22: Genin Take Down! All Nine Rookies Face Off!

Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!

…My Line…

Sasuke, Raika, and Naruto all stood in front of Kakashi, who has his hands in his pockets, in front of Classroom 3 – 1. The Hatake was for once not reading his damn cursed orange book much to the girl's relief.

"Glad you came Raika," the silver hair Jonin stated. "For your sake and the others. Now you can all formally registrar for the Chunin Exams."

"Why?" the Miran asked. "What'd you mean?"

"You see only groups of three can apply for and take the Exam," the Jonin answered. "That's way it's always been."

"However, Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say that the decision to take the exam was up to the individual," the blonde stated.

"That's right, I did," Kakashi agreed.

"Was that a lie?" Naruto asked.

"Sort of," he answered. "It is an individual decision, but it affects all of you. I didn't tell all of you before because I didn't want the other guys to pressure you." The greenette started to growl under her breath as Naruto nodded in understanding. "At the same time, I didn't want to you feel obliged to participate because of any feelings that you might have for Sasuke or Naruto. I wanted you to come to a decision of your own free will."

"Wait a minute?" the Miran asked with rumbling growl. "Are you saying that you think I'm weak!? That I'm like Haruno?! Is that it?!"

"What?!" the Hatake asked in shock. "No!" He shook his head. "That is not it."

"Well, it sure feels like it," the greenette deadpan.

"I have to agree with her, sensei," Naruto spoked up with a bit of a glare. "It sure sounds like you are calling imouto weak without actually saying it."

"They're right," the Uchiha agreed with a nod.

"I am trying to say is that a full team is needed to take the exams," Kakashi stated as he waved his hands in front of him. "That's all! I swear!"

"Yeah, sure you were," Raika growled.

"Anyways, it's a moot point," Kakashi went on as he tried to get back to what he was saying. "Your all here and for the right reasons." The Miran just has her arms crossed with a glare. "Naruto…" The Uzumaki smirked. "Raika…" The greenette glare remained in place. "And Sasuke…" The Uchiha was smirking just like the blonde. "I'm proud of you. Couldn't ask for a better team." He moved away from the door. "Good luck."

"We won't let you down Sensei," Naruto told him as they moved towards the room's door. "Ya know."

Kakashi looked away as Raika and Sasuke opened the door and they walked in before it closed behind them.

...My Line...

"What's this?" Naruto asked nervously.

The greenette looked around the room as she took in all the other Genin, who were glaring at them, but only few caught her attention.

"Gee...I guess it looks like we're not as alone as we thought," the Miran stated. "So much competition." Raika smirked. "This is going to be fun."

Naruto looked at her with a deadpan look.

"Yeah, fun," he stressed.

"SASUKE!" a high-pitched voice yelled. "Where have you been?" Just then Ino Yamanaka jumped onto the Uchiha's back. "Boy, you have no idea how much I was hoping you'd show up here. I've missed those groovy good looks of yours."

"Can you please stop, Yamanaka?" the greenette asked. "You are making a mess of Konoha's Kunoichis image."

Ino looked at Raika with a glare.

"Miss Pathetic," Ino said in a way of greeting. "They let you in. Still think that you can be a good kunoichi, I see."

"Unlike you, Yamanaka, at least I train and not fawn over some pathetic emo boy like Uchiha," the Miran deadpanned.

"SAY WHAT!?"

"Oh, it's you guys," Shikamaru Nara's voice sounded making the rest all look at him with Choji Akimichi eating away next to him. "I knew this was going to be a drag, but I didn't know it was going to be this lame."

"All three stooges are here," Naruto stated.

"Hey!" Shikamaru yelled at him. "You know what pipsqueak...ah, forget you're a waste of time."

...My Line...

Shikamaru Nara always complaining, but never does anything about it, the laziest kid in the Academy. Choji Akimichi. Akumunches more like it. I think he'd eat his own head if he could.

...My Line...

"Sorry, but Sasuke's all mine," Ino stated as she pulled down her eye and stucked out her tongue.

"Like I want him," Raika growled. "You can have the teme."

Naruto snorted at that in amusement.

...My Line...

Ino Yamanaka. Now she's annoying and not because she has the same stupid thing for Sasuke that Sakura does.

...My Line...

"Well, well," a voice said making them all to look over to see Squad 8. "What ya know? The whole gangs back together again."

"Oh," a shy voice said to which Naruto looked over at. "Hi Naruto."

Naruto just looked at the female member Squad 8, but she blushed and looked away while Raika looked back and forth between them before face palming at the blonde's stupidity.

...My Line...

Hinata Hyuuga. She's ok, but I don't know why she gets all shy and embarrassed every time I even...look at her. It's kind of weird.

…My Line…

"She's good for you, Aniki," the Miran whispered into the Uzumaki's ear.

"Say what!?" Naruto asked in shock.

"Hinata would be a good match for you," the greenette informed him again. "Unlike Haruno and on the plus side, she actually is serious about being a kunoichi." She smirked. "You do want a strong wife, who can protect the children, right?"

The blonde looked at the Hyuuga in wonder as he thought over what his honorary sister said.

...My Line...

Kiba Inuzuka and his dog Akamaru. Forget what I said about Ino cause this guy's the most annoying of all. He thinks he's so cool.

...My Line...

Naruto looked over at the third member of the team, who was being quiet.

...My Line...

And there's Shino Aburame. Well, he's just weird. Kinda of a mystery, but that doesn't mean he can't be annoying, too.

...My Line...

"You guys, too, huh?" Shikamaru asked. "Man, everyone's here for this stupid thing."

"Yup," Kiba answered. "Here we all are." The Inuzuka laughed. "The 9 Rookies. This is gonna be fun. At least for those of us good enough to make the cut." He smirked as he looked at the Uchiha. "Right, Sasuke?"

"Kiba, careful you don't get, too, overconfident," Sasuke told him.

"Just wait," Kiba told all of Team Kakashi. "We're gonna blew you guys away! We've been training like crazy."

"What do you think we've been doing?" Naruto asked. "Sitting around and picking daises? You don't know what training means!" 'Especially when your best friend is Raika Miran.'

"Oh, don't mind Kiba?" Hinata asked. "I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it."

"Huh?"

Naruto looked at Hinata confused making the shy girl to blush and look away while Kiba and Akamaru looked at her.

'Akamaru is looking pulpier, juicer,' Choji thought as he looked at the dog before walking closer only for Shino to get in the way. "What do you want?" The Aburame looked down. "What's wrong?"

The Akimichi looked down.

"Thought you haven't noticed it," he answered.

"Huh?"

"Didn't want you stepping on it."

"Why?" Choji asked. "Are you saving it for lunch?"

Raika let out a sigh as she face palmed.

"Hey, you guys!" a male voice called out.

All 9 Genin turned to see a guy with silver hair that was in a ponytail and also wearing eyeglasses, who was looking at them.

'Why are getting a bad feeling from him?'

"You might wanna try keeping it down a little," the silver hair Genin stated. "I mean, no offense, but you're the 10 Rookies, right? Fresh out of the Academy. I wouldn't go making a spectacle of yourselves. Just cool it. This isn't a class field trip."

"Well, who asked you?" Ino asked. "Who are you?"

"I'm Kabuto Yakushi," the guy answered. But, really look around you?" As one, the group all looked around to see that there were other ninjas glaring at them. "You made quite an impression." He then looked at a group of Ninjas behind them. "See those guys?" The Rookies where now looking at them as well. "They're from Amegakure (The Village Hidden in the Rain), very touchy. They all are. The Exam makes everyone tense, and you don't wanna rub them they wrong way."

"Uh-ah," Ino agreed a bit scared making Raika to roll her eyes.

"You can't help it," Kabuto stated. "I mean, how could you know how things work? You're just rookies. You remind me of myself awhile back."

"Kabuto?" Raika asked. "Is that your name, Yakushi?"

"Yeah," the Yakushi answered as the redhead face palmed at the stupid question.

"This isn't the first time you've taken the exam?" the Yamanaka asked again.

"No, it's...my 7th," Kabuto answered as he rubbed the back of his head making everyone to gasp. "Well, they're held twice a year so this well be my fourth year."

"Huh?"

"Wow, a veteran," Ino breathed. "You must be an expert by now."

"Yeah, sort of," Kabuto agreed with a nervous smile.

"Cool, you can give us all the inside tips!" Naruto yelled.

"Yeah, some expert," Shikamaru deadpan. "He's never pass."

"Well, 7th times the charm," Kabuto said with a nervous smile. "That's what they say, huh?"

"So, I guess all those rumors about the exam being tough were true," Shikamaru stated. "Oh, man, I knew this was gonna be a drag."

"Hang on," the Yakushi spoke up. "Don't give up hope, yet. Maybe I can help you kids out a little." The silver hair Genin pulled out a deck of cards. "With my Ninja Info Cards."

"What the heck are those?" Naruto asked as he looked at them.

"It's hard to explain, but these cards have been chakra encoded with everyone thing I've learned over the past four years," Kabuto answered. "I've got more than 200 of them. So, you see, I haven't been completely wasting my time." The glasses wearing male put the deck on the ground before he held up a blank card. "They may not look like much to the naked eye…" He then placed the card next the deck. "In fact, they appear to be blank." He placed a pointing finger on the card while raising his other hand into a hand sign. "Don't want just anyone seeing this stuff."

"What are you doing?" Raika asked.

"You see," Kabuto stated to answer as he spun the card around with his finger. "I'm using my Chakra to reveal their secrets." Just then in a puff of smoke a map of the Villages and Lands appeared. "Like this for example."

"Awesome," Ino said in awe. "A map. Of what?"

Raika face palmed at the stupid question that the female blonde asked while moving to stand near Hinata.

"It shows all the geographical distribution of candidates that have come to take the exam," Kabuto answered. "What villages they come from and how many from each village." The older male looked at them. "Why do you think they all come here and take the exam together at the same time?" The group all looked at him confused. "It's to fester friendship between nations of course. 'International Brotherhood and all that' and it's true enough as far as it goes."

"But, there's another reason?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah," the Yakushi answered. "You see, the important thing is that this way they can carefully regulate the total number of Shinobi that end up in each village, there in maintaining the balance of power."

"Oh yeah...balance of power...hmm…" Naruto said as he thought about it.

'Oh, thank God,' Raika thought as she breathed in relief. 'He is actually brain.'

"Balance of Power?" Shikamaru asked. "Big deal. It's all a drag."

"If the balance isn't maintained then one nation can wind up with many more Shinobi than its neighbor and it might be tempted to attack them," Kabuto informed them as he made the map vanished. "So, they try to maintain the status quo. Makes sense...I suppose."

"Do those cards of yours have any info on the candidates?" Sasuke asked. "Individually?"

"They might," the silver hair Genin answered. "You have someone special in mind?"

"I might," the Uchiha answered.

"Well, I can't promise that my information is complete or perfect, but I've got something on just about everyone," Kabuto told Sasuke. "Including you guys, of course. So, which is it?" The older male held up a card from his deck. "Tell me anything you know about them, a description, where they're from, whatever. Anything at all."

"He's Sabuku no Gaara then there's Rock Lee of Konoha, and Raika Miran, while you're at it," Sasuke informed him.

The hidden Senju cousins looked at the Uchiha with a glare on their faces while the rest were surprised.

"Man, that's no fun," Kabuto sighed. "You even know their names. That makes it easy." As they all watched, Kabuto pulled out three cards from the deck. "Here they are."

"Show 'em to me," Sasuke ordered.

'Why the fuck does Sasuke want to know about Raika for?' Naruto thought as he crossed his arms and glared at his dark hair teammate.

"Okay, first up is Rock Lee," Kabuto said once the information appeared on the card. "Looks like he's about a year older then you guys. Mission experience: 11 C-Ranks and 20 D-Ranks. His Squad Leader is Might Gai. In the last 12 months, his Taijutsu has erratically improved, but his other skills are pretty shaky. Last year, he got a lot of attention as a Genin, but for some reason he chose not to participate in the Chunin Exams." Kabuto looked up at them then. "This'll be his first time as a candidate, some as you guys. His teammates are Tenten and Neji Hyuuga."

"Hyuuga, huh?"

"Okay, now for Sabuku no Gaara," the Yakushi said as he brought up the info. "Mission experience: 8 C-Ranks and...get this 1 B-Ranks as a Genin! There's not a lot of information on this guy. He's a rookie from another land originally, but there is this." Once again, the older Genin looked up at them. "He survived every mission without getting a scratch on him."

"The dude done a B-Rank as a Genin?" Shikamaru asked in shock. "And had never been injured?"

"What's the deal with this guy?" Naruto asked.

"And finally, Raika Miran," the silver hair Genin said as he brought of the greenette's own info. "An orphaned child that seems to have the protection of Team Tobirama and is also the student of all three of them. Mission experience: 15 D-Ranks and 1 C-Rank turned A-Rank." Those not of Squad 7 looked over at the said team in surprise. "She excels in Medical Ninjutsu even though her Chakra reverse are huge though her speed and Fuinjutsu abilities are nothing to laugh at either. The Miran uses the Taijutsu style known as Tai Chi because it is believed that her primary affinity is water. She is not bad in the Elemental Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu department, but her Genjutsu sucks." It wasn't really surprising that Raika wasn't all that good in Genjutsu even with her amazing Chakra Control. "She part is of Squad 7 under the command of Kakashi Hatake. Her teams are Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki. The team use to have another, but they were deemed unsuitable for the Shinobi life and was thus removed." He then looked up at them. "However, there is something else." This made the rest all raised an eyebrow. "Even though she was born full term, her muscles are underdeveloped, so she has to use speed to put any kind of power behind her hits."

Many heads turned towards the greenette while Naruto was glaring at the older Genin for telling the whole room about her personal medical report.

"Yicks," Ino said as she flinched.

She felt bad for the Miran, but that didn't mean that she was going to let the other girl take Sasuke from her. The older Genin cackled before he placed another card down and then brought up more info into view.

"Leaf, Cloud, Sand, Rain, Grass, Waterfall, Sound," Kabuto listed off the villages in the exam. "From the looks of it, they've all sent exceptionally this time around. Of course, the Hidden Sound Village is small, it just sprang up recently and no one knows anything about." Rin raised an eyebrow at that. "Those guys are a complete mystery." The silver hair Genin picked up his cards after whipping the info on them and put them back into the deck. "Well, you get the point, this competition is going be intense this year."

"So, it would seem," Hinata stated. "It's almost enough to make you lose your confidence."

"It's a fine time to start talking like that!" Ino said to the Hyuuga.

"Do you...really think it's going to be tougher this time?" Raika asked looking at the Hyuuga with worry.

"Oh, yeah," Kabuto answered. "In the four years I've been coming. I've never seen a crop of candidates with as much potential as this one. Yep, we've got our work cut out for us."

...My Line...

Kakashi stood outside of the door with narrow eyes of his own.

...My Line...

"I can't go along with this!" Iruka yelled at him during the meeting about the Chunin Exams. "They may be under your care Kakashi, but they were my students. I know them. I trained them! I don't know what you're trying to prove with this, but…"

"You know," Gai spoke up as he walked towards the other Jonin. "He might be right Kakashi. You putting a lot of pressure on them. Why so impatient? I held my team back for a year so that they may hone their skills and mature. Let them enjoy their youth a little longer?"

"Your concern is touching," Kakashi stated after he laughed a bit. "Is it because you know that your guys don't stand a chance against mine?"

This made Gai growl at him.

"Alright, alright," the Third spoke up. "That's enough. The matter of the Rookies participation is closed. Now as for the other Genin I'm ready to consider your recommendation."

"I know what I'm doing," the Hatake informed his friend. "You'll see."

...My Line...

'I wish I was as sure as I sounded,' the silver hair Jonin thought. 'I wonder how they are doing.' He looked up at the door in thought. 'Even the cockiest of them must be a little scared.'

...My Line...

'I was right, this is going to be fun,' Raika thought with a smirk as Naruto shook either in fear or excitement. 'I can handle it this.' She took noticed of Naruto. 'Though I am worried about Naruto. He may act like nothing usually gets to him, but I know that it does at times. Maybe I should say something.' The greenette walked forward a bit. "Hey, Naruto everyone will be fine."

However, Naruto turned around and pointed at the crowd making the Miran to gasp at the sudden movement.

"MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI!" the blonde yelled. "AND I'M GOING TO BEAT EVERYONE OF YA!"

...My Line...

"YA KNOW!"

Kakashi cackled as he thought about Obito Uchiha and the boy's own Mother.

...My Line...

"Hey, what is that idiot trying to do?!" Ino yelled as she ran up to the female of Squad 7. "Is he trying to get us killed?!"

'I've should have known,' the Miran thought with annoyance. 'He doesn't know how to be scared.'

"Tell your boyfriend to keep his big fat trap shut!" the Yamanaka Heiress yelled at the younger hidden Senju.

"Whose boyfriend?" Raika asked sounding pissed.

"Oh, I forgot," Ino stated. "You can't get one!"

"What did you say!?" the Miran asked. "I'll have you know that I can get one, but I just don't won't one. And in case, you have forgotten, I see Naruto as my BROTHER!" She than shuddered. "The very thought of him being my lover makes my skin crawl."

Ino blinked at that before she realized that the greenette was not joking.

...My Line...

"You know, with the way you two are, I can see you both married in future," an 8-year-old Kiba joked.

A 7-year-old Naruto and Raika looked at each other before looking back at Kiba.

"Who?" they asked.

"You two, Naruto Raika," the Inuzuka deadpan in answer. "I can see you two married to each other when we're all older."

"HELLO NO!" they yelled at the same time. "GROSS! SHE'S/HE'S MY SISTER/BROTHER!"

Raika looked a little green in the face.

"Excuse me," she said as the greenette stood up. "I need to go throw up now."

The whole class watched in shock as the Miran ran out of the room with her hand over her mouth.

"Geez, look what you did now, Kiba," the Uzumaki sighed as he stood up to go after her to make sure that she was okay.

...My Line...

"Yeah, I feel a lot better now," Naruto stated with a grin.

'Idiot,' Raika thought with a small cackle as Sasuke and Kabuto smirked. 'But…' She smiled softly at her blonde friend. 'He wouldn't be Naruto if he didn't do something stupid, I guess.' The greenette looked up at the ceiling. 'I blame Hatake for that.'

...My Line...

The three Genin from the Sand was shown as they watched.

"That's the same kid as before isn't?"

"He yaps just like a little dog."

...My Line...

"What a jerk," Tenten stated.

"Well, he surely hasn't lost any of his spunk," Neji Hyuuga stated.

"He has passion," Rock Lee agreed.

"I guess, you didn't intimidate him as much as you thought you did, huh, Lee?" the Hyuuga asked.

...My Line...

"You heard what he said about the Hidden Sound Village?" a male wearing a muscle note forehead protector asked his two teammates. "He called us little. A mystery."

"I heard."

"I say, we teach this guy some manners."

"Yeah. Let's clear up some of the mystery for him. Update his information. Let him that you insult the Hidden Sound Shinobi then you better be ready for the consequences."

...My Line...

"Uh, can you say that again a little louder?" Kiba asked. "Didn't quite catch it."

"You moron," Shikamaru sighed. "Are you trying to get everybody in this place to hate our guts or what?"

At this point Raika looked a little pissed though she was still slightly amused.

"Naruto, you jackass!" Ino yelled as she put him in a head lock. "Why did you go and say something like that? You obnoxious…" The female blonde stopped when she saw the other Genins all glaring at them. "Oh, hi everyone. He. Don't mind him? He sometimes say's these crazy things, but he doesn't really them. They just kinda of come out, he's got this condition, kinda of a psychical thing, heh, he really should on medication, haha." The Miran let out a sigh at that. "Now see what you done, Naruto? You've…"

"Yamanaka, let me handle this?" the greenette asked as she walked forward.

"Oh, okay," the Yamanaka agreed in surprise before she stepped back.

"But, first," Raika sighed before she turned to the group of Genin with a glare. "Do you all got a staring problem or what?" By then her KI had flooded the room as she gave them all a very shark like grin {A/N: Think Kaitou KID aka Kaito Kuroba from Detective Conan and Magic Kaito 1412}. "Cause if you don't stop staring then I will prank the living hell out of you."

This made the smart ones to stop glaring and face the front while the stupid ones found either their hair or their clothes every color of the rainbow.

...My Line...

"You ready?"

"Let's do it."

All three Sound Genin vanished.

...My Line...

"Now then…" Raika said while her shark like grin turned sickly sweet and the rest all looked away, the green hair Genin turned towards the blonde, who was trying to hide behind Sasuke. "Naruto, we need to talk. You are to apologize to these fine Chunin Candidates."

"But…" the blonde started.

"Or I will ground you from your ramen until your 20," his friend interrupted.

"NO!" the Uzumaki yelled. "Not my ramen!"

"Then apologize," the Miran growled.

"Fine," Naruto sighed before he looked at the room and bowed. "I am truly sorry for what I said." He then stood up and looked at Raika. "Happy?"

"Yes," she answered as she beamed at him.

'Scary,' was the collective thought of every Genin in room.

...My Line...

Just outside of the classroom's window, the believed to be dead Uchiha had to quickly leave as he about gave away because he was laughing.

...My Line...

Kabuto looked out of the corner of his eyes as the three Shinobi from the Sound moved quickly towards the group though Kankuro had moved to take off the bundle on his back only to be stopped by Gaara. One of them then threw two kunais at the Yakushi, who dodged them, when the second one appeared in front of him and threw a punch.

'They're from the Village Hidden in the Sound,' the silver hair Genin thought in surprise.

However, once again the older Genin dodged the attack.

'Man, he's fast,' Naruto thought in shock.

Raika narrowed her eyes as that just points more to him being suspicious.

'He's almost as quick as me,' the Uchiha thought.

Kabuto smirked before the sound of break glass was heard making the 9 Rookies to gasp as the older male's glasses was shown to have been broken.

"Oh, I get it," Kabuto said as he removed his glasses. "It was that kind of attack."

"Hang on," Sasuke said as he walked forward. "I saw it all. He dodged the attack. How did that happen?"

"It must have come closer than it looked," Shikamaru suggested. "Tch! Look at him acting like it was nothing? Real tough guy."

However, to their shock Kabuto collapsed while coughing up a bit of blood and though the greenette found him suspicious, she ran to his side as her hands were already glowing green with healing chakra.

"What?" Naruto asked in shock. "Did he just…" The blonde was quick to join them. "Kabuto, what's wrong? Is everything okay?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," the Yakushi answered as the greenette finished with her healing. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked a little bit worried.

"He'll be fine, Naruto," Raika answered this time. "It would seem that his problem was his inner ear." She turned narrow wine-red eyes on the three Sound Genin. 'Was that attack sound based or wind based?'

"Not such a tough guy after all, I guess," one of the foreign Ninjas said in a smug voice. "Maybe that's why he's on his 7th try."

"Write this one your little card, punk," the Second foreign Ninja stated. "The Genin from the Sound Village will be Chunin when this is all over. Guaranteed."

'I don't get it,' the Uchiha thought. 'He saw their attack in time to evade it. What made him fall apart?'

...My Line...

"Lee, what was going on with that attack?" Neji asked.

"There was more to it than just speed," Lee answered him. "Some kind of trick."

...My Line...

Raika was still glaring at the three foreign Ninjas in front of her when the sound of an explosion was heard making everyone to look at the front.

"Alright you, baby-faced, degenerate!" a voice shouted. "Pip down and listen up!"

'Please don't tell me that it's…' the Miran thought was interrupted when the smoke cleared, and the speaker was seen.

"It's time to begin!" a man with three scares on his face said. "I'm Ibiki Morino, your proctor and from this moment on...your worst enemy."

'We're doomed,' Raika thought as she hanged her head with a groan.

...My Line...

Suiren Uzumaki: To the review left by danj09290 from last chapter: I actually almost freaked out like Sakura did when I first saw that genjutsu. Oh *Blinks in surprise*. You do *Tilts head*? But, good call. And you would be right about Naruto though I think that Raika will have that talk with him during the month break just before they get their different teachers. I have plans for Anko and Raika's relationship with each other and that is all I am saying.
