Silence (Naruto FanFiction - Rock Lee love story)

Preliminaries Part Two

~~~Sakura Haruno Vs
Ino Yamanaka~~~

The two kunoichi looked at each other, and as Kiara watched the two went down to the fighting area.
Kiara watched the two, noticing instantly the two weren't fighting to their highest abilities.
As Shikamaru explained this to Naruto, she sighed and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Alright listen up Ino..." Kiara noticed instantly the change in Sakura's demeanor and straightened up.
As the pinkette insulted Ino, Kiara couldn't help but smile slightly but sadly at the sight.
She knew the two used to be best friends, and that Sasuke had come between the two.
This was always strange to her, but as she watched the two kunoichis facing each other she knew everything was about to change.
"This match is a draw."
At the sight of the two girls passed out, Kiara jumped down easily and checked the two over as their sensei's watched.
With a nod, she stepped back letting the two pick up the young girls.
Kiara went to leave, but stopped as the man she faced in the forest jumped down.
She turned to look up at the board, and tended slightly.
~~~~~Kiara Vs Kabuto~~~~~

Kiara stared at the board then turned to look at her opponent, who seemed to lean back in boredom.
He was looking over her as she stared at him.
"...Do you truly wish to fight me?" The raspy voice of the masked girl rang out, and Kabuto smirked slightly.
"After the match in the woods, I'm curious as ever at your true potential." Kiara gave a nod, and seemed to lean back into a relaxed stance.
Her front shoulder faced him, and for the first time he noticed something new.
'Anbu?' He hummed in thought, but quickly ducked back out of the way as her katana suddenly sliced threw the air.
She quickly jumped in the air, her body seemingly flying threw the air as she aimed a kick at his face.
Kabuto grunted as he ducked and spun away from the female, watching as she landed lightly.
Sparks of fire were thrown slightly from her sliding feet. She landed crouched, her hand keeping her upper body propped as her blade stretched out beside her.
Kabuto stared at the masked face of the female, wondering suddenly if he should have just forfeited when the coughing shinobi had asked.
Before he could think much longer on this, Kiara was moving again.
She seemed to appear behind the male, a kick landing against his ribs throwing him back.
However, he had already healed the wound and was up.
"My turn." The man suddenly had green chakra eroding from his hands, and he launched himself at Kiara.
Kakashi stepped forward, worry in his eye as the two clashed.
Unlike the matches before these two were clearly on a different level then the rest of the examines.
Lee looked at his sensei confusion clear in his eyes, 'How come they are so strong and not of higher rank?!' He wondered.
Gai was clutched at the railings, he knew she was a root member. But he never expected the girl to have this much power.
Kiara grabbed the arm, dodging the green chakra as she slid under Kabuto bringing him with her. This flipped the male, and Kiara was quick to snap his arm as she jumped away.
Kabuto cried out slightly, but quickly healed his arm then launched at the girl again.
As Kiara ducked under a kick, she didn't notice the chakra covered hand coming towards her face.
Suddenly she was flying back, but not of her own accord. Her mask flew from her face, and she landed on her feet skidding across the floor as her hair covered her face.
She stared down at the broken mask on the ground, her eyes wide as she realized to continue fighting she would have to reveal her identity.
But as she thought this instantly her eyes were blank and her shoulders relaxed.
'Right...I am nothing. I have no identity, they have no one to hurt if they find out who I am.' Kabuto smirked in victory, thinking he had broken the girl but sneered as she stood up.

Again her shoulder was facing his way, her katana in hand as she looked at him with blank eyes.
Kakashi's teeth gritted as he realized what this meant.
Suddenly the girl spun towards Kabuto, her eyes ablaze with fire.
The Hokage sighed at the sight, believing her too far gone to save now.
Kiara raised her blade, pointing it at Kabuto and without using hand signs caused fire to spread.
Soon she had a ring of Fire around her, flickering back and forth as fire covered her katana.
Kabuto stared at her, watching as the fire remained red showing she wasn't truly angry.
"You think you can beat me? I can heal anything you can throw at me." Kabuto tried to bring out any anger, but scoffed when she was as blank as the corpses he experimented on.
"Fine, your time is up." With that he kept towards the girl, but before he could land a blow she was suddenly gone.
He gasped as a searing pain stabbed three his chest, and he looked down with wide eyes at the sight of a blade covered in fire and blood was poking out of his chest.
Before he could react it was pulled out quickly and cleanly, causing him to jerk.
Kiara moved to take his head, but was stopped.
"That is enough Kiara." She stared at her masked sensei, then towards the shinobi who was clutching at the wound near his heart. He was clearly healing himself, but with Kakashi stepping in to stop her Kabuto was automatically the loser.
Kiara swiped her blade threw the air, and the fire seemed to suck in the blood then disperse itself.
With that she sheathed her blade, and slowly turned towards the proctor.
"Kiara is the winner of this battle."
There was no cheering, rather a dark silence. Kiara looked up at the rest of the examines still here.
Some looked at her with wide eyes, having never seen someone so ruthless. Her burned face caused Ino and Sakura to hiss, and Naruto couldn't help but wince.
Kiara's flame filled eyes flickered, her emotionless face making it clear to any who wished to oppose her.

You will die.
