Helloooo! :DD

I'm really excited for this chapter, why? Because I want to see Kabuto puke! BWAHAHAHAH! Joke! I just really like this chapter!

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR THE SONGS! :D

"Yo!" -Speaking

"Yo!" -Thinking

"Yo!"-Inner Saku


Unexpected Second Chance

Kabuto and Ibiki Morino


-Team 7-

"GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS! I'm glad you guys came here as a team!" Kakashi-sensei said happily.

"Wait, hold up. What do you mean as a TEAM? Didn't you say that it's our choice to join or not?" Naruto said accusingly.

"Well…might have forgotten to tell you that the Chunin Exams can only be taken in teams..." Kakashi-sensei said, scratching his head.

"Pshh. Forgotten...as if..." Sakura muttered glaring up at Kakashi-sensei.

"Anyway, I'm so proud of you guys! You didn't just conveniently forget about teamwork!" Kakashi-sensei said, clapping.

"Wait, what do you mean conveni-"

"Now off you go! Don't want you guys to be late on your first time!" Kakashi-sensei said, cutting off Naruto and shoo-ing them off.

"What are we? A bunch of kids?" They all thought glaring at Kakashi-sensei before walking through the door.

Once inside Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura found themselves among many Chunin exam participants. Upon spotting Sasuke arrive, Ino runs up to Sasuke and hugged him from behind.

"SASUKE-KUN! YOU MADE IT!" Ino yelled happily while Sasuke glared, annoyed, at her.

"Ino can you stop yelling? So troublesome..." Shikamaru said while muttering the last part.

"Shikamaru-san..." Shikamaru moved his head to the left to come face-to-face with Sakura. Shikamaru eyes widen a bit and a TINY blush formed on his cheeks before he nodded at her and looked away muttering,

"Sakura-san..."

{-Click!-}

"Hey guys! Welcome to Narupedia! It's Naruto Uzamaki, dattebayo! I will be introducing you to the team that just arrived!" A chibi Naruto said, a microphone in hand.

"First up with we have Shikamaru Nara!"

A picture of Shikamaru sleeping popped out behind him.

"This guy is such a lazy ass and complains a lot! Especially if it involves missions, training, and shopping. He rather watches clouds than train but despite being a lazy ass, this guy has an IQ of over 200! Genius, right!? And let's not forget his favorite word: Troublesome!"

Then a picture of Chouji eating chips popped out.

"Next up we have Chouji Akimichi! This guy is ALWAYS eating his chips! As in you NEVER see him without it unless it's a mission! Hell, even sometimes in missions. This guy is fat but if you mention that to him and you're as good as dead. He prefers the word "Big Boned."

Then a picture of Ino trying to pop a pimple popped out.

"And last but not least we have Ino Yamanaka! This girl is SERIOSULY dangerous if you get on her bad side. Well, all girls are like that but she is just…the worst. Well, second to Sakura-chan. She has her family jutsu, The Mind Transfer Jutsu. She is also a major fan of Sasuke. All three of them make up Team Asuma!" Naruto said smiling.

"That is all for now! Thank you for watching the Narupedia!" Naruto grinned, holding up a peace sign.

"Naruto, what are you doing?! It's not your turn to introduce people yet!" A chibi Tsunade shouted tackling Naruto to the ground.

{-Click!-}

"Would you get off me, already!?" Sasuke hissed, trying to get away from Ino.

"Aww, you don't have to pretend you hate me, Sasuke-kun!"

"That's not pretending!" Sakura laughed as Ino tried to hold Sasuke's hand. Naruto and Sasuke stared at Sakura. This was the first time they heard her laugh this loud. Naruto began to grin. I think I like this Chunin Exam. It's showing us a different Sakura-chan…

"N-naruto-k-kun..." Hinata stuttered, lowly staring at the orange clad boy. A brown-haired boy and a hooded boy stood beside her.

{-Click!-}

"Yo! Kakashi Hatake here. This time, it will be I who will be introducing this team." A chibi Kakashi said smiling at the camera.

A picture of Kiba with his puppy Akamaru showed up.

"First up, Kiba Inukuza! This guy acts like the leader of the team and is part of the Inukuza clan thus is why he carries a puppy around everywhere. His puppy's name is Akamaru. Kiba treats him like he is a real person and is VERY close with him. He's a good example of 'A man's best friend'"

Then a picture of Hinata popped out.

"Then we have Hinata Hyuuga. Heiress of the Hyuuga clan but is very shy and gentle, nothing like a Hyuuga should act and that's why her father doesn't respect her that much. She has a MAJOR crush on Naruto and yet it seems he just can't seem to notice."

A picture of Shino holding a bug

"And we have Shino Aburame. No one really knows what he looks like since he always wear this HUGE cloak and glasses. He is part of the Aburame clan and specializes in bugs. He only attacks using one thing. Those deadly creatures society now call bugs. Other than that people find him mysterious and weird."

"Well, that's all. We, once again, thank you for watching Narupedia!" Kakashi-sensei said smiling behind his mask.

{-Click!-}

"Naruto, I'll be over there. So don't freak out when you can't find me." Sakura said to Naruto pointing at the wall beside the window.

"Hai Sakura-chan!" Naruto said happily. Sakura nodded, walking to a window. Leaning on the wall, Sakura positioned her body so she could see outside the window.

"You know, you guys should really keep it down and be careful." A voice sounded behind them. Sakura's eyes snapped to look at the ninja at the corner of her eyes as she slightly tilted her head forward.

"Who are you?" Ino said looking at him suspiciously.

"Oh, excuse my rudeness. I am Kabuto Yakushi. This is my seventh time-!"

"She only asked who you are. Not how many times you have been taking the exam." Sakura said firmly, her body still in the same position but head now facing the side to slightly glare at Kabuto.

"Heh...it's that girl from before..." Kankuro said looking at the pink-haired girl.

"The aura around her became more intimidating..." Gaara thought, crossing his arms together.

"Hahah, right. My mistake..." Kabuto said his eyes narrowing slightly at Sakura. He didn't catch the slight warning glance Sakura threw Naruto and Sasuke, who immediately tensed slightly and nodded. They knew –yes, I'm talking about Naruto too- better than to go against Sakura's warning glances.

"What do you mean we should be careful?" Sasuke said, looking at Kabuto.

"The Chunin Exams can cause rookies to angst over how difficult the exam is and judging by how everyone is looking at you guys, you made some quit a lot of enemies." Kabuto chuckled but Sasuke continued to stare at him. Kabuto cursed in his mind. It's seems that dear Sasuke-kun has developed such a suspicious personality…

Kabuto then pulls out a deck of cards out of his pocket.

"These cards help me gather information about other participants, all I have to do is tune them with chakra and the person I want information about will appear."

As if to show them an example, Kabuto tuned some chakra in them and soon an image of the exam's total examinees and country participants appeared.

"Teams from other countries come here to take the exam to deepen their friendship with the village and to heighten the level of the ninjas. But I think that the real purpose is to confirm the level of the ninja in each adjacent country and try to balance the power. They do this to check and restrain each country's power."

"Do you have information on the other candidates?" Sasuke asked looking at the cards. Sasuke gave a semi-reassuring glance to Sakura, who was staring at him. Sakura slightly nodded before letting this happen go.

"I might..." Kabuto said smirking. Got you…

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the cards.

"Gaara of the Hidden Sand and Rock Lee from Konoha."

"Oh? You know their names already..." Kabuto said before putting some chakra to the card and soon a picture of Lee came up.

"He seems to be a year older than you guys. Mission experience: 11 C ranks and 20 D ranks. His squad leader his Might Guy and in the last twelve months his taijutsu improve tremendously! But his other skills are not so good. Last year, he had a lot of potential for a genin but for some reason he chose not to participate in the Chunin. Teamates are Ten-Ten and Neji Hyuuga." Hinata faltered a bit when she heard the name.

"Okay, now for Gaara of the Hidden Sand." the card spun a bit before stopping and the information about Gaara appeared.

"Mission experience: 8 C ranks, no D ranks and 1 B rank. There's not much any information about him but get this, he survived every mission without getting a scratch on him." Kabuto said fixing his glasses.

"The dude survived a B rank...without a single scratch!" Shikamaru muttered surprised. Kabuto was about to put away his cards when Sasuke stepped up.

"Wait...I want to ask about one more person..." Sasuke said a hard look on his face.

"Oh..? And who is it?" Kabuto wondered. Sasuke glanced at Sakura hesitantly before muttering,

"Sakura Haruno."

"What?! Sasuke." Naruto hissed in surprise and warning. In fact, all of the rookies and Kabuto was looking at Sasuke surprised.

"His team mate?" Kabuto thought before getting another card and putting chakra in it.

"Let's see…Mission experience: 3 A rank, 1 B rank and 34 D ranks. It doesn't show her skills except that she specializes in making and dispelling genjutsu. She has perfect chakra control and her team leader is Kakashi Hatake and team mates Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzamaki." Kabuto said looking up at the two boys and was surprised to see their faces shocked staring at the mission experience.

"Why are they so shocked? They probably have the same information..." Kabuto thought looking at them weirdly.

"But...How...We never..." Naruto said turning his shocked eyes to Sakura. Sakura-chan…?

"Hey, man. Are you alright?" Kiba asked worried. Sasuke clenched his fist tightly. He knew it. He knew that Sakura was someone different but to do 3 A ranks!? She wasn't even a Chunin yet. This card has to be wrong.

"We…never did an A rank before...let alone 3..." Sasuke gritted out.

"W-what..?" Ino said looking at Sakura.

"There are so noisy...why don't we show them some manners?" A girl who was wearing a sound head band said glancing at her two team mates.

"Yeah…why don't we?" A guy whose face was bandaged except for his right eye said.

They suddenly disappeared, zooming towards Kabuto. Kankuro, who saw them, was slowly pulling out Crow but was stopped by Gaara's hand. One of the sound genin threw two kunais at Kabuto, who immediately dodge by moving back when suddenly the guy whose face was bandaged appeared before him and was sending his hand towards Kabuto's face. Kabuto quickly dodged the fist by moving his head back.

"His good...he can rival my speed..." Sasuke thought looking at the fight. Kabuto smirked before his glasses broke. Kabuto's eyes widened, falling to a knee and vomited.

"Hey Kabuto, are you all right?" Naruto and Ino said running towards him.

"I'm…fine." Kabuto said coughing a bit before looking up and glaring at the guy.

"Hand on, I saw it! He dodged the attack! How did that happen?" Sasuke said looking at Kabuto.

"Must've been closer than it look. Che! Troublesome..." Shikamaru said.

Gaara stared at Kabuto before his eyes wondered to Sakura and was surprised to see dark amusement swimming in her eyes.

"She knows how that guy did it...and she finds it funny that the guy got hit? Does she have a grudge on him or something?"Gaara thought narrowing his eyes at the pink-haired girl.

"Lee..." Neji said looking at their taijutsu specialist.

"There was more to it than speed...some kind of trick," Lee said taking the hint.

POOF!

"All right, you little shit! Pipe down and listen up! It is time to begin. I am Ibiki Morino, your first examiner and from this moment, your worst nightmare." Ibiki said, smirking darkly at them.

Gulp.

"Scary..." Sakura thought, looking at Ibiki blankly.


I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as well :) There isn't really humor in this chapter though :/

Why did Shikamaru blush when he saw Sakura?
