Ishina was jumping on some branches when she felt a kunai thrown at her.

She imediately returned it but instead of 1 kunai she threw 6...

Ishina took out her katana and ran towards the direction and she directly slashed to that person.

They wore a forehead protector with Sunagakure's symbol. Once she saw it she jumped a few feet away. She stared at a man from Suna who seemed to be covered with bandages. (Aka Baki )

She also saw three other people who seemed to be siblings. She was annoyed, she just finished a mission!

Ishina was still in a stance and didn't let her guard down. Especially because the boy with the gourd release a murderous intent.

" What bussiness does Sunagakure had with me?" Ishina politely asked.

" We have no bussiness with you...Are you here to attempt to assasinate us before we arrive for the Chunnin Exam?"
The man said with a threatening voice.

After she heard this, she calmed down...she was already inform about the Chunnin exam before she left.

They must be one of the applicants. She thought.

She picked something from her pocket that made the man stayed on guard.
She took out her forehead protector and showed it to the man.
After the man saw this he calmed down.

" You're from Konoha?" He asked.

Ishina nodded and spoke.

" I'm away from my village since I was assigned by my sensei for a long term mission and I was now returning back."

" Is that so...then forgive me...I felt your presence and thought you were an assassin."

" It was a misunderstanding... I need to leave now...im too tired. We'll probably meet again." Ishina took a bow and left.

After she left, her words remained in the gourd boy's mind... He felt that the person was someone he used to know...

" I misunderstood...she was not an assassin. But a ninja from Konoha. Let's go ."

They continued their journey to Konoha.

Back to Ishina....

She continued her journey to Konoha and felt the presence of the Sunagakure ninjas.

She shrugged it since they are going for the Chunnin exam.

When she finally saw the gate , Ibiki was standing outside the gate smirking.

Ishina was annoyed looking at his face and she took out a kunai and dashed towards him.
He seemed to already know that this would happen so he readied himself for the impact.

When Ishina jumped towards him with an annoyed faces, he was smiling creepily.

The impact resulted to a small crater .
Izumu and Kotetsu were frightened but they were already told by Ibiki that this would happen.

" You're being rash with your attacks!" Ibiki yelled.

" I know! I'm tired okay!!! It's been months okay! Those weaklings keep me awake with their creepy laughs."

" No wonder your attacks were rusty! I've been told that your punch is dangerous! I just need to avoid them!"

"Hehehehehe....heck! I'm beginning to lose my sanity." Ishina was laughing like a maniac.

She continued punching but she always ended up punching the ground. She was not serious with the fight... Cause if she was serious she would have used seals by now.

Ibiki kept dodging her attacks.

The Sunagakure ninjas arrived and saw the scene where two Konoha ninjas were fighting. They recognized the other one as the ninja they incountered.

Izumu and Kotetsu saw them and gestured them to go inside and ignore the fight.
But they stayed at the gate to watch the fight. Baki was impressed with the fight and wondered if they actually fought.

" What happened?" Baki asked.

"Don't worry about them... Its something between a sensei and a student. It's just a friendly fight...i guess?" Kotetsu explained.

After a while the fighting stoped and they saw Ishina stopped inches away from Ibiki's face with her fist. She suddenly dropped down on the ground.

Ibiki put her in his shoulders like a sack and walked towards the gate. He was laughing while he walked towards the gate.

The two guards sweat dropped seeing it.
"Um.. Sir Ibiki... is Ishina alright? "  Izumu asked.

"You should worry about me instead. If she were serious I'd already lost. She's just sloppy in the match since she's tired. The mission made her awake. And with her condition it's probably many days. "

"What would have happened if she was not tired?"

" Who knows?" With that Ibiki left.

The Sunagakure ninjas entered Konoha after watching the fight.

"You saw the fight...there will always be stronger ninjas." Temari nodded and did Kankuro.

Garaa looked angry. " I'll just kill them."
They became silent at his reply.

Back at Ishina.

Ibiki carried her towards Hiruzen's office office and knocked.

" Lord Hokage...I've brought her"

Hiruzen looked at the sleeping girl and chuckled.

" Let her sleep in her house...she needs rest." Hiruzen said.

Ibiki just laughed when he left.

He brought her to her house and put her to a couch in the living room.

Ishina was sleeping peacefully he covered her with a blanket and left the house.

(BACK WITH GARAA)

Garaa sat on a couch in their room while Temari was sleeping in her bed and Kankuro was with his dolls.

Garaa looked at the roof and remembered the words of the girl 2 years ago.
He wore the necklace with the amulet from 2 years ago, he always wears it and it always  calmed him down whenever he grips on it.
Coincidence? Nope... (A/n: was it really a coincidence? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  )

He touche it slightly and took it out and looked at it .

Baki entered the room and saw the pendant that Garaa was holding.

"That's some nice pendant you got there." Baki complimented it but got a glare as a reply.

"The symbol looks like a clan crest. And I see that symbol in some of the uniforms here."
Baki explained.

" Do you think the owner of this amulet is from here?" Garaa asked which slightly shocked Baki as well as his siblings.

" It could be possible...that symbol is probably involved with Konoha's history...it is put in the uniforms."

Garaa became quiet and nodded.
Baki left and his siblings continued doing their things.
Garaa remembered the girl 2 years ago and he thought that she had a similarity with the girl whom Baki misunderstood as an assassin. Especially because both of them have a similarity.
He looked at the roof and remembered the girls words.

The world is unfair.... It was not your choice.

Those were the words that he can't seem to forget.
