They eventually made themselves comfortable in the lobby of the tower. No one else had come in yet. Which was to be expected since the exams had only been going on for a few hours at best.

It didn't take long however for one of the higher ninjas to make his rounds and thus stumble upon the lot of them.

'I thought no one had finished yet?' He mumbles.

They were about to respond but the man had already disappeared. Not much later Kakashi and Anko arrive on the scene.

'So, how did you brats manage to get inside without any of us noticing.' Anko glares at the lot of them.

Naruto sips the coffee he got in his mug. Where did that come from? 'We took the underground tunnel.'

'Underground tunnel?'

Naruto acts as if he doesn't hear the surprise in her voice. 'There are a lot of them in the village. You just have to look hard enough.'

'That's right. But how do you know about them?' Now Kakashi is glaring at them as well. Seems he knows about the tunnels as well. Sasuke should investigate them sometime. Sounds like something worth his time.

'I was curious.'

Sakura stares at the mug in Naruto's hand. 'Naruto where did you get that coffee from? It smells really good.'

It doesn't take long for Naruto to answer. 'ANBU headquarters.' Sasuke stares at him. He knows where the headquarters are. He should get that information as well, to prank Itachi.

'The coffee there is really good. I have to agree with that.' Kakashi nods along. Anko gives him a hard shove in the side.

'How the heck did you even find ANBU headquarters?'

'It is where it's always been.' Naruto says. Sasuke has to hold himself back. Of course, it's there. It's not like it's a traveling circus.

Anko is not convinced however. 'Then how did you get past the guards.'

'I know all 37 hidden entrances.' Naruto holds up five of his fingers. His other hand is occupied with the mug and he has only ten fingers total. Sasuke doesn't quite know why he's holding up his fingers.

'37? I thought there were only 33.' Iruka comes to the scene from the corridor as well. Sasuke has to stare at his former teacher. What?

Naruto thinks for a second. 'Well there is the one behind the oldest tree, and the one behind the dango shop.' He starts listing of more and more of the various hidden locations within the village. Sasuke makes a mental note of all of them.

Then Iruka adds one as well. 'And the one underneath the desk in classroom 005.'

'There is one too? I guess there are 38 entrances then.'

Anko just stares at the two of them with wide eyes. 'What business do you even have in ANBU headquarters?'

'Drinking the coffee.' Naruto holds up his mug to illustrate his point. Sasuke smells the aroma from a mile away. He has to admit it smells great.

'Just for that?'

'Yes. The coffee is just that good.' Naruto replies. Kakashi nods along as well. Sasuke got to get himself some of it then.

'I have to agree with Naruto.' Iruka says. Sasuke remembers the times the man brought coffee in the classroom. Does that mean those cups were also from the ANBU headquarters?

'So, you just sneak in to drink some coffee.'

'Now I want some too.' Sakura stares at the orange clad boy. She makes her best puppy eyes. It's not very effective.

'Why did you not get us some Naruto?' Sasuke stares the boy down as well, but without the puppy eyes.

Naruto holds up his hands. 'I didn't know if you drank coffee.'

'I don't but now I'm curious.' Sasuke says.

'I'll show you the entrance later.' Naruto shrugs him of. Sasuke feels a little offended at that.

'I guess you pass the exam then.' Anko sighs. Deciding she won't win the argument. 'Did you even think of doing it the normal way?'

'Well yes, but then we got attacked by Orochimaru and plans changed.' Sakura explains.

'Orochimaru?' the adults eyes widen and they nearly choke on their spit.

Sorry for not uploading for so long. I got caught up with other things. Also this chapter is a bit short but this was the best point to cut it off.
