I was currently watching Naruto and Neji's match, along with everyone else. No one thought Naruto would win, except me. I was confident my cousin would win his match, he had more skill than anyone knew. I watched as it seemed Naruto lost, my confidence in him gone, only for him to return it. That's my cousin! Next was Sasuke's match, but he hadn't arrived, so they delayed it, meaning that it was my turn. I jumped down, followed by my opponent, who looked terrified. I rolled my eyes, this would be easy. As we were allowed to begin, I taunted with my opponent, using genjutsu and taijutsu. I lazily clicked my fingers, summoning my lions, and earning gasps from the crowd. They were my show, while I got them ready for the big finale. "Position AZ Form Five." They nodded, and circled my opponent while I prepared my most powerful move. Just as they were about to move in, I used the Flame Shadow, a Mori no Megami expert technique. Fire poured out of every inch of my body, forming Adara's shape, it wasn't Adara though, it was her chakra. Adara's chakra surrounded me, as a shield of sorts, moving as I moved. I leaped into the air, and dived down on my opponent, the shield up against him. I controlled the chakra to enter his body and burn him from the inside. He screamed for what seemed like hours, before falling unconscious. "Hana is the winner," the proctor spoke, surprise evident in his voice. The crowd was silent as I brought my lions in, soon bursting into cheers as I walked back to the spot where the rest of the contenders were, most looked shocked, or frozen in place, even Gaara's eyes were wide. I simply stood and waited for the next match to start, when Kankuro quit, and it was Shikamaru and Temari's turn. Temari seemed one step ahead, but she fell into Shika's trap, and it looked like he was going to win, when he spoke the most surprising words to speak at that time. "I forfeit." The whole arena was shocked, Naruto was furious, as was I, not because he quit, but because of what Sophie might think because of that, and those thoughts crushed me. You are so soft, I was like that once... What do you mean Adara? Adara? My name is And- ADARA ADARA UH HUH YUP NO ONE ELSE! Adara is there something you're not telling me? Even if there was, who says it's any of your business? You're hopeless. I try. Sighing, I dragged Naruto and Shikamaru back up, so the next match could get started, which was meant to be Gaara and Sasuke, one of which had not appeared yet. We waited for a couple minutes in agonizing silence, some anxious that their friend would appear, one looking positively murderous that even I was scared for Sasuke. I should've known Shukaku wouldn't take my advice. Are you saying that- It's pretty likely. Great. Just then Sasuke appeared, back to back with Kakashi. The match commenced, with Gaara already too far to turn back, talking to Shukaku out loud. Sasuke managed to do the impossible, create a hole in Gaara's sand, only fueling Shukaku's rage. I felt my mind drift away from reality, and felt, heard and saw something, something interesting, someone's memory.

Using full fire powers, I blocked the blast, and shut my eyes, tunnel vision disappearing as the others yelled in shock and fear, I noticed a horrid pain in both my hands and arms. My fire was eating me, I knew that, and yet I felt a sense of peace. "I guess this really is my destiny," I announced sadly, before my fire disintegrated everything below my chin, turning it to ash, yet the ash stayed in place, before moving to my core, and attacking my head, the fire taking it over. I heard a broken voice whisper through the comms. "Please, Emma, I love you, don't leave me!" I was no longer myself, all I felt was anger, hatred. All I saw was red. All I wanted was death. I lashed out with my wings of fire, destroying whatever was nearby, I didn't care what it was. I am not Emma Holt. I am not Princess Andesite. I am-

The memory was cut off, when I realised someone was trying to put me under a genjutsu. I quickly released myself and looked around to see sand and sound ninja attacking, and the sand siblings gone, along with Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru. The situation here was being handled, so I left for the heart of Leaf Village to help defend. I could feel that something major was going to happen, but I had no idea what.
