Chapter 25

                                    

                                          
As I left Ichiraku, I tired to think of what happened. Is this what it feels when people get hungover or whatever it's called? Ugh, I think I'm dying.. 
                          
As I tried to remember, my mind kept on going back to how Naruto was like at Ichiraku. He almost seemed irritated with me! He must've done something bold. 
                          
I walked to the training field where I'm supposed to meet Akihiko and Himari. 
                          
Wait a minute! It's almost like I'm trapped in a genjutsu! Wait, how do you get out of genjutsu again?
Ugh, how do I call myself a ninja when I don't even know how to get out of one? 
                          
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, Rin. Don't explode." Akihiko said bumping into my side.
                          
I rolled my eyes at him. Can't he tell I'm trying to think? 
                          
"Geez, someone's in a bad mood." Akihiko grumbled. 
                          
What if, me being here is just a genjutsu? Everything is? Oh my god, this got really deep.. 
                          
"Okay, before Himari gets here, wanna spar for a bit?" Akihiko asked knocking me out of my thought bubble. 
                          
"Sure, why not?" I shrugged my shoulders. 
                          
I pulled my hair up using two hair ties and got myself ready to go at Akihiko with full force! 
                          
Akihiko smirked at me before he lunged himself at me trying to land a hit on me. 
                          
Little did he know, I was on my toes. 
                          
"Gotcha." Akihiko mouthed after a blocked a punch. 
                          
"Huh?" He must've saw my attack coming.. this isn't good on my part. 
                          
I punched Akihiko hard, wanted to wipe that stupid smirk off his face, and Akihiko appeared to be a water clone. 
                          
This isn't good. 
                          
I searched around me as quick, but as good as I could. Anything could be a sign of him. 



                          
For a couple minutes it felt like I was standing around like a complete idiot with kunai knives in my hands. 
                          
'Where is he?' I thought panic slowly rising. 






                          
"Okay, where are you?" I shouted out in the open area. 
                          
"That quick to give up, hm?" Akihiko said as he walked out from behind a wooded area. 
                          
"Well, I was waiting for you to come out and attack me!" I said as he stood in front of me. 
                          
"Hm." Akihiko said with a smirk on his face, and I rolled my eyes. 
                          
Sometimes people get on my nerves.

A couple minutes later, Himari showed up and told us that we were going to work on strategies, formations, and attacking for the Chunin Exams. I already know what's going to happen anyway. 

                          
As I was walking back home- I mean- Sasuke's apartment I ran into Naruto. 
                          
"Hey," I said to him. 
                          
"Hi, Rin!" Naruto said with a grin on his face. 
                          
"So, have you been training for the Chinun Exams-" 
                          
"Hey, Rin, so you know your chakra problem? I think I know someone who might help you control that little chakra! I would help you, but I'm not really good with chakra control. Well, it's more like having you use your chakra, but I'm not good at explaining things." Naruto said interrupting me.
