"Finish! Put your pencils down!" Ibinki yelled. "Now if you get question 10 wrong you will not be allowed to take the Chunin exams ever again. So raise your hands if you request to leave..."
She watched as Naruto raise his hand and slammed it against the desk and standing. "You can't frighten me! I will become Hokage! Whether I have to be a Genin forever or not!"
It was like everyone had this new hope and inspiration.
Naruto is truly amazing.
Sakura felt a hand on her thigh, she looked at it and said nothing, knowing it was Kabuto's. "You okay?"
"I'm fine." She whispered, a single tear rolled down her left cheek. Kabuto reached up slowly, and wiped it away with the back of his index finger.
"Tell me the truth..." He mumbled.
"It's complicated... I'm sorry..." She whispered. Closing her eyes.
"Why do you always push people away? And don't say you don't, cause I know you do." He said as he continued to rub shapes into her pants with his thumb.
"I'm just afraid, to get hurt again." She said.
He nodded as an excited Anko came through the window.
She threw a banner up with kunia. "Don't celebrate yet maggots! We are going straight to the second part of the exams!" And she left.
Sakura looked around and only saw about 25 teams left, she slowly stood up and walked out the door. Kabuto followed close by.
As they followed Anko, everyone was watching as the forest around them got quieter, and quieter.
About halfway there Kabuto reached over and laces their fingers. His hands were warm, soft and quite bigger than her's.
While her's are cold, rough, and tense. Actually, when Kabuto looked at her form, she was extremely tense. Her eyes daring around, looking for danger.
"Sakura, we will be fine until we get into the forest, relax." He whispered into her ear.
Sakura nodded once, but still visibly relaxed.
□■Meanwhile with Ibinki■□
He started to read through the back row ' papers slowly making his way to the front, there were a couple that were interesting, but what caught he eye was Sakura Haruno.
She got the kunia throwing problem correct.
'Question 3: Who should a shinobi's hero be?
I don't believe in heroes.' He read.
'This girl is really somethin'... I should search her file' He thought to himself.
'We are just tools for out kage, lover, friends, or family. At one point we must kill them all, depending where our loyalty lays. Everyone hopes to relieve war, but we just create it. So... nothing.'
'Interesting...'
●■□Back to the Chunin Exams□■●
Sakura was at her gate entrance with a Heaven scroll, Kabuto told her he also has a heaven scroll.
They had decided that they would walk straight to each other, battle some other people, take their scroll, spend a day in the forest, and go to the middle tower.
And that they did, 30 minutes later Sakura was standing there about to fight to get her a scroll, Kabuto already got one from some rookies.
Sakura stood across from a boy with blonde hair, sunshine yellow. Blue eyes, sky blue, and an orange shirt.
It wasn't Naruto that for sure. He didn't have whiskers, he was short, and quiet. But it made her heart hurt just to see him. But she stood her ground.
"I'm Nazuga. And you are?" He asked politely.
"Sakura..." She said queitly.
"What a fitting name..." He chuckle and tossed her an... Earth scroll. She caught it with ease and raised an eyebrow at him.
"There's no way I could beat you, so just take it." He slowly turned around and walked away.
She slowly looked at the scroll, she couldn't sense any chakra on it so she decided it was real.
She slowly walked to where she sensed Kabuto's chakra. He wasn't far, he was calm and was most likely setting up a camp by a river, close to the tower.
