Sitting down on the ground with my back against the tree, While Naruto an Sasuke were trying to catch fish for us. While they were doing that I was making a homemade net, to catch more fish. Cause I knew that they weren't going to catch many. They were bickering back an forth like an old married couple. Naruto was up on a rock smiling like crazy, before making some shadow clones an jumping into the water. Sasuke was waiting on the shore ready to catch any fish that jumped out of the water. When they did he whiped his kunai at them, only catching three. Naruto emerged from the water looking at both me and Sasuke.
SASUKE:Is that it? I only caught three. Go and do it again. I could eat three fish myself
NARUTO:What! If you think its so easy, why don't you get wet, An ill stand on the shore. What are you laughing at Henna. Your not even doing anything, your just sitting there.
I shook my head at him while getting up.
HENNA: Actually i was making a net, so i could catch more fish for us. I wanted you two to stop bickering, so ill take over from here
NARUTO:Hey! Thats cheating
HENNA:No its actually smart thinking Naruto. Instead of getting three. I can get more at a time
I told them while taking off my robes
NARUTO:Wow! Henna why are you stripping
I could see that both Naruto an Sasukes faces got really red. I just rolled my eyes
HENNA:Oh come on. I got a black tank top an shorts on underneath this, you perverts. Do you know how long it takes to get these robes dry
SAKURA:Sasuke! The fire is ready to light. I could use one of your fireballs
SASUKE:*sigh* I got to do everything out here
He said while walking away from us, an back to camp. I glared at his back
HENNA:No one asked you to do anything Mister high an Mighty!
I yelled out at him, before diving into the water to catch more fish
I smiled at the little pile of fish next to the fire. Me an Naruto grinned at each other, before giving each other a high-five. Yum look at all these fish, i got to be quick if i want to get the biggest fish. Oh no Naruto is looking at the same fish!, My thought were interupted when Sasuke started speaking
SASUKE:Its already been four days since the second exams started. I know now were not going to breaking any records, an we only have twenty-four hours left
SAKURA:I wonder how many teams got there scrolls and finished
SASUKE:Henna you have both scroll. Why haven't you went ahead and finished?
HENNA:Because the Hokage told me to watch out for you guys. Indicating I'm your Guardian during this part of the exam. I'm also going to help you guys get a heaven scroll
SAUKRA:We have to face it. There may not be any more heaven scrolls left, except yours Henna
SASUKE:Well that's a cheerful thought
SAKURA:Its true though. You've said it your self Sasuke, this is the Fourth day we've been out here. That means we've already used 80% of the time we've got to complete the exam. Only Fourteen teams can pass. Because there are only Fourteen Heaven and Earth scrolls. There are Twenty seven teams, Seventy-nine candidate looking for both scroll. Don't forget Orochimaru burned our heaven scroll
SASUKE:Maybe we gave ourselves too much time to recover an rest from our last fight.. We got to get serious now an make up for lost time. The next enemy we face maybe out last chance. I'm going to get some water
He said while get up an heading to the water. I got up as well i needed to talk to him alone. I have made a serious decision, since it included him as well, he needed to know.
NARUTO:Hey Henna where are you going?
HENNA:I have something important to talk to Sasuke about
I jogged towards Sasuke, before Naruto could say anything. When i caught up to him, he didn't say anything, he just continued to get water
HENNA:Hey i gotta talk to you
He got up and looked at me
SASUKE:Hn. Go ahead I'm listening
He said waking past me, i took that to talk an walk
HENNA:If squad Seven don't find a heaven scroll by tomorrow. I'm handing mine over to you
SASUKE:Dont-
HENNA:Don't even try to get me to change my mind. I have already made it up
SASUKE:Being a Chunin is your goal
HENNA:I know it is. But you guys are my squad, even though I'm not during this second part. But your still my teammates, an i want to help you guys no matter what. Plus i could always take the next exams. They hold them twice a year, so i will have another chance
SASUKE:Henna I-
HENNA:Wait. Sasuke who's that?
SASUKE:An enemy
We both ran over to the group. Sasuke dropping his water along the way
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SASUKE:I cant believe you guys
HENNA;Really Naruto, Sakura i cant even believe you encouraged him
KABUTO:If i hadnt came along when i did
Both Naruto an Sakuras heads where down in shame
SAKURA:Im really sorry Sasuke
NARUTO:Im sorry too
He mumble. I frowned clearing my throat as well
HENNA:Don't i get a sorry, you guys disappointed me as well. I shouldn't have left you guys alone with the scrollNARUTO:I'm really sorry Henna! I didn't mean to make you disappointed in me
He cried out, pulling me into a tight embrace. I patted his head
HENNA:Its ok Naruto, I forgive you or now
KABUTO:There have been others who have broken the rules an peeked at the scroll. I have seen what has happened to them, when they do look. They get knocked out intently as soon as you open them. By the time you wake up the exams are over
SASUKE:Kabuto right. We have met at the registration. What are you doing wandering off by yourself
KABUTO:Don't worry I'm not after your earth scroll. Or your Heaven scroll
He said the last part turning to me. I scuffed at him an turning my head, his chakra still giving me a bad feeling about him
HENNA:No one asked you
SAKURA:Hey be nice he was only helping
HENNA:Whatever. Even if he was he could have taken that scroll away from you an Naruto when he had the chance
SASUKE:So that means your looking for a Heaven scroll too
KABUTO:Not really. You see i already have them both
He said before pulling them out, to show us
HENNA:Now wouldnt your team be made at you. Since your out here all alone with both scrolls. Someone could easily take them
KABUTO:I highly doubt that. I'm on my way to the tower to wait for my teammates. So if you would excuse me
He said before he turned around to leave. I smiled as i watched him walk away, but my happiness soon ended
SASUKE:Hold it!
HENNA:Let him go Sasuke he has nothing for us
Kabuto stopped and turned to us. Hes eyes landing on Sasuke as he spoke
SASUKE:Ill fight you for it
HENNA:Not every one wants to fight you Sasuke
I whispered to him, only to receive a glare from both him an Sakura
KABUTO:You'll fight me for it
He said sounding alittle to eager for my taste
NARUTO:Hold on this is this a joke or what!?
He yelled out, only causing me to sigh an shake my head at the situation
KABUTO:Are you serious?
SASUKE:Perfectly. Sorry but i don't have time to play nice
NARUTO:Back off Sasuke. If you haven forgotten this guys saved our butts
SAKURA:Naruto has a point, we don't want to be ungrateful
SASUKE:Shut up, I cant be helpful its either us or him
KABUTO:Your lying. You talk tough, but your heart isn't even in it admit it. If it was true, if winning is the only thing that matter to you. Why openly challenge me? Why announce it an put me on my guard? Why not jump me when I'm back it turned? Why haven you fought her for her scroll since you really want it. She has both as well, she isn't even on your team. After all that's what a "Ninja" would do
NARUTO:Hes pretty deep
HENNA:I know he should have been a poet
I commented sarcasticlly
KABUTO:Don't worry about it. I actually admire you for it. So here what ill do. Ill show you the path you should follow. But lets go its best that we leave here while we still can. The smell of food will attract wild beasts and also the competition
I don't like this guy. He keeps helping my squad especially Sasuke. I cant let my guard down one minute around this guy. he maybe a Leaf Shinobi, but something is definitely up with this him. First it Orochimaru eyeing down Sasuke, now its this Kabuto guy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jumping from tree branch to tree branch. We were heading to our destination
SASUKE:Do you think there are still other candidates out there
KABUTO:Oh yea, just think about it. What do you think is the best ways to get scrolls in a area as large as this one, to go searching in the forest
SAKURA:Um no
HENNA:Ah i see where your coming from. You go near the destination where their going, an wait for them
KABUTO:Exactly that area is going to be crawling with other teams
SAKURA:Oh i get it like an ambush
HENNA:Yea but think about it. We're most likely not the only teams to think about this
NARUTO:Who cares! The more the merrier, we'll take care of them. Would'nt want this to be too easy, then this would'nt be any fun. So we grab someone else scroll, an keep the losers from taking our scrolls. Then Bingo we pass this part of the test
KABUTO:Well thats 2/3 of the problem
SAKURA:Well atleast we're getting closer. What else?
KABUTO:Well there's bound to be some collectors around at the finish line
SAKURA:Collectors?
KABUTO:Even if you think that we're home free. You can't relax your guard for an instant. This kind of exam always brings them out. Collectors they gather extra scrolls to use for many uses. For example to bribe their way out of unexpected situations, or provide the village mate for the scroll their lacking. Some steal them from keeping rival villages from passing. Other use them for their own dark selfishness. They'll be there all right, and their bad news. The closer you get to the tower, the more likely you'll run into them.
HENNA:Of course you would know this. I mean this is like your seventh time taking this exam
I most have struck a nerve, because he tightened his hand into a fist. He looked over his shoulder an smiled
KABUTO:Yea, an its a good thing i know since I'm helping you guys
SASUKE:I see why your bringing us along with you. Its because your frightened airnt you
KABUTO:*chuckle* You bet i am
We continued ahead until we stopped. I had gotten pretty dark now. We were facing forward on the path. The moonlight lite up the tower that was a few miles ahead of us
KABUTO:There's the tower, that's means the end is in sight. Now comes the hard part.
Naruto jumped up throwing his fist into the air
NARUTO:well its about time. Bring it on
I turned my head slightly to the right. There's either a animal of a big bug behind us
SAKURA:Theres someone behind us
Naruto whipped a kunai in that direction that Sakura pointed out. i only shook my head
HENNA:Dont worry. Its nothing, i don't sense any chakra
NARUTO:False alarm. its only a cenipeide
HENNA:A really big centipede
SAKURA:Really! That thing is almost as big as a bus
She said making a face. I laughed while scratching the back of my neck. Then i turned to Sakura with a really confused look on my face
HENNA:Hey Sakura. Whats a Bus?
KABUTO:Don't worry about that. But hey Naruto, do us all a favor, try an keep it down to a dull roar will ya. Take it slow and quiet, lets all use the time we have left
HENNA:Yup
I was jumping up an down trying to untangle Naruto
HENNA:Dont worry I got ya. I'll get you out in no time
Cutting a certain vain, he fell an landed right on top of me
NARUTO:Henna are you ok im so sorry
He whispered while getting off of me, an helped me up
HENNA:Yea don't worry, I'm fine. I had that coming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kabuto was on his knees looking threw his little compass thing
KABUTO:We're getting close
HENNA:Then lets start getting even closer
We started walking forwards towards the tower. I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turned an glared when i saw who it was. He pointed to my left. I turned an saw bodies of other ninjas. Buried beep were kunais
SASUKE:A trap?
HENNA:Looks like it
KABUTO:It only get worse from here
HENNA:Well that's comforting
I walked next to Naruto. His foot hit a trip wire setting off kunais. I turned an blocked all the kunais that was coming towards me with one of my blades. While Kabuto jumped in front of Naruto using the Substitution Jutsu. Of course Naruto didn't realize this an shouted out his name. We both starred at the new pile of logs that were on the ground
NARUTO:Subsitution
HENNA:Yup. Remember hes older then us. Hes got more experience then us
KABUTO:Well that was close
We all turned to see Kabuto in a tree. Leaning againt it trying to look cool
HENNA:Ill say Mr.Hot shot
He glared at me, before turning to Naruto
KABUTO:like i said it only get worse from here
My legs are starting to fell like jelly, an I'm starting to sweat. How long have we been walking. I swear that the tower wasn't this far away?
HENNA:It fells like we have been walking for miles
NARUTO:Believe it!
Sakura collapsed on her knees. Naruto ran over to her side
NARUTO:Sakura are you ok
SAKURA:How long have we been walking. We're not getting any closer
NARUTO:Now that you have mentioned it. I was thinking the same thing. Its weird
HENNA:No its not weird. Ive been having a bad feeling, an this only confirms it. I think that we're all in a Genjutu
NARUTO:HOW!
He said while jumping up onto his feet
KABUTO:Shes right. Someone is playing with us. Look!
He said. Pointing to a near by tree. On that tree was a Centipede. the same one that Naruto pinned
NARUTO:Oh man no way, it cant be. Whats the big idea
SAKURA:Whats going on!
SASUKE:Like Henna said, Genjutsu
KABUTO:Im surprised you havent noticed before Henna
HENNA:Shut it Yakushi. It from both lack of sleep an chakra
KABUTO:Hmmm right
I started gripping onto my blade that was strapped to my leg. Calm down cant make a scene. Soon ill be able to hurt him. I got to keep my head clear, we need to come up with a good plan
KABUTO:Their most likely trying to wear us down. then strike when were out of energy
SASUKE:Like how we are right now
KABUTO:Right that mean they'll be here soon
HENNA:That mean we have to hurry up with a plan
KABUTO:Ye-
We started here noises heading towards us at a fast pace. We turned to see many clones appearing before us. Even more clones started coming out of the ground an trees, symbolizing that they are solid. Seeing this before us Naruto smirked
NARUTO:Five against Forty i like those odds
