Chapter 28: The Final Rounds: Neji vs. Naruto

Finally, the day I have been waiting for. The final round of the Chunin Exams. As well, as the day I have been anticipating. Today is the day I will fight Chikako. My old friend. She was somebody I used to trust wholeheartedly, but now... Now she wanted me dead. I felt my eyes begin to water, yet I did nothing and let them fall. I wanted my old friend back.

"Because there is only one reason I joined the Chunin exams..." She smirked before turning towards me. "And that is to fight Himawari Hyuuga! I refuse to fight anybody but her."

"This is going to be hard!" I complained. In the past Chikako used the art of puppetry, making her a long range fighter. However, her speed was way faster than mine. Which is why I had needed to train my speed. Kinda regretting whom I trained with. Gai-sensei. Note to self: don't ask Tenten to train with her team.

I donned my old outfit. Not the boring standard Hyuga one. That was so bland. No the white one. The one with the long sleeved net shirt, and the white tank top at ended before my belly button. With the white skirt that was split on the left side that had net shorts underneath.

Next, I slipped my Aqua green strap on that held my sword to me. Then, I wrapped my precious white scarf around me. If I smelled deeply enough the lingering scent of Haku was still there. I wiped my eyes feeling the tears that almost fell. I won't cry, not today. I opened my door to see Hinata in the motion to knock.

"Good morning Sis. What's up?" I asked smiling.

"I was just making sure you didn't sleep in..." She stared at me eyeing my outfit. "Haruka won't like that."

"Well Haruka can shove it." I retorted. Something was behind me. I could feel it's evil presence and rage.

"What was that?!" Haruka shouted with dark thunder clues around her.

"I'm going to wear whatever I want." I told her firmly. "I've been on my own about this a long time. I don't need it be dressed by an adult. I refuse to conform to the Hyuuga clothes style, it's a bore."

However, before Haruka could yell back something nudged my leg and came out. Hinata and Haruka both gushed at the sight of her. I quickly picked her up.

"This is Hoshi." I held her like a cat as Hinata and Haruka stroked her fluffy body. "That reminds me. Hinata can you bring her to the final round. I need to go pick up some last minute weapons, but I want her to get used to seeing fighting,"

"Yeah, I'd love too." Hinata reapplied gently picking her up.

•–—–• Later, Exams are staring

We all stood in the middle of the arena. Well, everyone but Dosu and Sasuke. They weren't here yet. An an added information Naruto was late. I mean he's here now, but still I don't want hi. Catching Kakashi's disease.

"Good luck, Hima." Shika yawned rubbing his head. "With your skills you'll probably win the Chunin Exam, and if you end up having to fight Gaara you've got water style. Unlike me, I'll probably lose the first round."

"Yeah, that's true. I'm not so sure I'd win though, the whole exam I mean. There are a lot of strong opponents." I replied nervously. I could barely hear him for all the people in the audience screaming. "And I'm sure if you really tried you could win."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to the Hidden Village of Konoha's Chunin selection exam today. We will now begin the main matches with the ten that have passed the preliminaries."  Gramps yelled to the crowd. "Please enjoy the matches.
