2 days later they arrive at the gates by this time Sasuke had awoken from his near death state, Naruto had awoken the next morning after they departed to Konoha and had been a little gloomy since then. "Oi, Dobe what the hell is with you?"

Naruto frowned "I've had a massive fucking migraine for the past 24 hours, as if you actually cared"

"Hah, sucks to be you then doesn't it?" that earned him a smack to the back of the head by Sakura, and a slap from Sakura was like a punch to the face now, Naruto stifled a laugh when Sasuke face planted right in front of the two chuunin guards. One of the guards laughed at Sasukes misfortune "Hah, it seems you shouldn't insult the Pinkettes' friend"

"Right well, what are you guys returning from, and who are those two behind you? The one with the bandages and the girl"

"We're returning from a mission in Wave country and those two are here to try and join the village" Kakashi said

"Oh you guys are coming back from wave? Did you guys here or see anything about that Gigantic fire ball a few days ago?" the guard asked

"You guys heard about that?" Kakashi asked

"Heard about? Hell we saw it the whole village did, it lit up the damn sky orange, do you guys know what caused it?"

Naruto chuckled, "Oops, I didn't mean for that to happen, I can't believe you guys saw it all the way here in Konoha"

"Wait, what? You caused that thing!?"

"Heh, like I said it was an accident, it's not like a planned for the whole area to burst into flames, how could have I have guessed that the air was flammable?"

"Kami, I'm never letting you play with fire Naruto" the second guard said while laughing

"Right, well can we pass now? We have to report on our mission to the Hokage" Kakashi asked

"Right, yeah you guys can pass, just go straight to the Hokage with those two though, that bandaged one looks familiar"

"Feh, I should I'm Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist"

The guards gasped and took up defensive stances "I knew it! What the hell do you want with this village Zabuza!"

"Damn, it's like Kakashi said, me and my apprentice are here to join Konoha, I made a deal with the brat there, he held up his end, now I have to do my end"

"Yeah, bullshit like you made a deal with Naruto, now why are you here?"

"God damn it! The kid beat me in a fight now I have to join your village, shit ask Kakashi"

"Kakashi, is this true, is he really here to join us?"

"As far as I know he is, you would have to ask Naruto the specific's it's his deal after all"

"Right…well let them pass for now, but keep and eye on them Kakashi, If they go rogue and start killing people it's your ass"

"Yeah, yeah, come on guys let's go see old man Hokage while I'm still 12"

20 minutes later, are group of misfits is standing in front of the Hokage

"Ahh there you all are, I was wondering when you would get back from wave, I take it everything went well? I'll have my secretary get your pay for the mission" Sarutobi said

"I would wait a second on that Hokage-sama, The rank of the mission needs to be changed from C-rank, therefore the pay should be changed as well"

"Really now, what rank does it need to be changed to Kakashi?"

"A-rank sir"

Sarutobi's eyes widened "and just why does it need to be changed to an A-rank Kakashi?"

"Well, these two" Kakashi said while pointing a thumb at Zabuza "Were hired by the crime lord Gato to kill the bridge builder…and us"

"So, why the hell are hey in my office then Kakashi?" Sarutobi said while standing up

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold it right there Hokage-sama, they are here because of me, I made a deal with Zabuza that if I did a favor for him he and his apprentice would come and join the leaf village as our Shinobi"

"And just what did you have to do for your end of the deal Naruto?" Sarutobi asked

"Oh, nothing much just kill off the 150 Thugs and mercs that were going to kill Zabuza and his apprentice, then take care of Gato for him. Really, I think I got the better half of the deal, I got to have fun, and strengthen the village" Naruto said while chuckling

"Umm, right so Zabuza, what is your apprentices name?"

"My name is Haku, sir"

"Right, Zabuza, Haku do you both swear to protect this village with your lives and to never harm another Konoha Shinobi or villager?"

"I swear on my honor as one of the seven swordsman of the mist that I will protect this village"

"And I will follow Zabuza-sama to the ends of the earth and beyond" Haku added

"Very well, I will enstate you two as Shinobi of Konoha then, I will Enlist you Zabuza as a Jounin, and you Haku as a chuunin"

"Sounds good, do you have anything for us to do right now then Hokage-sama? If not me and Haku should go check out the village and try to find a place to stay"

"That is a good idea, and no I don't have anything for you at this time, You two are dismissed"

Haku and Zabuza then bowed and left the office to go check out the village Sarutobi then turned and looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi I have a question to ask you, since your team seemed to have done so well on this mission, I have to ask, would you like to enlist your team for the Chuunin exams that are to take place soon?"

"Hai, I would Hokage-sama, I feel Sakura and Sasuke are both ready to become Chuunin, and Naruto is already strong enough to be a Jounin, if not more" Naruto beamed at that statement while Sasuke looked right pissed

"Right, your team shall be added to the roster for the exams then, they begin in 2 days so get ready" Sarutobi stated

"2 days? Damn I haven't even been a genin for a year and I'm already gonna be a chuunin? I'll be Hokage in no time at this rate!" Naruto yelled

"Right, you and your team are dismissed then Kakashi, good luck in the exams"

"Hai, and thank you lord Hokage" Kakashi said while bowing "I'm sure they will do great in the exams"

The 4 of them left the office and went their separate ways to get ready for the exams, Naruto headed off to buy more Chakra drainage seals like Kyuubi told him too, but on the way over to the shop he passed by an alley, down the alley there was some kid dressed in black, with a black hood lifting a small kid by his head, the guy sure was strange, he had purple face paint on.

Behind him was a girl with blonde hair tied back into four separate pony tails. Naruto recognized the kid being harassed as the Hokage's grandson and figured he better stop it, so he walked up the the kid and black and said "I would put the child down if you know what's good for you" Kankuro looked at him and sneered and said

"What the hell you gonna do about it? This kid disrespected me, I'm gonna show him how to respect his elders, then I'm kick your ass for interfering" Naruto just laughed, then grabbed Kankuro's forearm and started to crush it in his grip,

"As if some weak trash could ever beat me, You should know when your outclassed Punk" Naruto then unleashed a wave of killing intent that could make Orochimaru wince,

"Now let the kid down if you would like to keep your limbs attached to your body"

Naruto let down the killing intent and Kankuro dropped konohamaru and stumbled backwards, Just then a red headed kid with a gourd on his back appeared on a tree branch and said, Kankuro you're a disgrace to our village, if you ever do something that stupid again, I'll kill you" Kankuro Visably stiffened then turned his head towards the voice "G-gaara when did you get here? This kid was just being an ass I was gonna show him a good time" Gaara stared straight at him

"Go home Kankuro before you make me kill you, you too Temari" Naruto sniffed the air

'Hey Kyuubi, why does that kid smell like a raccoon?'

'Ahh, he must be the container of the Ichibi, Shukaku' 'Ahh cool, time to have some fun'

"So, Shukaku, we finally meet, it seems you keep your family on a short leash" all three of them stiffened and turned to look at him, Gaara said, "You, how do you know of that?"

Naruto scoffed, "Please, you wreak of raccoon, I could smell that weak little demon from a mile away"

Gaara glared at him "Just what do you know of demons?"

Naruto grinned "More then trash like you ever will. I know you three are from Suna, you must be here for the Chuunin exams then"

"Yes, yes we are"

Naruto laughed manically "Great! I'll see you there!"

Kankuro and Temari stiffened, 'This kid is going to be in the exam? It looked like he even had Gaara scared!'

"Lets go" Gaara said, the three of them walked off

Konohamaru looked up to Naruto. "Thanks boss you saved my skin!"

"Heh, it's no problem kid, those kids needed to learn something about manners"

"Hey, teach me some things so I can kick peoples asses too!"

"No"

"What? Don't you know who I am?"

"I know exactly who you are, you're the brat child of the Hokage who gets everything he wants"

"Exactly, now I demand you to teach me!"

"Heh, get out of here kid, I don't care who you are, you earn your respect from me, I don't hand things to anyone for free"

"Wow, I like you boss, you're the only person who's ever treated me like a normal person, you're cool!"

"Eh, whatever kid, I've got to go, and sorry I don't have anything to teach, I only know a few techniques, and I can't teach them to others, they are all Forbidden"

"Your entire arsenal is forbidden jutsu's? that's awesome!"

"Yeah, I suppose anyway I got to go, I have important crap to get done today, I'll see you around"

Naruto, then turned and left towards his original destination of the shinobi supply shop he arrived and walked in the door and was greeted by the old man as usual.

"Ahh Naruto! It's good to see you again! Hey, come here I want you to meet someone"

"Eh? Really, umm ok"

He brought Naruto into the back to the forge where he makes his more valuable tools, there halfway sticking out of the forge was an ass, a shapely ass that was connected to two toned, long legs. "Naruto, I'd like you to meet my daughter, Ten-Ten"

Said, 'Ten-Ten' squeaked in the forge and pulled herself out really fast, smacking her head on the forge, "Shit! That hurt!" Ten-Ten said while standing up, she happened to be covered in soot and ash from the waist up "Daaaad! Why the hell would you introduce me to someone looking like this!?"

"Haha, Sorry honey, I just wanted to introduce you to an old friend of mine, he's been coming here since he was 6, and you've never been on duty when he stopped in before"

"You see Naruto, Ten-Ten here is a ninja like you, in fact she's partaking in the chunnin exams in a couple days"

"Oh, are you now Ten-Ten, it's a pleasure to meet you, but I hope I don't come across you, I'd hate to have to hurt a women"

"Nani? Your in the Chuunin Exams Naruto? Didn't you just become a genin recently?"

"Yep, just about a month ago now" Naruto said

"Umm, Naruto I know I don't know you or anything but I doubt your ready if your that knew to being a ninja, my sensei held my team back a year because we weren't ready yet, he wanted us to at least make our first kill before we went" Ten-Ten said

"Well, that might be a slight problem for my teammates but not me, I've killed many times already, my first kill was the night I became a genin, then just recently I killed over 100 Thugs and mercenaries on an A-rank mission the other day…"

"Hold it right there, You've been on an A-ran mission?"

"Well, it started out as a C-rank, but we got attacked by two chuunin early on, then later we got attacked by a jounin, then we got attacked again by another Jounin and Chuunin, then we got attacked by about 150 thugs and mercs at the end of all that"

"Damn, and you guys didn't die?"

"Heh, Just because my rank is genin does not mean I'm your every day run of the mill person, I'm about mid to high Jounin in strength According to my Sensei and the Hokage"

"How the hell are you that strong, Your only 12!?"

"Heh, I've been training since I was 6, and I have other…advantages"

"Advantages, like what? What could be a big enough advantage that you are mid-high jounin?"

"I'd rather not say right now, suffice to say, if I have my way, the whole village may know about it by the end of the exam"

"Oh yeah, old man, I was wondering do you have more of those Chakra strain seals? I need some more"

"Sure Naruto, can I ask what happened to you old ones?"

"Huh? Nothing I have them on right now, But even with all of them at the highest level sensei says it's not enough enough, so he told me to go buy more"

"You're wearing the Chakra strain seals, at the highest level, and it's not enough? Can I ask what level your wearing the Gravity seals at now? Last time I asked you were up to level 4, but that was when you were 7, Im sure you've went up a few levels at least since then"

"Yeah, A few levels…just a couple I have my Gravity seals set at level 30 right now, but I have a feeling sensei is going to up it again next time we have a while to train"

"Naruto, that's bullshit and you know it, my sensei only has his Gravity seals set to level 15, and he's the strongest person in the village" Ten-Ten said

Naruto pulled back his sleeve and showed the seal, sure as shit there is was with the Number 30 plain as day. "Hate to break it to you Ten-Ten, but I've been the physically strongest person in the village for about 2 years now"

Ten-Ten gasped when she saw the seals "Just what the hell are you Naruto!?"

"Sorry Ten-Ten, I'm not allowed to tell people unless I can really trust them it's a SS-class secret, and I don't know you well enough to tell you yet"

Ten-Ten huffed, "Fine, but I intend to find out sooner or later"

"I'm sure you will too Ten-Ten, I just hope you don't hate me like the rest of the village when you find out"

Naruto then paid for his new Chakra strain seals and walked towards the door, right when he got to the door he turned around and said "I'll see you later old man, and I guess I'll see you at the Chuunin exams Ten-Ten" he then turned back around and walked out the door and out into the now darker streets and headed home.

The next day was spent relaxing and preparing for the exams, and now It is the morning of the Chuunin exams, Naruto and his team are heading into the Academy for the first test of the exam. While heading for the stairs they bump into Ten-Tens team "Oh hey, Ten-Ten I didn't expect to see you this early on" Then Lee barged in on his conversation "Yosh! Sasuke Uchiha! I demand a spare with you right now! You are reported to be the strongest genin from this years rookies!"

Sakura giggled "Excuse me for interrupting your most youthful laughterm but may I know what I said that was so funny?"

"Oh, not much but it's funny that you still believe that, I was the rookie of the year when we graduated, and I don't even come close to Naruto-kuns power, I imagine Naruto-kun could beat Sasuke with even touching him" Sasuke scowled but didn't comment, because he knew she was right no matter how pissed it made him, He decided to take a shot while he could though "Sakura, Naruto doesn't need you boasting all over the place about his power, after all he does it enough on his own whenever someone gives him the chance"

"Yosh! Naruto, I challenge you to a youthful spar then!"

"Umm no thanks, I'd be happy to kick your ass but I don't want to reveal my abilities just yet, surely you understand...uh what did you say your name was again?"

"How unyouthful of me! I am Rock Lee, student of green beast Maito Gai, strongest man in Konoha!"

"Ahh, Ten-Ten, he really is your teammate, I hate to burst your bubble Lee, but Maito Gai isn't the strongest man in Konoha any longer, infact he hasn't held that title for about 2 years now, Gai has his gravity seals set to level 15 correct?"

"No, Gai-sensei has recently set his seals to level 20, you see he still is the strongest man in Konoha!"

Naruto Grinned, "Sorry Lee but he still isn't the strongest, there is a being in Konoha that has his Gravity seals set to level 30"

Lee gasped, "Level 30? who is this titan of a man? I must congratulate him on being so youthful to have surpassed my sensei!"

"I'll give you a hint Lee, You've met him before, In fact you just met him for the first time very recently"

Ten-Ten frowned, "Naruto just show him the damn things already, stop dragging it out"

"Your a kill joy, you know that Ten-Ten? There's no harm in making him think a little"

"Ten-Ten, what is it that you want Naruto-san to show me?"

Naruto huffed and started rolling up his sleeves and said "Boy, Lee you really are a bit slow some times, the being in Konoha that is stronger then your sensei, that person is me Lee"

Everyone except Naruto's team and Ten-Ten started laughing, then Lee said "You, stronger then Gai-sensei? I'm sorry Naruto, you may be strong but you are not that strong"

"Hmm, really now?" Naruto then flicked his wrists over to show the 2 seals with the brightly glowing '30' in the center of them everyone in the room, except Naruto's team and Ten-Ten gasped

"Naruto-san, how have you gained so much strength to have surpassed my sensei in strength! Your a mere youthful 12!"

"Well, I've done it through a whole lot of training, and a curse on my soul of sorts"

Sasuke then decided to make himself into the center of attention, "feh, If the Dobe isn't going to fight you then I'll gladly kick your ass Lee"

"Yosh! I will test myself against the Uchiha and his Sharingan!"

5 minutes later, in a Dojo of the Academy Lee and Sasuke are standing off about to fight

Naruto walked up in between them, "Alright you guys, in this fight no offensive jutsu's are allowed, that goes especially for you Sasuke, if you so much as start the hand seals for the goukakyuu in this fight and try to kill him like you did with me in the Academy, I. Will. Break. Your. Hands. Are we clear?"

Both 'contestants' nodded, "Well alright then give us a good show then! BEGIN!"

Sasuke activated his Sharingan instantly and charged forward towards Lee, right as he was about to meet with Lee, Lee disappeared and reappeared "Konoha Senpu!" he kicked sasuke hard in the stomach forcing the air from his lungs, he then disappeared again, this time he reappeared below Sasuke though, and kicked him in the jaw high up into the air, Lee then followed him up into the Air and came up behind him, "It does not matter if your Sharingan can see me, if your mind and body cannot keep up Uchiha" he then unraveled his wrappings on his arms and they started wrapping around Sasuke, right as they were about to go taut a large Tortoise appeared and yelled, "Stop!" Lee instantly stopped and landed on the ground in a crouch and started re-wrapping the bandages on his arms. The tortoise then spoke up again "Lee! What were you thinking! Using that technique on someone in a youthful spar! Gai will be most disappointed in you" Right as he finished his sentence a bigger Lee popped into existence next to the tortoise, "He is right Lee, what were you thinking of using it against a fellow Shinobi? You know the rules for when to use that move Lee, Are you ready to accept the consequences?" "Yes Gai-sensei, I am ready" Gai then reared back and let loose a powerful punch towards Lee's face and just before it was about to connect Naruto appeared next to Lee and stopped Gai's punch with his hand, "Gai-san, I realize that Lee is your student and that he broke your rule but if I may, these are the Chuunin exams and he will need every bit of strength he has to pass, If you feel the need to hit anyone, hit me I organized and started the fight"

"That is most youthful of you young man, who are you?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki"

"Ahh Naruto! I have heard much about you! Your the blond prodigy that my rival is sensei of!, Your the only man I've ever met who is stronger then me you know"

"Well thanks Gai-san but we both know why I am so strong, or atleast if word has gotten round through the sensei's yet..."

"Word has not gotten through the Shinobi populous yet it would seem would you care to tell me why you are so strong?"

"All I can say is that it is an SS-class secret, though that should give you an idea as to what", Gai's eyes widened at the mention of a Double 'S' class secret

"Ahh so that has something to do with it then? Well it is most youthful of you to utilize that curse in such a way"

"Well Naruto-san, I will let Lee off this time since you were so youthful about it good luck in the exams everyone, Yosh!"

Everyone over their shock of Naruto talking to a jounin like he was nothing gathered back into their teams and headed upstairs, they got to the next floor up when they came across all the other genin, at the front of the group were two genin that looked very familiar to Naruto, so he sniffed the air and then it clicked, he walked up to the two and said, go back to guarding the front gate of Konoha you two, you have no purpose here, or do I have to report you for abandoning your posts during such an important time as the Chuunin exams?"

"How did you know who we are Naruto?"

"Your scent, I noticed you two the second I walked up the stairs, also, before you leave remove the stupid genjutsu, I know we aren't on the third floor"

"Damn, you even noticed the genjutsu huh? You're no fun Naruto, now all the weaklings that didn't notice it get to go in"

"Life sucks, if they are as bad as you think then they wont pass the first exam"

"Right, see you later Naruto, and don't kill to many people, I'm still doing paperwork for those two bastards you brought back from your last mission" with that they dispelled their henge's and the genjutsu on the hallway revealing them to only be on the second floor, not the third. Everyone in the room was only thinking one thing though, what the hell did he do on his last missions?"

Everyone then went up to the third floor and went into the exam room for the first exam, when they stepped in the room all eyes in the room were on them. Dozens of vicious looking ninja's glared daggers at the cheery bunch that just walked in, then some guy in purple with glasses and silver hair walked up to them, "Hi, my name's Kabuto, I'm a bit of a veteran around here, I take it you guys are the 'Rookie 12' then?"

Naruto smirked "What's it to you?"

Kabuto smiled "Oh, nothing just I know a little bit about everyone around here and I thought maybe I'd share a little with you, but if your gonna be so rude then"

Lee and Naruto both yelled "Wait!" then Naruto asked "What kind of Information?"

"Glad you asked, you see I have these cards I have here, I have data on just about every ninja in here, even you guys"

"How does it work?" asked Sasuke

"Pretty simply actually, I just channel some chakra into the card and it reveals the info on the person I'm think of, why do you guys have anyone in mind?"

Sasuke and Lee both said "Naruto Uzumaki"

"You know his name? Thats no fun, very well here it is, he put his middle finger on a card and spun it on the floor, then popped up a bunch of info, and a picture of Naruto. "Lets see here, it's says that he specializes in taijutsu and Ninjutsu, he has an incredibly high amount of chakra, It also says that about a week ago a C-rank mission he was on was upgraded to A-rank, and he Defeated the infamous 'Zabuza Momochi, The Demon of the Hidden Mist' an A-rank nukenin, without getting so much as a scratch on himself, later that day he went on to slaughter over 100 thugs and mercenaries. It also says that he isn't human, He is in fact a-"

Naruto grabbed Kabuto by the throat and slammed him into the wall and Growled while releasing an ungodly amount of Killing intent "Where. Did. You. Learn. That. Information."

Kabuto choked "I -wheeze- heard someone talking about it at a bar -wheeze-"

Naruto dropped Kabuto "Shit I didn't want word to get around this fast!"

Sakura grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and shook him "Naruto-kun, calm down! It's not the end of the world!"

Hinata decided to speak up at this point "Umm, Naruto-kun is this about that thing you made the whole Academy take a blood oath on to never speak of?"

He sighed, "Yes Hinata-chan it is, and that's all I'm saying to anyone about this!"

Just then the doors at the front of the room slammed open and a man with a scared up face came in, he had a black trench coat and a black cloth over the top of his head (Some how I don't think they had Bandannas or do-rags in Naruto) he walked up in front of the room and yelled, "All right you punks my name is Ibiki Morino and I'm the instructor of the first exam! For the next 2 hours you are all mine"
