CHAPTER 7


Konoha


After a few days Itachi's team came up to the gates of their village , previous sending that their were okay and coming back. They entered Konoha with greetings from the gatekeepers.

"Okay guys let's go report to the Hokage and then you will have 2 days for resting" said Itachi "and Naruto you owe me pocky" , our blond sighed . They walked a little bit a arrived at the office , they entered and saw the Sandaime looking at them.

"Hey old man thanks for the S-rank mission" said Naruto in a amused tone , the door suddenly close and turned their heads to see Mitoko and Tsunade smirking at them , now Naruto and even Itachi was scared.

"So S-rank mission was ?" said Tsunade in a sweet but dangerous voice , the Mitoko looked at Itachi "And you continued the mission because of the pocky" replied , the duo was trembling ."Before you kill them i will like to heard the report" asked the Sandaime.

Then Itachi stood in front and began to explain the tale , how they defeated the demon brothers, the encounter with Momochi and Aoi , Naruto explained his battle with Aoi and Itachi the ones with Zabuza.He explained also that Ino and Shika knew about the ninetails and they didn't mind.Then he proceed to tell the battle in the bridge , that Naruto wasn't there , Ino and Shika explained what they do againts the thugs and Haku.

Itachi finished the tale telling them that after he killed Zabuza , he saw Naruto mad using the fox power and killing the hunter nin with a Rasengan , then they name the bridge after him.

Sandaime , Tsunade and Mitoko were impressed and a bit worried , the slug sannin checked Ino and told her to rest.

"That's impressive , you earned some days resting , here's your pay for the upgrade mission" as he gave them the money. "Ah now i remember i brought back the sword" as he gave back the sword to Tsunade who smiled.

"So you learn new jutsus?" asked Mitoko , all nodded telling her what they learned then it was Naruto turn and said "i copied the Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Doppelganger Technique) , Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hiding Mist Technique) and the Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Missile Technique) and Itachi taught me the Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)" finished the blond

"You taugh him the Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion) what were you thinking" scolded Tsunade and Mitoko , then Itachi replied "Oh look at time , i have to go and Naruto remember the pocky" as he puffed away. "Traitor" muttered Naruto.

Then the womans glared at Naruto who was sweating hard "Someone else you want to tell us?" then Naruto opened his mouth "Actually" but he quickly shocked his head. Tsunade grabbed him from the collar and glared at him "Tell me or i'll make you suffer" , Ino and Shikamaru were scared.

"I improved one technique" stuttered Naruto , now that got the adults attention , "Ah you can leave already Ino , Shikamaru" , "See you later Naru-chan" said Ino , he waved back and said goodbyes to them.

"Now tell us what technique was" asked Tsunade , then Naruto quickly answered "It was the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Doppelganger Technique)" , Tsunade and Mitoko raised an eyebrow "the solid clones?" asked the Sandaime , Naruto nodded while being suspended in the air , Mitoko grabbed the Raijin and placed it on Naruto crotch , the woman smiled satisfied at Naruto horrified expresion "Now , now Naruto you can't lie to me , you know that already , i know you too well"

"Okay , okay let me go i tell" said Naruto in fear , they let him "Alright spill it Naruto" ordered Tsunade "I'll tell you if you promised not kill me" said Naruto , the adult eyes widened 'it can't that technique' , "If you don't tell us you will definitely die" threatened Mitoko.

"ItwastheRasengan" said Naruto quick , "Slowest this time Naruto" replied Tsunade , then Naruto sighed "the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)" , now the three gasped , but the womans quickly glared at him making him cover himself "What improvement Naruto?" , now his attitude changed to the bragging mode "It's a more powerful Rasengan , it's 4 times bigger than a normal one , i called it "Odama Rasengan (Great Ball Spiraling Sphere) , he takes a lot of chakra but the damage that do takes the cake" , suddenly he was knocked down to the ground by a punch courtesy of Tsunade , then Mitoko and Tsunade began to shake him , scolding him to create such a powerfull technique .

"Naruto i forbid you to use that technique" said Tsunade "What you can't do that" , then Tsunade replied "That technique could kill anyone , probably me too".

"I will not use on friends of course , only for enemies when i'm danger" exclaimed our blond , after arguing a little , Naruto won but pissing of the two womans with the help of the Sandaime. Then Naruto left to buy pocky and go home to rest.


Yamanaka shop

Ino arrived at home , and their parents rushed to her "You okay Ino i heard you went againts ninjas" , "Tsunade-sama checked me and said that i have to rest" replied Ino. "So can you tell us what happened" asked her mother , Ino nodded and told them all , their were proud of her daughter but didn't know that Naruto was that strong , he even knew his father technique , and finally they told what Shikamaru told her when Naruto thought that she die.

"You know about the nine-tails?" asked his father she nodded , that's a total bullshit that the villagers hated Naruto for such a little thing even if it wasn't the fox fault" , now their parents raised an eyebrow at that "what do you mean it wasn't the Kyuuby fault?" , then Ino replied "you don't know?" they shocked their heads "Itachi-sensei told us that was Orochimaru fault , he killed his kits forcing him to attack Konoha" , now they were stunned. After a while his mother asked

"So Naruto told you that he loved you when he thought you were dead " teased his mother , Ino nodded "But he don't have the guts to accept it" their parents laughed "Perhaps we can blackmail him" as they continued to talk.


Uchiha compound

Naruto walked into his house , he saw Sasuke outside training "Hey Sasuke" said our blond "Hey Naruto i heard what happened , nuke-nins , your lucky" replied Sasuke, Naruto smirked "I copied from Zabuza the Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Doppelganger Technique) , Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hiding Mist Technique) and the Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Missile Technique) , i'll show you them later so you can copy if you want i'm going to sleep , i'm tired" finished the blond , Sasuke nodded as he began to train another time.

After 2 hours Naruto was sleeping in his room , Mitoko and Tsunade returned home , Sasuke left with his team . Mitoko and Tsunade checked our blond room and saw him sleeping , they smiled and left to the dinning room to eat something.


Two days later

Itachi's team returned doing mission but D-rank lames ones , after they finished the last one of the day , Naruto and Ino were walking throught the village , they went to eat to the Ichirakus and the after that the pair continued walking to get to another part of the village then they heard

"Put me down" someone yelled 'it's Konohamaru' though Naruto

"Please put him down" another voice said 'Sakura' though Naruto , Ino

The duo rushed to see what happened , when they arrive at scene , Naruto eyes widened "Hey Kankoru , Tema-chan , how have you been" yelled Naruto , Ino eye twitched when they she hear 'Tema-chan'

The sand nins looked at him , Kankoru dropped the kid when he saw Naruto then he snapped out of the shock "Hey Naruto we've been fine , long time no see" replied the sand boy , Naruto smiled "Indeed" then he was quickly wrapped in a hug by Temari "Naru-chan I missed you so much" said the Temari , he returned the hug "Me too Tema-chan".

Then the duo sensed the killer intent that was coming from behind then they heard "So this is that Temari you talked us about Naru-chan?" said Ino , making Temari glared to her , then she looked at Naruto "Naru-chan who is she?" asked then Naruto replied "She's Ino-chan my friend and teammate".

Then the two began to glare to each other releasing killer intent , enough to scare Naruto and Kankoru "I never saw Ino-chan this furious" said Naruto "Neither I do with Temari" replied Kankoru.

Suddenly Naruto looked to a tree "Hey Gaara why are you hiding come out already" yelled the blond. Then Gaara appeared in a swirl of sand next to him . "Hello Gaara , how's the seal?" asked the blond

"Hello you too Naruto , the seal is perfect as always" , they began to talk meanwhile Ino and Temari continued with the glaring contest.

"Not that I'm complaining for but why are you here" asked Naruto , then Temari smiled at him "Naru-chan , we're here for the Chunnin exams" Ino greeted her teeth . "Listen Naruto there's something that the Hokage must now" then he whispered into the ear the invasion between Suna and the Sound , Naruto eyes widened and nodded.

"We must tell them" said Naruto "Well let's go , Baki is aware of that?" asked our blond , Gaara nodded "He's waiting for us to go there" , "Good let's go" said Naruto then he remembered Ino "Ino-chan I need to speak to the Hokage , I will tell you later" , then she replied "Why can I come?" , Naruto sighed "I tell you later don't worry , it's important" , Ino pouted but nodded , and turned around to see Sakura stared at them.


Hokage tower

Naruto and the sand team was in front of the door , Naruto just pushed the door "Hey old man" , the sand nins froze then the blond noticed his sensei "Hey Itachi what are those ? for the chunnin exams?" asked then Itachi replied "How did you know?" Naruto smirked and said "I have my ways , anyways old man remember the people I met in Suna , they are here for the chunnin exams too" pointing at them , Sarutobi nodded to them .

"Ero-sennin is in the village?" asked Naruto , Sarutobi nodded "Can you bring him and Baa-chan here? It's important" the old man raised an eyebrown but complied sending an ANBU .

"Your still called them those names" asked Temari "Of course" replied Naruto

After 20 minutes the two Sannin arrived , there were surprised and bowed to the sand nins who greeted back.

"Alright Naruto what do you want" asked Sarutobi then Tsunade interrupted "You mean it was the stupid brat idea to call us here" , the Hokage nodded but Naruto growled "Hey don't call me that old hag" (bad idea) then Tsunade punched him sending him to the wall "How many times I told you to don't call that" . The room sweat dropped .

"Well Gaara you can tell them" said Naruto as he got up "Hokage-sama the sound and the sand are planning on invading Konoha at the middle of the 3rd stage of the chunnin exams" the adults eyes widened "Your serious?" asked Tsunade , Baki nodded , then the jounin continued , he explained the current situation of the sand "but you see after what you done for Gaara the Kazekage disagree with the idea , he left us a letter , it seems the sound leader killed him and his impersonating him"

There was a few silence in the room "You see we planed that when the invasion happens , before that we alert of the real truth to them and we turn against the sound nin"

"You know the identity of the sound leader?" asked the Hokage

Baki nodded "It was in the letter , its… Orochimaru" , then the sannins and Naruto said at the same time "What the bastard another time" , the sand nins nodded "Though Orochimaru isn't aware of that we know".

Sandaime though for a bit "Okay this what are we going to do , we will act like this not has happened and we inform the others when the 2nds exams finish , don't kill any leaf nin" the sands nin nodded "There's something else , it seems Orochimaru have a spy on Konoha but we don't know is it" Sandaime nodded okay "You can leave"


2 days later chunnin exams

This was it. It was time for the chuunin exams. Genin teams from all countries would be here competing for the title of chuunin.

Team 7 entered the venue and made their way up the steps to the third floor, each of them having set their own goals in the exam. A commotion on the second floor stopped them from reaching their destination.

"This exam is tough. You should back out now when you have the chance." Naruto was not having any of this.

Stop scaring the contenders and drop that horrible genjutsu. We're still in the second floor." Angered that their fun was over, the two chuunin disguised as genin removed said genjutsu on the sign. Team 8 continued on until they reached the real third floor. Their jounin instructor Itachi had been waiting here for her team to arrive and told them to be careful.

Team 8 just looked on at the amount of shinobi taking the exam. There were a lot of them, mostly from Konoha. All the other shinobi villages were represented as well. Before they could examine the competition even further, a loud voice which sounded like Kiba's was heard around the room, announcing the arrival of his team. Kiba then looked around and saw the rest of the rookie nine in the room as well.

"Looks like everyone's here." The rest of the rookie nine just gathered on one spot of the room, talking about recent events. Along the way, Naruto spotted Gaara and his team.

Naruto smiled at Temari who saw this and smiled back , Ino noticed and glared at Temari as she twisted Naruto ear , he yelled in pain "What did i do" , then she glared at Temari , Naruto just sighed.

"Would all of you just do everyone a favor and shut the hell up?" A silver haired ninja walked towards the group, clearly irritated by the group's discussions.

"And who would you be?" Kiba was the one to ask this question. He was already annoyed that this man interrupted their group talk.

"Yakushi Kabuto. All of you need to look around." When the rookie nine did so, they felt the killing intent coming from the other teams.

"What are you rookies doing here anyway? This exam isn't a field trip." Asked Kabuto , then Naruto noticed something strange about him , he smelled like snakes.

"Kabuto-san, you seem to know a lot about this exam. Is this your second time?"

"It's my seventh, actually. Being here for a long time has gathered me quite a lot of information to study." Kabuto then pulled out a deck of shinobi info cards. "These cards show a ninja's talents and missions. Why don't you try them out?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow , Sasuke decided to step up, wanting to know what to expect from the other contenders. "Do you have any information on Gaara of the sand and Uzumaki Naruto?"

"You know their names already? That makes it easier." Kabuto pulled out a card from the deck and pushed chakra into it. "Sabaku no Gaara, genin from the sand. Chakra levels are quite high for a genin. He has been on 20 D-rank missions, 8 C-rank missions, and a B-rank mission. Impressive, not many genins get assigned anything above C. Other things to know about him are that he has returned from every mission without a scratch." Taking another card and pushing chakra into it like before, he read the details on the other ninja in question

Using shunshin, he appeared next to Kabuto and took the shinobi info card away from his hands making gasp the Rookies and Kabuto , then he read the card and his eyes widened and looked at Kabuto

"You know to much Kabuto , no mere genin could have that information , plus your smell like snakes , you wouldn't hide something isn't that right Kabuto-san?" said Naruto burning the card with an small katon.

A tall grass ninja overheard the conversation and smirked ( YEAH I'M EVIL )

Kabuto was about to reply but a rough voice was heard by everyone in the room.

Ibiki and his entourage of chuunin explained the rules to the participating genin. When everything was crystal clear to the genin, Ibiki motioned them to enter the examination room. Seats were assigned at random for everyone. As soon as everyone was seated, the chuunin handed out the questionnaires and started the first exam.

Naruto saw Sasuke using his sharingan to copy and blinked 'oh shit we're supposed to cheat' he activate his sharingan a did the same , Hinata was using his Byakugan , after a while Ino used his mind jutsu to copy the answer from Sakura who just finished the exam. Gaara used his sand to copy.

"Number 20, you're out of here! 36 and 78, you're gone too." One of them was stupid enough to blatantly look at his seatmate's paper. One of Ibiki's chuunins didn't wait for him to cheat 4 more times. He was so obvious that there was no way he would avoid getting caught again anyway.

After 45 minutes had passed, Ibiki then announced to the room that it was time for the tenth and final question. Everyone stopped what they were doing to pay attention.

"Alright, this is how the last question will go. Before I give you the questions, I will give you the chance to back out and leave right now." This confused the genin in the room. Temari decided to speak up.

"Why would we want to leave? This is our chance to become chuunin!" Ibiki just smirked and answered her question.

"Because if you decide to take this question and get it wrong, you will never become a chuunin. You will remain a genin for the rest of your shinobi career." Most of the genin just panicked at hearing this. Some were having doubts about their capabilities. A person just stood up and left, which forced the rest of his team to leave as well. A few seconds later, another team left, clearly not willing to risk it. Other teams were leaving by the minute.

Then Naruto slammed his hands on the desk and began to tell he I'm not giving up and Hokage speech that I'm not going to even write.

The rest of the genin regained their confidence after hearing that. Nobody was leaving the room after Naruto had spoke up. After 5 minutes had passed, Ibiki decided to end the test. 'Interesting brat' though

Since nobody wants to leave, I'll give out the last question now. For the rest of you remaining… All of you pass the first exam." The remaining genin except for Naruto just looked at him in total disbelief. Before any of them could say anything, the window shattered and a woman wearing a trenchcoat appeared.

"I'm the proctor for the second exam. The name's Mitarashi Anko." She took a quick count of the remaining participants. "78… Ibiki, you let 26 teams pass? You're getting soft."

"There are a lot of good ones this year." This made Anko smirk. She would have more fun with the next test.

"Don't worry; I'll cut them in half with the next exam." Most of the remaining genin just gulped. A lot of people were going to fail the next exam for sure.


As Ibiki grabbed the paper test , he noticed that there was a note on Naruto's paper 'Ibiki you have tell the Hokage , Yakushi Kabuto is probably an spy , he smell likes snakes and have cards that gives information from nins , he knows too much things about me , things that he didn't have to know' Ibiki smiled to himself and went to the Hokage.
