Prologue Revised : Newcomer

“N-no, papa, d-don't, p-please. Not the c-cats again.”

“Foolish boy! You must do this or else you won't become a great martial artist! If you don't do this, I'll have your mother disown you!”

(Grunt)

(Screech!)

“Gah!!”

“No!”

“Please! NO MORE!!!”

“NOOOOO-GRAHHH!!!”

(BOOSH!)

“Boy? What are you doing, get back in the pit you ungrateful child!”

(Horrible Wail)

“W-what's happen to you! Back away!”

(Slink! Slack!)

“Argh!!”

“Chunin exam?”

Kakashi nodded as he handed Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura three registration forms for entrance into the chunin exam.

“I've recommended you three for the exam, although it may seem like a bit of a surprise for you.” Kakashi said to the three before grunting slightly when Naruto tackled him from mid air.

Chuckling a bit when Naruto told him he loved him, Kakashi casually pushed Naruto off of his shoulders and said to them,

“This is totally optional, if you don't want to go along with it, than you are more than welcome to quit. However, I should warn you that if you do attend, there will be a lot of tough competition.”

`Like that spook, Gaara.' Sasuke thought fervently as he shivered a bit in excitement at the thought of fighting someone as strong as him.

Smacking his fist into his palm, Naruto grinned widely as he yelled out loud,

“Oh yeah! With this test, I'll show up everyone I am the best and become the fifth hokage!”

Sakura slightly scoffed as her inner self had an urge to cry out `Idiot!' and Kakashi smiled a bit before clearing his throat and saying,

“Well, I'll have to get going, see you guys later!”

“Lord Hokage!”

The old man grunted in acknowledgement as he continued to peer outside his window, occasionally smoking his pipe.

“The countries have all sent their representatives, all is ready for the chunin exam sir.” The jounin shinobi said to the 3rd Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village.

Sarutobi grunted again before replying,

“Good, are the preparations ready also?”

The shinobi rose from the ground and answered,

“Yes, Lord Hokage.”

Sarutobi nodded as he turned back to the window before the shinobi added another issue.

“There is one more thing, sir. It seems the cloud country's Shifting Shadow Village has also sent representatives for the chunin exam.”

The Hokage couldn't help but open his jaw in surprise as his mind apprehended what the shinobi had said.

`The Shifting Shadow village? I thought they separated their independence with all the other Hidden Villages. What could cause them to suddenly sent a team of representatives for the chunin exam after 12 years?' The Hokage thought as he tried to comprehend in it in his mind.

Coughing slightly, Sarutobi dismissed the informant and sat down on his desk, his face contorted with deep thought.

`What could the Shadow clan be wanting in the chunin exam?'

“Oh yeah, this is going to be great!” Naruto said as he rubbed together his hands fervently while walking along Sasuke and Sakura. While Naruto sported on an expression of pure joy and eagerness and Sasuke showed signs of impatience and anxiousness, Sakura seem to show small signs of uneasiness and uncertainty.

`Do I have to? But, if I don't take this exam, I might lose, Sasuke. How can I take this exam though? Forget Sasuke, I can barely keep up with Naruto!' Sakura thought unhappily. A sudden shout from Naruto woke her from her daze.

“Hey! I'll see you guys tomorrow! Can't be late for the exam afterall!”

Sakura couldn't help but smile a bit at Naruto's cheerful attitude. She turned to Sasuke and looked at him uneasily.

“Uh, see you tomorrow, Sasuke.” Sakura said. Sasuke nodded before walking away from her, leaving a sad Sakura behind him.

Gaara was sitting on top of a moonlit rooftop, his sand filled gourd next to him and not on his back as it usually is. His face seem to show indifference as he occasionally shook his head from a sudden jolt of pain that shot through his head.

The jolt of pains seem to make him more bloodthirsty as his expression turned evil at the thought of tearing into a body of a victim. He would kill all of them soon enough and then that is when his destiny would be fulfilled. Kankurou and Temari were just back-ups in case the power went to his head and accidentally made him unleash his beast inside, but until then, he chose to peacefully watch the moonlit stars until dawn.

His battle senses suddenly went alert as he felt a strong presence enter the Hidden Leaf village. Immediately scouting the area, Gaara saw a three genin type shinobi group enter through the entrance gates. His guard went down as he realized that they were most likely here for the chunin exam, but his curious was peaked as he wondered which one of the three caused his senses to immediately go on his guard.

From his point of view, they didn't look like much from appearance, but even he knew appearances were deceiving. From the builds of the three, they all seemed weak in comparison to himself and they all looked to be equally matched in skill, but the one in the middle of the group seem to be a little odd.

His chakra build up was extremely overwhelming, as if it was ready to burst from his body. Plus, he sensed that the boy was holding back his chakra build, and a lot of it too. His chakra was cascading up and down, as if they were controlled by their emotions and such. The only time he saw such a great chakra potential limit and build up was with the Sasuke fellow he met previously back during the evening.

If his observations were true, than the boy he was currently examining would most likely be a very strong being, even though his true abilities and techniques were not available for him to see.

Gaara smiled wickedly as he whispered lowly, muteki

“This might turn out to be fun afterall.”

(Tok Tok!)

(Book!)

(Grunt)

“Why bother?”

Two older kids were keeping a large group of younger kids from entering the room behind them. A spiky haired boy with indistinctive expression on his face held up a boy with a bowl hair cut and thick eye brows by the shirt. Snorting loudly, the spiky haired boy said to the others,

“Why would kids as talent less as you punks be allowed to take a test like this? It's a friggin disgrace!”

Another boy with a shinobi head mask beside the spiky haired boy added with a chuckle,

“Bunch of snot nosed sissy punks.”

“You said it!” The spiky haired boy commented. A boy from the background said quietly,

“That's just mean.”

The spiky haired shinobi seem to glare at the scared crowd as he said persistently,

“You misunderstand.”

“We are just trying to spare you from the horrors of this test,” The other boy said. “The chunin exam is extremely difficult - and we should know, we failed it three times!”

“There are people who made it, than immediately quit being shinobi, some crippled, others who have been turned into retarded freaks! Just think of what might happen to you if you try to become a chunin through this exam!” The spiky haired boy said before being interrupted by Sasuke who came from within the crowd with Sakura and Naruto on tow.

“Cut the crap, drop the illusion and let us through.” Sasuke said coolly. Both of the older shinobi glared at Sasuke before the spiky haired boy said,

“So, you figured it out, eh?”

Sasuke smiled as he looked at Sakura and said to her loudly,

“It was easy, right Sakura? You are the most analytical person in our team, at understanding the art of illusion.”

Sakura looked surprised for a second before giving Sasuke a smile and saying to the two boys blocking the door,

“Of course it was, it's obvious we are still on the second floor.”

The spiky haired boy snorted and replied,

“Well, figuring it out isn't good enou-Oof!”

The spiky haired boy grunted slightly when a dark looking boy with a ponytail bumped into his shoulder by accident. The ponytailed boy, however didn't seem to notice as he continued on his way with a taller boy and a beautiful looking girl. The spiky haired boy growled defiantly as he ran to the ponytailed boy and grabbed his shoulder hard.

“Hey! You bumped into me you little punk!” The spiky haired boy yelled loudly to the ponytailed boy. The boy didn't turn around, but demanded in a chilling voice,

“Let go of my shoulder.”

Choosing to rebel against his gut instincts the spiky haired boy pulled back his fist and launched it at the young boy's face. Expecting the fist to land, the spiky haired boy was extremely surprised when the ponytailed boy caught his fist with no strain whatsoever.

The spiky haired boy suddenly cried out in pain as his body started to convulse in different directions, as if he was being hit from every direction possible. The spiky haired boy fell to his knees as he looked down at the floor with a dazed expression. Looking up, the spiky haired boy caught a glimpse of the ponytailed boy's dark, bluish-gray eyes staring at him with disinterest.

“I told you to let go of my shoulder.” The boy said with no emotion. He walked away from the near-unconscious boy as he rejoined his group. The taller boy and girl nodded in acknowledgement as they walked away from the shocked crowd.

A boy with white pupils walked from the crowd as he said to the thick browed boy,

“His chakra flow is incomprehensible, I cannot read the vital points. We should watch out for him, he could be trouble.”

The thick browed boy nodded as he replied,

“His taijutsu skills are good. My eyes could not follow his movements.”

Sasuke smirked as he turned around and walked away from Naruto and Sakura, his eyes showing slight signs of interest.

`This exam - is turning into a real freak show.”

TBC.

I would continue, but I have to stop here. It's 12 : 00, I've got early plans in the morning, I just have no time.

The reason I changed, or revised, the first chapter, is because that the whole Master Black thing had no plot whatsoever. He is much too powerful for my tastes, and I would have no way to explain what his situation is. For a while, I thought I had something going, but I realized, it wasn't going anywhere. This new prologue will be the new start as Ranma is a young shinobi, not a century year old legendary master ninja.

Tell me what you think, Please R&R, Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Tell me whether you like it or not and I will try to make whatever changes you want me to make. Thanks for Your Support, Daniel Shinigami.

Ja ne!
