(Start scene)

Naruto just shifted his gaze between his teammates at the girl they were shocked too see. She was a couple of inches taller then Katara with black hair that had two bangs on either side of her face and a little bun on the top of her head held by a red ribbon. (Don't know any other way to describe it) she wore a red outfit that was loose enough to hide her figure but didn't restrict her movements with a ninja headband with what looked like and hourglass around her waist like a belt. Her amber eyes widen in surprise at seeing Katara and Suki. "Impossible, you can't be here." She said softly.

Katara glared back at her, "The same can be said about you, Azula."

Azula, former princess of the fire nation, quickly regained her composers and addressed them again, "I don't know how you got to this time but it won't make a difference to me. My team will be the ones passing the chunin exams."

Katara gritted her teeth, "How did you even get to this time anyway?"

"So she's from the past too I take it?" asked Shikamaru catching this important bit of information for them.

"Yeah, she's from our time. She was the princess of the fire nation and our enemy." Suki said her hand ready to pull out her fan incase Azula started attacking.

Azula just smirked, "I'm glad that you remember me, as for how I got here; if you make it past the second exam I might tell you. Should give you something to look forward too." And with that she turned and went back towards her teammates.

Suki just snorted, "Even here she still is full of herself." Then she remembered what brought Azula attention to them. "How do you even know her Naruto?"

Naruto just put his hand in front of him defensively, "Hey, I only met her yesterday. Look it like this; after our team meeting I went and met Iruka sensei and we caught up."

(Flash back)

"I got to say, that is a heck of a story Naruto. I'm glad none of yous got hurt throughout that mission." Iruka said walking next to his favorite student and little brother figure.

Naruto nodded he hands behind his head. "Yeah, I'm glad Katara was alright. It really scared me when it looked like Haku killed her. (Sigh) Though from what Kakashi sensei told me about the hidden mist when Zabuza was there it sounded nothing like from what Katara told me what the water tribes were like."

Iruka had a passive look on his face. It was true the water tribe became the land of water and the village hidden in the mist. From the days when Zabuza and the other swordsmen of the bloody mist were strong were some of the bloodiest ever. He hoped Katara never find out of this.

It was then did Iruka and Naruto notice a cardboard box made to look like a rock. Too bad it had eye holes showing and still had it square shape. They stop and addressed the box. "You need a lot of work, Konohamaru."

A small voice was heard. "You saw through our disguise boss." And thr4 box was lifted up and smoke shot out. Three different coughs was heard and when the smoke clear three kids, one girl and two boys all wearing blue goggles on their foreheads, were seen. Konohamaru introduce his friends and class mates at the academy.

"So you are apart of Iruka sensei's class now, I wish you guys luck. So what did you guys need."

Konohamaru got an annoyed look on his face, "You promise that you would play ninja with use boss."

It took Naruto a moment to remember that he did promise them. After saying is goodbye to Iruka, he passed an old scroll to the three academy students. "Alright you guy all you have to do it keep that scroll safe and away from me. My job it to get it back from yous. Got it?"

The three students nodded and then took off. Naruto just shook his head and jumped after them. He stayed at a slow pace to give his "targets" time to get ahead when he heard the sound of Konohamaru shouting ahead. He sped up to see Konohamaru on the ground as if he was push over. His friends were behind him while looking at the two girls in front of them. One was blonde with her hair tied in four short spiky ponytails, a large folded fan tied behind her. The other dark hair that had two bangs on either side of her face. She had her amber eye on Konohamaru. "You should be more careful who you run into; they might not take it likely."

Naruto moved in front of the kids his hand on his sword ready to draw it at any moment. "It was an accident; beside I doubt a little kid bumping into you could even hurt you."

The girl gazed over Naruto as if trying to guess his power. After twenty seconds she just smirked and replied. "I'm only saying other aren't as forgiving as I am."

Naruto relax a little and let go of his sword but body was still tense ready to move if needed. "So what are some ninja from the hidden sand village doing here? Are you on a mission or…?" he let the question hang waiting for an answer.

He wasn't disappointed as the second girl answered. "Relax we aren't here on a mission but for the chunin exams."

Naruto relax knowing there was no need for a fight. He knew if they start one, especially with the grandson of the third Hokage, they most likely wouldn't be aloud into the exam. "I wish your team luck, but don't cause any trouble. Wouldn't want yous to get kick out before the exam start."

"No…we can't have that." Someone said a dry voice. Naruto turn toward the tree behind the fence they were by. There standing upside down on one of the tree branches stood a boy about Naruto's age. He had red hair with a symbol of love tattoo on his forehead, wore a sand headband on his sash that held a giant gourd on his back.

Azula looked annoyed as he moved from the tree to in front of them in a swirl of sand. "How long have you been there, Gaara?"

"Long enough," he then turns to Naruto, "My apologies for any trouble my teammates have cause you."

The three sand ninja started to leave when Naruto called out to them. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki; I most will see yous at the exams. May I have your names?"

Gaara gazed at Naruto as if judging his strength. "I'm Gaara of the desert, this is Azula and Temari. You seem strong Naruto, I'll enjoy fighting you." After that the team continues on their way they were out of sight.

(End flashback)

"That's it I swear. I didn't even know about her being from your time period." Naruto said as he finished.

The door opened behind them and team seven entered. Sasuke looked as though he was on the losing end of a fight as he looked roughed up and a bruise was forming on his cheek. Kiba laughed, "What happen Sasuke, is the rookie of the years losing his touch?"

Sasuke just growled at Kiba and told him to shut up. Then a voice behind them called out to them. "You guys must be these years' rookies; you're drawing too much attention to yourselves."

A tall teen wearing a purple outfit round glasses with silver hair addressed them. After adjusting his glasses with his finger he added, "You'll make enemies before the exams even start."

Naruto just snorted, "We already each other competition what does it matter if we make more or not. Beside what's it to you?"

The teen just smiled, "I remember be a rookie once, I taken these exams at least seven times counting this one and I wish I at least had help for when I got started. Also some of these ninja aren't very friendly and are kind of short tempered." He then pulled out a pack of blank cards. "The name is Kabuto and since I'm a nice guy and I know what it was like taking the exam for the first time I'll give you some info. These cards here have data stored into them hidden by my charka. All ninja on file here and any where else I have their stats, any takers?"

After a minute of thinking Sasuke said, "Yeah, a leaf ninja name Rock Lee."

"Do you have information on a girl name Azula? I think she is on a team with the sand village, in fact tell use about the whole team." Suki said, not wanting anymore surprises from Azula.

"You know their name and village eh, well that's no fun?" before he pulled a card from the deck and place it on the floor. He added chakra and the card was full of information including number of missions, teammates and a chart of states. The boys picture showed a boy slightly older then them wearing a green jumpsuit a bowl cut and thick eye brows.

"Rock Lee is a year older then you guys but this is his first time at the exams. His mission history is 20 completed D-rank missions and 12 completed C-rank missions. His Taijutsu improved greatly over the year training everything else, not so much."

He then pulled out three more cards and showed them the info on Azula, Gaara and Temari. "Azula, no know last name, and her team, Gaara of the desert and his sister Temari of the desert have completed 8 C-rank and 1 B-rank mission. The only info I have on them is that Azula might have a bloodline that can control fire and that Gaara has back from every mission without a scratch on him or his teammates."

Everyone was quite taking all of this in. they all knew that team was dangerous. Kabuto put the cards away and said, "Many hidden villages sent their best to complete the chunin exam I have data on most of the competition. Only the Village Hidden in Sound just started last years but they aren't much of a treat."

Naruto just grinned, "Looks like we have our work cut for use eh girls?" he asked looking at his teammates. Both nodded Katara more nervous then Suki but was confident with their team.

Just then movement rush at Kabuto as a girl with a headband with a music note on it, threw several kunai at him. Kabuto jumped back to avoid them. Another music note wearing ninja rush him and swung his arm which had a strange gantlet with hole on it at him. Kabuto slid back to avoid it and the ninja didn't follow.

Suddenly Kabuto's glasses broke before he hunched over and emptied his stomach. The other just stared confused, it seemed like Kabuto completely dodge that attack. The last member of the sound team spoke up. "Put that in your stupid cards; the sound village will rule these exams."

Naruto stepped forward his hand on his sword, "You seem pretty confident, how about attacking someone who ready and willing to fight back?"

Before they could respond a loud voice filled the room "NO MORE FIGHT OR YOU WILL FIND YOURSELVES OUT OF THE EXAMS!"

A large amount of smoke poofed behind them and there stood a tall man wearing a long black trench coat and a headband shape like a bandana on his head. He hand a few scars on his face and a glare that could cut ice. Behind him were several other ninja, some carrying clipboards. "Listen up you maggots! I'm in charge here, and what I say goes. Have a problem with that? Then leave and don't come back. The first exam, the written test, is starting now!"

Naruto paled at this, 'Written test?'

One of the ninja behind the proctor held up several papers and a nasty grin on his face. Naruto just gulped 'I'm so screwed.'
