A ninja to remember

13.

Attack

"The third and final chunin exam is about to begin. All contestants please make your way to the arena" a loud voice boomed over the arena, rattling my bones.

"Dammit where the fuck are you Naruto" I whispered into the wind, goosebumps raising on my arms. Not too far away, a shout came up from the ground.

"Ahhh you said this was a short cut!!!"

Final. What is the word. A last. A finish. A thing that is to complete another. Why though? For us? For satisfaction? And what would it mean for it to go uncompleted? Would the world come to a standstill? Would it end? No. It won't. I won't. I'm going to win. No matter what. If I have to fight with every fibre of my being. I WILL FIGHT.

                         •     •     •

My breath came in gasps as I stood in front of the bar that separated the arena from the stand. My knuckles turned white. Words of destiny, believe, and fate wafted with the wind towards me. Beads of sweat fell down my face as I though about my potential opponent.
'What would happen if Asshat showed up? Would I not pass by default. No don't think that shitty brain. They have to give you a chance' I thought, my panic driven mind racing.

Hinata placed her hand gently on mine. We had become quiet close. I just didn't believe I had to fight her potentially. She was the only one without an opponent, a wild card like me. I had to. What would happen if she lost. A Hyūga against a pathetic girl like me. What would happen.

My ordeal was number two if Sasuke didn't show, but it would be number five if he did, after shikamarus and before Shino's. I continued to grip the bar as I held onto hope that Naruto would win. My hope dwindled as I saw his body, curled into the foetal position. I sighed in annoyance and turned away.

A loud crunch erupted as fist connected with neck and sent Neji flying. Naruto was victorious. He ran about blowing kisses into the crowd crowing with victory.

Sasuke was late. So Shikamaru was up next. I waited tensely as he have up.
'Tch lazy bastard' I thought as he came up the stairs. I stressed as Asshat and Kakashi sensei arrived in a flurry of leaves. In punishment. For their tardiness, Asshats fight was pushed to be after mine.
"Next up is Sora Daniels against Hinata Hyūga" called a voice.

I leapt down and stood to face my best friend.
"Are you two ready?" Asked the Procter. I gave a slight nod in reply and got into a fighting stance as Hinata activated her Byakugan.

She advanced first, using her Eight Trigrams. I dodged not wanting to hurt her. She suddenly hit me, her palm slapping my side. I got down on all fours and coughed. I stood and advanced saying I'm sorry under my breath.

I used only Tai Jutsu again as I didn't want to injure her, she'd gone through enough with that fight against Neji.
I continued, lashing out with my fists and feet. But she kept on dodging them.

I suddenly built up my anger in my one fist and aimed it at her.
'Damn she dodged again' I cursed myself as I jumped back. I looked at her and was amazed to see that she was crying.

"I don't want to hurt you" she called.
"You have to" I answered so that only she could hear. I ran towards her outstretched palm and whacked it away, making an opening for her to hit my chest.

She took it.

I felt the chakra points close as I fell to my knees and coughed again. I flopped to my side and onto the ground as the winner was announced.

"... Hinata Hyūga"

Cheers erupted from around me as I was taken upstairs to the balcony again. My injuries weren't serious so I didn't need medical care right that minute so I stood with my back facing to the wall.

I watched as Sasuke attempted to hurt Gaara and white feathers fell from the sky. My curse mark tripled in pain as the others fell to the ground. I clamped my lips shut as went onto my hands and knees.

I couldn't. I couldn't fight it. It spread to the edge of my face, covering it in marks shaped like dragons wings. Turning my eyes black as I saw a poof come from the hokages box.

My conscious again was  trapped in a cage, a woman on the outside.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
"Now she asks well child I am Yuri the 0 tailed beast" said the woman.

"SHERLOCK" I shouted but suddenly remembered I left him at home. I couldn't do anything as I watched my body go on a frenzy. Injuring loads of ninja and then taking off towards the forest.

Leaving the leaf village behind.
"Where are we going?" I asked her.
"There's no need for questions. Sleep" she said, in a hypnotic tone. My conscious fell to the floor, as the 0 tails took full control of my body.

OMG first a/n! Hello! My name is Charlie chan. I hope you liked the first 13 chapters in my book. Now, this chapter is going to be off the plot a bit. The characters aren't about to go off and find Tsunade just yet. They need to get Sora back. Also who do you think she should have as a boyfriend?

Naruto? Or Sasuke?
