I am so glad Kit forgot our bet that we made in our last UNO game. That would've been bad. She is so brutal.

I'm not too tired yet, so I'm going to watch what's going on in the outside world.

I look out and see a box shaped rock following Naruko around. Tch, so obvious. Naruko began to run back and forth like an idiot and the 'rock' kept following.

She finally stopped and pointed, "That's the worst disguise of all time, there's no such thing as a square rock." She put her hands on her hips. "It's completely obvious!"

"You saw through my camouflage again," the rock said. "You're quick boss, just what I'd expect from my greatest rival!"

The rock then began to glow. Like it was about to explode or something- oh crap.

"Woah," Naruko shouted before 3 dust bombs went off in the colors pink, yellow, and blue.

Three kids appeared and they were on the ground coughing up a storm.

"I think we used a little too much gunpowder guys," The one with the blue scarf said.

They all jumped up at once and introduced themselves, but I didn't care to listen.

"Yeah, I knew it was you guys," Naruko deadpanned. She put her hands on the back of her head and looked down at them. "Hey what are those things? Those goggles on top of your heads?"

The one with the scarf laughed. "You used to wear goggles, remember? So we're copying you!"

Naruko looked unimpressed. "Uh-huh."

Blue scarf kid got all butt hurt. "Hey! What's up with you boss? You oughta be more excited!"

Naruko kept her unimpressed face on. "So... did you want something?"

I laughed in her mind. I banged my head on the bars of my cage.

'Shut up Foxy, I'm in a bad mood.' She retorted, rolling her eyes after she replied.

Blue scarf brat wrapped his arm around the snot nosed brat and said, "He's just trying to be cool."

I told her.

Orange haired brat spoke up next. "Hey! You know what we want. Are you busy now?"

'Crap.' I heard Naruko think to herself. 'I don't want to play with those kids.

She put on a small smile, "Ummm..." She then brought her hand up and pointed at herself. "I have to train, believe it."

"What?!" blue scarf yelled, "But you promised that you would play ninja with us today! Come on!"

"Sorry guys, heh heh...heh," She said rubbing the back of her neck looking sheepish, "Did I really say that?"

'Ugh, if I say yes, these kids will be bugging me all day.' Naruko complained in her head.

Then, a depressed Sakura entered the scene. "A ninja playing ninja? That's just twisted," She said.

Naruko fake jumped. "Oh hey Sakura, didn't see you there..." She said rubbing the back of her head. She then began to fake laugh really hard and made her henged face go red.

"Boss, who's that girl anyway?" blue scarf asked. You could see his face trying to work out the answer. It was probably going to be the wrong, but hilarious one. "Ah!" he yelled like he finally got it. "Oh I get it," he said rubbing Narukos' back. "You're a smooth operator, boss."

"Uh..." Naruko started confused.

"Come on, I know that she's your," he put his pinky up, "girlfriend."

"HUH?!" Sakura grunted.

Naruko decided to play along for who knows what reason. "Well, you know," she started rubbing the back of her neck, "you can tell that she's really crazy about me and everything..."

"ARG," an angry Sakura yelled, "THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!" She punched Naruko and sent her flying.

"BOSS!" Blue scarf yelled.

Naruko went tumbling threw the fence and you could see the angry green aura surrounding pinky.

"What kind of girlfriend are you?" the runt yelled, angering her further.

I trailed.

'What?' She thought.

I told her, shaking in my boots.

'Yeah, I'm pretty sure she used chakra in that punch.' Naruko started. 'If I were a guy, I'd be scared too.'

I asked thinking about the blonde.

'Tsunade.' Naruko answered easily. 'Sakura could become a great ninja under her tutelage.'

"You're a witch and you're ugly too!" Blue scarf runt screamed at Sakura.

I said quaking in fear at the sight of Sakura.

Blue scarf began to scream and let's just say, that he and Naruko got a good beat down...

"Hmf," Sakura said as she started to walk away.

"I don't even think she's human," Blue scarf said. "Have you seen how wide her forehead is?"

Stupid stupid stupid boy. How I hate you so so much. And now, I feel sorry for you.

Sakura stopped in her tracks. She turned around slowly with a creepy look on her face. He's right, she isn't human.

I screamed in my hosts mind, almost peeing my pants.

They all started to run and Sakura was in pursuit with inhuman speed.

I cried loudly.

We were all stopped in our tracks when blue scarf ran into a big dude with weird paint on his face.

"Do you need something?" he questioned. Blue scarf was picked up by his well, blue scarf. "Do need something you little runt?"

"Put him down Kankuro, or you know you'll pay for it later," The girl with four ponytails in her hair said.

"Hey I'm sorry, the whole thing was my fault," Sakura apologized.

"You better take your hands off him right now!" Naruko screamed. She was actually about to jump into action, but I held her back with my words.

She was about to retort, but Kankuro spoke again.

"We have a few minutes before he gets here, let's mess up these little punks, what do you say?"

I warned Naruko.

Blue scarf began to kick face paint. "Let go of me you jerk!"

"You're feisty one aren't you? You won't be for long," he taunted while a small smirk appeared.

Naruko began to run at him angrily, but with mask still in place. "Put him down!"

'She must feel some sort of attachment to this kid.' I thought to myself.

All of a sudden, a chakra coil hit Naruko and she fell to the ground.

"What was that?" she questioned.

"You're only a genin too? Your village is full of wimps," Kankuro taunted.

'If only he could see what I could really do, he'd lose his face.' Naruko began to laugh evilly in her mind that brought me chills.

Women are scary; very scary.

"Konohamaru," snot nose and orange hair cried out.

"C-Cut it out," Konohamaru stated trying to struggle out of his grip. "It hurts!"

"That's it, drop him now or I'll tear you apart," Naruko said scarily, dropping her mask for a brief second. She quickly put it on and pointed at them with a stupid look on her face. "Got that?"

Sakura put Naruko into a neck hold and began to choke her. "You little fool," She hissed. "You think making threats will help us right now?"

"You're annoying," Kankuro taunted yet again, "All of you. When weaklings like you go," He continued as he pointed at Naruko, "go and run your mouth," He held Konohamaru tighter. "I just want to break them in half."

The little brats were crying and the Genin looked at them in surprise.

"Fine," The blonde one said with hidden amusement, "But I'm not involved in any of this, kay?"

Paint face smirked. "First, I'll take care of this little squirt, then I'll mess up the other ones." He brought back his hand and was about to punch him when a rock hit him.

Thank the lord for Sasuke!

"You're a long way from home and way out of your league," he said putting a practiced Uchiha face on that he only wore when he was with people outside of his team and brother.

"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed like the fangirl she was.

"Look at that, another one to tick me off," Kankuro hissed.

Sasuke took the rock and crushed it like the cool dude he was. "Get lost," he said letting the dust run out of his hands. He's so cute when he tries to be cool. He's perfect for my Naruko!

"AW, SO COOL," Sakura and orange hair screamed.

Nu-uh. He belongs to Naruko.

Naruko just looked unimpressed.

"How come you're not cool like that?" Konohamaru accused.

Naruko was hurt. Literally emotionally hurt.

"Hey, what do you mean?" she said putting a hand on his shoulder, "I could've taken out that guy in two seconds flat."

"Hey punk," Kankuro yelled at Sasuke, "why don't you get down here? You're just a pesky snot nosed brat, just like the others." He started to unwrap something.

"What?" The girl started to freak out. "You're going to use the Crow for this?"

He brought it down next to him with a hard look on his face.

"Kankuro," a raspy voice said. "Back off."

I said in a low voice.

'Gotcha.' Naruko said seriously. 'But that's not Shukaku, that's just the host.'

I apologized.

"You're an embarrassment to our village," said a boy with red hair hanging upside down. "Have you forgotten the reason we came all the way here?"

"H-Hey Gaara," Kankuro stuttered. "A-And no, I didn't think... I was just, they started the whole thing really. Here's what happened-"

"Shut up," Gaara stated bluntly, "Or I'll kill you."

"R-Right Gaara, I was totally out of line..." he gulped, "I'm sorry Gaara, I was totally out of line."

How is he so scary that he had to repeat himself?

"I'm sorry," he stated to Sasuke, making a total 180, "for any trouble he caused." He used his sand to transport to the ground. "Let's go, we didn't come here to play games."

"Alright, sure... I get it," Kankuro said.

Good, they're leaving.

"Hold on!" Sakura called out like an idiot who wants to get killed. Naruko was having similar thoughts.

"What?" the blonde one asked without turning around.

"I can tell from your headbands that you come from the village hidden in the sand," she started. "Of course the Land of Fire is your alley, but no shinobi can enter another village without permission."

'No dur.' Naruko and I thought in unison.

"So state your purpose and it better be good," she finished like she was all high and mighty. Was I really scared of her a minute ago?

They turned around and faced us.

"Really, have you guys been living under a rock or what," Temari said bored. "You really don't know what's going on, do you?" She brought out her identification. "We have permission. Of course you're correct, we are Hidden Sand Genin. Our home is in Wind Country and we're here for the Chunin exams. Get the picture?"

I stated.

"Chunin exams," Naruko stated dumbly, "What's that? Well I've never heard about any Chunin exams, believe it."

"I believe it all right," Temari scoffed, "That you're totally clueless."

I muttered.

"Boss, the exams are a test that Genin have to take to become full on Chunin," Konohamaru summed up.

"Oh, then why didn't you say so? I am so there!" Naruko shouted.

Sasuke jumped down from the tree as the others walked away. "Hey, you. Identify yourself!"

Oh, he's so cute trying to be all high and mighty. SOOOOO PERFECT FOR MY BABY GIRL!

"Who? You mean me," Temari asked dumbly blushing.

"No, him. The guy with the gourd on his back," he said shooting her down.

DATS MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"My name is Gaara of the Desert," Gaara stated, "I'm curious about you too, who are you?"

Sasuke grinned smugly. "I am Sasuke Uchiha."

"Hi there," Naruko said interrupting their moment. "I bet you're dying to know my name, right?"

"I couldn't care less," Gaara said and walked away with his siblings.

'Pffft, the only thing he has going for him is his looks.' Naruko huffed in her mind.

NOOOOOO!!! MY SHIP! IT MUST SAIL! NO MATTER THE COST!!!!!!!!!!!
