Sasukes twin sister (Naruto x Natsuki Uchiha) ON HOLD

Chapter 29: the preliminary exams: Natsuki vs ??

Natsuki POV

We were led to this massive room with two screens and two massive hands but together to form ram hand sign

"First of all I'd like to congratulate all of you that finished the second exam"

Said Anko who was standing a few people away from old man hokage in the massive line of jonin

For a hot minute every one was quiet minus the few people have their own little conversations

"Hey look all 10 leaf rookies are here too"

Said sakura and immediately after blondie said

"Wohoah, everybody is here"

"Will you two shut up, I'm counting"

I said earning weird looks from the pastel haired idiots

*sigh* "I'm counting how many are here and ranking them from which ones I'd be fine with fighting to I do t even want to be I the same room as"

I said answering their unspoken questions and sakura made a noise of understanding and Naruto just said

"Heh?"

To which I ignored him and Anko called

"Alright lord third is gonna explain the rules now, so listen carefully rookies, lord hokage, they're all yours"

Stepping up the old man said

"Before I tell you the rules, I want to explain something about the test itself, listen closely because you all need to understand, first why do you think we hold these exams in conjunction with our allies in the first place, to raise the ability levels of the shinobi and foster friendship yes, but it's important you all know it's true meaning, the exams are, so to speak, they're a representation of the battle between allied nations, now I'd we look back at our history, all the country we're currently allied with were once neighbouring nations that once fought for power and land, in order to avoid destroying each other's military strength meaninglessly, those nations picked jebkins to do battle on behalf of their countries in a mutually selected location, that was hoe the chunin selection exams originally began, this exam is to show how much military strength our nation has and if it deemed strong than it will get more job requests, the ninja that pass these exams will have to carry the pride of their nation to show loyalty to their home and people"

He said and hearing all that gave me a headache and others from other teams started asking questions like 'then why do we have to risk our lives' and he'd answer with something about honouring our village or something

"Alright now that that is out of the way I'll tell you all the details of the third exam"

And then a jonin jumped down from the heavens ir something and asked old man hokage yo speak as proctor of the third exam

"There is something I would like you all to do before the third exam, we need to have a preliminary round before we can move into the next one because of so many people passing"

He said getting cut off by coughing fits

"Any way if your not feeling in your best physical condition now's your time to bow out"

He said once again cutting himself off by coughing

'Talk about not you best physical condition'

I thought to myself and the proctor said again

"After everyone who wishes to leave us gone the preliminary will begin immediately"

'Seriously, we just finished almost dying in the last exam"

I thought rolling my eyes in annoyance and the proctor once again chimed in

"Oh and the winners will be determined by the victors of one on one battles"

'God fuck, now I don't even have my
Nii-Chan to help'

Now I was pretty pissed, I suddenly felt a jolt of pain and flinched but I noticed my Nii-Chan grab his shoulder

"Are you two okay"

Asked pinky probably aiming that towards Nii-Chan

"You two listen to me, you have to quit"

And I went wide eyed when she says that

"You two have been like this ever since your tangle with that orochimaru, and it's getting worse, it's that mark isn't it, you two can't lie to yourself forever, please just quit, before, well I don't know what, I'm scared"

And when she said that I did the unthinkable, I hugged her

"You underestimating us?"

I said and she seemed to calm down a little

"Okay, but if it gets worse I'm telling the jonin and they're taking you out"

I let go and nodded and out of the corner of my eye I see kabuto raise his hand and step out

'Thank god I won't be seeing him'

I thought and the proctor announced that the preliminary round would be beginning and he started going through the rules

"Alright, the first pair will be chosen"

He said and turned to the screen which started scrolling through names until it landed on
