(Book the Third) Crimson Hatred in the Uchiha

Each Person's Battle

I don't own Naruto. There is dialogue from the original translations of the manga. I own any OC, original jutsus and anything else that is changed from the original plot. This story is copyrighted.

The lot of you readers who are my followers are probably thinking "Why the HECK is this stupid-ass author so active on Wattpad yet she isn't writing???"

I am sorry for not updating. Let me give you the reason as to why I am so active on Wattpad, yet I am not writing,

First, I moved, and I have been juggling schoolwork with house cleaning.

Second, is schoolwork. It's already mentioned, but schoolwork deserves a number on it's own.

Third, the Chuunin exams are fooking boring. Don't get me wrong, I love the Chuunin exams, but I've read one too many fanfictions with their own versions of it. Just about all my readers know what happen in the Chuunin Exams now, it was hard for me to write a non-boring chapter with inspiration. But anyways.

Oh yeah, I'll be traveling to Ireland soon for March Break. I'm not allowed to bring my phone or any sort of electronic device, so I'll be completely inactive the second the Thursday before March Break hits the calendar.

Forgive me for any grammar or any sort of mistakes. I was writing really fast... So I probably got careless in some places.

Enjoy reading!

Sasuke's POV

Akira? That weird kid? I turned along with everyone else. After all, Naruto's voice was a loud as hell, he might as well have been banging a pot. No, never mind. Even banging a pot wouldn't compare.

Sure enough, Akira was standing in front of Naruto, looking exactly like how I saw him a few days ago,

"Naruto-kun..." Akira tilted his head and caught sight of the rest of our team, "Sakura-chan, and..." He paused. Right... He doesn't know my name, "why are you here?"

"I should be asking that!" Naruto yelled, "What the hell Akira-brat!? Did you walk into the wrong room!? This is only for Chuunin candidates, not etiquette brats!"

"I am here to take the exam."

Wait... Wait, what the hell?! Him!?

"YOU'RE ONLY A TINY KID!" Naruto bellowed, "JUST BECAUSE YOU CARRY A KATANA DOESNT MAKE YOU A NINJA!"

Sakura pushed past Naruto, "Akira," she said seriously, "you have a forehead protector underneath your bangs right? When I first met you... I noticed a glint of metal on your forehead."

Akira stared (or not) at Sakura, "I do have a forehead protector, your observation is good."

How the hell did this brat graduate so damn early? How old is he anyways? Ten? I hate that he acts like an adult. I hate that he's already a Genin, and now applying for Chuunin. Why can't I be more like him? Thank kami he's in the exams... Because now he is someone I want to fight.

"But how did you become a Genin so early?" I interrupted.

Akira turned to me, "Uchiha... Sasuke?"

"Yes, yes, that's me," I said impatiently, "answer my question."

Akira's face was turned to me for quite some time. Finally, he spoke. "I myself do not know. I don't question my Sensei. He told me to graduate, and I did. He told me to become a Chuunin, and here I am."

"How do you even know you are strong enough?" I demanded, "You realize that your Sensei just sent you to your death!?"

Akira tilted his head, "I don't think I will know how weak I am until I am defeated."
