Chapter 7; The Chunin Exams Are Coming!

(A/N: I'm fucking back! Play the media for more effects! The song is called [あの娘シークレット] Anoko Secret translating to The Secret About That Girl. This song is written by Eve. The media above is a cover made by Harutya. Enjoy.)

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Okay, kiddies. I'm going to report the mission while you guys just go and have fun, okay?" Said Kakashi.

"Hai!" And they walked out of the Hokage's office.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

Team 7 is walking through the village until Naruto saw Team 8. He decided to walk towards them and chat with them. After all, him and Kiba haven't talked in ages.

"Hey guys! We're back from our mission, Dattebayo!" Yelled Naruto to Kiba who is holding Akamaru.

"What took you so long? I mean, a C-Rank can't be that difficult, you know?" Said Kiba in a mocking tone.

"Well...the mission turned from a C-Rank to A-Rank because Momochi Zabuza appeared with his student." Replied Sakura.

"I bet, you're lying! Fresh genins aren't allowed to go on A-Rank missions until they're either a high level Chunin or Jounin." Exclaimed Kiba in a smug way.

Sasuke throws them their report card and Team 8 looks at it. Their eyes widened. 'They were telling the truth! That means...they're stronger than us.' Was their thought after Shinzo gave the paper back to Sasuke.

"Do you believe us now, uncultured swines?" Asked Sai with a smile on his very pale face. "Y-Yeah...I guess we d-do now..." replied Hinata while playing with her fingers.

"Have you people heard about the Chunin Exams? Why? Because it's coming up for the next 2 months." Said Shino as he crosses his arm.

"E-Eh?! It's coming up already? We haven't even prepared for anything because we were on the waves mission, Dattebayo!"

Kiba smirks. 'So they haven't prepared, huh? That'd make them easier to defeat.' Thought Kiba as he sent a glance to Shino and Hinata. They agreed silently. Akamaru barks.

Sai looks at their faces and knows exactly what they were thinking. He looks at them in disgust. 'Fake friends....they'd talk sweetly in front of you until you turn back do they show their true selves.' Thought Sai as he scans their faces.

"Hn." Spoke up Sai to Team 7.

Translation: They are underestimating us.

"Hn!" Grinned Naruto.

Translation: Good, Dattebayo! They won't know what we have in store for them.

"Aa." Sakura spoke up.

Translation: Agreed.

"Hn." Sasuke spoke up this time and shoves his hands in his pocket.

Translation: I'm glad I taught you guys the Uchiha's language. This could be our code or something.

"Yeah, it could be our code." Spoke up Sakura with a smile that seems so fake that it's burning Team 8's eyes.

Hinata looks between them in confusion. "W-What are they t-talking about-t? A-All they're s-saying is Hn." Whispered Hinata to Shino.

"It seems like it is their secret code. Why? It would be for the Chunin Exams." Answered Shino as his glasses shined like most anime characters with glasses.

(A/N: For example, Franken Stein from Soul Eaters.)

"Interesting, right Akamaru?" Asked Kiba. Akamaru barks in agreement while his tail is wagging. Hinata looks at Sakura who was staring directly at her.

"I don't think we've properly met, Hyuuga-San." She suddenly speaks up. Hinata could only nodded in respond.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. It's very nice meeting you on this fine day, isn't it?" She said in a very weird manner.

She smiles warmly but that smile seems like something is hidden there...something darker. Hinata gave Sakura a small smile of her own.

Sakura extends her hand for a handshake.

"I-It's nice to m-meet you too, S-Sakura-San. M-My name i-is Hyuuga H-Hinata..." she replied while hesitating to shake Sakura's hand but she shook it nevertheless.

Sakura grins and pats Hinata's head. Her eyes seems to glow like a cat's eyes in the dark. She whispers something into Hinata's ears that made her freeze in fear. Hinata's eyes widened as she quickly push Sakura away from her.

Sakura quickly got up and dust dirt from her clothes. She glances at Hinata who is being comforted by her teammates.

She licks her lips and grins.

"What's wrong, Hinata-Chan?" Asked Sakura innocently. Hinata doesn't respond as tears flow out of her pearly-white eyes.

"What did you do to her, y-you monster?!" Screamed Kiba. "Nothing. I just said 'I know your secret...' that's all." She smirks. Her plan is going accordingly.

Shino glances at Hinata. "What is she talking about?" He asks her loudly for all of them to hear. "Oh, she just simply...killed somebody by accident." Answered Sakura as her grin dropped. She turned serious.

"Is that true, Hinata?" Asks Kiba with a look of panic. Akamaru begins to whimper. Hinata looks away from them. "Y-Yes....I-I did..." she answers.

Everyone but Team 7 is shocked.

"I-I was walking when...."

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

8-year-old Hinata was walking when she feels like she was being stalked by someone. She turns around and sees a man who seemed like he was in his early 50s. She panicked immediately.

"Oh, hello there little girl." Said the man as he licks his lips. "Let's...have some fun, shall we?" He suggests as he starts to unbuckle his belt.

Hinata suddenly starts crying. The man grabs her tried to rip her clothes off. Hinata only has one solution in her mind.

'KILL HIM.' She told herself and she did what she thought was right. "Hyūga-ryū: Jūken (Hyūga Style: Gentle Fist)!" She yelled and activated her Byakugan. She stared at his body and decided to stop his heart from pumping out anymore blood cells.

She succeeds in stopping his heart and he died there on the spot. She quickly ran away from the scene and went back home.

Later on, an ANBU discovers his body. That ANBU took the body to the hospital for them to examine what the cost of death is.

"It seems that, he was killed by most likely a Hyuuga because there's a block in his vein connected to his heart." One of the doctors said.

The ANBU nodded and reported the news to the Hokage. "I understand. Question all of the Hyuugas'!" Announced Minato.

After they questioned everyone, the most suspicious person is none other than Hyuuga Hinata herself. The Hokage decided to ask her directly.

"Where were you 2 hours ago, Hinata-Chan?" Asked Minato gently. "I-I....Killed the man...Hokage-sama." She admitted.

Minato looks at her in shock. After that, Hinata explained the situation to the Hokage who agreed that there will be no charges put against her since it was for self defense.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"You did it, Hinata-Chan," said Sakura as she smiles genuinely. She looks at Sakura in confusion. "What d-do you mean-n, Sakura-san?"

"You finally told your teammates the truth that you've been hiding. Now, you and your teammates are going to be closer than ever." She finished.

The truth is that Team didn't really know her secret until Sakura was snooping around the Hokage's office. She found some documents on the desks and curiosity clouded her judgement.

So she read one of them and to her horror, she found out about Hinata's secret. She told the rest of her teammates and they were equally terrified—not Sai though. She thought of this plan for the longest time and was glad it worked.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Huh, Team 7 playing the hero....? Very interesting. Let's see how far you can go, Haruno Sakura, Namikaze Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Sai." Murmured a figure who was watching the scene unfold in the trees.

"ꜱᴀꜱᴏʀꜱ, Leader is calling for us. Damn...I didn't expect for you to be the type to stalk genins." Said another figure in disgust.

"Shut up, єเ๔คг. I'm not stalking them. o刀ム刀 asked me to watch over one of them because of their suspicious act." Replied ꜱᴀꜱᴏʀꜱ with a look of displeasure on their face.

"Okay, whatever. What's so special about them anyways that even o刀ム刀 is interested? I mean the Ɯ០៣⩎ is like a walking ice cube!"

"The ones on the left side...are the ones that interested o刀ム刀. I feel like those kids are....you know...not kids for some unknown reason. It's...the way they act and their actions...it's too much like a very seasoned shinobi. It doesn't fit their character as genins at all." the figure stated.

"Now that you mention it...it IS strange for fresh genins to walk on grass so quietly. Plus, they hid their chakra perfectly unlike the other three." The other figure agreed.

With that, they left to go see their leader.

(A/N: Can you guess who they are?)

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

Suddenly, a kid who's probably 5-8 years old ran up to Naruto. "Naruto-nii! You promised to play ninja with us today." Requested the boy with his friends running behind him.

(A/N: They haven't graduated yet...I can't find the exact representation so I'm forced to use this picture instead.)

"You're playing 'ninja', dic—" he was cut off by Naruto who covered Sai's mouth. He glares at Sai.
"Please don't finish that sentence...there are kids here, Dattebayo." He says while twitching.

"So who are you cuties?" Asked Sakura as she glances at the kids. "My name is Sarutobi Konohamaru and I wanna be like Naruto-nii!" Said Konohamaru as he grins.

"While I'm Kazamatsuri Moegi, the sassiest academy  student!" Said the girl with orange hair. "And I'm Ise Udon.....I like to count and do math exercises..." said a boy wearing glasses as he wipes his nose.

"Nice to meet all of you! My name is Haruno Sakura and this is Sai and Uchiha Sasuke. We are Naru's teammates." Said Sakura as she smiles brightly.

"Uwahh...she's so nice! Naruto-nii, is she your girlfriend?" Asked Moegi. "If she is, good job! She's a real good catch." Commented Konohamaru.

"E-Eh....?! No, no! I'm not Naru's girlfriend. We're just friends only. I swear!" Protested Sakura. After all, she has a mission to save the WORLD. She has no time for romance.

"Aww....too bad...let's play Ninja!" Exclaimed Moegi.

"Hn."  Grunted Sasuke in displeasure.

Translation: So that was his plan after all...to drag us into his mess playing Ninja....fucking great.

"He's a moron but that's why he's unique, emo." Replied Sai as he sketches a tree and some hills. Sasuke sighs. "Whatever...they're calling for us to play with them. Wanna join?"

"I've got nothing better to do. Let's go duckass." And with that they played ninja until Konohamaru bumped into someone.

"Sorry, mister! I wasn't looking at where I was going." He apologized. The one he bumped into sneers.

"How about I teach you a lesson? Brats like you don't deserve to live." Finished the stranger as he picked up Konohamaru by the collar.

He was about to release his chakra strings when a voice stopped him. "I wouldn't want to do that,  if I were you." Said Sakura.

"Now, what would a pesky pink-haired freak like you able to do?"

"The one you're holding right now is the 3rd Hokage's grandson. Actions like these can cause wars. So I wouldn't do that, if I were you." This time, Sai spoke up.

"Kankuro, I think you should stop...you know what HE will do if he finds out, right?" Reassured the stranger's companion.

"I don't care. This brat needs to learn a lesson, Temari!" Said 'Kankuro' yelled at 'Temari'. She sighs and was about to say something when a voice cuts her off.

"Kankuro, that is enough. You're a disgrace to the village." Said a boy that appeared out of nowhere. That shocked Kankuro and Temari.

"G-Gaara...." Kankuro stuttered as he dropped the boy that ran over to Sakura. She hugged him and whispered comforting things to him as he cries silently.

"I apologize if my...brother caused any trouble. We are here on the behalf of the Chunin exams." The red haired boy spoke up. "We will be leaving now."

"Wait..." Sasuke called out. They turned back to his direction. "What is your name?" "Who, me?" Temari spoke up with a blush on her face.

Sasuke stares at her in disgust. "No, you with the gourd." He corrected. "My name is Subaku Gaara and I'm curios about your name too."

"The name's Uchiha Sasuke."

"Do you wanna know MY name, Dattebayo?"

"Dickless, they already know who you are because you're the son of the fourth Hokage....are you a fucking moron? Wait...scratch that. You already are." Insulted Sai.

"Hey! I'm not dickless. I have something down here too, you know?!" Countered Naruto. Sakura sighs and hits them both on the head.

"Shut the fuck up. I'm so fucking tired of your bullshits! Naruto, next time go into a room with Sai and take your pants and underwear off so then you can proof that your not fucking dickless!" Yelled Sakura as her eye twitched.

"Sorry." They said in unison.

"Also, Gaara-San. I apologize for these morons' petty arguments. They do this a lot but it's mostly Sasuke and Naruto though. I promise to take better care of these pets." She said politely.

Gaara blinked.

Twice

. . .

Thrice.

'What kind of team is this?' Was his thought. And with that, they walked away feeling super awkward about the whole situation.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Do you think they're strong, Kankuro?" Asked Temari out of the blue. "I don't think so. I think the weakest in the team has gotta be the pale dude and the pink freak." He replied.

"I disagree. They are strong. They may look weak but we shouldn't underestimate them. After all, the only way to suffice mother's need is to kill them." Gaara suddenly spoke up.

"I would like to kill that Uchiha boy first." He grins like a fucking maniac. His siblings glances at him worriedly.

"Based on my observations, the pink girl isn't that strong and so is the pale boy. The other two is strong based on their profile." Said Temari.

"Whatever, we should train." Suggested Kankuro.

"I agree. Mother requires more blood." Once Gaara finished saying that, he disappears leaving his siblings to stare at the spot where he once stood.

"I'm worried for them. They just got themselves targeted." Whispered Temari. "Me too, Temari. Me too..."

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

'Where could they be?' Thought Gaara as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop in great speed. 'They must be with their sensei, son.' Responded Shukaku while pretending to be his mother.

Gaara searches some more and comes across Sai and Sakura. He smirks and jumps down. 'This will be very interesting right, mother?'

'You can kill them for me.'

"As you wish." He finished.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

Sai and Sakura was walking after Sakura treated him to Dango because he saved her back from the waves mission.

'Why did she treat me anyways? Dickless and Emo would've done the same thing. That's what teammates are for so why is ugly treating this hell like it's a big idea? Why—'

"Hey, Sai!" She called out.

His train of thought was interrupted. "What, ugly?" He responded. "Are you serious?! I've been telling you to get weapons because you can't just use paint brushes forever!" She repatriated herself.

"I'd like to stick with what I have right now, ugly forehead." He refused. "Well...I just want you to have more of an advantage because what if your opponent is a Fire user like Sasuke? They could easily defeat you since you use paper. So having a weapon will be great because if they disarm you of your paper and paint, you can use your weapon! Plus they can be customized."

"Fine....only because I don't want to hear your terrifyingly disgusting voice nagging me to get a weapon." He smiles. Sakura was about to say something when someone jumped down behind her.

Sai quickly throws a kunai but was stopped by sand. Sakura turned around and disappears only to reappear next to Sai.

They (Sai and Gaara) engaged in a staring contest.

"What are you doing here, Gaara-San?" Asked Sakura. "Mother wants blood...." he murmurs. Sakura quickly understood what he meant and summons her sword.

She prepares a hand sign. Sai quickly made him self a sword. "Sakura No Kēn (Cherry Blossom Sword)!" A sword made out of cherry blossoms appeared.

"You know what, ugly?" He suddenly spoke up.

"What?" She asked.

"I don't need a weapon since I already have one." He smirks. 'Wow, he did a good job copying Sasuke's signature Uchiha smirk.' Thought Sakura as she nods in response.

"Ara ara....he's opposing to your proposition, mother. What should I do?" Gaara asks himself. "Oh! I know. Kill him...." he replied to himself.

Sakura sweat-drops and prepares for an attack.

And boy was she right. Sand shot up from his gourd and went straight at them. Now is the time to activate her jutsu.

"Ryuusha no Jutsu (Quicksand skill)!" She yells as a pool of quicksand in the ground is created. The pool is ovalcircular, and is of about 4 feet in diameter.

Gaara's non-existent eyebrows raised for a second and reverts back to nothing...as it should be. Sai nods and jumped straight to attack him.

Sakura concentrates some more and sucked Gaara (A/N: Not in THAT way.) deeper into the ground. Sai jumps in and slashed him only for him to protect himself with sand.

'We can't hit him like this!' Thought Sakura. "Do you think that you two pesky wannabe ninjas can defeat me?! I will not fail mother!" He laughs and got out of the sand easily.

"Are you THIS dumb?! I work with sand, you know?" He finished while quickly absorbing the sand that Sakura created into his gourd.

"Your mother isn't the one commanding you right now!" Sakura yells. She remembers what Naruto did in her last life to save Gaara.

Gaara twitched. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, HUMAN!!" Said...someone...this voice doesn't sound like Gaara at all...it was as if he's possessed...maybe he is.

"Why are you taking control of Gaara-san's body?!" She asked. "I am not controlling him. I AM HIM!" Said Shukaku.

"No, you're not! You're just a bijuu who's hungry for blood. Act more mature like Kurama, Shukaku!" She spoke up and suddenly closed her mouth.

She began freaking out. 'W-What if they took them to see Inoichi so he could read my mind?! No...my plan will be ruined....fuck...I hate my stupid mouth!'

"How do you know my name, human?"

"I-I....uh....K-Kurama told m-me..." she whispers.

"Kurama, eh? You're lying. He never tells anyone about our names because he hates us. You're an idiot trying to lie. Now tell me, who told you about me?" Asked Shukaku one more time as he gets closer to her.

"I'm afraid, I can't tell you that." She says as she glances at her hand. She stared straight into both Shukaku and Gaara's eyes.

"Then you'll have to die!" Said Shikaku as sand emerged and headed sat right towards her. She closed her eyes and smiles.

Something in Gaara froze. The sand stopped just inches from her face. "W-Why...are you standing like him? Why are you smiling?! You're supposed to be terrified!"

"I'm accepting my own death, that's why." She reasons. "....t-then...you'll have to die like him too." He replies.

He stretches out his arm directly at her. "Sabaku Kyū (Sand Binding Coffin)!" Sand shoots out at her and proceeds to crush her.

She didn't move. She just stands there looking at him with a smile. All she did was snapped her fingers and she disappeared.

All he heard from her was "Mizu Bunshin (Water Clone).". He cursed at himself. 'Damn her!' He thought as Shukaku/mother agrees.

"I won't fail you another time, mother."

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Thanks, Sai!" Said Sakura as she fist-bumped or bro-fisted her pale teammate who returns the favor. "You owe me a sketchbook, ugly." He replies.

Sakura rolls her eyes and took out a sketchbook from her scroll. "I knew this day would come so I prepared it beforehand." She response and gave him the sketchbook which he took.

"Of course. You're always over prepared, forehead girl." He smiles. Sakura pinches Sai playfully and agreed with his insult.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Hey, Teme?" Naruto suddenly spoke up.

"What, Dobe?"

"I...don't wanna argue right now because I'm nervous for the Chunin Exams, Dattebayo."

"Aa."

Translation: Why? You already know that we'll pass.

"I know that we'll pass but...I'm...just...you know, worried because...Kabuto and Orochimaru is here again...not sure wether we're strong enough to prevent you from getting the curse mark, Dattebayo."

"Hn."

Translation: It's true. We might not be strong enough to stop Orochimaru nor Kabuto. They both are an unpredictable source of evil after all.

"Right, Sasuke-teme!"

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

(A/N: This section isn't real...or is it? I don't know. You can think of it as a real thing or don't. This part is actually an idea from @rmparker78 on Sakura's Moronic Best Friends. I thought that it might be more interesting to put it that way...anyways, let me continue this chapter.)

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Hey, Teme?" Naruto suddenly spoke up.

"What, Dobe?"

"Don't call me a Dobe, Teme!"

"I only speak the truth while you speak lies, Dobe."

"FUCK YOU, TEME!"

"Uh...I would like to stay a virgin instead of mating with you, urusai (noisy)." 

"I AM NOT GAY, KUSOTARE (shit face)!"

"Whatever, Warugaki (Brat)."

"Kutabare (Go to hell), Dattebayo!"

"Nah. You do it instead, Dobe."

"That's enough." Said Kakashi as he pats both of the boys' head. "B-But—" Naruto was about to say sth when Kakashi closed his mouth.

"I said THAT IS ENOUGH."

"H-Hai, sensei." Naruto murmured feeling scared shitless. "Good! Now, let's get you signed up for the Chunin exams. Here's your form!" He finished saying his sentence by giving both Sasuke and Naruto a form.

"Thanks, sensei." Both of them said in unison.

"Okay, now get your forms signed up and give them to the registration office once you arrive at the academy."

"Thanks...again, sensei."

"Maa...that's what teachers do after all!" He finished.  "And...Obito and Rin's wedding will be 3 months from now. It's on hold since the chunin exams are coming up." He added.

"Aa..okay." Sasuke replies.

"Damn....I was expecting it to happen soon, Dattebayo!" Said Naruto disappointed that he has to wait for another 3 months for the wedding to arrive.

"I need to go now, kiddies! I need to give the rest of the form to Sai and Sakura." And he disappeared out of sight. Sasuke glances at Naruto and he did the same.

'Who was going to sign Sai's form...?' Was their thought since Sai is an orphan and never knew his parents. Plus, his brother is deceased. So who?

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Hey, kiddies! I'm not going to ask why you're in a tree but here are your forms." Said Kakashi as he gives everyone their form.

"B-But Kakashi-sensei, what abou—"

"It's already taken care of. Look at his form, Sakura."

She does what her teacher tells her to do and she sees a signature on it. She was about to ask her teacher about who signed the form but was cut off.

"I signed it since I know his situation, Sakura. Okay, now get your forms signed up and give them to the registration office once you arrive at the academy. Bye!" And he disappeared.

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

Kakashi reappeared in his apartment only to be tackled by a bunch of dogs that can talk. "You're finally back! We're hungry so feed us." The leader, pakkun...even though he's the smallest he's still considered a leader.

"Maa....is that how you treat your owner?" He pouted. The dogs look back at him in disgust and slowly walked back.

"Nevermind, I'll feed you all." And he fed them.

'....I wonder if they're ready....since 2 suspicious ninjas are found joining the chunin exams.....' thought Kakashi as he washes the bowls that the dogs ate from.

'I should stop worrying and have some faith in my team. I know they'll pass! That's a gut feeling.'

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

(A/N: From now on, the chapters will be shorter then before since...well...it takes a long time finishing the waves mission pt.2 because it has 7924 words! Form now on the chapters will be between 3000-5000 words and nothing more or less except for extra scenes. Goodbye.)
