[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 24 | Getting Ready For The Final Fight |

BAHAHA, I've just checked the polls - and guess what? CHIBI'S WINNING BY TWO VOTES. Now, I personally support the love triangles (Sasuke x Reader x Naruto / Sasuke x Reader Gaara / Naruto x Reader x Gaara / Sasuke x Reader x Shikamaru / etc), but I don't exactly have a choice to not vote D:

Meh, at least the pairings'll make you readers happy, I'm fine with it :3

Sorry guys, no spoilers this time - I've typed up enough spoilers from the previous chapter to fill up five chapters =∆=U (how stupid am I?). Anyways, enjoy!

Eh, maybe one spoiler.

*SPOILER* This chapter's short. Seriously, short.

AND ONE OTHER THING: I FUCKING LOVE YOU VOTERS *w* I AM ON VOTE 90+ FOR THIS SERIES! x3

Yasuo: That was actually a decent introduction.

Tiffany: What the hell does that mean?!

Yasuo: That's for me to know and you to find out.

Tiffany: I'm really creeped at the fact that you sound like me way too much.

FEEDBACK: (is too busy ranting on with 'thank you' speech)

WARNING: Foul Language. Crack!

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

"What?" you asked, shock evident on your face as you blinked.

"I said," Kakashi sighed, "the third part of the Chūnin Exams is coming up in a month. Train hard and prepare yourself."

You grinned, "So I passed the Preliminary Rounds?"

"You won, didn't you?"

You jumped up with a closed-eye grin.

"YES!" you exclaimed, before you blinked, "matte yo, so we have one month to get ready for the Chūnin Exams?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"YOSHA! I CAN FINALLY TRAIN AGAIN!"

You ignored the sweatdrop that settled itself on your sensei's head.

You blinked, stopping in your tracks when you heard a scream resonate through Konoha's streets. You raised an amused eyebrow, turning your head in the direction of the sound.

And here I was hoping to get some decent training in.

Decent? You woke up at 11:00 am.

S-SHUT UP, YASUO!

You made your way to the hotsprings, which was seemingly where the scream had come from. When you arrived at the scene though, your left eye immediately started to twitch.
