The next day, Naruko awoke with a clear mind and was wide awake and well rested. She stretched her arms out and got up out of bed. She took a quick shower and went back into her room and changed into her usual olive green camisole with her blue jean short shorts. She split her hair into its usual pigtails. She made her bed, gathered her ninja tools and woke up Haku. She walked into the kitchen after that.
There, she found Neji and Christina already eating breakfast, and a half asleep Temari leaning over a bowl of cereal.
"Hey guys! Nice morning huh?" She said, getting the cereal and a bowl out of the cabinet for herself.
"Well, looks like someone slept well. You've never been a morning person Naruko-chan." Christina said.
Naruko decided to tease them once again. "Yeah, I had a great night's sleep. Though I bet you two were up all night having se-"
"Shhh! Haku!" Christina said quickly, pointing at the sleepy boy who was rubbing his eyes.
"Having what Kaa-san?" He asked, sitting down at the table, still rubbing his eyes.
"Nothing! Nothing! Don't worry about it Haku-kun!" She said, patting her son on the head, smiling nervously.
"Kaa-san, why do you always get so flustered when I ask about what you are teasing Auntie and Uncle about?" He asked.
"What! I don't get flustered, ttebayo!" Naruko said, nervously rubbing the back of her head.
"Naruko! This is the final threat! You keep making comments about me and Christina-hime like that, and I'll tell Haku exactly what you're talking about. Won't he get some interesting thoughts when he thinks about you and Kakashi dating now?" Neji said, a smirk on his face.
'Damn bastard! Why does he always figure out how to play me in just the right way to get what he wants! My precious Haku-kun is too young to find out! Especially with me and Kakashi dating now, and what if I decided to have more kids? God that would be awkward.' Naruko thought. Then she sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll stop with the jokes."
"Good." Neji said.
"I still want to know!" Haku whined.
"Haku-kun, you'll find out when your older, you can wait for that day, don't worry, mmkay?" Naruko said, sitting next to her son, setting down her own cereal bowl and another she had made for him.
"Okay Kaa-san." He said slightly sadly.
"Ne, Haku, are you gonna watch your Kaa-san and all of your Aunts and Uncles in the Chuunin Exams today?" Naruko asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah! Baa-chan said she would take me! I'm excited! Although, she'll probably be able to cheer louder for you than I can." Haku said.
"Yeah, I got my natural loudness from my Kaa-san." Naruko said.
"Haha! Oh, Kaa-san! One week, while you were gone, Baa-chan took me to the park, and I made a bunch of friends there!" Haku said.
"Really? Who did you meet?" Naruko asked.
"Oh oh! I met this nice girl named Ayame-chan! She's only a year older than me! And then, Itachi showed up! And I met his cousin, Shisui, he's the same age as me and Itachi! Oh, and I met this girl named Michiko-chan, and her twin sister, Mikoto-chan! And then, I met this other boy named Karura! And then we all played together! It was so much fun!" Haku said.
"I'm glad to see you made some more friends Haku-kun." She said, ruffling the boy's hair.
"Well, I think it's time we leave, don't want to have to race there and claim you were being chased by bulls, eh, Naruko-chan?" Gaara said, standing up. Everybody laughed at that, well, except for Haku, who didn't get it.
"Come on, Let's go!" Naruko cheered as she grabbed Haku's hand and went outside. The group was heading off to the Stadium when they felt a very familiar presence behind them. They turned to see Kushina and Minato turn onto the same street as them.
"Ji-ji! Baa-chan!" Haku yelled, then ran and jumped into Kushina's arms. She cuddled him and kissed his forehead.
"How's my little Haku-kun doing? I missed you while you and your Kaa-san, your Aunt and Uncle, and the pervert were out of the village." She said.
"Kushina-chan, it's not nice to call sensei a pervert." Minato said.
"Well he peeked on me in the bath ya know! I would call that pervy, which means he is a pervert, ttebane!" Kushina said.
"Alright, Alright, let's go. Naruko-chan, Kushina and I will be in the stands with Haku-kun." Minato said.
"Okay Tou-chan! See ya later! Bye Kaa-san, bye Haku-kun!" She said.
The group entered the stadium 5 minutes later. Nawaki, Yugito, and Rin were already waiting in the center. The group took their spaces in the center as well. 2 minutes later, Obito showed up.
The Third Hokage stepped forward to the front of the balcony. "Alright everyone, the Chuunin Exams will begin in 5 minutes, please make any last minute betting now." He said.
The next five minutes was filled with shuffling of people and a lot of noise.
"Alright everyone, now, the first match will begin." the proctor started announcing. "Anyone other than Naruko Namikaze and Obito Uchiha must go to the competitors box over there." He said, pointing at the small balcony.
Everyone other than Obito and Naruko walked up to the balcony. Obito and Naruko met in the middle of the stadium to shake hands.
"You remember the plan?" Naruko whispered.
"Hell yeah I do, you got everything in place?" Obito whispered back.
Naruko pretended to look up at the sky and then down to her feet, showing Obito it was a nod.
"Alright, this match may be-" The proctor was cut off.
Naruko spit out blood onto Obito. Obito's arm was up, his kunai now deep into Naruko's stomach. He pulled it out of her. And she fell to the ground, hugging her lower torso, coughing up more blood.
Up in the competitors box, Everyone's jaws hit the floor. What was Obito doing? He was killing her!
Up in the stands. Haku looked on in horror as his mom was stabbed in the stomach. Kushina had even made sure they got a front row seat. He got out of his chair, gripping the bars that were in front of him as tears streamed down his face.
"KAA-SAN!" He yelled.
Kushina and Minato looked on in equal horror. Minato was even worse off, how could Obito do this to Naruko? His teammate! He even thought they were the closest of the time traveler and present time people! But now, Obito was killing her! His comrade that had even saved his own life!
"Why?... Obito... Why?" Naruko let out.
"Because," He started, he had closed his eyes, they flashed open quickly, his eyes now blood red with Sharingan, "I hate you." He said. Then he started laughing, and he doubled over. Then he fell on his ass he was laughing so hard.
Everyone looked on, completely disturbed. This guy had just killed his teammate, who he seemed close to, and now he was laughing. Laughing! Every mouth hung open, wondering if Obito could be mentally insane.
Very unluckily for him, Kakashi had just gotten back from his Jounin Exams. He had walked in just in time, at the very same moment as Naruko was stabbed.
Kakashi had tears coming out of his eyes, just as Haku did. He couldn't believe it, Obito, who he thought of as his brother, had just killed his girlfriend! He would send Obito into intensive care for months because of this! He wouldn't bring himself to kill Obito, but he would barely survive for doing this. The one person who seemed to understand him, the one person who actually knew how he felt, just received a fatal wound from his best friend.
Naruko fell to the side, unable to hold herself up anymore, she coughed up blood, and looked up at Obito, who as still laughing his ass off.
Naruko smirked and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The real Naruko then fell out of a tree nearby, also laughing her ass off.
"Did.. Did... Did you see.. that?" Naruko started getting out in between laughs. "They.. They totally... FELL FOR IT! AHAHAH!" She laughed.
Everybody was now in even more shock, all of them had one thing on their mind. 'WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!'
Naruko and Obito got up after another minute, their laughs dieing down.
"Sorry Everybody! We just had to do that!" She said. Then she looked at Obito and smiled. They gave each other a huge high-five.
"Yeah! That was probably the best prank ever Naruko-chan! We seriously need to do more pranks together!" Obito said.
"Totally!" She said. Then they looked over to where they heard their names being called.
"NAAARRRUUUKOOO! OBBIIIITTTOOOOO!" Kakashi yelled.
"Oh shit! I thought he wouldn't be back until tomorrow!" Obito said.
"Me neither! Proctor! Please, hurry and start the match before Kakashi-kun is allowed to come down here and kill us!" Naruko yelled.
"The first match between Obito Uchiha and Naruko Namikaze starts now!" he yelled, jumping back.
Naruko and Obito jumped a few meters away from each other.
"Let's dance Obito-kun!" Naruko said.
"You're on Naruko-chan!" Obito said.
