"Please, Nemesis-sama! I'm begging you! Please teach me!" Lee begged. "Lee, for the eight time, I can't train you." I said as I walked to the second part of the exam. Lee followed me like a puppy, begging me to teach him the ways of a hunter.

"Lee, please stop asking me. My decision is absolute. I can't train you." I repeated. "But you have to! I have so much to learn from you, Nemesis-sama!" He said. "Stop calling me that. It's just Nemesis." I said.

When we got to our destination, I went over to my team. "There you are, Nemesis-chan! Where ya been?" Naruto called. "Well..." I glanced at Lee as he was in Chibi Mode, tugging on my sleeve with puppy dog eyes.

"Excuse me for a second." I said. I picked up Lee as he was still in Chibi Form and carried him over to his team. "Excuse me," I tapped the girl's shoulder. "I believe he belongs to you." I said, showing her Lee.

"Lee! There you are! Where have you been?" The girl asked. "I apologize for making you wait on your teammate. You see, he stopped by my house earlier this morning and asked me to train him. I declined and he begged me all morning. But I still refuse to train him." I explained.

"He did all that? I'm really sorry about that." The girl apologized as she took Lee. "Don't be." I said, shaking my head. I walked back over to Naruto and the others. "Why was that guy clinging to you like that?" Sakura asked.

"I really don't want to talk about it." I said. I looked down as I saw a rectangular-looking rock creeping up on Naruto. "Naruto?" I tapped his shoulder, in which he looked at me, and I pointed at the rock.

It began following Naruto around, but he couldn't shake it off him. I narrowed my eyes at the rock until I couldn't stand to watch Naruto be chased anymore. "Allow me, Naruto." I said. I took out my knife and stepped on the rock so it stopped following Naruto.

"Let's cut you open and see what's inside." I said. I went to stab the rock until it screamed out, "Wait, don't! Don't kill us!"

I stopped my attack and raised a brow. "I don't remember rocks talking. Do they talk in your world?" I asked Naruto. "Of course not, Nemesis-chan. It's just Konohamaru and his buddies." He explained. Three children came out of the rock and introduced themselves.

"Friends of yours?"

"Yeah. What are you doing here, Konohamaru?"

"Hey, boss! Nice to see you!" The boy known as Konohamaru greeted. "Who's your new friend?" Udon asked. "She's so pretty!"Moegi said. "This is Nemesis-chan. She's my new teammate." Naruto introduced. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you." I said, politely.

"I've never seen you around here before. Are you new?" Konohamaru asked. "Yes, I am." I confirmed. "You don't look like a ninja. You're not even dressed like one. Where are you from?" Udon asked. "Akademi High School." I answered.

"Huh? Akakdemi? What's that?" Moegi asked. "Hahaha! Nemesis-chan, you're so funny!" Naruto said as he didn't want them to know where I came from. "But it wasn't a joke." I mentioned.

"Shh! We don't want them known that you're not really from this world? Plus, these guys don't know how to keep their mouth shut. They'll tell everybody and the whole village will freak out." Naruto whispered. "You make a decent point." I said.  

"Anyway, what are you guys doing here, Konohamaru?" Naruto asked the children. "We're here for an exclusive interview!" Moegi explained. "An interview?" Naruto repeated.

'But we're in the middle of an exam? Do we even have time for an interview?' I thought. My own question was answered after Anko announced that we'll be taking a short break so Konohamaru and his friends can interview the ninjas who are scheduled to be interviewed.

While I waited, I walked around for a bit, then practiced my kunai knife throwing. "You're quite skilled for a genin," I turned around as a grass ninja stood behind me with a smile on his face. I frowned slightly as I could tell he was bad news. 

"Hello. I don't believe we've met." He said. "Hello. Can I help you with something?" I asked. "Not really. I was just admiring your training while you wait for the exams to begin." He said. "I figured I should use my time wisely. Who knows what's going to happen in that forest." I explained.

I went to back to knife throwing, but the guy didn't go away like I expected. Wait, could this be Ayano? How did she get here? No, I'm being ridiculous. This can't be Ayano. I'm in this world while she's back at Akademi High School.

Plus, there wouldn't be a reason for her to be here when her Senapi and her rivals aren't here.

"Nemesis-chan!" Naruto called. I looked over at him as I getting my knives out of the tree. "It's your turn to be interviewed!" He informed.

"Huh? But I thought it was just the ninjas who are scheduled to be interviewed?" I said, walking over to him. "Well, here's the thing. I kind of told them that you're not from this world." He whispered. "Please tell me you're joking." I said, in which he shook his head.

"But don't worry! They promised me they wouldn't tell a soul!"

"And you trust them?"

"Of course I do. They can keep a secret... I think."

I sighed. "Very well. The faster I get this interview over with, the faster the exams can resume." I said. I walked with Naruto led me over to the kids. The moment I sat down, they started shooting questions at me.

"So, you're really from another world?!"

"Do you have any secret powers?!"

"Who's your love interest here in the Leaf?"

"Can you fly?!"

I sweat dropped at their questions. "Please, one question at a time." I requested. "Okay. Where do you come from?" Moegi asked. "I'm from a small town called Buraza Town." I answered. "Do you have any siblings?" Udon asked.

"I'm sorry, but that information is classified." I said. "What do you for a hobby?" Konohamaru asked.

"I'm a hunter."

"Like a bounty hunter?"

"Not exactly. My mission is to eliminate Ayano Aishi and stop her from hurting anyone else."

"Why are you wearing a school uniform?" Udon asked. "Because I go to Akademi High School. It's just what I wear." I said. "Since you're in this world for a while, what have you learned so far? Like, what are you strong suits?" Moegi asked.

"Well, I don't know any ninjutsu or genjutsu. But I guess I'm pretty good at taijutsu. I'll try and use that as much as I can during this exam. But I also plan to find a way to get out of here and return to my world so I can finish my mission." I explained.

"Just one more question before we end the interview: Do you find Sasuke attractive?" Moegi asked. I raised a brow. "Hey, Moegi! We don't need this for the article!" Konohamaru said. "What? I'm curious!" Moegi whined.

"To be honest, Moegi, I don't find Sasuke attractive at all. He's a good training partner, but I don't see him as the dating type. In fact, I don't believe in relationships. I like to focus on my missions and nothing more." I explained.

"Well, who do you think is attractive?" Udon asked. "Well... I haven't really taken an interest in anybody. I haven't had the time to because it never really crossed my mind." I answered.

We were out of time and the kids got what they needed for their article, then left. The exams were resumed and Anko explained the rules.

After going over the rules, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and I lined up in front of the gate. Once we were given the cue to start, we ran inside the forest. I wonder awaits for us in this forest?
