The next morning Hokage's Office
"Alright Naruto what do I need to know about the Chuunin exams?" Hiruzen asked him when he arrived that morning.
"Lots Jiji as it is the start of a lot of things that went wrong. Orochimaru assassinated the Kazekage and when the finals came around he attended in disguise as him and tricked Suna into invading us. He is also the leader of the new village called Oto and they joined Suna into invading us. We were successful in winning but it was not at great cost. During the second exam he infiltrated the forest of death and marked Sasuke with a curse seal which lead Sasuke to defecting six months later to him. Also during the invasion you faced him alone and he used the Edo tensei to revive the first two Hokage, which you then had to fight all three. The three combined were to strong for you so you had to use the reaper death seal to seal them away along with Orochimaru's arms. You died afterwards. Oh we also lost Gekko Hayate when he tried to tail the spy Orochimaru has in Konoha." Naruto told him in his serious mode. Hiruzen looked like he had aged ten years in that discussion after hearing all of the things his ex-student had done.
"I see. That's news is discerning. Ok first off who's the spy?" Hiruzen asked wanting to nip that bud first.
"His name is Kabuto Yakushi he works at the hospital and is pretending to be a Genin. He will be in the Chuunin exams but will forfeit before the Third task. So have Jiraiya follow him instead when he forfeits we cannot lose our sword master." Naruto said and Hiruzen agreed to his logic.
"The only other thing we should change really is you not fighting Orochimaru alone. He attacks during the third task in the middle of Sasuke and Gaara's match. I can handle him in the forest of death and prevent him from marking Sasuke this time. You should also use this opportunity to retire Jiji and choose a successor. Last time me and Jiraiya had to go and retrieve Tsunade for the position. Also since the council could make the decisions for promotions only Shikamaru was promoted even if I made it to the finals and battled an unstable jinchuuriki." Naruto said to him before he cursed himself at Hiruzens inquisitive look at why the council would prevent Naruto's promotion.
"Ahaha I meant to not say anything about this but the first time around you didn't keep me being a Jinchuuriki secret so I was hated in the village until I saved everyone from Nagato." Naruto said laughing it off while feeling bad at Hiruzen's guilty look.
"It's ok though now Jiji I am really happy in this timeline." Naruto said smiling a bright smile.
"I see. Your capacity to love and forgive is truly incredible Naruto. Alright I will make preparation we wont be caught flat footed this time around." Hiruzen said. Naruto nodded.
They spent two more hours going over the more intricate parts of preventing the invasion from causing too much damage before they concluded their meeting.
"Oh Kakashi should be giving you guys your papers tomorrow so expect that." Hiruzen said as Naruto left. Naruto nodded as he closed the door.
XXXX
The next morning at training ground 7
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all just arrived at the training ground and seen Kakashi waiting on them. They were used to him no longer being late though because he was taking his team serious now.
"Alright team I called you here today because I have something for you." Kakashi said as he took out three pieces of paper and handed them over to his students.
"The Chuunin exams?" Sakura asked.
"Correct at the end of our break at the end of this week the Chuunin exams will be taking place. I have nominated you three for them as I feel your ready." He said with an eyesmile. Naruto whooped for joy while Sasuke smirked. Sakura would have been intimidated if it weren't for the harsh training she had been going through lately to at least try to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke. Her earth style was going pretty well and she added genjutsu to her repertoire as well because of her chakra control. If she made Chuunin she would have the opportunity to work in the hospital to become a med-nin.
"Fill out your forms and turn them in to the academy at the end of the week if your participating. Your off for the rest of the week good luck." with that he popped away in his usual fashion.
"Guess I will see you guys at the academy then." Naruto said with a smile.
"Tch you will I can't let you surpass me." Sasuke said smirking as he waved when he walked away.
"I'll see you guys later. I am going to the library to see if I can find some more genjutsu." Sakura said as she to left.
Naruto nodded to them as he turned and left. He knew it was going to go different this time around but he didn't expect the changes to already start happening. He already had the villages respect because of his moniker and now he noticed that Sakura and Konohamaru didn't run into each other this time because he hadn't met him yet. He forgot to meet the kid this time. He wondered if he was going to run into the Sand siblings differently this time as well.
Just then he heard a smack and a kid yelp while a guy sounded pissed. 'Guess even with changes some things will stay the same.' Naruto mused as he turned down an alley way to see Konohamaru being held up by his clothing by Kankuro like last time and with his sister behind him trying to stop it. He noticed one huge change that he was not expecting. Gaara was up in the tree like last time looking with emotionless eyes except 'he' looked different! 'He' had long wavy red hair a dainty looking face and soft looking skin. 'He' was wearing a long red one sleeved coat that showed the fishnet shirt 'he' wore from the fact that 'his' right shoulder was exposed. The red coat went down to 'his' ankles but opened up in front of 'his' waist showing a grey miniskirt. 'He' had red boots with black straps for shoes. 'His' Hi-ate was around 'his' stomach. 'He' still had 'his' gourd strapped across 'his' back.
It was at this point that confirmed for Naruto that he was in a parallel dimension. Gaara was a girl here! Still he couldn't deny that she looked pretty. He decided to stop staring and confront Kankuro.
"Excuse me sand-nin." Naruto called out getting Kankuro and Temari to look at him.
"Yea what do you want?" Kankuro said.
"While you are allowed to be here because of the Chuunin exams it does not give you permission to assault the Hokage's grandson." Naruto said calmly with his hands in his pockets. Kankuro paled and instantly dropped Konohamaru who was looking at Naruto in awe before he ran to hide behind him.
"Kankuro you idiot! We could have been disqualified immediately for that!" Temari scolded.
"Temari is right." A cold voice stated. Making Temari and Kankurou freeze.
"G..Gaara what's up?" Kankuro nervously stuttered out.
"Your an embarrassment of the village. Come on let's go." Gaara said. Kankuro and Temari nodded and walked over to her before she turned to look at Naruto.
"What's your name?" Gaara asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki. What's yours?" Naruto said. He noticed the other to pale as they realized who they ran into while Gaara smiled a vicious smile for a second before it was gone.
"I am Gaara of the Sand. Mother wants your blood I look forward to fighting you." With that she was gone while Temari and Kankuro walked away.
Naruto flinched when he heard that and it caused him to remember something huge that he passed up forgetting all about it. He jumped onto the rooftops and went home as fast as he could as he needed to get in his mindscape to resolve it.
He arrived at his house and quickly went to his bed and sat in a meditative position before he found himself in his white expanse of a mindscape. He pondered about changing it in the future for the Bijuu's but right now he had a bigger problem.
He spotted all the Bijuu in a circle around him as they sensed his presence already. He looked up to them and spoke.
"I can't believe I forgot about this but what about the other Bijuu that were in this dimension?" Naruto asked.
"Ohh there still there with their original host. This dimension just basically has twins now." Kurama explained.
"What about you Kurama? There is still only one of you with me." Naruto said looking confused.
"He was assimilated into me when we first got here. The same would go if you reabsorbed the rest of us we would just assimilate into our older forms even if it's just by three years." Kurama explained.
"I see so the akatsuki will still be a major problem since they can still capture the Bijuu." Naruto muttered as he sat down.
"You don't have to worry about that for another three years Naruto. Remember they have to go by tails and will attack Gaara in three years." Matatabi said to him.
"I guess so." Naruto said.
"There is some good you can do now though Naruto. Fu is here at the Chuunin exams as well. She just went unnoticed because her team failed in the forest of death when her teammates were killed by giant spiders. Her village blamed her and outcast her. She stayed in the wild after that for three years hating humans and was easily captured by the Akatsuki because of it. So I advise you to help my previous host and convince Hiruzen to allow her into the village. You can say she would be targeted to the leader of Takigakure and the sniveling man will easily let her go." Chomei stated.
"I will help her the best I can then!" Naruto proclaimed to Chomei.
"Good remember from the war when she was reincarnated she was the Green haired Jinchuuriki. Find her and help her in the forest of death. To make it easier you should allow her teammates to die again as they were horrible as well and bullied her." Chomei said. Naruto nodded.
"All right before I leave do you guys want me to allow you control so you can change things to your liking in here?" Naruto asked.
"Oh thank god yes. All this white is annoying." Matatabi complained. Naruto just nodded and allowed them free reign as he faded out.
Once outside of his mindscape Naruto decided to go to sleep.
XXXX
The academy 6 days later
Naruto arrived at the front of the building and found his teammates waiting on him. He nodded to them and the three walked inside all three giving the Chuunin attendant their forms outside before going in.
Inside the spotted numerous teams about but the ignored them and went upstairs. Once they reached the next level they noticed to their confusion a bunch of teams arguing over trying to get in a classroom that said 301 on top of it. Only Naruto knew what was up at first.
"There's a genjutsu on the door. Let's ignore it and go up to the next level. It will weed out the idiots." Naruto whispered to his teammates who noticed the genjutsu as well. They nodded and followed him upstairs. They never noticed they were being watched by a Genin in green spandex.
'That must be Sasuke Uchiha and the other one is Naruto Uzumaki. I cannot wait to challenge the both of them' the Genin thought as he watched them walk up the stairs. He then decided that his team to should get going.
XXXX
With team 7
They had just reached the third floor when they spotted their Sensei waiting on them. "Sensei what are you doing here?" Sakura asked when she spotted him.
"Oh good all three of you are here." He eye smiled. Seeing their confusion well except Naruto who he was suspicious of getting extra information from the Hokage he explained. "If all three of you hadn't shown you wouldn't have been able to advance. This is a team test and requires all member of your team." he told his shocked Genin.
"Well good luck to you three." Kakashi said as he poofed away.
"Let's do this team 7." Naruto said putting his fist in the middle of them. Sakura cheered as she bumped his fist while Sasuke smirked and did so as well. With that they walked into the exam room.
They immediately noticed all the glares being sent at them trying to intimidate them. Naruto and Sasuke just shrugged it off while Sakura was effected a little bit but joined her teammates in walking over to another area.
"Naruto-kun!" a flying purple bullet said as it latched itself onto Naruto. Naruto sweatdropped at this weird change in the timeline. 'So she is my fangirl now instead of Sasuke's?' he thought.
Ino's teammates Shikamaru and Choji walked over to join team 7 as well.
"What a drag you guys are doing this as well?" sighed out Shikamaru.
"Yahoo you guys are here too?" a loud obnoxious voice said.
"Oh hey Kiba so all the rookies are here then?" Naruto said spotting him and his team joining them.
"Yes it is logical that our sensei are trying to give us some experience with these sort of test more than us actually passing." Shino said pushing up his glasses.
"Yes that does sound like something they would do." Shikamaru said agreeing with him.
"Whatever me and my team will pass this easily." Kiba boasted.
"You guys should keep it down." a voice interrupted them. They all turned and spotted a silver haired Genin that looked older than them and was wearing purple and white clothing. Naruto tensed wanting to kill the man in front of him but held off on it as he had to wait for his chance.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked suspiciously.
The guy pushed up his glasses before he answered. "My name is Kabuto Yakushi and I guess you could call me your Senpai in these test." he said.
"So you done this test before?" Sakura asked.
"Yes I have participated seven times." he said.
"Wow you must suck!" Kiba laughed. Kabuto's eyes twitched but he just smiled and answered.
"Well its because of that I have these." he said as he pulled out a deck of cards.
"What are those." Shikamaru asked curious.
"These cards hold information on all of the Genin I have encountered over the years of doing these test. I even have information on all of you." Kabuto said.
"Oh yea prove it." Kiba said.
"Hmm okay I will show you the info on the most famous of your group." he said and Naruto tensed. Kabuto pulled out a card and poured some chakra in it.
"Naruto Uzumaki Konoha's Yellow Death. So far he has completed 20 D-rank missions and oh my 1 B-rank mission and 2 A-ranks. It says his specialty's are Ninjutsu, Fuuinjutsu, and Kenjutsu." Kabuto said to a shocked room. Naruto's teammates looked at him with a raised eyebrow at the extra missions. He signed to them 'Will explain later'. Naruto had started teaching them Anbu hand signs for more stealth on a mission that required silence. Meanwhile the other rookies looked at Naruto with respect and jealousy in Kiba's place.
"How could you know that? I have not competed in the exams before hand and my mission stats should be confidential?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow goading him. Kabuto just smiled and laughed nervously.
"Ahaha I work in the archives for the village. I should regroup with my team now as I can see it's about to begin." Kabuto hurriedly explained before walking back to his teammates.
When he left Naruto scanned the room. He found Orochimaru looking at Sasuke hungrily and ignored him looking elsewhere. He spotted the sand siblings and seen Gaara eyeing him. He looked over the crowd of Genin before he spotted a head of mint green hair. Finally spotting who he was looking for he looked her over.
She had short mint green hair and tanned skin. Awesome orange eyes and had a cheerful smile on her face but he could tell it was fake as he used to look like that. He seen that she wore a white top that stopped below her bust and was sleeveless. She had a fishnet top under it that hung down further from her top. She wore white arm sleeves on her arms that was not connected to her shirt. She had a white skirt with fishnet shorts showing underneath it. She had white ninja sandals as well. The most noticeable thing about her was the red canister strapped on her back. He knew it contained bugs she could control like because of her being Chomei's jinchuuriki.
He would keep an eye on her so he could save her like he promised Chomei. While he was scouting out the competition he noticed their instructor came in more peacefully this time as Kabuto didn't have the chance to insult the sound village.
"Alright shut up. I am the proctor of the first exam Morino Ibiki. Now line up and take a number while I explain the first exam." he said. Naruto ignored the explanation of the rules as he already knew but he did make sure to pick a different number this time to see where he would go.
As luck would have it he ended up in between Fu and some Mist Genin who looked intimidated to be sitting next to him. He did have a reputation in the Mist right now so he wasn't surprised.
Deciding to see what her personality was like Naruto turned towards Fu with a smile. "Good luck with the exam." he said to her. She smiled back. "Thanks and you too." she said smiling brightly.
When Ibiki said begin Naruto decided to see how his information gathering skills were. He had a plan but couldn't do it until they were twenty minutes in. So he placed his hand on his cheek and looked like he was completely bored to which he was. This caused Kakashi who was in the Jonin relam watching the test to facepalm while the other Jonin snickered.
20 minutes later Naruto released something from his hand which were smokebombs. They detonated and when everyone was coughing in the smoke Naruto copied the answers off of a fake genin's test and sat back. The smoke was cleared by a gust of wind by an annoyed Ibiki who looked around the room for the person that did it. He spotted the Uzumaki kid looking bored but he could see him smirking a bit.
'Smart kid. Cause a distraction and take the information while everybody is distracted.' he thought smirking.
"Ten minutes" Ibiki called out. The scribbling of a few papers got more frantic at that.
XXXX
"Alright now for the final question. You have a choice whether or not you want to take it." Ibiki said to the Genin.
"Ehh why wouldn't we want to take the question?" Temari called out.
"Because." began Ibiki smirking. "If any of you get it wrong your whole team is disqualified from ever participating in the Chuunin exams ever again." he said and this caused a cauterwail of protest.
"Shut up you were just unfortunate to have me as a proctor. Now raise your hand if you don't want to take the question so that we may catalog what teams failed." he said with his arms crossed. At this several teams started quitting. Naruto just stayed there with a bored look on his face. Sakura seeing her teammates look confident didn't even think about raising her hand.
Since Naruto didn't make an outburst this time more teams quit not having the confidence. This left about twenty teams of Genin sitting there.
"Is that all of then?" Ibiki questioned looking stern. Seeing nobody else moving he nodded. "Good then you all pass." he said.
"WHAT!" yelled most of the Genin.
"The world is not all sunshine and daisys brats. This test was designed to test your information gathering skills. All over the room are Chuunin disguised as Genin. We needed to see if you had the guts to be Chuunin." Ibiki said taking off his bandanna showing off his scars. At that moment a pair of kunai flashed into the room and stuck to the wall unrolling a banner that read. 'The sexy and single Anko Mitarashi has arrived.'.
A black ball came into the room exploding into the form of Anko and her scantily dressed self.
"Alright Brats the second exam begins now!" Anko said eyeing all of them.
"Damn only twenty teams left? Nice work Ibiki. I'll cut them down by half though." she said smirking.
"Follow me to your next location for the exams." she ordered and leaped out of the window. Naruto and his team were the first to follow her. Which led to all the other Genin teams following after them.
XXXX
Training ground 44
"Alright brats welcome to the forest of death." Anko said dramatically gesturing to the huge forest that was behind her. "This will become the location of the second exam. For this exam you will be receiving one of two scrolls that are marked as Heaven and Earth respectively." she said taking out one of each scroll.
"Your objective is to obtain the pair to your scroll through any means necessary and then finding your way to the tower in the middle of the forest. I will be splitting them evenly 10 earth scrolls to half of you and 10 heaven scrolls to the other half forcing your numbers down by half no matter what." she continued to the wary Genin who were eyeing each other.
"That's not to say it will be 10 teams finishing, because this forest is dangerous and filled with countless poisonous plants and huge animals. Plus you will be in there for five days which is the time limit for this exam." she explained to them.
"What will we do for food!" cried Choji.
Anko rolled her eyes. "You will be capturing it yourself and fending for yourself." she said smirking.
"Can a team drop out after entering?" Shikamaru asked.
"No once your in there you stay until the time limit ends. As such all of you have to sign waivers since the leaf village is not responsible for your deaths." she said taking out a stack of papers. By now a lot of the attending Genin were thoroughly intimidated. They all lined up in booths around the training grounds to sign their forms and receive their scrolls.
Naruto's team receive a heaven scroll and Naruto sealed it onto himself. The lined up in front of a gate ready to begin. Before it started Naruto turned to his team. "Ok once we get in their I am going to send out clones to scout the other teams and possibly retrieve an earth scroll." Naruto informed them and they nodded.
"Begin!" shouted Anko sounding a buzzer and opening the gates. All the Genin flew into the forest at that.
Immediately after entering the forest Naruto created thirty shadow clones not taking any chances. He sent five of them into the direction he knew Fu's team was in to keep watch over her. After that he and his team headed north.
XXXX
30 minutes later they stopped on a tree branch and spotted a team of Ame nin looking like they were planning. Sakura was about to throw shuriken at them before Sasuke stopped her. "Wait those are Bunshin. The real ones are hiding in the bushes to the left." Sasuke whispered to her pointing to where the real three were hiding while having his sharingan activated. Sakura nodded and aimed towards it whilst Sasuke prepared a jutsu along with Naruto both in sync of what they wanted to do.
Sakura launched the shuriken into the bushes and the three bunshins faded away as three genin emerged from the bushes two of them with shuriken impaled into their legs while the other escaped them. The two impaled ones cursed while the three huddled up with their backs together looking for their ambusher.
"Fire style: pheonix flower jutsu!" Sasuke called out sending five balls of fire straight to the Genin who made themselves easier targets.
"Wind style: great breakthrough!" Naruto called out a second later greatly empowering the fire making them to large to dodge and the three Genin were engulfed in an explosion.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura dropped down with weapons drawn just in case. They needn't have bothered as once the smoke was blown away by Naruto it revealed the three Genin unconscious as their was no need to kill them.
Sakura searched them and found a heaven scroll to their disappointment. She asked them what they wanted to do with and Sasuke and Naruto said to burn it to weed out the competition. She tossed it to Sasuke who did so with a low level katon jutsu.
With that they took to the trees again and continued on.
XXXX
1 hour later Naruto sensed a huge gathering of chakra. "Get down and hang onto the trees with your chakra!" Naruto yelled as he did some handsigns when he felt it coming. Sasuke and Sakura dropped to hold onto the trees they were on when he said that.
"Wind style great breakthrough!" Naruto called out send a huge wave of wind at the same jutsu heading towards them. The one heading to them though was overpowered and blew threw Naruto's hasty jutsu. It did stall it long enough for the three to have a good foothold to not be blown away.
Once it was done the three Genin stood up looking for who did that.
"Kukuku that was a good reaction Naruto-kun." a chilling voice said right behind the three. They whirled around weapons drawn ready to fight.
