Chapter 32

Naruto of course didn't know what happened and only scratched his head in confusion. "What was going on when I was sleeping?!" the blond screamed and jumped up, no one answering his questions and only chuckling."It's a looong story." Tsuki said while starting to walk deeper into the woods, with Sasuke next to her and Sakura running towards them."Why is no one answering my questions?!!"

----

"Hey, there's more wood over there." Tsuki informed Sakura while picking up a bunch of branches for the fire that they were going to make to cook the fish the other two would provide.

In the distance, you could hear a loud splash, probably from Naruto which made the Takeshi sweatdrop."We are going to get attacked again if he doesn't stop being so dang loud..." she mumbled and shaking her head, giving up.Sakura glared at the direction the boys were, her aura fuming in anger. "That idiot!"

Tsuki looked at the pile the two had collected for now and decided it was enough.The pinkette nodded and started to put them together to make a small fireplace.

Deciding it was the best she could do, she nodded and gave Tsuki permission to use her fire jutsu.The fire was lit and now only two people were missing. "Go get them, I hope they caught some fish." Tsuki said and Sakura ran off.

While Sakura was gone, Tsuki decided to close her eyes, leaving her to think about what happened a few days before.

She still couldn't answer the question, as to why Orochimaru would want her and Sasuke to gain power, but like all of the time, everything in this world had a price...

"Ki-chan! Wake up we caught some fish!" Naruto yelled and shook the girl softly. In his hand were three fish, who tangled on a piece of wire.Tsuki smiled at him, indicating that he did a great job, but then counted again.

"Hold up... three fish won't be enough!" Sakura exclaimed in shock. "There is someone who is going to have to share!"

Three faces darkened at the same thought. Someone had to share with someone else... the gazes turned to Tsuki who was attaching the fish through sharp wood.

She chuckled lightly when she saw their faces. "Don't worry, I'm not that hungry, you guys go ahead and eat."Their hearts thumped at her consideration and were racing at the thought of how to smoothly give her a bite of their meal.

But for now, they had to cook the fish, so they stared in anticipation at them.Sasuke unexpectedly decided to break the silence when he started to speak: "It's been four days since the exam started." While staring at the stick which was poked into the fire by Tsuki, Sakura agreed with him.

"The second exam began at around 3 pm. We only have about 1 day left..." The Uchiha explained, so Sakura voiced her thoughts. "Yeah, a lot of teams might have already finished. If that's the case, it could be possible that there a no Heaven scrolls left anymore..."

Deciding to brighten up the mood, Tsuki got up and stared at the fish. "Oh, they are done." she handed every fish to her teammates and sat at a tree next to them. "I know what you are thinking about Sakura, but don't worry. Even if there are only 12 Heaven scrolls left, we will find one eventually." Everyone gulped at Tsuki's positivity, usually, she wouldn't say that, so it meant she was probably just as anxious about that fact as everybody else.
