Chapter 11
Chuunin Exams
Naruto, Haku, and Tenten looked at the school where the first part of the Chuunin Exams would be located. Their overall skills were now about high Chuunin, which them all almost knowing everything the others knew. This was thanks to a mental links that they had found between all of them. It was strongest between them and Naruto while between the other three as long as they were within about 200 feet of each other they could hear each other thoughts. This let them work on everything that Danzo had set to teaching them and then some as well.
There Taijustu was low Chuunin because of the new style they were working on that would better fit their new bodies. It used their claw like feet and hands and bladed tail to cause slashing and piercing damage to their opponents. But the style was not complete yet, since they were still working on making it. It was also heavy offences since the only real defense they had was to dodge, this was because they would not block but rather claw their opponent hands or feet instead. The last thing they were planning on adding to the style was kenjustu with duel short swords, but they had barely started on this yet so it was barely genin level.
Their stealth was good before, but now it was almost off the charts thanks to the training they had got from Danzo. Their Ninjustu and Genjustu both sat about high Genin, but the ones they knew were almost all defensive since their skill over all went towards offense over all otherwise. They had not touched on much else since they found seal would melt slowly with time since their charka had taken on an acid like nature. But of the other hand this gave anything with interrogation an added bonus as they could cause people a ton of pain just by putting charka into them.
They had also found some things out about their new bodies in the last 4 months. The first was only Naruto could lay the eggs that changed them. The second was that no one had their period anymore because of the first reason. The third thing was that if Naruto wanted to she could stop the making of the eggs. This was found out after Naruto had a talk with Kyuubi about it.
Anko showed up breaking them out of the new Team Seven thoughts. They all looked at her, like them she was wearing a black cloak with seal keep them from getting to hot or cold and also a seal keeping it from being able to be destroyed by their acid blood. Underneath this was a black body suit that hugged their every curve but with a seal to keep it from being destroyed by the acid. This was done in case they did get cut to keep them from ending up naked which had happened a time or two before they got the seal and clothes right. The other reason for the clothing changes were because without some form fitting or very loss clothing. The clothes would fight against them and inhibit the use of their tails, or would be destroyed as they fought if not made correctly.
"Hello sister I see you're all here nice and early," Anko said with a smile at them. The sister comment was because of the fact over the last few moment they had become closer together why training.
"Yes, then again you did not give us much of a choice then morning," Haku said letting an out a light hiss at Anko as she spoke in anger.
"Oh come now it was only water and ice," Anko said with a grin that seemed to match Naruto most scary pranking grins.
"I HAVE A BLOOD LINE THAT HELPS ME TO NOT FEEL COLD AND I WAS STILL COLD," yelled Haku glaring at Anko!
"Detail," Anko said waving her hand dismissively, while both Naruto and Tenten shook their heads wonder if these two would every get along much outside battle. "Now I have just got the mission from the Third Hokage for you three while you are taking the Chuunin exams."
"Okay," Naruto said.
"It is simple but important mission really. We have found recently that there is an old shrine in the forest that contains a scroll. Now know this scroll is a summon scroll that we found mention in the old part of the Hokage's Library. We want you to find it and bring it to the tower at the center of the training ground 44 while in the second part of the exams. And he felt that our team would be a good team to have it from what he could find out about it from the scroll, but he could not find out what the summon-creature was. So your job is to find the scroll sign it and summon what it contains and see if the summonses are willing to work with us," Anko said explaining the mission.
The group was silent looking at each other at this test mission for them to prove they could be worthy of being a team. At first glance it did not look like much just a simple mission, but if one looked closer they could see that it would give this team more power than some Anbu team by having a summon. And if the team was split up then that could ruin the agreement summon if the summon-creatures did not like the team being broken up. That could possibly make the summon chose to not let their summoner bring them out because of two or more people trying to bring out one of them at the same time.
Naruto spoke up, "So why does he think that we retrieve the scroll and not someone else?"
"Well the original mission was to keep an eye on the sand team, but upon find out about this scroll he felt this would be a better mission. Also you will be paid for a B ranked mission since you cannot let anyone know about looking for this scroll, or what it can summon unless it is a life or death position or the boss requires a familiar." Anko said explaining that reason too.
"Sounds like fun where is this scroll," wondered Tenten?
"We believe it of in the north east section of the forest, but that is still a lot of area to cover," Anko said.
"Well that makes it hard alright, well if you don't count Naruto the one women army," Haku said.
"Even then girls it will still be hard we all know that and I cannot help you at all," Anko said before hugging each of them in turn, "Now be careful you three and make sure to kick everyone else out of the exam if you can."
"Will do Sis," they all said before heading into the school. Anko could only smile as they entered into the school; they and with her had become a true team. Though they were not as strong as Danzo had wanted, they were still strong then most teams out there.
Naruto teams went up the stairs, noticing as they passed the second floor room two Chuunin were setting up a genjustu over the second floor door. They passed by not worrying about it and moved up to the third floor and entered into the room, noticing there was no one around at all. This meant not only they were early but they would be sitting around until the Tester came let alone the other examines showed up.
They then sat down and waited talking quietly to each other noticing not long after a few Chuunin showed up and all the sensei's off the leaf village with still genin teams. The only Jonin that did not show up that had Genin teams they noticed Kakashi. Though this made sense since as Kakashi only had one student and he could not partake in the exams without a team. But Guy being there made them wonder since they all knew how Sakura was, and very much doubted that she would be ready for these exams. That was until Kakashi showed up as well making them all wonder what was really going on.
Naruto, Haku and Tenten walked over as Naruto spoke up, "Hay Kakashi and Guy sensei what are you doing here?"
"Ahh Naruto it is nice to see you again," Kakashi said giving them an eye smile, "As for why we are here it is the same reason all the other Sensei's are here."
"But how Kakashi you only have one student," wondered Tenten?
"Very good question Tenten my once youthful student. Sakura has quit being a ninja, and instead works now in the hospital a youthful idea for one like her. She could not stand up to the true youthful training one must deal with if one is to be a true ninja," Guy said explain part of the reason.
"And so the Hokage gave Sasuke to Guy as his student and kept me on as second sensei. This is mostly because only I have any true knowledge of how to use the Sharingan. Though in all honestly I would rather leave the kid to Guy here and go back to Anbu," Kakashi stated.
"Now my hip friend you need to learn the finer points of being a Sensei," Guy said shaking his head.
"Maybe later I will, either way how are you 3 doing," ask Kakashi wondering?
"We are doing good and now doing a lot better team. We got training from some of the best and now are going to prove our team is truly worth keeping around," Naruto said knowing those that could be told and those that could not be told about the mission they were on.
"Oh so will your team be a lasting team or spilt apart after you become Chuunin," asked Kakashi?
"Staying together because of our… uh abilities," Naruto said noticing some people coming up the stairs only to stop and stare at Naruto's team for a second before continuing on into the room. "Well it looks like we should be heading in now Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei we will be seeing you around then."
With that Naruto and her team went back into the room but caught what Guy said next to them as they left, "Watch out for Sasuke since he joined my team he has got become very arrogant."
Naruto, Tenten, and Haku all nodded as they entered into the room and stood in a corn a little in the shadows as they watched teams slowly enter. There were teams from the Rain, Mist, Leaf, Rock, Lighting, Sand, and Sound village. Even the worse enemies had shown up like normal but the teams sent were stronger than the average Genin as to make sure they could make it through the Exams. While it was not also commonly know the Leaf village was considered the hardest place to take the Chuunin Exam. This was because of the large number of teams they could put in themselves, but that did not even compare the first and second parts of the exams. The first part in which they fast a world renowned interrogator, then the second part was in a place even season Jonin from different nations feared at times.
Haku looked around the room her tail along with the rest of her team was hidden under their trench coats when she heard Naruto's name mentioned. Looking over she noticed a 3 teams of leaf Genin talking to an older Leaf genin who had some cards and seemed to be reading off information. Deciding to see what was going on she moved a close enough to hear what was going on.
"Well that is all I have on Gaara and Lee," the Genin with gray hair and glasses said.
"But what about Naruto," another Genin asked that Haku recognized as Sasuke.
"I have nothing on him," replied the glasses wearing Genin.
"As this might help then Naruto is not a he anymore unlike my fellow Genin believe, Naruto is now actually female," Sasuke said.
"Okay I will look some more," the genin replied back before another card came out of the deck he was hold. "This might be what you are looking for but I am afraid the information is very bad at best. It says here Naruto Uzumaki is part of team 7 with Teammates Haku and Tenten. Their skills are over all unknown and the only know thing is all of the team have a tail and have large Charka reserves. That is all I have nothing on them at all, and it almost seems that you could tell me more then what I have here on my cards. Would I be right because there is a side note here that states you and one Sakura Haruno were once her teammates?"
"Yes we once were but after Naruto change to a female we lost contact and if I face off against her I need to make sure I can put her in place below me," Sasuke said in a voice that almost sounded like he was a king.
At this Haku walked slowly up speaking as she did so, "You almost make it sound like you have the power to do that."
One of the genin looked over at her he had a puppy setting in his hood and one his head. "I have the power to do that, Sasuke could kick his…"
"She, idiot Naruto is now female," Sasuke said correcting a little bit.
"Fine Her butt without thinking, I bet she is weaker than ever before. Just like most girls that I know she is weak or not weaker than before," the genin with a puppy on his head said getting a glare from most if not all girls in the room that heard him.
Haku glared at him before rolling her eyes, "You better hope that you don't face Naruto now, because if she heard that she will neuter you."
"I doubt she could," Kiba said only to feel a blade to meet another girls eyes like Haku's that promised him pain if he continued.
"I would keep your mouth shut Kiba before I shut if for you," Naruto said coming over her cloak shifting a tiny bit around her as she walked.
"Oh and why is that," asked Kiba glaring at Naruto not knowing who she was.
"Oh yes only Sasuke, Lee and Neji would know who I am. I forgot, but here let me clear that up. I am Naruto Uzumaki and these are my teammates Haku, and Tenten do well not to cross our path."
Everyone even those that Naruto had named were shocked though Neji and Lee were not as much having been told a little of what had happened. Each one of them was thinking different things. Shikamaru was scared now since Naruto was troublesome with his pranks from before but now, he did not want to think of it. Choji did not really care, but thought Naruto looked kinda cute actually. Ino was staring at Naruto in shock wondering was what had because the changes also noticing that Naruto hair style did not hit her current look
Sasuke was just wanted to know what justu Naruto now likely knew, since he had found out Naruto was getting private training. As for Lee and Neji they were both a little happy to see their teammate again. Kiba on the other hand was not sure what to think, but kinda wanted to see what Naruto now looked like under those cloaks. Shino was carefully looked between the 3 girls that made of Naruto's team trying to figure them out. While Hinata was looking at Naruto with almost sad eyes wondering how her once hidden friend was feeling.
But before anyone could say anything further there was a large blast of smoke and 20 Chuunin appeared along with a Jonin. The Jonin looked around the class room and said with a voice that seemed to sink fear into them just from the sound of it. "I am Ibiki Morino the Head of Torture and Interrogation and for today I am your first Examiner."
