Naruto was sweating some heavy bullets. A test? A written test? Momma never said anything about this! Oh holy crickets, what was he to do now?!

It wasn't enough he had to meet that green monstrosity that had a caterpillary eyebrows (they were out to get him!) earlier this morning.

Sasuke, Sai and him were being all cool and dandy, walking away like bosses from the henged Izumo and Kotetsu (Naruto didn't quite get the meaning why they were henged... maybe it was a prank? If so, why didn't they let him in?!) feeling all proud and stuff, when all of a sudden! A walking disaster in green tight suit (Ku-chan was mumbling something about bleeding eyes) and eyebrows the size of a Hokage Monument flashed them the blindest and oddly, most youthful, smile they have ever seen.

"Fight me Sasuke!" The green caterpillar thing shouted in a human voice. Perhaps, it was a human?

"Tch, get out of the way."

"Not until you fight me! I wish to test the strength of a prodigy such as yourself against myself!" Then he heard him mumble something about winning the heart of a lovely blossom he found at the hospital, but never mind that. Sasuke's vein was throbbing.

"Get bent."

"Sasuke!" He then exclaimed, for it was most rude to use such language in front of a fellow Konoha genin (by now, Ku-chan supplied him with the strange creatures name).

"Hn." His hn-ing Uchiha said.

More words were exchanged between their sempai, Rock Lee, and Sasuke, most of them being how un-youthful Sasuke was for not agreeing to fight, then they moved to fighting (Lee had a killer foot moves) which all finished in Sasuke having a purple eye, Lee-sempai dragging his hand bandages everywhere around the room, and Naruto sipping tea with Sai at the left corner of their 'battlefield'.

Until a bigger, more muscled version of Lee-sempai appeared. Ku-chan momentarily blinded him when Gai-sensei deemed it worthy to have a hug fest with his student.

Unfortunately, Sasuke and Sai didn't have a bazillion years old biju to help them, so they ended up being slightly traumatized.

After that, they hurriedly stealth towards the examine room, where Kakashi congratulated them on getting there.

"I'm so glad the green monster didn't get to you!"

And then proceeded with pushing them into a spacious room filled with desks, chairs and lots of unknown, scary people.

Sasuke death glared anyone that so as much looked at them. He also made sure to hn some extra at Ino-chan, Hinata-chan, Kiba and some gray haired dude that Naruto could have sworn was Kakashi's cousin, that introduced himself as Kabuto.

Although, Naruto's attention seemed to be getting pulled to the red haired albino he met yesterday.

Gaara, the sand assassin... Is what Ku-chan called him, but the boy introduced himself as Subaku Gaara when he rescued Konohamaru from the cat wannabe boy. Ku-chan also said that Gaara was like him and carried one of Ku-chan siblings within himself... Though, unlike Naruto, his tenant was not so awesome and mind blowing, so Gaara didn't like him that much. All in all, nobody liked Gaara.

So Naruto decided he would become his friend.

….

Right after he finishes this stupid test.

"Alright you maggots, pens down!" Naruto hurriedly tried to write the things Ku-chan was yelling in his mind, but had to put it down at the stern look Ibiki gave him.

He pouted, quite cutely Sasuke and Hinata thought, but complied with the order the scarred and big man gave. He was not an idiot, he knew, unlike others, who Ibiki was. After all, Ibiki used to give him a piggy back ride around the ANBU headquarters when he was younger, and oh boy, did Naruto miss those days.

In his reminiscing, Naruto missed the monologue Ibiki gave to the now very nervous genins. Oh well, it's not important that much if all Ku-chan said was 'do not stand up, do not stand up, do not raise your hand' and so on. But he could see many people raising their hands and leaving the classroom with their annoyed teammates. Sai and Sasuke were casually ogling Naruto, so he figured they weren't going to stand up either.

"Congratulations, you all pass."

Just as Naruto was getting ready to give one of his most beautiful smiles to his team, a round ball came crashing through the window. Two kunai shot out if it, unraveling what seemed to be a banner with the writing Second Chunin Exam test proctor, Anko Mitarashi, is here!

And cue in Ku-chan's snickers and lame dango jokes.
