Chapter Seven
I can't believe it; I'm going to compete in the Chunin Exams already. I didn't plan on this happening for at least two years; though our C turned B rank mission did prove we are ready for something like this. I have five days to prepare for the exams, which will be enough time. I also have faith in my team; I think they'll do well. I'm currently level 33; I want to reach 35 before the exam. That means a lot of grinding; I'll need to train with Naruto and Maruboshi-Sensei extensively over the next five days. Naruto! I need to go find out if he will be in the Chunin Exam. I rush home and find Naruto sitting on the couch. He appears to be thinking hard, so I just take a seat next to him and wait for him to speak.
"I'm going to be part of the Chunin Exams." He says with disbelief in his voice.
"As am I."
"Really?"
"Yep. This is going to be great, being able to show how strong we are."
"Yea, I'll finally start getting the respect I deserve." He exclaims with a bright smile.
"It's also a step towards you becoming Hokage. Don't worry I have faith in you." We continue to talk about the exams for about an hour before going to bed. We both have plans to train our asses off the next five days.

The last five days have been down right torturous, nonstop training and studying to prepare. I leveled up three times and gained several Individual Points. I look at the Perk list and see a couple new Perks.

Keita Typhon, a Genin of Konoha. Specializing in Nintaijutsu he is deadly up close and having above average Ninjutsu skill he is also a threat at mid to long range. A true package deal, he also has above average skill in Genjutsu. With his gamer ability he has the potential to become an exceptional shinobi.
As Naruto and I walk to the classroom the first part of the exam is being held I check Naruto's Stats.

Naruto Uzumaki is a Genin of Konoha and a member of team Kakashi. His life up to this point has been made bearable only by his friendship with Keita Typhon. He is hated by his own village due to his status as the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails. His father, Minato Namikaze, was the Fourth Hokage when the Nine Tails attacked the village. Along with Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, he sealed the Nine Tails into a baby Naruto.
Reaching the classroom we take a seat and wait for the exam to start. While everyone talks and gets excited I tune it out and watch everyone in the class. There are a few who stand out, expectedly most are from Konoha. I ignore them as I know a good deal about all the Genin from Konoha. Instead I focus on the ones from the other villages that stand out. The three from the Sound Village don't look like much, but they could be a problem; they're acting strange. The three from the Sand Village are interesting, the frost two look decently strong; but the last one, no he's dangerous. So I us Observe on him.
Gaara of the Sand
Level- 36
Strength (STR) 15
Vitality (VIT) 25
Dexterity (DEX) 25
Intelligence (INT) 56
Wisdom (WIS) 52
Luck (LUK) 35
HP- 3600
CP-10000
Gaara of the Sand, a dangerous shinobi and Jinchuriki of the One Tails. At birth his mother died, but left him a powerful gift. Her love of him combined with the One Tails sand manipulation granted him the ultimate defense; a living sand shield. This shield will react on its own to protect Gaara. The sand can shift its density to be either soft of harder than steel. Outside of the automatic defense, Gaara can actively control the sand, commanding it to attack opponents. His past has turned him into an unstable, remorseless killer who believes killing is the only purpose in his life.
That's going to be a problem, if he's really unstable he might lose control of his tailed beast, and that would cause and international incident. Other than him being a Jinchuriki, most of his Stats are pretty low. His HP is especially low for his level. With is automatic defense, the only viable way to fight him is to outpace the sand with Taijutsu. I leave those thoughts for later and focus on the last three that catch my eye. They're from the Cloud Village, which is odd, because as far as I know they weren't originally going to be present this year. After using Observe on them I decide they have one of the most complete teams here. They have a Taijutsu specialist, a Ninjutsu specialist, and a medical-nin. On top of that the Jonin that came with them is none other than Killer B. the Jinchuriki of the Eight Tails and adopted brother of the Raikage. They will most assuredly be a problem. Well at least this year won't be boring.
The first part of the exam is written, with the stipulation that if one member fails the whole team fails. The test is hard, but with my intelligence as high as it is the test is a piece of cake. The test is clearly designed to test our information gathering skills. Apart from me, Shikamaru, and possibly Hinata, no one is prepared to pass this test on pure knowledge alone. At the end there is he obligatory scare tactic; if you miss this question you'll be banned from taking the exam ever again. Good, it gets rid of the weak. Afterwards an odd woman named Anko busts through a window and delves into a pointless monologue; and then leads us to the Forest of Death. She delivers another scare tactic and then tells us the mission; gather two scrolls, the scrolls of Heaven and Earth. This is a team exercise, I turn to my team.
"You guys ready?"
"Hell yeah!" Kiba exclaims excitedly.
"Y-yes." Hinata responds timidly.
"Then lets go kick ass."
I know it's a little shorter than normal, but it's a transition chapter. Plus two in one night. Please review.
