Chapter One: Chuunin Exams, Again

Once again, Naruto stood in a large classroom, surrounded by no less than 200 Genin. Once again, the Chuunin Exam started out with a written test.

This time, I'll be ready for everything, he thought. I already know what's going to happen!

Unfortunately for him, he was wrong. Ibiki was no longer the proctor for the first exam. Luckily for him, however, he was integrated into an emergency team, consisting of himself and two other Genins, Hinata's younger sister Hanabi, and Naruto's own childhood fan, Konohamaru. These two had excelled above their respective groups and been chosen for the Chuunin exams.

With some last-minute teamwork, the first exam (proctored by Ebisu) was passed. Naruto is just lucky that Ebisu is Konohamaru's father. (A.N. Author's note: not sure if Ebisu is actually Konohamaru's father…)

With the forest of death as the next test, Naruto warned his new teammates what to expect in there. Needless to say, Konohamaru had to change his pants a few times…

I really don't get what she sees in this loser, Hanabi thought to herself, even last exams proctor was cooler! Okay, maybe not him, but there's nothing good about Naruto. Hinata must be joking about him… right?

With an almost inconspicuous glance at her, Naruto saw Hanabi still looking at him like he's her next meal. "Oy, Konohamaru, why is Hinata's little sister staring at me like that?"

Konohamaru, who was busy staring at Anko like her fishnet didn't exist, turned back to him and said back, "Huh? Who's staring at you? Hanabi, why are you staring at Naruto?"

Naruto sweatdropped, and whispered to him "You kinda weren't supposed to tell her that, Konohamaru," as she glared at the two of them almost enough to activate her Byakugan with no chakra. The nearby eight or ten groups were all staring; enough to calm her down a little. Her glare was still enough to keep her two teammates quiet until Anko addressed the Genins as a whole.

"Okay, everyone. Welcome to training ground number 44. Or, as we like to call it, the forest of death. Your job is to collect both scrolls, and get to the middle, as shown here on the map…" Boring, Naruto thought. Been here, done that. "… Any questions?"

Sorry for the short chapter, I'll make it longer next time
