A Sacrifice for Another

Chapter 15

Team 7 settled down in a couple of the chairs around the big beam in the center of the lounge.

"Man, that was easy!" Obito said.

"Well you didn't have to decode anything Obito." Neji said.

"And you didn't have to dive into a pool and stay underwater for like, 3 minutes straight getting our plastic number." Naruko said.

"Okay, okay, I'll admit, I didn't exactly have the hardest part, but it was still a pretty easy task if you think about it." Obito said.

"I guess." Naruko said. "Well, I liked it better than Ibiki's test."

"That's because Ibiki was the head of interrogation and he messed with everyone's head." Christina said.

"Ibiki? As in Ibiki Morino? Didn't you mention him earlier too?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, why? You know him?" Christina asked.

"Yes, he's taking these exams too. Obito and I were in his class, Anko is here as well, I'm pretty sure they are even on the same team." Rin said, putting a finger on her chin trying to remember if that was right.

"Wow, if that's right, I never would want to run into their team. After all, Anko and Ibiki are known as the two top interrogators in the future." Christina said.

"Oh Please, we can take them! We can beat everybody here! The only match for us would be The Sand Siblings!" Naruko said.

That's when the door opened again. All of Team 7 turned back to see the Sand Siblings walking in through the door, Kankuro dripping wet.

"Jeez, it's like Beetle juice, you say it and it appears." Naruko said.

"So, seems we are the only two teams so far." Temari said, sitting in the vacant spot next to Naruko.

"Yeah, but I'm sure they'll be more. After all, I've never heard of a Chunin exam with only two teams moving onto the second round. Never mind the fact that we aren't even supposed to be here." Kankuro said, sitting down next to his sister. Gaara took the final seat next to him.

"Well, let's think, there is a good chance that the team that was organized like our own team 8 will get through." Naruko started. "Then there is the chance of any other teams we don't know about getting through."

"Well, we should keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Wouldn't want anyone getting the upper hand on us, would we?" Neji said.

"Ne... if we see Kabuto... should we... ya know, kill him?" Naruko asked.

"Well, considering in the future we were from, since now it's probably all different from the changes we have made, we most likely should, since he went on a killing spree and started a war." Christina said.

"But I'll feel bad, I mean, he must be what, 2 now? We'll be killing a child, one Haku-kun's age no less!" Naruko exclaimed.

"Naruko-chan, it's necessary, after all, you saw all the damage he caused. All of the loved ones that not just me and you, but everyone lost!" Neji yelled. "Are you saying that all of those same people should die just for the life of one 2-year old!"

"But maybe we can change him! What about that! It's awful to kill a child! Do you guys ever want to be known as the one who murdered a defenseless 2 year-old?! Because I know I don't!" Naruko exclaimed.

"Maybe Naruko's right, I mean, if we are able to kill Orochimaru, which is extremely possible, since he is still in the village and might have just started with his experiments. We could get someone like the Sandaime, Sensei, or hell, even us, could kill that bastard. Then Kabuto would never have been affected by Orochimaru and would never become the evil way that he was. We would of course still keep an eye on him, after all, we don't want to risk it, but he can still live." Christina said.
