Aki, Fuyu, Haru, Natsu | Sasuke Uchiha ♥ Story |

Fuyu 08.

Fuyu 08

“Alright,” Soma began, landing into a small clearing with his teammates following suit. “I think the best thing for us to do at this moment is to come up with some sort of plan.”

Ritsu nodded his head before looking over at his female teammate, Fuyu. “Got anything brewing in that pretty little head of yours, Fu'?”

Fuyu's round cheeks tinted a light pink. “Not yet. I can't exactly come up with a plan without knowing who we're going to be up against.” she responded, adverting her gaze to the canopy of trees and vines above them. 

“But I can come up with some sort of strategy, one that utilizes all the things we have around us.” she offered, a small smile forming on her lips. 

Soma nodded his head. “In the meantime, how about we go look for our first targets?” he offered, before sprinting off into the shrubbery, soon Ritsu and Fuyu followed suit.

A small frown replaced the smile that was previously on Fuyu's lips. You both should know that I don't do well under pressure like this. Especially when there's so much on the line. 

Her right hand tensed slightly. 

What if the plan I come up with...fails? 

:-:-:

After sprinting from tree branch to tree branch since the beginning of the exam, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura all landed into a large clearing, one that gave them an almost complete view of their surroundings. 

“We need to come up with some sort of key word of phase that will let us know who our real enemies are, just in case we get separated.” Sasuke suggested, quickly scanning the expressions that were on his teammates faces. 

“Why? Do you really think either of us will get ambushed that easily, Sasuke-?”

“It's you I'm concerned about, Naruto.” Sasuke interrupted. “You're the most air-headed out of the 3 of us.” 

Naruto's mouth snapped open just as he was about to retort something back to his bastard of a teammate. 

“Be quiet and listen to what Sasuke has to say, Naruto!” Sakura exclaimed quietly, holding up a single fist to the blond. 

“Alright, alright.” Naruto responded, holding his palms up in an innocent fashion. 

Sasuke let out a silent sigh. “If we get separated and come into contact with each other once again, one of us will ask 'Who is the god of the Storms and sea? Whom also obtains the Kusanagi sword?' the other must answer 'Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Futshuchi. The brother of Amateratsu.' any other answer should alarm you.”

Sakura nodded her head firmly, catching onto every word that just previously flowed from Sasuke's blanched lips. 

“Could you repeat it once more? I didn't get any of it?” Naruto asked, pouting slightly. 

“How could you not've gotten it? I memorized it instantly!” 

“I'm not repeating it Naruto.” Sasuke responded simply, an invisible smirk pulling at the corner of his lips. 

“I just wanted to make sure I got it all right!” Naruto fibbed. 

“This exam is going to be a piece of cake, everything is already going so smoothly.” Naruto expressed, reaching his hands out to the sky. 

“I wouldn't be saying such things so soon, Naruto.” Sakura sighed “We've still yet to get the other scroll, then on top of that, there's over 81 other people aiming for the same thing.”
