Ch 1
Return
'Has it really been three years.' This question kept going round and round in the young nin's mind. 'I bet that moron of a sensei didn't even bother looking for me after he launched that attack. He probably forgot that I was in the water when he did the giant water fall attack against Zabuza.'
His thoughts were interrupted by his teammates stopping. Looking up he saw the massive gates of Konoha. Two ANBU dropped down and moved towards them.
"What is your business here?"
"My students and I are from the village hidden in the forest, and we are here to participate in the chunin exam."
The ANBU stared at him for a moment before holding out his hand. "Papers."
As the guard went through the papers making sure that everything was in order he noticed that one of the students was glaring at him through his mask. Seeing an opportunity he glared at the kid using his killing intent. He was surprised when all he received was a blink and as the guard watched the student started to radiate his own killing intent. The guard felt his legs lock and his bladder suddenly relaxed as he became paralyzed. The teacher walked up to him and calmly took the papers back.
"I assume everything is in order now if you don't mind we have traveled a long ways and would like some rest."
Numbly the guard nodded and signaled the doors open. The teacher and students calmly walked inside without a second glance backwards.

Sarutobi sat behind his desk smoking his pipe and found himself once again thinking on the upcoming chunin exams. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft knocking at the door.
"Enter."
The door opened to reveal his aide. She quickly sauntered up to his desk.
"There are some people here to see you about admittance into the chunin exam."
Sarutobi looked a little surprised. All of the teams had been accounted for so why is there a team asking for admittance. Curiosity got the better of him.
"Show them in."
The aide moved to the door and beckoned the group in. Sarutobi was a little shocked when the team entered. The sensei moved with grace as she walked towards the table. Her armor seemed to have been grown on her as it seemed to flow with her. Hair as red as an open flame the two short swords hung at her hips showed that she was very quick since wielding two weapons instead of just one required much practice and speed. Glancing at her waist he saw the small metal plate that bore the villages crest. On it the image of a howling wolf had had been made. She gestured to her students and as he watched her turn he saw what appeared to be a bow strung across her back but there was no quiver of arrows. Shrugging it off, he glanced at the students standing behind her.
The first student was dressed in a form fitting black suit the armor he wore seemed pitted and scared. His helmet covered all of his face except for his eyes. Sarutobi looked the young man in the eyes and felt part of him cringe. Instead of normal looking eyes his were solid white like the Hyugga, but when he looked closer he realized that they were not entirely white the slit iris was an ice blue color. Two swords were strapped to his back their black handles seemed to absorb the light making them look darker than they were. His band was tied to his upper arm also showing the howling wolf.
Turning to the second student he noticed that his shock blonde was unruly and the head band was tied so that it was angled across his left eye bandages wrapped his lower face preventing him from getting a good look. The one visible eye however was blood red and also had the slit iris. Crossing his arms he parted the cape which had prevented Sarutobi from seeing his lower body. The interior of the cape was a clash of red and orange. It looked like the inside of his body was on fire.
Pulling his gaze away he turned he focused his attention on the finale student. This one seemed a little different. The head band was tied across his eyes. The unruly jet black hair seemed to go every which way possible. He had on a black muscle shirt and what appeared to be a black pair of cargo pants taped at the boots. He crossed his arms and Sarutobi couldn't help but wonder if the child would survive his arms were pathetically weak looking. His lower forearms were wrapped in white bandages a shocking counter to the all black attire of the student.
Looking back to the leader of the group he nodded. "Very well then I will just need you to fill out the appropriate forms then turn them in to my aide and she will take care of all the remaining paper work. Enjoy your stay here and good luck during the exam."
The young woman bowed and smiled as she gestured for her students to precede her out the door. The aide beckoned them over and held out the paper work for then to fill out.

Naruto smiled as he walked between his two brothers. His cape billowed slightly as a trace of wind caught it. He was enjoying his return to Konoha, and he felt happy that Sarutobi was still around. Glancing to his right he noticed one of his favorite spots, turning slightly he walked towards the small stand. His teammates shrugged and followed. Naruto leaned forward a bit and glanced inside the cooking section of the stand. Inside a young woman was tending to a pot of ramen. Naruto was shocked when he realized she had a baby strapped to her back. She felt someone's eyes on her and turned slightly to see three boys patiently waiting. Blushing at her rudness she moved to the counter.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you three come up."
Naruto watched her through the henge he had placed on his eye. Normal civilians would panic if the saw the blood red eye. He shrugged of her apology.
"It's all right we just now walked up."
She smiled. "So what can I get you guys?"
Naruto perked up. "A large bowel of Miso Ramen."
Nodding she turned to the sword wielding masked boy next to him. "And you?"
"A large bowl of beef ramen would be nice."
She nodded and turned back to her last customer. "and you?"
"The same."
She nodded again and moved back to the stove. Naruto was drooling in anticipation of once again enjoying a bowel of his favorite ramen.

Naruto took the lead as he showed his teammates his old town. The other two didn't mind they were actually enjoying the quiet. Naruto would just point if he passed something or someone he knew but not much was ever said. They looked up in surprise as they heard someone yelling. Glancing at each other they headed towards the noise.

Kankuro was still tormenting Konohamaru when Naruto walked up. Gaara and Sasuke had just finished their little chat. Gaara was about to move off when he saw them. Temari wondering why he stopped followed his gaze to Naruto's team. Kankuro also followed his gaze. Sakura who was stuck babysitting the kids noticed their gaze and turned around. Sasuke jumped to the ground and moved to stand next to his fellow teammates. Shio who was also helping Sakura with the children stood up his red shirt blending well with his red hair.
Hey kit. Let me take over for a second.
'Huh? Why should I let you take over?'
Because that kid with the gourd is also a container and I Want to stir up some trouble.
'The last time you wanted to stir up trouble, we ended up trying to restrain Drekk before he could destroy an entire village. I don't think so fox I don't want to do that again.'
No, that was really stupid of me. All I want to do is talk to the demon inside of him.
'Nothing else you just want to talk to him?'
Yes
'Alright but if I get the feeling that your planning something I will make you regret it like last time. Understand?'
Perfectly
Naruto closed his eyes and let control go to his bodies' occupant. When he opened his eyes he glared at Gaara radiating a killing intent so strong it made the sand ninja jerk slightly. The others were paralyzed by Naruto's killing intent. Naruto and company walked slowly towards the team from sand.
Shukaku it's nice to see you again. I look forward to facing you during the exam.
Gaara/Shukaku shivered as Naruto and his team walked past. This wasn't lost on the sand siblings. Who once released from the effects of Kyuubi's killing intent stared after them. Team 7 did like wise. If nothing else this would prove to be one of the most bizarre chunin exams ever.
A/N alright I know that was brief but I just felt like writing this one also the reason I mentions Shio's shirt is because of a trekkie joke if you don't get it you haven't watched Star Trek enough anyways this is an AU fic starting from Manga 3 .
