A/N: I know I didn't get five reviews, but I'm really sorry about making you guys wait so long for an update last time. My biggest pet peeve is when author's on any site leave the story unfinished, so I will never do that you guys. Last, expect chapters within two weeks. I will never exceed two weeks. I'm in college and I have a ten month old, so I have to work on this a little every single day. However, hearing from you guys does make me work to get the next chapter out faster though!
Thank you for the favorite and/or follow: ArtemisRenee

*Tsuyoi POV*
I crouched low in the shadows overlooking the genins. The grass ninja with the straw hat catching my attention. There was no way that wasn't him, not with those kind of abilities. The tongue was a dead give away to who he was. I was positive Anko Mitarashi knew who was behind that facade as well.
I stood to my feet, and did the hand sign for the lava transportation jutsu. The image of my siblings and other genin disappeared, Itachi's back reappeared in front of me. "Well?" He asked, not turning to look at me. Kisame looked at me over his shoulder.
"I confirmed that Orochimaru is participating in the chunin exams." I explained in a flat voice. There wasn't much that I could do since I couldn't contact them directly. I was careless once before when I went back into the uncle Hikari's home to save her from Jun, but I wouldn't be able to intervene without being seen completely. I was a member of the akatsuki now with my name almost at the top of the bingo books.
I walked to stand between them to look at the entire leaf village. Both Kisame and Itachi stood rigid beside me knowing what was to come. "Was Kanpekina there with them?" Kisame asked the question that I had been waiting for.
"Yes, she is a part of my sister and brother's squad. She is also dating my younger brother, Shosha." I said with a slight smirk, I felt Kisame's glare burn holes into the side of my head. Itachi looked away from us chuckling quietly.
"Your brother better not try anythin-"
"You do not need to worry about him. He is...a little rough around the edges, but he is a completely different person when it comes to your daughter." My smirk morphed into a gentle smile. Kisame seemed to relax only a little bit.
"You better hope so...for his sake." Kisame said turning his gaze away from me and back onto the genin. "Sasuke is doing alright?" Itachi turned his sharingan eyes towards me. I grunted and nodded in affirmation. Everyone was doing well despite our misdeeds. Itachi hummed back in response.
"Let us hope Kabocha and her team intervene in their fight against Orochimaru." Both Kisame and I cut our eyes at Itachi. "You want my daughter and both his sister and brother to risk their lives for your brother? Laughable." Kisame scowled at Itachi and I kept my face neutral.
"Do you think they are no match for Orochimaru?" Itachi prodded in a passive aggressive manner. "Your precious hokage is barely a match for his former student." Kisame spoke in an even tone.
"They are not ready. You know Kabocha, Shosha, and Kanpekina are stronger than your brother's team, but they will not be any help to them. Do not try and send them to their death for a futile cause." I told him continuing with an even tone as well. Itachi hummed but I knew he was worried since Orochimaru was after Sasuke's sharingan.
"This would not be happening if you had kept to our agreement." Itachi said flatly and my mask cracked slightly in irritation. "Woah, now! Let's not get into that again. Let's not forget we have to return to the rain village to report to leader-sama." Kisame laughed out not wanting to hear Itachi and I argue in mild tones.
"Let us leave then." I began to lead the way back to the rain village. Kisame and Itachi following close behind me. Our minds had immediately snapped back to business instead of personal matters.

*Normal POV*
Kabocha's scythe sat over her shoulder as she held towards the butt of the enormous weapon. She took up residence squatting beside a sitting Kina. Kina sat to her left with her staff at the ready. Shosha looked like he was lazing about since he was lying his head in Kina's lap with a senbon needle hanging out of his mouth.
"So...they are really avoiding us." Kina reiterated what I had said earlier. "Like the plague." Shosha grumbled around the senbon needle. A glistening toxin keeping its place on the tip. Shosha and Kabocha shared the same scowl when yet another team split to go around them. They were sitting in a clearing...clear to enemies...except who would want to try and fight someone with a reputation of being a general, wrecking crew, and dragon of the west.
"Let us stop trying to get them to come to us. It looks like we have to give chase." Kina said gently nudging Shosha so that she could stand. Shosha stood up and helped her up, lending his hand to Kabocha whom he helped up as well. Kabocha remained silent as yet another team went around them.
"What do you wanna do?" Shosha asked with his serious face on. He was shifting his weight, something both Kabocha and Kina picked up on he did when he was ready for a brutal fight. Shosa also did not know how to pull his punches. Training with Jun had made him a killing machine since they always trained with the intent to kill. A killing machine that hid behind a goofy, blunt exterior.
Kina didn't like training and would only fight if she had to. She didn't like training because of the way Jun presented it. She missed the way Kiriena or Gorudo would train with them since it was more beneficial and objective, but make no mistake...Kina was also a trained killer in her own right.
Kabocha looked around the trees, her mind wandering to what the leaf genin would think if they ever saw her wild gaze in battle. What would they think if they ever saw her bare her fangs covered in blood while she laughed in front of a dead body? What would he think of her? He hadn't even killed anyone yet, and that was the life of a shinobi. She knew exactly what her team was. All three of them were dragons in harmless lizard's clothing...or wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Almost everyone is going for Naruto's squad." Kabocha said looking at the ruffling treetops. Shosha and Kina looked at her in surprise. "It makes sense. Even Gin was going after them because of Naruto's notorious loudmouth." Kabocha sighed rubbing her forehead, worry for one of her closest friends settling in as a headache.
"Should we go after Naruto? You have his smell memorized, so finding him will be easy." Shosha suggested rolling the senbon around in his mouth. "I don't want to put them under our protection, but…" Kabocha bit her sharp nails in contemplation.
"You worry for Shikamaru?" Kina stated more than asked with a gentle smile. Alight blush touched Kabocha's face at her insinuation. "No, Maru-kun is smarter than anyone taking part in this exam. He will outsmart any opponent, and avoid ones that are stronger than his team. I have faith in him. I just don't want to degrade Naruto and Sasuke by hovering over them this entire exam." Shosha grunted in pent up frustration.
"I say we go around slicing everyone up until we find the earth scroll we need. It's been two days already, I'm tired sick and tired of sitting around while these genin pussy-foot around us." Shosha bared his fangs with the needle cracking in his mouth from the pressure. His head snapped up as another team passed over us to go for Naruto's team.
"We aren't protecting them if we're looking for our scroll." Shosha growled squatting low, his leg muscles tensed as he propelled himself into the treetops. "Sho, wait!" Kina shouted up as Kabocha's body tensed up as soons as Shosha disappeared in the leaves.
Kabocha's eyes widened at the shadows facing off. "Ki, get back!" Kabocha jumped back, Kina following without a word. Three figures came crashing down, Shosha leisurely floating down after them. Shosha landed on top of them and proceeded to jump away to join Kabocha and Kina.
The groaning team on the ground were from the hidden grass village. Perfect. Perfect, because they weren't from the leaf or lava. "You wouldn't happen to be going after a bright blonde with whiskers, are you?" Kabocha's quiet tone spoke volumes. The grass ninjas froze as soon as they heard her voice.
"Tsk. Tsk. I think they were going to gang up on them. That's a no, no where we're from. What should we do with them? Maim? Kill? Torture?" Shosha licked his lips looking at the shaking grass genin. "Or, they can give us their scroll and be on their way." Kina suggested with a calm smile of her own.
"We'd rather die than give our scroll to you lava lizard scum!" A brave raven haired teenager screamed at them with determination. His companions shared warry looks. "You're a joke! Letting a girl control a nation's military power. It's a disgrace! You are a disgrace and shouldn't have the powerful title that you d-" The raven haired grass ninja's words were cut short when a hand was shoved through his teeth and into his mouth.
"I think I've heard enough." Kabocha stated looking down at him with a blank look. Instinct had taken over her mind, body, and emotions. Her cold-blooded nature was now at the forefront. She snatched her hand out of his head, his tongue in her iron grip. Blood filled the grass ninja's mouth, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. He fell back as Kabocha flicked his forehead with chakra being focused in her index finger. His head split from the impact, covering her and both of his wailing teammates in blood.
"Oooohhhh...a little harsh, Bo-Bo! I can't say he wasn't asking for it though." Shosha cackled looking at his sister's relaxed back.
"Give her the scroll and you two can take your teammate and leave. We'll also be keeping his headband." Kina said nonchalantly looking somewhere else.
"YOU KILLED JUROBO!" The lighter brunette screeched at Kabocha taking a battle ready stance. "Shinju, don't! Here, here!" The darker brunette, whose name was still unknown to them cried holding out their heaven scroll and their comrade Jurobo's headband. Kabocha took both without saying a word and tossed both items back to Shosha.
"You can go." Kina said now looking at the brunettes. The crying brunette grabbed his fallen comrade, and raging comrade and disappeared back into the trees. They headed away from Naruto's team who had been still for the last twelve hours or so from what Kabocha and Shosha could sense. They had had a big fight yesterday and they still hadn't moved. Now, there seemed to be a lot of chakra around their area. Kabocha was worried, and so was Shosha but he would never admit it outloud.
"It's not even the scroll we need." Shosha scoffed after he was sure the grass ninja were gone. Kabocha reached into one of her pouches and pulled out a cloth, wiping her face she returned the cloth back to the pouch. Blood remained on her arms, torso, and legs. Kabocha's eyes became less hyper-vigilant and blank as the glint returned to them.
"You must have only gotten your paralytic toxin on the surface of their skin since they were moving slightly. Do we need to train more?" Kabocha asked with a teasing grin. Shosha scowled at her while Kina giggled loudly.
"I was hoping they'd put up more of a fight. Looks like we're gonna have to go play with the sound to get a good fight." Shosha said with a scowl still in place. "I would like to leave. I am not fond of eating in the wilderness." Kina said looking at a berry bush.
"Fine, let's do this Shosha's way." Kabocha rolled her eyes at Kina's concern for food. It wasn't unwarranted considering they knew next to nothing about plants. They had been eating their depleting supply of dried fruit for the past two days. Shosha being the only one fond of some plants because of their toxic nature.
"Now, we're talking!" Shosha cheered. "Let's head for Naruto since he's getting all of the activity we want." Shosha suggested, but at the back of his mind worry was eating away at him. Kabocha and Kina nodded in agreement. The three of them took off to Naruto's location without hesitation.
The scene that actually made Kabocha stop in her tracks was Sakura's cut hair...Ino's bleed nose...Shikamaru holding her. Naruto and Sasuke were both down for the count. Kabocha was sure her heart was about to beat out of her chest. A boy in a green jumpsuit lay unconscious on the ground. Choji was taking on the same guy she took on during the start of the exam. Kabocha began to shake in anger. This sound team was taking them all on and was still winning.
Kabocha bared her fangs, hissing as smoke bellowed from her mouth catching everyone's attention in the clearing. She could spit acid at the amount of ferocity she was about to unleash on the sound ninja for touching her loved ones.
"KILL THEM!" Kabocha roared sprinting forward towards the wrapped sound ninja. Her heartbeat was loud in her ears as she swung her scythe, going in for complete decapitation. The wrapped ninja raised his arm once again to block her scythe, his eyes widened as he changed his course of action. He jumped back so he wouldn't lose his head and arm in one swipe. Kabocha's scythe hit the ground making the earth shatter and crumble like fragile glass.
"I'll kill you for hurting them!" Kabocha's eyes weren't the blank mask she wore when killing someone. Her eyes were alight with fire as she let go of her scythe, flashing hand signs in front of her blood covered body. "Fire style: dragon breath jutsu!" Kabocha didn't even need a deep breath as flames passed her lips like second nature. The wrapped ninja produced sound waves from his arms to counter the copious amounts of flames, jumping back once again to avoid the flames the sound didn't take care of.
"Sad, you forgot about me." Kina hissed swinging her staff into his side and sending him flying towards Shosha who came out of the fallen green ninja's shadow scaring the living shit out of everyone, but his teammates. "Who could ever forget you, gorgeous?" Shosha raised took an odd fighting stance, squatting with his hands forward and only his index and middle fingers out. The sound ninja couldn't correct himself because of how hard Kina had hit him.
The other male sound ninja came to his teammate's rescue. Raising his hands towards Shosha to stop him from attacking the wrapped ninja. "I don't think so!" Shikamaru shouted taking hold of him with his shadow possession jutsu.
"Your definitely mine now." Kabocha grinned, leisurely walking towards the captured sound ninja. Swinging her scythe around, a little skip in her step. "I'm gonna kill you...they only want to beat you and win...but I'm going to make sure you never take another breath in the living world." Kabocha licked her lips. The captured sound ninja looked ready to piss himself. Almost everyone in the clearing looked terrified of the lava shinobi that they thought they knew. She looked like a completely different person. All three of them did.
"Kabocha stopped her pursuit as soon as she saw dark aura being casted overhead. She turned her gaze to the now awake Sasuke amazed by the dark power he was emitting. "Shosha, Maru-kun let go and get back!" Kabocha shouted in a panic as Sasuke descended on the sound ninja. She was amazed at how quickly the yellow clad sound ninja was in his grasp.
"I don't know what's going on here, but I think you had the right idea, Kabocha. Especially, since Sakura is all banged up. I'm quite sure that it had to be these sound ninja. What do you think, Kabocha?" Sasuke looked over his shoulder at the gaping teenager. Everyone was looking at him in horror since he was pulling the sound ninja's arms far behind him. Tenten and Neji also watched on in quiet horror. Kabocha was looking at him with understanding and admiration. Kina and Shosha were looking at him with nothing but respect. They knew what they would do if their loved ones were hurt. Hell, that had just shown how ruthless they could be when they saw the situation.
"I...I think that...you are completely right Sasu…" Kabocha said in a strong voice, but her face portrayed nothing but a dreamy smile. "I don't think he needs those troublesome arms anymore." Brutality, power, intellect, and a commanding attitude all lava shinobi admired. Kabocha was no exception. Shikamaru looked from her to Sasuke with a weird expression. He didn't like where this was going. "Ino, get back in your body! Choji, get over here!" This was too much for them to handle. This was a side to his girlfriend he had never seen before, and he didn't know what to think.
The only thing that could be heard was an ear piercing scream and the sound of arms being dislocated, the yellow clad ninja fell to the ground in a screaming heap. All of the leaf genin gasped, the wrapped ninja swallowed loudly as soon as Sasuke turned his gaze on him. "Your next." Sasuke turned his body to go towards the shivering sound ninja.
"Sasuke, please stop!" Sakura dashed over to him, wrapping her arms around him and crying into his back. "You don't have to fight anymore!" Sakura cried out, and the black marks on Sasuke's skin crawled away to a hidden place under his clothes. Sasuke fell onto his ass, breathing heavily and leaning into Sakura.
"Here...you win...I realize now we're no match for you." The wrapped ninja said surprising everyone by putting his earth scroll onto the ground. He gathered his fallen teammates and bounded off into the treeline. Everyone gave a sigh of relief minus the lava shinobi.
"Your ears, babe.." Kina said in slight alarm, reaching out to wipe the blood from Kabocha's neck. Kabocha raised her hand to touch her ear and neck. She rubbed her fingers together, looking at the blood in confusion. "The sound from the mummy guy must have reached you." Shikamaru said startling her. Shikamaru forgot everything he just saw as soon as he heard she was injured.
"Maru-kun, are you hurt!" Kabocha shouted slightly making everyone cringe. She had never needed to shout before. She only shouted with Naruto because he was yelling as well. "No, no I'm not, troublesome woman. What were you thinking fighting him!" Shikamaru scolded her heavily, flicking her in the forehead.
"Hey, lay off! She was coming to everyone's rescue, and if you haven't noticed we were actually putting them on the defense...and what the fuck happened to you guys anyway! I swear, we can't leave you guys alone for two days without you getting into trouble, and why the fuck is Sakura's hair-" Kina elbowed the shit out of him, cutting off his rant.
"What Shosha means is...we're happy we came to see about you guys. He was worried just as much as we were." Kina said smiling at everyone. Everyone smiled back except an unconscious Naruto, Neji, and TenTen who was shaking Lee violently.
"Are her ears going to be okay!" Ino shouted so Kabocha could hear as well. "She's going to be fine because I know a little medical ninjutsu." Kina said giving a reassuring smile. Kina and Shikamaru helped Kabocha sit, Kina got right to work healing her ears.
"You guys definitely live up to your name, and I can see why Kabocha is called the dragon of the west! Wow!" Choji praised making all three of them grin. "You haven't seen anything yet!" Kabocha yelled, but nowhere near as loud as before.
Kabocha's grin fell off of her face when she caught sight of Sakura cradling Sasuke. Kina and Ino noticed that Kabocha was looking at her hair. "I'm done." Kina said distractedly as she helped Kabocha up with. "Hey, where do you th-" Kabocha put a gentle index finger on her boyfriend's lips to silence him.
"You and Choji should go wake Naruto. We want to go check on Sasuke and Sakura." Kabocha moved her index finger, kissing him quickly and leaving to go to Sakura. Shikamaru looked after her in a slight daze from the quick kiss. Choji laughed loudly, shoving his friend in Naruto's direction. Shosha following behind Choji and Shikamaru making gagging noises.
Kabocha squatted down beside them both. They looked at her in slight alarm, taking in her bloody armor.
"K-Kabocha...w-what…" Kabocha shook her head with a sheepish smile. "It's not mine, Sakura, no need to worry. I'm more worried about you two." Kabocha's smile went from sheepish to gentle looking at their terrified expressions. Across the clearing she could feel everyone's stare on her.
"Did you…" Sasuke trailed off and all Kabocha did was nod, understanding his question without him having to finish. Choji proceeded to bonk Naruto over the head, succeeding in waking him up. "Before he gets over here with all that racket. Let me fix your hair up for you Sakura!" Ino cheered pulling her away from Sasuke. Kina followed after leaving Kabocha alone with Sasuke.
"You've killed before haven't you?" Sasuke whispered, but really didn't ask her. He was telling her more than anything. "Yeah..doesn't get any easier if that's your next question." Kabocha said tiredly.
"My next question was how do you do it?" Sasuke asked looking her in her golden eyes. Golden eyes that looked far older than fifteen. Golden eyes that he hadn't looked into for fear of what was there...what wasn't. "I...I don't know. I just do what I have to. I've never enjoyed what've done, but I'm always doing what I have to regardless of my feelings, ya' know." Kabocha tried giving him a reassuring smile, but he wasn't falling for it this time.
"Have you talked to Shikamaru about...all of that." The statement was extremely hard for Sasuke to get out considering how he felt about the orange haired general before him. Kabocha shook her head in the negative.
"No...he wouldn't understand..." Sasuke felt something in him swell with affection and pride at the fact he knew something about her that her love interest did not. "I'll tell him everything I'be done someday...when he's not so innocent. However...you and I...we have seen our fair share of death, ne?" Kabocha smirked at Sasuke, her dark humor not lost on him. Sasuke smirked back at her.
"Well, you sit here and rest. I have something I need to take care of." Kabocha stood to her feet and went over to the girls. Ino was cutting Sakura's hair, Kina by her said giving feedback. Kabocha assumed her usual squatting position beside Sakura. Sakura jumped at her presence, not at all offending Kabocha.
"I have a newfound respect for you. If I'm being completely honest; I thought you were nothing but mouth and a slight brain. I apologize for my error. You may not have beaten them, but you protected Naruto and Sasuke until help arrived. Sometimes that's all a shinobi can do is protect their teammates so…" Kabocha took out a kunai flipping it around to face toward herself. Everyone seemed to jumped at the fact that she took out a kunai.
Kabocha raised the kunai up to her braid and sliced through the thick braid. The gasp was heard all around as her braid hit the ground. Her once lower back length hair now barely brushing her shoulders. Her hair immediately began to curl to accommodate the extreme loss of hair. Kabocha now sported a curly bob which Shikamaru didn't think looked bad on her. Her heart shaped face was now framed perfectly.
"Hm." Kina hummed running her hand through Kabocha's short curly hair before taking the kunai from her. Kina let her wavy, dark blue hair fall down her back as she released it from it's neat bun. She sliced through her hair with ease, her hair now just below her shoulders. "Why is everyone cutting their hair!? What's going on!" Naruto shouted tackling Kabocha to the ground.
"Hey, you idiot, get off!" Shikamaru shouted coming over to pull Naruto off of her. "A lot has happened since you've been out, Naru-nii. You've even missed me fight!" Kabocha cackled as Shikamaru helped her up and then kept his arm around her waist.
"What! What is going on! Someone please tell me!" Naruto shouted in despair that he hadn't seen her fight. "Argghh! Naruto, shut up!" Sakura screamed punching him across the clearing.
"Kabocha, why did you…" Sakura asked calming down. "Oh! I forgot to explain our actions!" Kabocha said sticking out her tongue.
"They did it out of respect for you. Our village is really serious about certain things. Fallen shinobi, strength, and getting things wrong. You actually showed them what you're capable of, and since you're a female it's even more important to them that they recognize your strength. Females in our village work twice as hard to get recognition, so that's why they cut their hair… they wanted to show you the respect you deserve." Shosha spoke up flinging his arm over Kina's shoulders.
"Wow…" Sakura said in admiration, gasping at Kabocha and Kina's pretty smiles that were directed at her. "Thank you." Sakura bowed to them and they returned it.
"Well, this is nice and all, but we gotta make a call to our allies. It's already been two days, and we haven't gotten the scroll we need." Shosha grumbled towards the end, annoyed that they still couldn't leave that kami forsaken forest.
"That's right..We were supposed to contact them hours ago..will you or Bocha make the call?" Kina asked Shosha. "You can do it, Kabocha, you have more reach than I do." Shosha said grinning at her. Kabocha scowled at her older brother, none to thrilled about wasting more chakra. She was the only one out of three of them that had used any chakra, a little amount for the dragon breath, but chakra no less
"Fine. Should we do it here, or move-"
"No way! You're going to do it right here, so that I can see! I missed everything already, there's no way I'm going to miss whatever you're about to do!" Naruto complained shaking Kabocha by the shoulders. "What a drag! Lay off will you!" Shikamaru smacked Naruto's hands away before the two teens got into an argument. Everyone looking between the two as they argued...Shikamaru never argues….
"It's fine Maru-kun!" Kabocha giggled kissing his cheek. "It's not fine when he keeps taking liberties to what's mine, troublesome woman." Shikamaru grumbled not liking Kabocha being man-handled.
"You two are the cutest!" Kina gave the couple a broad smile. "They're sickening." Shosha said, Kina pinched his ribs making him yelp.
"I don't get what's happening." Naruto said scratching his cheek. "Oh, Naruto…" Kabocha let out sigh rubbing her forehead. Everyone either sweat dropped or coughed to cover their laugh.
"Claw to it. We're losing daylight and I'm starving." Shosha said turning Kabocha around and shoving her away from the group. "Ugh! I'm going to kill you!" Kabocha waved her fist at him and Shosha only shrugged with an irritating smirk.
"Well, come on! Do your call thingy!" Naruto cheered making Kabocha roll her eyes. "Be quiet she's getting to it!" Ino and Sakura yelled at him. Neji, Tenten, and Lee watched on quietly as she walked a little further away from everyone.
"Does she really need to go that far?" Lee asked his teammates, Kabocha's ears twitching hearing his question. "Yeah, I do." She turned to smile at him making him blush. Neji narrowed his eyes at her, she didn't even acknowledge him. Kabocha turned back around to face away from everyone. She didn't care to speak with Neji after what happened between them after his father's death. Tenten she was fine with.
She did hand signs in rapid succession. She stopped and cupped her hands around her mouth. "Ninja art: dragon's roar." Kabocha said at her regular volume. She took a deep breath, shimmering green scales crawled up her neck alarming everyone that could see the back of her neck. She tilted her head back and roared to the sky. The sound rumbling more than the trees and the ground. The sound that left her body sounded pure animalistic...and feral.
"W-what is happening?" Choji asked falling to the ground and covering his head. "T-There's no way that s-sound is c-c-coming out o-of h-her!" Sakura said looking up at the shaking sky, and trying to keep her balance. Kina and Shosha stood strong, not at all fazed by the tremors. The roar stopped a whole minute later, but even it stopped the trees continued to shake.
"Awesome!" Naruto cheered as Kabocha turned around to give him a sheepish grin. "What exactly was that!? Man, oh man, you are really strong!" Naruto jumped up and down with a grin. Sasuke looked at her nothing short of amazement and adoration. He knew he chose the right girl to fall for.
"You're more than that." Shikamaru said smirking at her, Kabocha's face turned beet red at the face he was giving her. "You-"
Three bodies came down right into their little circle scaring everyone, but the lava shinobi. "W-what the hell!?" Naruto shouted in alarm. All of the leaf shinobi preparing for battle once again.
