The Wandering Ronin N

chapter 59

Last time

Hinata: sadly I didn't realize that he and the elders were planning something, while I was training. So the day of the chunnin exams arrive....

Now

Flashback

*Hinata was having a total mental breakdown. She and the rest of her team, were in the first part of the exam, they were doing the written portion. And Hinata was only able to answer 2 out of the 20 of them right, she looked up at the clock, and her mental breakdown turned into full blown panic, she only had 15 minutes left to write something. She wanted to cry, she wanted to crawl into a ball and just disappear from existence, since the more she read the questions, the more complicated they became*

Back to the present

Naruto:you know, I have this Shinobi friend. Well to be fair I have multiple Shinobi friends,

*Naruto said, stepping on kenshin's foot before he makes a face, now was not the time for their hatred for Shinobi to show*

Naruto:but this specific Shinobi friend, actually took the shinobi exam in Konoha at the same time as you.

Hinata: he did? What elemental nation was he from?

*Hinata asked with curiosity, chances are that she at least has seen this Shinobi at one point or another. Naruto just shrugged, while he raised his hand, to order another plate of dangos*

Naruto:he was from the sand village, but that's not important.

*Naruto said, the fact that he was of the sand village made Hinata flinch a little, since there were only 3 members of the sand village that came to the Konoha chunnin exams, Temari, Kankurō and.....him*

Naruto:what is important right now, is what he told me. He said that the objective of the first test, was to test out if you all could cheat, without getting caught. Since you Shinobi's whole thing, is getting information without getting caught, and assassinations without honor

*This time it was Kenshin who stomped on Naruto's foot, since he was close to letting his own hatred, for Shinobi to be let out. Hinata ignored it and just nodded*

Hinata:yes, ibiki told us that when the test was done...I still hate that man, he shortened my life expectancy. I mean, have you ever experienced someone so...terrifying?

Naruto:......Yes.

*Naruto leaned back a little, with a lazy smirk on his face, thinking of all the frankly terrifying things he has seen. While In the background Kenshin was ordering something other than dangos*

Naruto:safe to say I have. On many occasions in the civil war I was fighting, while you were in the chunnin exams.

*Naruto said, pointing at the scars he got from said war, Hinata flinched and started to feel embarrassed*

Naruto:in my travels around the elemental nations, while you and Kenshin stayed in your respected villages.

*Naruto said, thinking back, of his travel to outside the elemental nations, the things he saw....if he had 100 years, he wouldn't be able to explain it all*

Naruto:And of course, seeing that Shinobi scum killing emiko....

*Naruto said, and Hinata saw his smile disappear for a second, only for a second before he did something Hinata knows all too well, plaster on a happy face*

Naruto:But I get your point, you were scared, so please continue

Hinata:r..right

*Hinata said, thinking it best to move on, from said topic and back to her story*
