Okay this chapter will be very different. I am not doing that whole genjutsu thing for entering the chunin exam building. Also I will have tons of useless filler extra characters, as I need extras. Their names will be Random Genin #1, #2 and #3 and they are from the Hidden Grass. they will never be used past this chapter so I didn't even bother making names. As for Kabuto's teammates, they will be named as such because I am WAY too lazy too look for their names and they will also not make it past this chapter. I think that's it enjoi.

Chapter 6

The Preliminaries

---------------------------

Team 7 arrived at the tower after Kori rendezvoused with the rookie's. Not many teams arrived already, but there were still some teams that had arrived. Both Suna teams, Team Gai, Team 8, Kabuto's team and a few minutes after Team 7, the Sound team arrived. Upon walking in, Team 7 turned in all their scrolls, shocking the proctors that they had 10 Heaven scrolls and an Earth Scroll. Team 7 went to a secluded corner of the room to discuss what they will do next. "I don't know." Kori answered blankly. The three sarcastically fell over and hopped up.

"What do you mean 'you don't know'?" blasted Naruto.

"Well, either we have preliminary matches, or we take a month's break and meet up for the real thing, so like I said, I don't know."

"Oh…" dumbly replied Naruto. Team 10 arrived on the last day and everyone got ready for the preliminary rounds. Everyone was grouped with their team and sensei as they waited for their names to be called. Round 1: Jitsun vs. Zaku. The two walked in the center to get ready for their fight.

"Go!" called the coughing guy (A/N that's how I know him as I know his name is Hayate Gekko ok so I don't want anyone going "his name's Hayate Gekko" ok I know it, I just like calling him the coughing guy ^^) Zaku blasted with his arm cannons while Jitsun stayed where he was flipping handseals. 'Wind Blade!' he thought as he concentrated chakra into his hands. He held them like he would a sword and slashed the blasts away. The gusting winds clashed together causing the sight to be disfigured. When the wind died down, Jitsun wasn't where he was before, but standing behind Zaku, kunai at neck. Match over. Round 2: Neji vs. Hinata, winner Neji. Round 3: Naruto vs. Kiba, winner Naruto. Round 4: Sakura vs. Ino, draw. Round 5: Gaara vs. Kabuto's teammate, winner Gaara. Round 6: Kankuro vs. Random Genin (A/N lol so random and yes the pun was intended) winner Kankuro. Round 7: Sasuke vs. Kabuto's other teammate, winner Sasuke. Round 8: Temari vs. Tenten, winner Temari. Round 9: Trisk vs Random Genin. The two got in the arena and got ready to have their match. 'Bout time' Trisk though as he walked down to the arena
"You're my opponent, this'll be quick" The random genin said
"Says you, truth be told though, you're the one that's fucked"
"Begin!" Hayate announced
"NINJA ART: ENTANGLING VINES!" The random guy said before swinging his arms at Trisk, turning them into thick vines
"FIRE STYLE: FIREBAL JUTSU!" Trisk countered, burning the genins arms, who instantly deactivated his jutsu to save his arms
"Alright, tough guy huh, let's see how you handle this!" the genin said before doing a few more handsigns "NINJA ART: CORROSIVE SLIME JUTSU!" he spat out a green liquid, which Trisk simply dodged
"FIRE STYLE: PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!" Trisk said, launching a large number of fireballs at the genin, each one hit, and each of them held a shuriken. Match over. Round 10: Thera vs Kin. "OOO a Sound nin, this might be fun!" Thera said before jumping over the railing to the arena
"Please, you won't stand a chance" Kin said, throwing a few needles with bells on them
"Missed me sucka!" Thera said, dodging the needles with ease, she seemed a bit flexible, then needles without bells hit her in the shoulder a legs
And all hell broke loose
"WHAT THE HELL BITCH, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IF I WASN'T DODGING YOUR BELLED NEEDLES THOSE WOULD HAVE HIT MY ASS AND CHEST, JUST WHY THE HELL ARE YOU AIMING IN THOSE PLACES ANYWAY!?!?" Thera SCREAMED, then she did a few handsigns "Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"
Suddenly Kin was screaming as she watched Orochimaru throw her to the people who tortured her so he could obtain another person to train
"HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!" Thera screamed, clearly still pissed "Demonic Illusion: Hell Visiting Technique!" *I know it's not very original, but it works*
Then Kin started screaming louder, she watched as flames enveloped her body and demonic looking being started to whip her the way her torturers would before she joined Orochimaru, she then fainted
"YES!" Thera said, jumping up and thrusting her fist upwards as well "I WON!"
"Thera, stop acting like an idiot" Trisk said, but she simply ignored him and kept jumping up and down
"Thera, get back up here" Jitsun said
"Ok Jitsun" Thera said, instantly running back up to where she was before. Match Over. Round 11: Shikamaru vs Random Genin, winner Shikamaru. Round 12: Dosu vs Choji, winner Dosu. Round 13: Shino vs Kabuto, winner Shino. Round 14: Kori vs Rock Lee. "Finally! Gai-sensei, I will make you proud!" Lee beamed,

"Kakashi-san, how much should I hold back?"

"I don't care…"

"Sweet!" Kori mumbled.

"I hope you will be prepared to lose!" Lee beamed, running down the stairs. Kori sighed and calmly said

"Whatever, just don't whine to me when I crush your spirit." He stepped up to the railing, stepped onto it and front flipped his way down and upon landing, drew his katana 'Might as well use the Naiyagan, it's not like it's a secret anyway.' He thought.

"Begin!" called the coughing proctor and Lee charged and attacked before Kori activated his Naiyagan Kori easily blocked the attacks. Lee was wondering how he could keep up without moving his body much.

"You really want to try using taijutsu against an Uzumaki? Let alone the son of the clan leader?" the words shocked the entire rookie 9. Team 7 for the 'son of the clan leader' and everyone plus their sensei for the 'Uzumaki' part. They all thought Naruto's family was dead, if any. No one from Konoha knew that there was an Uzumaki clan except Kakashi and Sarutobi. Kakashi who was standing right next to Gai calmly said to him

"Gai, pull Lee from the match, Kori could kill him without any strength at all. No one outside the Uzumaki clan can defeat a true Uzumaki in close quarters. Lee can only fight in close quarters. Kori as of right now is the heir to the clan." Every single person was shocked except for Kori and Kakashi. "Not only has he perfected the Uzumaki taijutsu, but his ninjutsu and genjutsu rival those of Uchiha Itachi." Gai got cocky and said

"Lee, show them your strength and take off the weights!"

"Yes sir!" Lee saluted, took them off and dropped them. As they dropped Temari muttered under her breath

"There's no way those can make a difference against my Kori-k-" BOOM! The weights crashed leaving all in awe except Kori, who smirked. "You think-" Lee appeared at his side and struck a kick which was also easily blocked "that you're fast?" Lee kept attacking only to be blocked or dodged, seemingly not caring. Kori finally took an opportunity to strike. Lee took some distance between them and Kori appeared at his side. Kori tripped Lee up and elbowed him in the chest on the way down. "Uzumaki Takedown!" Kori fell with Lee, legs outstretched and held himself inches off the ground by his elbow in Lee's chest, crushing him. "You think you can defeat me? I can hold my own against any of the Sannin and Sandaime-sama. I'm a match for the one who gave me life…my mother, the strongest Uzumaki to ever walk this earth. She completed the Yondaime's Rasengan technique. If you believe you are stronger than I am…you are literally insane." He said in an eerie monotonic voice. Naruto couldn't believe his ears

'Kaa-san? My Kaa-san? Can I be related to people this strong? Why am I so weak? Why do I have to be in the shadow of this great clan? Such big expectations, can I be this strong? Live up to these expectations? NO! I can't think like this, I'm Uzumaki Naruto If my Kaa-san is this strong then I'll surpass her to become Hokage. Believe it!' Naruto beamed to life and shouted "Just wait until my training is complete, then I'll become stronger than both of you! Believe it!" Sakura giggled at her boyfriends ambitious statement and Kori smirked and thought

'Maybe Nii-chan…maybe' "time to end this" Kori spoke, but in a cold voice as if going for the kill. He pushed into Lee's chest and used it as momentum to sweep up standing. He juggled his sword in his left hand and hummed a nursery rhyme sound, somewhat soothingly. Lee found that he couldn't move, but he struggled mentally to do so. "I see that you realized you can't move," Kori said breaking the hum "It's a type of genjutsu that soothes your body to the point where you're unable to move, but it only affects those I want it too, putting the jutsu's chakra use into a specific targets only ears, in this case you." Kori began to walk away "Check and mate, match over." The coughing proctor called the match and Kori dispelled the jutsu. Everyone was dumbfounded at an unexpected finish. 'Clap, clap, clap' echoed in the room from one person. This person was walking into the stadium through a tunnel way, therefore being a shadow of the light coming in.

"Looks like you're still as smart as you were when I las saw you," came a womans voice from the shadow.

"So you finally came back." Kori called out, who stayed down in the arena.

"I finally got out. I was trapped in The Sand Storm."

'The Sand Storm? She was in Suna?' Temari thought.

"oh, I'm glad you got out." She finally made it into the stadium and stood next to Kakashi. She was a bit shorter than him. She was wearing a brown cloak with the hood up, concealing her identity.

'This chakra signature…familiar, too familiar.' He thought

"It's time…" The woman grabbed her hood

"As you wish," He said as she took down her hood, revealing a beautiful woman in her mid 30's, adorned with long streaky apple red hair with light blue eyes that looked exactly like Kori's. One could also see a lot of similar facial features between the two. "Kaa-san…"
