Chapter 26: Chunin Exams Begin

Sasuke and Lee stood at opposite ends of each other preparing themselves to fight. Lee had looked over to Sasuke and noticed that he had activated his Sharingan. Lee kept his guard up as he watched Sasuke charge at him. Sasuke opened up with several punches, but to his surprise Lee had evaded his attack with great speed as he appeared behind and kicked Sasuke in back sending Sasuke rolling to the floor.

"What speed, how are you so fast" Said Sasuke as he got off the ground and raised his guard.

"This is the result of my training" Said Lee as he started to run towards Sasuke. Sasuke tried to keep up with his movements with his Sharingan but he was too fast. Lee then appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach, at that moment Sasuke grabbed Lee's arm and pulled him until his knee contacted with Lee's stomach, Sasuke took this moment and kicked Lee sending him back across the ground.

"You are very talented Sasuke Uchiha, but your Sharingan is no match for my technique" Said Lee as he once again charged at Sasuke.

"It doesn't matter if you're using Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu I'll see it happening before you complete it" Said Sasuke as he concentrated on Lee, but to his surprise he couldn't see any chakra building up as Lee kicked him up into the air. At this moment Sasuke was stunned at his strength. Suddenly Lee appeared under Sasuke while in mid air as his bandages started to come off of Lee's arms and wrap around Sasuke. But before the bandages could finish wrapping around Sasuke a small spinning wheel had come out of nowhere and stuck the bandages on the wall making Sasuke drop to the floor with Lee landing in front of him.

"Sasuke!" Yelled Ino as she ran over to him "Are you alright Sasuke" Said Ino, helping him off the ground.

"Yeah I'm fine" Said Sasuke as he got off the ground and looked over to Lee who was kneeling on the ground in front of a giant turtle.

"What is he doing?" Said Naruto, confused to what was going on.

"Lee you know well not to use that technique" Said the turtle, while everyone stared blankly at it.

"It can talk" Said Sakura.

"I'm sorry, please don't tell sensei" Said Lee bowing down on the floor.

"Too late his here now" Said the turtle as he a pile of smoke appeared on top of him revealing a figure who looked exactly the same as Lee, cloths wise and appearance wise. The figure stood there with a goofy looking pose making everyone but lee sweet drop.

"Who is this, guy and why does he have the same but bushie eyebrows than Lee" Said Naruto.

"This is Gai Sensei, the master of Taijutsu and.." Before Lee could finish Gai had punched Lee in the face shocking everyone.

"Lee how many times I have told you not to use that move" Said Gai as he walked over to Lee.

"I'm sorry sensei I was just trying to do my best"

"I know Lee, and I'm proud of you for trying" Said Gai as large amount of tears started falling down both their eyes as Gai helped Lee up. At this moment everyone was creped out. "Now then Lee you need to be punished, I want you to do 100 no 200 laps of this hall on your hand" At this moment everyone was not taking him seriously.

"Yes Sensei" Said Lee as he started dong his laps of the hall.

"You guys, your Kakashi's squad correct" Said Gai as he walked over to them, while they nodded in reply.

"How do you know Kakashi" Asked Naruto.

"I and Kakashi have been rivals since we were little, and did you know that I've bested him a few times now" said Gai, everyone was shocked that Kakashi was beaten by this guy but they didn't know whether to take him seriously or not.

"Well I don't want to keep you youths here any longer or you might be late" Said Gai as he walked off to watch Lee, while everyone else continued on to the room they had to be in. When they entered the room, the class room was full of ninja from all different villages. When they walked in everyone in there thought they were a joke, well everyone except Ino's team.

"So you three, this your first Chunin exam" the group turned around to the guy talking to them. "Sorry let me introduce myself, I'm Kabuto Yakushi"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha" Said Naruto as the other two nodded. Kabuto looked at Sasuke.

"Ah Sasuke Uchiha, I've heard my great things about your clans abilities" Said Kabuto, Sasuke ignored him.

"Anyway you were asking if this was our first exam" Said Sakura.

"Yes, is it" Sakura nodded. "Well then let me give you some advice then" Said Kabuto as he pulled out a pack of cards, which had information on several ninja.

"What are those" Asked Sasuke.

"These are ninja info cards they contain small bits of information on some of the ninja that are currently here" Kabuto then started showing them some of the people who where here until he stopped and a certain card and looked at them.

"What is it" Asked Naruto.

"This particular ninja looks quite suspicions, I would be careful of him if I was you" Kabuto then showed them the card, the name of the ninja that was on the card read Gaara of the desert. "I believe that's him other there" Everyone turned around to see Gaara with his team; he then looked up and looked at Sasuke before taking his attention off him. "Well then I best get going good luck you three" Said Kabuto as the three of them wished him good luck as well. After a couple more minutes of waiting a bell then went off and a tall muscled Jonin walked into the room.

"Alright everyone, take your given seats and listen" Everyone walked off to their seats, all the teams had been separated as well as Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were at different ends of the room. "Alright then the written part of your exam will start soon but first let me lay down a few rules" At this moment Naruto was already panicking due to the fact he was useless when it came to written tests. "Alright then first rule, you all have ten points, you will lose one point for every wrong answer you have, you will loss two points if you are caught cheating, caught cheating three times you and your team fail the test, to pass the test you must have at least one point left, last rule is that you do not answer the tenth question until I tell you to, do I make myself clear" Everyone in the room remained quiet and simply nodded. "Alright then begin"

Everyone had looked down at their papers, some people started straight away while some were left confused at the questions they were given. Sakura then looked at her paper and started the answering the questions, she then instantly figured that this test encouraged the person to cheat without getting caught as the test even for herself was a little hard. Sasuke on the other hand had already found a solution, he was using his Sharingan to copy the movements of the person in front him as he answered his questions. Sasuke and Sakura then started to think if Naruto was going to pass or not, as the two of them knew that he was no good at written tests.
