Chapter 1: The Genesis.
At 15, a young blond boy stood over the railings of the balcony of his apartment; gently caressing his shaggy but well trimmed hair. He wore a black jacket; unzipped, revealing his dark colored shirt with a jade necklace hanging around his neck. A baggy dark green pants and black boots. Few straps of white cloth were tied to his right lap and leather holsters strapped over it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath savoring the coolness of the autumn wind. He turned around and glanced at green vest lying on the floor. He grinned and jumped over the railing and took the green vest.
"Today, I'm officially chunnin," he said to himself as he examined it for a while before wearing it. After putting on the vest, he checked every pouch there was on the vest, "Scrolls should be here and another here and another here... wait..." he paused for a while after realizing that there were more pouch than the scroll he has. "What are these other pouches for?" As confused as he was, he checked the time and found out that he only had 15 minutes before the meeting would start. "Damn I have to get going." He then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Behind the cold bars lies a cricketing bed with messy white bed sheets spread all over it. Beside the bed sat dark haired boy on a racking chair. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling; his hands were clasped together, his right foot move in a fast rhythm only his mind know what. He was all alone in this sad, little room; enveloped with hard cold steel bars. "A traitors price..." he mumbled. The door of the cell clattered and two Anbus entered.
"Uchiha Sasuke," one of the Anbu said. He glanced at the boy behind his mask waiting for him to confirm.
"Yes... I am," Sasuke rose from the chair and stood straight in front of these Anbu.
"On the eve of Novemer 2 in the year of the pig, the council sentenced you to 5-10 years of imprisonment for the act of treason. However, due to your satisfactory behavior while serving your sentence and your sincere repentance of such act, the council had granted you a parole. Under parole you are to with prudence and must not in anyway involve yourself with other illegal activities. By the power granted to us by the council we hereby released you today November 3 in the year of the Tiger," the Anbu declared in a monotonous tone.
Sasuke absorb all of these and held himself fast not to burst out in joy and in tears. He controlled his emotions and just let out a simple smirk. He took all his belongings and started walking towards the door. Every step he took made his heart pumped and jumped for joy of freedom. The Anbu, made a way for him feeling the ecstatic beating of his heart and they slightly bowed to him as sign of congratulations which Sasuke also did in return. As he was about to step outside the bounds he turned his head slightly, reminiscing the past he had, "Never again..." he mumbled and finally took the last step to freedom.
At the meeting to which Naruto has to attend, groups of chunnins were gathered. Fortunately, the meeting hasn't start yet, much to his relief. Naruto looked around looking for a familiar face, and there he saw Shikamaru, again with his lazy face; another he saw Neji, who was promoted with him; Lee, and Tenten. Naruto walked towards Shikamaru to greet him or some sort of, but a familiar voice interrupted him.
"Everybody settle down, meeting is in session." Tsunade sat on the chair in front, behind a large table. Beside her is an unfamiliar face. He wore a white bandana, a large belt strapped across his body, which Naruto thought a holster belt after noticing a large sword behind him. He is a big man, very muscular and from the looks of it he can be considered a giant. Then everybody settled down, and took thier sit. Naruto on the other hand, remained standing and was scratching the back of his; strethching his neck; trying to look for his assigned sit. Tsunade noticed a blond hair towering over the seated chunnins, "Ahem... Naruto..." she called out. Naruto turned to look at her still grinning and scratching the back of his head because of embarrassment.
"Eh... sorry... Tsunade-babachan... I can't find..." he realized that it was improper for him to be calling the Hokage in that manner in a formal meeting. He saw her eyebrow twitching and raising a bit; her right hand clenching the folder she was holding. Naruto knew what's coming.
"You brat! How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me that!" Tsunade burst out. The chunnins did not know how to react. Will they laugh at Naruto being scolded or will they remain quite and passive. Shikamaru rolled his eyes in disbelief over Naruto's blabbing mouth.
Naruto felt so little at that time realizing his mistake. He stooped down still scatching the back of his head when he noticed a hand raised in the air pointing the vacant sit behind her. Naruto walked toward her with his shoulder dropping and took his sit. He motioned a smile of thanks to Tenten
"Now where were we." Tsunade in a very calm tone. "Oh yeah. Good morning everyone!"
"Good morning, Hokage-sama" the chunnins replied all at once.
"We have with us, Geiru... Ashida Geiru from the earth country," she paused for a while motioning the visitor to stand up in which the visitor did so and then took his seat. "He is here with us to day for in an official business. To make things clear, I would give him the floor to explain his visit," At this Geiru stood up again.
"Lights please," he said in a very deep but remarkably gentle voice. Then the projector lighted up and the geography of the shinobi world was shown. "This," pointing at the map with his stick," is the shinobi world. As you have already known, 4 countries have equal power in our world. The Fire country; The Wind country, the Lightning country and the lastly my country, the Earth country" His last statement brought many eyebrows slightly raised. "Well in order to maintain peace with other countries," he continued after noticing such eyebrows, "my country would like to announce a joint ninja exercise to ensure the alliance's longetivity." and thus, the meeting continued.
At the gates of the village penitentiary, a pink hair girl walked back and forth in front of it with her hands clasped together behind her back. She wore a mint colored short sleeves blouse and a powder blue colored medium long skirt; embroidered with golden twin dragons on each side. Her hair was coiled in bun. The main gate of the penitentiary opened and a black haired boy walked from the inside. The girl stopped from walking back and forth and stared at this very handsome boy. "Welcome back Sasuke-kun." she said gently, her smile and joy was very much evident.
Sasuke smiled. He still stood taller than Sakura but not as much as there was 3 years ago. Sasuke had his hair very long. His bangs covered most of his handsome face revealing only his heart shape chin and dark gentle eyes. He still wore his traditional clothes since he was in prison, he didn't bother much for fashion." Thank you, Sakura," he said.
After some hours the meeting was about to be finished and the chunnins to participate in the exercise are to be named. "The following are requested to go to the next room." Geiru announced,"Hyuga Neji, Tenten, Uzumaki Naruto and Rock Lee for the first team. Next is, Shikamaru, Aburasame Shino, Yamanaka Ino and Chouji. The following please proceed to the next room." Geiru directed.
"Yay, I'm a representative... I'm great... I'm great..." Naruto sang cheerfully as he walked first to the next room.
"Geez, so troublesome, why me?" Shikamaru rolled his eyes following Naruto's lead.
Neji, as quite as he was, just stood and followed. The rest of the representatives have gone to the next room and the remaining chunnins were dismissed by the Hokage.
Inside the room, the selected chunnins were chatting. And of course, there was always a voice that echoed the hall. "I won't lose to them! I the great Uzumaki Naruto, defender of the poor, protector of the..." Naruto was cut off as he was sent flying by Tsunade's thunderous smack on his head.
"Shut up you brat!'" Tsunade yelled.
Before Naruto could react, Geiru stepped inside holding a bunch of folders. Naruto just let go of the moment but not without a pouted mouth and slight curses.
Geiru watched Naruto closely. He couldn't believe that Ninja this loud, made to the chunnin ranks. But he shoved down that thought as Tsunade made her way to the front.
Staring at the chunnins before her, she let out sigh, "Don't worry you'll be paid regularly as a chunnin plus extra allowance for this trip. So you don't have to worry about paying your bills," she nodded at Naruto.
Naruto raised an eyebrow then crossed his arms, "Che!"
"Now the exercise his good for one week. You will leave 3 days from now," he paused for a while scanning the folders in front of her, "Oh right, take note that the exercise is not a competition. But you have the responsibility to protect your country's prestige and honor." She looked Geiru and motioned him to take the floor.
Geiru took the cue and went to the front. "Well, again this is not a completion. Remember that well. But we hope that this exercise will improve your skills as well the relationship with each others country. Now, any questions?"
At the teashop, 2 shinobi were catching up with one another. They sat at the table outside the shop, with a huge umbrella shading them from the direct hit of the sun. There were flowers along the railings of the shop gives a general impression of cleanliness.
"So how have you been?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I'm cool. I'm good actually." She replied. She was happy that finally they were able to go out on a date but she noticed that she was not that excited as before. Before straying away with her thoughts, she returned the question to Sasuke, "And you?"
"Locked up in the prison, I can't say I'm really good..." he paused, "but I'm happy, I'm free now." he smiled.
Sakura got the picture of being in the cell and shriveled with the idea of it. She took a sip from her tea and there was a moment of silence between them.
Sasuke, broke the errie silence, "And Naruto?"
"Oh, he... well his a chunnin now." She teasingly smiled. "He actually made it through."
"And you?"
"I was matched up with him in the finals." she took another sip of the tea then continued on, "I gave up before he could. He was willing to give up then, but I proclaimed it first." She smiled remembering Naruto's expression after that. "Stupid naive, never saw it coming."
"Where is..." Sasuke was cut off by a familiar voice.
"Sasuke!"
Sasuke cannot believe he didn't sense him coming; lack of training he thought. Then he turned around to see the blond boy. He looked at him in surprise. Naruto had grown, almost as tall as him. He smirked and raised his right arm."
