The Story:

It had been a week since the exams had started and Naruto was now looking for the female ninja who had said she would see team seven at the end of a week. Not seeing his target Naruto sighed in disappointment his eyes happened to skim over an agitated ANBU at the same time. 'That's not a good sign!' Naruto thought in alarm.

Naruto happened to be right, an agitated ANBU plus enemy ninja on either side of them equals a flashing neon orange sign that screams, "RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!"

Naruto was suddenly broken from his thoughts when he hear Kabuto withdraw from the matches under the pretense of being to hurt to continue. Naruto frowned, 'he doesn't look hurt,' he thought glancing over the other genin.

Turning his attention back to the announcer the first match was announced, "Uchiha Sasuke vs. Yori of the Leaf! Would both opponents approach the arena?"

Leaping down into the arena Sasuke was grinning like a mad man, "I blame it on the snake guy, Orochimaru I believe those sound guys called him." Naruto muttered more to himself then to Sakura beside him.

"What do you blame on him?" Sakura muttered in return her eyes glued to the match going on below them.

Naruto was startled to have her reply to his mutterings, "The snake dude who attacked us did something funny to Sasuke."

(ANBU's POV)

'They are speaking of Orochimaru?!' I thought in rage, 'I will kill him with my bare hands if he so much as laid a hand of Naruto!'

(Author's POV)

The unknown ANBU turned their attention back toward the fight going on below. Sasuke had barely won with the lion combo attack. "Winner Uchiha Sasuke! Will Yamanaka Ino and Hurano Sakura come down?"

Both females walked down the steps with confident grins that said they knew they were going to win this match. "I will win this time Ino-pig!" Sakura growled.

"You can try forehead, but you wont succeed," Ino replied with a smirk. Five minutes later they were both out cold and neither had won the match.

And so the fights continued until, "Uzumaki Naruto of the leaf vs. Inuzuka Kiba of the leaf."

'Don't' hurt him too badly,' thought the ANBU as they watched the two combatants vault over the hand rails into the arena.

"Why don't you just save yourself the humiliation and quit now?" Kiba suggested "nicely" to Naruto.

"Funny that you say that, I was just about to say the same thing to you," Naruto drawled in reply before shifting into a stance that only those Jounin who had worked with the Shinigami could recognize.

"The Shinigami has been teaching him?!" one of the other Jounin gasped in surprise.

"Yes she has been," Kakashi replied from behind the surprised Jounin as he remembered how Harry would teach Naruto.

During the time that the Jounin had been staring at Kakashi (five minutes) the fight had continued and were snapped out of their stupor by a loud roar of approval from the crowd around them.

"Winner, Uzumaki Naruto! Now everyone who had won their match please approach me to draw the number of which you will have a match and who you will fight with." The examiner called after the fight had called after the matches between Neji and Hinata and Lee and Gaara had finished.

Suddenly and ANBU jumped down from a shadowed rafter to right in front of the Kyuubi vessel and ruffled his golden hair, "Thank you Shinigami-sensei." Naruto chirped as he batted at the hand ruffling his hair.

The ANBU gracefully inclined her head in acknowledgment, "I will be gone for two weeks so remember to practice what I have taught you."

Naruto looked scandalized at the very suggestion, "Of course I will practice! I don't need my butt handed to me on a golden platter again." This last sentence was muttered under his breath.

Kakashi smirked underneath his mask, "I will make sure that he doesn't slack off as well."

Shinigami whirled around to face him the masks slits for eyes showed bits of emerald, "Do not uncover your sharingon during his training."

Kakashi flinched, "I did not plan to," he replied.

"Good, Hokage-sama, I am going home then. I am visiting a few friends after that."

The Hokage nodded knowing that the words were a play to cause the Oto-nin to relax their guard, "Very well Shinigami. Tell Albus I said hello for me."

"Of course Hokage-sama."

(Kakashi's POV)

'What is Harry thinking leaving at this point in time? We need to prepare for the attack.'

"Shinigami's flames of youth need to be revived and thus she is going to take a break and go home for two months!" Gai announced loudly.

"Gai, why did you just announce that in front of everyone?" demanded Anko playing along.

"Because it is so youthful that I just 'had' to announce it to the world, and everyone around us!"

Finally I caught on, 'So they are doing this to bring their guard down huh? Interesting.' "I'm going to check on my team."

"See you later my eternal rival, tell Naruto-kun to meet me at five tomorrow in the morning." Gai asked.

"Sure Gai." 'Why is Naruto getting training from Gai? Does Harry not trust me to train him in taijustu?'

OoOoOoOoO
