The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Kinoma vs Sashu

Kakashi and I eat our food in silence. Kakashi is eating Yakisoba and I am eating steak from a barbeque restaurant.

"So is tomorrow the final battle of the chunin exams?" Kakashi asked randomly.

"Yeah, it is a match between Kinoma Saru and Sashu Kimokaze." I reply.

"I heard about them, so are they good?" He asked.

"Well, there is a reason why they postponed the match until tomorrow. That reason is that they were both seriously injured. Kinoma nearly died from skull injuries, a collapsed lung, broken ribs, and his heart beat was fainting. Sashu wasn't nearly as bad though, she only had two broken patellas. So we decided that we give them a week to recuperate, so when they do battle they can give it their all. In all honesty, I don't know who will win. They are both skilled." I say as I think about their matches. I wonder how much they have grown since I have left them?

"That makes sense." Kakashi says as he puts his to go box in the trash and I do so too.

I look over at the clock.

Its already 8, I need to get some rest.

"Hey Kakashi?" I ask.

"Hm?"

"I am going to sleep early, I need to get some rest. Wake me up early." I say as I walk to my room to sleep.

"Sure." I hear as I close my door.

*** Time skip 10 hours ***

My eyes suddenly shoot open as I feel hands on my ankles. I feel myself go into the air and I activate my Shiakumangan to slow down time.

I turn myself mid air and use my chakra to stick to the wall. Then I resume time.

"What the heck Gramps! I told you to wake me not throw me into the wall!" I shout, obviously not liking the way Kakashi woke me up.

"You told me to wake you up, but you didn't tell me how to wake you up. I simply took this chance to throw you into a wall. Obviously that didn't work the way I thought it would, but nice reflexes." Kakashi says simply.

"Why would you want to throw me into the wall, Gramps?" I ask as I walk down the wall and onto the floor.

"It was merely a test to test your reflexes, even if you just waken up. For being woke up suddenly like that, you were quick to activate your Shiakumangan." Kakashi says as he walks out of my room and closes the door behind him.

Thanks Gramps.

I quickly grab my clothes and put them on and walk out of my room and into the kitchen.

Kakashi is standing at the counter with two bowls of plain rice.

"Thanks Gramps!" I shout as I grab my bowl and start eating the rice.

I suddenly freeze and I slowly look up to see Kakashi pulling his mask down. My eyes widen.

I look back down and eat my rice slowly, trying to tell when Kakashi has completely pulled down his mask.

My Shiakumangan activates and stops time. I look up at Kakashi, and oh my god!

Gramps is what would you say, not old. Matter of fact, he looked the complete opposite. He has a chiseled jaw and that's basically it.
