Chapter Four: I don't like you... maybe

"Hmph I don't care it's not like I'm not strong." I say loud enough so my teammates could hear me.

Sasuke was cocking a brow as he looked at me. "Naruto we have to do this as a team." Sakura sighed as she crossed her arms.

"Fine just as long as Sasuke doesn't get in the way." I mutter closing my eyes but peeking to see his facial expression.

"Don't worry dobe I won't get in the way, it's always the other way around." He replied in almost a mocking tone.

I growled, that jerk not only does he steal the spotlight all the time but he is always teasing me, especially when no one else is looking.

There are times when I'm cool with him and we hang out or train together but other times he's a cocky Pervy Uchiha who does even the littlest things to embarrass me or make me blush.

It a constant battle with him, and if he wasn't as good looking then I'd kick him to the side.

Also he makes small remarks all the time complimenting me and getting too close saying 'Naruto are you blushing?' Or 'You look better when you are all flustered like that.' It's not that it angers me but it's hard to be all concentrated on my ninjutsu or our missions when he distracts me like that.

I swear ever since the our A ranked mission he's been getting real cocky.

"Well we got our mission so let's set out." Kakashi sighed as he held his book in hand. We all nodded and proceeded off.

All these boring D ranked missions were all we had, they're so annoying why don't people get off their lazy asses and do these stupid chores?!

"First we weed the garden, then clean the river and walk the dogs from the shelter." Kakashi reminded us.

"Piece of cake." I stated as I placed my hands behind my head as we walked.

Now I know I'm not the brightest ninja but why am I so clumsy?!

While weeding the garden I ended up pulling all the herbs, the lady beat me black and blue.

On our second mission while I was picking up trash from the river bank I slipped on this moldy rock and was seconds close to falling straight down a waterfall but just as I was about to plunge into an early grave someone grabbed my ankle and it was none other than the Pervy Uchiha!

Now I know the last one was kind of my fault, while at the animal shelter everyone picked out a dog to walk, Sakura chose a nice small chihuahua, Sasuke choose a slightly larger dog. Now I didn't want to be like them, I wanted a challenge and I found it. There was a large adorable dog in the shelter about my height and I just had to walk him.

With this one I could prove I could do anything Sasuke could but better and more challenging. What I didn't know was how strong this dog was.

No matter how much I pulled or yanked I couldn't get him to budge. He was like a solid rock when I tried to move him. But that wasn't the issue, the issue was that I couldn't move him but he could move me. No matter how hard I resisted I couldn't get him to stop going where he wanted to go.

Instead the dog dragged me around wherever he wanted to go. I went through hell and back by the time we finished our mission.

"Why aren't you more careful Naruto." Sakura scolded me as I used her for support to help me walk.

"I try ya know." I groan before glancing at Sasuke who smirked at me. "Well it was Sasuke's fault." I grumbled using him as scapegoat. "Don't bring Sasuke kun in this, this was all your doing he didn't tell you to pick the largest dog." Sakura stated as she got on to me.

Kakashi sensei just sighed before speaking up. "I'm going to report the missions, you three have the rest of the day off." He sighed as he vanishing leaving a small smoke cloud.

"As much as I'd like to stay I have training." Sasuke stated leaving without looking back.

I glanced at Sakura. "Well I guess it's just you and me ya know." I said as we walked, I felt a lot better now, well at least from the dragging the dog gave me.

"Well I guess you're right we could find something to do." Sakura sighed. There was a small scratching noise and I turned around, I steadied myself to the ground regaining my own balance. I was no longer leaning on Sakura.

"Uh yeah." She looked back and we both noticed the camouflage held wrong by the fence. "Who's there?!" I confronted poking the camouflage sheet. "Wow boss, no wonder you're my rival." I heard a familiar voice, konohamaru!

(I don't remember if I've presented him but you must've watched the anime, read manga, so just go with it.)

"It is I Moegi the cutest kunoichi in the academy!"

"I'm Udon and I like algebra."

"And me Konohamaru future Hokage!"

"And we're the Konohamaru gang!" The three of them called out coughing because of how much gunpowder they used.

"Konohamaru!" I called out smiling widely I hadn't seen him in a long time.

"Hey boss!" He smiled and I noticed the goggles. "What's with the goggles?" I asked and he looked at his teammates then at me.

"We are copying your old style boss." He smiled and I nodded.

"So what brings you here?" I asked as I stood back placing my arms behind my head and looking at them.

"We wanted to know if you wanted to play ninja with us, boss?" Konohamaru smiled widely and Sakura glanced at me cocking a brow.

"A ninja playing ninja? Seriously Naruto?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Wha- no and I can't I have to train." I say nervously I already had enough hits to my ego today I didn't need any more.

"Awe c'mon boss you promised." Konohamaru groaned and then glanced at Sakura?

"Is this your girlfriend boss?" He asked and I looked horror struck turning to Sakura and back to him. "Well." I say about to explain that I was a girl and not lesbian.

"Don't you dare say yes!" Sakura snapped hitting me my entire body clashing against the fence.

I could feel my fingers twitch slightly.

Obviously I hadn't planned to say yes but my body hurt too much for me to complain. "What did you do to our boss you ugly wench!" Konohamaru yelled at her making it worse. I could see Sakura becoming angrier as she punched him as well.

"You okay Konohamaru?" I asked as I looked over at him to see where Sakura had hit him, he meekly nodded. "Boss is she even human? With such a large forehead she could she even be human?!" he groaned in pain. I could feel her dark aurora behind me. "Run for it!" I yelled not even daring to even glance back both of us made a run for it. I might be a girl but I don't understand why she gets so angry!

We both were trying to out run her. Konohamaru had had a head start. We were turning the corner and I slow down slightly to glance back and I saw death..... And it had Sakura's face on it.

"Ow!" I heard Konohamaru groan and manage to stop in time. "Hey little punk who do you think you are running into me." The Ninja guy hissed as he picked Konohamaru up by the collar. "Hey let go of me!" Konohamaru struggled as he tried to wiggle himself free.

"How about I teach you a lesson punk." The guy smirked, he had face painting and a weird looking hat, I couldn't help but get upset. "Let him go." I hiss as I rush over to him ready to attack but something pulled my leg making me fall back and hit the ground. I held back any sign of pain and got up quickly.

"What are you going to do about it? You can't even stand on your own two feet." The guy smirked as he looked down at me I hissed and frowned but just before he could do anything  a small pebble hit his hand making him let go of Konohamaru. "Why don't pick on someone your size." Sasuke said harshly from a tree, my face flushed and I frowned. Why does he have to try and help, I had everything under control dammit. "Would you look at that another punk and a cocky one for that." the guy with the weird face painting and hat smirked. "Kankuro let's go we have a mission." The girl behind him with her hair pony tails stated. "Give me a second Temari this won't take long." The guy smirked as he brought out the mummy looking thing from his back.

"You're going to use crow already?" Temari asked shocked as she looked at us kind of worried. "Kankuro, you're disgracing our village." A guy with red hair grumbled as he was hanging upside down on the other side of Sasuke. When did he get there?! I didn't even feel his presence!

Kankuro seemed to go extremely nervous. "I'm sorry Garra I didn't mean, uh I was just, they started it so I just." He stammered out, what's with the sudden change of attitude? The red head was obviously younger than him so why didn't he treat him the same way he treated us? But yet again with the aura this guy was giving off it was no wonder he was afraid.

"Shut up, or I'll kill you." The way the red head spoke was so full of venom and hateful. he gracefully used his sand to transport himself in front of us. "I apologize for his actions." His voice was rough and his eyes seemed cold. "We will be going now." He stated and just as they were about to leave sakura spoke up.

"Wait you three aren't leaf shinobi, judging by your headband you are from the land of wind and although our villages have an alliance you aren't permitted inside our village without a special permission so state your purpose." She stated and that's when I realized the different headband and symbol.

"Do you live under a rock? We are here for the annual Chunin exams, and we do have a permit." Temari stated holding up an official card.

"Chunin exam? What that?" I asked unknowingly. Sakura sighed slightly shaking her head and looking depressed for a moment.

"Naruto-nii the Chunin exam is an exam genin take to move up ranks." Konohamaru stated and I smiled widely, I want to be a chunin.

"You what's your name." Sasuke called out to the red head, the girl thought the he was talking to her and she blushed as she pointed to herself and asked "Me?" but Sasuke shook his head. "No the red head." Sasuke stated. "I was meaning to ask your name as well." The red head replied in a raspy voice. "Uchiha... Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke stated his name, gosh why does he have the cool guy act?

"Garra, Garra of the sand." The red head stated. Why haven't they asked for my name?! "Don't you want to know my name?" I asked slightly angry. "No."Garra stated not even sparing the time to glance at me. I got depressed and konohamaru looked at me. "Naruto-nii why aren't you cool like that?" He asked and I got even more depressed.

I understand not wanting Sakura's name since she isn't a strong fighter but I'm strong with probably tons of potential and maybe 100x better than Sasuke so how could you not want to get my name?

I watched as the three sand shinobi left, that Garra although I hate to admit it but he looked quite strong and like a good rival, although something seemed ominous about him.

"Did you see that?" I asked crossing my arms, Sasuke landed beside me.

"See what?" Sakura asked "The aura that guy Garra gave off, especially when he threaten to kill." I say as the three sand ninja were out of sight.

"Something's not right with him." Sasuke added, Sakura on the other hand looked confused as fuck. "Huh?" She turned to us.

"That red haired guy, I want to fight him sometime." I say smiling widely just thinking about the challenge.

"Hmph." Sasuke grumbled crossing his arms.

"Well I wouldn't want to fight him."Sakura stated "Well in heading home, I'm to tired to train." She said and began walking away.

"What are you going to do Naruto-nii?" Konohamaru asked me. "I'm going to train but first I'm going to get something to eat." I say placing my hand over my rumbling stomach.

"Well I guess we'll let you train, c'mon Moegi, Udon." Konohamaru stated as the three left.

"How come you showed up?" I asked glancing at Sasuke. He smirked "Saw a damsel in distress, of course I was gunna jump in." He smirked pinching my cheek.

"I was no damsel in distress." I snap as he pinched my cheek. "I'm a strong ninja who needs no protection from anyone, dattebayo!" I called out in annoyance slightly whining in pain from his actions.

Sasuke chuckled. "How about I treat you to dinner and we go train you dobe." He let go of my cheek and I gently rubbed it.

"Alright what are you treating me too?" I asked pouting slightly as I rubbed my aching cheek.

"Definitely not ramen today, let's go to the sushi shop." He chuckled.

"Bah! alright but only cause you're paying." I mumble as I followed behind him. We walked side by side.

"Have you even been to the Sushi restaurant that opened last month? Or have you eaten only ramen?" Sasuke asked as he looked at me.

"Obviously, I ate only ramen, I've never  go to any other store! And besides if i wanted to eat sushi I'd make it homemade! I'm a good cook ya know, believe it." I say smiling widely at him.

"You cook? I would like to try your cooking sometime dobe." He replied and I smiled widely.

"Really? If you want you can come over after our mission tomorrow and I can cook you something." I say thinking o the various different dishes I could make. "Why tomorrow, we could go today." Sasuke stated shrugging and looking away.

"Huh. Well I guess, I just have to buy the ingredients." I say placing my finger on my bottom lip thinking of all the things we'd need and what I had in my fridge. "I'm pretty sure I have a lot of snacks to accompany our food and I have soy sauce and wasabi too." I say smiling.

"Let's go buy the ingredients and I'll make us something." I add as I look up at him, he simply nods. "Alright I pay the ingredients." He stated.

"Well I certainly wasn't planning on paying anyway." I laughed as we walked down the crowded street.

I glanced over and saw Ino working at her parents flower shop. I hope she doesn't stop us, she would only stall us and I wouldn't get to go home and cook sooner meaning I'd be hungrier for much longer.

"What are you looking at?" Sasuke asked as he noticed me looking at the flower shop.

"Huh,nothing just noticed Ino working that's all." I shrugged as we past the store without being stopped.

"Oh. Well what kind of sushi are you planning to make?" Sasuke asked.

"Hinata taught me how to make all kinds, so I guess I'll make a variety of them and maybe some rice balls as well." I say smiling.

"Hinata taught you?" He asked cocking a brow and I nodded. "We're best friends ya know. Even in the academy we were always together." I say looking up at him.

"I never really noticed, but you were also with Kiba and them I do remember that." He stated and I meekly nodded. "Yeah well they're fun guys and my friends so I hung out with them too ya know." I chuckled as we arrived at the store.

We both walked in and I picked up a basket. "Good afternoon." I greeted the cashier politely bowing slightly.

"Good afternoon to you too." The cashier responded as we walked by.

"What was that all about?" Sasuke asked confused. "Huh? Oh that, the store owners are really nice and that's their daughter. They've always let me shop at their store so I tend to try and be in my best behavior, I only treat a few of the other store owners like that." I shrug as we walked through the isles.

I double checked that I got everything that I needed to cook before looking at Sasuke.

"I think this is everything." I say smiling. "You sure it's EVERYTHING." Sasuke replied emphasizing everything.

"Well of course I do teme, now let's go so you can pay."I huff stubbornly as we went to the check out line.

Sasuke laughed. "Sure, sure I was just teasing you dobe." He ruffled my hair and poked my cheek.

I blush and look away still being stubborn. "Hmph, teme." I mumble glancing over at him and smiling a little. "Dobe." He retorted and pinched my cheek playfully.

"Tch okay okay." I whine and he let go and winked at me teasingly. "Baka." I mumble rubbing my cheek and then began placing the things on the counter.

"New nick name? You seem to have to many of them." He said as he looked at me.

"Well I like the first one I gave you." I say smiling as the cashier scanned our food.

"And which one of the many is it?" He asked. "Pervy Uchiha." I smirked triumphantly I saw his face go pale and the dark depressing aura around him and I bursts out laughing. "Pay up Uchiha." I laughed as he pulled out his wallet.

"You wound me Naruto, you still haven't forgiven me for that." Sasuke poured as he paid and we picked up the grocery bags.

"Well you did walk on me half naked in the land of waves, bet you have the image stuck in your brain so hmm." I reminded him and he blushed slightly.

"It was an accident, I didn't mean to walk in on you like that. And I promise I didn't see anything." He added at the end. "I'll believe that when pigs fly, I saw you starring I remember that's why from then on out you're Pervy Uchiha, when you become a famous shinobi other shinobi will recognize you like Zabuza recognized Kakashi sensei and say 'I see you are the Pervy Uchiha the one that stared at Lady Uzumaki Hokage's breast once and got a nosebleed." I taunted and nudged him slightly. Sasuke's had a sad aura around him. "Well I'll guess I'll tell them they were pretty big for her age." He clapped back and took off running.

My face flushed in embarrassment. "Sasuke you PERV!" I exclaimed as I ran behind him trying to hit him for what he just said.

He managed to avoid getting hit, but unluckily for him my apartment door was locked and I caught up to him and smacked him upside the head.

"Teme, I knew you were a pervert." I huffed taking the key out of my bra, took the chain off and unlocking the door. "You keep it in your shirt?" Sasuke asked sweat dropping.

"Well after a while I kinda forget it's there and I won't lose it. Also feel." I say placing it on his cheek. "It's warm." I smile and I saw a bit of blood run out his nose.

"PERVERT." I hissed hitting him again and walking in and taking my shoes off.

"Here set it down on the kitchen." I say as I take off my jacket and grab a clean rag and wipe down the counters.

"I'll start cooking." I smile as I brought out the rest of the ingredients.

"You honestly need to stop wearing big jackets you know." Sasuke stated as he sat on the floor

"Huh? But why they're super comfortable." I say as I began preparing the ingredients and stuff. "Well because they like eat your whole body up, it's looks cute and all but-" I interrupted him. "You think I look cute?" I smirked teasing him. "Well yes I mean no, that's not what I meant, I had a point I wanted to say ya know I didn't mean that you know you look cute, well you do but." He tried to correct himself. "I get it, I get it, I'm just so cool and cute that you can't even think straight." I laughed acting as if I was flipping my hair back.

He didn't have a comeback which made me laugh harder. "Cat got your tongue?" I asked as I went back to cooking.

"Psh, as if." He responded embarrassed looking away.

"Don't be a stick in the mud." I laughed winking at him. "I'll take it as a compliment." I say as I began cooking the rice.

Sasuke sighed and smiled slightly. "Fine anyway, what kind of training should we do later?" He asked.

"Well maybe tai jutsu, we could try and practice some with your Sharingan." I shrug as I walk toward him and sit beside him.

"Yeah, I did awaken it not long ago."he mumbled. "Oh by the way do you want something to drink? Water, soft drink or I could whip up some juice." I say standing up. "I'm fine." He waved it off.

"No really it's fine, I'll get you a soft drink, the one you like." I stated as I went to the fridge and pulled out two different soft drinks one for him one for him.

I remembered he told me he liked this orange flavored when we went to eat ramen a while back so I had bought it for if he visited.

"Here, you did tell me you liked this flavor right?" I ask as I hand it to him he nods.

"Yeah, I do. I thought you would've forgotten by now." He stated as he opened it and I shook my head. "I wouldn't forget silly, your my friend and teammate of course I'd make sure to remember stuff about you." I smile at him.

"Is that your favorite flavor?" He asked pointing at my drink, it was the Mountain Dew. "Yeah I buy it all the time, sometimes I change it up a bit and get grape or lime flavored drinks." I shrug as I open mine as well.

"You know even though we are on the same team we don't know much about each other." Sasuke stated and I nodded. "Yeah you're right. So let's see what kinds of foods don't you like?" I ask a random questions.

"Sweets aren't really my thing." Sasuke shrugged. "Yours?" He asked "I don't like vegetables." I chuckled nervously.

"What do you like to eat?" I ask him. "I like tomatoes, they taste good in foods and stuff. Sushi is good too." Sasuke state. "I like ramen, sushi and curry." I say as I stand up.

"Hold up imma go check on the rice." I say hurrying to the kitchen and taking the top off the pot.

"Is it done?" He asked. "Almost." I reply and put the lid back on.

"Hey Naruto what's your favorite color?" Sasuke asked. "Well orange of course, I dunno I just really really like it." I say looking down at my orange pants.

"What about you?" I ask him. "Hmm I'd have to say it's between blue, red, and white." He said looking down slightly. I noticed the crest on the back of his shirt. The Uchiha crest red and white.

It must be tough having everyone you care about killed.

"Hey if you want you can help me make the sushi, I'll teach you."I say changing the subject. For a moment he looked like he was about to decline but he got up. "Yeah sure." He replied his voice going back to his monotone state.

He was probably thinking about his family.

"Here wash your hands so you can touch the crab meat." I say as I began opening the crab meat package. I turned off the stove and let the rice cool down a bit as I took out the seaweed and began preparing everything.

Sasuke washed his hands and I began showing him how to roll the sushi and we started putting varies different combinations of filling inside of them.

"I'm going to make the filling for the rice balls so don't mess the sushi up, I'm counting on you." I smile.

The atmosphere had lightened up, we were chatting and laughing again. At times like this I enjoyed spending time with the Pervy Uchiha. Other times he could be a nuisance and irritate me till no ends. Sakura would always step in and intervene with our fights.

I began getting the soy sauce ready along with the wasabi. "Do you think we will be allowed to enter the chunin exams?" I asked him as I carried the tray of sauces to the table. "Hopefully, I think we have proved ourselves to Kakashi sensei and hopefully he will let us sign up.

"Don't we have to meet up with him early in the morning at the bridge?" I asked and Sasuke nodded as he placed the tray of sushi and rice balls down on the table.

"I just hope he isn't super late." I groaned as I grabbed my chopsticks and plate. "Thanks for the food." I clasped my hands together and then began serving myself.

"Yeah I don't want to wake up early for nothing." He added as he dipped his sushi in soy sauce and bit into it.

"So what do you think?" I asked excitedly as he tried my food. "Mmm it's pretty good." He smiled as he kept eating. I couldn't help but smile widely. "I'm glad you like it." I say as I ate some more.

"Here I'll go get the drinks." I say wiping my mouth with a napkin and getting up,  Sasuke nodded in response  as I left and went to the kitchen.

I grabbed two sodas out the fridge and hurried back to the table. "One for you, one for me." I smile setting them down on the table. "What do you think of Sakura?" Sasuke asked and I thought for a moment. "She's mean at times, but I would really like to be her friend, she also has very pretty hair." I say as I grabbed a rice ball.

"What about you, what do you think of her?" I asked curiously. "Well first off I wish she would stop trying to get my attention all the time and would focus more on her training, otherwise she isn't benefiting the team." Sasuke started off as he opened his soda. "Second, she can be really inconsiderate at times. Like the time she spoke about how you don't have your parents, I was really angry when she said that. There was no reason for her to say those things and yet she babbled about it like it was nothing." Sasuke frowned as he spoke. I could tell he got upset even talking about it, but it would be obvious why considering he didn't have his parents either.

"Yeah I heard her that time, but I guess I forgive her for it, she doesn't know what it's like so her opinion on that wouldn't matter." I shrug slightly as I continued eating. That's how our time went by, we talk about all kinds of things our likes and dislikes until we finished eating and headed out to the training grounds.

I'm not as quick on my ninjutsu or do I have many techniques memorized but I practiced the ones I did know. We would battle and battle until we got tired or one of us lost and would take a break before fighting again.

I did get frustrated at times with Sasuke's sharingan , it's like nothing could get passed it, he could predict my movements and block them he could see my ninjutsu so I couldn't surprise him as easily which resulted in me loosing many matches.

By the time we parted ways it was midnight, we had exhausted ourselves till we could barely keep fighting.

"See you tomorrow." I smile at Sasuke as I picked up my last kunai placing it back into the holester. Sasuke nodded, " Yeah I'll see you tomorrow Naruto." He smiled at me. He looked at me for a moment slightly shifting his weight as if he wanted to do something  he was going to say something but instead turned and quickly left not saying another word.

I headed home and took a bath, I soaked for a while and then went to bed, I wonder what was up with him? I guess Sasuke was a nice guy although most time he can be a teme and annoying. He was also very good looking with his dark colored hair and his eyes. I had noticed how the sharingan seemed to glow at night time when the moonlight hit it.

Wait, no, I don't like him so I shouldn't think like this. I'm no fan girl I'm a kunoichi and dedicated to training and getting stronger, I will not be crushing on any guys nope not me I'm different!

I sighed, why was I so confusing? It's not like I don't like him but that I don't want any distractions, I don't want to neglect my training and I don't want him to tease me for being weak or acting like a fan girl, besides out of all the girls that like him I'm not the prettiest, I mean half the village would swear on their lives that I'm a guy, I'm not the 'girliest' looking or 'prettiest' so I can just forget it there's no hope. Yup no hope! We are just friends.

I get out the bath wrapping a towel around me and walking to my room. I dry myself and slip on my panties and a shirt. I set my alarm clock, I use the towel to dry my hair and slip on my night cap before crawling in bed.

I was dozing off, I close my eyes. Man I feel so tired I'm happy that I can finally sleep
I don't like him, I don't like him, I don't like him...... Maybe. And with that I fell into a deep sleep.
-------

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring. I force myself to move and turn it off. I yawn and stretch, man I feel so tired even though I just got up.

I force myself to crawl out of bed, I drag my feet as I go to the restroom, brush my teeth, and get dressed. I'm pretty sure we don't have a mission so I don't pack all of my ninja gear but since you never truly know I take my kunai holester. I walk to the kitchen and serve myself yesterday's leftovers.

"Thanks for the food." I mumble to myself as I begin eating, it won't matter if I'm a little late its not like kakashi sense will be extra early.

I finish eating and stand up. I leave my dishes in the sink and walk out. I stop by my bedroom grabbing my headband, keys and some money before leaving my apartment.

I put the keychain around my neck and tuck the key in my shirt where my bra is. I then hurry to the bridge, by the time I get there I feel more awake and energetic.  "Morning Sakura-chan, Sasuke !" I smile as I see them. Both of them are standing by the bridge Sakura trying to lean her head on Sasuke's shoulder, which I ignore.

"Is kakashi sensei here yet or is he still not here?" I asked and Sasuke replied. "He's not here yet and I doubt he'll be here anytime soon." He replied in a monotone kind of voice, wow does he have some major personality change at times.

I sigh. "Well I guess we will have to wait." I sigh.

It was morning when we got here and by the time sensei arrived it was afternoon, I was annoyed and irritated by the time Kakashi-sensei arrived. "You're late!" Sakura and I yelled out angrily.

"I seemed to have gotten lost on my-" I interrupted him before he could finish.
"We all know that's a lie!" I hissed crossing my arms.

"Well anyway I've voted you three in for the chunin exam, don't worry it's all." Before he could finish I jumped on him hugging him.

"Thanks Kakashi sensei we won't let you down!" I exclaimed happily as he set me down. "Let me finish." He sighed

"Now as I was saying, it's completely voluntary." He finished his sentence and handed out the papers. "And Naruto please refrain on pouncing on me." Kakashi sighed and I nodded not listening what he was saying as I read the paper. "Yeah of course." I say

"Well that's all, we have no mission today also make sure to turn it in on time." Kakashi stated and vanished.

"Hey Sakura are you signing up?" I ask and she looks down. "Yeah maybe."she replied almost quietly.

"What about you Sasuke?" I asked and he smirked. "Of course I am you dobe." He ruffled my hair.

I frown, "don't ruffle my hair teme it's gunna get messy." I grumble.

"It's already messy Naruto." Sasuke chuckled and ruffled it again and I sighed in defeat.

"Well I'm gunna train extra hard today see ya tomorrow at the academy building." I smile and hurry off reading the paper over and over.

That day I trained till I couldn't move. I slept soundly and the next day I did light training before heading to the academy where we all met up.

"Sasuke where's Sakura?" I asked arriving at the academy,  I looked around and she was no where in sight. What if she didn't feel ready to take the chunin exams?

"I don't know she wasn't here when I arrived." Sasuke shrugged and looked around casually.

"Let's wait for her and see I she comes." I say as I look around. We wait and soon enough I spot bright pink bubble gum hair. "Sakura chan!" I call out waving my arm at her. "I thought you weren't going to show up!" I smile happily, she forcefully smiles. "Of course I'd come Naruto."

"Well lets go in we only have half an hour left."Sasuke sighed and we all started walking in.

We walked heading toward the first floor stairs, once we were. On the second floor we noticed that people were all crowded around this two guys blocking the entrance.

"Beat it punks, you won't make it past here." One guy covered in bandages hissed as he punched her knocking her on down on the floor.

I was taken back by the two guys guarding the entrance. "We are doing you genin a favor, so leave now while you still can." The guy smirked.

I glanced at Sasuke as he took the lead. "Hey let us through, while your at it remove the genjutsu surrounding the area we are heading to the third floor." He stated cooly, he glanced at Sakura. "I bet you noticed as well Sakura since your our genjutsu expert and more developed in that area." Sasuke complimented and I looked at Sakura. Damn that Sasuke of course they'd both notice before I did.

The guy smirked and they both went to a frontal attack when a guy in a green suit stepped in and stopped their kicks in midair.

Sasuke looked shocked but quickly masked it over with his normal emotionless face.

"What happen to not showing our true skills." A girl with two buns in her hair stated, I noticed she had no bruises from where the guy had punched her.

The guy in the green suit ignored her and walked straight toward Sakura. "Hi I'm Rock Lee, you must be Sakura. Let's go out together, don't worry I'll protect you till I die." He gave her a thumbs up and a wink.

I couldn't help but be horrified, he wasn't attractive at all, his lashes were just ew and those brows oh god those brows were just NOOOOOO.

I slowly backed up not wanting to be victimized next.

My attention was taken away by another conversation. "What's your name?" A Hyuga with long hair asked Sasuke.

"Isn't it rude to ask for someone's name without giving your own?" Sasuke retorted instantly.

I couldn't help but feel left out, I'm a worthy rival for petes sake!

"You're a rookie how old are you?" The guy ignored Sasuke previous comment.

"I don't have to answer you." Sasuke replied without hesitating. I want to get noticed too!!! I couldn't help but become annoyed.

Before I knew it Sakura was pulling us away to the registration room.

I had spaced out until someone yelled out, "hey guy with the dark eyes!"

All three of us turned around to see that lee guy.

"Fight me, I am the strongest genin in the leaf and I'd like to test my abilities." The guy instantly challenged Sasuke.

To say that I was irritated was an understatement, why wasn't I seen as a worthy rival?!

"Right now?" Sasuke asked cocking a brow. "Yes right now, I wish to test out my techniques also." He winked at Sakura and sent a weird heart thingy flying toward her. "Nnooooooo!" Sakura screeched doing her best to avoid the floaty thingy.

"Ew nooo your lower lashed and  those brows and don't get me started on the outfit and haircut." Sakura gagged, for a moment I felt bad for the guy from how sad he looked.

"Challenging me an Uchiha, you really are an idiot, I'll show you what the name means." Sasuke smirked and I was fuming.

"I'll fight him." I say stepping up and getting ready to fight. "I don't want to fight yo-" but I was already off.

I attacked swiftly but by the looks of it none of my attacks were landing. This guy had some intense speed and when he hit me with his severe leaf hurricane all I remember was hitting against the wall and the pain.

By the time I had returned to my senses I noticed a giant turtle.... talking.

"Huh Sakura chan I'm not the only one seeing this right?" I asked shocked as I looked at it.

That's when a super creepy guy appeared on top of the turtle. "You all acting on the influences of youth! " the guy stated as he struck a weird pose.

I looked at at him in horror, his brows were worse than lees and he wore the same green suit.

"Lee that was -" I zoned out I was busy paying attention to the turtle when I noticed him punch lee across the face.

"Well shit, okay then isn't that a bit to harsh." I say as I glance at my teammates, Sasuke was grumbling about how he couldn't believe he had just lost to that and Sakura couldn't get over the brows.

The Gai-sensei dude stated how Lee's punishment was 500 laps around te leaf. "Umm guys aren't either of you confused about the giant turtle?" I asked and they barely listened to me.

"Hey guys how's Kakashi-sensei doing?" He asked us and I cocked a brow.

"You know Kakashi-sensei?" I asked and he vanished.

"Do I know him? People refer to us as the eternal rivals! " he bellowed. "50 wins 49 losses I'm stronger than him." Gai-sensei stated and we were all left in shock.

How could he move that fast? Was he really stronger than our sensei?!

"No way." Sasuke grumbled. "Oh but it's true, and in any case you four should head into the classroom." He stated and I glanced over at lee, that's when I saw his un bandaged hand, the skin was worn and it looked like it he trained really hard.

"Sasuke-kun one more thing, I lied, I'm not the strongest leaf genin. I've entered these exams to defeat him but you are also one of my targets. Be prepared." Lee stated and I hissed slightly, why wasn't I getting challenged?

"Sasuke you sucked." I stated placing my hands behind my head. Sakura started scolding me but I ignored her.

"Next time I'll kick his ass." Sasuke hissed and I shugged. "Sure, I doubt it since you just got your ass kicked." I shrugged looking down.

"You saw his hands? You can tell bushy brow trains everyday as hard as he can....a lot more than you." I say looking away. Sasuke glances at me he cocks a brow and clenches his fist before smirking.

"Don't you guys think the chunin exams are becoming fun?" He asked and I smiled, this is the Sasuke I know not that angry stoic one that he always displays.

"Yup" Sakura giggles. "Hell yeah." I smirk and nod as we follow his lead.

When we arrived we noticed Kakashi sensei was waiting for us.

"So Sakura did come. Now you can properly take the exam." He stated and I was confused for a second.

"But you said the test was an individual choice." I point out the lie he had told us.

"Well the truth is that the test can only be taken in teams of three." Kakashi stated.

"If I had told you earlier you and Sasuke would've pressured her to enter and it wouldn't have been of her free will." Kakashi-sensei stated

"So if you and Sasuke would've showed up without Sakura the test would've just ended here." Kakashi shrugged

"But you came of your own free will, I'm proud of my team." Kakashi smiled through his mask. "Now go on." He stepped aside and three of us walked in proudly.

As we walked in I noticed all the people who were trying out for the chunin exams. I was busy examining them when I heard a squeal.

I turn to see Ino-pig jumping on Sasuke, behind her it was Shikamaru and Choji. "Hey look it's the idiot trio." I smile happily at them.

"Don't call us that." Shikamaru sighed, I turned to see Ino-pig and Sakura-chan fighting like always. Wow can't they act like normal people and not try to tear him apart like he's just some piece of meat?

"Would you look at that we are all here." I heard Kiba's voice, I turned to see him Hinata and Shino, I could feel my mood lighten at the sight of Hinata.

"It's all nine rookies, I wonder how far my team will get." He smirked. "Aren't you being a little cocky Kiba?" Sasuke asked cocking a brow and Kiba frowned.

"We've been training a lot, we won't lose to the likes of you!" Kiba snapped.

"He didn't mean that Naru." Hinata added to Kiba's statement.

I waved it off. "It's cool Hina-chan." I smile widely.

"You guys should stop screaming like that? This isn't an academy class, read the atmosphere." A voice brought us out of our conversations, a taller white haired guy with a leaf headband had interrupted us.

We all glared at him. "The names Kabuto and look behind me and you'll know." That's when I noticed all the glares we were receiving from them.

"Those ninja a short tempered, hidden rain village ninjas." He stated smirking.

"Don't make a scene, honestly you guys remind me of how I used to be." Kabuto chuckled.

"So is this your second time?"Sakura asked him and he shook his head.

"Nope, this is my seventh time, there's two every year so this is my fourth year." Kabuto stated shrugging.

"So you know a lot about the exams right?" Sakura asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, how about I share a bit of info with you little rookies huh?" Be asked and we all eagerly nodded.

He went on to explain the nin info cards. Everyone seemed to understand what he was saying so I just played along with it acting like I understood, Hinata came up beside me and broke down the explanation to me and I finally understood what he was saying.

"Thanks Hina-Chan your a life saver." I whispered and she giggled and nodded.

Kabuto went on to show us Lee and Garra's card,  They seemed to be formable shinobi and rivals, I was nervous and excited at the thought of fighting them.

I was smiling widely when I looked up at the other ninja. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! And I won't lose to any of ya bastards!" I yell out at the top of my lungs and smiled as I turned to my comrades. "That felt great." I chuckle.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my neck and hold me in a head lock. "Naruto you idiot. I'm sorry ignore him he's an idiot!" Sakura apologized and went on to scold me.

While she scolded me three shinobi moved through the crowd and before anyone of us could react fast enough they attacked Kabuto-Senpai.

They didn't directly hit him but the still managed to hurt him.

"Kabuto!" Sakura quickly went to his aid, how did he do that? I pondered.

"Pathetic, for a four year veteran." The sound shinobi laughed. I couldn't  help but frown, that damn bastard.

Before I could retort to the attack the protector arrived.

"Sit down you maggots or do you want to be disqualified before we even begin?" He snapped, the guy looked like a very scary looking protector and the other people behind him.

"We apologize we got carried away." The sound shinobi replied smirking and returning to the place they had been standing earlier.

"I'm Morino Ibiki, I'll be your protector this part of your exam." He stated as he looked around .

"This looks like a perfect time to say it but, no killing allowed without the protectors approval and if permission granted it won't be tolerated." Ibiki stated." Those who disobey will be disqualified immediately." iBook stated his glare was cold and horrid.

"Now this seating arrangement won't work, pick one of the tabs and find your seat number." Ibiki ordered and that's when I saw the big ass pile of papers, I could feel myself breathing anymore. I'm horrible with paper test..... I'm doomed.

I sat in my assigned chair. I was nervous but I could get through this I was a wonderful cheater. I can manage, I can manage! I thought to myself as he began explaining the test.

By the time he finished explaining I knew my chances were over, I could feel them glaring at me.

Why wasn't I smart as Sakura!! I took deep breaths. Okay what are my skills......... shadow clone jutsu okay can I use them here....... no.... okay then we'll shit I'm screwed.

I look to my left and then to my right, those chunin were staring right at us, there's no salvation for me it all over for me.

Time seemed to go by so slowly, I could feel myself sweating. I noticed Hinata beside me, she scooted her paper toward me but I couldn't, we would both get caught. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

That's when I noticed she didn't even write her name on the paper she wrote my name.

Before anyone could noticed Hinata switched our papers and started writing on the blank sheet of paper.

At this moment I like to thank kami and all gods on this earth because I don't truly deserve a friend like her...... it's a need that I have for her! Honestly I would have died at some point in my life if it wasn't for Hinata.

This is my best friend, my ride or die, the only one that truly matters! No one has my back like Hinata, she's like a gift sent from the gods with her flawless hair and lilac eyes. If I was a guy she'd be 100/10 she's wife material!

"Times up." The proctor called out.

"Now I want you to consider this with your teammates in mind." Ibiki spoke slowly letting us process what he said.

"You take the tenth question, there's a higher chance that you fail than pass, if you fail the question you and your teammates can never apply for the chunin exams again. But if you chose to quit and leave you can try again next year." His voice was calm and collected, everyone was horrified turning to look at their comrades trying to decide what should be done.

I turned and looked at Sasuke and Sakura, we could pass since I finished the questions or we could fail and never become chunin.

"I quit!" One voice called out. "I'm sorry but u can't risk it." The guy looked at his teammates. "78,45, and 56 please leave the testing room." The observing chunin called out. Before I knew it plenty of others were calling quits and throwing in the towel.

Hinata risked getting caught for me, my teammates were depending on me, even though I probably couldn't answer the question right.... I can't throw in the towel in now.

I lifted my hand, just as they were about to call my number I slammed my hand down. "Don't look down on us, we might still be genin but we aren't afraid to take risks! I don't care if I might not get the answer right but I will try my best even if it means going against all odds! That's what it means to be a ninja ! Going and doing what needs to be done even if it seems like there's rarely any hope! " I yell out, I kept a straight face and clenched my fist.

The entire room became quiet. No more hands were raised up. The proctor looked around waiting for anyone else. "So is that all? It seems this crowd is braver than the previous." He chuckled .

"Well congratulations you all pass!" He bellowed out a chuckle and I was taken back. "What about the tenth question?" Somebody called out.

"There wasn't any, well the question about leaving or staying could be considered the tenth, as chunin you will be faced with almost impossible situations and life risking missions. You must have the courage to put your life on the line to achieve your mission." Ibiki stated looking at everyone .

"What about the first nine questions?" They asked. "Those were to see how welll you could gather intel without being caught. Sometimes intel could mean the success or failure of a mission and more worthy than your life, a ninja must be able to gather intel without being caught otherwise the results aren't as pleasant." He removed his cap and I cringed slightly the way he was covered in scars.

Before he could say anything else someone bursted in through the window.

"The names Mitarashi Anko and I'll be your second proctor!" She smirked, I was taken back by her skimpy outfit but at the same time it was cute, I had a top like that but I wore a black spots bra underneath, I couldn't possibly show that much skin and be comfortable.

"Your early.... again." Ibiki sighed in annoyance.

"Would you look at that so many still left? I would've thought we would've had less than half of this. Are you loosing your touch Ibiki?" She teased and he chuckled.

"Well this year there's quite a batch of genin." He mocked as he looked at her.

"You bunch follow me to the the second exam."Anko snapped.

_______
Before we knew it we were outside a fenced forest.

Earlier I had hugged Hinata, praised her as my guardian angel, told her how much I love her and how I would be in a casket if it wasn't for her. Of how I revered the ground she walked on, she was my Hyuga goddess that saved my ass like a billion times, the entire time she was laughing at my sloppy speech and the big fat wet kisses I gave her on the cheeks saying. "Naruto it isn't that big of a deal." But man she doesn't know how happy I am to have her as my best friend if I were to have a sister she'd be Hinata..... like literally she will never get rid of me she knows too much and I'm stuck to her like glue, and I would probably die doing something stupid anyway so she has to to stay by my side!

Right now anko was going over the second exam and I was honestly scared shitless.

I looked at these other ninjas and they looked dead serious. "Big deal we will beat anyone that stands in our way." I shrugged as if it were nothing.

That was before a kunai flew right past me cutting my cheek. "Your a rookie right? Fresh meat straight from the academy." She smirked as she licked the blood off. I couldn't help but gulp.

How and when she got behind me was beyond me but another nin with a long creepy tongue tried to return the kunai. Anko told it to step back before she got violent but the grass nin laughed it off and moved away.

"Sign the paperwork! I'm responsible for no deaths!" She yelled out as she pulled away.

Sakura frowned. "Bandage that wound up, gosh why are you such a loud mouth." Sakura sighed.

I smiled nervously. "Can't help it I guess." I reply.

I didn't even bother reading the paper as I signed it, I could practically feel Hinata ripping her hair out from not reading it she'd probably scold me and say something like 'Naruto don't sign things without reading your could be selling the soul of your first born child for kami sakes! Read woman!'  But I'm me and reading is to boring sooooooo.......

I turn back and see Hinata, she had her package open and was looking straight at me, dead in the eyes, her brow twitched a bit and I gave her the biggest smile ever and two thumbs up.

She face palmed, shook her head, and looked to the skies as if she was praying for me.... she probably was anyway.

I turn to Sakura and see she's actually reading it and Sasuke already signed it. "So what do you think? Are we going to make it in there?" I asked and he shifted his weight. "If we set the right traps, fight the right people we will be done in no time." He stated as he crossed his arms.

"Well just don't get hurt teme, I won't baby you." I say smiling widely. "Aren't you sure it isn't the other way around you dobe?" He smirked winking at me.

"I'm finished." Sakura stated bringing us out of the teasing we had started up.

"Lets go turn it in and get our scroll." I say as I looked at both of them and they agreed.

We walked to the tent and received our scroll, Sasuke suggested he carry it since he was the strongest and that I carry a fake scroll just in case.

We walked back to our assigned gate and waited for further instruction.

"You guys ready?" I asked looking at them. They both nodded as the gates opened.

There was a blare of green light in the air and that was our signal.

We all ran in moving quickly through the forest, if we were caught at the entrance or by the gate it was because they would've assumed we were weak and attacked us first.

We didn't stop until we were deep in the woods. "This seems like a good stopping point, we can set a trap here-" Sasuke was interrupted by loud shrieks of terror and pain.

"We aren't even 5 minutes in." Sakura muttered in horror. "It's probably nothing." I shrugged it off.

"Anyway I gotta take a piss." I shrug as I turn walking a bit toward the woods past Sakura.

I was about to tell her to keep watch for me in case Pervy Uchiha tried something but I was hit harshly. "Not in front of a lady! Go to the woods!" She snapped. Well damn sorry lady Sasuke I'll go to the woods. I had to go too bad to complain much so I obliged.

After using the bathroom, I realized I felt as if someone was staring at me.

Is Sasuke really a pervert..... is he peeping at me? "Sas-"

Before I could finish I was attacked and tied up.

I tried to escape but I was in too much of a shock to do much. The guy used a Henge to transform into me and walk to my teammates.

Shit! I have I get out. I stopped wiggling and focused on grabbing my kunai and cutting myself free. I have to be quick so I can warn them!

I sawed the rope before breaking free, I ripped off the gag and ran to my teammates. I closed my eyes, I had noticed I'm good at sensing chakras so finding them wasn't that big of a deal.

"You won't get away!" I yell, I notice Sasuke's Sharingan so he's aware and needs a weapon.

I throw my kunai and Sasuke uses his foots chakra to catch it and attacks the enemy stabbing him right in the chest.

I could barely hear what Sasuke was saying due to the battle.

"You guys okay?" I asked as I landed and Sakura nodded.

"We can't continue like this, we can't trust anyone that looks like us." Sasuke stated.

Sakura and I nodded. "We will use a codeword, now listen closely ill only say this once, and if they get it wrong assume their the enemy." Sasuke stated and I nodded. "What's the code word?" I asked

"The code word is the 'nin song Nin Machine ' when this is asked you answer. A large amount of loud enemies is the friend of the shinobi, hide and remain silent, A shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared." Sasuke stated and I looked at him like he lost his mind, he knew I couldn't memorize that!

"I can't remember-" I was about to say when Sakura cocked a brow.

"Are you dumb Naruto that was easy to remember." She stated. I sighed and turned to Sasuke wanting to ask him to repeat it one last time maybe even beg him to.

"Hey the code word can-" he interrupted me. "I'll hold the scroll." He stated and almost instantly I felt a foreign chakra.

Before I could even react I felt a strong wind attack. I could barely hold my ground as I went flying off. "Shit!"

My body collided with a tree, I slide down and I felt on the verge of passing out but I took deep steady breaths and soon my vision was restored back to normal.

I could feel the aching pain on my back, neck, and head.

I noticed a shadow towering over me and a giant snake was looking down at me.

Using all my strength i managed to move from where I was but the snake had quick reflexes and before I knew it the bloody thing had wrapped its tail around my body and swallowed me whole!

I struggle inside it's throat. My body was being constricted and it was hard to breath or move. "Let me out!" I yelled desperately.

I can't die like this, I have dreams to look up to! I have so much ahead of me and I'll die as a evening snack?

I racked through my mind, what could I do to save myself?! That's when I bought of it, I'll multiply till this guy bursts!

It took all my strength to move my hands together so that I could form a sign. "MULTI SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" I yelled and I kept multiplying and multiplying. Tens hundreds thousands! Till the snake didn't have anymore room and bursted from the amount it contained in its body.

My breath was rigid as I looked around me, I was alive and not something's dinner. If I was in this mess what about Sasuke and Sakura?! I quickly stood up and began running, I undid my shadow clone jutsu and that's when I saw the grass nin. Just as she was about to attack them I sent shuriken and kunai flying toward her. " Sorry I forgot the code!" I yell out smirking.

"I know you think it's cool to come save us but Naruto this guy is on a whole other level!" Sasuke yelled out but my eyes were fixated on the ninja.

"You defeated my pet I see." The grass in smirked so he was behind the attack.

"I'll give you the scroll, please take it and lead us!" Sasuke yelled out pulling out the scroll. I stared at him in horror as he was about to throw it.

"What the hell Sasuke!" I yell jumping and catching the scroll before it reached the grass nin.

I turned and punched him square in the face. "You aren't Sasuke, Sasuke wouldn't do this." I hiss looking down at him.

"You idiot it's the only way for us to survive." Sasuke snapped.

"Giving the predators a different meal." The grass in smirked.

"And what guarantees you that this will make them go away? How are you sure that the snake bitch will just turn around and leave without trying to kill us?" I snapped at him. "Your to scared to notice the simple facts!" I yell at him.

"He's right, why just take the scroll when I can take it and kill you at the same time." The grass nin laughed as he pulled his sleeves up.

"Shut up!" I yelled, I placed the scroll in my pouch and ran toward the ninja with a kunai in hand. "Summoning jutsu."

And with that another giant snake appeared. So the bitch had more pets.

The snake attacked and I was thrown back I could feel the burning sensation on my back as I collided with a hard tree trunk.

"Eat him." The nin commanded and I felt the same raging power course through me again.

Just as it was about to swallow me while I moved and punched down on its head. "FUCK OFF YA PIECE OF SHIT!" I yelled as it head snapped downward.

The snake was going to fall on Sasuke but I reacted quickly, I managed to push it back and landed right infront of Sasuke whilst holding the snake back. "Who's the damsel in distress now?"I asked cocking a brow at him.

I felt something wrap around my leg, I was taken back it was hot and slimy.

I was lifted up to the grass nin. "Nine tails beast huh." He asked smirking, my eyes widen how did he know?

He started lifting my jacket and shirt up, he's a pervert! What am I suppose to do now?!

"When your emotions heighten, the power of the nine tails flows, we can't have that." He smirked as he lifted my clothes higher I struggled in his grip I screamed out trying to get away.

"Oh my the seal is visible." He chuckled as he pushed his fingers on my abdomen.

Suddenly everything around me started going black, I started loosing my senses and I felt myself falling.

I was in a cold dark place, it was if I was floating in water.

I slowly sat up, I was expecting my body to ache but it didn't.

I got up and looked around it was so dark, so cold and lonely, I slowly wrapped my arms around myself.

I walked and walked till I saw an opening.

I was cautious, where was I, I was fighting in the chunin exams just moments earlier.

I look up to see massive gates.

"Well would you look at that." A cold loud deep voice spoke.

"Whose there?!" I called out. "Show yourself!" I yelled as he came to view, a fox like creature came to view.

His eyes were cold his aura was so cold and angry.

"Who are you?" I asked as I cautiously approached.

"Well if it isn't the brat." He stated his voice was low and horrifying.

"Who are you?" I asked once more.

"Who do you think I am brat?" He chuckled and I looked at him.

He looked like fox, a very giant evil fox. "A uh fox." I stated very dumbfound, did he expect me to know who I was?

"I'm the demon fox sealed up inside you." He spoke angrily and annoyed.

My eyes widen in realization. "W-where am I?" I asked as I looked around. "We are in your subconscious. Where else." He replied.

"Do you... have a name?" I asked cautiously, who knows what the hell this fox can do and I'm guessing we are stuck with each other since he's locked up inside me.

He stared at me for a while narrowing his eyes. "You want to know my name?" He asked mockingly as he laughed.

"What's so funny? I was thinking since we are stuck with each other at least knowing each other's name would be good." I grumble annoyed.

"I knew you were a weird kid, the names kurama." The nine tails smirked as he looked down at me.

"Well I'm Naruto." I say as I look at him. It's quiet for a moment. "Do you know why I'm here?" I asked him.

"Well weren't you just in a battle? You being here means you passed out." Kurma mocked as he settled down.

"My teammates! Oh my god what if they get hurt." I gasp if I'm knocked out I'm vulnerable.

"They are still battling." Kurma laughed as he watched me panic.

"It's not funny I have to get up there and help them." I say seriously.

"You can't, our chakra had been cut off, you won't be getting up any time soon, and who cares if those pesky friends of yours die anyways." Kurma shrugged as he closed his eyes.

"Don't say that, they're my friends and teammates and if they fail I'll be in danger meaning you'll be in danger too." I snap.

"It's not like you can do anything brat, my chakra can't reach you, it's not like you can sap my chakra away to heal your wounds like you always do you whining brat. If it wasn't for me you would've killed yourself a long time ago." Kurma snapped.

I calmed down slightly, who wouldn't this fox was mean as hell. "Well, uh thanks I guess for keeping me alive... but don't be joking about my friends dying like that." I retort. The fox glanced at me cocked a brow and ignored me.

I hissed. "Your welcome, would be polite ya know I did just thank you." I grumbled angrily. "If you die I die, I wasn't doing it cause of charity ya brat." He snaps back not evening glancing at me.

"Well aren't you mean." I cross my arms.

"Anyway, so I'm like your jail warden? This is my body and all." I say sitting down since I was probably not waking up soon.

He didn't reply. "Hey you know you could have a better attitude when someone is talking to you, and you realize we are stuck with each other because I don't know how to get you out of me and your trapped in that cage so we basically have to get used to each other." I say I could feel the irk marks on my face.

"That doesn't mean anything brat." Kurma stated annoyed.

"Well at least while I'm unconscious keep me a bit of company ya know. It's starting to get boring." I grumble.

Kurma glared at me. "It's always quiet in here." He stated. "Well if you want you can talk to me so you don't get lonely and what not." I say shrugging.

"Why would I want to talk to a brat like you." He snapped. "Also can you see what I see? Can you talk to me while I'm conscious?" I asked him ignoring his previous insult. He looked annoyed.

"Of course I can, I can look at what's going on through your eyes right now, and I can speak to you whenever I please, now shut up brat." He said annoyed.

"Can you tell me what's going on right now?! " i asked standing up immediately.

He smirked and cocked his head. "I'm not your pet I don't do as you command so yes I can see what's going on but I'm not telling you." He mocked me.

Wow this fox was a bigger asshole than I thought.

"I wasn't commanding I was asking, sheesh tone it down on the angry demon side." I say lifting my hands up in defense.

" Also if you could talk to me why didn't you ever speak up? I would've kept you company and stuff, since it's so boring down here." I say sitting back down.

There's no way I'm getting this fox to do my bidding he has to much attitude.

The fox looked at me. "That's because your a brat who I'm stuck with but that doesn't mean I have to deal with you." He replied.

"Well at least a hello, how ya doin, I feel like you should eat this or do that, I'm bored entertain me, hey guess what I'm the nine tails demon, Kurama I'm inside you, surprise? That would've been good enough." I shrugged bored.

"Honestly kit, your the weirdest host I've every had." Kurma stated looking at me concerned and I shrugged. "Hey if your going to be inside me and we are going to have to deal with each other why not get along with each other." I stated playing with the water.

Kurma snorted and looked away. "Like hell, by the way kit.... your chakra has returned your going to start waking up now." He grumbled annoyed.

"Huh, thanks for the warning Kurma!" I smiled at him. "See ya later." I called out, everything was becoming bright and I was starting to wake up I squinted my eyes. The battle!

I sat up, "Where is he? Sakura Sasuke careful! He's going to attack again!" I yell as I look around only to see everyone was around me and no battle was going on.

I smiled slightly as I saw that they were fine.

"Naruto." I felt something hit me lightly upside my head.

I look up to see shikamaru and Choji. I was confused where is Sakura and Sasuke?

I turn and see them, I stand up slightly loosing my balance and running toward her. "Sakura-chan your hair!" I exclaim as I sat beside her. I was to exhausted to stay standing.

"Oh you know I like it long it out here in the forest and battles it can get in the way." She waved it off.

I turn back and look at the rest of the genin. "How come you guys are here?" I asked confused.

"Everyone came to save us." Sakura stated and I nodded, so they fought the grass nin.

I noticed bushy brows, I could feel my face light up. I stand up and start walking toward them. "Hey it's bushy brow!" I yell smiling when I felt a very familiar fist hit me. "Don't be rude to Lee-san!" Sakura scolded.

What the hell what happened while I was out damn you Kurma at least a little clue would've helped me avoid all this confusion.

"Hahahaha as I said I'm not your pet I wasn't going to do as you commanded." Kurma mocked me and I sighed

'You truly are evil, you want to watch me die from one of Sakura's beatings.' I sighed sarcastically.

I heard Sakura thanking Lee, Lee praising Sasuke's strength and I still didn't know what was going on.

_____________

Kurma barely spoke up and when he did it was to make fun of me.

I was letting my clones jump into the water and make the fish jump out while I was hiding in the bushes.

Sakura had suggested the idea and Sasuke agreed and I obviously was persuaded into doing as they said but like hell I'd use my real body.

Sasuke is a pervert he probably wanted me to jump in there with my bra and panties so he could peek again, and if I used a shirt it was still useless since it would stick to my body and like hell I'd let him see me like that after he complimented my boobs like a whole bunches times already! I could feel my face heat up at the thought of it.

'Didn't he already see them? That one time in the land of waves?' Kurma laughed and my face went redder.

'Kurma don't bring that up! I could almost die of embarrassment right now!' I yelled at him internally.

'It's not my fault you flashed him.' Kurma laughed loudly at me and I felt like my face was seconds close to catching fire from embarrassment.

'Baka it is not funny!' I snap as I hide deeper into the bush.

Sasuke already noticed it isn't me since I practically made my clones boobs flatter than a plank of wood and all.

'Of course he noticed you wear a what double d and he's seen them, he knows that a clone by just the chest!' Kurma laughed

Dammit Kurma was just getting a kick out of this but what could I do. It's not like he's lying or wrong!

Without Sakura or Sasuke noticing I switched with my clone, I was wearing my clothes and waiting for them to cook the fish.

"Aren't you going to get your clothes wet Naruto?" Sakura asked and I shook my head. "Nah I'm all dry." I say and Sasuke cocked a brow.

"Sure you are." He stated as he started the fire and began setting the fish to cook.

Dammit he definitely noticed it was a shadow clone! I could hear Kurma having the laugh of a lifetime.

"You know there might not be anymore heaven scrolls." Sakura sighed.

She went on explaining why but all I heard was number and Kurma die a little bit in the inside because of how dumb he claimed I was.

"The next enemy is our final chance." Sasuke sighed. "I'm going to get water." He stated and stood up.

I grabbed the scroll. "You know there's a way we can get a scroll without fighting any enemies." I whisper as I open my bag pulling out a bunch of empty scrolls.

"I have many different kinds of scrolls and we just have to find one that looks like a heaven scroll." I say.

"Yeah but we still don't know what's written on the inside you Baka!" Sakura sighed.

"Well usually there's some kind of password and I'm guessing this is how the exam is so we just figure it out and bam we are in." I shrug.

"But doesn't that mean you want to open the earth scroll?!" Sakura gasped and I nodded.

"No! The rules you idiot, we can't open the scroll no matter what." Sakura stated grabbing the scroll.

"But we might not have anymore time!" I protested and she was quiet.

It took all my courage as I slowly and gently began peeling off the paper.

I was about to snap it open when a hand stopped me.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I look up to see kabuto

_________
Sasuke was furious especially with me since I had the idea.

Sasuke was also very suspicious of kabuto and when he questioned on kabuto intentions kabuto told him that he already had both scrolls.

Sasuke immediately challenged him to fight.

I couldn't help but feel wrong for that because he had helped us.

"Sasuke we shouldn't, he helped us." I protest. "Yeah I agree." Sakura nodded.

"Honestly Sasuke you aren't as cold hearted as you say you are, if you were you would've just attacked and tried taking it from me, that is what ninja do." Kabuto smirked and Sasuke was taken back.

"But I'll lead the way for you if you want, besides that smoke and smell of cooked fish will attract beasts and enemies." Kabuto stated.

We all looked at each other it seems as if we have no choice.

______

We were running through the forest kabuto had just explained to us what we should be expecting for this last part of the exam.

We stopped. "Look the tower." Sakura smiled as she pointed to it.

"Seems like we are almost there." Kabuto smiled slightly.

I felt a presence behind me and I threw a kunai at it, there was loud rustling. "Oh it's just a centipede." I say cringing in disgust.

"Naruto try not to make unnecessary noise, since from here on out we need to be silent." Kabuto stated seriously as he looked at me. I nodded. "Yea sure." I reply

We headed off again, for some odd reason I felt as if no matter how much we advanced we weren't getting far.

'You really are an idiot.' Kurma grumbled annoyed

I felt a small burst of energy inside me, I looked around and noticed that the rest of them were not running in a straight line but back to where we started. "Wait you guys!" I called out. "We are walking in circles!" I cried out pointing to the same centipede from afar.

That's when they all realized.

Thankfully we weren't all tired out.

And that's when our next opponent came out.

_______________

"Multi shadow clone jutsu!" Damn how long was I going to keep this going?

My teammates and kabuto were hiding and I had transformed 3 shadow clones into them and was having a hard time protecting them so they wouldn't vanish.

On top of that the endless amount of clones they were making was annoying.

"Looks like your chakra is depílate." I heard a voice I looked over to where I felt the presence. "I'll be returning that stab from earlier." The shinobi stated as he pulled out a kunai.

I smirked so they finally show themselves. "Sorry about that pal only I've been using my chakra." I smirk as I let go of the henge and shadow clone jutsu.

My team was behind them. "Naruto I'll take it on from here." Sasuke stated and I frowned why did he think I couldn't handle them.

Before Sasuke could do anything I punched one and he  crashed into his three little friends and were sent flying. "I told you not to underestimate me or steal my spotlight." I smirk as I held a my fist up slightly. I was panting but I could still fight dammit.

"We still have clones." The shinobi guy snapped as many clones appeared.

Shit what now, I couldn't make more shadow clones! I guess I'll have to fight all of them.

"I got this Sasuke, I'll beat the shit out of all of them." I say as I try punching them but go through them due to them being illusions.

"Sasuke stop using the Sharingan! ." Sakura cried out.

What was going on? I turned to see and lost my concentration.

I felt kabuto grab my waist and yank me out of the way.

He fell slightly on top of me...... his face smothered in my boobs.... why me? Why do I always have this terrible luck?

Kurama was laughing so hard that I bet he probably pissed himself if he can even piss.

"Kabuto-san are you alright?" I ask although of course he was he landed on my soft boobs but he got cut so I guess it was appropriate to ask.

"Yeah I'm fine." He grumbled and got off me. I instantly got up and moved trying to find the real one. It was no time to act girlish about what just happened.

He was about to stab kabuto when he hesitated and I took that as my chance and punched the shit out of the guy. Payback for making kabuto save me and land on my boobs because honestly every male seems to have some encounter with them for Kami sake.

I tied the shinobi up and took their scroll.

"I've got it!" I exclaimed holding it up and Sasuke and Sakura looked a bit happy. "Now to the tower!" I say tiredly.

________
Kabutos teammates were waiting on him.

"Kabuto it took you a while." His teammate stated.

"Well I'm here, by the way thanks Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, I managed to arrive."  Kabuto smiled.

"No thank you with your help we were able to find the last scroll." I smile.

"Well lets go through the doors now." I smile as we head our separate ways.

We entered into a room. "What now?" I asked and Sakura pointed at the board. "Look what do you think that means." She mumbled.

"It's missing words." I say crossing my arms.

"I think the missing letters is in our scroll." Sakura stated as she looked down.

"Lets open it." I say and we all nodded.

Me and Sakura opened them at the same time and there was a puff of smoke. It was Iruka sensei.

I smiled widely.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked.

"Well at the end of the second exam we the chunin get to meet up with the exam takers and and I was allowed to be the one to greet y'all." He smiled.

"And right in time congratulations you guys pass." He smiled hitting the stop watch.

"To celebrate your achievement I'd like to by you guys a bowl of ramen but-" I couldn't hold back my excitement as I ran toward him and hugged him.

"We did it! We did it! We did it!" I cheered happily as I hugged him ignoring what he said and then jumping around.

"Still can't stand still huh?" He asked sighing and I smiled.

"If we had opened up the scroll during the test what would've you done Iruka sensei?" Sasuke asked I stopped to listen to this though.

"Sharp as ever Sasuke." Iruka sighed.

"If you would have disobeyed the rules and opened the scroll, you would have been put in an unconscious state."Iruka sensei replied and I was so happy kabuto stopped us.

"Iruka sensei what does that mean? There's words missing?" Sakura asked.

"Who cares we passed!" I cheered but Iruka sweatdropped.

"I'm also here to explain that." He stated.

"It's the motto of the chunin exam. Heaven means mind like being smart, earth means body as in physical strength. So 'if you lack heaven seek for wisdom be prepared' so for Naruto since she's not that smart she should study more." Iruka explained. "It means to gain knowledge and prepare for your missions.

"So if Sakura's weakness is stamina that means she should train harder." Iruka finished off.

Iruka looked at Sasuke. "But if you have both heaven and earth you can succeed in the most dangerous missions.

He finished explaining it I barely paid attention after that, I was a little tired.

"For your final test, don't push yourselves too hard." Iruka sighed as he looked at us.

I looked up at him. "Don't worry iruka sensei, I'm a ninja now, in stronger and more confident." I smile up at him.

Iruka stared at me for a moment and nodded. "Of course naruto" he smiled
