Chapter 8-A snake's interlude

(A/N I am only glossing over the written part)

In the classroom the Konoha teams were introduced to an adult genin named Kabuto, who then explained that he had done the exams enough times that he had acquired information on how they worked and of the contestants, this of course prompted Sasuke to ask, "Give me information on all the powerfullest people from each village?" expecting get himself as the strongest in Konoha, but that didn't happen as the most powerful new genin was: Naruto and the one who was the most powerful outright was: Hyuga Neji. Flawlessly executing the plan of pissing off the Uchiha and his master next body, in order to lure him to Oto; Kabuto listed off some of the skills (missing the info on the Rinnegan) for Naruto and Neji, as well as the missions performed by the latter (excusing the S-Rank missions), all while enjoying the red faced reaction of the Uchiha.

After that Ibiki showed up and the test was on, it had lasted 5 hours and during that time several students were caught cheating, due to their method of info gathering been incredibly obvious and down right dumb (Dojutsu's were used but weren't classed as cheating). After the 5 hours were up, Ibiki gave the final question, which resulted in the elimination 3 more teams, before Naruto spoke up and gave a heartening speech to embolden the others, which allowed them to pass.

Once the written test was finished, the Chunin hopefuls were introduced to the next Proctor: Mitarashi Anko, whom went on to moving them all to the Forest of Death and explained, "Okay gaki's, your task is simple: you just have to make it to the center of the forest, where there is a tower and along the way you need to the collect opposite scroll that you'll be issued (presenting two scrolls with the tampergraphs of: Heaven and Earth) because you will need both to pass," pausing to breath and allow the info to sink in before adding, "Now if you lose your assigned scroll you have not failed, but rather you now must collect both of them and then head for the tower," then finished by saying this test last for 5 days and that the land will provide food for you, but be careful.

The like a minute later, Naruto and Haku had been issued their scroll and gate, where they were now waiting for the start of the exams, which Naruto morphing into his Agent Venom form and Haku adjusting her senbon launcher, as after 15 minutes, Anko says, "Okay in 20 minutes the gates will open," over the speaker system. 1 minute and 50 seconds passed, and the genin teams were now getting frustrated, caused by how long it took to start and then the speaker sounds, "10 seconds left until go, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and Go!" as all gates open and admitted the ninja into the forrest. Within the forest, Naruto and Haku decided to use the method least resistance and just headed straight for the tower, so they could just ambush another team and enter the tower.

Traversing the trees one by one, Naruto swung via his webbing with Haku in his arms, as his swinging distance was longer than her jumping distance, before Naruto's spider senses went off, causing him to pause and jump back 1 tree as the original tree he had landed on had exploded in a hail of bark and wood chips. Once the wood storm was over, Naruto and Haku (whom Naruto had placed on her feet) were greeted by the snide comment of, "Well lucky us, we get to rid the world of another blasphemous Kekkei Genkai user and an Uzumaki as well, oh the Mizukage will rewards us with Jonin ranks for this," before lecturestly at Haku curvy form, before it turned to a sneer as Haku informs, "You are dealing with 2 Kekkei Genkai users, Hijutsu: Jōki hari," forming a single handed seal, making the moisture in the air condense and form small needles of ice, which shot forth and caused the now known Kiri shinobi to scatter.

But Naruto was far from idle, as when Haku fired off her jutsu, he conjured his Psionic energy sword and slashed at his opponent commanding, "Kokoro no kumo no dansu," which was when spiders of mental energy crawled out of the sword welded by Naruto, as the spiders approached their targets they grew in size the longer it took them to home in on the targets, until a relatively small sized spider finally latched onto a Kiri ninja and explodes, sending the ninja back into a tree and knocking him out. This set off a chain reaction that made the rest of the Kiri ninja's scatter more and the spider to grow more, after an hour, the Spider were now the size of cows, which was when they stopped running after their prey and just swiped their legs at them, hitting there target and blowing up taking the Kiri ninjas with them.

Once the last Kiri Ninja was finished, Naruto then went threw the property of the knocked out ninja, finding the scroll his team need and as well as extras, before retrieving Haku and resumed to swing for the central tower. While in another portion of the Forest, team 7 was against the walls, as they fought with an extremely flexible ninja whom had already taken down Sai (the third member of team 7 [I've gone over the last chapter but had references to whose on team 7 aside for Sasuke and Sakura]) before he had bit into the shoulder of Uchiha Sasuke, causing a Sharingan like mark to appear and made Sasuke pass out, it was then that flexible ninja decided to end Sakura, but could not as Anko the proctor showed up and drove him off.

(A.N. It was glossed over but this is Orochimaru, do you expect him to be slow in a fight?)

After Driving off Orochimaru, Anko and the team she arrived with transported them to the central tower, declaring that they passed, before sending them to bed. Earlier than when Team 7 arrived, team 11 descended from the treeline, with one final swing, unharmed and oddly refreshed, before headed inside and using their scrolls, they summoned their Sensei Zabusa, whom growled his congrats and sent to the mess hall for lunch, when Naruto's stomach growled.

As team 11 was eating, they began to notice other teams arriving, like the Kumo teams and the Suna Sibling with 2 other Suna teams, before they started to see the arrival of Iwa ninjas, and one particular Iwa group had a beautiful woman her teammates had identified as: Kurotsuchi. After team black earth arrived, it became apparent that none of the Konoha team will be arriving anytime soon, so they just joined the teams that were their in just a generalized social point of view.

The day then went to night and Konoha had yet to see a second passing team (aside from the stealthy arrival of Team 7), when it became time to knock off for the night and welcome the new day. The new day dawned with the sound of an argument that cut threw the entire tower waking all the sleeping teens, that weren't already up and as for the ones already you? Well they jumped out of their skins to the screech of a pink haired banshee, as she was told that her Sasuke-kun was not the first arriving Genin, but Naruto and Haku were.

The next few days continued as thusly, before Naruto was dived upon by: Yamanaka Ino, who had just arrived and passed with her team, the current Ino-Shika-Cho, as she affectionately cuddled up with him, much to the shock of her true team members: Nara Shikamaru and Akamichi Choji, but she ignored them and continued to cuddle him like a teddy bear. An hour later and they were joined by: team 8, where much to Kiba anger, Hinata then joined Ino in cuddling Naruto, whom kissed her and caused her to faint. After fainting, Hinata awoke later to find her head in Naruto lap and turned herself cherry red.
