Chapter two! Enjoy!

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE NARUTO CHARACTER'S, THEY ALL BELONG TO MASASHI KISHIMOTO-SENSEI!

Our celebrating was interrupted by some lady who jumped through the window. "Alright brats! My name is Mitarashi Anko, and i'm the examiner for the second part of the Chuunin exams!," she yells, lifting her arms above her head, a big banner that says "Mitarashi Anko," and some other stuff on it behind her. Ibiki-sensei is blocked from view and I can't help but feel dissapointed. "I'm going to give you all a few minutes to break, so go into the lobby and be prepared... I'm not gonna go easy on you like old Ibiki here," she says, smirking. Everyone starts filing out, including her.

I'm the last to go, besides Ibiki-sensei.

I feel... motivated by him. If he hadn't torn me down like that, I would have given up and left.

I walk up to him and tap his shoulder.

"Um... Ibiki-sensei?," I say. He turns to me. "Yes?," he asks. I gulp. So intimidating... "I just wanted to thank you. If you hadn't... uh... 'stared' at me like that, and sized me up, I would have failed for sure," I say. He grins and pats my shoulder. Where he touched me tingles... "Yes, well... I see good potential in you, Uzumaki-kun," he says. I blush at the unexpected honorific. I gulp, again, and smile at him. "You really think so?," I ask, hope laced in my voice. He nods his head, smile in place. "Absolutely. I'm sure you'll be a great Hokage...," he says. My heart skips a beat. Ibiki-sensei believes in me! "T-thank you!," I exclaim, not caring about showing my blush. He grins and places his hand on my lower back, leading me out the door. He's really warm... When we reach the door, he leans down and whispers in my ear "Watch out. Anko won't go easy on you...," with that said, he pushes me out the door, closing it. I stand there for a little while...

My ear still tingles where his breath hit it.


Sakura-chan and Sasuke are waiting for me outside. "Naruto! What took you so long?," Sakura-chan asks. I grin and rub my head. "Well, I just had to talk to Ibiki-sensei for a second, that's all...," I say. Sakura-chan sighs and turns around, walking to where everyone else is at. Sasuke just 'Hn's me and lift an elegant brow. "What did you talk about?," he asks. I blush and wave my hand in front of my face. "Nothing, nothing! Geez, so nosy teme!," I shout. He frowns at me. "Whatever... Come on, Usuratonkachi," he says, dragging me.


One minute i'm going to take a leak, and then the next minute i'm eaten by a giant snake! "Ewwwwwww!," I squeal, squirming inside the monsters belly. This is, SO gross! I start slipping further and further down. "No, no! It can't end like this! I'm not gonna become snake shit today!," I shout, forming the Kage Bunshin seal and creating tons of clones. The snake blows and my clones fly everywhere, poofing all around. I stand and hold down the hot bile that forced it's way up my throat. "Ah... sick...," I say, shaking off the snake guts. "Now... where's Sakura-chan and the teme?...," I say.

I set off to go find them, when I run right into a tree.

I slide down the tree slowly, and when I hit the ground I start rolling around, whining about my hurt face. "Mmm... Good thing, no one was here to see that...," I mumble, rubbing my poor face. "I wouldn't say 'no one'...," says a voice from behind. I whip around to see... Ibiki-sensei? "Ibiki-sensei? What are you doing out here?," I ask, hoping for a change of subject to forget about my embarrassment. He shrugs and says "Just a little something going on... Don't worry about it though...," I nod, and then Ibiki-sensei lifts a brow at me. "Did you know you were the only one who didn't answer one question on the written exam?," he asks. I blush and curse in my head. Now he thinks i'm stupid! "Uh... yeah, well, you see... I knew about the tenth question!," I lie. He just gives me a look, saying "Ohhh? You did, did you?," I nod my head up and down, a smug look on my face. I nod my finger in his direction while crossing my arms over my chest. "Uh huh, uh huh. You guys thought you were so slick, but I have my own special information gathering skills, and I didn't want to show them off so I just pretended I was stupid or something, but in truth I already knew what was gonna happen so... Yeah!," I say, grinning at him... Hoping he can't read my eyes and know i'm lying, like everyone else can. He stares at me long and hard, and I start thinking I messed up big, but then he just laughs... and laughs... and, laughs... I growl and shout, pointing a finger at him "Hey! What's so funny?!," he keeps on laughing and laughing for a little while more, and then he slowly calms down, rubbing his eyes. "You're an idiot," he says. "What?! Hey listen, Ibiki-sensei, I thought you were really cool but apparently you're just a jerk like everyone else!," I shout, stomping away.

Ibiki-sensei didn't stop me.


"Sakura-chan? Where are we going?," I ask again. She's pulling me by my arm, and I think we're gonna leave the village. She groans and says "To go get Sasuke-kun. Geez Naruto, I've already told you like 3 times," she says. I nod and apologize. I know she's told me before, but the other times I wasn't even paying attention. My mind is blocked by what I saw earlier...

(Flashback)

When the Hokage's seat blew up during Sasuke's fight with Gaara, I had been asleep. Sakura-chan is filling me in, when I see a fight going on a few miles away from the arena. There's a bunch of Jounin and Anbu there, and giant snakes. I jump up and down, shouting "Oh! Oh! Ohhh! Sakura-chan, let's go watch the fight!," Sakura-chan mauls over the idea, and then nods her head. "Only for a little bit though. We've got to catch Sasuke-kun, but he shouldn't be very far so...," she says. I'm already racing towards the battlefield. Sakura-chan pulls me back when I get to close. "We can't have you getting hurt, idiot," she reprimands. I just cry mini-rivers and told her how nice and considerate she was. She conks me on the head, telling me to pay attention and that maybe I can learn a thing or two about tactic. I scan the crowd, searching for anyone I would know, when I spot Ibiki-sensei, standing right in front of the giant snakes. I cry out. What the hell is he doing?! I can't see from here, but it looks like he doing hands seals. Sakura-chan, apparently looking at what i'm looking at, says to me "He doing hand seals. They are: Boar-Dog-Bird-Tiger...," I look at her, amazed. She waves at me, saying she'll explain later, and tells me to look. What I see astonishes me.

A giant metal cat is in front of the snakes now. "Awesome!," I exclaim. I stare intently at the giant piece of art, wondering what's going to happen next...

The cat splits in half!

It takes all the snakes in one move, closing it's giant gates around them, and then chains come out and wrap around it tight. "That summoning's called the Aian Meiden (A/N: Translation: Iron maiden)," I grin and stand, filling my lungs with air and then shouting all the way across the battlefield "GOOD JOB IBIKI-SENSEI! KICK SOME ASS!," I can see the figure next to the Iron Maiden turn and I think wave. Sakura-chan grabs my arm and we race away. "You idiot! You could have gotten us killed!," she says. I just grin stupidly at her.

(Flashback over)

I grin lazily... Ibiki-sensei is so cool! "Come on Naruto! Pick up the pace!," Sakura-chan yells. I shake my head rapidly, trying to focus. "Hai Sakura-chan!," I yell, speeding it up.

I think i'm going to skip to the end of the first part of Naruto next chapter. And then after that, i'll do the Shippuden part. That will have yaoi... *grins imperviously*
