Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Immortal Bitches ❯ Chapter: 3 One Week Later ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter: 3 One Week Later

 

It had been one week since Alex, Cassie, and Rouyakan showed up. They now knew everyone on Team 7. They all adored Naruto for his spunk. They thought Kakashi was a little crazy, along with Sakura, but they were still cool. Sasuke still hated Alex's guts, but Alex was intent on getting on his good side for whatever weird reason. Kakashi treated the girls like they were daughters instead of guest at his house.

Now all three of them were going to meet Team 7 this morning and of course Kakashi went off to do his own thing, so the trio went ahead this morning to meet up with everyone. They saw Sasuke there with his usual `I hate everyone, especially you' expression on. Next came Naruto, full of energy as usual, and last came Sakura, seeming tired.

“Okay, look, are we going to just stand around and let them get away with this? Why is it whenever we get called out, we end up waiting like dopes for the challenger to show?” yelled Sakura.

“She's right! Tell `em Sakura!” yelled Naruto.

“I mean, I feel so thin, I overslept, and I didn't even get to blow-dry my hair!” yelled Sakura, absently running a hand through her pink hair.

“What in the seven hells are you two screaming about?” Rouyakan growled, clamping a hand over each of her sensitive ears and looking at the two in a confused manner.

“We don't know!” yelled Naruto.

“Morning guys!” said a voice behind them. They all turned to see Kakashi crouching on top of a fence post.

“Today I wandered a bit from the path of life…”

“Lair!! Can't you come up with a better excuse then that?!” yelled Sakura and Naruto, pointing at Kakashi.

“Well I can believe that.” said Cassie

Kakashi beamed at her and continued his speech.

“In any case, this may surprise you, but I've recommended all three of you for the Chunin selection exam.”

“Nani?!” gasped Sakura.

“Good one, Kakashi-sensei. You almost had us.” said Naruto, taking the news as if it were a joke.

“All you have to do is fill out applications.” Kakashi explained as he handed out three applications to them. Naruto got a large grin on his face and launched himself at Kakashi screaming, “ Kakashi-sensei, I love you!” while Kakashi said, “Get off… you're embarrassing me!”

The girls began to laugh off at Kakashi getting glomped by Naruto. After the girls calmed down, Kakashi continued to speak.

“If any of you don't wish to compete, the exam is entirely voluntary, the choice is yours, and you needn't turn in those application forms unless you want to.”

“If you do, report to room 301 at the school by 4:00pm tomorrow afternoon, that's all.” And with that, Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Then the six of them began to walk home. Sakura seemed depressed. Naruto began to giggle like mad, and Sasuke had some semblance of a smile, which was more than they expected. The boys went ahead, but Sakura hung back.

“What's wrong, Sakura-chan?” asked Rouyakan.

“It's nothing…” said Sakura, barely above a whisper.

“Come on, you can tell us anything!” said Cassie, slinging a friendly arm around her shoulders.

“Well… I don't wan to do the Chunin exams.” Blurted Sakura.

“Why not?” asked Alex. “I thought this was an honor to be nominated.”

“It is! But… I can't even keep up with Naruto in training; this exam would be too much for me.” Said Sakura, averting her eyes to the ground. “It would just be too much for me, I better quit now.”

“No! It won't be, plus we'll be with you the entire time!” said Alex with a smile.

“Isn't that against the rules?” asked Cassie.

“Let me see the application, Sakura-chan.” said Rouyakan, taking the paper from her.

Sakura handed her the application and Rouyakan looked over it.

“Nope, this doesn't say anything against non- humans helping.” said Rouyakan devilishly with a fanged smirk.

“So will be there to help you if you want.” Said Cassie reassuringly.

“Plus, Naruto will definitely need help.” said Alex

Sakura then laughed.

“Arigatou, I think I will do it now!” said Sakura, and she left for her house.

 

The next day, everyone was waiting on the bridge for Naruto to show up so they could explain why Cassie, Rouyakan, and Alexandria had showed up too.

“Is he here yet?” asked Rouyakan, annoyed.

“No, he's usually late.” said Sasuke, leaning back against the bridge rail.

“Great.” said Alex sarcastically. Then they heard a “Hey Sakura-chan!!” and everyone knew Naruto was here.

“Uh…hey.” said Sakura.

“Hey why are they here?” asked Naruto.

“We're here to help you guys.” Explained Cassie.

“Nani? We don't need help.” Naruto said, confused.

“Oh, yes you do, and plus we need to keep our skills up.” stated Alex.

“I agree, we'll probably need their help if one of us gets hurt.” stated Sasuke, the voice of reason as usual. Then he glared icily at Alex.

“I feel so loved.” Was Alex's sarcastic reply.

And so they went inside the building. No one seemed to see the three non-human/non-shinobi's enter. Soon they came to a crowd. They saw a boy in a green one-piece suit with thick eyebrows and a bowl shape hairdo.

One of the two guards at the door spoke, “Is someone as untalented as you really planning to take the Chunin exam?”

“Why bother?” The other laughed.

“Onegai, we're asking you… let us in.” begged a brown-eyed brunette with two buns in her hair.

Then one of them punched the two.

“That's not right.” whispered Cassie.

“Yeah, but we can't help them. We have to keep a low profile.” Rouyakan reminded her.

“That's just cruel!” said Alex, “She seems so nice for a shinobi.”

“I just can't believe they can't tell this is an illusionary trick.” Mumbled Rouyakan, being adept with illusions seeing as she herself used them.

Sasuke then stepped forward.

“That sounds good in theory… but you'd better let me through. And drop the force-field illusion you've created, while you're at it.” Said Sasuke, “I have business on the third floor, not the second.” Murmurs went through the crowd.

“So you figured it out, eh?” said the first guard.

“It was easy, ne, Sakura?” said Sasuke.

“Huh…?” said Sakura.

“You're the most analytical and the best in our cell at understanding the art of illusion.” prompted Sasuke, hinting at her to continue.

Now Cassie, who was near Sakura, said, “Aw, that's so sweet of him, don't you think?”

Sakura just smiled, regaining confidence, and then stated, “Of course I noticed it, obviously, we're still on the second floor.”

“Of course!” nodded Naruto. Rouyakan, who was next to Naruto, said “You didn't notice, you're just going along with the others.”

“Oh, shut up, you wolf.” Growled Naruto.

“Nani? Did you say something?” said Rouyakan absently, cracking her knuckles.

“Nothing! Absolutely nothing…” said Naruto nervously.

Then the three girls saw Sasuke and one of those guards go at each other.

Alex was about to go stop it when the boy who was trying to get into the classroom before jumped in between them and caught both kicks with his hands.

`He's so fast!! Those guys are going to need our help a lot more now!' thought Rouyakan quickly analyzing the odd boy's speed and talent. Then a boy with long hair and snow colored eyes spoke up.

“That's not what we agreed!” He barked. “You're the one who insisted we should avoid drawing attention to ourselves!”

“He was just stopping an unnecessary fight, that's all!” Shouted Alex. The boy turned to her and glared.

“Who asked you?” he sneered.

“No one you'd know, I'm just putting in my two cents, baka.” Alex angrily spat.

Then she turned and saw the boy who stopped the fight go towards Sakura.

“Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Rock Lee, you must be Sakura, aren't you?” he said. Sakura nodded dumbly, shocked.

“Would you like to go out with me? I'll protect to with my life!!” Sakura was taken aback. Cassie began to snicker and said, “Go for it Sakura, you could make him do stuff for you!”

“No way, you are not what I'm looking for!” said Sakura, quickly pulling away.

“Aw…” said Lee, looking utterly depressed. Then he turned and looked at Cassie, Rouyakan, and Alex and went up to them.

“You three are the girls living with Kakashi, ne?” he asked

“Yeah… What of it?” Rouyakan looked at the kid, wary. There was something about him… maybe it was just the bushy eyebrows, but still…

“You three are beautiful! If you find yourself in trouble, be sure to call upon my services.”

“Not on your life.” barked Rouyakan. Alex stepped heavily on Rouyakan's foot, making her yelp and say, “You bet your life on it! Itai… that really hurt Alex.”

“Guys, lets go!” yelled Sakura.

“We're coming!” called Alex, and the three of them went to follow Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto. They then entered a large room, probably a gym, and room 301 was on the other side. Rock Lee appeared out of nowhere, and yelled out, “Hey, you with the scowl… wait up” He yelled.

They turned around and Naruto had a shocked expression on his face. Sakura had a `holy shit, not him again' look, and Sasuke had a `are you serious?' expression on.

“You, me, here, we fight.” Lee got straight to the point. “I'm Rock Lee.” He then jumped down and pointed at Sasuke. “You're supposed to identify yourself before you ask for someone else name, ne… Uchiha Sasuke?”

“Oh damn,” said Cassie.

“So you know my name.” said Sasuke with a slightly bored expression.

“So do you want to fight me?” said Lee “I would like to see how my move will do against a descendant of the genius shinobi clan.”

“Genius my ass, kid. He's just an asshole.” laughed Alex, pointing at Sasuke. He glared at her.

Lee ignored that, turning his attention to Sakura, who began to blush, and began to shiver like someone hade drenched her with ice water.

“Sakura-san, I love you!” he declared.

Then Sakura began to spas and rant how she hated his eyelashes, his hairstyle, and fuzzy eyebrows that were too `nyeh' for her. She was now shivering violently.

“You're an angel!” said Lee, and he blew her a heart-shaped kiss.

“Aw, that's so romantic.” said Cassie

Sakura didn't hear any of that because she was to busy dodging the kiss and flipping out about it at the same time.

“Very nice, how about this?” he said and he blew multiple kisses and Sakura began to dodge them all, some easily and some barely missed her. Now Alex, Rouyakan and Cassie were on the floor laughing their asses off. The last kiss she dodged she had to bend over backwards, whacking her head on the floor to avoid it. She got up and yelled, “Stop throwing weird things at me! I had to dodge those like my life depended on it!”

Lee's face drooped, “You don't need to avoid them that much…” he said sadly.

Then Naruto got pissed off, but before one of the girls could hold him back he jump in front of everyone and said, “I'll fight fuzzy-eyebrows!”

“Hey, don't butt in!” chidled Sakura.

“Yeah Naruto, please don't fight right before the exam.” pleaded Cassie.

“Don't worry, it will only take five minutes, tops!” said Naruto cockily.

“Well don't fuck up and get your ass handed to you.” shouted Alex.

“I don't want to fight you.” said Lee nonchalantly, “I want to fight Uchiha.”

“Man, why is it always `Sasuke this', `Sasuke that'?” whined Naruto, and the two began to fight. Naruto charged Lee, who simply stepped to the side and tripped him, making Naruto scrabble for balance as he planted one hand on the floor, intending to flip himself upright.

`Damn, `fuzzy-brows' is good!' thought Alex, observing.

It was obvious (at least to the trio of girls) what the outcome was going to be. Lee ended by slipping into a semi-split and knocking Naruto's hand off the floor, then sprang up and gave a low, sharp round-house kick, sending Naruto crashing into the wall behind them, knocking him unconscious. Cassie ran over to him to check if he was seriously injured.

“I declare this now; you cannot defeat me.” Lee turned to Sasuke. “I want to fight Uchiha.”

Sasuke glared at him. “I accept your challenge.” Sasuke smirked.

The two began the fight. Lee's speed was amazing, making Sasuke sweat and forcing him to go on the defensive.

The girls had learned from Kakashi that in the Wave Country, Sasuke had used a special `bloodline limit' unique to the Uchiha clan: the Sharingan eye. Naruto and Sakura didn't realize it yet, but instead of Sasuke's usual cobalt eyes, they were blood red, with three black marks that looked like commas in his eyes. It was an amazing special ability, used to see through most shinobi skills and copy them too. Unfortunately, Sasuke wasn't used to the ability, having just used it, and he didn't really know how to use it to it's full potential. It was basically running on autopilot for him.

“Wow, he has the devil's eyes*!” said Alex.

“Nani?” Sakura turned to Alex.

“Uh… B-betsu ni, Sakura.” Stuttered Alex, covering up her slip-up as Lee managed to get through Sasuke's defenses and landed a flying kick in his face.

“Damn, that's got to hurt.' Rouyakan winced as Sasuke went flying.

“My moves are not Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu,” Lee explained as Sasuke righted himself.

“Nani?” Sasuke was confused. That speed wasn't a special ability or skill?

Over with Naruto and Cassie, Naruto was stirring.

“Wha' happened…?” he said, his speech a little slurred.

“Hold still, I have to perform a healing spell for you,” said Cassie, pushing him back down.

Naruto saw Sasuke go flying from Lee's kick. “Sasuke!” he yelled, ignoring Cassie and struggling upright.

Back with Lee and Sasuke, Lee continued his explanation. “Hai, as you must have guessed by now, my moves are solely Taijutsu, or hand-to-hand combat only.” Said Lee, putting his hands up, palms forward, “I see you have the Uchiha skill, the Sharingan eye. Although that is a powerful ability, if you can't see the other person's movements, it's useless!” Lee called. He seemed to disappear, and reappear behind Sasuke, giving a mighty kick which caught Sasuke in the back.

Sasuke went flying upwards. Lee suddenly appeared behind him and said, “Let me show you my `special' technique!” and started to undo the bandages around his arms, but a pinwheel shot out of nowhere and pinned the edge of one of the bandages to the opposite wall. Everyone turned and saw… a turtle.

“Stop right there Lee!” it commanded.

“Uh, Rouyakan, am I high or something? `Cause I think I see a talking turtle.” Alex asked.

“No, because I see the same thing, and I don't do drugs.” said Rouyakan as they watched the turtle scold Lee, who had landed and was standing in front of the turtle, head bowed.

Naruto came running up to them. “Uh, guys am I seeing right? That is a turtle, ne?”

Hai, it is Naruto.” Rouyakan said. Naruto began to rant that turtle's can't be shinobis.

“Sakura-chan, can turtles be shinobis?” asked Naruto

Alex saw the turtle glare at Lee, who began to freak out and rant how he wasn't going to use `that move'.

“I don't think turtles can be shinobis,” whispered Sakura, as confused as everyone else.

“Gai-sensei, please take care of the rest.” said the turtle. A puff of smoke went up and a guy appeared on top of the turtle in the most ridiculous pose any of them had ever seen.

“Ah, youth! The springtime of life!!” He exclaimed dramatically.

“What the fuck is this guy about?” Alex blurted, dumbfounded.

“Tell me about it.” Sighed Rouyakan.

“Hello Lee.” he said, looking down at the boy, who could've passed as a much younger twin of the man.

“He looks exactly like him only uber… everything!” said Cassie.

“Hey! Don't make fun of Gai-sensei!” yelled Lee at everyone.

“The hell I will!” screamed Naruto. “We don't know how to react because of all these weird things!”

“Naruto… stop talking.” Commanded Rouyakan.

“What did you say…!” Lee started.

“Cut it out Lee.” Gai said sharply. Lee turned to face Gai.

“Sir!” he said. Gai suddenly curled his hand in to a fist and punched Lee, sending him flying across the room.

“Can anyone say `child abuse'?” Alex joked. Gai then knelt in front of Lee.

“Lee… you…you…” Gai said, looking like a happy idiot. A background of a sunset appeared.

“Where the fuck did this come from?!” Rouyakan blinked and looked over at Alex and Cassie.

“Hey, don't look at me.” Alex pointed out, “I'm just as freaked out as you!”

“Sensei…?” said Lee, sounding like a lost puppy.

“Lee…!” Gai now had tears in his eyes.

“Sensei… I … I…” Lee sobbed.

“It's okay, Lee, don't say any more!” Great, now Gai was sobbing too.

“Sensei!” cried Lee as he ran to hug his sensei.

“Lee!!” cried Gai. Then a big wave came up and splashed around them

“Okay where the fuck did that wave come from?!” Alex was totally freaked out by now.

“My kami, how weird can this get?!” Cassie groaned.

“Hai, this is youth!” muttered Gai, embracing Lee.

“Oi, Rouyakan, is the turtle crying too?” asked Alex. Rouyakan looked at the turtle.

“Yes, Yes it is…” she said, thoroughly weirded out.

“That kind of situation isn't so bad.” Spoke up Naruto. The girls gave him a `what the hell are you smoking?!' look, and Sakura said “Baka! This is just too weird and freaky to be `not so bad'!”

“It's okay, Lee.” said Gai, “It's normal to make mistakes when you're young.”

“You're too kind sensei!” said Lee.

“Now do 100 laps at the training ground in the sunset!” said Gai.

“What fucking sunset?!” screamed Alex and Rouyakan at the same time.

“Hai sensei!” Lee saluted.

“Let's go!!” Gai pointed dramatically.

“Uh, you do know the exam is about to start in five minutes, ne?” said Rouyakan.

“Oh yeah…” said Gai, turning to Lee and saying, “Lee, I'm going to punish you for fighting and breaking a promise after the exam okay?!”

“Hai, sensei!!” said Lee, saluting again. Gai then did a pose that made the girls inch away from him.

“Do 500 laps!!” said Gai enthusiastically.

“Hai, sensei!!” said Lee, also enthusiastic for some strange reason.

Now all of them looked weirded out of their minds. Then Gai began to stare at them, more than a little lost in thought. Sakura noticed him looking and hissed, “He's looking our way!”

“You three!” he called, referring to Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. “Is Kakashi-kun doing well?” he asked.

“You know Kakashi?” Sasuke asked, confused.

“I don't just `know him'… people call us eternal rivals!” he said, smirking.

“That sounds so fake.” said Naruto and Sakura at the same time.

“Take that back! Gai-sensei wouldn't lie-- yelled Lee, but he was cut off by Gai.

“It's okay,” Gai said, “and remember, don't say it out loud. Show it in your attitude!”

Sasuke then began to stare intensely at Gai, but in a blink of an eye he was gone and reappeared behind all of them. Naruto and Sakura were really surprised and Sasuke was shaking like mad.

“The record stands at 50 wins and 49 losses.” explained Gai. “Let me just tell you that I'm definently stronger than Kakashi-kun.”

Everyone seemed lost in thought at that.

“How's that? Gai-sensei is amazing, isn't he?” Lee looked adoringly at Gai.

“Since Lee caused you trouble, let me apologize for him.” said Gai. “Lee and the three of you should get to the classroom soon.” he then threw a kunai at the pinwheel and Lee's bandage was freed.

Then he turned his attention on the three girls

“Well hello, and who is your sensei?” he asked. “I've never seen you three before.”

“Oh, um, we don't have one.” said Cassie.

“Yeah were just escorting our, uh…. friends to the classroom.” said Rouyakan.

“Well, when you're done that I could walk you home.” he said with glee.

“Uh, no thanks. We're going to meet Kakashi-sensei somewhere.” said Alex.

“No!! Even now my eternal rival has beaten me to three lovely girls!” he sobbed.

“Um, we're only 15.” said Rouyakan, using their human age equivalent.

Then he turned his attention back to Lee.

“Ganbatte, Lee!!” yelled Gai. “Farewell!”, and in a puff of smoke he was gone along with the turtle.

“Sasuke!” yelled Lee.

Sasuke turned to look at Lee.

“Let me say this before I go. To be honest, I came here to test my skills. I lied a while ago. The strongest Genin is in my team, I entered this exam to defeat him, and now you are one of my targets as well!”

Sasuke, during all this, continued to glare and shake uncontrollably.

“Prepare yourself for the exam!” called Lee, and he left. Naruto began to diss Sasuke.

“Shut up! Next time I see him I'll slaughter him!!” he seethed.

“Yeah right, you couldn't even land a hit on him!” laughed Alex.

“What was that, bitch?” yelled Sasuke.

“Nothing, nothing.” said Alex as she mounted her scythe and began to hover.

“Hai, now I just did a spell that make us invisible to everyone but to you, and you can hear us, but so can everyone else so we might be quiet for a while.” explained Cassie, who was also on her broom hovering with Rouyakan. They set off the classroom, and when they arrived at the doors and found Kakashi in front of them. “Yo. I see you all showed up. Good.” He called, giving his trademark one-hand salute.

“Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here?” Sakura asked.

Kakashi seemed to ignore Sakura, and continued, “See, in order to take the Chunin exam, you need a three-person team.”

“What do mean, sensei?”

Kakashi looked at them, “Sasuke and Naruto want to take this exam. So there was no problem with that. But Sakura, however, was reluctant to take it. I knew that if Sasuke and Naruto would've known that they couldn't get past this point without Sakura, they would've pressured her into coming, and she would be here against her will. But,” Kakashi said, “Since I didn't tell you, Sakura made up her own mind, and decided to come all on her own.” He smiled. Sakura smiled too.

“Well, ganbatte everyone. I know you can do it!” And with that, Kakashi opened the doors and Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura (along with the invisible trio of girls) entered Room 301 to take the Chunin exam.

“Really,” Said Alex, “I think they're definently going to nee our help. After all, we are smarter. And better looking, too!”

 

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hey everyone! It's Chibi Rouyakan again! Sorry there wasn't an Editor's Note at the end of the second chapter. I was suffering intolerable pain at 1:00am in the morning from a sinus headache. Damn allergies. Spring is great and all, but sinus headaches just are a bitch. I was literally pushing myself to stay awake and finish beta-ing the 2nd chapter. But I'm kinda better now. (I still have a headache, although mild.) Plus, I took some Maximum Strength Benadryl, so I'm a little slow on the uptake today, and probably left some mistakes in this chapter. Forgive me!!

Jan ne, minna!!
