Chapter 12: Final Exams

Tsuki POV
After two weeks of training with my chakra control and my one handed jutsus, I finally grasped the the handle of it. Today is the last part of the exams so everyone is meeting at the arena. I was intentionally going alone, but I met up with both Hinata and Kiba along the way. I'm currently walking with them and I could see that Hinata's still weak from her fight with Neji. I go to say that their fight was pretty brutal. I mean he almost killed her by using the Gentle Fist Style. Neji needs to get that stick out his ass because it's too far up. Then there's Kiba, he's not wearing his sweater today and he kind of looks attractive, but he's not my type he's too cocky, arrogant and flirtatious. Anyways he got beaten by Naruto and that kind of surprised me. Naruto literally farted in his face and used that to his advantage. Anyways were walking to the exams to watch the fights since we got eliminated from the past round.

I wanted to go alone, but I don't mind. They're both quiet right now, so it won't be as irritating as usual. I walked behind them ignoring their conversation about who'll win during the final round. I simply don't care and don't bother to find out. I only came to watch because there was nothing else to do around the village. We walked up the stairs and then down the stairs to three empty seats. The seats were next to Kotetsu and Izumo. We sat down and stared ahead looking at the standing participants who're in the middle of the arena. I don't see Naruto nor Sasuke. And it looks like that one Sound ninja is missing as well.

I just hope they arrive or else all that training would've been a waste of time. I see the other participants like Shikamaru, Shino, Neji, Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara. I intentionally grab my left arm softly as I see him. I used to feel light headed with a daze, my heart flutter, or receive butterflies when I saw the red head, but now I feel slight fear that he may harm me again. I still remember those merciless and bloodthirsty eyes when I fought him, the same eyes I thought were beautiful. Was I always blinded to see who he really was? Was I too much of a fool to notice his real purpose? I guess I was since I'm here with a unfixable arm that can't be healed or serve to help me during a battle.

Anyways I steered my eyes away from him, not wanting to look at him anymore. I sigh as I watch ahead waiting for the battles to commence. It's taking too long. I turn my head to the side as I see a flash of pink. I watch as Sakura sits with Ino not that far away from me. I guess they made up and became friends again.

Goody, now I'll have to watch my back for the fangirl duo who like to bully me.

I slump in my chair as I realize that everyone is getting along and I'm here in my own bubble of isolation. They're to ignorant to notice the pain of others, they'll never experience it. The pain to be neglected, hated, and mentally abused by your own parents. The pain to forcefully grow up, to skip your childhood life, to do intense studying, to live up to everyone's expectations. It's tiring trying to be perfect, when yourself knows that you're anything, but perfect. I'm a mistake. Nothing but a waste of space.

I look up and see the orange blob I call my teammate slide through the dirt and stop beside Shikamaru. I swear he likes to make a grand entrance.

"Run!! There's a stampede of bulls headed this way!!!" Naruto exclaims as he looks back to the entrance.

Bulls? Stampede?

"Stand up and present yourself to the spectators" Genma says.

"Huh" Naruto says obviously.

Not a second later the crowd around me roars in excitement and pride for the participants standing before us. I sit irritated as the crowd around me cheers loudly, I guess they really want to see the genin beat themselves to a pulp.

"Look at the changes" he says showing the fight schedule, "now if Naruto Uzamaki and Neji Hyùga stay here and the rest go to the waiting area" Genma finishes.

The remaining of the participants walk up the stairs and go up to the waiting area. I saw the two boys got in their positions and waited for Genma to start the fight. I look to the side as I Hinata fidget. I guess she doesn't want Naruto to end up like her.

-_-_-_-

I watch as Naruto and Neji wipe the floor beneath us. Multiple shadow clones running at Neji as they all attack head on. I watch as Neji smirks, he defeats all the clones without breaking a sweat. The real Naruto stands on the other side of the arena looking surprised that Neji destroyed his clones so easily. I narrow my eyes in anticipation waiting to see what happens next in this heated battle. I ignore all the murmurs and talk about how Naruto has no chance in winning against Neji, who's the prodigy of the Hyùga clan. I see the same thing repeat only this time the 'real' Naruto turned out to be a clone and out of no where Naruto comes and attacks Neji.

I watch as Neji beats Naruto to the ground by attacking his chakra points. I listen to the long talk of destiny and the cursed way of the Hyùga clan. I hear the round of insults that Neji throws at Naruto saying that he was never destined to become Hokage and how that's a stupid dream.

What?! What is this? It's sickening.

The feeling of this chakra, what is it? I watch as a flurry of orange chakra seeps out of Naruto in a form of a tornado. The tornado forms into a fox at the top. I stare at the chakra form in shock and surprise. It feels so evil.

"H-how? I blocked all your chakra points" Neji stammers.

"Heh, unlike you, I was called a loser" Naruto says before he charges with a chakra infused fist.

I watch as my eyes widen in surprise when Neji performs the Hyùga's secret jutsu, Rotation. I watch in anticipation as orange meets blue chakra creating an explosion at impact. The boys fly in different directions hitting the floor harshly. The crowd around me gasp in surprise and they lean on the tip of their seats in impatience, wanting to know who made it and who lost.

I lean in as the cloud of dust disappears showing a hand in the air. I watch as Neji climbs out of the hole he created. I slump in defeat as I see the results.

So it seems that Naruto lost.

I carefully see as Neji makes his way towards Naruto, he mutters something, but he's too far to actually make out his words. Suddenly Naruto springs up from the floor and punches Neji in the jaw, making him fly up to the air. I stare at the view in front of me with my eyes as the size of dinner plates, full of surprise.

W-whoa...

I'm left speechless, I never thought Naruto would incapacitate Neji useless. Neji falls to the floor unable to move. I watch as Naruto and Neji mutter last words to each other before the medics take the Hyùga away.

"The winner of the first match, Naruto Uzamaki" Genma announces.

The audience roars loudly at the victory they witnessed. I cross my arms and close my eyes as I shake my head. He always surprises us doesn't he? I thought as I find him running around the arena blowing kisses to the crowd.

The crowd becomes quiet as they become aware of the next match.

"The next match, Sasuke Uchiha vs. Gaara of the Desert" Genma says, but a man jumps to the arena besides him whispering into his ear before vanishing.

"It seems that the Hokage moved the this match to the very end. Anyways, moving on. Will Shino Aburame and Kankuro please step down" Genma informs us as he calls the next match.

"Uh, proctor I-I forfeit" Kankuro announces.

What?! What is he thinking? Is he up to something?

I narrow my eyes at the Sand Siblings as the crowd shouts in confusion and irritation that there won't be a match to watch. I finally realize that there's something off about this event. I look around the audience and I spot ANBU. What are they doing here? And why?

I snap back to reality as I hear Hinata coughing wildly. I panic since I didn't really learn how to wield Medical Ninjutsu with one hand, that's too advanced. Like ANBU and Sanin level. The only thing I could do now is rub circles on her back to soothe her pain, but out of no where an ANBU walks up to us.

"Here, I'll help you, I know Medical Ninjutsu" he says.

"Wow really?! That'd be awesome" kinda exclaims.

I roll my eyes at him as I lead Hinata up the stairs as she coughs. We reach the top and I lay Hinata on the floor as she dazes off, going to a light slumber. I watch as the ANBU let's a mint green glow on his gloved hand before it hovers above Hinata's chest. He finishes fast, well only experienced people could heal that fast. Well he's not ANBU for nothing.

"Wow ANBU are really great! Thanks for hea- Wait!!! What are you talking about Akumaru? We can't possibly know him? Wait! You're saying that the ANBU is Kab-" Kiba gets cut off as the ANBU knocks him out.

My eyes widen at the sudden action. I jump back, putting distance between me and the 'ANBU'. They don't just knock out kids. So that means this guy is an impostor. I go in the crowd and do hand signs with my right arm. I quickly transform into a older women with brown hair, slightly tanned skin, chocolate eyes, I turned my round glasses to rectangular framed glasses, and a white shirt with a purple long skirt along with black slippers. I lower my chakra to the level of a citizen. I walk in the audience and take a seat, but I still take glances making sure the ANBU doesn't find me.

Man, who the hell is that guy? Why is he dressed as an ANBU black ops? What's his intention? Is he somewhat tied to Kankuro's forfeit? What is the Sand planning?

-_-_-_-

Feeling restless I make my way towards the waiting area where the participants are located. I stay attached to the walls making sure I don't reveal myself. Right now we're in the time limit waiting for Sasuke to arrive or else he'll be disqualified. Apparently the Kazekage wanted to wait. That just threw my suspicions over the charts towards the Sand. They're up to something and I'm going to find out what it is? I snap out of my thoughts as hear a voice.

"Is he coming? Our plan isn't going to work if he's not here" a female voice says full of worry.

Temari?

"I don't know. Do you think he killed him? I mean look at him, he's already on edge" a gruffy male voice replies.

Kankuro....Plan? Who's he? And who killed who?

So they are planning something, but what?

I get cut off as the crowd roars in excitement as Sasuke arrives. I feel a deadly aura rise. I turn the corner and find Gaara glaring at Sasuke who's standing in the arena. The intensity of their glares give me chills all over my body. I turn back and I find myself face to face with the ANBU.

I duck as he sends a punch towards me. His fist hits the concrete wall in the place where I was standing before, barely missing my head. I act quickly by aiming a kick to his knee. It hits dead on, making him unbalanced and stumble a few steps back. I use that chance and throw a punch to his face. He quickly recovers and grabs my fist. He grips the fist and tightens his hold. Unable to use my hand I quickly quickly kick him in his manhood. He let's go of my arm as he doubles over in pain. I raise my foot once again and kick him on the side of his head, making the mask fall off.

Kabuto?!

He looks up and smirks at me. He stands regaining his posture. That sly smile never leaves his face as he fixes his glasses.

"Ah it seems that little Tsuki-chan found out the truth" Kabuto says.
"So you were a spy all along? You're working with the Sand on whatever your 'plan' is, aren't you?" I ask in suspicion, wanting to know his motives.

"You were always the observant one, weren't you? I guess I can't blame you, I mean you were forced to grow up. You isolated yourself because of the pain your family caused you, along with the kids in your village always bullying you. You were nothing, but a useless waste of space" Kabuto says taunting me.

He wants to anger me, I would be lying to say that it didn't work because I'm seething with anger.

Who is he to make fun of my life?

I run, blinded by anger and throw a variety of punches towards him. More like, throwing punches at him trying to hit him, if I do, good, but if I miss I'll try again. I could hear his laughter which only makes me angrier. Finally, he kicks me on the stomach, making me fly to the wall behind me. I crash making a small crater around me. I groan and fall on all fours, making my knees ache in pain. I regain my posture as I calm down and stand up getting in a defensive position. I undo the transformation since its such a hassle to fight in a long skirt and ballet flats. The cloud of smoke vanishes revealing my white sweater, black mid thigh shorts, knee high boots with knee socks, my headband around my neck, and finally my pale pink hair in a pony tail.

"So the 'blooming moon' reveals herself. Now let's see what a useless girl like you can do" Kabuto taunts.

I get multiple shuriken from my weapons pouch and throw them at Kabuto. Once they fly towards him I quickly get a kunai and run at him. As I near him, Kabuto takes out a scalpel and blocks the kunai. We stand in front of each other, I quickly throw a fist at him, but he jumps away.

Tch, coward.

I run at him, only to see him disappear. I quickly look around the audience, but find nothing. I break from my search as I hear a bone chilling scream that's full of agony, sending chills along my spine. I look to the arena and see the current events.

"MY BLOOD!!! ITS MY BLOOD!!!" Gaara shouts.

I look away as I feel conflicted about the situation. But I quickly push that aside as I begin to feel drowsy. I feel as I'm about to sleep. My eyelids feel like they weigh a ton. I finally spot a fluffy white feather descending softly to the floor.

Genjutsu!!

"Release" I say as I perform the hand sign.

The drowsiness washes away and my energy comes rushing back to me like a wave. I look to the side and my eyes widen as I dodge a kunai, unfortunately I wasn't fast enough as I got a cut along my cheek.

Geez, I'm always getting hurt, I guess my parents are right, I am useless and weak.

I sigh pushing the negative feelings down. I quickly took my kunai and I ran up to the Sound ninja and thrust the weapon in his gut making him bleed. He groaned in pain and tried to attack, but I kicked his head and made him face plant to the floor. He rolls over with his back on the lying floor as he groans in pain. But it didn't last long since I crushed his throat with my foot, killing him quickly.

I see a box of purple in the corner of my eye, I turn and see a chakra barrier and my eyes widen as I see the people stuck inside.

So....Pedomaru made his appearance.

I devert my eyes and glance around at the audience seeing all the spectators sound asleep in a genjutsu that Kabuto made. I spot a blob of bubblegum pink along with a mop of silver gravity defying hair. I rush through the rows of seats running towards my sensei and sister as they dodge the attack from the Sand ninja.

"Kakashi! Why are the Sound and Sand attacking the village? Also why is Orochimaru on the roof?" I bombard my sensei with questions.

"Tsuki? I don't know, I guess Orochimaru is the one in charge of the attac-" he says for deflecting a punch from a Sound ninja.

"Sasu-" Sakura mutters before she realizes that he's not there anymore.

I know he's not there because I saw him run after the Sand Siblings for some unknown reason. He probably wanted to go finish the fight. But why is she worrying about him when our village is in danger. All this fighting and screams of anguish was the Sands and Sounds fault.

Their reason was to destroy the village! I swear when I see those siblings, I'll show them that messing with this village was a bad idea. I thought a clench my hands to fists.

Well that was chapter 12, yes I wanted to end it with a cliffhanger. Why? Because I'm evil, HAHAHAHAHA, jk. Anyways I hope you like the chapter, sorry it was a bit short, I'll try to update soon.
