*Reka's pov*

It's been a month now. Dosu was killed, and Shino had gotten seriously injured so now I'm fighting Kankuro. (Roll with it). Everyone is here, except for Sasuke. He's late. I the matches had begun and I was watching intensely. Naruto was fighting Neji first.

"Two puppeteers going against each other." Kankuro says as he approaches me.

"Correction, you are a puppeteer still in training, I am almost a master." I state.

"How are you almost a master?" He asks glaring slightly.

"Can you use more then one puppet, hmmm? Can you control others with chakra threads? Can you capture someone else's puppet with you chakra threads?" I question with an evil glint.

"No." He says glaring even more.

"Don't worry. I made a special puppet for this exam, un. It doesn't hold poison so you won't die if you're hit." I shrug. I watch as Naruto defeats Neji. I was impressed because Neji cut off Naruto's chakra. Next up was Kankuro and myself. We both jumped over the railing with puppets on our back.

"Ready?" The protector asks. We both nod, hands going up pulling our puppets out.

"Wait!" Lord Third called out landing beside us. I stood straight and bowed. "Any poison?"

"No sir. This is a special puppet for the exam only, un." I reply. He nods.

"Continue." He jumps away.

"Ready?" We nod again and pull out puppets out. "Begin!" The protector jumps away. I watch Kankuro closely, more specifically his hands. He twitched his fingers slightly causing his puppet to come at me. My fingers began to twitch as well. Our puppets clashed, while he was distracted by the puppets fighting I started to preform one handed hand signs.

-Everyone's thoughts-
What?!!! One handed hand signs?!! That's impossible! No freaking way!

-back to the fight-
I was making one handed signs, tiger->horse->dragon. "Earth Style; Earth Dragon Bomb!" I exclaimed.

"What!?" Kankuro yelled dodging the dragon. "You didn't say anything about using ninjutsu." He says glaring even more.

"Why would I need to tell you? This is a battle, anything could happen at any given time, un. Like you just stepped on my trap dodging the dragon." I say simply.

"What?!" He yells again.

"I wouldn't move if I were you. Unless you wanna get blown up." I grin sadistically. "Give up, un." I say seriously.

"No!" He yells. He twitches his fingers again. His puppet tries to attack me, but I dodge. I dropped my puppet.

"Fine." I state I begin to make hand signs again. Serpent->ram->monkey->boar->horse->tiger. I heard a lot of gasps and muttering that I shouldn't know this jutsu yet. "Fire style; Fire Ball." I say as I breath fire out my mouth. Effectively hitting his puppet and destroying it.

"How the?!" He yells enraged.

"You're letting anger control you, un. If I was actually trying you'd be dead right now. In a battle you throw your emotions away. That's the only way you'll survive." I say monotoned. "I could go on forever, you're still trapped. But I'm bored so...." I make my favorite hand sign, but before I can say my favorite word the protector stops the fight.

"Deactivate the explosive." Lord Third states loudly.

"As you wish Lord Third." I bow and walk over to Kankuro. "When I tell you to, move, okay?" He nods in understanding. I dig slightly under his foot and grab my hair pin. I deactivate the trigger. "Move." I state. He moves quickly and I grab the bomb.

"When exactly did you put that there?" The protector asked.

"When I jumped down, un." I state as I walk out of the arena. I throw the bomb up and make my hand sign. "Katsu!" I walked back in and watched Temari and Shikamaru's fight. Half way through I noticed Shikamaru slowing down, running out of chakra.

"I give up." Shikamaru says throwing his hand up. Naruto threw a fit but I applaud him.

"Good job Shika, yah." I say smiling at him. He blushes slightly.

"Thanks Mire." Shikamaru says back.

"Where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked. He was going to be late for his match. "Mire-chan have you seen him? You two are always together." Sakura asks and states. Naruto looks at me waiting for me to say something.

"No, I haven't seen Duck Ass. We're not speaking at this time, un." I say as my arm wraps around me hugging my side where he hit.

"Why?" She asks semi concerned but secretly happy.

"It doesn't matter Sakura, un. The only people who need to know already know." I state seriously. Sasuke had arrived and his match began. I hadn't been paying any attention until I heard the sound of the Chidori. I flinched noticeably and started to panic. Naruto noticed this.

"Shh, Mire-chan. It's okay. I won't let him touch you again, believe it." Naruto whispered in my ear hugging me. I nodded slowly. The match had ended so it was now Temari and I. I jumped down to avoid seeing Sasuke. I landed easily.

"Ready?" The protector asked. We both nod. I analyze Temari, she's a wind user, she uses a large fan, so I have to counter her attacks with fire. Though Fire isn't my best ninjutsu. I'm ultimately limited against her. Maybe I can use an earth jutsu to distract her. I tightened my stance as the protector jumped away.

"I hope we can be friends after this." Temari says smiling at me.

"Of course, un." I reply. "But for now we're enemies." I tighten my stance as she shows the first moon on her fan. She spins and the air slices around me. Hitting me. I make a hand sign and put an ice layer around me to protect me. As the wind died down I started to do hand signs. "Fire style; Fire ball." I say as I yet again create another fire ball.

"Two fires balls in such a short time frame? Won't that exhaust you?" She asks grinning. I grin sadistically.

"If you haven't trained with a Uchiha, yes. But I've got something else up my sleeve right now, un." I grin even more. I preform extremely fast hand signs, paper begins to whirl around us. "Paper style; paper whirlwind!" I exclaim. It hits her hard, but she opens her fan all the way, sending the paper away. I look to where I see Orochimaru standing. He gives me a look and I nod. "I forfeit." I say loudly.

"Temari wins by default." The protector says. I jump to where Mekuto and Rinkato are.

"Everything's ready when you are." Mekuto states.

"Good. Is everyone ready to leave when we're given the chance?" I ask, they nod. I nod back and wait for my cue. Naruto is up against Gaara. Then I feel it, a genjutsu starting. I quickly release it as does Mekuto and Rinkato. We take off out the doors before we can be spotted. We ran fast to my house as the village was under attack.

"He's trying to destroy the village." Rinkato says shocked.

"I see that, un. We'll take out as many as we can without being spotted by any allies. We have to get out of Konoha in order to accomplish our mission." I say seriously. We enter my house in record time. "Time to go, grab everything you can, un." I order.

"Right!" Rin and Shisui say gathering things and tossing me some stuff. I go and grab my studio.

"Take out as many enemy nin without being seen by an allies of Konoha, un. You two aren't even supposed to be alive so you have to be extra careful." I say seriously.

"Coast is clear, let's go." Mekuto says. We all nod and run like crazy. We take down a lot of enemy along the way. We get to the gates and run for a few minutes before stopping. We ran into the middle of a battle. Naruto and Gaara. Naruto protecting Sakura and Sasuke. We watch it play out, we listen as they speak to each other. Resulting in the end of the fight.

"Let's go before they see us." Shisui says gently putting a hand on my arm.

"Alright, yah." I reply. We jump away quickly.
