So in other words its gonna start getting completely original finally. Furthermore, I will putting up the new chapter today, just need to make the last few finishing touch ups and its ready.
Disclaimer: Owning Naruto IS NOT something I do. Naruto being the manga/anime owned by Kishimoto Masashi et cetera . . .

Chapter 9
- - - - - - - - - - -
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke stood just within the entrance to room 301 of the ninja academy. The three just stood there.
All three of them were speechless, the room was filled with many ninja who seemed to be well into teen years. Some even appeared to be in their 20s even 30s.
"What is all this?" asked Naruto, "They aren't all here for the Chuunin exams are they?"
"Of course they are idiot. Why else would they be here other than to participate in the test? Oh Sasuke I didn't know you were going to be here." came a voice from behind.
It was Ino.
"What are you doing here Ino pig?!" shouted Sakura pointing a finger in her general direction. "Sheesh and I thought this exam was gonna be easy but now that I have to look at your face I don't think it will be."
"Oh don't you get me started Sakura!!" exclaimed Ino, and the two continued to argue ignored by the others.
"Sheesh, I didn't know you guys were gonna be here too. What a drag. " said Shikamaru as he walked toward the group with Chouji in toe who as usual was eating chips.
"Hey Shikamaru, what's up? I haven't seen you since the genin exam." asked Naruto as he walked over to the lethargic ninja.
"That doesn't surprise me you can't see ten feet in front of you" shouted a voice from behind. It was Kiba.
"Oh look its dog breathe. What are you doing here I thought you were scheduled for a flea bath?" returned Naruto. Taking a step forward challenging Kiba.
"Why I was about to say the same for you, I can't believe your father lets you go without bathing for so long. What has it been a month since your last shower? It sure smells like it." exclaimed Kiba as he stepped up to the challenge. The two were about to start fighting when someone interrupted.
Naruto had barely heard the voice. "Um, Naruto-kun I didn't know you were going to be here? . . . It's nice to see you again." It was Hinata looking away from Naruto.
"Hey Hinata. What are you doing here? Oh that's right your on Kiba's team. I almost didn't notice you standing in the back the way you are." said Naruto before returning to his argument with Kiba.

"So that's the Uchiha kid he's interested in" said a man standing by a man with silver hair and glasses.
"Yes him and the Namikaze kid are the two he's interested in. It's convenient they're on the same team so they're easier to target." said the four-eyed haired man.
"Yeah Kabuto you get all the fun. We just have to get through the exam." said the third of the group.
"Well I should go." said the Kabuto as he walked away toward the nine genin.

Naruto and Kiba had finally stopped exchanging fighting words when Sakura threatened to kill Naruto in his sleep if he didn't shut up. Naruto knew she was serious and immediately stopped but not without a final comment from Kiba about being a sissy for being afraid of Sakura.
The group had split back up into their respective teams.
"So you're the Yondaime's son, Naruto Namikaze." said a voice from behind Naruto. The three Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke turned to find out who it was this time. It was a man with spectacles and silver hair maybe in his early 20s.
"Who are you and what do you want with Naruto?" demanded Sasuke.
The man continued to walk toward the group. "Oh, nothing just figured I'd come over and scope out the competition. It's not just Naruto it's also you I'm interested in Sasuke?"
"You still haven't answered my first question who are you?"
"I'm Kabuto a genin of Konoha, like you three." explained the man, Kabuto.
Before Sasuke could start again Naruto jumped in front and grabbed Kabuto's hand and began shaking it, "Hi I'm Naruto as you already know but does it really matter who my father is I'm going to surpass him one day so."
"Those are mighty big words for someone so young your father is the strongest ninja here in Konohagakure. I could offer you some information in exchange for a little bit about yourselves." returned Kabuto.
"Well we don't want to hear it. Get out of here." shouted Naruto at Kabuto.
"Fine if that's what you want." said Kabuto before he calmly walked away into the crowd of genin.
"Naruto why did you chase him off he may have had useful information for us! Why are you always have to get so touchy when people talk about how great your father is?!" yelled Sakura at Naruto once Kabuto was gone.
"It's not that Sakura it just that everyone calls me just his loser son. I can and will surpass my father one day! To do that I have to pass this exam. No matter who get in my way." said Naruto to Sakura before looking over to Sasuke. They glared at each other for a few seconds and turned their heads.
Sakura saw this and was annoyed. "Come on you two were going to have to work together to get through this exam."
"But Sakura I am willing to work together its mister loner over there I can't handle. He can never do anything as a team. He even ignores you, Sakura. He refuses to acknowledge your feelings. How can you put up with him?"
Before Sakura could speak a man appeared at the front of the room and started speaking. "Quiet down you worthless scum!"
There was a brief silence.
"Thanks for waiting. I am Ibiki Morino, the examiner for the chuunin selection exams first test. Now would be a good time to say this. There will be no fighting without the permission of the examiner. Even if permission is granted, the killing of your opponent will not be tolerated. Those that do not obey will be disqualified immediately. Do I make myself clear?" He paused for a second. Waiting for any comments. "Good. We will now begin the first test of the exam. Instead of your current seating arrangements you are all to come forward and pick one of these tabs," the man gestured to a pile of papers with numbers written on them. " and report to your assigned seat. We will then hand out the exams."
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke just stood there taking in the orders. But then it hit Naruto. "Wait so this is a written exam?" asked Naruto to Sakura and Sasuke. They both nodded. Naruto's head dropped in disgust.
'Stupid Hokage-baka you know I hate written exams' thought Naruto to himself.
'I'm doomed' thought Naruto to himself as he took his seat
