Dear Little Sister

Chapter 21

« We finally get rest- pRELIMINARIES?!»

Miyuki, Sasuke and Naruto stumbled into their assigned room, groaning. Naruto looked deeply disturbed, probably traumatised from having watched Zetsu have lunch.

Unfortunately, on the way back his ramen came back up.

He cried at the loss of his precious ramen. So, being a good friend, Miyuki decided to rub salt in the wound. Like any excellent, loving best friend.

"That was limited edition ramen from Ichiraku's," she had said, smirking. He was crying waterfalls, screaming about his poor ramen.

Poor Naruto. Miyuki is more evil than anyone will ever be. Even if some supposed-to-be-dead person comes along and revives a god in human form from the dead and they try to enslave the world in a genjutsu, Miyuki will always be more evil.

Because she was lying. That was just regular ramen.

It wasn't even from Ichiraku's.

She laughed the whole time.

Anyways, back to where we were earlier, Team 7 stumbled into their assigned room looking like they had an extreme case of coronav- uH, sickness. And Naruto face planted on the ground. Sasuke followed suit, groaning.

"You suck," Miyuki encouraged. "You did basically nothing except watch as I used my, ah, subordinates to my advantage."

Naruto sat up and pointed at her indignantly. "YOUR SUBO-SUBARD—FRIEND ATE THOSE NINJA!"

Miyuki rose an eyebrow. "Yes? And? They were unconscious. What did you want me to do, wake them up and fight them?"

Sasuke snorted. "Can we just finally get some rest?"

Miyuki nodded.

(A/N I would have died in the forest of death straight away I'm literally allergic to plants so I'd have just rolled around and cried lmao)

"Alright little summoning scrolls," she called, taking a sip of— Wait, where'd that bottle of sake come from?! She bit her thumb, drawing blood, and swiped it across her sealing scrolls. With a poof, both the heaven and the earth scroll appeared.

"How'd you even get that?" Naruto questioned, perplexed. Miyuki grinned.

"Hmmm....none of your business!"

Sasuke grunted, coughing. "You're too young to drink."

Miyuki rolled her eyes. "Old enough to kill, old enough to drink."

"'Kay, kiddos, open these lovely scrolls and we can get the hell outta here."

Sasuke leapt up from his place on the floor, a relieved look on his face. "Fuck yeah."

Wheezing, Miyuki punched his shoulder. "L-Language-!"

Poor Naruto was so confused. "But you swear all the time, Miyuki-chan!"

Miyuki choked. "I asked for support, not exposure—"

Iruka poofed in. "Good job on passing the second phase of the exam!" He cheered. "I hope you didn't face too many problems!"

"You should better hope," Miyuki grumbled saltily. "Because we faced a huge one. You two should be down on your knees thanking me," she scowled.

They blinked.

"I SAVED YOU FROM A SANNIN!" She yelled indignantly. "YOU WOULD'VE DIED!"

They backed off, eyes wide and their arms up in surrender.

::

"Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me."

Miyuki snorted. "Such colourful words, Sasuke-chan."

"A preliminary round," he stated.

"A preliminary round," she said wisely. Naruto looked like he was about to collapse, most likely from exhaustion.

They had only slept two nights out of all four nights, so they were definitely tired. Much to Miyuki's despair, they'd have to resort to..

"What's this?" Naruto asked sleepily as she stuck something in his hand. She did the same for Sasuke who didn't hesitate to stick it in his mouth and swallow it. His face scrunched up at the bitter taste.

"Soldier pill," Miyuki replied, taking one of her own. "It's bitter, by the way."

She said it a little late because Naruto had already stuffed it in his mouth.

"Eurgh," he groaned, before lifting up. "Hey, I feel way better now!"

Miyuki grinned. "That's the point."

"Oi, you three," a chunin said, poking his head round the door. "Hokage-sama has called all the genin."

Sasuke slammed his head down onto the couch. "Preliminaries," he groaned.

"Sweetheart, it won't be that bad," she rolled her eyes. "Don't worry."

"He's not worrying, Miyuki-chan! He's being lazy."

"Atta boy Naru-chan. You tell 'im."

::

And there stood the Hokage with the most peaceful smile on his face, acting like he didn't have bloodthirsty jinchuuriki below him as well as a few serial killers that killed for fun.

He began his speech, ranting and rambling about friendships and whatnot, when someone interrupted him.

"So are we doing the preliminaries or what?"

Hiruzen's eye twitched. "Ah, yes. I'll leave it to the proctor. I hope you enjoyed yourselves."

Everyone shot him a disbelieving look, bursting out into questions and shouts and yells, whilst Team 7 sassily stood there, arms crossed with an unimpressed look on their faces.

Hayate waltzed up. "Hokage-sama, if I may?"

Hiruzen smiled and backed down.

"Listen up! I'm Gekko Hayate, the proctor of the prelims. Too many of you passed, so we're cutting you all down in half for the final exam." He went into a coughing fit. "Anyways, we'll decide the matches at random with this electric board."

The names on the board spun quickly, everyone waiting with anticipation.

Miyuki's grin spread across her face at the names on the board.

Uzumaki Naruto vs Akadō Yoroi.

A/N
I'm so so sorry I didn't update yesterday!
The matchups for the preliminaries and such will be different, and I know that Naruto didn't go against Yoroi in canon, but, y'know, uh plot. Also I know that Yoroi and Misumi should've been kicked out along with Kabuto but, guess what? Plot.

Clues? Oo!
