Chapter 18 - Chūnin Selection Exam

-In the Middle of the Night-

[ Yuki-sama. I will seal the other power you've been acquired that time to bring your status back in 'normal. ]

'Okay, thanks Hana.'

'Master, we don't want to be rude or anything but from today or let's say until you leave the Konoha with Kakashi, you are not allowed to use an inch or even a drop of your power that's in the seal.' Darrion seriously said.

'What? But why?' I asked.

'Because even if you're fully controlled your emotions, your status are not. Your newly acquired power are beyond ours. if a person acquired a huge amount of power in an instant, it can cause damage in your status and mana that can cause it to leak and destroy everything around it even that person.' He explained as I gulped.

'Then, what if there's something dangerous happened?' I asked.

'Right! The Chunin exam! I can't save Jiji and fight Orochimaru with my current strength.'

'Hm, master can just teach Kakashi magic and let him be the one who protect the Hokage in your instead. Hana told us everything happened when we're not here. She told us that she trained your body for a week or something when you're meditating .' Kame suggested.

'Oh, that's right. Thanks Kame, I'll do it. I just need to tell him to put Jiji in coma or something so Tsunade can still become the Fifth Hokage.'

'Master, if something happened during the exam, we are there to help you so don't worry too much.' Heron said.

'Wait, didn't Hana said that she can't use chakra and they also said that she's like a magic user. I can't use magic now because you forbid me.'

'Don't worry, master. Hana and us can read your memories here and she said that she trained your body so she can help you. She also said that she you still can't use EMS because the time is short.' She said

'is that so? Then my training will be much easier. Thank you guys.'

-In the Morning-

I wake up in the morning, thinking about so many- no. I gout of of the bed and do my daily routine. Today is the day I'll meet Gaara-chan so I'm a little excited. I finish my breakfast and go out to start my day.

I saw Naruto also just go out and I decided to greet him. "Goodmorning, Naruto." I greet him and he turned his face to me. He looks so shock and maybe because I already waked up. He then run to me and hug me tightly that I could die.

"Yuki-chan!!! Are you okay now?! I'm really worried about you, y'know!" He shouted worriedly. I smiled a little because there are some people cared about me in this world.

"I'm okay, Naruto. But if you keep hugging me like this, I will die for sure." I said as he realize his mistake and release his hug. he seems a little red so maybe he is sick.

"I'm sorry, Yuki-chan." he apologized while rubbing his nape.

"It's okay, Naruto. But, are you okay? You seems a little red. Do you have a cold?" I asked as he's cheeks now turned into a tomato.

'This never happened in anime but maybe I changed something.'

"N-Nothing! Let's go before Sakura-chan scold us." He said stuttered a little. I just nodded as we walked.

'He is so weird today.'

-Mindscape-

"{ Guys. As expected, our master is still as dense as ever.}" - Girl Kurama.

"{ It's probably fine like that. I kinda like that personality of her. }" - Heron.

"{ It seems that bastard like our master. }" - Hebi.

"{ No! We will protect her from wolves no matter what! }" - Orson.

"{ That's right. They will get our master over our dead bodies. }" - Darrion.

"{ Hm. }" - Kame.

"Aren't they a little overacting?" Male Kurama whispered asked to Hana.

'[ No. I looked over Yuki-sama's memories and I saw that they are all like that from the start. ]'

Kurama just sweat dropped to their antics.

-Back in Reality-

We are now t the bridge as we saw the two there looking at nowhere.

"Good morning, Sakura-chan." Greeted Naruto and saw Sasuke as they looked at each other with an annoyed face.

"Hmph." They two looked away from each other.

'They are doing it again... these two have been acting weird since they returned from the land of waves. Wait...' Sakura.

"Good morning, Yuki-chan. Are you feeling okay now? You can have rest for the meantime if you're still not fine." Sakura said with slightly worry.

'Of course I'm still not fine.If you're the one whose keep meditating for a year, you will be okay? But I need to attend the exam no matter what. I'm still not sure if Sasuke will no follow Orochimaru like in the anime because he's still acting the same as before I confront him that time. My mission is to prevent Sasuke from having curse seal from that pedo but I'm still not sure if I'll be able to do that because with my current situation, I'm still basically a ANBU level something.'

"Good morning too Sakura-san. Thank you, but I'm fine now. I already have my rest yesterday so there's no need to worry.' I said softly while smiling at her.

"You can call me Sakura-chan, Yuki-chan." She said.

'She doesn't seems to have interest with Sasuke-kun so it's probably okay.' Sakura thought.

"Is that so? Alright, Sakura-chan." I said to her then start a conversation with Naruto until the three fall asleep.

'I still not like her but she's not that bad.'

'She's probably thinking earlier about me not having interest to Sasuke.'

-Hours Later-

The three fall asleep while standing because of Kakashi's lateness. I can now call her Kakashi only because I'm also his teacher from now on so, hehehe. But only when we're alone.

Seconds later, Kakashi appeared in front of us like nothing happened and said, " Hello, everybody. Good morning. I got lost today, so..."

"Your late!" The two shouted.

"Sensei, don't you have sense of location?" I asked.

"Hm, why is that?" He asked back.

"Because you're always got lost" I said.

"..."

'Hah! I made him speechless. How's that?'

Naruto then broke the silent as he said energetically that five visibly surrounded him, "Hey, hey, Kakashi-sensei! The team 7, have been doing easy missions, right? Isn't there a mission where I can play an active role, or something more... exciting? Something that makes 'my way of ninja' you know, and my heart you know, like this?"

'Can you give me a bit of your energy, Naruto? Sigh, where the heck did you get that never ending energy of yours?'

"Oh, I see, I see. I see what you're trying to get at." Kakashi said making his both hands in a 'surrender' post.

After that fiery speech of Naruto, he turned to Sasuke with anger?, mark on his face. Sasuke realize it and opened his eyes.

'Damn it. This guy tries to get me indebted to him during missions and take away all the good parts. I'm not going to lose to you.' Naruto thought determinedly while making a Taijutsu post.

'This guy...' Sakura thought irritated.

'Today...' Naruto thought as he starts to imagine him saving the 'pathetic' Sasuke.

The four of us started to leave as Naruto yelled, "I want to say something like that!"

"Hey, Naruto. What are you doing? We have mission." Kakashi said. it snapped Naruto from his imagination as we start to do our 'mission'.

The first is removing the grasses from the lady's backyard. As I know what will happen, I switched place with Naruto so he wouldn't 'accidentally' pulled the herbs out thinking of it as a grass and get pulverize.

The second mission is picking trash in the river. I didn't help this time because I know that Sasuke will help him before he actually fall. I also don't have any method can I help him so, oh well.

The third mission is walking the dogs. I actually don't like dogs because they will just attack you or come to you when they saw you. I can bear with Kakashi's Ninken (ninja dogs) because I know that they are different but that dogs, no, no, no.

'Naruto, you may rest in peace. I hope you will- no. I really feel irritated by their actions especially Naruto. I wonder if this is how Kakashi feels about them. Sigh.'

I looked up to Kakashi who's on the top of the tree sitting while reading his favorite orange book.

'On the second thoughts, never mind. He seems relaxing somehow and I really want to ruin it.'

After the incident, the two help Naruto to walk because of his injuries. I didn't help them because they said that I'm still recovering something and I like it somehow. The two is tarting to fight again because of Sasuke as Naruto got angry but Sakura stopped him.

"The teamwork is out of order lately." kakashi said lazily.

"Yeah! And you're the one who disrupts our teamwork, Sasuke!" Naruto blamed Sasuke.

"That's you, Usuratonkachi (Idiot or useless). If you don't want to owe me anything... Become stronger than me." He said seriously. The two stared at the eyes of each other.

"Stop guys." I said as they turn their attention to me.

"It's okay to have a rivalry to each other but if you have that kind of thoughts with each other, you will become more like an enemy to each other in the future than rivals. Think what you're thinking first before you take an action. Don't let your hatred with each other control you and make you a monster." I said as I walked away thinking about the new memory I gained.

After I knew that I'm now all alone, I teleported where the meeting about Chunin exam was. I already saw different Jonins and Chunins here that I don't know who they was.

'The meeting will start now.'

"I called you all here for a reason. You should already know why from the people who are here, though." Jiji said.

"So it's that time of the year already?" Kakashi commented.

"You have already reported this to the other countries? I've already seen few in this village." Asuma asked.

'Oh right. I still haven't met Gaara-chan.*pout*'

'I really wanted to know how can he able to speak properly with that cigarette in your mouth? Are you chewing that when you speak?'

"So? When is it?" Kurenai asked.

"One week from now." Jiji said seriously.

"That's sudden." Kakashi said.

'One week, huh? I can teach him for five days and I reserve the last day for my training. Kakashi will tell us about that tomorrow but we have test, remember? I still can train him while my clones are training so I have plenty of time. Kakashi is a fast learner so I don't need to worry. He will train Sasuke, a month before the last part of the exam begins.'

'It's quite funny to think that almost no all of the unknown characters here looks so... You know.'

"I will make the official announcement... Seven days from now, the first of July, we will begin the Chunin selection exam." Jiji announced.

'Oh right, so I don't have time to celebrate my birthday, huh? My birthday is tenth of July in when I was Sohma Yuki. I just followed that birthday because my other birthday is a little... I still can celebrate it but no one will be there because they are probably busy training their students.'

"Now that we're going to start the Chunin selection exam, those who are in charge of new Genins, step forward." Jiji ordered as Asuma, Kurenai and Kakashi step forward.

"Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma. Are there any Genins you wish to enter into the exam among the ones you teach? You probably already know this, but any Genin who has completed more than eight missions is eligible to enter the exam through your recommendations. But normally, those who have done twice that amount of are more suited." He said.

'Really? Are you really overestimating your Genins to participate the Chunin exam only because they finished eight missions? All they probably do is the D-rank or in short chores like babysitting. What does babysitting involves the exam? Are the questions in the written exam questions about what will you do when the baby shit their diaper? I know that Naruto and the others will do fine but what if they are not the one who takes the exam? Sigh. I need the old Shikamaru right now.'

"Let's start with Kakashi."

"From the team 7 I lead Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Megumi Yuki. I recommend those four to the Chunin selection exam under my name, Hatake Kakashi." Kakashi said.

"From the team 8 that I lead Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino. I recommend those three to the Chunin selection exam under my name, Yuuhi Kurenai." Kurenai said.

"From the team 10 that I lead Yamanaka ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. I recommend those three to the Chunin selection exam under my name, Sarutobi Asuma." Asuma said.

The other ninja's started to whisper about all the rookie this year will participate the exam.

"Please wait!" Iruka-sensei interrupts.

"What it is Iruka?" Jiji asked.

"Please let me speak, Hokage-sama. Excuse me for interfering, but the ten who had their names called were students of mine at the academy. Everyone of them is talented, but it's too early! They need more experience before they enter the exam!" Iruka-sensei explained.

"I because a Chunin when I was six years younger than Naruto." Kakashi said.

"Naruto is different from you! Are you trying to ruin him? Also, Yuki just start learning about being a ninja. She still don't have experience surviving!" He shouted.

'Oh, thanks for the shout out.'

"They always complain during important missions. Putting them into a dangerous situation might be interesting. Ruining them is also interesting. Well, that was a joke. Iruka-sensei, I understand what you are saying, you must be upset as well, but..."

"Kakashi, stop." Kurenai tried to stop him but he still continued it.

"Don't interfere! They are no longer your students. They are my subordinates now." Kakashi continued.

'Wow, nice pick of words Kakashi.'

'What a troublesome pair.' Asuma thought with a sweat drop on his forehead.

"But the Chunin exam is also known as the..." Before Iruka-sensei continued, Jiji interrupts him.

"Iruka, I understand your argument. So, we will put the rookie Genins through a special preliminary exam."

"Preliminary, huh?'

-Next Day-

I woke up and got up of the bed. I will be late now but not in accident. I want to be late because I don't want to wait for many hours waiting for Kakashi. After I finished preparing, I teleported

"Your late, Yuki-chan." Said Naruto. I'm really glad I didn't get yelled because it will just hurt my ears.

"I'm sorry. I went to sleep earlier, but I forgot to set an alarm so I over slept." I excused and the believed it.

'This is what they called expert excuse, Kakashi.'

We wait a little more but It seems like Sakura is about to explode now.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why does that person always make us wait when he's the one who called us up?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, yeah!" Agreed Naruto.

"How is he going to compensate a girl who woke up late and had to give up blow drying her hair?" She asked furiously.

"I woke up late, so I couldn't wash my face or brush my teeth Dattebayo!" Naruto shouted.

'How dirty, Naruto.'

"That's gross..."

"Hey, gentlemen." Greeted Kakashi who's suddenly appeared.

'I'm lady, you know?'

"I got lost in the path known as life today..."

"A lie!" The two shouted.

Kakashi then jump towards us and get serious and said, "I'll get to the point. I recommended all of you to the Chunin selection exam, so... Here, take these applications." He said as he hand over the paper to us.

"Chunin exam?" Asked Sakura.

"However, the recommendations does not force you to take it. You can decide if you want to take it or not."

"Yeah! I love you, Kakashi-sensei!" Shouted Naruto as he hugged Kakashi that just pull him down.

"Only those who wish to take it are to sign the applications, and... Five days after that, get to school by 3 PM and go room 301. That is all." Said Kakashi as the three starts to leave, leaving me and Kakashi alone.

"So, can I leave now?" Kakashi asked.

"No. I need to talk to you." I said.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"I'll teach you about magic starting tomorrow until the Chunin exam none stop."

"Why? You are the one who need to train, you know?"

"No. I will train you because your Hokage is about to die on the third part of the exam because of one of his student." I said and he seems quite shock.

"Really?! Then I needed to tell him that." He said. He's about to teleport but I stopped him from doing that.

"Hey, prodigy. If you want to be in trouble, don't involve me in it, okay? What are you going to say if Jiji asked you where did you get that information from?" I said a little pissed.

"But if we don't do anything..."

"That's why I'm going to teach you. You are the one who's going to protect his from that threat. I can make you powerful enough to fight that thing or person, okay? I want to do it but I because I've been forbidden to use any of my sealed magic so, you're the one who's going to do it." I said as he just nodded.

"So, see you tomorrow in exactly 5 AM in the morning, training ground 7. If you didn't come in that time, I'll make sure that you'll never be able to see that book of yours forever. is that clear?" I asked as he nodded vigorously not wanting to his book to be gone.

"Also, have a five days off starting tomorrow, so no one can bother your training. Tell Iruka-sensei that you've already test me and I passed so I can take a rest for tomorrow. So, see you." I said as I teleported.

'Sigh, this is gonna be a long week.'
