My Belated Apology - Hyuga Neji x OC Fanfiction

Chapter 9

Shiyuki's POV

"Sasuke-kun, you wak-" Sakura happily yells.
Sasuke stands up. There're marks all over his right side. What is that? What's wrong with this monstrous chakra?

"Sakura... Who made you like this...?"
"I did!"  The sound ninja says.
"Sasuke! Your body...?"
"Don't worry... Not only that, I feel power overflowing from within me... I feel great. I finally understand that I'm an avenger..."

Avenger? Is that about the Uchiha clan's massacre?

"It was you guys, right?"
"Ino, this is bad! You'll get caught up! Return to your body!!" The pineapple boy screams.
The Sound girl release some jutsu in a hurry.

This is a monster's chakra...

"Dosu! No need to be afraid of this half-dead freak!!"
"No Zaku, don't you realize?!" Yeah, doesn't he realize that Sasuke has turned into a monster?

"Ultimate Zakuha!" Zaku uses his strongest technique to land an atttack on that Uchiha boy.
Wow, that's strong! It wipes away all the trees around him. But I bet that it's no use on Sasuke. Is Sakura okay? And Lee?

"Heh, I've blown him away."
"Blown who away?" Suddenly, Sasuke appears behind him.
"Mistical Fire Flower!"
"I'll blast them away!" Zaku smirks to realize that there are shurikens in the flames.

Sasuke now has the dominance. 
Then breaks Zaku's arms.

What is this strength? Is the Uchiha clan that powerful?

Sakura cries in fear, holds Sasuke from behind.

"Stop... Please... stop it...!"
Somehow, the marks on Sasuke's side fade away.
Dosu puts their 'Earth' scroll on the ground.
"You are strong. We can't defeat you this time. Here's a gift to you. Please let us leave."
" This may seem convenient," He continues. "but there's something we must find out now. But I will promise you this... If there's another situation where we meet in this exam, we will neither run nor hide."

The Sound ninjas are about to leave when Sakura calls them back.
"Wait! Who's that Orochimaru?! What has he done to Sasuke-kun? Why is he aiming at Sasuke-kun?"
"I don't know. We were just merely ordered to kill Sasuke."

When the Sound nins have left, the pineapple guy calls.
"Hey! Are you all okay? Ino, please take care of Lee."
I jump down from the tree, say to that Ino girl.
"Please leave Lee to me. He's my teammate."

No sooner am I about to heal Lee than Tenten follows me down here. She grabs Lee, then shakes him hard.
"WAKE UP, LEE! WAKE UPPP!!"

I sweat drop.

"Ah, Tenten! Why are you here?"
"To save you!!"
"Where're the Sound?" Lee looks around.
"Sasuke has sent them away." I answer, heal his ears temporarily.
"Why did you break the plan and act alone? Plus you're all beaten up." Tenten reproaches.
"Sakura was in danger. As a man, I couldn't just watch..."

Lee is very strong, he would never lose to those Sound nins. Oh my foolish fellow...

"You're such an idiot!!"
"Haha, I can't argue with you there..." Lee seems to be depressed.

Out of all the sudden, Naruto jumps and shouts with laughter.
"Ahahaha, it's Bushy Brow!!"
"How you dare to be rude to Lee-san!!" Sakura beats him. "Thanks a lot, Lee-san. I've learnt something. I'm a bit stronger now...!"
"Seem that I didn't practise enough. The Uchiha clan sure is great. To drive off those Sound nins, you are the owner of incredible power. I got my butt kicked..." Sasuke's shocked. "The Leaf lotus blooms twice. In the next time we meet, I promise to be stronger."

We stuck to Neji-kun's plan and easily got the remaining scroll. We have made it through the second round of the Chunin exam. Enter the third round, we are explained about the purpose of this examination by the Hokage.
The first and second test may have been too easy this year, there are too many people remaining, so we must have a preliminary.
