burst out from the ground. Now the Nara watching thought they had mastered the ability to manipulate shadows, but this shinobi from a foreign village was able to do something incredible as making shadows tangible.

Sakura shrieked and rolled out of the way as the claw slammed down, hitting the spot she'd been lying on. He then began to sink into his own shadow before his hand rose out of Sakura's, grasping her leg. Sakura screamed as she was being dragged along the floor, struggling to free herself from the creepy Shinobi's grasp. Now intending to end the game, he burst out of the shadow and then grabbed Sakura's head in his hands. He looked into her eyes with his own and whispered something.

Sakura fell asleep could no longer fight. Ichijyo Amakusa was declared the winner.

YOSHIYUKI TAKADA VS KIBA INUZUKA

This match was pretty short as Kiba's opponent had been using traps. There were explosives hidden in the ground. The question was, how could Takada have hidden them in the arena floor?

Yoshiyuki Takada was dressed like his teammates, only with blue gloves and boots and with a long blue coat. His hair was brown and spiked up and he was wearing a strange headset with a blue visor over his eyes. He had weapons hidden in his coat and not afraid to use them. Of course, he only needed one weapon. It was just a switch to set off the explosives hidden under Kiba's feet. After knocking the Inuzuka and his dog out with several concussive mines, Takada was declared the winner.

It was a fact that Takada had not buried the mines himself. Ichijyo had done it for him when he'd been battling Sakura. Using his ability to swim through the ground with his shadow ability, he planted the mines in strategic positions for Takada's match. Of course, this was if Ichijyo's match was earlier. It all worked out in the end anyway. Takada's visor allowed him to see the mines and the switch was used to activate the ones closest to Kiba.

KAMEN RIDER CHROME: Just something silly that came to me suddenly. Not even gonna make this into a real fic. I just want you to tell me what you think.
