SASUKE: Rebuilding The Uchiha Clan

Chapter 16 - Preparations for the Tournament

Team Ino-Shika-Cho were walking toward their rooms to rest, their hair was all ruffled with leaves here and there and their clothes were disheveled, torn in some places. Sakura was taking a walk while looking for Sasuke who still hadn't come back, and when she saw the battered state of Ino she laughed her a.s.s off and Ino had a helpless face and just shrugged it off, too tired to argue with her. She separated from her team and went with Sakura to talk and look for Sasuke together, when they passed outside a particular door, they heard some weird noises and stopped in their tracks, they put their ears close to the door with red faces and when they heard a woman's voice mentioning Sasuke's name between m.o.a.ns they trembled a bit and Sakura wanted to rush inside but was stopped by Ino, "what are you doing, what if it's not Sasuke in there? Let's wait hidden over there and see who comes out after a while", Sakura could only reluctantly acquiesce and follow Ino to hide. Just when they were becoming restless after waiting for almost 2 hours in which the l.e.w.d sounds didn't stop at all, the door was finally opened and they stood there in their hiding spot completely frozen from what they saw. They saw Sasuke coming with the examiner Anko holding his arm, and her face was glowing with happiness, just like a little girl in love. They didn't know what to think or what they should do in this circ.u.mstance. Sasuke who already felt them hidden decided to ignore them and act as if he didn't notice them, not wanting to deal with this awkward situation, he just pulled Anko in the direction he felt Tsunade to talk on the matter regarding Orochimaru and his presence in the Chuunin Exams.

Sasuke clone birds were watching over the rest of the rookies, ensuring that none of them died during this test in the forest of death, but he wouldn't interfere unless they were in mortal danger so as to not affect their growth, and he was also watching over TenTen just in case. The clone watching over Karin's team was looking with interest as they fought against the sound team, his interest was focused on Shinta specifically, as this was the first time he paid serious attention to him. 'Hmm? Now that I look closer, this guy really resembles a woman, but according to my medical knowledge I can clearly see he's a man, how weird... And his fighting method is contradictory, he has swift release but his body is way too weak to use it to it's full, he insists on fighting b.a.r.e handed and ends up injuring himself more than the opponent, if he only used weapons he could devastate them...' He thought as he watched Shinta appearing and disappearing everywhere, constantly annoying his enemies with his weak strikes and he even had a broken arm from punching Zaku(the sound ninja with tubes on his hands that uses air pressure), unfortunately he only received a bruise on his face from this blow, laughed and tried to blow Shinta away using air pressure but he was already away interrupting Dosu(sound team leader) from beating Sai, giving Sai enough time to finish a tiger drawing which attacked the distracted Dosu, but he just waved his arm using a sound wave to destroy the tiger while Karin's body was full of senbons barely standing even tough she evaded hits to her vitals she was using too much energy to fight against Kin(sound girl) sound-based genjutsu. Zaku managed to land a hit on Sai using air pressure, successfully knocking him out, and as Shinta tried to hit Dosu who was trying to get the scroll from Karin, he was blown away from a sound wave. Just as he was about to hit his head on a tree, he was caught by Rock Lee who gave him a shining reassuring smile. "I promised I would protect you with my life now that you are my girlfriend ", the poor Shinta didn't know what to say, he felt like it was too late to reveal his gender now. Then Neji and TenTen arrived after Rock Lee, standing at his side ready to fight and just as the fight was about to break, Kiba, Shino and Hinata also arrived. Kiba had an irritated face as he looked at Rock Lee holding Shinta on his arms, he lashed out at him "hey bushy brows let Shinta go!", " why should I get away from my girlfriend?", Kiba couldn't take it anymore and revealed the secret Karin wanted to keep "Shinta is a man! And he doesn't want to be with you but was forced to because of Karin's twisted ideas" causing Rock Lee's brain to shut down, his neck stiffly moved down, looking at the beautiful face of the "girl" on his arms who looked at him innocently, big doe eyes blinking, that little pink mouth opened and revealed what would later be his biggest trauma, "it's true, I'm a man" and got down from Lee's embrace while he was paralyzed with his mouth wide open, Sasuke could swear he heard the sound of his heart breaking 'I hope you can recover from this one, maybe I should defy him to a competence of training or something to lift his spirits later'. Meanwhile the sound team took the chance to retreat, not wanting to fight all those Konoha Genins at the same time. After they managed to get away about 4 kilometers, a great fire engulfed them, not giving them a chance to evade they attempted to block it using wind jutsus but it was all for nothing, they were turned to ashes and the last thing they heard was: great fire annihilation in Sasuke's cold voice, '~ugh~ it seems I went overboard, the scroll was lost... Whatever, three pawns less for Pedomaru'.

After being saved by Rock Lee's appearance, Shinta, Karin and Sai decided to give him their scroll as thanks and apologize for what Karin did to him. Seeing this, Kiba defied him to a duel for the scroll they were missing, but Neji fought him instead since Lee was still in a soulless state and completely destroyed Kiba, sealing his chakra paths with a few strikes and they proceeded towards the tower. After four days passed, nobody else managed to obtain both scrolls, so there were only 4 teams who passed the second test.

As the teams who passed the test reunited in front of the Hokage. Tsunade explained the true purpose of the Chuunin exams, saying they were another way of waging war, then she talked about the last test. "The last test will consist of one to one battles, a lot of important guests will be present so we expect you to give your best. You have 1 month to prepare for it, and it will be conducted at Konoha's stadium, the format will be that of a normal tournament, so Anko, go and distribute the numbers, number 1 will fight 2, 3 fights 4 and so on". The results were: Shikamaru 1, Temari 2, Ino 3, Neji 4, Sakura 5, Choji 6, TenTen 7, Kankuro 8, Rock Lee 9, Sasuke 10, Naruko 11 and Gaara 12. Then they all walked over to their Jōnin senseis and left in onder to prepare for the tournament.

Sasuke, Naruko and Sakura went to meet Kakashi, who just gave a paper with a location to each and told them "tomorrow 8 in the morning go to the location written inside your paper, there you will meet the person who will help you train during this month, I ensure you'll be satisfied with the arrangement" and left. Sakura said "I'm sure Kakashi sensei didn't want to train us and just left the work to others, what a lazy ass" and Sasuke reassured them by saying "whoever trains you, you are sure to learn more than what you would learn if trained by Kakashi", to which Naruko nodded " he's right Sakura-chan, we wouldn't learn a thing from Kakashi, even though he's strong as a ninja, but he's too lazy to teach", leaving Sakura sighing "why did we have to get such an irresponsible sensei...".

The next day each went to their respective places. Sakura went to the hokage tower, she had high expectations, thinking that maybe Tsunade agreed to train her. In the waiting room she met with Ino and they looked at each other "you are also here for training?" "You too?!". Then, a beautiful lady with fair skin, short black hair, black eyes and wearing purple clothes holding a pig came to talk to them. " I'm Shizune, a medic nin and poison user, also Tsunade-sama personal student and assistant. For the following month I'll be teaching you both all I can, now come with me".

Naruko arrived at a waterfall close to Konoha, there she met a tall man, with long spiky white hair, red markings on his face, a big scroll on his back, green kimono and a red haori. He was squatting lazily near the water, picking his nose with his pinky finger, Naruko already met him once a few years ago, so she recognized him as her godfather, who didn't leave a good impression. As she was turning around to leave before being noticed, Jiraiya looked at her, raised his hand and with a stupid grin shouted "oy Naruko-chan! Come and give your beloved godfather a hug!". Naruko hastened her pace and Jiraiya was pursuing her with open arms and a perverted smile. " get away you ero-sennin! I'm not going to train under you, not in this life!" 'What was Kakashi sensei thinking by putting me under the care of this degenerate?!'. They kept running around until Naruko finally gave up and accepted to be trained by Jiraiya, under the condition of him keeping his perverted hobbies away from her.

Sasuke arrived at training ground 7 and sat for a while, waiting for the person assigned to train him, he decided to check his status window as to know how much he will improve from this training after a month.

Soon after, he saw Karin with a big smile dragging a tall man by the hand, he had decent features, Short brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin and was wearing the standard Jōnin attire. "Hurry up tou-san we're gonna be late to train Sasuke-kun", Karin said as she kept dragging the man who had a helpless smile because of his daughter's antics 'I'm the one training him, not you, so why are you even coming with me!' Of course he didn't dare to say that out loud, afraid she would put him as the main character of one of her books as punishment.
