Chapter 5- Seeing the Ghosts from the Past

Sakura caught up to the boys before they walked through the
doors that would take them into the battle arena. When they walked through the
doors, Sakura stopped just in the entrance of the door and couldn’t help but
feel her heart stop. She thought she could handle seeing everyone (she had
already seen Team 10 and Team Gai), but this was almost too much. Sakura could
feel her body starting to shake and her eyes started to get misty; she fell on
her butt. She didn’t care if she made this Jada person look even more stupid;
she needed time to get her emotions under control. Her sight of the arena was
cut off by Sasuke standing in front of her.

“Get up Jada! Now!” demanded Sasuke as he looked down at the
shaking form of his teammate. When she didn’t do what he asked, he decided to
get her attention another way. He was about to slap her, when his hand was
caught in mid-air by Jada’s hand.

“I’m fine, Sasuke. I just needed time to take in everything,
I mean it’s not everyday that we pass the chuunin exams. Come on, let's go,”
‘Jada’ whimpered as she got up off the ground, grabbed Sasuke's arm, and
dragged him towards the waiting Naruto. Sakura turned to look at the remaining
ninjas, and wanted to smack herself. Did she have to cause that big of a scene?
But it couldn’t be helped. Walking closer to the groups of gathered ninjas,
Sakura felt like she was walking into a graveyard. Feeling the sensation of
losing it again, Sakura breathed in and tried to calm her nerves; when it
worked she felt better for the worse.

She took her place within the group of awaiting ninjas. Soon
the Hokage would come out and inform them what the reason for having the
Chuunin Exams was for. Then they battle.

A battle to secure their places in the
next test.

Once the Hokage appeared and started telling everyone about
the exams, Sakura looked for the snake. Spotting him standing with the other
teachers, Sakura clenched her hands to stop herself from drawing her weapon and
attacking him. Now that would cause problems and she didn’t need anymore
problems than she already had. Taking her eyes off him, she turned to look at
everyone she had a one time called family. The sand siblings were here under
orders from their father, who was really Orochimaru. The two older siblings
feared their brother because of the demon curse inside of him. Gaara, Sakura
relented—he was so misguided in life, but his battle with Naruto would help him
understand where true power came from. They would be strong allies in the future
and she wanted to get a jump start by being Gaara’s friend after his battle
with Naruto. There would be time to think on that later, though.

Next, she spotted Team 8 and she had to laugh silently to
herself because Hinata was tapping her fingers together. She was watching
Naruto just like she always did. She wondered how often she watched him—she
didn’t notice the first time, but maybe this time she would watch her. Those
two did make a cute pair in the future and they both always drew strength from the
other. Hinata changed so much from the shy, timid girl she was now to someone
who commanded respect from everyone. With Neji’s help, her Byakugan became
almost as strong as his and he helped make her a stronger person. She
remembered all the times she and Hinata would train with each other or just
talk; man, could that girl talk when she wanted to.

Looking for Shino she found him watching from the sides of
his glasses sizing up the competition. She wished she had become better friends
with him in the future, but he never really let anyone close to him, after his
team member’s deaths. It would be just enough to know that he was on your side
and would be there to back you up. The bugs he housed in his body used to creep her out, but she got use to them after having to work
with him all the time. Kiba and Akamaru were the easiest to find because of his
fur coat. It was great to see Kiba again but she couldn’t wait to see Akamaru.
Akamaru had been by her side for two years, so it was going to feel a little strange
without him beside her. Lightly so that no one but Akamaru would hear she
whistled a comforting tune.

Hidden in Kiba’s coat, Akamaru was shaking from the power
radiating off of that Sand ninja. Besides the power, he could smell that his
skin and that gourd were drenched in blood. Trying to take comfort in his
master's presence, he heard a silent, comforting whistle that seemed to take
the fear out of him. The whistle: all will be alright my friend and be calm. He
didn’t know who did it, he would find out later, but for some reason he
believed it.

Already having seen the rest of the teams, she turned to
observe the other teachers. Kakashi seemed to be the same, if ignoring Gai was
any indication and his indifferent posture. She would have to be careful around
him; he always had a way of seeing under the underneath in plans. Gai was still
the same idiot, but people couldn’t help but admire his dedication to his
students. Team Gai was a force to be reckoned with in training or on the
battlefield. He was the one who got her to wear some weights under her shin
guards, but not as much a Rock Lee. Kurenai looked to be the same, but she knew
she was a tough teacher especially when teaching genjutsu. She was one of the
reasons Sakura was a mistress at genjutsu.

She already had meet Asuma and Iruka, but it was nice to see
both Anko and Ibiki. She may not have gotten to really know Ibiki like she
wanted, but she did pick up a thing or two from him from the last exams she had
taken. Anko was a woman who never let people get to know her, unless you earned
her respect or offered her sweets.

Sakura finally noticed that people were starting to take to
the sides of the arena. Had she really just spaced out that long? Turning
around to get up the stairs she saw that Sasuke was going to have his match
with Yoroi. Stopping next to her teammate she turned to face him, “Good luck
Sasuke,” and she took off towards the stairs. She knew he was looking at her,
she could feel his eyes on her, but all she did she was smile as she stopped
near her team. She leaned against the railing to watch his fight, even though
she knew who would win. She still wanted to watch the battles and hoped they
would go as they did before.

Watching Sasuke's battle was still amazing because with just
sheer will he forced the curse mark to recede. When Kakashi took Sasuke away to
seal the curse mark, she actually saw Orochimaru slip into the shadows and
disappear. ‘Now where could that bastard be going?
Definitely not to turn himself in; probably more on the lines of getingt information from his spy,’ Sakura thought. She
watched as the next couple of names appeared on the board, and as long as none
of them were hers, she was fine.

She decided it was time to go wash her face before her match
since Kankurou’s match wouldn’t last long. In the restroom she really got a
look at the girl she was impersonating, and boy was she different. Emerald
green hair, pink eyes and a body that didn’t eat enough; but she wasn’t any
different when she was that age. Looking up in the mirror she saw Ino looking
at her. “Can I help you?”

Ino looked at Jada and had known Jada since they were kids,
but she seemed so different. “Yeah, you can. What’s up with you Jada? I know
this isn’t like you. You’re not being annoying, so something’s up.”

Sakura turned to face Ino and decided that telling her as
close to the truth as she could would be better. “Well Ino, in the forest I saw
my own death and I didn’t like it very much. Then facing off against those
Sound ninjas, it really hit me that I needed to take things seriously. I need
to stop being a bitch and start pulling my own weight. But, overall I think I
was hit in the head too many times, so some screws are still loose. Does that
answer your questions?” Sakura then walked past Ino and headed back towards the
arena. She had a battle to tie.

Walking up the stairs, she caught the last bit of a joke
Naruto was saying and laughed. She stopped laughing when Kakashi’s hand turned
her head towards the board displaying the names. She looked up and inwardly
smiled, she was still fighting Ino. With everything going as planned, she
decided to have a little, harmless fun. She backed up and ran towards the
railing and jumped over it and gently landed. She looked up to see a couple of
surprised faces and when she spotted Ino as one of them, she cupped her hands
over her mouth. “Hey Ino, get down here. I don’t have all day.” Sakura’s battle
with Ino happened just like it was suppose to, except there was no real
cheering from Naruto and Rock Lee. She just had to poke and prod a little bit
to get her to cut her hair, but the results were what she wanted.

She woke up before Ino, since she didn’t really pass out and
watched as Temari and Tenten’s name appeared. That was a battle she wished she didn’t
have to watch, she knew how much those winds could hurt a person. Tenten’s
weapons weren’t any better, but she was still getting better, at this stage she
was just a little cocky. ‘Well, both of them are a little cocky at this
point. I mean Temari is easily a jounin and she needs to win to be in the final
rounds,’ thought Sakura as she watched the battle play out. ‘Did these
matches really take this long the first time? I can’t believe this and it’s
just the fifth match. There are still five more to go. This sucks!’

When the match finally ended, she was glad because things
were going according to plan. After everyone fought and was told about the
rules and who they would be fighting, she needed to talk to the Hokage. She
needed him on her side. She didn’t want to keep playing this Jada girl; she
wanted to be herself, just younger. It was time to finally face another person
from her past, but would he believe her? She just hoped that if not, she could
always tell him she knew about Itachi, but only as a last resort. She wondered
how Itachi was doing; he was probably traveling with that shark looking for the
demons. She would think on that later, she had battles to watch.

Authors Note:

So the preliminary rounds have started, and again, I didn’t
think people would really read the parts with the fighting. The next chapter is
when things get better and might answer some of your questions. When I started
writing this chapter, I was helping a friend out, who had lost a pet. Who knew
that later in the week, it we would be trading places. As you have noticed,
Jada isn’t a favorite among people and you will see why much later, but there
is a reason. I plan to write a side story explaining Jada’s
character later after the story is finished.
