Beating Heart (Neji X Reader)

Chapter 9

We were already at the Forest Of Death, I shivered at the thought what might be there. We all were given a paper to if something happen to us Anko isn't responsible on any damage caused in there. We were given a scroll and I saw the guys we had to get the other from. I smirked but they seemed way more scared then us.

We all went towards a gate door and then we all got ready. I asked Akamaru to smell out the guys we need, and the other 2 trackers in our team to do the same. I then heard screaming and thought they already got them. We didn't go anywhere near a place very creepy like over there. Akamaru then barked showing us where they were at. We had to get 3 scrolls and saw the guys before going in and then used my shadow clone to get the one we needed. I then just turned around and put it in my bag.

We kept on going and soon we were caught up with these guys. I thought of a plan and told them where to go in telepathy. I begin to battle them, each of them coming towards me because they want the scrolls. Yeah like there going to get any. I then used the jutsu I did on Sasuke on them and Hinata and Hyuga hit them on the head which caused these guys to fall in unconscious. I looked through the scrolls they had but they didn't have the heavens scroll that we needed.

We tried looking around and found nothing, that is until we passed by the Suna guys. I only walked passed them and there was a barrier of sand.

"Alright, what do you all need." I said. I saw my shadow clone grab there heavens scroll and left to give it to Akamaru.

"Do you have the lightning scroll." They said. I held up the two that I had which was the Earth and Water scroll.

"No I don't." We then just left right away about to go to the tower when I heard Naruto yells.

Hinata said we should go help them, I sighed and nodded. We all went to go see what was happening, my eyes widen and then I saw Naruto on the floor all weak and Sakura trying to heal him.

I looked at Sasuke and grabbed him with this rope before Orochimaru bit him and gave Sasuke his mark. Sasuke will change if that happened. Orochimaru just looked at me all surprised and I gave Kiba my bag before going to fight him to protect Sasuke.

"Your not getting Sasuke!!"

"(Y-Y/N)." Sasuke said weakly. I didn't budge on listening to him and managed to punch Orochimaru before he tried throwing me to his snake, which I used my Rasengan that I learned whenever reading this book, the snake disappeared and I looked at Orochimaru.

"You have gotten stronger and taller little (Y/N)." He said.

"Shut up Orochimaru, I will never forgive you on killing my little brother and hurting my parents!!" I went in a flash towards him and kicked him but he didn't go far. He then started throwing kunais which I grabbed and throw at him.

I was then told slow to see that Orochimaru then threw me to this tree and I hit my back on it. I then activated my Byakugan and hit him on the parts where his chakra flow. He started to spit out blood each time he tried to bit me his guys came and took him away, I was about to fall when I felt someone grab me. It was Sasuke.

"Thank you for saving me cuz." He said.

"I will die for you if I had to." I laid down drinking a bit of water.now here comes the part going to the tower which I dread.

"I guess we should get going, I'll see you guys." Sasuke fell unconscious as he used to much chakra whenever he came to save me from falling and the battle of Orochimaru. We headed towards the place whenever we meet up with trouble.

There these oil clones which Kiba decided to fight off. I did a fire ball jutsu which caused them to ignite, and leave. We were then towards the part where these dangerous animals were at, but like I already fought one it shouldn't be so hard. Hinata this time protect me and Kiba along with Akamaru. To our surprise we made it and entered the tower. Now we didn't know what to do.

Our sensei then came and congratulated us for being the first ones to arrive. I was tired and just sat down.

"Are you okay (Y/N)?"

"Did you know Orochimaru was here?" Her eyes widen and stared at me.

"You fought him didn't you."

"I fought him to save Sasuke, now he's unconscious over there for using so much chakra. He's not giving up Kurenai-sensei, he wants Sasuke and he knows he will have to kill me first to do so." With the help of Hinata and Kiba I stood up.

"We have all 3 scrolls, it took us about 8 hours to get them but there finally here." She smiled and opened them.

"These were a faster way to get the other scrolls. But I knew you 3 would pull it off without even opening them. Good job guys, come on let's get you out of here." We smiled and held her hand as we all vanished back into this part.

Our parents were there, I finally felt a stink of pain on my arm and felt blood coming down. I tched and grabbed my bandages from my bag and started rapping them around my arm. My mother and father came towards me as I was with Hinata and Kiba.

"What happened to you, did you do something recklace again."

"Orochimaru was there trying to bite Sasuke but missed as he saw (Y/N) he attacked her, it's not like she chose to fight him she had to." Kiba said, I smiled at him and they sat me down.

"You used almost all of your chakra, let's take you to the hospital." Your mother suggested.

Your father put you around his arms and you weakly said bye to the others before going. The doctors once they checked me out said I am lucky to live because of all the chakra I used up. I smiled, but they said I should rest up for a few days before beginning the other parts.

I nodded and my dad took me on his back while I was asleep, it was nice and warm.

~4 days later~

I went back to the place we have to be at all healthy and good, Hinata came and so did Kiba, we saw other teams there. The Suna kids looked mad, I bet they figured out that I was the one the one that took there heavens scroll away from them.

Team 7 soon came and I smiled, Sasuke seemed different somehow. I looked at him and saw the mark, Orochimaru attacked again. I sighed and looked at the guy who seemed sick.

He said there was a lot of us, and that there will be these battles to eliminate some people from our teams so that the actual battle that determines if we qualify at chunin will begin. I inhaled and exhaled before looking at who will be the first to fight. Sasuke, was the first and battling Kabuto. I knew this all along, Kabuto will just fight for fun, that's how he is.

"Be careful Sasuke..." I said in a whisper.
