"It's such a nice day." Setsuka hummed as she walked beside Yuuki, Shigemi, Shizuma and Ōkami. The three girls and two animals were on their way back from eating with Saske, Sachi and Kireina. Saske and Sachi had to go home – Sachi had to do chores while Saske had a Hyūga meeting – and Kireina went off to meet with Kurenai.

"It sure is. The sun is so nice on the skin~" Shigemi hummed as she skipped slightly as the girls walked along the path. That's when they heard shouting and the voice sounded like it was coming from a blonde they were very familiar with.

The girls stopped walking with the animals and turned their heads to see Naruto, Konohamaru, Konohamaru's friends, Sakura and Sasuke bickering with three shinobi who seemed to be from the Sand Village. One was a young girl with blonde hair in four messy ponytails. The other was a guy in a jumpsuit with makeup on his face and a hood hiding his hair. The last was a small guy with red hair and blue eyes. He was standing upside down on a branch of the tree Sasuke was sitting in.

A vein popped out of Shigemi's head as sweat ran down Setsuka's and Shigemi's heads. The sand shinobi were here for the Chunin exams and Naruto was already causing trouble. Naruto continued to shout as the redhead ignored him for Sasuke. The redhead turned his head to Naruto once again but only because he felt a strong power near him.

The sand shinobi went wide eyed as they saw Shigemi come out of nowhere and punch Naruto in the face. As soon as her fist collided with his cheek, Naruto was punched into the tree Sasuke was perching on. Sakura and the children turned pale as they hid behind Sasuke in fear of Shigemi's wrath. The sand shinobi seemed shocked with the female's strength.

"What the hell?!" The guy in the jumpsuit and the girl exclaimed as they stepped back when Shigemi stood up straight with her fists clenched. Naruto groaned and looked up at Shigemi glared at him, making the male shake in his seat.

"You idiot! Why are you starting trouble with Shinobi from other villages?!" Shigemi exclaimed with several veins popping out of her head. She went to go to Naruto, but Shizuma ran behind Shigemi and held her back with sweat running down her face. Ōkami and Yuuki were trying to push the female back by pushing her legs. That's when Setsuka went to the sand shinobi and bowed her head.

"I am very sorry for our idiotic friend's behaviour." Setsuka stated as she stood up straight to show a worried expression while looking at the sand ninjas. She then looked at Gaara and bowed to him as well. "I'm sorry for our friends." She said apologetically.

"Err... Don't worry about it..." The girl said with sweat running down her face. Setsuka turned to the girl and smiled sweetly. "I'm Setsuka Uchiha. I'm guessing you're here for the Chunin Exams." Setsuka spoke kindly, making the two Sand Shinobi; who was standing on the ground, nod their heads once. Setsuka then turned her head at Team Seven with a frown on her face, making everyone jump. All of a sudden the redhead seemed bored of what was going on and went to the ground using sand. Sasuke too jumped down from the ground.

"Let's go." The male spoke as he began to walk away with the other two ninjas following. Sasuke then stepped forward with a frown on his face.

"Hey, you, identify yourself." Sasuke ordered in a demanding tone as he frowned at the redhead. The blonde girl then turned around with a blush on her face, smiling slightly.

"Hm? Me?" She asked in a giggly tone.

"No. Him. The guy with the gourd on his back." Sasuke responded while pointing at the redhead. This made the other two males stop walking and turn their heads.

"Sasuke, be nice." Setsuka ordered in a whisper with a frown. Meanwhile, behind him Shigemi was still trying to get to Naruto with Shizuma holding her back.

"My name is Gaara, of the Sand. I'm curious about you too. Who are you?" Gaara asked as he narrowed his eyes at Sasuke. Everyone behind Sasuke stopped what they were doing and watched Sasuke.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke spoke with confidence as he and Gaara stared at each other. A gentle wind passed through the genin. Setsuka released a sigh due to how her cousin was acting. There was a strong tension between the two males who stood in front of one another from a distance. Everyone around them could feel it... Well except for...

"Hi there! I bet you're dying to know what my name is!" Naruto said with a grin on his face as he pointed to himself with his thumb.

"Naruto shut up!" Shigemi exclaimed as she continued to try and get to the blonde, however Shizuma, Ōkami and Yuuki continued to hold her back. Gaara glanced at Naruto with a bored expression on his face.

"I couldn't care less." Gaara stated in a calm/bored tone of voice. Just then the three ninjas from the sand village turned around and left the Leaf genin standing there. Then Naruto began to scream as Sasuke watched the sand ninja's leave with a smirk on his face. As he was watching them, Setsuka suddenly slapped him on the back of the head, making everyone flinch back.

If Setsuka slaps you, you're seriously in trouble.

"Hey! What was that for?" Sasuke exclaimed with a vein popping out of his head. Setsuka had a vein pop out of her head as a dark look appeared in her eyes. Sasuke looked away with sweat running down his face as he realised he has just pissed off the calmest ninja in the village... And he lives with her...

"Just wait until we get home! You're in trouble this time Mister!" Setsuka shouted at the male. Everyone then hid behind Shigemi, who had her arms folded. She was shaking a little, however, she hid her fear better than the others.

"I never thought she's the type to get railed up..." Konohamaru said, shaking in his spit while hiding behind Naruto. He and his friends were all sacred and close to tears as they watched Setsuka shout at Sasuke, who acted like the shouting didn't faze him one bit.

"Trust me... Piss Setsuka off and you might as move to Pluto." Shizuma stated while shaking with Ōkami on her shoulder and Yuuki hiding behind her leg. Everyone looked at Shizuma with raised eyebrows.

"Why there?" Sakura asked in confusion. Shigemi looked at Sakura with sweat running down her face.

"It's either you die from it being too cold there, die by going to the sun or die by Setsuka's wrath." Shizuma explained as she looked back at the two Uchiha's.

"Oh..." Everyone responded as they continued to watch the Uchiha's bicker.

The Next Day

"Hey, Kireina-Sensei?" Sachi questioned as the girls sat in the training grounds. They were taking a break from training as they have been training since 10 AM. It is now 1 PM.

"What is it?" Kireina asked as she looked at the Nara, who held a water bottle in her hand. Sachi put the bottle down and leaned back, using her hands as support, while looking at Kireina.

"Are we taking the Chunin exams?" Sachi questioned, making the rest of her team look at each other before looking at Kireina. Kireina released a sigh before shaking her head. "Why not?" Sachi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You five know who you are and what you are capable, correct?" Kireina asked, making the five girls nod their heads. "You've known since you moved to Konoha as your families or the Hokage would have explained it to you, correct?" The girls all nodded once again. "That is the reason why. It would be an unfair advantage; therefore the Hokage is finding a mission for us to go on to see if you are good enough to be Chunin." The girls all had a sparkle in their eyes as they leaned forward and looked at Kireina with wide eyes.

"Are you serious?!" They all exclaimed in shock as they stared at Kireina. Hope, shock and excitement was shown in their eyes as they stared at the female. Kireina had sweat run down her face as she laughed slightly, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Of cause I am. The mission will be in one month." Kireina explained, making the girls sit back, looking at each other with excited looks and big grins.

Time Skip – One Month Later...

"Aw, you're going on a mission now?!" Naruto exclaimed as he walked with the girls, who were on their way to meet Kireina at the gate of the village. He had his arms folded behind his head as he walked with the girls.

"Sorry Naruto. If we want to be Chunin, we have to." Sachi stated as she folded her arms behind her head, copying Naruto.

"Why couldn't you take the Chunin Exams like the rest of us?" Naruto asked with a groan, making the girls laugh awkwardly as they looked at the blonde.

"Well we have our reasons." Setsuka stated as she scratched the back of her neck with one hand while her other arm held Yuuki. Naruto released a sigh as the girls got to the gates. Standing at the gates already was Kireina with another jounin.

"Girls, this jounin is going to be joining us to see how well you do during the mission." Kireina explained as she pointed to the male, who bowed his head. The girls all bowed while Naruto watched everything from the side. After a group talk, they were about to leave, but Saske didn't move. "Saske?" Kireina asked with a raised eyebrow. Saske turned her head to Naruto, who jumped slightly. It was rare for her to look directly at him.

"Beat Neiji for Hinata." Saske spoke in a stern tone of voice. Naruto had a serious expression on his face and nodded his head.

"I will." Saske nodded her head and then she walked to her squad. The five girls, two animals, Kireina and the jounin then left, leaving Naruto at the gate. He looked at his hands, remembering the fight between Neiji and Hinata. He frowned and clenched his fists. "I will beat Neiji..."

Tbc...
