(A/N) Chuunin exams properly now. I give it 5 or 6 chapters, then we're done!

"Chuunin exams!" Naruto shouted, throwing his arms up.

"You think it's a paper test?" Sakura asked, smirking. "It is inside the building…"

Naruto groaned loudly. "Really? A paper test? Can I just light it on fire?"

"You can't light everything on fire," Sasuke said, moving towards the building. "Unfortunately."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "That is not an unfortunate thing. That's a good thing." She herded them inside, and up the stairs. "And besides, you'll have to do paperwork someday."

Naruto pouted dramatically, and Sasuke elbowed him. "Come on, we have a paper to write on!"

"They must all be jerks," Naruto said, hardly blinking at the KI. Sakura knew the entire room heard him from the increased glaring.

"From the miniscule KI they're putting off, I would agree with you," Sasuke said, smirking. The glaring increased further. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"That wasn't hard!" Sakura chirped.

"Even with the puppy dog KI!" Naruto said, grinning mischievously at the people around them who heard him and glared.

Sasuke yawned. "So whadda think we're doing next?"

"Something with that place," Sakura said dryly, pointing to the massive forest in front of them.

"Alright Gaki!" Their proctor, Anko, shouted, a maniacal grin on her face. "This, is Training Ground 44! Better known as The Forest of Death!"

Sakura blinked at the forest. "What's in it?"

"You'll have to find out for yourselves!" Anko chirped. "Now! Fetch a single scroll, and get moving to a gate! Also, take a paper, and sign one! They're waivers so Konoha doesn't get held accountable for your deaths!"

Naruto and Sasuke blinked at each other, and Sakura sighed.

"Awesome!" They said in unison.

Sakura sighed again, rolling her eyes at the slightly nervous looks they got sent.

They were attacked five minutes in. Sakura wasn't even surprised.

Ame nin lunged out of the bushes and attacked them, attempting a frontal assault. Sakura, who'd had the seals ready since they entered, slapped a lightning seal on the one that had attempted to attack her, and lunged out of the way. The nin collapsed to the ground, the lightning wreaking havoc on all of his body's systems.

Sasuke's nin lunged at him, and got his head incinerated. Sasuke stepped out of the way of the now headless body, letting it fall to the ground, then beginning to search it.

Naruto just sort of punched his in the stomach, knocking them out with a clean blow to the head.

"Mine doesn't have it," Sasuke said, looking up from his body. He quickly made the hand signs for another fire jutsu, and incinerated the body, crystalizing a good section of the ground beneath it.

"Mine either," Sakura noted, slapping a paralyzing seal on hers.

"Found it!" Naruto shouted, holding it up triumphantly. "And it's the one we need!"

Sakura smiled, taking the scroll from him and tucking it into her kunai pouch. "Wonderful! Now, let's continue walking, and see if any other idiots try and attack us."

"Maybe they will!" Naruto said optimistically.

"Not those three weird Suna kids," Sasuke decided. "That red-head actually had some potent KI, it was just tightly leashed. He looked a bit insane."

"Oh, the furball is complaining about one of his siblings being here," Naruto noted suddenly.

Sakura facepalmed. "That might have been nice to know before!"

Sasuke tilted his head. "So, the red-head has a fuzzball in him?"

Naruto blinked a few times. "Oh! That explains the fearful looks his siblings gave him!"

"When was that?" Sasuke asked, confused.

"You were a sleep deprived zombie," Naruto explained. "We ran into them, the purple make-up boy had Konohamaru. Rumi showed up and showed them! Sure, she just said a few things, but she totally showed them!"

Sakura chuckled, shaking her head. "Oh boys. Can't go off on your own without getting into trouble, can you."

Naruto flushed.

"In my defense," Sasuke said. "I have no memory of that incident."

"Totally not a defense," Sakura sang, before a sudden wind blew out of nowhere, blowing them all backwards a few feet before they managed to secure themselves with chakra. Sakura crouched down and activated a barrier seal, stopping the wind from reaching them.

"A wind jutsu," Naruto immediately diagnosed. "Too strong to be anything else, especially with big trees like this."

Sasuke frowned. "Who has the ability to do this powerful wind jutsu?"

"The blonde one had a fan," Sakura said. "Could be her, Suna is known for its wind jutsu."

"I am no Suna nin." A grass nin walked out, the wind stopping as soon as it had sprung up.

Sakura didn't drop the barrier seal, pulling out another tag. "Who are you?"

"No one of importance," The nin all but purred.

Sasuke and Naruto shuddered. "Creepy!" Naruto stage whispered to Sakura.

The nin chuckled, an abnormally long tongue coming from their mouth, the appendage shooting for the barrier seal, and shattering it, the dark blue shards of seal energy falling around the trio.

"RUN!" Sakura yelled.

(A/N) Oh, hello Orochimaru!
