A/N: Well, here's the next chapter. This one is probably kind of boring. But it'll get more interesting!

The Chunin Exam Begins

When it was finally time for the exam to begin, Gaara, Kankuro, and I went to where the exam was to be held. We instantly saw the illusion of the door and walked on by while silently laughing at the people trying to get in. We walked into the exam room and saw a whole bunch of ninja there. "Wow." I said nervously. "I guess all these ninja are taking the exam too."

"So what?" Kankuro said. "We don't have anything to worry about." That still didn't ease my nerves as the three of us went over and sat down waiting for the exam to start.

Not too much longer, the doors opened and I looked up and saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. The three of them had the same expressions I did. Shock. They weren't expecting so many people either. Then six other leaf village ninja went over to them and they talked and stuff. A few minutes later a guy with white hair and glasses walked up to the 9 ninja and talked to them. I heard him say his name was Kabuto Yakushi. I didn't really pay attention to anything else. That is, until I heard him say Gaara's name. I focused my chakra to my ears and listened in on Kabuto-I had taught myself how to do this when I was younger. It sounded like he was surprised that Gaara had done 8 C-ranked missions and 1 B-ranked....And never gotten hurt once. Not even a scratch. I smirked. Of course Gaara's never been hurt. Not with his sand protecting him. After that I kind of blocked them out again. I didn't have time to worry about what others thought of my teammates. I was more worried about the exam itself. I knew it was hard, my brother told me about it before I came here. I sighed. 'I really hope we can do this....'

Suddenly Naruto yelled "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! And I'm gonna beat every one of ya! Believe it!" I giggled at his enthusiasm. "Yeah! That feels great! I feel a lot better now!" he said happily.

"Thats the same kid as before isn't it?" Kankuro said watching him now too.

Then the boy with the dog said sarcastically, "Uh, could you say that a little louder? I didn't quite catch it."

Then another boy with his hair in a ponytail said "You moron! Are you trying to get everyone in the place to hate our guts or what?"

Sakura then started to strangle Naruto and yell at him. Until she saw everyone glaring at them then she began acting all nice. It was then I saw the Sound ninjas move. Kankuro went to take crow off his back when Gaara put a hand in front of him to stop him. I watched as they attacked Kabuto.

Just then I heard a voice say, "Alright you baby-faced degenerates pipe down and listen up!" I looked over to the front of the room and saw a tough looking guy. Behind him stood a whole bunch of leaf ninja. "Its time to begin. I'm Ibiki Morino your proctor. And from this moment, your worst enemy." He yelled at the Sound ninja to stop fighting. He then explained about no fighting and everything. "Now, if we're ready, we'll proceed to the first stage of the Chunin Exam. Hand over your paperwork. In return you'll each be given a number." he said holding up a number. "This number determines where you will sit. We'll start the written test once you're all seated."

I groaned. 'Great. Written test....' It wasn't that I couldn't do it. I just hated taking tests. Everyone went up to the front and got a number. I got mine and went to my seat. I was sitting next to Sasuke and some other guy. "Good luck Sasuke." I said smiling at him.

"Yea you too." he said smirking at me. I couldn't help but blush. I had to admit, he was pretty hot.

Ibiki interrupted my thoughts when he explained about the test and that if we get caught cheating, our whole team fails. Then he told us about a 10th question that he would give us when there were 15 minutes left of the test. Then finally he said "Begin."


A/N: sorry again for the shortness. They'll eventually get longer. Anyway, reviews please!!!
