"My...my chakra"

"Heh, you just noticed?" Yorio continued to suck Sasuke dry of chakra. The Uchiha gripped Yorio's arm strongly, yanking and forcing the boy the buckle down. Sasuke grunted in pain, his hand spazzing before kicking his enemy away.

"Get off!" Yorio was sent flying, and Sasuke could barely stand. 

Yorio chuckled. "You still have some strength left? You're just a guinea pig. Relax, I'll end this quick." Yorio stood up and waved his hand before dashing towards Sasuke. He stood up slowly and dodged his opponents strikes with sluggish movements. Yorio was able to brush against Sasuke's bangs, taking even more chakra. "What's wrong? Are you done already?" Yorio taunted. Sasuke turned around and did roundhouse kick which Yorio easily dodged by stepping sideways. 

"Sasuke? You call yourself Uchiha Sasuke with that?!" Sasuke turned around and faced Naruto. "Stop acting like an idiot! Get serious!" Naruto hollered. 

Tamako quirked an eyebrow, resting his arms on the railing before using the cup of her palm to rest her cheek on. This fight was a lot less... interesting. Sasuke here was the strongest out of the Konoha Rookies. She'd seen what he was capable with the seal, hell if she bothered to hide, she would've seen a lot more spectacular fight with him against Orochimaru. It was a shame that Sasuke couldn't show off a bit more, but if Canon were to follow, she could guess that beating an opponent with only Taijutsu was still impressive. Even if he was barely managing to do so.

"You don't have time to look the other way," Yorio stated, charging at him with his outstretched palm glowing. Sasuke dodged all of the jabs before flickered right under Yorio, vertical kicking him airborne. He soon followed after,

"From here on out, is all original." Sasuke touched Yorio back before coughing out blood. Marks soon devoured his left side, but, miraculously, they receded. Sasuke smirked and continued his attack. He began by placing his palm on Yorio and flipped him over to face him.

Then, with an upside axe kick, but was blocked with Yorio's forearm. Sasuke then quickly flipped his body and used the momentum to land an elbow to Yorio's face, smashing his face and directing both of them towards the ground.

Sasuke swiftly overturned his body and right before Yorio landed splat on the ground, Sasuke delivered a heel kick to the solar plexus with a fissure from the impact to the ground.

"Lion Combo!" 

Hayate walked forward and checked on Yorio unconscious form before speaking,

"I'll like to stop the match now. The first match winner is Uchiha Sasuke." Medics came rushing in and placing Yorio into a stretcher and went out the door. Kakashi then flickered behind Sasuke.

To be honest, the match held to her expetations: it was both incredibly sad and impressive. It was obvious that Sasuke used little to no chakra and pure taijutsu to take down the enemy. Tamako sighed with her arms crossed, wondering what the fight would've looked like if he wasn't tied down with that curse. Would she'd seen more out of the prodigy? If he was able to copy Lee's Taijutsu with a single look, then he could amount to much more.

"Uchiha Sasuke, we medics will give you the best treatment," One of the medics said. Kakashi looked at him before replying.

"You guys are out of your territory, I'll take him under my care," Kakashi said before leaning closers and whispered a couple things. Sasuke stood up and walked towards the stairs with Kakashi in tow.

"Um, now then. We will begin the next second match." Everyone's eyes flickered over to the TV, waiting for the next match. Tamako looked around and noted everyone. Orochimaru wasn't with Team Dosu. Probably slunked away to follow Kakashi and Sasuke.

It also gave her a realization: Orochimaru had probably already killed Rasa. All things considered, Rasa was a good Kage to his people. His strongsuits were Kage-duties, not father-duties.

[ Kinuta Dosu Vs Tamako ]

Her eyes narrowed. "Aah, it's already my turn?" The periwinkle haired girl smirked and stretched, glancing at Dosu and activating her skill.

Kinuta Dosu

Level: 86

Age: 14

Class: Genin (Low Chunin)

HP: 4,300

CP: 4,665

A young shinobi who works under Orochimaru and from Otogakure. He already suspects that Orochimaru believes that they are replaceable and being used currently.

He wishes to fight Uchiha Sasuke and might go to extremes just to fight him

Dosu was probably her worst match-up, with sound being able to disrupt the formation of crystal to the molecular level. Canon-wise, he was the best match up. 

"Both of you, come forward," Hayate said, before getting into a coughing fit. Without hesitation, Tamako threw herself across the railing with Dosu following pursuit. The two stared down each other, sizing each other up.

"We will now begin the second match," Hayate walked back. "Now then, please begin."

[Quest Alert!]

She Killed...

Objective: Kill Dosu

Rewards: 250 EXP

She raised her hand high into the air, forming a tanto and gripping it tightly with both hands. "This match will be over soon." Tamako taunted, forming crystal at her eardrums and washing away any Dosu's shouts. "You may have the first move."

Dosu ran forward and attempt to ram his arm into the girls torso that she quickly blocked with her tanto. If he acted his jutsu, Tamako didn't feel a thing and backflipped into the air, taking advantage of her flexibility and hooking the heel into his chin, sending the older boy flying into the air. "Is that the best you can do?"

She flickered side to side before appearing mid-air beside her opponent, her tanto glinting. Taking a note out of Sasuke's Lion Combo, because it was quite cool, she smashed her heel into his stomach, striking out her elbow into the solar plexus before finishing off with a downward strike with her heel.

Dosu flew straight into the ground, fissures and cracks following his wake. He didn't give up, but held signs of broken ribs and bruised back. With a flicker, he raised his arm in an attempt to smash it against her side.

Without delay, the girl blocked the strike with her tanto, her eyes watching the blade fissure at his move. She had a ten-level suppression on him, and her stats were much higher than her level but with the blood pumping in her blood, adrenaline flooding through her veins, she grinned with excitement. "This is fun,  but I've delayed the match longer than needed." In the back of her head, she scolded herself. Getting addicted to this feeling would only warp her perception. 

She coated chakra around her right arm and left leg, shooting towards Dosu in a blink and sending a crescent kick to her opponent, shooting him forward and a reverberating boom, the aftershocks crumbling into the stadium wall.

His body was glued to the wall, with a firm grip, the girl clenched his neck and raised him into the air.

With a lean, the girl whispered in his ear, "You think Suna is a fool? Kazekaga-sama shall be avenged, starting with you." Dosu's eyes widened, but the girl didn't give him much time to compute her words. Tamako dropped his body wordlessly to the ground, dragging him by the hair to the center of the stage. "To be a shinobi is to acknowledge the fact that enduring means to endure the idea of cruelty." She stared up at her audience, noting the faces of repugnance and apathy. Her beatdown, was it cruel? She could've ended this match with a chop to the head, but she drew out this fight. "A Chunin is a team leader who commands their team to possible death. If you cannot stand the idea of killing, than you do not deserve the Chunin Rank." Without hesitation, she drove the tanto, impaling his chest and through the heart. "This is a rite of passage."

She loosened her grip on Dosu's head, letting the body flop unceremoniously to the ground, blood pooling. Tamako turned her attention to Hayate and drew back her blade, sending blood in an arc that stained the ground.

LV UP!

LV UP!

A voice shot out before Hayate could walk forward to confirm her win. "That's stupid!"

She turned her head and spotted the orange-clad ninja and grinned with teeth. "What is?"

"That you need to— need to kill someone to prove yourself!" He pointed a finger at her, his cerulean eyes pooling with emotion. "All you have to do is prove yourself through a fight, a fair fight."

She cocked an eyebrow at him. "You believe that a Chunin should be able to command their team, sending them to their deaths but hasn't killed themselves?" As much as she disliked killing, Dosu would only go on to wreck more havoc. She wasn't one-hundred percent sure how he died, but all she did was hasten it. It's the lesser evil too, this death was necessary.

That's what she told herself anymore. Warm blood dripped down her sword hand.

"I'll be a Chunin and I won't kill anyone!"

Tamako tilted her head. "Even if the enemy tries to kill you?"

"I won't let that happen! No one has to die!"

Her words caught in her throat, a tight feeling in her mouth. It was fueled with astonishment at his claims, maybe a little with his stupidity and naivety. But it was fresh. Naruto... was better than her.

Her tanto shattered into dust as she stared up. "You are quite pertinacious, aren't you?"

Naruto squinted back, his accusatory finger falling to his side. "P-per-pertin..?"

Sakura sighs beside him, "She means that you are stubborn and opinionated."

Tamako couldn't help but laughing into the air, using her clean hand to wipe her tears. "I see. We'll see who makes Chunin first, Uzumaki."

Finally, Hayate gestures at the medics before announcing, "Second match winner is Tamako." She faced her audience of Genin and Jounin before bowing.

"That was totally one-sided..." Sakura whispered quietly, her fingers playing with the edge of her dress as she bit down on her lips.

Shikamaru sighed beside her, "Agh... that was a total beat down. What a drag."

Tamako jumped into the air, softly landing on the railing before hopping next to Temari. She grinned at the girl, throwing an arm around her shoulder, "I still got it, don't I?"

"Brutal as usual." She replied.

"Doesn't matter, Temari. That guy was a loser anyways." Kankuro bantered back, the paint on his face creasing as he spoke.

"Weaklings like him don't need to exist." Gaara rasped out before turning his attention to the TV.

Raidon smirked, throwing an arm around her shoulder and tugging her closer, "You destroyed him! Bet Aneko can't do better."

The girl in question narrowed her eyes, snapping back, "Shut up Raidon."

"Mou, you guys are so mean to me!" Raidon squalled. A tic mark quickly formed on Aneko.

"That's because you say dumb remarks with your dumb ass sounding voice!" 

Raidon whimpered.

Okasawa Aneko Vs Adachi Raidon

"Ooh. Don't kill each other." Tamako leaned against the railing, interest peaking through her words.

"We'll try." Raidon and Aneko quickly flickered down and faced each other with smirks.

This is so cliché. A lot of fanfictions have the same scenario because the author can't think of another way to get rid of their OC's teammates. Musing with amusement, she nodded at her own statement in full agreement, playing with her fingers.

Without any pause, Raidon spoke up. "Ladies first", he mock bowed.

Aneko smiled in a way that didn't reach her eyes, "Then go." 

 His face developed into a red hue but didn't move an inch at her provocation. 

Aneko glanced at both her teammates before raising her hands, coated in a fine layer of raiton which no doubt, on contact, a world of pain.

"Raiton: Lightning Bolt!" A stream of lighting zoomed towards Raidon, true to his name, he dodged it by somersaulting into the air and ran forward, in the direction of Aneko. He flicked his hand in her direction and an array of kunai mixed with shuriken swarmed the air. Aneko countered by flicking her own kunai, effectively resolving that issue before jumping, in mid-air, she formed hand signs.

"Raiton: Twitching Limb Jutsu!" Aneko streamed chakra into her arms and legs, which left her a beam of light. She let gravity do the work and slammed her fist on Raidon's right arm, which he used to block.

Raidon yelped in pain before roundhouse kicking her away with his free leg. His right arm was rendered useless.

"Looks like he's done for." Someone noted. Tamako didn't bother turning her head to see who spoke and grinned.

"Just you watch."

Raidon twitched a couple of times before completely disappearing. Aneko looked around in panic before she was shot into the air. A blur then formed above her and she was struck towards the ground before being forced into the air again.

This continued loop continued for a solid few seconds, but in those few seconds, her body was moving at speeds even Tamako had trouble keeping up. Raidon pretty much focused on speed and speed alone. But dishing out speeds like this would tire him very quick. 

She finally fell onto the floor, Raidon, who was panting, leaned onto the wall and gasped for air.

Aneko slowly got out of the crater she was in and spat out blood. She wobbled a bit until she was on her feet and looked at Raidon. She slowly put her hands together and walked forward. Raidon walked forward before staggering a bit.

"R-raiton: C-control Loss" Her right hand flickered to light, she quickly ran forward with her last strength and slammed her palm onto his torso. Raidon twitched uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Aneko smiled and raised her hand in victory before falling to the ground from lack of chakra. She laid on the ground next to Raidon with a content smile.

Hayate waiting a couple seconds before announcing.

"Both Shinobi are unable to continue, the match ends as a draw." 

Tamako glanced for her Sensei, who was nowhere to be found. Useless as always.

She took it upon herself to take initiative, and jumped down, glancing at the two's conditions and frowned.

'Isn't the Control Loss jutsu means target loses control of the bowels and bladder..? Aw fuck.' Raidon laid in his own puddle of urine with a mix of diarrhea.

"Medic!" She shouted, gaining everyone's attention.

"Is there something wrong? Both aren't that injured to be needed in the infirmary, you can let them rest in the upper area."

The girl faced palm gestured towards Raidon mess.

"I'm not touching that. I'll take Aneko though." Watching Hayate's face of confusion turning fatigued so quickly was honestly pretty funny. Without words, Hayate gestured down the team of medics. 

Tamako wrapped Aneko's arm around her shoulders and flickered onto the balcony before placing her against the wall. She poked her several times, the forehead, shoulder and stomach.

The girl's eyes twitched beneath her lids,"Wha? Tama, what happened?" Aneko asked, rubbing her forehead and squinting at the brightness.

"Double KO, just like it was planned." Aneko smirked and leaned heavily against the wall to situate herself up, and with Tamako's help, leaned against the railing for the next match. "Raidon won't be so happy about your last jutsu."

Aneko smirked back, "That idiot has made this entire exam feel like babysitting. I'm just ensuring that he at least has some fond memories of acting like one."

Zaku Abumi Vs Aburame Shino 

It was obvious who would win, and anymore predictable fights was going to send her. After some deliberating thinking, she fixed her inventory for the nth time before summoning a floating keyboard to annoy the useless Game Master. Or [System]. She wasn't so sure if the two were the same or not. Plus it didn't help that most questions she sent were answered with little to nothing of value.

Question: When will the next system update?

Answer: After Sasuke Retrieval.


Question: Is it possible to disrupt relationships and subsequently ruin the future?

Answer: You can do anything. You can marry Sasuke, fuck Naruto and kill Sai. Just know that you actions have consequences.

She squinted her eyes. That's messed up. And now that she was recalling, she was pretty sure the whole Naruto and Hinata thing was to set up this super-child that had both Chakra's of Hagoromo and Hamura, or something like that. She was still fuzzy on those facts, because it honestly made her really confused.


Question: Is it possible for me to die and get reanimated?

Answer: Yes, once you have completed a section of the game, you will have a chance to get reanimated, if a certain skill is high enough, you can overcome the reanimation jutsu.

Ooh, fun.


Question: What is the level cap?

Answer: 500, this number will be changed and some characters can overcome this number.


Question: Is it possible for me to change people? As in they create new jutsu that wasn't shown in the Manga or Anime.

Answer: Anything is possible.


Question: Can I play match maker?

Answer: Please stop asking these questions.

Tamako pouted.

She finally looked back to the fight, Zaku was down and Shino was chillin like the fabulous person he is. Well, at least it was predictable.

"The third match winner is Konoha no Aburame Shino" The TV flickered on and sifted through names until it landed on Kankuro and Misumi.

Ignore. Boring match.

Question: When will I be able to skip or fast forward some parts?

Answer: In the next update, there will be a fast-forward feature only available at some parts.

Sweet


Question: What level was Itachi when he was twelve?

Answer: Level 382

Her eyes nearly popped out of her skull. What the hell?  There was no way that him unlocking the Mangekyou had gave him a boost in levels. Otherwise...


Question: What level was Kakashi when he was twelve?

Answer: Level: 371

Just a couple level difference, level isn't everything. It's the skill that counts.


Question: Will the movies happen?

Answer: Yes, and, those characters in the movies exist right now currently.

Well, all things considered, the first movie wasn't so bad.

She glanced back to the fight, Kankuro had emerged victorious while Kabuto's teammate laid on the floor passed out.

"Winner, Suna no Kankuro." The TV flickered to life and revealed two names.

Haruno Sakura Vs Yamanaka Ino

Tamako was getting a little bored. Everything was playing by the book. What was the point of her being here if nothing changed? Then, her eyes glinted at the sight of Sakura. Her pink hair easily standing out.

A thought concocting in her brain before the better of her could stop it. She watched carefully as the girl walked by.

"Word of advice." Sakura stopped at her trail and glanced up, wary. "You don't want to be captured in her Mind Jutsu, do you?" Tamako leaned against the railing and blew a piece of her hair out of her face, "Avoid her aim, avoid her hair." Sakura was probably smart enough to get her meaning once the fight starts. For how physically weak she was in this pool of applicants, she does have that big forehead of hers to use. The pinkette could only glance at Tamako weirdly, quickly scampering towards the stairs to face Ino.

They punched, kicked and yelled. Ino yelling that she couldn't believe that Sakura was on par with her. Sakura yelling back that people can change.

It was honestly a really sad exchange of Shinobi, low skill and all. The Yamanaka are known for being supports but the lack of skill as a clan heiress was, well, disappointing. Why were some of these girls so disappointing? Why weren't their more cool kunoichi like— like Temari. Badass, unforgiving, dangerous.

Ino is suppose to trounce over Sakura because she's from a noble clan, no questions. The fact that Ino couldn't said a lot. What the hell was this preprogrammed fight? She honestly didn't know who to be more mad at: Kishimoto or this world.

As the two exchanged loud words, Sakura began what seemed to be adept use of the Academy 3. 

She created two clones that ran side by side each other, and with chakra enhancing her legs, she sprung forward with a burst of speed that surprised Ino. The blond raised her arms in a defensive stanza, but wasn't quite quick enough to figure out which one was real, and with two of the clones disbanding at such close range, Sakura landed a chakra enhanced sucker punch that sent the other girl tumbling to the floor.

"I'll give you my best, but you're not going to like it," Ino said. Both ran forward and pulled back their fist, grabbing each other in a fit of strength before backing of and pulling out a kunai.

Yes, this seemed more like an Academy fight, rather chunin exam fight. These girls were not Chunin level, not for another six months of training at minimum.

Tamako sighed audibly, ignoring her teammates and even Kankuro and Temari's scathing remarks about the two.

"That's it!" Ino clenched her hair and cut it, throwing it onto the ground, "See! I don't need this! Alright, I'll put an end to this right now!" She put her hands together, "Get ready to tell everyone else that you lost! Forehead!

Sakura's eyes widen, then narrowed, backflipping away and keeping a wide gap between her and Ino. Before Ino could complete her Jutsu, Sakura leaped into the sky, forming several more clones. At her command, they all lunged forward.

Ino's connected seal hesitates, her connected fingers moving back and forth from each clone until Sakura stepped into the hair. At that moment, the other two clones poofed into smoke as the girl struggled, Ino's hair entangling her legs. With a smirk, Ino's placed Sakura in her vision, "This is it! It's over know, Forehead!"

Ino slouched into a low seiza, her arms falling to her side. Sakura froze before poofing out of existence. The real Sakura dispelled her transformation, a rock just a few meters from her initial retreat in beginning. 

That means all the Sakura's from before were all clones even the one that summoned more clones.

With Ino motionless and lost, Sakura held a single kunai to her neck as she crouched low.

A normal bunshin had no shadow, that's how you're able to discern what's an illusion and what wasn't. But for the last half of the fight, they all had shadows.

She narrowed her eyes, that wasn't in the script.

"Winner! Konoha no Haruno Sakura." Naruto screamed out how he knew she was going to win no matter what. Sakura looked up at him tiredly and smiled before falling onto the ground with exhaustion.

Kakashi flickered to Sakura and picked her up bridal style before flickering back to the balcony, gently placing her against the wall to recuperate. and placed her on the floor, leaning against the wall.

How much plot was altered? This small little change, would it end up in death? How big is this ripple, this butterfly affect. Tamako leaned against her propped up palm, her eyes trailing after Ino being wheeled away by Medic-Nins.

Nevertheless, if things go too south, she could always use her Save File.

. . .

Gaara Vs Rock Lee

This was a fight she was waiting for. A bloody one with free front-row tickets. She couldn't pass this up. Tamako gripped the railing, her foot tapping with anxiety, "Aneko, don't take your eyes off this one."

The girl in question blinked, "The green one? Against Gaara?" She raised her eyebrows, "There's no way Gaara wont win. Look at him."

"This will be a good one. Trust me. You won't see anything like it." 

Temari smirked, "Oh really? Let's see how bowl-hair cut here does against our weapon."

Lee made the first move and dashed forward and delivered a Leaf Hurricane. Sand erupted from Gaara's gourd and blocked the kick. The boy never gave up with his strikes, jabbing at Gaara with good speed, but all were blocked. Gaara's sand had finally grabbed ahold on Lee's leg and flung him across the stadium.

Lee hit the wall and stood up and staggered before getting into position.

'Let the bloodbath begin'
