Naru slowly opened her eyes. She heard Saku and Naoto talking. She decided to be quiet to hear what they were talking about.
"Are you a little nervous about this exam?" Naoto asked his best friend.
"Of course I am. I mean…after all we're up against some heavy duty ninjas not to mention we have to worry about our friends as well." He sighed.
"Yeah, that Leiko, Norio and Shingo group kinda worries me some." Naoto admitted. "I would hate to fight against Norio." He sighed deeply.
"The group that worries me the most is Kumo and his group. That Tatsumaki girl, she's gonna be a real problem she just plucked Naru where the metal plate was and sent the girl flying. That's some real charka she got." Saku said as Naoto growled and made a fist.
"I thought I was gonna kill her for that. No one and I mean no one does that to my sister." He growled a bit. Naru began blushing. She always thought Naoto couldn't stand her.
"Where did they come from anyway? They just appeared out of no where and they have the nerve to act better than us when our Hokage gave them shelter. Actions like that piss me off." Saku growled. Naoto nodded his head.
Naru then blushed hard as she felt Saku's shoulder. He's grown so much, he actually has muscles now. I know he's tired, I should start walking now.
"I'm fine now Saku-Nii-Chan you can put me down." She said softly.
"No, you rest." He told her and smiled. Naoto looked at his sister and smiled.
"You finally woke up you were out for a while."
"You guys aren't tired?" She asked.
"We took a nap, a while ago." Naoto told her. "We're fine, you rest. After all you much younger then us you're body needs more rest." He smiled at her as she began blushing.
"We make a great team huh?" She laughed causing Saku and Naoto to laugh as well.
"Hell yeah and we did pretty good against our parents even though they're gonna kick our asses when we get back." Saku chuckled. Naoto sighed deeply thinking about that beating his was gonna get. He lost count of how many times he called his mother a hag. He then moaned.
Inoko, Shikaku and Chomichi jumped out a bush and stood in front of the confused three. Inoko placed her hand on her hip and pointed her right index finger at them.
"Hand over your scrolls." She told them.
"Say what?" They looked at her like she was insane.
"You heard me. I say hand over your scrolls, we are friends but this is also a competition and only survival of the fittest will survive."
"Guys get lost." Saku said as he and Naoto began walking. Inoko growled and pointed at them.
"DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM US!! Now Shikaku!" She shouted and Naru jumped from Saku's back. Naoto and Saku tried moving but couldn't.
"What the hell?!" Naoto shouted. Shikaku smirked.
"It's my shadow possession jutsu." He told them. "You'll never escape."
Inoko looked at Naru and smiled.
"Are you gonna try to save your friends?"
"No, because as you can see we're strong so we can always get more scrolls." She then walked to Naoto and took the scrolls from his pockets and threw them at her. Inoko looked at them before looking back at Naru. Akako smelt the scrolls and barked.
"Just as thought." She then kicked them away and they turned back into leaves. "I'm not stupid Naru. You have both scrolls don't you." Inoko smirked. "Sorry buddy but we gotta take them." She and Akako began walking toward Naru who growled.
They then heard laughing throughout the trees. Two guys and a female jumped from the trees and laughed.
"Great, we found a group with both scrolls. We didn't got an earth so that means one or two of you guys got a heaven so we gotta take them from you." The ninja with black hair smiled. Naru looked at their forehead metal plate.
The Village Hidden in the Mist huh? This might be tough with Naoto and Saku bind.
"Oh no Shikaku if those guys steal the scrolls there's no way we can take it from them." Inoko said to him. He growled and sighed deeply.
"I know that. This sucks." The three older ninjas began laughing.
"As long as you know that chumps. Now little girl hand over the scrolls." He demanded looking at the pink haired kunoichi.
"NO!" Naru yelled out. She then made hand signs and took a deep breath. "KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU!!!" She shouted and blew a strong fire at them. Inoko, Shikaku and Chomichi covered their eyes. The older ninjas jumped back looking at the scorched ground.
"So that's the brat of two of the Sannin huh?" The girl with long green hair asked.
"Apparently so and that was a mean fireball jutsu if we get hit with that we're gonna be in trouble." The boy with black hair said.
Saku and Naoto looked at her in shock.
"Since when did your sister learn that?"
"I have no frigging idea." He groaned feeling jealous.
Inoko began blinking.
"Did chibi Naru do that?" She asked her teammates who nodded.
The three ninjas then stood up on a branch.
"Tobi, Su, let's finish this and get the scroll we need." The boy with black hair said.
"Yes, Kenji." They replied and started making hands.
Naru looked at her teammates and they nodded their heads.
"Team 7 formation: Quick and Harmless!!" She shouted and Saku activated his Sharingan as Naoto summoned his red charka. They both stood behind Naru waiting for her command. Naru watched the team as they got ready to attack. "Now!" She shouted and instantly Saku began to mimic the hand signs as Naoto ran toward the leader. He head butted him.
"Hidden Mist Jutsu!" Saku yelled out and a strong wind of water came out his hands and he hit the two knocking them from the branch.
Naru made hand signs.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" She shouted and three clones appeared they ran and all of them gave the three ninjas a beating of a lifetime.
Inoko and her team watched in pure shock.
"And we wanted to steal their scrolls from them?" Inoko shivered a bit. Chomichi pointed at Shikaku.
"That was your bright idea."
"Apparently not that bright." Shikaku sighed. "This is so troublesome."
Naru then walked over to them and held a scroll in her hand.
"They apparently were lying. They had one they just needed the other. I hate lairs." She sighed deeply. "So this could or could not be your lucky day. Which scroll do you need?" She asked.
"We're not telling you!" Inoko crossed her arms looking away from her.
"The earth scroll!" Shikaku and Chomichi replied simultaneously making Inoko fall over.
"BAKAS!!! THEY ARE THE ENEMIES!" She yelled as Shikaku and Chomichi ignored her. Naru got ready to hand them the scroll but Saku and Naoto blocked her.
"Inoko's right. We're enemies now. Why should we help them? They were gonna try to rob us of ours!" Naoto snapped as Saku nodded his head.
"Key word…try. There was no way they were gonna get the scrolls from us and besides we should do them this favor after all how fun would it be to have the whole class pass and end up fighting together." Naru smiled. Saku and Naoto looked at each other before looking back at them.
"But they're weak they would lose against us." Saku said making the team behind them fall over. Naru giggled and held the scroll out toward them.
"Take it I want you guys to pass and besides Inoko think of this as me repaying you for always helping me and being like a big sister to me at the academy." She smiled. Inoko wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. She then took the scroll.
"Aww thanks Naru. Let's pass together."
"Yes." They both shook each other's hands as the guys around them smiled.
"Alright." Naoto smiled he then grabbed his stomach. "I gotta go to the bathroom again." He moaned and ran behind the tree. They all covered their noses.
