Chapter 47 - #47 Desert Hell NR.1

I went home and found 3 girls sitting in my living room playing Monopoly. I looked at them and they looked at me.

Sato: I'll go to bed then, darling. I hope you all have fun and don't take too long, school is back tomorrow.

Hanabi: Thank you, darling.

Suki: Thank you, Onii Chan.

Lewii: Thank you, Sensei Sato.

I went upstairs and took a warm shower first. I then put on new underwear and went to bed. About 4 hours later Hanabi came into bed with me.

Sato: And who won?

Hanabi: Suki, but I almost defeated her.

Sato: And did you all have a nice day?

Hanabi: Yes, first we were in the pool and taught Lewii how to swim and then we had something to eat by Teuchi and then we had a detailed look at your Monopoly and the game is great, but you still have to make me a ninja figure.

Sato: I'm glad you had fun with Suki and Lewii. Next time bring your sister along, Hinata will definitely be happy to play with you too.

Hanabi then moved under the covers and snuggled into my arms.

Hanabi: I love you, sleep well.

Sato: Me too, goodnight.

The next moment I went back to sleep.

5 months passed and the Chunin selection exam began.

In the first part of the exam, Shikamaru was in charge and I waited for him to complete his exam. And after I will then receive the examinees at Konoha's entrance gate. As usual, Kotetsu and Izumo have the honor of keeping me company at the gate, they were the gate guards for 90% of my career in Konoha and said goodbye to me almost every day.

Kotetsu: And Sato, do you think many will fail the first exam?

Sato: It's hard to say, but in mine I'm sure 50% of them will be eliminated. I will test their endurance and teamwork under stress. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to let them fight before the third round, otherwise 80% would have been lost.

Izumo: I heard that Shikamaru was overseeing the first exam with Temari. If there is something going on between this two, what do you think?

Sato: I say yes, one of you opposes it? I bet 5000 ryou that the two of them will get together later.

Kotetsu: I disagree, Shikamaru is far too boring for a woman like Temari.

Izumo: Fine, then I'll monitor the bet and receive a 20% commission from the winner, after all it could take forever until we're certain about the matter.

Sato: Agreed.

Kotetsu: Also.

Sato: They're coming, look dangerous guys!

Kotetsu and Izumo each quickly pulled out a shuriken from their bag. And they looked like they were about to stab someone.

Temari and Shikamaru easily brought 100 genin to my position.

Temari: Hello Sato, we're sorry that there are so many left, but your sister led many to pass in our exam.

Shikamaru: At least 10% were eliminated.

Sato: Don't be afraid they will despair in my stage.

I stood in front of the gathered genin.

Sato: Hello everyone, my name is Sato Senju and I will be the proctor for your next exam. I don't allow any questions, so listen carefully to what I'm telling you now. You have to get from Konoha to Sunagakure within 3 days. Each team receives 3 ankle cuffs from me, each of them weighs 20 kg and becomes 1 kg heavier with each passing hour. Which comes to about over 92kg at the end of the 3 days. The three ankle cuffs must always be within a 5 meter radius of each other. If they don't, your team will be eliminated straight away. However, each ankle cuffs can break this rule once for one minute. There are other rules, you have to hold the ankle cuffs together once every 5 hours, if you don't do this your team will be eliminated and every time you do this, 3 kg of weight will be added to your ankle cuffs. I will give you all 8 hours head start, after which my two assistants will pursue you and every team within 5 m radius of them will be eliminated. You are not allowed to kill, injure or attack anyone during the entire test. Did everyone understand the rules or are there still any questions?

A Grass Ninja raised his hand and asked, "Are we getting food for the trip too?"

Sato: Good, so you and your team are eliminated. I wish all the other teams that weren't as stupid as this one the best of luck in their journey. You can now put on your cuffs and at my signal your journey through sand hell will begin.

The genin each got an ankle cuff and went near their teams.

Sato: Everyone ready?

Most nodded.

Sato: Then the exam starts from now on.

And the next moment all the genin ran past me. Suki and the others gave me an angry look as they ran past me.

Shikamaru: I'll give Temari into your care then, Sato.

Temari: And remember our meal when I get back to Konoha.

Shikamaru waved his hand back.

Sato: So you're dating Shikamaru?

Temari: You could say that.

I raised my palm to Kotetsu and he handed me my money. Temari saw this and couldn't believe it. I then gave Izumo his 20% share and went with Temari to watch the spectacle.

Sato: Kotetsu, Isumo remember 8 hours and then get them.

"It'll be done, boss," they both shouted.

Temari and I then went in front of the front competitors. And put us in good viewing positions of them.

Sato: And what do you think of my test?

Temari: It seems well thought out to me. I would probably want to rip your head off, if you had done that to me.

Sato: That's just who I am, everyone will love me. Who do you think will win the race?

Temari: Do you want to lose the money you just took from your friend?

Sato: I'm betting on the team from Takigakure. And put all my 4000 Ryou on this team.

Temari: Why don't you choose a team from Konoha?

Sato: Are you afraid of losing?

Temari: Of course not, I bet on Sunagakure of course.

Sato: I took this team because they have a powerhouse on board.

Temari: Do you mean the little one with the blue hair?

Sato: She's a Jinchuuriki and can fly, so she'll win this round.

Temari: What She is also a Jinchuuriki like Gaara? We have to report this.

Sato: Let that be my concern, Gaara won't mind her taking part in the exam. And the girl just wanted to get out and make some friends.

Temari: She chose the best place for it.

Sato: She's similar to Naruto and you know he's too nice and dumb sometimes. By the way, she's not the only girl I'll be keeping an eye on.

Temari: Are there any more Jinchuuriki here?

Sato: No, it's about something else.

Temari: The first ones are coming and it looks like Konoha.

Meanwhile with Lee, Tenten and Mara.

Mara: Are you getting along Tenten?

Tenten: I've worn weights at Sensei Guy's training, but you're doing unusually well, Mara?

Mara: My beloved Sato was on our team for a while and with him we constantly carried 30 kilo weights. I think we should still hurry up, I don't know if I would survive the third day.

Lee: I left my weights in Konoha, so if any of you can't take it anymore, I'll give you a piggyback ride.

Mara: Thank you Lee, that's so sweet of you.

Lee gave Mara a thumbs up and continued to skillfully jump from tree to tree.

Meanwhile with Sakura, Ino and Choji.

Choji: Guys, we should keep track of the time and not just focus on running. I think it's been at least 4 hours already, we should take our cuffs together soon.

Sakura: I think Choji is right about his time analysis. The ankle cuffs have now become 4 times heavier and that tells us that 4 hours have passed, but we should make the most of the last hour, so that we don't have to carry unnecessary weight later.

Ino: I have a watch with me, I'll wait until 50 minutes are over and then let you know.

Meanwhile with Suki, Wendy, Daisy and Botan.

Wendy: Your brother is really a monster, why did he make the test so difficult?

Daisy: Woof, woof.

Suki: He definitely did that because Auntie said I can only use Mew in an emergency.

Botan: The 5 hours will soon be over, we should take our ankle cuffs together.

All three did this and their ankle cuffs became 3kg heavier.

Wendy: I hate your brother, even though I barely know him.

Suki: I think he'll make a lot of enemies today. We should keep moving throughout the night, so that we can reach Sunagakure tomorrow. Unfortunately, we haven't been to Sunagakure yet, so we have to rely on our experience to get through the desert.

Meanwhile with Kiba, Oku and Shino.

Kiba: You see, Akamaru manages to carry us all.

Oku: The only question is for how long, Kiba? At this speed we'll reach the desert today, but I think Akamaru won't be able to support our weight any longer.

Kiba: It'll be okay, right Akamaru?

Akamaru: Wruff, wruff.

Shino: We should give Akamaru a break from the desert onwards, so we don't have to carry him at the end.

Kiba: Oh, look, there's Sato and Temari up ahead.

Sato: Looks like Akamaru is in a good mood today, but I doubt he'll be able to endure what the three of them are doing to him for much longer. And here is only a quarter of their way over, but they are well on time. It only took them 6 hours to get here. Do you want to move forward, or should we see which teams come next?

Temari: Let's stay here for another hour or two, by the way, I haven't seen your favorite yet.

Sato: That's because she is already further ahead than Kiba's team. She arrives at her destination in about 2 hours. Shall we go greet them with Gaara then?

Temari: We can do that, but now let's see who the next teams are.

Half an hour passed and a team from Sunagakure passed us, closely followed by Suki's and Guy's team.

Suki: Look at my brother and his grin, I'll pay this all back to him later.

Sato: Suki, you're doing well, you're currently in 4th place!

Suki: You heard him, we weren't the first to pass him, let's move on quickly.

Temari: Your sister blew up our test, it's good to see her sweating so much.

Sato: Let's see if the three of them can keep up their pace for a long time, the difficult part of the test only begins in the desert. And orienting yourself in your desert at night can be very difficult. Do you know if there will be sandstorms over the next few days?

Temari: At most a few small ones that stop after 1-2 hours.

After another half hour, Ino's team and a team from Amegakure had passed us.

Sato: What do you think, should we greet the winner?

Temari: Is she there yet? Being a Jinchuuriki is really unfair in such trials.

Sato: I bet she's pretty exhausted, after all, she was flying her teammates around in a net.

I opened a portal to Sunagakure and Temari and I arrived at Gaara's office.

Gaara: Sato, your abilities are truly frightening.

Sato: Don't say things like that.

Gaara: Why are you two here already?

Temari: The 7-Tailed Jinchuuriki is taking part in the exam and should arrive here with her team soon.

Gaara: This could be a danger to us, thank you for this information.

Sato: The girl is not a threat, let's go outside and greet her team.

Gaara: Go ahead, I still have some paperwork to do.

Sato: And that's why I'll never become Hokage, just too little free time.

Temari: Luckily, otherwise every deal between the villages would probably be a bet.

Gaara: Temari what do you mean?

Temari: It's nothing special, he just lured me into a bet that I've lost now.

Gaara: Have you seriously bet who will win today?

Sato: Your sister saw the money I made in another bet, because she was dating Shikamaru and She really wanted to take the money back from me.

Gaara: Nee San is dating Shikamaru?

Temari: We'll just have something to eat together later, now don't make such a fuss about it.

Gaara: I'm happy for you Temari.

Sato: Let's go Temari or do you want the girl to get lost in the city?

Me and Temari went out to greet Fuu and her overseers.

Sato: Here she comes!

Fuu: Hello dear Proctor, are the three of us the first ones?

Sato: I congratulate you on completing the second exam. The other teams probably won't arrive until tomorrow, so you are the winners of this test.

Fuu: Do we get anything for this, like a trophy or a prize?

Sato: Not really, but we can go eat some sandballs with salamander meat. I haven't tasted them yet, but they are supposed to be very tasty. Temari do you know a good shop?

Temari: We should wait for Gaara.

Fuu: By the way, my name is Fuu and I would be happy to become your friend. Do you want to go bath together with me?

Sato: Temari probably knows a good mixed bathhouse too?

Temari blushed.

Temari: But then you have to visit without me.

Sato: That's okay, right Fuu?

Fuu: Really, eat first and then bathe, I like you both already.

Sato: Gaara is coming, I bet he wants to talk to your team.

Gaara: So you're the Jinchuuriki Sato was talking about?

Fuu's companions threw themselves directly in front of her with their kunai drawn.

Fuu: Was I too obvious? Can I still take the exam, please? I just wanted to make some friends.

Gaara: You may continue to take part in the exam, but I need to have a little talk with your guards.

Fuu: Thank you for allowing me to continue my exam. By the way, do you also want to be my friend? We're going to have something to eat and swim and you're welcome to join us?

Gaara: Thank you, but I'll refrain, maybe another time.
