Reunion of Shadows 10
Whispers bloomed anywhere
they went, eyes following their every movement. Naruto was grinning like a
maniac, arms crossed behind his head as he strolled in the corridor. Sasuke
smirked at his friend antics, simply walking alongside him, hands tucked in his
pockets. Naruto had kept his horrid orange and black outfit, but Sasuke had
changed. He now wore pants, long gloves; a short yukata
and a simple belt all of the deepest black. This outfit still displayed his
chest and the pendant he was forced to wear.
Naruto winked at a girl and
Sasuke had to refrain from pinching his nose, but understood the blonde. Naruto was finally the centre of attention along with him-
and for once it wasn't hatred or mocking looks that were sent his way. Dark
pupils carefully eyed the young girl following them who was completely ignored
by the crowd. She was their team-mate for now on, and even if the raven would
never admit it out loud, he always took care of his fellow comrades. Naruto,
being his usual self, tried to make her feel more at ease, making quite a good
job at it, as expected from the cheerful dumbass.
They opened the huge door
and entered the meeting room, everything becoming deathly silent as all the
attention locked on them, the tension growing one notch. The young girl
shivered under the intense scrutiny, inching closer to the blond. Sasuke would
have glared at her, but Naruto purposefully put
himself between them, rolling his eyes at the raven.
"Was it really
necessary for your third member to be a girl?" grumbled a familiar voice
coming from their right.
Sasuke tilted his head to
the side and half-smiled as his former team cleared a path to join him. The
crowd naturally parted for them, but radiated with mixed feelings of anger,
rivalry and fear. Karin, hands on her hips, glared at the brown haired girl now
almost hidden behind Naruto. Suigetsu snorted at that but a glance from Sasuke
prevented him from saying anything. Juugo was awfully close to the one he still
referred to as his leader, the tense ambiance of the room making him edgy and
worried. Sasuke squeezed his arm in reassurance but let go almost immediately.
"Hey don't worry, this
will be such a piece of cake," bragged Naruto to their young team-mate,
grinning, his arms behind his head.
The room's air went from
barely bearable, to not bearable at all. Naruto didn't realize but they were in
a tight spot. None were their allies, worse, they were
the main target because they were the biggest threat for all the other hopefuls.
Sasuke wouldn't be surprised if teams sided up
against them.
"Seriously why do we
have to pass such a pointless exam? Can't they just give us the title?" mumbled
Karin, pushing her hair off her shoulder in an exasperated movement.
"I wouldn't do that if
I were you," mentioned Naruto, scratching his nape as he saw it was too
late.
Sasuke had his sword under
a young man's throat. The latter, feeling insulted by the blonde then Karin's
words had attacked, intended on showing they weren't to be taken lightly.
Unfortunately, he had been sorely mistaken. His life was saved as Kurenai entered the room, Sasuke stepping away, Karin
giggling at having been protected by him, and everyone concentrating.
"I see the ambiance is
already tense for this Chuunin exam," greeted the young lady.
Her belly was growing but
not round enough yet for people to know for sure she was pregnant. She sat on
the desk, people too stressed by the exam to look at her pretty legs. Signs of
worry could be seen, people worrying their lips between their teeth, some
glancing to Sasuke and his team, other nervously tapping with their fingers or
legs.
"Now if you will
follow me please?" asked Kurenai, bringing them
to a strange place.
They hadn't left the building,
only went to a far corner of it. The room seemed huge, but they couldn't know
for sure since walls had been erected everywhere, even false ceiling, it looked
like a maze. Some lights had been installed but they were dreary, so it only
served to make the place look even gloomier, ready to bog you down. It reminded
Sasuke of Orochimaru's lair.
"You mission is to
find information that have been dispatched, you must find as many of them as
you can, of course that won't be easy"
At her words a team of chuunin waved at them, smug, before disappearing. Not loosing
anytime all the genin laughed in the maze, some
staying in teams other separating to enhance their
chances.
"I will prove you I'm
not a third wheel!" exclaimed Itoko, their third
member, before dashing, certainly aiming to bring back all the information on
her own.
Sasuke groaned. If she was
caught, it was the end of them. It must be her attitude that explained why she
had failed the Chuunin exam third time in a row while her teams-mate made it
easily the second time. And of course, they had to be stuck with that useless
kid.
"Don't brood bastard,
I will keep an eye on her, you find the clues ok?" afforded Naruto.
"Hn"
The place was littered with
traps, none of them being a challenge for him. To say the truth he was bored. It
was so damned easy to find the different information it hurt. Chuunin guardians
were easily evaded and didn't try that hard to catch them. And the fake
information were a piece of cake to ditch. But then he
knew he was an Anbu level ninja, so of course he
wasn't their objective.
He smirked when he heard
someone set up a trap, it was the end for him; the sound alone would bring the Chuunin to his location. He might be able to hide if he was
fast enough though. Not bothering to hide anymore, Sasuke
moved on, as silent as ever, his eyes scanning the darkness. He had to admit the
only tricky part was to remember where you where and what corners you had
already rifled through. Everything looked the same and you couldn't use chalk
or chakra to mark your passing, it would be a dead giveaway and you�d be caught.
He had memorized every
turn, every dimension and issues. His mental map was perfect and moved through
easily, adding rooms as he went on. He jumped onto the ceiling, sticking his
hands with chakra, as he distinguished a nasty trap at his feet. As he made his
way to the other end of the room, paying attention not to used
the more fragile parts of the roof, he heard a different sound under his
fingers. He stopped and, pushing with one palm, soundlessly dislodged the slab
and took the scroll hidden in the niche; another one took its place straight away.
So easy for him... but he knew other ninjas might have been too concentrated in
evading the traps to find this. He wondered vaguely how many you were allowed
to miss. He felinely landed in the new room and started meticulously searching
it.
"Naruto don't sneak up
on me," he admonished as he felt the familiar presence in his back.
"Don't lower your
guard," teasingly replied Naruto, whispering in his ear.
"I never do, moron."
"Prick."
"Dobe."
Sasuke gave a startled yelp
as he was shoved against the wall, a mouth covering his. He bit down hard and
punched the blonde, the latter angrily pulled away.
"Why? Trying to break me again, bastard? After all that fucking
time you come back to Konoha! But not for me, just your
so called revenge? But why Kakashi?
Since when did even give a damn about you! He still doesn't! I know he ditched
you!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes,
dodging the fist coming his way, but failing to stop Naruto from blocking his
arms and crushing him under his body, pinning him to the wall, a knee between
his legs. His breath was laboured as he kissed along Sasuke's jaw, even leaving
marks.
"You let Orochimaru
have you but you won't let me?"
Blood splattered everywhere
as Sasuke released himself and plunged his sword right in Naruto's heart.
"A genjutsu test? As excepted of you Kurenai-sensei, I�d call that a nasty one, however,"
he pointed out in Kurenai's ear, his katana pressing
against her delicate throat.
She blinked startled as she
hadn't felt him break her jutsu. She gulped, catching
the red Sharingan pupils in her own. He smirked; he was
so superior that her art couldn't hold a candle to his... useless, just like
she had been when facing Itachi.
"Congratulations
sensei," he said, sheathing his sword and stepping away, a tilt of his
head toward the woman's belly.
She put her hand on her
stomach and nodded, looking as Sasuke leaned on the wall, waiting for his team
members. He wondered what would see Naruto as he reached the last room and was
engulfed in Kurenai's genjutsu.
It would be a pity if he had to break in and save his sorry ass... well the
blonde's and Itoko's too. He sincerely hoped Naruto would have her under control.
His answer would come soon
as Naruto entered the room with the young girl right then, both froze as the
spell engulfed them. The raven waited to see how they would do.
"Fuck, that was
twisted!" exclaimed the blonde barely a minute later, making strange
faces, "good thing Itachi had such fun putting me in genjutsu,
because I might have had some troubles otherwise," he muttered grinning at
Sasuke and punching his shoulder, "worried teme?"
"In your dreams,"
he replied, a gentle smirk tugging at his lips.
Not wanting for Naruto to reply, he sent a wave of chakra through their
third team member, snapping her from the illusion. She looked shaken and lost,
Sasuke didn't spare her a word, he turned to Kurenai, one eyebrow lifted.
She held out her hand and
Sasuke gave her all he had collected, Naruto and Itoko added there part. Kurenai
nodded pensively; obviously they had been more efficient than expected: they
had been faster and had found everything without fail.
"We have to wait for
others to finish, in the mean time you can go back to the main room," she
offered.
They did so. Sasuke
settling on the windowsill, one leg dangling, his gaze
fixed outside. Naruto sat on a table, pretending not to watch the raven. Itoko sat on a chair not far from him, looking bored.
The raven tilted his head
and caught Naruto's eyes, the blonde holding his gaze then giving a nudge from
his chin toward Itoko. Sasuke nodded. The kid needed
that they dot the i's and crossed the t's. That was
Naruto's job, because the Uchiha knew he wasn't going
to be gentle... he was being gentle by letting the blonde do it in fact.
"Itoko,
we need to talk," started Naruto.
"What? Because I went without you? I needed to prove you that I'm
not useless or scared! You're both far above Chuunin level and everyone sees
you as a threat and all, so I know you just think of me of some useless
trash!" she said, huffing.
Naruto vigorously shook his
head and jumped in front of her, Sasuke pointedly looked elsewhere, rolling his eyes at what he knew was coming.
"That's not true! We
care for you! We are a team! Even if there are weaker and stronger teammates,
we have to work together and complement each other! Believe it!"
She bit her lips and
crossed her arms in front of her chest. She knew he was right and meant his
words, but she wasn't ready to accept them, she hid behind the pretence he was
lying and just saying that to shut her up. It was so easy to doubt those words
and not consider how she�d acted.
"What he's gently
saying is that you put the whole team in danger. What if you had been caught?
The whole team would have failed, furthermore in a real mission, when you act
without back up; you become a liability for those who care about you. You could
have been held hostage to make us kill each other," explained Sasuke, not
looking at her but feeling her tense and fidget as the meaning hit her, she
lowered her head.
Sasuke couldn't help but
half-smile, though not at her. She was already out of his mind... He was
thinking about the memory his words had brought. A memory of Kakashi's teaching
when he had tested them, how he had sat on his petulant proud self and showed
him his strive to prove himself had put everyone in danger. He could almost
remember the hand on his wrist, unforgiving as it twisted his arm, his foot on
his head, making him eat dirt, his weight on his back, just enough not to crush
his ribs. That was when he had really started to admire the man, really felt
his strength for the first time, seen how much he had hold up his power to
fight them. Even then he had used just a tiny bit of strength. That was what
had convinced Sasuke this man would be a great teacher, that and the words he
had told them latter... that and all his actions, his teaching, everything that
the man was.
"You're thinking of
him aren't you?" asked Naruto, leaning on the wall right next to him.
"Hn,"
he granted.
He owed Naruto that. He saw
blues eyes tint with sorrow, betraying the huge grin sent his way. He knew the
blonde had suspected it for a long time now, but he had just given an
admission. Naruto had always been really good at reading him. They still had an
intense bond... love in Naruto's end, deep brotherhood in Sasuke's. The genjutsu came back to him and compelled him to add:
"Konoha might become
my home again, because of the team we were."
He wanted to tell Naruto that he was a part of the reason he stayed, why he
hadn't destroyed Konoha, why he had came back. Not the only reason, far from
it, but if Naruto and team 7 had never existed...
Naruto smiled, a real one this time, and he
dropped an arm around his shoulder, giving a fast hug before stepping back as
Sasuke shrugged him off, smirking. The blond was strong and even though he was
in denial about his oversized ego, people were invariably drawn to Naruto's
gentle but determined personality. Too bad Sasuke was just as stubborn
otherwise he might have considered caving in and becoming Naruto's- if he
hadn't already set his sights on Kakashi.
He raised his head as
Suigetsu entered the room, teasing Karin mercilessly about her being stuck in
the jounin�s genjutsu,
certainly because she was having fun with Sasuke. Of course the woman tried to
beat the shit out of him and Juugo just ignored them
both, his eyes falling on Sasuke the minute he entered the room.
---------------------
Anko hadn't changed one bit, she was
still her usual aberrant self and her test was the same dangerous one. Suigetsu
was jumping from foot to foot in excitation, glee visible in his violet eyes as
he took in the wild forest scenery and the people signing papers before
receiving a scroll by team.
"No. You can't,"
deadpanned Sasuke as he stole the water-nin bottle and drank from it.
"But they signed the
papers! They accepted that they might die in the process and �"
"I said no," replied
Sasuke, smirking as he pushed the now half empty bottle back into his friend's
hands.
"You're spoiling all
the fun!" whined Suigetsu, teeth poking out.
If he wasn't allowed to go
on a killing spree, they this whole Chuunin exam thing was even more boring
than planned! He could see Sasuke was sadistically enjoying his predicament. It
seemed being worried about the raven was as useless as ever. He grinned from
all his pointy teeth and drowned his water.
"So what was that
anyway? An indirect kiss?" he wondered loud enough to have Sasuke hear
him.
"Turning into a girl
Suigetsu?" answered the raven, looking at him through his bangs from where
he was sitting waiting for his team.
Laughing Suigetsu mimicked melon sized breasts that actually
appeared under his clothes, pouncing, then started moving his hips in what was
supposed to be a seductive way, his watery breasts flopping up and down.
"I'm Karin-chaaaan and I wanna get into your
pants!" he singsong.
Then his head promptly exploded
in a myriad of droplets as Karin, who he hadn't noticed standing right behind
him, or pretended not to, punched him. Sasuke rolled his eyes as the two continued
pissing each other off and fighting like a ninja married couple... meaning with
fist and sharp objects.
Sasuke looked up as a
shadow loomed on him. Juugo was standing close to him, looking around. He
lowered his head slightly as he felt something tap his arm. A scroll and Sasuke was the one handing it to him, without even looking
up. He took it and nodded his demeanour suddenly relaxing and gratitude
tangible.
"Thank you," he said, his voice thick.
"I gave one to
Suigetsu and Karin just in case," replied Sasuke, standing up and dusting
his clothe as he made his way to his gate where Naruto was waving like the dumb
maniac he was to catch Sasuke's attention.
Juugo looked at his leader
leaving, gripping tightly the scroll in his hand. It was an emergency one,
something that would teleport Sasuke right to him if needed. He wondered if Kimimaro would have done that for him... because the more
he thought about it, the more he saw that Sasuke
wasn't merely Kimimaro's extension, rebirth. He was
much more than that and very different too. Kimimaro
had to fight him, Sasuke simply looked at him and that
was all, with him around, Juugo could live. He
rejoined his partners with his heart serene about his fate.
---------------------
Itoko had taken into account their words
and did her best to be useful but not in their way, she was pretty aware they
were going at her pace. They had to find a team having the complementary scroll
to them. They would encounter threes kinds of people: intelligent one that
would run for it, knowing they wouldn't stand a chance; stupid people thinking
they could take down Naruto and Sasuke and then teams teaming up to try and
take them down to gain glory.
Seeing how both men let her
work for it, she had a feeling they would let her fight for the scroll but step
in if danger arise. She was grateful for that, because they took care of her,
trained her without showing it, they considered her and that meant a lot.
Turning sharply as she
caught a sound she crouched down, Sasuke and Naruto following her lead. She
rolled her eyes. They had had to notice the presence of another team a long
time ago but hadn't said a thing. For all she knew they might have let her pass
quite a few team. Adults were so unnerving sometimes.
"So what do we do Itoko?" asked Naruto, gazing
at her fondly.
"Stop speaking so
loudly," she asked, not missing how Sasuke turned away to hide a huge
smirk as Naruto gaped and pouted.
She crawled toward the
noises, until she could see their enemy, making sure she was well hidden and
had masked her chakra. They had set a camp for the night, they were putting
traps around. She couldn't judge their strength but they seem to work well as a
team, that made them an opponent not to take lightly. Now
did they have guts or not? She went back to her team.
"They look well
organized, I think they are not to take lightly," she reported, "well
at least for me," she added in an undertone, "maybe we should just jump
in and see their reaction?"
"How about circling
them?" wondered Naruto, having lowered to her level.
"They are setting
traps so it might be tricky and seriously, we have to know if they will run for
it when seeing you or try to fight. If they run, well it's settled, they will
leave the scroll so we won't come after them. If they fight each of us takes an
opponent, and if they are too much of a team, well we will work as a team� or
you will just get rid of your adversary in the blink of an eye and let me
struggle with mine," huffed Itoko.
Sasuke turned again when
Naruto crossed his arms on his chest and sulked. She smiled; loving their
dynamics and how they let her in control of things while still testing or
guiding her. She stood and unceremoniously jumped right in front of their
adversary's camp. In barely one second they had organized, ready to take her
down.
"Alone?" asked
one of them.
Others were scanning their
surroundings to see if the rest of the time was anywhere near.
"Hey wait for
us!" screamed Naruto, landing next to her, grumbling about ungrateful
brats.
Sasuke gracefully strolled
in, gazing at the three they had to fight. The latter had turned white as chalk
and were exchanging frantic looks. Finally they threw the scroll at them and run
for it.
"Crap it's not the one
we need," whined Naruto before materializing right in front of the three
totally freaked out genin.
He handed them their
scroll, scratching the back of his head as he smile at them.
"Here you go, we don't
need it," he said, pushing the roll in the hands of the one that looked like
the leader.
"Naruto," sighed Sasuke, rolling his eyes.
The blonde trotted back to
them calling Sasuke names as they left the place, letting three thunder-stuck genins, still wondering how they had came out of this
ordeal unscratched and with their scroll.
Itoko decided they had to eat then travel
a bit more and set camp. They needed to near the tower, if they crossed another
team it was all good, otherwise they would just trick one once they were close
to the tower. She started a fire, knowing it was cleverer to let Sasuke and
Naruto hunt; they would make a switch job of it. She had to laugh at Naruto's expense though, as he began to undress to go
retrieve the fish Sasuke was killing. He had just
jumped in the cold water when Sasuke simply pulled out all his fish in one go,
having used thread kunai to kill them. Of course they started to throw insult
and banter, Naruto even dragging Sasuke into a playful fight, each of them
trying to trick the other into falling in. Sasuke was the one who cooked once
they finally stopped fooling around.
"Open that cup of
Ramen and I'm gutting you out along with the fish," warned Sasuke, as he
eviscerated a trout, his back facing Naruto.
"How did he
know?" shrieked the blonde, coming next to Itoko
to whisper in her ear.
"He's an evil bastard
isn't he? Maybe he has eyes in the back of his head? Wanna
check?" he asked her, his eyes sparkling at the promise of a good prank.
Itoko had just opened her mouth to reply
when the wind was knocked out of her. Naruto had grabbed her by the waist and
jumped backward, kunai in hand. A dozen Shuriken had landed right where she had
been and already Naruto was moving again, handling her carefully but without giving
her any freedom. Sasuke had leapt to his feet as well,
sword drawn ready to parry the attack that was coming his way.
