Chunin exams, sorry some is the same as what I wrote before some is different.
I feel better about it this time.
There may be a few moments that line up with the real story, few and I tried to make sure I did not do that too much.
The sky was clear as I stared up at it, Iruka on my side as we strolled around the town talking about the chunin exams and the group he found for me.
"So the poor kid broke his leg?"
"Ya, leaving a spot open, they have been genin for a little over a year and I think you will fit them perfectly." I nodded as my eye's landed on the ground. "You will be above them in power." That made me look at him worried. "At some point everyone will be the strongest in a group."
"I feel sorry for them then." I joked and shared a silly smile at him even though I was half serious.
But this was literally the only group free and doing the chunin exams. It is them or no one and man I want to do this stupid exam, sounds so fun. We walked silently as I thought about it.
"Excuse me dear." Some older man with a cane pulled our attention. "You two look friendly, I am looking for the Hokage tower."
Iruka pointed northwest but the old man looked confused so I spoke up. "Take this road over here north and go about five blocks as it curves west, take a right at the large red flag and it curves to the right, then go north at the green building and shortly you will see the bright red building."
"Thank you." He smiled and turned around towards the street at a slow pace.
"Huh." I made a noise. "That is strange."
"What is something wrong?" He looked his way worried that he missed something.
"Oh no." I smiled at him. "It is just when I landed here I could not find my hospital room even when I stood in front of it."
"Ya, I remember." He smiled at me kindly. "Maybe it was a side effect as you just lost and gained a lot of information. Perhaps you are just back to normal."
"Perhaps." I spoke back as we started to walk again. "Could be why I was sleeping for so long."
"Maybe, we will never know."
"My mind was buffering." I yawned.
"Buffering?" He stared down at me confused.
"You know, loading."
"Like on a ship?" Making him pause, I just bit my lip and smiled at him as I shook my head.
"Nevermind." I laughed out and he caught up to me.
I Leaned on a tree excited, Iruka talked to that man I met at the bar, the one that failed taking on Anko, strangely they are his genin.
There is a girl from the Aburame clan and a boy from a ninja clan but no one holds them highly and they don't produce a lot of shinobi as it is small. The name Kamisu. We are to meet and have a battle, get to know each other and find out if we want to join together.
I repeated how to tell the female not to use her bugs on me over and over in my head as I waited, I did not want to seem mean.
I breathed in the air as the smell of flowers filled my nose, I almost enjoyed it when the smell got stronger very fast, the sound of buzzing hit my ears and I had to move away from where I stood as the chakra of someone came right at me.
There imbedded in the tree were shuriken made of flowers stuck deep in it, the smell coming from them was calming, almost a little dizzying making me stop smelling them getting some space from them and the kid now trying to attack me.
This dark haired kid around 14 was trying to land a hit, the smell made me feel almost a little off as I just dodged him. He jumped back tossed many more flower Shuriken at me and then ran back in.
What is this smell doing? suddenly his fist almost dubbled like I was drunk as I stumbled backwards slightly.
I closed my nose, it felt easy like making it stronger and jumped back getting space and breathed in deep as my vision came back. That was when I saw the three of them just walking towards us.
Iruka, Ebisu and by the look and chakra a very tiny Aburame.
This kid was then running circles around me tossing them. I could tell he was trying so hard as I moved around and slid out of the way when three blew up near my head. The loud bang was unexpected and blocked my sound for a second, the right side of my face felt like it was burned lightly.
I watched him toss more, so serious on his face but after a few more I could see the difference between the shuriken and ones that would explode as I pulled out my whip and rolled away from them all.
They were the most beautiful jutsu I have seen and when smelling, a smell you want to embrace as it was just so nice, was an interesting trap.
"I will make my clan known throughout the lands." He scowled. "I don't think your good enough." Feeling a little proud I shoved chakra into my feet and ran at him, I got in close and kicked out his legs, switching in a second I was back up and slammed my leg into his side.
He flew to the right, he was adjusting himself to land properly when I grabbed him in my whip and pulled him to me slamming my waterless fist into his chest making him fly back again as he rolled and sliding onto his feet.
This time he gave this small smile as he looked at me.
I ran at him and just tested out his tai, dodging and avoiding his pretty jutsu as I kicked him around. He had this lost look on his face as I took a second and asked about the smell and he seemed like he was waiting for it and was excited to talk about it.
That is his jutsu.
He can turn flowers into one of two and the smell if in big doses can disorient the target. He rambled about how useful they are and how stupid this village does not see it's use.
"Ya, so what if its just as useful as a normal ninja weapon." He was yelling making me nod, ya I can see that. "I will make it known." He reminded me of Naruto a little. He stared at me as I watched him gain more and more pride before he ran at me.
I saw from the side Ebisu nodded at the tiniest Aburame and I watched her get into that famous stance as I ducked from him, shifting fast I got away and stuck my hand out towards her.
"Stop, I will kill you." I was a little distracted as he ran at me again. "Sorry I mean I will kill your bug's, my chakra." I jumped back making the boy stop attacking me.
"It is true, her chakra is deadly." Iruka spoke up with pride in his voice making me look at him curious. Is he proud of me? A small flutter in my heart to hear something like that.
After a short moment about my chakra the three of us got into a small simple battle. Slowly we got more and more serious, I did notice the girls give me a much more free for all challenge when two are on me then both of them but I feel like they are not weak and would not be the worst to partner with.
They are a full year behind them so it makes sense.
We stood there in hot sun catching our breaths as the teachers stepped forward.
"Why did you go easy on them?" Iruka asked making the boy's eye's snap to me in shock, looking back at him and back at me he relaxed and rubbed his head. "You will do." Before he looked away in a huff.
I never used my water fists, my hits are weak without it but I did not want to hurt them.
The girl just stood there quietly. I like the Aburame, quiet, calm and creepily cool, I felt so excited when she nodded at me for the first time. It felt nice to be accepted like this.
"But I am the leader." The boy yelled.
After that we all went for food to talk and get to know each other.
We will spend now until the test training together.
I sat staring at the stars on my apartments roof, enjoying the premorning and coffee. The exams start today, it goes from test one to test two right away. I feel like reaching out to people before it starts but now it was around four in the morning and the only person I wanted to speak to was Kakashi.
I was ready, I grabbed everything I thought I needed.
I swung from the roof to my living room and filled my cup, the last coffee I will have for maybe a week or more. I was told the survival part tends to be five days and taking time to make coffee was a stupid mistake.
I stood in a long line with the boy who was slightly shorter then me and the cute Aburame that we just towered over. I checked out everyone else, it was a long line of different ninja's from many places, not even recognizing a couple of the symbols.
Sadly it was just so many children in both directions.
"Not having this for a few years really let's them pile up." Kamisu mumbled as he was doing the same. I just nodded, the chakra's were all around the same besides a few that were stronger and I quietly mumbled back.
"What is yours like?" The girl finally spoke staring at me blankly, I think.
"I don't know." For the first time I wondered what mine would look like if someone could see it, what does it look like?
We finally came to a desk, a man slid a small jar toward us. "Pick." We slowly reached out and pulled a stick from the jar.
"One." Aburame spoke.
"Two." Was Kamisu.
"Three." I smiled and we put them back.
"Go to your designated room." He spoke like he said that line a thousand times. We split and I walked into my room where I found Tenten, Kiba and Sakura all circling a table so I slowly walked over glancing at the rest of the strangers when my eye's landed on the strongest chakra in the room.
I did not linger once I looked so he would not notice me, he was from the land of waterfall. How is he a chunin?
I gave a quiet smile and hung around them as they chatted, the room slowly filling up with more.
Once the doors were shut I heard a small static noise bringing me home and startling me when a voice came from some speaker and it filled the room. "Welcome, I am the first Proctor Shikamaru Nara." Really? Cool.
"Three questions are worth, from the top down, 30 points, 40 points and 50 points, each person can only answer one of the three questions, the teams total points will determine if you pass, you can not exceed more then 100 points and we will average the scores of the teams that remain, under the average will be disqualified as well"
A large clock flashed lights of 30 minutes, guess that means it starts.
We all sat there quietly for a moment as I assume doing the same as me, reading the questions. They were hard but if I think about it I might get them right. I started to fill with worry that my 'stronger' ass might fail them.
People started to move and panic trying to reach their people. Tenten was pressing on the window some kid was pressed to the wall as voices filled the room slowly getting louder.
My eye's followed Sakura to the front of the room. I slid off the table and moved with the rest of ninja I knew to the blackboard.
She started to write down stuff, how to pass, how to get 100 and how if we don't get 100 we may not even make it out of here when Sakura sighed. "If Naruto were here the first round exam would be easy"
"Huh whys that?" Tenten asked.
"You just know he scores zero points" I smiled.
"Well I am pretty sure that even Naruto can solve the thirty point question" Kiba said.
"Nope, no way" She said back making me and a few others chuckle as I walked to the window and knocked lightly before I walked to the wall where one teammate would be.
Leaning on it I closed my eye's and focused I could lightly see only a couple chakra's and the only one I knew was Neji's, for some reason my sense was weak between the walls.
I wonder what they did to these rooms?
Tenten walked up beside me. "I can see Neji and I think Hinata." I said to her quietly. She looked at me, I assume thinking of a way to use me. People started to yell to there teammates trying to let them hear but they were all yelling making it impossible and made me want to cover my ears, that shit is just not working, shut up!
I was getting annoyed when Hinata walked to the wall, placing her hand on mine.
My smile grew large, I wonder if they are worse like mine? Kiba moved next to us and I told them to hold up a number as the eye's can see them. "Can he tell me?" Tenten softly asked.
"I don't know how to ask." Neji walked to the wall and then I watched as he punched it hard, three large bangs could be heard making the room dead silent. "There is his answer." I said to her.
People started to question the banging when there was one more. They looked at me confused. I was also lost when he did it again. "Neji is trying something but I think some bastard is trying to screw everyone up."
They did it again, I shook my head, walked slightly to the left and pressed my hand on the wall again. I heard Sakura make a noise and take her page to an open table, I glanced her way. Ino?
I watched her start to write feeling a little jealous.
My Aburame teammate got close making me smile, I shut my eye's and leaned on the wall as Neji and some random started to get close to him. I could see the chakra spike confusing me when a static noise came out making me look up. "No fighting, it is a written test, keep quiet and answer the question." I looked around the room confused on how they were watching us when I spotted a camera in the far Left corner, I stared at it lost.
They have camera's. Seriously? Why don't they use them?
"Who is fighting?" Kiba asked pulling me from my head.
"Neji." I spoke quietly facing the wall again making Tenten chuckle.
Hinata placed her hand on mine again. "Hold up a number." I said to them. "They can see you." When Neji pounded again.
"I will just take that three." She spoke, held up three fingers and turned away.
"Me too." Kiba spoke.
Some stranger came next to us and pressed himself to the wall and closed his eye's. He looked at me curious and closed them again, I ignored him as Kiba placed his hand on the wall holding up the number three.
Hinata then moved my teammate to me. I then watched as she hit the wall five times a little to light I almost did not hear but that made a few others walk over and start to bang from this side as a few others moved into view in the other room. I let them be and headed to a desk.
This girl is not dumb, that I learned spending time with her. She knows what she is doing, she is far smarter then me.
I just focused on the paper as more banging and yelling continued.
Beep.
"Time is up, now for the last question." I listened, if someone was on a mission and needed to be left behind. Who would it be and the answers must be the same? I stared at it wondering. Members whos name is the decoy will be eliminated from the exams. It would be me but I don't want to lose the exams.
We had three minutes.
So many desperate noises filled the room again as I stared.
No one should be left behind.
We stood together in the field happy we passed. Looking around most people passed, very few made a team mate stay behind and doing so failed them. I was glad to be on a team that would not leave me behind. I was happy to be with them.
Looking around so many had passed.
I saw that beautiful blonde girl take to the stage, Tamari, everyone got quiet as she was getting ready to speak. "Now there is too many that passed so we have to narrow them down some more, you have three day's to run to the land of wind and only the ones who get there first will be able to do the second exam. Also no fighting on the journey you can fight to your hearts content in the second part of the exam, that is all." We all stood awkwardly there when I saw people start to run.
I grabbed the hands of my team and pulled them, they got speed and we started to run out of the leaf village surrounded by many people.
"We need to move fast" I was almost dragging them. I felt bad and let go slowing down as a team passed us. Kamisu gave me a determined look and we headed out the village at a faster pace, I saw they pushed themselves making me smile.
"I don't know the way." Aburame spoke.
I Smiled. "I strangely do."
Running all day was tough, I would watch them, push them when they could move and rested when they needed it. We sat around at the base of a large tree eating some of my non cooked food. I could smell fire and we were surrounded by other teams.
We snuggled into our bags for a short sleep. No one would attack us but to be safe we did switch watch.
Two more days of this.
This will push us well.
I was both happy and annoyed when we passed into the sand pit that is the land of wind. There was one team ahead of us not far, along with a team behind us almost out of my sensory range. I pushed them harder as we caught up with the team in front of us and slowly started to pass, they yelled at us to leave them alone and it turned into a different kind of race.
We came to a large sand building with many ninja's in the area, I spotted the teams of the leaf I know, they got here before us but we seemed to make it on time. "We made it." Lee yelled as he ran to us making me smile as he grabbed me a hug making me hug back, I have not hugged this kid in a while.
It was nice to finally get a real break, I sat down on the stupid sand, the fear of not being fast enough left me and I just relaxed.
About five more teams came before it stopped, including a new team of genin I never met from the leaf but my team knew them. We embraced them as well as they hung around us, I felt so old as I looked around.
Sighing I just leaned back digging my hands into the soft sand as we waited.
I did spot a blue haired girl run through the crowd before she vanished making me curious as I looked around in that direction but all I saw was strange teams and so many chakra's when Lee pulled my attention back, he is so bright and hopeful.
After around ten more minutes Tamari came out onto a tall stage with a few others surrounding her.
"This is a place called the demon dessert where you will do part two, there is room for you and food, please do not leave the building and it will start tomorrow, welcome."
I was stuffing food in my mouth like I would never eat again, it was fresh, cooked and so freaking good. I just scanned the people as I ate, the chakra's were almost level but some seemed stronger but so did most leaf next to me, Neji was very strong. I don't see him much but damn he must be good. I also noticed most groups that made it were from the sand village.
My eye's would land on this strong Sand village man around my age. There was something attractive about him but also something off, then again most ninja's have something 'off'.
I could feel the glare of the hidden grass, at us, at others. I pretended I never noticed and just filled up wishing for coffee. I also could use a real sleep as I am sure everyone here does. I yawned, I may go in early.
"I need a bathroom." I yawned again at Tenten beside me and she nodded and I stood up.
The empty hallways were creepy as I could hear the loud sound of wind pressing on the windows, peering out I could barely see anything passed the rain of sand. I finally found a large bathroom with stall doors that barely blocked and communal showers. I doubt anyone will be showering here before the exams, we are all going to stink when this is over.
I sniffed my shirt, I already do.
Washing my hands were awkward as the cold water had no pressure, I wiped them on my shorts as I left.
I heard sounds of someone yelling making me turn down the right hallway as it curved.
The biggest smile crossed my face looking over at two men holding a door shut. With so many chakra's I never saw her. Fu from the waterfall village with two men who are very strong. She was banging on a bedroom door as they tried to hard to keep her in.
They did not see me as I leaned on the wall and just watched. "But I need to get out." She yelled.
"Just stay in there and listen for once." I walked forward when they noticed me, I was almost in front of them looking at me like 'please leave us alone'.
"I need to make 100 friends." She yelled. They looked at me like I was a threat I pretended again I never noticed, looking me over like they summed me up in one glance.
"What about seeing just one?" I spoke loudly making the banging stop, they looked at me shocked as it went quiet.
"Is that. Is that my best friend?" She yelled louder as she spoke but it made my heart drop for this lonely girl and the village that treats her like crap. Just like Naruto. The men both stood up straight seemingly knowing who I was, they looked me over again.
They know me?
"It is Ava?" I yelled back sliding a hand in my shallow pocket as they stepped back to let her free. She slowly peered out the door before she screamed and jumped on me making me step back and hold her up. In one swift move she had my hand and dragged me down the hallway at such a fast pace. This kid is so damn light, her weight and her feet.
I heard them yell but I just followed her speed as we ran through the halls. "Do you want to have a bath together?" She asked me as we ran, making me chuckle unsure how to answer that without insulting her, because that was a big no. "We can find more friends and it will be great!"
"Well it is cool your at the chunin exams." She yelled 'yes' as I tried to change the subject. "I am sure you will be one." We then ran down another path heading around the building in a circle.
"I don't care about that, I am here to make friends." She smiled at me as we passed over the café I stared at the ground shocked as everyone was fighting. I almost stopped in confusion when she wipped around a corner making me almost fly behind her and slide on my feet before she tossed me into a dark room and we hide behind the door.
"Shh!" I peered around and saw some backpacks, we are in someone else's room. I could just steal this shit with ease huh? I paused thinking about all the shit people left behind as I grabbed my scroll in my hand. Everything I own is on me.
The men then ran by as she peeked out after them, they are not trackers that is for sure.
She then jumped around and hugged me again "We can now do whatever we want." She jumped around "What do you want to do?" She stared at me with big eye's.
Honestly, I just wanted to sleep but I just shrugged with a smile.
"We could break out and explore the sand, I have never been here before."
"Is that not off limits?" I noticed before I even said that she did not care, she does not care about the rules. I do but I had a thought, I walked over to the window and opened it into the dark night and endless sand. "Let's go to the roof." I smiled at her. She made a small noise as we jumped out the window moving to the top of the building.
Technically, is it still the building.
We climbed a large pole reminding me of the lookout on a ship, sand was flying around making my eye's sting, I never knew how loud sand could be as we sat on the ledge. It was hard to see in any direction.
"What is that?" She pointed behind us, I turned and looked as some light came from far off.
"I think that is where the teachers are staying, I heard they were nearby but not with us." I spoke to her, she just kicked her feet with a happy sigh.
"Have you been here before?" She asked and I nodded. "I never get to leave the village, I am so excited to be here." She just continued to kick her feet. "But I do not like the sand." She sighed as she swatted some out of the air like they were bugs but it did not help, I just laughed in agreement. "But it is new and that is all that matter's."
She is so sweet, she is Naruto, in an androgynous way. In truth I am unsure if she even a female like I think she is but that does not really matter. She is cool either way.
"What do friends do?" She looked at me sadly.
I smiled and shrugged "This." I spoke back making her smile. "They just hang out." She leaned into me with a smile.
She sighed happily for a moment.
"What is your favorite cheese?" She stared at me interested.
"I like cheddar?"
"Do you like bread?" She looked so serious, I nodded confused. "How about, what you do every morning?"
"I, drink coffee?" I almost laughed out loud.
"I was told they are good friendship openings to ask." I nodded back understanding.
I just smiled making me feel even worse for wanting to just go to bed. "Ya, not bad questions." I just looked at the sky, sad I could not see clouds or stars.
"Okay." She jumped up "Something else now." She clapped her hands. "What can we do?" She looked around the dark air making me smile, girl has like ADHD or something.
"How about I introduce you to the other leaf members I know." I slowly stood up making her scream with excitement and we jumped down onto the roof running to the side where we could see the light.
We headed towards the window we came from when I heard a noise on the air making me boost my ears and stop. She held her arms behind her back leaning forward. "You hear it too? It is this way." And she took off running.
I jumped from the roof into the spiral sands landing near a few people, the smell of blood on the air as Sakura and Choji were being squished by the claws of the largest scorpion I have ever seen. I was stunned for a second fearful of this creature.
Fu came flying out the sand storm landing on the back of it with a small kunai, I felt her chakra flash from her hands into the beast and watched even more stunned as it fell to the ground lifeless. She slid off of it as it the two got free of the now dead claws.
"That was amazing." She yelled at me running right for me as the teachers came from nowhere and started to yell at everyone out here. A few kids started to filter inside knowing this was out of bounds as she pulled on my hand but I held my ground as I watched Sakura being healed by some sand villager. knowing she was okay I turned back to Fu.
"Come on, we need to go make friends." She started to pull me to groups of people walking away. Kure gave me a look screaming get inside, she was my age but I felt almost like I was being scolded by an adult.
Choji was screaming about food.
I just wanted to sleep.
I looked from my hand to this small girl, I can't leave her yet.
"Where are you all going?" She sounded sad. "My name is Fu, from the waterfall village, let's hang out." She said to everyone as they walked inside letting me go, she moved from person to person so fast like a fluttering bug but no one cared.
"Fu!" She stopped moving looking at the door where the two, I assume fake chunin came running at us. They looked done and defeated. I am so tired as she tried to avoid them and I stopped her.
"How about we play card's with your team?" I glanced at them as they looked at me with a little hope. "I am sure I know many games you never played before." She looked sad and said she needed more friends. "I think everyone is going to bed." I spoke as now the chakra was sparse and spread around the second and third floor. She paused and dropped her head sadly.
I taught them Go fish, it was simple and easy. Spending time with these strong men they seemed almost nervous about me. I played for as long as I could before I had to go to bed. She promised to look out for me before I left but I said it back, even if they don't need it.
I flopped onto the bed with my passed out team around our room, so glad to lie down, the bed felt like feathers as I was so tired.
I thought I slept deep but the freaking boy would not get up. Aburame covered him in bugs making him jump around like Kuro and scream. After that startling moment I laughed finding out it was a common thing she does.
We only have a short time for breakfast before it starts.
"This is a three day test." I was startled as I was told five. "You will need to get both scrolls." Temari showed us. "Heaven and earth and be at the tower in the middle of the desert in three day's." People whispered to each other as we just listened.
"You will need to fill out a form that if you die we are not to blame." She sounded threatening there and a little cocky, reminding me a little of Anko making me feel at home. "You will be secretly given a scroll and sent to a gate, they surround the area, come get a form."
We were handed a earth scroll, I slid it into mine before we took the long walk around the arena to our designated number. We sat down and relaxed for the last time as we waited.
"The three day's is going to be long and brutal to make it to the middle with both." Aburame spoke making me nod.
"Should we head straight to the tower and ambush?" She asked looking at me.
I did not know, I looked at the bright eye's of the boy and creepy glasses as they stared at me, unsure what to do.
Fuck.
He looked at her. "There may be many doing that."
She nodded. "Because it is smart." They stared at me again.
I felt so dumb. Think. I looked at the gate trying to have any Idea.
"Do we need to find water?" She asked me.
That I had an answer for.
"No, I have plenty, along with some wood if needed and a lot of non cooked food, I gathered with the thought of five day's, so we should be good."
"I think we should just hunt down some groups." He spoke looking at her. "We have her." He looked at me. "You can hunt down the weaker ones right?" I nodded.
"The ones coming to the tower will have both scrolls." She had a point.
"Or they are like us, and have one in hope and by then many teams are the strong ones, we need to hunt down a weak one."
They looked at me, I just shrugged. "Well you are a great leader." He spoke at me sarcastically.
"I thought you wanted to lead." I smirked at him he just stared at me. "Ya I know." I sighed. "I think you both have good points."
"You are the middle, pick one." He said to me.
"Honestly, I think we would do good finding a weaker group with the scroll then ambushing random people."
We decided on that.
The gates opened and we took off running a little to the east hoping to cross a team. The sand area was clear, the sun was strong and out but what I found cool was even if it was plains in all directions the sun turned it into a mirage making it impossible to see anyone.
It was not long until we came across a team, we slowed down and moved carefully, they seemed to be running straight to the middle not noticing us. The chakra was normal, not weak but not strong. We got as close as we could without being noticed as I listened in.
"We need to find a heaven, fast." I stopped moving.
"They have earth." I sighed and headed again south west to the next group as they followed, that team never even knew we were nearby.
It was a long run when we found another. Coming in close I could feel that they were pretty strong without even seeing who or where they were from. We slowed down and headed in the opposite direction.
It took almost an hour when we found another team, we got in close when they stopped moving, making us fall flat into the dirt. I closed my eye's and listened as well as I could, this time I think they noticed someone may be around.
Kamisu almost sat up and I smashed his head into the drift of sand making him glare at me. I waited but they did not mention a scroll or much of anything. He begged me with his eye's to attack them. I looked at her and she nodded back.
I could feel that team had there backs to each other, they know there is something in the air so we wont be able to ambush well.
I pulled water onto my fists. We got ready, I watched her bugs fly along the ground as they stayed hidden by the slight hill we were behind disappearing into the air.
I slowly took off my weights, got in position and ready. Going to give it my all from the start. After a second and a nod to them I shoved chakra into my feet and charged in landing in-between the backs of them.
Sliding my water fists as I moved in a circle cutting into the back of the small brown haired boy as the gray haired one spun fast enough to block my hand with a kunai before I could hit him as the small female dove away falling forward into the sand.
A large cry from the one I cut as bugs covered the fallen female making her scream out.
Kamisu was tossing his jutsu at the brown haired one who tried to block as they embedded into his arms so I turned and kicked out the legs of the gray haired kid. I ducked low a few of my guys flowers blew up between them. So loud it made my boosted ears buzz but the small explosion did hurt them slightly as the one I was attacking fell over and I moved fast again kicking him in the side as he fell sideways catching himself on his feet in a slid like a cat.
The brown haired tossed shuriken back blocking Kami's weapon and tossed a smoke bomb on the girl covered in bugs that was screaming making the bugs disperse from her. I slammed my foot in the chest of the man I was fighting making him slide backwards as he tired to block me with his arms.
I spun and ran at the girl getting up, the bugs had drained her quiet a bit, I slid into the smoke running up I punched her in the face with my water and heard her scream as the one who tossed the bomb came running in, I grabbed her in my whip and tossed her at him knocking them both down.
The gray haired one started to mold his chakra and all at once they were focused on me. I did not need to see him as I mind fucked the gray haired one to pause whatever he was doing ran at the brown haired getting up, I jabbed my fist into the brown haired boys chest cutting him again with my water.
He glared and came at me as I dodged him when I heard a noise letting me know, I jumped backwards as Kami tossed many weapons, the smell hitting my nose.
I ran back to girl who was on all fours trying to get up like a drunk person and kicked her in her side, she went rolling away not getting up. I moved and attacked the brown haired boy. He tried to hard to dodge me but I was getting some small cuts in when the gray haired was back in the game.
He was suddenly between me and his male teammate glaring at me with so much hate. He was faster then his friend as he was blocking my fists in a smart way as he tried to also get a hit on me. He was getting more and more serious by his eye's, the girl was getting on her feet when he yelled out the word.
"Next."
They then disappeared and were suddenly a few feet away in a stance together. Kami tossed so many things at them as the gray haired boy molded chakra.
A large ice wall came out of the hot sand blocking our view and weapons, I jumped back to where my team stood ready. The bottom of the wall was lightly dripping into the sand at the bottom knowing it wont last long in this hot air.
Kami ran in, throwing himself into the large wall with a scream, I heard Aburame sigh but it cracked a little as it lightly melted making me chuckle. The wall was not going to last long out here.
I felt a small genjutsu float around my head and my teams, I just easily removed it curious what it was but now was not the time. Then a group of clones came from behind us, I could feel the chakra difference in some as I stared at them.
Kami yelled and charged in, I watched as he just moved through the lighter chakra like they were ghosts but the thicker could fight. So they made a wall for protection, a genjutsu was to be with this clone shit as a big move?
I tossed Kunai at the fighters and turned back to them.
The gray haired boy jumped on top of the ice looking proud but I watched his face drop as we all just looked up at him bored. He glared and did some signs and the wall started to melt into a large wave, weaker then mine as it poored towards us.
He dropped down with it as I ran over the water towards him. I froze around his feet letting him get stuck as I thrusted my water fist into his chest. He screamed being stuck and fell onto his back but then the other two were between him to protect him so I backed off for a second.
I gave a small smile at the way they wanted to protect there team mate in their eye's. My heart warmed. Both the boy's were bleeding, not the worst and if they dealt with it right now they could stop it but the more it took for them to treat it the worse it would get and that made me stand up straight a little worried.
I saw a shocked look on the faces as my team stood behind me all confused.
They are just kids.
"I." I said sadly. "Please treat your wounds."
Shocking them more. "We are mid battle!" Kami yelled but my female teammate placed her hand on my arm saying she understands.
"The longer you wait the worse it will get." I spoke up serious. The girl looked them over fear in her eye's and a little blood dripping from her forehead but the boy's glared wanting to still fight. I sighed and rubbed my hair. "Do you even have the heaven scroll?"
I saw the flash in there eye's. They do.
"She." The female spoke as she looked at all the blood.
"We are taking their scroll, I will fight until the end, we are ninja's." The gray one yelled. That made the other two get serious and get ready to attack us.
They decided.
I want to make this fast and not hurt them to much more.
I felt my team get serious as I took to a stance. I turned my whip into a sword holding it out to my side as I regulated the water, they looked a little worried. I ran into the front man, the gray one. I moved to slash out as bugs blocked the way to him and went after the brown one and Kami tried to split the girl away from them.
He blocked my sword with a large dagger smirking at me, I just loosened it back into a whip and it wrapped around it as I threw it away. I ran in slammed a foot in his chest as he fell I flipped backwards knocking my feet into his chin as he fell back.
Landing on my feet I pulled out wire and tied him up as he dropped to the ground unable to move.
I saw a spark in the sky and the chakra of the last male flashed. I moved to Aburame and grabbed Kami into my whip and pulled him to me as I made a shield, larger senbon started to rain from the sky.
The boy then tossed many from where he stood, looking like he had an opening and he did. The female ran to the tied up guy.
I could not move to block from that angle. I felt her do it and it costed a bit of chakra but a large beetle pooped out of the sand in front of us blocking that wave from us.
She was unwrapping him but I could not move just yet.
I could smell it so strong making me close my nose and smile at my teammates. Kami had tossed so many of the disorient at the girl and guy. It took a second but she started to look at the wire like she was confused and it was the hardest puzzle she ever faced as the rain stopped.
I moved fast and attacked the the last standing, the bugs flew around me as they went after him. I slid down and kicked his leg out as the bugs crawled over his arms. I moved and kicked him into the air. Jumping and grabbing him in my whip I swung him at his female teammate again.
Slamming him into her with speed knocking them both down.
We did that without cutting them more as I tied up the boy and they tied up the girl.
They were struggling as we searched there gear and we found the scroll.
I slid them together and tossed a small sharp kunai not far. If they just roll a little they can grab it and free themselves and we ran off hopefully toward the tower.
"First fight we got it." He cheered.
"Shh." She said to him. "People are everywhere."
One more glance at them again as one was rolling and then we were out of sight.
