Sage's Inheritance
Exams Begin
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Previously on Sage's Inheritance,
Before anyone can speak, Kakashi appeared again. "Remember the exams start this afternoon. Late and you will forfeit passage and have to wait for two more years." Kakashi then dispelled into smoke meaning that he sent a shadow clone because he was already occupied and was not allowed leaving early.
Team Seven went into the stadium after successfully entering the Chunin Exams, only to see that one team was already there begging at a pair of genin to let them into a door that labeled 301; the room where genin are supposed to be once the Exams actually start. Naruto smiled at the sole female on the group as with Sakura who rushed and hugged the girl with hair buns revealing to be Tenten; over the week as a mates to the same man, the girls got close to each other like sisters that each are in a separate team. Tenten smiled and hugged Sakura before Naruto walked to her and kissed her on the lips shortly.
The others looked at the sight with mixed reactions; the one with huge eyebrows was screaming something like 'Flames of Youth', the one with white eyes like Hinata's was sneering, Sasuke scoffed and turned away as if to tell he isn't interested in romance, the guard pair looked each other and nodded; Naruto dating the four girls from the Academy wasn't a secret from the ones Naruto actually trusts. Actually, the ninja were glad that Naruto got rid of the mess called an outraged Civilian Council by bringing the 'Professor' back into action.
Back to the present, the boy with white eyes put on a look of indifference, "It is sick that the heiress to three clans and a girl who can't do more than throw knives around is attached to the dead last." After the stupid speech, Naruto looked to his girls,
"Girls: Anti-Jerk Technique." Those words put a creepy smile on the kunoichis' faces as they walked towards the boy and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. The boys, even Naruto, couldn't stop themselves from twitching for least as the white-eyed bastard fell to the ground.
Sasuke thought he was diffusing the situation by saying, "Oi drop the stupid Genjutsu at once, I have to get to the third floor" When those words were said, Naruto, his girls, and the real ninjas all groaned internally.
Naruto then hit Sasuke on the back of his head, "Way to go Teme, now we have three times the amount of competition then necessary thanks to your loose lips. Our enemies love loose lips."
"I don't want weak rivals! I need to prove to the entire world that I am the only one worthy of Chunin status!" Sasuke said in complete cockiness and idiocy that gave everyone a headache as they stop what they are doing and walked to the real third floor leaving Sasuke confused; he was the last Uchiha! He deserved the best respect! I can't believe I am saying this!
When Naruto and his two girls, who are holding each of his arms, got to a room that looked like a training arena of sort; it was long until a voice yelled.
"Halt there!" The three genin looked up to see the same boy with huge eyebrows and shining teeth was standing on railing on a catwalk. Tenten groaned that Naruto and Sakura caught,
"It's Lee again and he is going to double the number of eyes looking at us like on every mission." The weapon mistress knew her loud teammate too well and so did Sakura and Naruto of some sort since they often share their adventures and troubles on dates or hanging out. The former placed a comforting hand on Tenten's shoulder while the latter kissed her quickly but with passion on her cheek that made her giggle at the tickling sensation and affection that her mate never fails to show her.
"Is your name Sasuke Uchiha!?" Lee spoke to break the ice and speak of why he created all the unnecessary attention. Naruto and his mates just shrugged and continued but the black haired emo refused to back down from a challenge.
"I am and you are?" Sasuke replied politely; after the quick spar after the mission ended, Naruto managed to kick out a chuck of his team mate's arrogance out of his head but the lust to prove himself to powerful foes was stuck like glue, it was no use.
"I am the beautiful green beast of Konoha! Rock Lee!" The boy with the big eyebrows then smiled with a tingle that nearly blinded everyone. Naruto knew about Lee from his mate who is the latter's teammate; if Sasuke fought, it will waste time and spell more trouble.
"Sasuke, we have no time for this! We have to move on or our teams are both disqualified!" Naruto yelled to help his teammate see reality but he already heard the challenger call him a prodigy and they hit off but not before Naruto moved to each of them and drew a thousand markings into a single seal on the back of their necks in a single second and then rejoining his mates.
"Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked worried and confused; worried if it is something bad and confused at her mate's actions against the boys.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan and Tenten-chan, I will know if the jerks had their fun and I will see to that they will be present for the sake of your team, girls." Naruto assured them in a warm smile and comforting tone that did the trick as the girls got comfy in their mate's arms and walked with him to the entrance to the real room.
When the three entered the intended room, they were bombarded by KI but to them, it was more like a toddler having a fit since they all shared real KI before on missions. They just found a place to settle until Naruto was tackled by a blond blur.
"I missed you Naruto-kun!" It turned out to be Ino as she had to be separate from her mate to be with her team. No one was offended as Naruto hugged his mate back and everyone smiled at the scene. It was the fact that a boy covered in burses and scaring with another boy with no injuries appeared out of nowhere. They both were confused about it, everyone else was shocked, and the girls who knew Naruto had a good idea while the blond in question just chuckled at the faces of everyone available.
"What did I tell you? It was a waste of time and a huge dent into your pride huh Sasuke?" Naruto taunted the black haired emo who just scoffed which even that was difficult with the pain coursing through his body.
"Naruto-kun!" Naruto turned to see his fourth mate, Hinata embracing him much like how Ino did.
"Hey Dobe!" Now that was a voice that got Hinata stiffen which Naruto noticed and for good reason in his eyes; it belonged to Hinata's teammate, Kiba Inuzuka. He was part of the reason why Hinata had a dreadful time waiting for the team sex ritual. You see, this brash boy with his dog partner had eyes full of lust on Hinata ever since she started puberty; he began to dream that he would force the girl to have his kids in order to prove that he is 'The Alpha Male' around, even more than Sasuke.
"Yeah dog boy?" (I didn't say it before as it would be random but instead of Naruto stealing Sasuke's first kiss, it was Kiba back in the Academy days; this caused the girls to start attacking Kiba for making 'their Sasuke-kun' look like he is gay.)
"I don't know why Hinata isn't pregnant yet but if you cause her to have your kids, I would break you and them apart!" Kiba was the one really looking forward to the team sex as he hoped to have the longest turn and make Hinata pregnant but with Naruto absent, no one could see the mate mark that erased the experience mentally and physically and that made Kiba outraged that his only chance was ruined since Hinata was already taken. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't know how to watch the words that come out of his mouth as his petty speech caused the girls and boys scowl at him even his other male teammate shown signs of disgust for Kiba's obsession for a girl that isn't even interested in him.
"Troublesome. I don't know how you are expecting to score points with Hinata if you keep losing them." Now that was a tone that only a Konoha ninja would recognize and fortunately for Naruto, he was. The blond turned to see two of his very few childhood friends; rejects like him in the academy, Choji and Shikamaru. "Well at least that we all are together on this one." Shikamaru was a lazy but smart boy to everyone but Naruto felt sorry for the Nara and drilled some humility into his head which worked to some extent.
"Be quiet you two." An unfamiliar voice got the Konoha genins' attention to see someone that looks like he is in his twenties. He wore glasses that seemed to make him smarter; he also wore a white shirt under a black jacket with grey pants. "If you are anymore noisily, you gain the wrong attention especially from the team over there." The man pointed to the group of Genin each wearing a head band with a music note on it.
"And who are you?" Naruto asked politely but deep inside his head, the blond had a good idea who was the man he was talking to; Kabuto, personal medic to Orochimaru the Snake Sage. Naruto detected the strong scent of snakes all over the man's body along with herbs and medicine.
"Sorry about my manners. My name is Kabuto and I am what you may call your senior genin." Kabuto scratched his head sheepishly.
"Have you taken the Exams before Kabuto-san?" Hinata asked while trying to escape the lustful gazes of her brash teammate.
"Yes, this is my seventh." Kabuto admitted that everyone looked sorry for him but they knew better that no one takes the exams for six times until today.
"Wow you must really suck." Kiba rudely replied.
"Hey these Exams are tough, only few genins pass, some genin never pass and must wait for next time and yet most genin don't ever survive the Exams at all. They are that dangerous." Kabuto warned them but they knew that if Kabuto was worse than them, he wouldn't even be here; that tells them that he is strong, too strong to be a Genin. "If you like, I can give you some forethought." This confused the ninjas so they all didn't say a word. "My business is that I can create Ninja Cards. They store information on Genin who are participating in the Exams this year including their origin, history and skill level." This really got Sasuke's attention as he hoped to learn about his rivals so he could vanquish them all.
"Okay, give me the cards for Gaara from Suna, Rock Lee from Konoha, and Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha." This brought scowls on many faces as the Rookie of the Year buying info that he could learn himself on the battlefield, like he was too scared to learn.
"You know their names huh? This is easier than I thought~?" Kabuto was interrupted from his thoughts when he noticed that his deck of Ninja Cards were absent and looked for them; he found the deck in Naruto's hand.
"Thank you Kabuto-san," Naruto then caused the card deck to engulf in flames, "For nothing."
"Hey what is your problem Dobe!?" Kiba wasn't happy about Naruto's actions; he was hoping that if Naruto's ninja history was terrible, Hinata will leave Naruto and go to him.
"Ninja entitle to their own secrets, not show them off when there could have been ears belonging to people who can use our own private info as a weapon against us." Naruto retorted making much of the genin present smile at the respect Naruto is showing for them even the foreign ninja. "If you are so anxious to see my stuff, then be patient because the Exams will finally start about...now!"
As soon as Naruto finished his sentence, a cloud of smoke appeared in the room revealing a scarred man wearing a cap with the Konoha symbol engraved in a metal plate on the forehead area. He was wearing a Jonin suit with black cloak that hides most of his body.
"Alright you maggots! You are now allowed to enter the room now move!" They winced at the volume of the voice and obeyed. The room in question was like the classrooms in the Academy complete with separate desks and blackboard but also with Chunin each sitting in a chair facing away from the windows that reveal how the village looks from the room. Naruto and his girls knew that if teammates sit next to each other, it will raise suspicion and bad attention; they had enough of it today already. So Naruto sat in one chair while Tenten and Hinata sit on either side while Ino sat behind him and Sakura sat in front of him.
"Okay maggots, Welcome to the First Exam!" The proctor announced.
