Hello my readers. They will not spend the money right away and won't go to the hot springs. Now to the person who said "Fuck off you yaoi son of a bitch" I feel that you don't have to read the story at all. Also even if I don't warn it in the summery I do warn of Yaoi in my warning section before the beginning of the chapter. I apologize that you feel that way but I truly don't care and you can keep those types of comments to yourself. I apologize to the guest who feels this is a dry story with the way I'm writing. This was one of my first stories that were long and I already have done so many chapters with this same style of writing. I also don't know what other way I could possibly write it since first person point of view I don't seem to like. There also will be a time skip in this chapter. I have tried my best to think of things to add to take up a whole year in the story but couldn't think of any that ended up being good enough. So there is a whole year of time skip.

Recap: Passing the genin exam Naruto and Lee are on team 9 with Neji and Tenten. After a month of being a team they are heading out on their first c-rank mission.

Chapter 12: Time skip and Chunin exam.

Naruto and Lee walked towards the Konoha academy along with their other two team mates. They were heading to the academy for the beginning of the chunin exams. Naruto couldn't believe that it's been a whole year since they've been a team. The year wasn't anything special, they trained more and did many more missions. They even were able to go on one B-rank mission after their fifth successful C-rank mission. They were lucky none of those missions ended up being missed ranked like the first c-rank mission.

Walking through the doors of academy team 9 walked up the steps until they reached a crowd of genin on the second floor being blocked entry into a room by two rough looking genin. Naruto tilted his head and looked to Lee and the others wondering if he was missing something. The paper said that they would find the room for the exams on the third floor not the second. Neji gently prodded them and tilted his head to the stairway off to the side and the team continued on figuring it was to cut down numbers.

They got halfway up the stairs before hearing an arrogant voice call out to the two in front of the fake room "This room is a fake. You used a genjutsu to make it seem like the third floor." Team 9 turned around to find a pale boy with black duck butt hair arrogantly staring at the two supposed genin. His teammates stood slightly behind him, the girl had long pink hair and green eyes, while the other boy had a bluish grey hair with brown eyes and bandages fully wrapped his right arm. Their names were Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sora. Sora was originally being trained by the monks of the fire temple but was taken to Konoha after Asuma who used to go there discovered the boy had a large amount of chakra. What many people didn't know was that he had some of the Kyuubi's dense chakra sealed within his body as a child and because of that it deformed his right arm and hand.

Many of the other genin looked over to him and whispered quietly to their teammates. Sasuke smirked as he threw a kick towards one of the disguised genin as the genin threw a punch towards Sasuke. Lee decided he wanted to show off a bit and stepped between the two and stopped the hits with just a finger. Sasuke's eyes widened as he found his foot completely stopped before falling back when Lee pushed on his foot. Standing up Lee walked back to his team not looking at anyone as he walked up the steps. Before Sasuke could move all the other genin moved to the stairway rushing to get to the starting point of the chunin exams. Sasuke followed as soon as he could but couldn't find the boy that stopped his kick.


With Team 9

Team 9 was currently in the room with the first test of the chunin exams. They stood against the east wall making sure that they were away from the other participants. Most of them were very hostile and released "KI" in waves. That's when there was a commotion by the entrance to the room as team 7 entered the room. The commotion was Sakura and Ino fighting over Sasuke. Team 9 watched as the rest of team 10 walked over to team 7 and then team 8 join up with team 7 as well, causing most of the genin here to look at the group. They were gaining the attention of all in the exams and that was not a good thing.

The group was then joined by a silver haired boy who introduced himself as Kabuto. Naruto and Lee narrowed their eyes as they could smell the scent of snake wafting from the boy. They were used to that smell thanks to fighting Medusa. This boy also knew way too much for a genin with all those cards on the genin's stats. Team 9 watched as the sound team attacked the boy for the comment of them being a week village. Kabuto thought he was safe from the attack because he had jumped back but his glasses broke and he threw up. Before the sound genin could attack again a large puff of smoke filled the room and a loud voice shouted "Shut up and sit down at the number given to you!"

The teams lined up and each member was given a different number that corresponds with a seat. Naruto got seat 20 and ended up by a sound ninja and a grass ninja. Lee ended up towards the front next to a fellow Konoha genin and the wall. Neji was placed towards the back of the room next to the window. Tenten was in the middle of the classroom by a fellow Konoha ninja. Passing out the written tests Ibiki yelled out the rules to them before starting the time for the exams. The genin started their tests without any further delay many of them getting the meaning of the test right away and started cheating.

Tenten used mirror to get her answer no one knowing how she was able to get them up there in the first place. Neji and Hinata lowered their heads and used their Byakugan being able to see through things and see the answers. Sasuke used his Sharingan to match the movements of another genin. Shikamaru used his intelligence to answer all the questions before using his shadow to help Choji answer his. Sakura was smart enough to answer the questions by herself but after finishing the answers she slumped forward along with Ino who used her mind transfer jutsu. The redhead from Suna used a sand eye while the one with makeup on his face used a puppet. Lee and Naruto both used their own intelligence to answer the questions. Kiba used his dog Akamaru to get the answers while Shino used his bugs. Sora was able to use some of his wind chakra to detect the movements of a person answering the questions. Any who were caught cheating were marked down by one of the chunin until five times they were caught and forced out failing.

An hour passed by quickly for those taking the exam as they were soon told "Put pencils down the exam is over!" All the genin did as they were told. "Now is the final question and a question that will determine if you will ever be able to move on to Chunin. Any team who fails this test will never be allowed to become a chunin in their life." This statement caused many of the genin to give up not wanting to ruin their team's' chances of going further along in rank. Ten teams gave up raising their hands high and apologizing to their teammates. Soon Ibiki looked out towards the rest of the genin making sure no more which to give up. He then smiled and said "you all pass" causing many of the genin shock as they didn't think it would be so easy.

Before Ibiki could talk any more a ball of cloth broke through the window and pinned against the wall blocking Ibiki. The banner read "The sexiest and most dangerous kunoichi of Konoha". A woman with purple spiky hair and wearing revealing clothes such as a tan trench coat with fishnet shirt underneath and a bra appeared in front of the banner. She looked out at the group of remaining genin and laughed holding her gut. The genin watched as the woman complained about how there were so many of them before telling them all where the next part of the exams will be held.

The genin followed the woman through the window until they arrived at a large fence blocking a dark forest that seemed to scream danger to most of their senses. Many of the genin squirmed in discomfort as Anko, the name she introduced herself as, explained what their mission was in this part of the exam. The mission was simple as could be, collect one of each type of scroll and head to the tower located in the middle of the forest known as "the forest of death". They were then given forms that stated that Konoha was not responsible for the death of the genin when in the forest.

Handing in their form Team 9 obtained an earth scroll and the gate number that they will start at. They quickly and quietly came up with a plan of attack once they entered the forest. They finally decided on the formation that would be best suited for them. Neji would be in the front using his byakugan and Lee will be a few steps behind him. Naruto and Tenten would then have the rear as they had more support abilities. Once the horned sound and the gate opened team 9 rushed through going at high speed.

Jumping through the trees Team 9 soon came to a halt as Neji stuck his fist up. Neji turned around and started to whisper "A team of Iwa genin to our left incoming fast. Two males and one female, female's chakra is low as well as one of the male's as the other male has at least jounin reserves." They quickly hid as the team arrived in the clearing that team 9 set up an ambush. As the Iwa genin jumped into the clearing they were caught in a genjutsu created by Naruto. Tenten jumped high in the air pulling a scroll out and releasing thousands of Kunai down onto the unsuspecting genin below. The kunoichi and the love chakra level Shinobi were able to escape the fate at their bigger member who looked like a pincushion now.

The female kunoichi went berserk and started to attack Tenten out of rage with a kunai. Before the other male could stop his teammate he was knocked out and he dropped to the ground with a thud. Lee stood behind where the boy was standing his fist extended to show he knocked the Iwa genin unconscious. Neji easily took the Kunoichi down with his gentle fist. She dropped to the ground unable to move as she panted for breath. Naruto walked over to the large genin and took a heaven scroll from his pack. Signalling to his teammates they left the clearing not wanting to stay there any longer.


Two days later

It's been three days now into the exams. Neji and Tenten watched as Lee and Naruto decimated a team of sound genin who were trying to kill Sasuke. Lee easily scooped Sakura up as the boy named Zuko used sound waves to crush much of the area. Naruto was on the boy in a second the blade of the thunder god out and captured him in rings of lightning chakra. The other two sound genin Kin and Dosu were about to interfere when a dark evil power made itself known. Looking over to the tree that they were battling in front of the group saw Sasuke standing there his curse seal spread across his shoulder, neck and face. Sasuke looked towards Sakura and asked who hurt her.

Sakura pointed toward Zuko but Sasuke took it as Naruto. Sasuke disappeared in a burst of speed before he appeared behind Naruto and almost grabbed a hold of his arms if it weren't for Lee. "Dynamic Entry!" Lee yelled out as he kicked Sasuke across the face sending him flying. The boy landed on his feet skidding along the ground because of the force. Naruto used his sword to throw Zuko who passed out towards his teammates who left their scroll and ran for it. Lee and Naruto now stood side by side as they faced off against a cursed Sasuke.
