Chapter 30: Final Exam

Nia breathed heavily as she hid behind a tree in the cover of darkness. Her body was beaten badly and sweat ran down her face.

'Damn...' She thought as she bit her lip, 'I should've probably rethought this...'

"Found you!"

A kunai was thrown in the girl's direction and if she hadn't dashed out the way, it would've pierced her throat.

My god! That was close... what the hell was I thinking taking this test? This is no joke.

"Behind you!"

Nia turned only to be met with a kick to the stomach. She crashed into a tree a few yards away and slid down to her bottom. Kakashi immediately appeared in front of her with a disappointed look.

"If you don't fight, you'll die... you know that." He said in a chilling manner.

When Nia just clenched onto her stomach, Kakashi squatted and said to her, "You were told the second you and I were separated from the others that this exam would a life and death battle. You may not know this but... in the Leaf, we have something called the chuunin Exam, where in one part of the test, you're left in a forest filled with many things that could ultimately kill you and with squads willing to kill you just to take a scroll that is in your possession. You have it easy here..."

Nia gasped for more air as blood dropped down her forehead.

"This test only involves me as your opponent and not fifty others... However, I'm not gonna go easy on you. You need to know what it's like to fight for your life when you go out during missions. You can be killed at anytime. Like right now even. You're completely vulnerable."

"Then just kill me already if I'm so vulnerable!"

Her words made the jonin think of the time Jiraiya told Kakashi what had gone down with her and Naruto when he had turned into the four tails.

"Whilst your down in the Hidden Cloud, be prepared for anything Kakashi..." Jiraiya gave his friend a stern look.

"Why do you say that?" The copycat ninja replied.

Jiraiya thought of Nia's battle with Naruto transformed and frowned.

"Nia's character is a bit... depressing. You'll have to keep watch of her at all times especially during a significant moment that challenges her emotions. From what I've seen from her so far, she seems to only show a happier more cheerful side when she's by me or Naruto. However, that could quickly change..."

"What're you trying to get at?" Kakashi asked.

"Her and Naruto... I don't know what it is... but I can sense that there's a bond slowly forming between them that I don't think even I can't compete with in the future. However, I doubt it could ever get close to how Naruto's bond is with Sasuke."

"What about Sakura?"

Jiraiya smirked then said, "Oh you'd be surprise by what I've gotta tell you, Kakashi."

'Naruto could possibly already be in love with this girl and may not even know it...' Kakashi came to a conclusion, 'Yamato told me that while he was in that state, even Sakura couldn't get the boy to snap out of his senses or protect her in any way. Yet... he did so with this girl... and in such a short amount of time... why?'
