There sat Shinku in the stadium, it was currently the first match of the third part of the Chunin Exam, which meant that Naruko and Neji would be the first to fight

He gave a wave to Naruko who responded in kind with a bright smile, he gave her a thumbs in encouragement

It's not like he knew exactly to encourage someone

He sat there next to the edgy kid, who unlike in canon, was actually there watching with a smile on his face too

Shinku eyes narrowed

'I should've kept a closer watch on him...'

He hadn't interacted much with Sasuke, hell, he had ever even talked with him, but what intrigued him was that his relationship with Naruko was... better

'That... might interrupt my plans...'

It was crucial that Sasuke left the village to gain power from the white snake pedophile, his first entire plan revolves around it

'It may seem like I would have to pull strings... and I know exactly how'

He softly smirked as he glanced at Gaara, a plan spreading formed in his mind as he continued to watch the match

'When a opportunity arrives... you must strike'

A wide saying he had heard from his world, a saying that he had kept all along throughout his journey

His eyes glued on to the fight, and he was quite impressed by the performance she was putting on

But he had got to admit, he dozed off more than once, to much monologuing in his opinion, how hard was it to under and to just fight?

His mind was more focused on the plan he had just formulated, if all goes like he had planned it, it is assured that Sasuke would leave the village

If need be, he would have Shisui get into the scene much sooner than he would've liked, but it wouldn't matter much

He had more than just one plan revolving around Sasuke leaving

His thoughts were interrupted by a tap on the shoulder, he turned his head only to see the sun kissed haired teen that was in the fight

"So? How'd I do?" Naruko asked with her hands behind her back, one holding the other in anticipation

Shinku gave the best smile he could

"You did amazing" he simply said as his left eye twitched in annoyance as many surrounding females swooned over his smile

Naruko brightly smiled at his words, it seemed as if the two were content with just starring at one another's eyes before a cough interrupted them

"You did pretty good, Naruko" much to Shinku's surprise, Sasuke voiced out with an actual smile

Shinku's eyes narrowed dangerously

'I'll have to do more than I though...thankfully, Sasuke is here for the plan'

"Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara, please come down" The proctor said as the audience bursted into cheers

"Good luck!" Naruko said with enthusiasm to Sasuke who nodded with a grin, he left as Naruko took his seat

"S-So... about that time" Naruko said with a slight stutter, something that she blamed on her best friend Hinata

"About what time?" Shinku said, acting oblivious with a tilt of his head

"N-never mind ... let's talk after... ya know, after the Chunin Exam" Naruko said with a bit of relief, Shinku nodded as he focused on the match intensely

The fight was... in simple words, mundane, boring, dull

Sasuke used his agility to attack from numerous directions like Lee when he took of his weights

He had found that Sasuke was more proficient in lightning and fire nature than in the show along with his chakra control

If the scene of him using a lot more than what was originally used was any indication of that

Naruko watched with an excited grin on her face as Shinku yawned and closed his eyes with the intent of sleeping

His head laid on the shoulder of Naruko who immediately stiffened up on the contact between the two

"S-Shinku?" Naruko stuttered as she watched him softly sleep, her face was invaded by a blush as she merely allowed it

She tried her best to concentrate on the fight but the brushing of Shinku's hair against her skin was a massive distraction

She gingerly pushed his hair so it wouldn't cause ticklishness, but she found her hand diving through his soft locks of pitch black hair

She marveled at it as she played with his hair

'So... soft and messy yet... comforting'

She brightly smiled as she stopped paying attention and merely played with Shinku's hair, much to the ire of every girl who watched

Unbeknownst to them, Shinku was awake as he struggled to keep the grin off his face

Piece by piece... it's all coming together, and there's no other feeling better than that

But now... he had to wait patiently for a bit

Shinku grinned as he stood upon a tree, this Shinku being the clone while the original body was back at the third exam

He waited and waited until...

He heard it all too beautifully, the destruction of the massive concrete wall, the yelling of the Jonin and the beautiful view of Orochimaru placing the barrier

"There truly is nothing better!" Shinku grinned wildly, his true nature slowly coming to light as he laughed

His fist clenched with anticipation, his blood practically boiling at the thought of fighting a Bijuu

He'll be using his pure Taijutsu to give himself a challenge, if he gets excited enough, he might even use his legs

"Y-You!" A deep, growl like voice roared as Shinku turned around with an insane smile upon his face

"Mother wants your blood!" Gaara said excitingly as half of his body was already transformed

"Oh really? And I want your blood!" Shinku said, his eyes wide with excitement, slowly turning bloodshot as all sense of reason slowly disappeared

'Fight...Fight!FIGHT!'

A voice roared within him, his true self yearning to get out as he cockily smiled at Gaara

He licked his lips as he appeared instantly in front of him, standing on the apposing branch of Gaara's

"This... this will be fun"
