Little Misfits

Chapter Seventeen: Training

Akumi Pov___________

The preliminaries had ended the final contestants were Temari, Kankuro, Garra, Dosu, Shikamaru, Neji, Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Shino and I.

The matches after mine had become a bit more grudesome, Neji nearly killed Hinata and Garra incapacitated Lee.

But all in all it was finally over.

Naruto and Sakura both dragged me to the hospital and forced me to stay there and get treated.

I sighed as I laid on my stomach due to my burns getting treated.

I had learned alot in the chunin exams, to think I was now considering both sakura and Sasuke friends was a change.

It also brought back memories about my first time around in the chunin exams.

I hadn't choose to become a shinobi like Naruto had. Becoming a shinobi was my only chance of survival back then.

FLASHBACK_____

I stood infront of the old man's desk. He was filling out my paperwork.

"This should do it." He muttered as he took a stamp from his desk and stamped the paper."from now on you're an official genin." He stated as he sat back and rubbed his face.

"Now we should be heading out. Your trial is starting soon." The old man stated as he grabbed the piece of paper and stood up.

"Come along now, akumi." He sighed and I quickly walked to him lifting my arms up.

Earlier I had been naming the bodies of the other kids. Their bodies had a stench that even the mask they made me wear not really work at all.

Their bodies had a dark purple and green color to them, their stomachs had been swollen and some of them had all their insides removed.

Most of them had small little white worms coming out of their bodies. It had been hard to tell who was who but I managed to name most of them .

I held onto the old man tightly, he had been with me the entire time. I wanted to trust him more but I wanted to stay away, what if he was like mam?

He carried me through the streets. People stared at me as he held me tightly. My head was placed on his shoulder lightly and I watched them too.

I bet they were judging me, hoping that I would be sent to prison for what I did. But I didn't regret it.

He walked into the court room there were auditable gasps and protest from the civilians when they saw the old man carry me.

"Hiruzen, that child was suppose to be handcuffed and escorted by anbu, what if it were to decide to attack us?!" A woman on the civilian council snapped.

"The trail has been changed. Civilian council can leave. Since akumi here is a genin and not a civilian this isn't a matter of your concern anymore." The old man stated walking past them, I glared at them. They wanted to hurt me but as long as the old man protects me I'll be safe. For a while at least.
