Chapter 132: The Chunin Exams - 58

A few minutes later, Daiki with a whistle on his lips leisurely strolled back through the halls of the tower and back to where the prelims were taking place.

When he entered, it was just in time to hear:

"The next round will be Shino Aburame versus Sasuke Uchiha." Hayate announced.

Huh, neat, he got back in time to see Sasuke fight.

He noticed though as he jumped back up to the balcony above, that the room was a bit less full than it was before.

He couldn't see Kiba, Choji or that stretchy dude from Kabuto's team. He passed by Team Ten on his way over to Team Seven and couldn't even give Ino a wink as he went passed.

...His attention was drawn to Shikamaru.

The shirtless Shikamaru who's bare torso was littered with claw marks, "Have a wild night buddy?" he asked with a grin.

Shikamaru just gave him a bland look, "That would have probably be even more troublesome," he replied, "No, I just fought Kiba, him and his puppy were a massive drag to take down."

Huh, he beat Kiba?

Interesting, Daiki would have pegged Kiba to be the one to win a match up between those two in an area like this.

"Where's Choji?" he asked.

"He fought before Shikamaru," Ino shrugged, drawing his attention to her, "He fought against that Kabuto guys teammate, a total freak by the way who could stretch like he was made of rubber and he choked Choji out. I can't believe Shikamaru is the only one of us to pass this stupid exam."

Well, that answered that.

"You sure took your sweet time coming back kid," he was distracted by Asuma-sensei speaking up before he could respond to Ino, "And after rushing off with Gai's little girl too, something you want to admit?"

There was a grin on the bearded mans face, a teasing one at that. He seemed to be rather amused.

"Yeah actually, fess up!" Ino pointed out at him, "Is there something going on with you and that girl?"

Daiki grinned at her, "That's for me to know," he replied, before leaning forward, "And you to dot dot dot." he flicked her on the nose before turning away, continuing on to Team Seven.

He heard Ino growl behind him and his grin widened.

"Tenten's fine." he assured Lee and Gai as he passed them as well, before they could ask.

"So hip and cool!" he heard Lee say behind him.

"Well look who it is, Mr. knight in shining armour himself," Kakashi looked up from his book as Daiki approached him and his team, "Did your fair maiden give you a reward smooch?"

Yes actually.

A very nice one to be honest.

Chaste as it was.

Not that Daiki was going to mention that when Sakura was standing right there, her head turning away from looking down at Sasuke to him when Kakashi spoke.

"Just because you're a virgin Kakashi, doesn't mean you get to live vicariously through me." Daiki responded idly.

He was really only half paying attention to Kakashi.

The rest of his attention was focused on the arena below. Specifically on the black haired Uchiha that had paused upon his return to the massive room and looked up at him, staring him straight in the eye.

They held eye contact for a few moments, before Sasuke smirked and turned away facing his opponent, Shino.

"Hmm, you can cut the tension with a knife," Kakashi commented with a giggle, "Something you want to share with the class Daiki-kun~?"

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura cried out, aghast.

Daiki took his attention off of Sasuke and turned to look at Kakashi, he was going to give him a whopper of a glare.

But he could only muster a deadpan stare when he saw Sakura's face was bright red and wearing a warped smile, green eyes glinting with interest as she looked between him and her teammate down below.

'.....' Daiki sighed internally.

He forgot she was actually a total closet pervert and was into that kind of thing, or so Naruto's reverse harem jutsu from the other timeline had him believe.

"...I don't get it." Naruto added, eyes narrowed into thin slits and face scrunched up in thought, making him look a bit like a fox.

"There's nothing to get." Daiki assured him with a wave of his hand, "Kakashi is just a sad sack who's been dateless for so long that he's seeing things."

"Now that's just hurtful," Kakashi shrugged, eye smiling all the way, "But I'll have you know I see plenty of women."

"Name one." Daiki snorted.

"Your mother." Kakashi's grin was so broad it was visible through his mask.

"Kakashi-sensei, you can't say that!" Sakura gaped at the man, head whipping around to stare at the man in shock.

"I just did, tee-hee." the man giggled, unashamedly.

"My mother's dead you know, has been for over a decade," Daiki shook his head, the implication not even fazing him, "That says a lot about you, that your go to is banging a corpse."

"I'm a man of cultured tastes," Kakashi shrugged his words off again, "Unlike a child like yourself."

"More like a man of small ability," Daiki emphasised the word 'ability' and gave a roll of his eyes, if he wanted to play it like this, he could do it too, "The only way for you to get to a girls heart is with that Chidori of yours."

Kakashi twitched, though it was so quick and so small, Daiki doubted Sakura or Naruto picked up on it, "You're one ruthless kid, you know that?" he shook his head.

"You started it." Daiki rolled his shoulders and smirk.

They weren't shadow clones after all.

"Winner, Sasuke Uchiha!" Hayate declared then.

"Yeah, way to go Sasuke-kun!" Sakura whooped, cheering him on.

"Damn, that bastard looked way cooler out there than me, keh!" Naruto crossed his arms and complained.

Though there was a smile on his face even as he complained.

With his win announced, Sasuke smugly walked his way over to the stairs and up to the railing above instead of just jumping up at a leisurely pace while the medics came in to take Shino away.

As that happened, Hayate looked to the huge electronic screen at the end of the room just as it lit up again and landed on two familiar names.

Kankuro vs Hinata Hyuga.

...Huh.

Well that was an interesting change as well.

"Looks like the quiet girl is up, Hibaba right?" Sasuke noted as he approached, smirk still plastered over his face.

"Hinata." Daiki absently corrected him, his eyes were on the midnight blue haired girl, so very different from the one who would originally fight in this place against her cousin.

Kankuro had a huge smirk of his own on his face as he swaggered down, supremely confident.

Hinata though, walked at a measured pace, face blank and head held high. If it was the her from before, she'd be shrinking away from all the eyes on her.

"That's what I said," Sasuke shrugged and stood beside him, leaning on the railing, "Looks like she's up against that loser from the sand as well, he wasn't that impressive when we ran into him, let's see if this girl has actually become worth anything, I'll be disappointed if she loses pathetically after training with you."

"You will?" Daiki raised an eyebrow, he didn't think Sasuke had all that of an interest in her.

"In you," Sasuke's smirk grew, "If she can't even beat this clown, your teaching abilities are obviously subpar and you'll never make it as a jonin sensei in the future."

"Who said anything about me wanting to be a sensei?" Daiki raised an eyebrow, actually confused.

"Weren't you bragging about your little apprentice to me before, Hitati or something?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow right back at him.

"Hanabi." Daiki corrected him on reflex.

"Same difference." Sasuke shrugged.

Daiki gave him a deadpan stare, before making a single hand seal while Sasuke leaned against the metal railing, arms spread out confidently, he must have thought he looked cool like that.

And would no doubt have been the epitome of casual uncaring badassery, if not for the doodles that popped up on his face, moustache, glasses, inky dick, jizz and all.

Naruto erupted into laughter.

"The heck are you laughing about?" Sasuke looked to Naruto, his second eyebrow joining the second.

Naruto only laughed harder.

Kakashi tittered.

"Um..Sasuke-kun, what happened to your face?" Sakura tentatively brought up.

Sasuke blinked, "...My face?" he asked, lost.

In response, the pink haired girl swallowed, before reaching into her equipment pouch and bringing out a small hand mirror.

And held it up for Sasuke to see his face in.

Sasuke stared blankly at his doodled reflection.

And stared.

He kept that up for a good five seconds before his onyx black eyes swirled, burning into a crimson red with two rapidly rotating tomoe in each eye.

His head mechanically turned Daiki and he gave him a bloody red glare.

"...You!" he accused.

"That's a good look for you," Daiki smirked at him, "Dickhead."

Sasuke's eyebrows twitched and a vein throbbed on his forehead, "I'll kill you for this." he vowed.

"Then you woke up with your face in your cereal bowl." Daiki taunted.

"I swear I'm going to avenge myself on you for this." Sasuke promised, fists clenching together over the railing, tight enough he could hear the metal groaning.

"I'm not into dudes, sorry buddy." Daiki shot back.

Forget his cute little apprentices name would he?

"You will suffer the wrath of an Uchiha for this!"

"I hear they make a cream for that now."

"WRATH NOT RASH YOU PRICK!"

That day, everyone gathered got to the see rare sight of Sasuke Uchiha completely losing his cool.

"To be fair Susuki, it's not nice to forget peoples names like that." Kakashi happily piped in.

And then promptly had to duck as Sasuke launched a punch at his face, tittering all the way.

All the while Naruto just laughed and laughed. The whiskered blonde laughed until tears came to his eyes, and he collapsed on his backside holding his stomach from the sheer hilarity he felt.
