《Inner Demons》Chunin Exams Begin!
Advertisement
Voices are raised in annoyance as we push our way through the crowd. Everyone is surrounding a single door labelled with the room number we were told to meet at. Two men stood at the door, restricting access from aspiring Chunin participants. I feel irritated as I watch the scene before me, 'these people looked like jerks'.
I started to stride up to the men, arrogance and pride taking over. I felt my hand clench into a fist, ready to punch one of the men as soon as we got into range. I was closing in on them when I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. It was soft and hesitant, as if the person was unsure whether this was the right action to take. I turned around expecting to see a petite female but instead I saw the most unexpected person.
"Naruto?!" I was confused, befuddled and unsure on what was going on. Naruto's face was blank, a void of emotion. He looked right and left before whispering something in my ear.
My only response was, " Tch, I knew that! Only a complete and utter IDIOT wouldn't notice that the door and people are acts of genjutsu!" I pushed him slightly, causing him to fall behind me and I continued to walk onwards.
This time, my choice in action was different however. This time I wanted to show off my knowledge to the people around us.
" Oi brat! You're not allowed in there!" The man's face looked down on him, a glare of distaste.
" Hn, I didn't want to go in. This isn't where I'm heading, this is merely a genjutsu to fool those who are unworthy of becoming Chunins."
"Tsk! You got us..." A puff of white smoke blurred my vision before I saw that the figures had changed. They now wore proper ninja gear that conveyed their status as Chunin or higher.

" Well, are you going to go to the class now?" I glanced up at the male, remaining stoic and aloof before I merely grunted in acknowledgement. I then sauntered away, Naruto and Sakura scurrying after me. We almost made it to the door when we heard a squeaky, enthusiastic voice.
I turned around to find a scrawny boy wearing the most HORRENDOUS green bodysuit and also fashioning bandages around his arms. His face was lit with determination and excitement. " You there!" He pointed at Sakura, showing all of his teeth in a wide grin, " My name is Rock Lee! Will you go out with me?!".
I already knew the answer before it was spoken- well, screeched. "No way, baka! I only love Sasuke-kun!"
" Who's that?" The teenager asked, obviously hoping that he could destroy someone as supreme as ME.
"Hn." I grunted, gaining his attention.
Lee straightened up before declaring, " I challenge you to a battle for this fair lady's heart!".
I merely gave a sigh of annoyance before I quickly surveyed the setting around us. No one else was here besides his two teammates, a girl and a boy. The girl looked bored and slightly annoyed, while the boy was winking at someone behind me. I turned around, expecting to see Sakura or a different beautiful girl. There stood Naruto. He looked flustered from the attention, yet he gave a small smile back in the boy's direction.
I felt a tiny bit of annoyance at the situation before I brushed it off. I didn't like Naruto at all, why should I care if someone flirts with him? I turned back to my opponent and began to fight.
Author's Note: Contrary to multiple beliefs, I am NOT DEAD! [*Insert confetti bomb and cheering here*]. I am SO sorry for not updating sooner, I was caught up with quite a lot of things and ended up neglecting my writing. Anyways, I'll try to make it up to you. Also, this isn't a Neji x Naruto fanfic (in case you were confused). I support the ship but that isn't where the story is headed, you shall find out why I put that in there later on.

White Mystic Fox In A Radical World
Under the cloak of midnight, behind the faint creaking sounds of metal bars, staring into the vast beautiful garden of twinkling stars and the gentle, lovely blue moon as its host, was the only fox girl living in the desolate mountain ranges of Maryland with an unknown background. The gleaming reflection of those flickering flowers in her meekly eyes, as well as her blossoming countenance of hardships, demonstrate both her innocence and independence, which has never been tainted by the outside world. A lovely flower eventually touched after thousands of years of living in peace, some bad elements plucked that flower from its natural habitat. The white fox girl never knows what's good and bad, letting them cage her effortlessly without minding their evil sneers because of her over-the-clouds excitement. Finally, the white fox girl realizes she has been treated as nothing more than a prey item ready to be devoured. She's staring at the night skies for a long time and slowly closes her eyes once she gets that divine premonition from somewhere else. It was soothing in the mind. Her lovely smile showed acceptance with tears flowing through her pinkish cheeks, and her consciousness began fading away. Before her senses faded, that glowing angel descended, knelt in front of her, and wiped away her tears. She doesn't know how to express her gratitude to the heavens above for blessing her with a fulfilling and peaceful life. Even if it was a mere single moment, that gratitude and that smile of hers were the happiest things she could ever express. Time has passed, and the sun has risen from its slumber. The soul of the thousand-year-old white fox girl finally ascended to heaven, leaving her lifeless, cold body behind, leaning against rusted metal poles. It was the most peaceful death everyone wished for. Painless and no regrets. The men in charge of the front didn't notice anything out of the ordinary going on behind them. Well... In common perspective and also in reality, a caged dead fox girl at the back of a horse-drawn carriage is no less than a funeral procession. Book found also on wattpad and webnovel.
