Kenji stood near the gates of the Academy and watched as countless genin made there way past him and into the building. Kenji was ready to get this exam started so he and Haku could leave this place.

"Kenji, you are early" Kurenai walked up to the masked swordsman. Behind her walked the other two 'members' of Kenji's team.

"I'm always early to anything important, Kurenai" Kenji's eyed the three leaf ninja. "Now let's get this exam over with" Kenji headed towards the doors of the academy.

Shino and Hinata followed the masked swordsman, just as Kenji was about to pull the doors open Kurenai appeared in front of them. "Kenji, take this." She unties the headband from around her forehead. "You have to be identified as a ninja of one village or another" she pushed the cloth and metal into Kenji's hand.

"Kurenai, unlike Haku who wears the mist headband because she views it as a kind of home. I on the other hand was thrown out of this village and joined Sensei when he was on the run." Kenji dropped the headband on the ground at her feet.

"Kenji, you need to wear this"

"No, you and the Hokage want me to wear this thing" Kenji pushed his way past Kurenai. "Let's go."

Shino and Hinata followed Kenji through the doors of the academy as Kurenai stood in shock as her headband lay on the ground. Picking it up Kurenai headed towards the Hokage Tower to inform her boss that Kenji had no intention in joining the leaf village.

As Kenji made his way through the halls he took notice of the signs that told them to head to the third floor. After finding a flight of stairs he and the two leaf genin marched up the stairs, in silence.

"Kenji, why is it that you dislike the Village so much?" Shino was the one to break the silence.

Kenji tossed a glance over his shoulder and saw Hinata give a nod. "When I was six years, old I had survived more than two hundred attacks that left me almost dead most times" Kenji said in a monotone. "Then one night a group of villagers took me to the guards and they helped get rid of me."

"W…what do y…you m…mean get r…rid of you?" Hinata stuttered out.

"They tied me to a summon and told it to drop me somewhere, I landed outside of Haku's camp." Kenji told the two leaf ninja. "After I came to, I wandered into Haku and sensei's camp."

"What happened after that?" Shino asked.

"Sensei offered to teach me the sword, and a way to avoid this hell hole." The swordsman said. "Now, let's get to the room where the exam takes place and get this over with."

The three teenagers walked pass a small group of ninja after two flights of stairs. Most ninja stood outside the doors where two genin refused to let them through the door. All three of them knew right away that it was the second floor not the third where the test was going to take place. So without stopping they made there way up the last flight of stairs.

Kenji stood back and away from the rest of the group as Shino ad Hinata looked around for their classmates how might be taking the exam. After about five miniuts the doors opened and another group of leaf genin walked in and stood there in shock at the sheer number of people talking the exam. Shino and Hinata looked over to the group ad stuck up a conversation.

It took Kenji a few seconds to realize that his 'teammates' had wandered off to visit with another team. Kenji looked over and noticed a certain pinkett clinging to one arm of a brooding Sharingan user. On his other arm was a blond that Kenji did not recognize.

"Shino, Hinata where is Kiba? I thought you had to have three members to compete in the exam." Sakura asked as they made there way over.

"No, the Hokage added another member because Kiba is unable to take the exam." Shino told their classmates.

"Really? Who?" a chubby boy with a bag of chips asked.

"He is a swordsman that was traveling through the village and is doing a faor for the Hokage" the resident bug keeper explained how the Hokage wanted to make sure that team 8 was able to take the exam. "It is truly amazing seeing the apprentice of one of the seven swordsman fight."

When Shino mentioned the fact that the replacement was a swordsman from the Mist, Sakura's face went white while Sasuke began to scan the room for Kenji.

"You know that you guys should be quieter" a silver haired guy walked over to the group of genin. "I'm Kabuto, but you shouldn't worry about me but the people giving you the death glare" Eight genin turned around and saw the other contestants staring at them. "I take it you are the rookies fresh from the academy."

"So, Kabuto is this the second time you have taken the exam?" Sakura asked him.

"No this is my seventh time, so I have lots of information on it, and the people taking it." Kabuto reached into his pouch and pulled out a pile of cards. "These are my nin-info cards"

"Nin-info cards?" all the genin looked at him.

"I have information on every genin taking this exam." Pulling a card out and placing it on the floor and began to pump chakra into the card and a graph appeared on the once blank card. "The leaf has the most genin taking this exam, but each village has sent their best genin to represent them."

"Do these cards have individual information?" Sasuke leaned towads Kabuto.

"Yes, do you have a description, or name?"

"Rock Lee of Leaf, Gaara of the Sand" Sasuke told him.

Kabuto pulled out two cards and pumped chakra into them, "First is Rock Lee, a Genin from the Leaf, his first time taking the exam even though he had been a genin for over a year. He has twenty D rank missions and 12 C ranks, his teammates are Neji Hyuga, and Ten Ten under Gai. No real skill in nin or genjustu but his taijustu is nearly off the charts." Sasuke nodded.

"Gaara of the Desert, no information because he is a new comer from a different country. Mission history 8 C rank and 1 B rank, he did this without getting a single scratch."

"How does a genin go on a B rank mission and not get a single scratch?! The blonde was in total shock. "He ust have some real power."

"Kabuto, I have one more, I only have a first name and what he looks like." Sasuke told Kabuto. With a nod from four eyes Sasuke started to describe Kenji. "…about my height, a guy named Kenji something. Oh, he was trained by one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist"

The group of genin stood there in shock hearing that a guy who fought Sasuke was trained by the such a famous swordsman. Shino made a glance back to Kenji to se if he had heard any of discussion. Kenji stood still as Kabuto started to search his cards.

"Here, is this him?" Kabuto held up a single card. "Kenji Uzumaki, born in Konoha, but disappeared at age six. His real name…" Before he could finish the card a sword sank through the card and was pulled out of Kaubto's hands.

"Can't get over the fact the I beat you Uchiha" Kenji torn the card in his hand.

"You what are you doing here?" Sakura rumped in his face. "How can you compete by yourself or with that hussy of yours?"

"First, call Haku a hussy one more time and it will take a whole pack of Inuzaka's to find all the pieces I cut you into. Second I'm taking the exam so Team 8 can take the exam even though They are missing a teammate." The other six genin stare at the two real members of team 8. They all asked it if t was true only to get a quick nod from each member.

"I'll get you, and that piece of ass that follows you around" After that sentence Sasuke found himself pined to the wall quicker that he could register, with Kenji's calloused hand around his neck and two senbon aimed right at his eyes.

"A step to far Uchiha," Kenji moved the senbon closer and closer to Sauke's eyes. Sasuke tried to move but his head was held in place by Kenji's hand. He began to sweat at the thought of losing his eyes.

A mere inch from Sasuke's eyes the senbon were stopped by a giant of a man. "Uzumaki, do you want to get disqualified?" Kenji looked up at the man with a cold stare. "Let go of the Uchiha and go find a seat. THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU! YOU HAVE ONE MINIUTE TO FIND YOUR SEATS!"

Sasuke dropped to the ground as Kenji vanished. The giant made his way to the front of the room.

"Alright maggots, I'm Ibiki, and the first proctor of the Chunin Exam" From there he began to explain his rules. As the rules got weirder and weirder people began to sweat more and more. After the papers were passed out and the time began did Kenji understand the purpose of the exam.

'They want us to cheat but not get caught. There is no way that everyone could answer the problems, but if I'm right then there is a plant somewhere with the answers.' Kenji thought to himself. After realizing the true meaning of the test Kenji set to work a way for acquiring the answers.

His idea was to create a water clone and transform it into a fly or bug of some sorts and have it fly around the room. Kenji had realized a while ago that the clones had a slight memory of what they saw. Zabuza had taught him to use the clones for short distance information gathering. Over the next forty minutes his clones gathered the information that Kenji needed to get through the exam.

"Alright Maggots, time for the tenth question." Ibiki shouted. "The tenth question is an all or nothing question. So that means if one person answers the question qrong the entire team will be disqualified from this test and BANNED from ever taking the Chunin Exam ever again." Every person in the room sweat dropped. "So, if you don't have the balls to take the question you can leave now."

After a few seconds, about six people raised there hands and their teams left the room.

"Alright, know that those losers are out of the way it is time for the final question." Ibiki picked up an piece of chalk. "You all… Pass"

"WHAT?" Sakura was in total shock. "We did all that work for nothing?"

"No, you idiot. The first nine questions are used to test how well you gather information, without getting caught." The proctor told the remaining genin.

Before Ibiki could say anymore the window came crashing in and a woman dressed so scantly that it gave half the guy in the room got nosebleeds.
