Also the whole Naruto stories will be split into different stories which are connected to the different arcs, this story combines the Chūnin Exams and the Invasion of Konoha arcs.

Chapter 1: - A New Chapter Begins

My foot landed on the branch for a split second before I pushed off again, leaping from branch to branch in the hopes of reaching my destination soon. The sun glared down on the land boiling anything that was caught in its' blinding rays, the clouds and shadows only gave little protection from the heat.

I look out from underneath the straw hat I wore, I saw the towering walls of the village entering my sight. I jumped down from the trees landing with silence. I darted moving faster than many could track, my steps kicking up small clouds of dust. I approached the entrance to the village and I began to form hand signs before reaching my chakra out to affects the guards at the gates.

I knew the barrier would sense my presence but I didn't need the guards to know about it, I had to get in quietly. Once I ran past the guards and hopped onto a building away from them I released the Genjutsu, giving back their sight. Adjusting my hat so that a shadow was cast over my face, I glanced down at the village. Citizens and ninjas walked about chatting with their friends or just being by themselves.

This place was different to any other place I had been no mountains or rocks completely covered this place and no sand swirled around in an endless storm. Looking up I spotted a large spherical red building near a mountain with four faces carved into it. At the front of the building was the kanji for fire, recognising my designation I started towards it.

Hearing a commotion I dropped onto a branch that was shaded by the leaves of the tree, I looked out to seem what was happening. Before me were a group of people, two boys and two girl who were roughly in my age group and two other boys and another girl all three were young children. One of the older boys wore a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wore a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead, engraved on his protector was a small rectangle and a gourd beneath it. He also had triangular face paint design, and he wore gloves and had a strange large wrapped object with a brown mass of spikey material at the top, on his back.

This boy held one of the younger boys by the blue scarf that he wore. The young boy had short spiky brown hair and black eyes he also wore a yellow shirt with a swirled leaf symbol in red, grey shorts, and a pair of goggles on his head.

"We've got a few minutes before he gets here let's mess with these punks for a bit," The one in the baggy suit suggested. A smirk rested on his face as the child he held continued to struggle in his grasp.

"Let go of me you jerk," The child cried out as he swung his legs out. But nothing came of his actions, expect annoying the boy holding him.

"You're feisty but not for long," The boy said as he tightened his grip on the child's scarf. This caused the young boy even more pain.

"Put him down!" A male voice rang out in anger. I snapped my eyes in its' direction seeing the other boy who was around my age. He had blue eyes and blonde, spiky hair, along with three whiskers marks adorning each of his cheeks. He wore an orange tracksuit with blue on the upper shoulders area as well as around the waist, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, a red swirl crest on the back, a large white collar, orange pants with a shuriken holster attached to his right knee, blue ninja sandals, and a blue forehead protector with the same swirl leaf symbol as on the younger boys shirt.

The blonde boy ran towards him, anger seeped off on him in waves. However the boy didn't get very far because he somehow fell backwards even though nothing had pushed him. I stayed extremely still not wanting to attracted any attention to me, but my body was already tense as I prepared to stop this at any point.

"What the… what was that?" The blonde boy exclaimed in shock. His eyes stared at the other boy who simply smirked.

"You're a Leaf Genin too. Looks like your village is full of wimps," The other boy said a smirk rested on his painted face. The blonde boy and the other two children called out Konohamaru obviously being the younger boy's name. The young boy was in pain that much I could tell. I remained still not even blinking as I watched the scene. Disgust towards the other boy growing at his cruel actions.

"That's it drop him now or I'll take you apart fool," The blonde cried out. I stared at him in amazement, an unknown opponent that had already somehow taken him down and this boy was still challenging him. Either he was stupid, brave or both.

"You're the fool! Making threats isn't going to help Naruto," A feminine voice said, annoyance coursing through her tone. I watched as a girl with bright pink hair and soft green eyes held the blonde boy in a head lock. I blinked in shock and maybe slight fear at the pinkette's temper.

"You're annoying, all of you. I don't like runts or any other scrawny weaklings, so when a wimp like this starts shooting off his mouth. I just want to break him in half," The other boy said. Shocked expressions crossed the blonde and pinkette's faces whilst the children sobbed in fear. I made a final decision and reach up into the tree easily plucking off a leaf with almost no noise to ensure that no one turned their attention towards me.

"Fine. I'm not involved in any of this ok," The girl with the face paint guy spoke up annoyance lacing her voice. She had teal eyes and blonde hair, which was gathered into four ponytails. She wore a single light purple-coloured, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she also wore her black forehead protector around her neck it had the same symbol as the face paint boy, a rectangle and gourd symbol.

"First I'll take care of this little squirt them I'll waste the other one," The boy said as he reared his arm back reach to punch the young boy. I sent my chakra surging into the leaf causing it to straighten and harden. I then threw the leaf however at the same time the blonde boy charged forward and something else hit the face paint boy's wrist along with the leaf causing him to release Konohamaru.

I looked down to see a rock led on the floor, confusion swirled through me as I glanced up in the direction the rock had some from. In the shade of the tree opposite me, sat a boy of my age. He was a fair-skinned ninja with onyx eyes and black chin-length hair, his hair was spiky in the back with bangs framing his face. He wore a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and white arm warmers along with white shorts and blue sandals, he also wore a head band with the swirl leaf on it.

"You're a long way from home and your way out of your league," The boy said as he tossed a rock up and down. I intrigued by this boy, he was calm, confident and he was handsome but his eyes held such a lonely essence and that was what intrigued me. His eyes glanced into the tree and they seemed to stare right at me, I made no movements as his eyes swept back down to the group below us.

"Sasuke-kun!" The pinkette cried out, joy partially drenched the name. I rolled my eyes it was obvious that this boy was the object of her affections.

"Oh great another wimp to tick me off," The face paint boy complained. Sasuke stopped throwing the rock and then crushed it in his hand.

"Get lost!" Sasuke ordered the two foreign ninja "And whoever is in the tree come out and show yourself," Sasuke added as he stared at where I sat. I smirked but remained still, as if I would actually move because of some handsome boy ordering me about.

"Hey punk get down here. You're the kind of pesky little snot I hate the most. All attitude and nothing to back it up," The face paint boy said. He pulled on the wrapped object removing it from his back.

"What are you going to use the Crow for this?" The blonde girl asked in shock. But it didn't seem to deter the boy who just stared at Sasuke.

"Kankurō back off," A dead, emotionless voice said. My head snapped in the direction it came from. There standing upside down on the branch on the other side of the trunk from Sasuke was another boy of my age. He had fair skin and short, spiky, red hair and pale blue-green eyes. He had no distinctive pupils or eyebrows but he did have two very notable traits in his appearance. He had tanuki-like black eye rings, and he had the kanji for love on the left side of his forehead. His forelocks were parted from the left side, making the kanji more visible. He wore a black full body suit with t-shirt-like sleeves, ¾-length legs, and an open neck. With this, he wore a white cloth over his right shoulder and the left side of his hips, and a wide leather band over the left shoulder and right side of his hips. With this leather band, he carried around a large gourd, he also wrapped his black forehead protector over the band

"You're an embarrassment to our village," The new boy stated. Everyone seemed shocked that he had appeared like that. I noticed that the face paint boy had a slightly frightened expression on his face.

"Hey Gaara," Kankurō greeted, a slightly nervous and tense note was present in his voice. Everything was tense after the boy's appearance, not one person dared to make a move.

"Have you forgotten the reason we came all the way here?" Gaara questioned Kankurō, shattering the silence. He seemed annoyed at the older boy's actions. I raised an eyebrow at Gaara's statement it seemed… suspicious.

"Yeah I know… I mean they challenged us, they started the whole thing really. See here's what happened-," Kankurō stumbled as he tried to explain himself his nervousness getting the best of him.

"Shut up! Or I'll kill you" Gaara commanded Kankurō, his voice never raised and his tone never changed from that dead emotionless tone. It was an eerie tone, as if he had never known any joy in this world.

"Right. I was totally out of line. I'm… I'm sorry Gaara, I was totally out of line," Kankurō apologised, but his nervousness never faded from his voice.

"I'm sorry for any trouble he caused," Gaara told Sasuke. Then he shifted into wisps of sand which flowed to where Kankurō and the blonde girl stood before shifting back into him. "Let's go we didn't come here to play games," Gaara said, but his tone left no room for argument as Kankurō quickly agreed.

"Hold on! Hey!" The pinkette called out as she ran forward allowing me to get a better look at her. She wore a red qipao dress with white circular designs, no sleeves, and a zipper, under that were dark green shorts. She also wore standard blue ninja sandals, and a forehead protector which she used to accentuate her face.

"What!" The blonde girl demanded an answer, annoyance laced her voice. The foreign shinobi had stop walking but they didn't turn around.

"I can tell from your headband that you come from the Village Hidden in the Sand. Of course the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies, but no shinobi can enter another's village without permission. So state your purpose and it better be good," The pinkette demanded. I rolled my eyes at her attitude, being as she came off as rather rude and nosey.

'They wouldn't be in if they didn't have a reason.' I thought annoyed at the girl's obvious naivety.

"Really. Have you guys all been living under a rock or what? You don't know what's going on do you?" The blonde girl asked in a patronising tone. She then held up a piece of paper with her picture on it and some information written as well "We have permission. Of course you're correct we are Hidden Sand Genin, our home is the Land of the Wind. And we're here for the Chūnin Exams. Get the picture?" The girl stated continuing in her insulting tone.

"The Chūnin Exams. What's that?" The blonde boy – I believe he was called Naruto – asked a confused expression on his face. "Well I've never heard of any Chūnin Exams. Believe it," Naruto stated still confused.

"Oh I believe it alright. That you're totally clueless," The blonde girl insulted Naruto. Konohamaru quickly explained that the Chūnin Exams were special exams that every Genin had to take in order to advance to Chūnin level. Naruto excitedly exclaimed he was going to take them. I cocked my head to the side this boy was… unique. That was the only possible word that could describe him. The Sand shinobi continued to walk on but Sasuke jumped down from the tree.

"Hey you identify yourself!" Sasuke called out to the three which caused the blonde to stop.

"You mean me?" She asked, a giddy tone underlined her words and she had a smile on her face. I shook my head at her infatuation.

"No, him. The guy with the gourd on his back," Sasuke clarified whilst pointing at Gaara. This caused the other two shinobi to stop and turn around.

"My name is Gaara of the Desert. I'm curious about you too. Who are you?" Gaara asked. But his expression and tone never changed despite his admission of interested.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke answered. At his surname I felt a chill run up and down my spine. Standing to my feet I decided it was time to go, a breeze ran through the area.

"I need to see the Hokage," I stated. Everyone whipped their heads in my direction but I ignored them and instead I jumped from the tree I was in to the other tree and then jumped again before anyone could see me. I raced over the rooftops of the village heading to the building. As I got closer to it I jumped down to the street level and walked to entrance, two shinobi blocked my path.

"I must see Hokage-sama it is urgent," I told them. They looked at each other uncertainty shone in their eyes. Then one of them motioned for me to follow him and I did. Along the way he explained I would have to wait as the Hokage was in a meeting.

Much time passed as I waited in the Hokage's office with the Shinobi that had escorted me when the Hokage finally arrived. He was a rather elderly man with light skin and he was of below-average stature with grey spiked hair and a small goatee. He had pronounced cheekbones, a few wrinkles, a wart near his left nostril, and a few liver-spots. He wore the official uniform of a Kage which consisted of the customary hat and haori, along with a red, full-length kimono that was tied using a white sash. He looked at us but didn't seem shocked to see either of us there.

"I was told I had a visitor. You may go now," The Hokage said, waving his hand. The shinobi left and the Hokage sat down at the desk "Tell me who are you and why have you come here?" The Hokage asked. He lit a pipe and stuck it in his mouth but his eyes never wavered from my form. I removed the straw hat from my head allowing him to clearly see me

"My name is Ami. I'm a nomadic ninja who has no ties to any village. However I am being hunted down for my unique fighting style," I told the Hokage. He nodded but waited for me to continue "I came here seeking protection from these people. Please accept me," I asked the Hokage. I bowed to him as a sign of respect.

"If you are truly in danger I cannot turn my back on you. I will allow you to stay here for now," The Hokage answered. I looked at him and let out a breath I was holding, relieved that he would let me stay. "You claim to be a ninja yes," The Hokage questioned. I nodded confused as to why he would ask that.

"Well then I'll assign you to one of the Genin teams temporarily for now as assessment and after the Chūnin Exams we'll put you on a permanent squad once your skills have been evaluated," The Hokage informed me.

"Hokage-sama you don't have to do that really," I said flustered that he would do something like that.

"It's quite alright Ami. After all you'll need to be protected if you leave the village," The Hokage answered refusing to back down. "Now here is your forehead protector and you'll be assigned to Squad 7 under Kakashi Hatake," The Hokage stated. I froze at the name, Kakashi Hatake was one of the most feared, respected and admired ninja in the entire world to be trained by him was… unthinkable.

"Now I'll send some papers down to sort out ninja registration, housing and funds for you, so go and wait down on the ground floor and good luck in the exams," The Hokage stated. I bowed to him and left the room.

*Naruto*

I let out a puff of smoke as the strange young girl left my office. Whoever she really was, was a mystery. I began to rifle through the paper work when Kakashi appeared.

"So you're assigning that girl to my team?" Kakashi asked confusion evident. I knew he might not understand my motivation but it was necessary.

"That girl is hiding something. I don't know if it is linked to her pursuers or if she's an enemy spy. We'll have to be prepared Kakashi, you'll be able to see if anything is wrong during her time with your team and during the Chūnin Exams," I explained to the silver haired Jōnin.

"Understood Hokage. I just hope it isn't a lie she seems like a genuinely nice girl," Kakashi admitted, before he disappeared. I hoped the same thing as Kakashi, I didn't want any more blood spilt but I had to protect the village even if the danger came from that unassuming girl.

*Naruto*

Myself, Naruto and Sakura were standing on a bridge that over looked one of the rivers that ran through the village. We're waiting for Kakashi-sensei to arrive and as usually he was late. But I could focus all I could think about was what happened two days ago, the only person I didn't see was that figure that jumped from the other tree. But I knew that person was strong they had charged a leaf with enough chakra to slice into the wood of the fence.

"Ah! Why, why, why is it always the same? He sets the time and then we have to wait hours for him," Sakura finally snapped as she yelled out. I wanted to roll my eyes at her stupid question.

"It's not fair," Naruto yelled out. I wanted to cover my ears to block out their annoying cries. But if that happened then the loser would just bug me about it later.

"What about my feelings? I rushed here so fast I didn't have time to blow dry my hair," Sakura ranted. I mentally sighed at that, why couldn't she focus on her training. All the girls were the same, all they cared about was their appearance. For once I wish I could meet a girl that actually liked to train and wouldn't fawn over me.

"And I didn't have enough time to brush my teeth and change my underwear," Naruto cried out. I wanted to slap the idiot for saying that, if only because it wasn't need.

"You didn't? That's really disgusting Naruto," Sakura informed the blonde idiot.

'First thing in the morning and they're already driving me nuts.' I thought in annoyance at my pathetic teammates. Then the sound of transporting came and I glanced up to see Kakashi had arrived.

"Hey good morning everyone. Sorry I'm later I had to pick up your new teammate," Kakashi greeted. At his statement I whipped my head in his direction, normally all his excuses were about bad luck, get lost or helping old ladies but never something like this.

"YOU LIAR!" Naruto and Sakura cried out. I went to stand with them still confused.

"Is it always like this?" A voice rang out from somewhere near Kakashi. I could tell it was female and it sound vaguely familiar.

"Yes it is," Kakashi admitted and then he jumped down. When he landed he stepped aside to reveal a girl behind him. "As you guys can see I wasn't lying. This is your new teammate Ami," Kakashi introduced.

The girl was about our age with porcelain white skin, long raven black hair which was tied in a braid, with a white ribbon weaving through it and wide cerulean blue eyes, her forehead protector was wrapped around her forehead. It looked like if you touched her too hard she would crack into a thousand pieces. She wore a light blue, circle necked, ¾ sleeved t-shirt over a fishnet undershirt. She had black jeans which clung to her legs, on her right leg was her shuriken holster and she wore standard black ninja sandals.

"Hey you three are the ones from yesterday," She said. I blinked in shock this girl must have been the one in the tree but if she was she couldn't be that strong… could she.

"Wait a minute were you the one in the tree?" Sakura demanded as she walked to the girl. Ami simply nodded her head.

"So you've already meet," Kakashi stated as he looked between us. He seemed relieved that he didn't have to introduce us.

"Not really I only know two of their names," Ami stated. Kakashi signed and told us to introduce ourselves.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to become the next Hokage. Believe it!" Naruto declared. But instead of saying something of disbelief or not acknowledging it, like normal… she giggled.

"I do. You have great potential within you," Ami said a small smile rested on her face. All of us remained stock still at the girl's statement probably not believing her. Naruto looked flustered and was speechless… for once.

"I'm Sakura Haruno," Sakura greeted in a polite manner. Ami nodded her head in greeting before turning towards me.

"Sasuke Uchiha," I said dismissively not wanting to be bothered by this girl.

"Alright Ami now I want you to introduce yourself, likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams of the future," Kakashi told the girl. I sighed mentally not wanting to here this girl's statement which was probably just like the rest of the girls.

"Well I'm Ami and I don't have a surname considering I don't know my family," Ami started off. But her comment drew my attention. I had noted that despite having a peaceful expression, her eyes seemed cold and distant as if she was somewhere far away.

"I like training, reading, learning new Justus and techniques and thunderstorms, I dislikes a certain person, my hobbies are training, reading, meeting new people and being out in thunderstorm or looking at the moon. My dream… I don't have one," Ami finished off. All of us stared at the strange girl as if we were unsure whether she was real or not.

"Well you're defiantly unique Ami and welcome to our squad," Kakashi spoke up, breaking the tense silence that developed. "Anyway I know this is a bit sudden but I recommended you for the Chūnin Exams all three of you and Ami you've also been recommended by the Hokage. These are the application forms," Kakashi explained and held out four piece of paper.

"Application forms?" Sakura asked in confusion. I noticed Ami roll her eyes as if she couldn't understand what Sakura didn't get about the application forms.

"You're repeating me Sakura. This is all voluntary, it's up to each of you if you don't feel ready you can wait until next year," Kakashi explained.

"Alright Kakashi-sensei you rock," Naruto cried out as he leapt forward hugging Kakashi causing them to spin around. I sighed at the idiots antics.

"Hey, hey don't slobber on my vest," Kakashi complained as Naruto finally let go of him. "Whoever wants to take the exams sign the application and come to room 301 at the academy. It's at 3 pm five days from now. That's it," Kakashi explained as Naruto eagerly took one. We all accepted one and then Kakashi left.

*Naruto*

I walked along the road with my new teammates, I could tell they were all different, especially Naruto. There was something about the blonde that I seemed to… understand.

"Hum Chūnin Exams. I'll be up against a lot of really wicked ninja," Naruto exclaimed as he stared at his form. I could see that he was hyperactive and he seemed to be full of confidence. I noticed that Naruto was glaring at Sasuke which the Uchiha returned.

'Please tell me this rivalry won't kill the team?' I asked kami hoping he would hear me. The two boys seemed determined but I noticed that Sakura didn't share their enthusiasm. I wondered if she doubted her own abilities.

"Sakura-san if you're worried don't be," I told the pinkette who looked at me "You simply have to find your strengths and build on those whilst making sure that your weaknesses aren't detrimental," I advised the Kunoichi. Sakura blinked for a moment before nodding her head.

"Thanks Ami," Sakura admitted as she walked on to catch up with the boys who can left us behind. I speed up to meet with them before we went our separate ways with five days left we had enough time to get to know each other.

*Naruto*

The next day, I headed to the training field hoping to get in some practice. I arrived to find the area deserted of all life except for plants. Tall trees stemmed up to the clouds making the canopies extend quiet far. Small rocks and boulders were scattered about whilst where were three stumps in front of me which were used for training.

"Alright. Time to begin," I told myself, pulling out a scroll I lay it on the floor and opened it up. I bit my thumb drawing blood and drew a line in the centre of a summoning circle before closing it back up. Tossing the scroll into the air I performed the hand signs for Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey and Ram, before managing to catch the scroll in between my outstretch fingers. "Summoning: Black Katana," I cried as I slammed the scroll to the ground. In a puff of smoke a katana appeared, it was 7 feet long, the blade was pure black and it had a round pommel. I picked the blade up and began to practice my kenjutsu.

Some time passed and I moved on to practicing with my kunai and shuriken when a twig snapped behind me. I tightened my grip on the kunai in my hand and tensed the muscles in my legs.

"Little girls shouldn't be out here on their own," A raspy male voice said behind me. I turned to see a shinobi from the Hidden Mist Village.

"And old men shouldn't challenge people they'll lose to," I told him. He charged forward. But as he closed in I kicked him in the stomach which sent him backwards. I quickly took the kunai and ran towards the man, I slammed into his legs with a roundhouse kick which knocked him down before I placed my kunai to his throat.

"Leave this village because the next time I see you I won't hold back," I told the ninja. To demonstrate my point and threw the kunai over my shoulder and it landed dead centre of the target. The ninja looked at me wide eyed before disappearing the minute I let him go.

"Smart man," I mused before resuming my training.

*Naruto*

The days passed quickly and soon the day of the Chūnin Exams was upon us. I was waiting in the academy grounds with Naruto and Sasuke as we waited for Sakura to arrive. Naruto was the first to spot her.

"Sakura hey you're late," Naruto called out to her alerting us to her presence. I turned and waved at the pinkette who returned it. Over the three days I had gotten to know a little of my teammates' skills. Although they knew little of mine except my skill with ninja tools and Taijutsu.

Sasuke was defiantly the more advanced in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, making him a good opponent to try new Justus on. Meanwhile Naruto specialised more in Taijutsu although he had surprised me with his Shadow Clones, his unpredictability also made him a good opponent. However Sakura seemed to be the weak link, despite incredible good at Genjutsu, as she was able to detect and in turn resist most types of Genjutsu and the fact that, she could memorise a lot of information quickly, she, sadly, had little to no skill in either Ninjutsu or Taijutsu.

"Oh right. Sorry guys," Sakura apologised. I noticed that she seemed distracted by something. "Good morning Sasuke," Sakura greeted the Uchiha.

"Whatever," Sasuke responded flatly. I had also learnt that Sasuke wasn't very sociable, whilst Naruto was hyperactive and Sakura had a crush on Sasuke big enough to match the sun.

We headed in and walked up the stairs to the second floor, I had to follow the others as I didn't know where I was going. Walking along a hallway we heard a commotion, I looked up to see a large crowd of people around a door with two other shinobi berating them. The sign above it said 301, it immediately set me on edge. Naruto had told me that the room number always began with the floor they were on. So how could 301 be here when we were only on the second floor, there was only one possible reason, a Genjutsu.

"Real nice speech. Now both of you step aside and let me through. And while you're at it reverse the Genjutsu, we can see through your illusion anyway. We're going to the third floor," Sasuke demanded. I rolled my eyes but at least I wasn't the only one who had noticed the obvious slip up. Everyone else began to whisper behind us in confusion at Sasuke's statement. But the shinobi in front of us did admit it.

"Go ahead Sakura tell them. I'm sure you saw it before anyone else did," Sasuke encouraged the pinkette. Sakura seemed confused and her answer was shaky which made me a little confused. Me and Naruto gave a positive agreement and then the Genjutsu was dispelled. The shinobi congratulated us but one of them attacked Sasuke who reacted. However before either could deal a blow a boy a year older than me appeared between them.

The boy had very thick eyebrows and large, rounded black eyes with prominent lower eyelashes, his hair was black and styled in a bowl-cut style. He wore a green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers, and a red forehead protector worn as a belt. He also had bandages around his hands and wrist. I was stunned by the boy's speed it had been a long time since I had seen someone able to outmatch me in speed. The boy let them go and two others walked up to him.

"Hey what happened to the plan? I thought you were the one who said to keep a low profile and don't let anyone see our skill level," A brunette boy argued to the fast boy.

"I know but…," The boy began but he trailed off as he looked at Sakura. I think I saw a blush appeared on his cheeks. I stepped away from Sakura who looked at me in confusion, I noticed that the injuries he had before were gone. I watched as the boy walked over to Sakura.

"My name is Rock Lee, you are Sakura right?" The boy asked. His question stunned Sakura into silence. "Please be my girlfriend, I vow to protect you with my life" Rock Lee declared, he had winked at her and gave her a thumbs up and I think his teeth shined as well. But Sakura flat out rejected him breaking the poor guy's heart.

"Hey you over here. What's your name?" The male from before called out. I turn to look at him as he hadn't specified who. He was a year older than me with dark brown hair that reached the middle of his back and was tied back a few inches above the end in a loose ponytail, while two straps attached to a smaller headband underneath his ninja forehead protector frame the sides of his face. He had very fair skin and his eyes had a slight tint of lavender to them but no pupil. He wore a black forehead protector that he wore snugly over his forehead. He wore a khaki shirt, dark brown shorts, blue shinobi sandals. He also had bandages wrapped around his right arm and right leg.

"Whose name?" I asked. The boy glared at me but I didn't flinch, his glare was like a feather in the breeze to me.

"The boy's," He clarified as he pointed at Sasuke. I shrugged and turned to ignore him. However I did see that the boy's question had greatly angered Naruto.

"It's common courtesy to give your own name before asking someone else's," Sasuke retorted. I rolled my eyes remembering how he hadn't used that 'common courtesy' when he asked for Gaara's name.

"Hey you're a rookie aren't you? How old are you anyway?" The boy questioned. He seemed pretty intent on getting answers from Sasuke first.

"I'm not obliged to answer," Sasuke responded. He was determined not to give in either. I noticed that this heavily annoyed the blind boy.

"What's that?" The boy asked annoyance seeping into his voice. A giggle sounded next to him and I saw a girl that stood with him. She was a year older than me she had dark brown hair and eyes. She wore her hair in buns on either side of her head with short fringe-bangs falling over her forehead protector which she wore in the traditional manner. She wore a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons as well as dark green pants and standard blue ninja sandals.

Sasuke eventually turned around and we went to walk on only to see both Naruto and Rock Lee depressed about different reasons.

"Hey Naruto, Sasuke, Ami let's go," Sakura suggested. I nodded to my fellow teammate and snapped Naruto out of his depression before the boys were dragged by Sakura off to the third floor with me following behind them. We were already and raring to go for the Chūnin Exams
