Chapter 8: Playing the game

 

It seemed Sasuke's prayers had been answered. He finally sensed a team approaching them. He was about to announce it to the others when a kunai flew past him and cut Sakura on the shoulder.

 

“Lucky.”

 

Looking into the trees the team sees the team from the Hidden Rain Village.

 

“You guys again. I swear you guys never get tired of getting your asses kicked by us.” Naruto was tired of facing these guys. The last time he saw these guys was during the trip to the Tea Country to help Idate. If he could have it his way, he would never see these guys again. They were really annoying, and always had new tricks up their sleeves.

 

“This time it will be different.” The leader, the one who doesn't have his eyes covered talks. He still wears that funny mouth piece so his voice sounds muffled. “This time you will lose.”

 

Naruto and Sasuke get into a fighting stance. Already both are running through all possible means of attack. They know the Rain Nins will use illusions, and lots of them. But before either of them gets a chance to attack Sakura walks past them. “Let me.”

 

From behind she is a sight to behold. There is blood running down her arm and back, almost reaching her waist. Her fists are clinched, and there is smoke coming from her now healing wound.

 

“You sure?” Naruto grabs Sasuke's arm stopping him from approaching Sakura. He pulls Sasuke away from the group.

 

“Don't worry she'll be fine.” Sasuke hesitates for a moment, but decides to trust Naruto. Naruto would never put her in a situation he knew she couldn't handle, but that didn't mean Sasuke wouldn't be ready to jump in if he felt she couldn't handle it anymore.

 

“She's a great genjutsu user. She's also gotten pretty good with taijutsu since she started dating Lee. Don't worry so much, if she's in trouble she'll ask for help.” Naruto had experienced her genjutsus first hand, and on many occasions he would spend hours trying to get out of them. She was good, she was really good. She was also deadly. There were only two things that put her in a death to all state: when she was pissed or when she was protecting someone. At the moment she was really pissed.

 

Sakura and the Rain Nin's were looking at each other. Her anger just kept raising as the Nin's continued to mock and tease her. They under estimated her. The one they were really after was Sasuke, but if to get to him they had to go through her so be it.

 

“Hey Sasuke, can you do me a favor? Can you tell me when she starts using genjutsu?” Sasuke shot Naruto a confused look. Why would he need to tell Naruto when she uses genjutsu? Usually you either hear the name of the jutsu being called out or you can sense the jutsu being used.

 

Noticing the look Naruto got he felt obligated to explain. He didn't want the Rain Nins to hear so he leaned in close to Sasuke. “You see she's real quiet when she says the names. I swear at times her mouth moves but nothing comes out. She had to start doing that when we started training together. It was easier for me to get out of the illusion if I knew what it was. Also her control over chakra is amazing.”

 

If what Naruto said was true then this was going to be one interesting fight. Activating his Sharingan, Sasuke turned back to Sakura. “I'll let you know if we need to move.”

 

Sakura had finally come up with a plan in her head. The mocking was getting on her nerves and the faster she messed up the Nin's the better. Slowly reaching into her shuriken holster she pulls out a handful. She watches them go into a defensive stance. Being strong in genjutsu usually means being weak in taijutsu. She quickly lunges at the Nin standing in the middle while aiming her shuriken at the two standing at his sides. The two Nin's run to avoid the projectiles as Sakura begins to engage in a taijutsu match with the remaining Nin. Sensing the two Nin's approaching her from behind she grabs the one in front of her. Spinning him, she throws him at the other two.

 

Hitting the floor the bodies turn into mud. Crouching down Sakura begins to go through hand seals. She paused in the middle of her seals and looked behind her upon sensing the Nin's appear. She quickly turned back and continued her seals.

 

“Stop her!”

 

Two of the Nin's run at her, kunai's in hand. They both attack her at the same time, forcing her to spend her time defending and not attacking. Blocking an attack aimed for her head the Nin grabs her arm. Sensing an attack from behind, Sakura goes to kick the Nin, but he ends up grabbing her leg. Before she gets a chance to do anything the third Nin starts to climb out of the mud. A panicked look flashes on her face. She turns to look for Sasuke and Naruto, only to see them collapsed on the floor.

 

“I used a jutsu on them. They won't be waking up anytime soon.” Sakura turns to look at the Nin infront of her. He pulls out a kunai and twirls it in his hand. “It ends here.”

 

Sakura can't help but smile. “Yes, it ends here.” With a loud pop and cloud of smoke the girl in front of them disappears. Before they can even register what happened, a pink flash runs past them hitting pressure points along their necks. All three Rain Nin's fall to the floor.

 

“That was nice Sakura.” She turns to see Naruto walking up to her with a smile on his face. He motions over to the fake Naruto and Sasuke lying on the floor. “You can get rid of that illusion.”

 

As Sakura goes about canceling the illusion Sasuke can't help but feel a bit jealous. It wasn't the jutsus she used, they were quite common, it was how she used them. She made the Nin's think she never finished her jutsu since she made no noise, when in reality she had done two jutsus. Her acting was great, as well as her timing.

 

“Hey Sasuke, get over here and help us find the scroll.” Coming out of his daze Sasuke walked over to Naruto and smacked his head.

 

“Do you want to wake them up before we search them?” Naruto was about to punch Sasuke when Sakura spoke up.

 

“Oh, don't worry they won't wake up for a few days.” Both boys turned to look at her. “Lee taught me. Oh look an Earth Scroll.”

 

“Yes!” Naruto can't help but hide his excitement. With the other scroll in their possession they could go to the tower. It takes the team a day to reach the tower. It might have taken longer, but they were not confronted by anyone. Upon reaching the tower, they enter one of the rooms. On the wall is the same poem as before. Not bothering to read it they simply open the scrolls and wait to see who appears.

 

As the cloud dissipates they see none other then Iruka standing before them.

 

“Iruka-sensei!”

 

“Ahh Naru….” Iruka is quickly tackled by the overly excited Naruto. Over the years the two had gotten very close. Whenever there was a problem that Naruto couldn't handle he would go see Iruka. Iruka never forgot to celebrate Naruto's birthday, even if there were those in the village who would take that day to be extra mean to Naruto. They would also celebrate the day Naruto graduated from the academy. Every year they would go back to the tree Naruto had received his forehead protector under. They would spend the day there, eating, reminiscing about the past and talking about the future.

 

Even though Iruka would remind Naruto of the dangers of being a ninja, and would constantly reprimand him for his bad deeds, he couldn't help but notice the growth. Naruto pulled fewer pranks then before. When he did they were no longer to get attention but to make someone feel better. Iruka also noticed that when Naruto would talk about the things he did on missions, he exaggerated less. When he would finish he would wait for Iruka to give him advice on how he could improve or praise him on his good choices. On many occasions Iruka would catch himself telling Naruto things his father had told him. Was he a father figure to Naruto? Only Naruto could tell him that, and Iruka was too scared to ask.

 

“Naruto, let Iruka-sensei get up.” Sakura was trying to pull Naruto off Iruka, but was failing miserably. It was then that Iruka noticed the blood on Sakura's clothing.

 

“Sakura, are you okay?”

 

“Oh I'm fine. It's already healed up.”

 

After making sure for himself that Sakura was fine, Iruka stood in front of his former students. “I'm glad you completed this part of the exam. You did it much faster then before. Was the forest easy this year?”

 

“No, we're just too skilled for it.” Sasuke couldn't help but sound overly confident in his comment.

 

“Sasuke, we're not that good.”

 

“Sakura it's okay, you three did very good.”

 

“Are we the first one's here?”

 

“Actually I don't know. Why don't you go into the waiting area and find out.” The three turn to leave, but as Naruto walks past Iruka he can't help but pull the man into a hug.

 

--

 

When they enter the waiting area they find out they are not the first ones to arrive. The Sound Nin's from before are there. All three of them were covered in mud, and what seemed like dry blood. The one who had approached Sasuke before the start of the exams was looking extra pale. He had his hood jacket wrapped around himself tightly. The short red-haired Nin clung to him, helping him walk. The white-haired Nin walked in front of the two, as if shielding them. The Sound Nin's finally notice the presence of Team 7 and they all turn to stare at each other. The white-haired Nin starts walking toward Sasuke, but is stopped by the red head.

 

“Don't.” His voice is soft, almost innocent. If it weren't for the Sound emblem he wore one would have guessed he was from a peaceful village.

 

“Fine.” The white-haired Nin's voice was a sharp contrast to the red head's. It was deep, but void of any emotions. He turned and walked out of the room with the other two close behind him.

 

The team spent their time sitting and waiting to be called to the main hall. They took turns taking naps to regain some of their strength back. It wasn't until much later the next day that they sensed the presence of Kiba's team in the building. A few hours later they were summoned to the main hall. Naruto can't help but feel a little worried about Konohamaru. `I hope he's okay?'

 

Inside they stood in straight lines facing a large group of people. There was Tsunade, Kakashi, Kurenai, all the chuunin and jounin examiners. There was also a man wearing a black hooded cloak. Even though his face was hidden the team assumes he is the sensei of the sound. Sasuke can't help but feel a cold shiver crawl up his spine. `Is he looking at me?'

 

Looking around the room, surprise is evident on Tsunade's face. Only three teams passed the exam this year. “Well seeing that so few passed, I see no reason to hold preliminaries. I will now introduce the examiner for the third and final exam.”

 

She steps aside and one of the examiners steps forward. “My name is Genma. The tournament will be held in one month. Please use that month to recover and train. During the tournament there is one rule: there are no rules. If you are knocked out, killed or give up you lose. If I decide to end the match because there is clearly a winner do not argue with my decision. My decisions are final.”

 

He turns and takes a basket from one of the shinobi's standing behind him. “Now please pick a number from the basket. When I ask, please tell me your name and number.”

 

Before Genma is able to approach the teams, the cloaked Sound Nin raises his hand. “Um, Genma, I don't think I will be participating in the tournament.”

 

“Why not? Any injury you have will more then likely be healed by then.”

 

“I do not think a month will heal this.” The pale nin opens his cloak to reveal that he is missing an arm. Without warning the man who was wearing the black hood is standing next to the Nin.

 

“I'm sorry sensei. I was careless.” There is shame evident in his voice.

 

The Sound Nin's sensei shakes his head, dismissing the apology. Turning to Tsunade he asks, “Hokage-sama, may I take my student to the hospital?”

 

“Of course you may.” With that the two turn and walk toward the doors.

 

--

 

Sakura can't help but notice that the hooded nin's voice sounded so familiar. She knew Sasuke recognized the voice as well because as soon as the man spoke his shoulders went rigid.

 

Naruto recognized the voice as well, but unlike Sakura he knew who the man was.

 

“Sasuke was that…..” Sasuke nods before Naruto finishes his question.

 

“Is there anyone else who feels they cannot participate in the tournament?” When no one raises their hand Genma continues. “Then please line up.”

 

After everyone has pulled out a number Genma stands in front of them, clipboard in hand. “Please tell me your name and number.”

 

“Inuzuka Kiba, 4.”

 

“Hyuuga Hinata, 8.”

 

“Akimichi Choji, 5.”

 

“Haruno Sakura, 7.”

 

“Uchiha Sasuke, 3.”

 

“Uzumaki Naruto, 6.”

 

Naruto can't help but turn to look at the Sound Nin's. He was curious as to what their names were. The white-haired nin was to answer first followed by the red head.

 

“Tenma Hibiki, 2.”

 

“Shenron Ryo, 1”

 

After some final scribbling Genma turns the clipboard around so everyone can see who they get to face first.

 

(Block One)

 

Shenron Ryo

Vs.

Tenma Hibiki

 

Uchiha Sasuke

Vs.

Inuzuka Kiba

 

(Block Two)

 

Akimichi Choji

Vs.

Uzumaki Naruto

 

Haruno Sakura

Vs.

Hyuuga Hinata

 

“Ah shit, I face Sasuke first.”

 

“I'm gonna have to train extra hard with Lee for this.”

 

“I'm not on the same block as Sasuke.”

 

“I'll finally get to see Naruto in action.”

 

Tsunade waited patiently for everyone to memorize the chart. Standing next to Genma she looks at all the genins. This years tournament was going to be interesting. “We will see you in a month. You are now excused.”

 

The Sound Nin's immediately turn and leave, more then likely heading to the hospital. The two remaining teams wait for their sensei's to approach them before leaving. Kakashi follows his team home, he needs to talk to them.

 

“Kakashi are you going to visit?” Sakura was worried, he had been following them for some time now and hadn't said a word. Even though she could only see his eye, she was able to read his emotions quite well.

 

“Yes, is it alright?”

 

“Oh it's fine.”

 

“It's about him isn't it?” Sasuke's voice was cold. Not cold as in void of emotion, it was a different kind of cold. A coldness that scared Naruto.

 

“Yes.”

 

 

Five minutes had passed since arriving at the house. All four of them sat around the table. There was no food, no tea, no talking, just tense silence.

 

Naruto finally broke the silence. “That man, was he really….”

 

“Kabuto. Yes he was.” Kakashi finished the sentence for Naruto. He didn't fail to notice Sasuke lean back in his chair, crossing his arms and legs. He also noticed Sakura gasp slightly. She had recognized the voice, but it wasn't until Kakashi said the name did she finally realize who it was.

 

“I came here to tell you something important. Don't interrupt me until I am done.” When his students didn't say anything he continued. “As you may know Kabuto is now in charge of the Sound Village. He has approached the Hokage and asked to attend the chuunin tournament. She had to accept, as a sign of peace. He is not to be touched. Any aggression toward him can be taken as a sign of war. Konoha cannot handle another war. Even though it's been three years since the last attack, we have just barely started to recover.”

 

When he sighed deeply, Sakura took it as a sign that he was done and asked a question. “Do you think he'll seek out Sasuke?”

 

“He might, we don't know.”

 

“No he won't.” All eyes turn to Naruto. He's looking at the tabletop, but has a stern look on his face. “I won't let him. I just got you back and I won't let him take you away. Let's leave, the three of us. Train somewhere else for a month, somewhere he won't find us.”

 

Kakashi didn't really like the idea of hiding, but there wasn't much of a choice. He wanted to make sure his students were safe, especially Naruto. Some of the lost warmth was finally returning to his eyes, and Kakashi wanted to make sure it stayed there. “Sasuke do you object to that idea?”

 

Thinking it over quickly Sasuke shakes his head.

 

“Um, I had planned on staying and training with Lee. Especially now that I'm facing Hinata.”

 

“Lee can't come with us, he has missions.” Naruto didn't want to leave without Sakura, but she did need to train with Lee. He was the only one who could teach Sakura how to fight a Hyuuga. But he didn't want to short change her by forcing her to leave, but he also didn't want to leave her behind.

 

“I can have him stay here with me, so you don't have to worry about me.” Sakura saw the sadness in Naruto's face. As much as she wanted to go with them, she had to stay behind.

 

“Will he agree to that?”

 

“Sasuke don't act like you don't know Lee.” Naruto's comment made Sakura blush.

 

“So, guys, is it okay if I supervise your training?” Kakashi wanted to make sure his students would be prepared for the tournament. If Lee was anything like Gai when it came to teaching, Sakura would be in good hands.

 

Sasuke nodded.

 

“Can you ask Jirayia if he'll come too? I know there's more he can teach me.” Kakashi was relieved Naruto mentioned Jirayia. He had planned on inviting the hermit. There was only so much Kakashi could teach Naruto. Jirayia was a better-suited teacher for Naruto.

 

“Sure. When do you want to leave?”

 

“How about as soon as we tell Tsunade- no baachan.”

 

---

 

In the month before the tournament all participants trained, and hard.

 

Kiba and Akamaru could be heard in the forest at times barking and knocking trees over. Sometimes Shino would join him and help him train; other times it was Kiba's sister. Choji trained with his father, who was very proud of his son. He would repeatedly tell Choji that even if he didn't win, he was still proud at how strong he had become. Shikamaru would also help Choji train. Even though he said it was a hassle, Choji knew he enjoyed helping. Hinata trained with Neji. He helped her hone her skills. When she approached her father to ask if he would spar with her, he smiled and said “I would be happy to.” She had come close to winning on many occasions. At the end of each sparring match he would ruffle her hair affectionately and say “You've made me very proud.” Sakura trained with Lee. She asked him not to go easy on her simply because they were dating. Even though he agreed he did hold back in the beginning, but soon realized she could handle everything he threw at her. Her speed had increased dramatically, as well as her strength. She also trained to better her genjutsu. Even though he could not help her in that area, he would let her use him as a guinea pig.

 

No one had heard word of Naruto or Sasuke. It wasn't until two days before the tournament that Jirayia appeared telling Tsunade that the boys were fine and would be back in the village by the time of the tournament. When asked why he had come back early, he simply smiled and said “My research calls.”

 

--

 

On the day of the tournament Sakura, Hinata, Kiba with Akamaru, Choji and the two Sound Nin's were standing in the arena facing the monstrous audience. Naruto and Sasuke were not there yet, and Sakura was being to worry a bit. She remembered the entrance Kakashi and Sasuke made the first time and hoped they wouldn't do that again.

 

“Sakura, are you okay?”

 

“Oh I'm fine Hinata. This is my first time down here.”

 

“Mine too. But this is our chance to show everyone how strong we are.” Hinata paused for a moment, not knowing how to put into words what she wanted to say. “Sakura, I hope that after everything is done, the tournament I mean, that uh…..”

 

“Don't worry about it Hinata. Just don't disappoint me.”

 

Both girls stand there smiling at each other. Neither feeling the need to hold grudges toward the other. Both of them wanted to show everyone just how strong they had become. They were no longer weak girls hiding in the shadows of a clan or their teammates.

 

“Hey Sakura, where the hell is the rest of your team?” Kiba was growing impatient. The faster everyone showed up the faster they would get to his match.

 

“They're with Kakashi.”

 

Sighing heavily Genma chewed on his senbon. “That explains everything.”

 

--

 

Tsunade was sitting in her seat. Shizume stood next to her holding TonTon. Seated next to her was Kabuto and the black haired nin. He was no longer pale, although his future as a shinobi was uncertain. It's very uncommon for shinobi to continue in their careers after loosing a limb. Both Tsunade and Kabuto were decked out in their formal clothing.

 

“It seems like Sasuke-kun is going to be late again.”

 

“He'll be on time.” Tsunade was a bit worried. Kakashi did have a habit of being late.

 

“If you don't mind I'm must excuse myself for a moment. I will be right back.” Kabuto got up and walked away from Tsunade. She wanted to stop him, but she wasn't sure where he was going. He could be going to the bathroom for all she knew. The black haired nin stayed behind, so she felt obligated to stay put. She wondered if Kabuto was stupid enough to try something inside an arena full of Leaf shinobis.

 

--

 

“Make sure you watch the first match carefully Sasuke.”

 

“I know that.”

 

The two boys had just entered the long hallway that lead to the arena floor. As always Kakashi had been late. As they get closer to the arena they notice the silhouette of someone leaning against the wall. As they get closer they realize who it is.

 

“It's been a while hasn't it Sasuke-kun?”

 

“What do you want Kabuto?”

 

“Is that anyway to talk to me. I took such good care of you.” Kabuto had been moving slowly away from the wall as he spoke. He walked toward Sasuke completely ignoring Naruto. Kabuto would have continued his advance if it weren't for Naruto. He had decided to stop Kabuto from approaching Sasuke. It was starting to become a habit, shielding Sasuke.

 

“Ahh, Naruto-kun, good to see you again. I see you've gotten taller.” The obvious jab was ignored by Naruto, who just continued to stare at Kabuto.

 

“Cat got your tounge.” Reaching up Kabuto runs a finger along one of the lines on Naruto's cheek. Naruto refused to back down. He wanted nothing more then to break the finger on his face, he would not. He wanted to control his temper. He would not start a war.

 

“You used to always talk big. But if I remember correctly I almost killed you once.”

 

“As did I.”

 

Sasuke was confused. Had Naruto encountered Kabuto more then once?

 

“Yes, we underestimated you. Believe me it won't happen again. I'm surprised you haven't started changing …..” Kabuto leaned in to whisper the last part of the sentence in Naruto's ear. “….you know with the Kyuubi and all.”

 

“Shut up.” Naruto had meant for the words to come out strong and authoritative, but instead they came out strangled and low. He sounded weak and he hated it.

 

Without moving away from his ear Kabuto continued to talk at a volume only Naruto could hear. “Temper, temper. Anger doesn't suit your face. Now fear, that makes you look beautiful. I know you fear what you might become. I know you fear being alone. That he will leave again, try to kill you again.”

 

Sasuke had had just about enough. Whatever Kabuto was telling Naruto was scaring him.
He could see the boy was shaking. His senses told him Naruto was on the verge of running. Sasuke reached out to grab Naruto's arm, but upon touching him Naruto threw himself against the wall.

 

“NO!”

 

Sasuke was rooted to the spot. Never before had he seen Naruto so scared, so vulnerable. He didn't even notice Kabuto standing behind him until he started talking.

 

“Do you see how much he fears you? He knows you'll betray him again.”

 

“You know nothing.”

 

“Oh I know enough. I know you claim to hate Orochimaru and Itachi. I know you came to Orochimaru to gain power, even though you told everyone else you didn't. I know you will never stop thinking of Itachi.”

 

“Shut up.”

 

“I know you feel torn. Should you be friends with Naruto, or should you kill him? You are an avenger. You've lived your life for that. Do you honestly think you can just change so quickly? People like you are natural killers, your hands are stained with blood and will forever be stained with blood. With Naruto's blood.”

 

Kabuto lightly runs his hands down Sasuke's shoulder blades, reminding him of what he had there once. And then just as soon as it started it was over. Kabuto was gone. Both boys stand there silent. All their demons had been brought to the surface. All the things both had tried so hard to push down, to get rid of, to forget were out in the open again.

 

“Sasuke, what happened while you were in the Sound?”

 

“I don't want to talk about it.” If Sasuke died, and never told Naruto about his time in the Sound he would die a happy man. He didn't want anyone to know about his time there.

 

“Why not? I want to know.”

 

“It's none of your business!”

 

“How do you expect me to trust you when you won't tell me anything?!”

 

“I tried to tell you but you ran away.”

 

“You were the one who ran away, or did you forget already?”

 

“How could I forget, I almost killed you.” The words came out with more venom then Sasuke had intended. But now that he had said them there was nothing else he could do.

 

“Yes, how stupid of me.” With that Naruto simply turned and walked toward the forgotten arena leaving Sasuke behind. As he enters the arena he throws Sakura a huge, cheesy smile. He didn't want her to worry.

 

Sasuke just stood there watching Naruto walk away. `How could I have been so stupid?' He had played right into Kabuto's little game. Everything he had worked so hard to mend over the past month, gone. Anger getting the best of him Sasuke rammed his hand into the wall, chidiori and all.

 

Within the arena everyone turned at the sound of the chidiori and the flash of light coming from the hallway.

 

“Naruto did you…..” Sakura didn't finish her sentence when she noticed that Naruto hadn't turned around to look. Instead he had an angry look on his face. Shortly after she noticed Sasuke was now standing beside her, also very quiet. She felt their anger, it was almost crushing.

 

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

 

Wow that is my longest chapter to date……12 pages!! WOOT!!

 

Okay let me start by saying, I hate Kabuto. He makes an awesome bad guy and all, but the guys rubs me the wrong way. He's manipulative and mysterious. I mean look at how he manipulated Kimi. I hope everyone enjoyed the small action sequence with Sakura. I had a bunch of ideas for that battle, but I decided to save them for the tournament. Also in my fic Sasuke doesn't know about the kyuubi. Why you say, well it is kinda hard to believe that someone would have a demon inside them. At least I think so. Also Sasuke is only aware of Naruto meeting Kabuto once. He is unaware of the Sennin battle……….which was SO COOL!!

 

I know this chapter was a lot of talking, but I couldn't help it. I had a lot to say.

 

I introduced Iruka, and the names of the Sound Nin's……well at least two of them. The armless guy….he ain't coming back cause well I couldn't think of a name for him. As for the other two, Ryo is the name I took from Shinobi. Tenma Hibiki…..now this is an interesting one. I didn't steal the name from Genma or Ibiki. I did some research and picked those two names cause it means “Sound Demon”. Yeah chessy, but whatever.

 

For the tournament matches I plan on writing them all out. I already know who is going to win the matches and the tournament, its just a matter of how they do it. If there is a match you want me to write in extra detail, or a match you don't really care about let me know. I am going to write out the Sound Match, although it might be kinda vague.

 

I plan on having Shikamaru, Neji, Lee, Shino, and Gai in the next chapter. Oh yeah be ready. I might not update for a really long time, with finals and winter break. But please feel free to review. I really do take all reviews into consideration.

 

Sorry for the long author note. ::hides behind chair:: Anyway reviews, death threats, comments, hates, likes, addresses would be greatly appreciated.
