Chapter 11 – The first test commences!

Sakura's P.O.V

I really wanted to kill Kabuto. Not only did they know I was pregnant, but they also knew that I have the Sharingan. At least they didn't check Naruto's card.

"We will now start the first test in the Chunin exam, instead of your current seating arrangements…you will pick one of these tabs and it in the seat assigned to you," Ibiki said as he held up a small wooden block that had the number one on it, "We will then hand out the exams."

I could hear the majority of the people groan when they realised this was going to be a written test. Once I was seated I looked around discreetly and noticed that everyone was pretty much sitting where we had the first time. Naruto was still sat next to Hinata, and Sasuke was sat behind me. The plan was for me to relay the answers to Naruto, and Hinata would copy him using her Byakugan.

"Do not turn over your tests. Listen closely to what I am about to say!" Ibiki barked as he took his place at the front of the classroom.

"There are many important rules to this first test," he turned around to face the board, "I'll write it on the board while I explain, but questions will not be allowed so listen carefully." He then continued to list the rules. While Ibiki was talking I had taken to staring at him intently, looking right into his eyes. Just before he finished his speech, I flashed my Sharingan, making him step back slightly in surprise.

"The exam will last one hour…" he stood facing us intently, although I could see that he was trying to avoid my gaze, "BEGIN!" I took my time writing the answers, reading them off in my mind as I wrote them.

"Done," Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke all chorused at the same time. We had finished with half of the time to spare, so we decided to take a nap.

Third P.O.V

They all lay asleep, making sure to cover their papers with their arms, until Ino decided to try and enter Sakura's mind.

"Shintenshin no jutsu!" Ino mumbled as her body went limp. Sakura's head hit the table, causing a few people to look at her. Those that had turned around to look at her had Kunai thrown at their desks.

'Alright!' Ino thought as she picked up Sakura's test paper. She began to memorise the answers, when she felt a tingle in the back of her mind. One minute she was looking at Sakura's test paper, and the next she was looking at the image of Naruto doing his Oiroke no jutsu. Ino pulled out of Sakura's head as quickly as she could, while Sakura was trying her best not to fall out of her chair laughing.

Sasuke woke up when he felt Kankuro's familiar chakra pass. He looked up slightly to see Kankuro retaking his seat.

"Ok, we will now start the 10th question," Ibiki looked around the room, still avoiding Sakura's gaze.

"First, for this 10th question…you must decide whether you will take it or not."

Temari slammed her hand onto the table, "Choose? What happens if we choose not to?" She asked desperation clear in her voice. Ibiki smirked;

"If you choose not to, your points will be reduced to zero…You fail! Along with your two team mates." There was an uproar caused by the other participants.

"And now for the other rule…If you choose not to take it…And answer incorrectly…That person will lose their right to take the Chunin exams ever again!"

Sasuke's P.O.V

After sitting through Ibiki's speech again and having Naruto once again encourage people, I figured out that there were still less people than last time. Just as he was finishing his speech, a rain of kunai shattered the window, and Mitarashi Anko came barrelling in. the sign above her was stuck using the Kunai that had shattered the glass.

"You guys, This is no time to be celebrating!" She said as she pointed her thumb towards herself, "I am the examiner for the second test, Mitarashi Anko, Now let's go!"

Not even an hour later we were standing in front of our gate with our heaven scroll in my pouch.

"Are you guys ready?" Sakura asked as she grabbed both of our hands. Hinata was going to leave a shadow clone with her team and come and help us, so that we could get rid of Orochimaru. But there was no guarantee that she was going to get here before he did.

"The second test of the Chunin exams now begins!" Anko shouted, and we were off like bullets, shooting into the forest. About ten minutes in Naruto stopped.

"Guys," He said as he started fidgeting, "I got to take a piss…" and he proceeded to face a tree.

"Go behind a bush!" Sakura screamed as she kicked him into the nearest bush. About five minutes later he walked out, and I could tell that he had already taken care of the rain ninja.

"Password time," I said as I sat cross legged on the floor, 'even though we don't need a password,' I said to them through our mental link.

"The nin song 'nin machine'…when this is asked, answer with 'a large amount of loud enemies is the friend of the Shinobi, hide and remain silent. A Shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared." They looked at me and nodded, and I was hoping that Orochimaru was already watching. I was soon answered with a large gust of wind, that only Naruto would fail to stay standing in. he was blown far away behind us.

Sakura and I had gathered chakra to our feet, and had successfully stayed where we were. I saw 'Naruto' approach in front of us.

"Stop!" I said as I threw a kunai at him.

"First the code-word, the Nin song 'Nin machine'." Sakura said as she also readied herself with a kunai.

"'A large amount of loud enemies is the friend of the Shinobi, hide and remain silent. A Shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared," 'Naruto' answered.

Sakura's P.O.V

I smirked at Sasuke, and we both charged at Orochimaru with our Kunai drawn. He jumped back, and kept evading us until he was stood on a tree branch.

"Impressive that you knew…" He said as he revealed his original form, well the grass genin, "How did you know? That I was a fake…" Sasuke just smirked again, before we both reached for the summoning scrolls that we kept in our pouches. We both summoned our respective swords, both Kusunagi that we had taken from Orochimaru's hideout. Mine was the same as Sasuke's, but the guard and hilt was red, and the blade about an inch shorter.

"There's no way that Naruto would have remembered a password that long!" I sneered as I began making hand signs.

"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" He didn't even get a chance to speak as he was hit by my water dragon. I nodded at Sasuke, who began to weave signs of his own.

"Raiton: Rairyu no jutsu!" As soon as he was hit by the lightning dragon, he began to scream in pain. We withdrew slightly, giving ourselves the chance to plan another approach.

Just as we were about to move in for another attack, we heard noises from the nearby trees;

"Doton: Kyojin wa ken!" Hinata called as she punched in Orochimaru's direction, sending a giant fist sized chunk of mud flying at him. He was sandwiched between the mud and a tree. Naruto landed in the clearing next to Hinata.

"Get captured by the snake again, Dobe?" Sasuke called as we jogged over to them. Hinata already had her Byakugan activated, and it looked like she was scanning for Orochimaru. Sasuke and I quickly activated our Sharingan, just in time to dodge the head of the snake that was aiming for us.

That's the end of this chapter! What will happen next? Will Orochimaru be defeated? Will Sasuke receive the curse mark once again? Read and review to find out :)
