And here we go chapter 8 of nidaime Kiiroi Senkō and the beginning of the chunin exams. Let's discuss some reviews

RebelDragonWolf: Maybe the brothers will find out? Maybe they won't that's still yet to be seen. As for the villages I think for some people it will lead to something pretty bad from a certain point of view. Obviously that's still to be seen but the reveal will be soon.

: You see this is what fanfics are for I plan on buffing sakura a little bit not soon but further down the line and i plan on aging samui and yugito down a little bit. But hey if you don't want to read it that's on you.

ChunkyFunkyMunky: Ok?

I don't have much to say so without further ado, here we go!

Chapter 8: Chunin Exams Begin!

The academy was packed with young shinobi and kunoichi alike with aspirations to become chunin in their respective villages. Walking through the halls Team 7 worked hard to stay close to one another as they walked through a large crowd which all seemed to stop on the second floor.

"Isn't the chunin exam room in room 301?" Naruto whispered to shikamaru who simply nodded.

"Yeah something is going on." He whispered to both Temari and Naruto as they moved through the crowd.

"Come On you have to let us through!" Came a shout from the front of the crowd.

"Tenten?" Naruto asked aloud as they finally broke through to see two familiar looking genin in front of a room with "301" above it. Tenten and a hyuga stood just ahead of them pleading with the two genin who stood blocking everyone from entering.

"Are you sure you want to enter? The chunin exams are dangerous you could die we're just doing you a favor." One of the genin said crossing his arms as he stared down tenten.

"Our flames of youth would never allow us to die!" Came a shout from a genin next to the hyuga who wore a green jumpsuit and orange leg warmers. Naruto shuddered when he looked at the genin knowing exactly who he was.

"I'm sorry to say but nothing can truly prepare you for this your all too weak." The other genin said as Naruto frowned looking at the room sign one more time before he realized something.

"It's a genjutsu… come on guy's lets keep heading upstairs." Naruto whispered as they started to push their way through the crowd the team with tenten caught their movement and nodded between themselves.

"Fine your right we're too weak fate has decided it." The Hyuga said which was the last thing team 7 heard as they went down an off branching hallway to continue their way upstairs.

"Wait!" They heard from just behind them. "You are Naruto Namikaze right the son of the yondaime?" Turning around they saw the same green clad genin before however they got a better look at him. his hair was in a bowl-cut style; he wears a green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers, and a red forehead protector worn as a belt. He has bandages around his forearms up to his fingers. He also had rather large eyebrows.

"Yeah I am… I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name." Naruto said as the boy grinned with light practically gleaming off his teeth.

"I am Rock Lee and I would like to fight you you're the son of a hokage and the rookie of the year while I am the deadlast." Naruto stared at the genin with a small frown as he glanced at his teammates Temari was staring at the boys eyebrows in disgust and shikamaru simply shrugged.

"I suppose I could honor your request." Naruto said as the boys grin grew as he gave Naruto a thumbs up.

"Yosh that is most useful of you!" He shouted as he got into his fighting stance with his knees bent one arm behind his back and another in front of him. Naruto felt a sweat drop forming at the back of his head as he slipped into his own stance.

"Whenever you're ready Lee." Naruto told the green clad genin who nodded before literally disappearing from Naruto's sight causing the teens eyes to widen as he searched for the boy only to be forced to duck underneath an orange leg warmer which passed through were his head once was.

"Most youthful of you naruto-kun to be able to dodge my kick on only instinct!" Lee shouted as he brought his foot down causing Naruto to bring his arms up in an X as a crater formed underneath his from the pressure. Naruto grunted in pain as he felt his arms go numb.

"Oh kami that hurts." Naruto groaned out as he pushed his arms forward causing Lee to temporarily lose his balance giving Naruto an opening to quickly lash out with a punch to Lee's stomach sending the boy sliding back as a large grin formed on his face.

"You are indeed a worthy opponent Naruto-kun I hope to face you more in these exams." He said as the hyuga and Tenten entered the room.

"There you are Lee come on we're not waiting for you any longer." The older teen said with an exasperated sigh. Lee straightened up bowing to the Namikaze before moving to join his team waving the team 7.

"That was… weird." Naruto said rubbing his arms of their soreness.

"You said it now let's get a move on with these troublesome exams." The resident Nara prompted his team as they continued on to room 301 without any stops. Coming around the corner they were surprised to see Kakashi.

"Kakashi-nii what are you doing here?" Naruto asked confused.

"I wanted to wish my cute little genin team good luck." He said with an eye smile and a thumbs up.

"You also had to make sure all three of us showed up… am I right kakashi-sensei?" Shikamaru asked causing Kakashi to falter a slight bit.

"Well yes you are shikamaru however that doesn't mean I'm not here to see you guy's off. Whether you become chunin or not I believe in you guys so good luck." he said with an eye smile before shushining away. Turning to each other they smiled holding their fists out bumping them to each other.

"Listen guy's whatever lies behind that door we'll face them together." Naruto said as they seperated walking in the door only to be blasted by a large amount of killer intent.

"Jeez so much for a warm welcome." Naruto said with a grin not caring about the other genin.

"Hey look who finally showed up!" They heard a familiar shout from within the crowd as Kiba inuzuka came out of it followed by the rest of team 8.

"Hey Kiba I'm guessing you were the first to show up?" Naruto asked which Kiba nodded to.

"Yup… so Naruto I heard you went on a date with our resident hyuuga is that true?" He asked with a sly grin which caused Hinata and Naruto to look at each other with a small blush remembering the night.

(Flashback No Jutsu)

It had been about a week after Naruto took Ino on a date and Temari and Naruto were simply lounging around after a morning of training.

"Sooo I think Hinata would like a date." Temari told Naruto causing the boy to raise an eyebrow at her.

"Don't give me that look it's been a week since your last date I know your putting them off." She told naruto who sighed at seeing he'd been caught.

"I talked to Ino and we're fine with it we both agreed it should be Hinata next." Temari told naruto.

"Are you guy's forming a circle now?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes." Was all she said causing the teen to roll his eyes as he got up stretching.

"Take a shower before you even think about going to the hyuga complex!" Temari shouted at Naruto as he headed upstairs. Once the boy was washed and freshly dressed he headed out the front door taking to the rooftops. Thankfully he didn't have to go far as the Hyuga clan complex was very close to the Namikaze Complex.

"Halt state your name and purpose!" A Guard shouted once Naruto got to the gates.

"Ah I'm Naruto Namikaze here to meet with Hisashi Hyuga." Naruto called out as one of the two hyuga activated their bakugan doing a quick check on Naruto one of them disappeared heading into the complex. Naruto stood awkwardly for a while before the guard returned.

"You don't have an appointment however Hisashi-sama has granted you an audience." The guard announced as the gates opened allowing the teenager inside as he made his way towards the clan heads office having been here with minato many times. Knocking on the door he waited patiently for the sounds of hisashi's voice.

"Come in!" His voice called out as Naruto opened the traditional door bowing to the clan head as he took a seat before the man. "Naruto… what brings you here?" He asked staring down the young teen.

"Hisashi-sama I've come to make a request with you." Naruto said as Hisashi barely raised an eyebrow.

"Go on I don't have all day Naruto." Hisashi told Naruto who gulped thinking of the right wording that his mother had taught him.

"Hisashi-sama I request from you as the father of Hinata the right to court her and take her on a picnic tonight." Naruto said bowing low catching the man off guard who stared at Naruto in contempt for a moment.

"You know what you're asking me right Naruto and I know of your situation so please explain why I should accept?" He asked if it wasn't for the formality of the situation He might have placed his head on his hand in thought.

"Yes I do Hisashi-sama I have known Hinata for quite sometime now having been in the same academy class together and Aiko and Hanabi being best friends. I know she was saddened when word about me and Temari became wide spread within our class. However I think it would help her self-confidence and I like your daughter a lot sir, I would like to see if we're compatible." Naruto said without leaving the bow he had placed himself in the seconds it took for Hisashi to think felt like minutes to Naruto.

"Rise young Naruto I accept your request however know this if you take her innocence, treat her with disrespect, or even harm a hair on her head you will no longer be able to have kids do you understand?" He asked as Naruto rose he activated his Bakugan to get his point across.

"Yes I do Hisashi-sama thank you for understanding." He said with another bow as Hisashi dismissively waved his hand.

"What are you waiting for go ask Hinata and be on with it." He said as Naruto rose leaving the room not noticing as Hisashi kept his bakugan activated watching the boy as he made his way through the complex. Once he arrived at the garden he searched for Hinata.

The girl had one of the same hobbies as Naruto, Gardening they talked about it every now and again when ever they watch Aiko and Hanabi play at the park. Though most of the time it was Kushina and Hitomi or Hinata and Hanabi's mother that watched the twin.

Spotting his reason for being there he walked up as he watched her planting an orchid which Naruto had learned was one of her favorite plants second only to lavender plants.

"Um hey Hinata-chan!" Naruto causing Hinata to jump taking a second to compose herself she turned to see the young teen offering a smile.

"H-hello N-Naruto-kun is Aiko-chan her to play with Hanabi-chan?" She asked

With a small head tilt having expecting to see the young excitable girl.

"A-ah no actually I'm here to ask you something." He said looking away to try and hide his blush as Hinata rose an eyebrow looking at the young teen.

"Well ask away N-Naruto-kun." She said with a soft smile.

"Have you heard of CRA?" Naruto asked causing Hinata to place a finger to her chin.

"Well yes I had to learn about it when learning clan politics however due to the current size of the hyuuga clan we didn't go into depth into it. Why do you ask N-naruto-kun?" she asked at the end as Naruto rubbed his head trying to think of the right phrasing.

"Well um to put it simply the namikaze clan was once a rather predominant clan as was the Uzumaki clan however after the third and second shinobi war respectfully it's pretty much just my family that's left of both clans… As such I was placed under CRA I'm saying all this because well um I was wanting to ask if you want to go on a picnic with me." He said Hinata's features softened understanding why he explained everything.

"You don't want me to think you're unfaithful to Temari." She said softly as Naruto nodded.

"Not to say I don't like you either however currently Temari is my fiance after all however she was the one to push me to do this with you." He said with a small smile which Hinata returned.

"Sure N-Naruto-kun I'd be happy to go on a picnic with you." She said as Naruto formed a face splitting grin.

"Awesome! I'll be back at 8 does that work for you!" He said as Hinata nodded which was all that kept her from fainting in joy as Naruto waved heading to prepare for the picnic as Hinata skipped happily to her room to prepare for the night. The moment came pretty quickly quicker than the two expected.

Naruto arrived at the gates wearing burnt orange pants with a black dress shirt and an orange tie. He also had a picnic basket in hand and a blanket. The guard's looked him over motioning for him to wait. He didn't have to wait long as Hinata arrived wearing a simply lavender kimono and a light amount of makeup.

"You look really nice tonight Hinata-chan." He said with a smile which she returned as she accepted Naruto's outstretched arm.

"You do as well N-Naruto-kun." She said as they started to walk through the streets of konoha. Naruto motioned for her to hold tight which didn't take much prusading on Hinata's part as he shushined them up to the top of his father's head.

"It's really beautiful up here Naruto-kun." She said softly as Naruto began to lay out the picnic before them.

"It is isn't it? I'm not sure why, maybe it's because he's my dad but I've always felt drawn to head up here whenever I'm sad… it's just comforting looking over the village it makes me want to protect it with everything I've got." He said as a small grin formed as his conviction grew. It was hard for Hinata not to have a soft smile as well as she sat up the blanket once everything was laid out.

"And around this time is the best to be up here." He said as he began to eat the food he had prepared earlier which included some of Hinata's favorites like Cinnamon buns.

"Why's that Naruto-kun?" She asked as Naruto simply grinned at her however he didn't say anything as he simply motioned for her to wait. Suppressing a shrug the girl began to eat as she watched the town. And that's when she saw it Konoha bathed in the setting sun painting the village in oranges, reds, and even purples.

"It's so beautiful Naruto-kun." She said with a gasp as Naruto simply nodded.

"Yeah I know." He said as they ate in silence before they returned to the Hyuga clan compound departing to continue preparing for the chunin exams.

(Kai!)

"Yeah we did it was pretty nice." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head as another team entered the room.

"Look who it is… Dobe." Sasuke said as he was followed by Yakamo and Ino.

"Teme." Naruto said simply as he raised a hand out which sasuke happily returned.

"Naruto-kun!" Ino said as she hugged the teenager who happily returned the hug.

"Ino-chan." He said with a grin as he returned the hug backing away she turned to Temari as the two stared at each other before they nodded. Turning to the door once more they spotted yet another team entering.

"Sasuke-kun!" Came the shouts of a familiar pink haired girl as she was followed by Sai and Shino.

"Is everyone competing this year?" Choji asked Shikamaru who simply shrugged.

"There's been rumors we were all going to compete but I guess it's true." Ino told the two as she waved to Sakura who waved back.

"I've heard people calling us the rookie 12 as this is the first time an entire academy classes attended the chunin exams." Naruto said as everyone mingled.

"Jeez you guys are making quite the ruckus don't you even realize everyone is staring at you?" A voice asked as everyone stopped staring at the person who approached them. He had onyx eyes and ash-grey hair, which he kept in a ponytail. He had black rimmed circular glasses he also wore a dark purple shirt with a high collar a white under-shirt, and dark purple pants with a white cloth waistband. Lastly he was wearing dark purple fingerless gloves with armoured plates on the back of the hand and a blue forehead protector.

"I'm sorry but we don't quite know who you are…" Naruto spoke for the group staring at the man something felt off but he couldn't quite place why.

"Oh where are my manners my name is Kabato I'm assuming this is the first time you guys are taking the exams." Kabato said as all the rookies nodded.

"How many times have you taken them?" Kiba asked with Kabato chuckled rubbing the back of his head.

"Well this is the 6th and hopefully last time I've taken the exams." He said sheepishly as Kiba laughed.

"6? You must really suck." He said as Kabato chuckled with him.

"Perhaps but the exams are also rather hard a lot of genin die every year." He said seriously which caused Kiba to stare at him in shock this shook up all the other rookies.

"But not to worry the exams are different year however a lot of time the contestants aren't I've actually collected a lot of information on everyone." He said as he pulled out a deck of cards.

"Cards?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah cards these cards contain information on every genin here their strengths and such and their specialties the same goes for every Village." He said picking out a card showing Konoha which included information like most common Nature affinity most common specialty etc.

"I can show you guy's information on specific people if you want." He said with a grin as Sasuke thought for a minute.

"Rock Lee, Naruto Namikaze, and Gaara." He said getting a raised eyebrow from the boy.

'Naruto be carefully I have a bad feeling about this boy… no one should have this much information about everyone.' Came the rumbling voice of hiruzen.

'Yeah I have a bad feeling about him as well.' Naruto said as he cut off the connection seeing Him pull out a card.

"Rock Lee from konoha he has below average stats on everything besides Taijutsu which is far above most genin even some chunin… He's taken 64 D-ranks missions and 5 C-rank missions even 1 B-rank mission. His teammates are Tenten and Neji Hyuga their jounin Sensei is Maito Gai." He read off putting the card back into the deck. This sparked some red flags in Naruto's mind instantly mission files were kept top secret as to protect the client and the genin team. No one should know the number of missions anyone has taken.

"Naruto Namikaze of Konoha. He has above average Taijutsu and speed, he also has above average skills in ninjutsu however he has no skill so to speak in genjutsu. His team consists of Shikamaru Nara and Temari, They've taken 29- D-rank missions one B-rank mission and one A-rank mission. He also appears to be skilled in kenjutsu." Kabato finished returning the card to his deck.

"Finally Gaara of suna. He has no listed skills in anything besides Ninjutsu, His team consists of Kankurō, and Matsuri. They have completed 15 C-rank missions, 4 B-rank missions and 1 A rank mission however Gaara has always returned without a scratch." This further proved Naruto's suspicions as he could maybe understand Konoha teams however Suna teams were different.

"What's the composition of Nations fighting this year?" Shino asked as he pushed up his glasses.

"Well the majority of teams consists of Konoha with 50 teams, Kusagakure is the second largest with 10 teams, Kirigakure sent 3 teams and there's also 3 teams from their faction of rebels which is surprising. Komogakure sent a single team this year and so did Sunagakure, and Amegakure sent 3 teams. There is otogakure which sent 2 teams, their rather small and new hidden village so I don't expect much from them. And lastly there's a single team from Takigakure. So overall there's 222 genin from different nations around Hi no Kuni." Kabato finished as movement caught Naruto's eyes looking up he saw what could only be described as a mummy.

The teenager had bandages covering most of his face, leaving only his left eye uncovered. He also wore a large poncho with long sleeves, a snake patterned scarf around his neck, a straw raincoat protruding from the back of his scarf, and a large metallic object on his right arm.

The boy charged forward throwing a punch at Kabato who dodged punch by leaning backwards however Naruto's ears picked up on the vibration of chakra in the air. What happened next surprised everyone as Kabato's glasses cracked and he hunched over throwing up.

"That's for overlooking Otogakure watch your back." He said simply as he turned to move back into the crowd only for a puff of smoke grab everyone's attention at the front of the large room.

"Shut the fuck up and take your seats, and I swear to kami if I see anyone of fighting I will kick you out of the chunin exams." Came a gruff voice as the smoke cleared to reveal a group of chunin lead by one man. The man had a large, and imposing figure, which he complements with a rugged head and face covered with old wounds and scars. His head was covered by his hiate-ate which was worn like a bandana. He also wears a darker version of the standard uniform of the Intelligence Division, along with a black trench coat and gloves.

Everyone was shuffled around the room and assigned to different seats and every team was split up. Naruto was sat between a teenager with short, tufty blue hair, and dark eyes. He also has pointed, shark-like teeth. He wears square, black-rimmed glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants. He wore a Hiate-ate with the kanji for rebel "反" on it.

On his right side was a young, dark-skinned Kumo-nin with short, spiky, white hair and dark eyes accentuated with eyelashes curving upwards from the corners. He wears a dark outfit consisting of an overlong shirt with a hood, with red bandage hand guards, Kumogakure shin guards, and a black hiate-ate along with a Kumogakure flak jacket and was sucking on a lollipop. He also had a rather large sword on his back which looked way too big for him.

"I am Ibiki Morino and I will be the protractor for the first section of the chunin exams and I am your worst enemy. The rules are simple you will be taking a written exam the protractors around the room will be watching you. For what you may ask to see if you cheat. If you are caught cheating 5 times, you will be disqualified and forced to leave. You will have 45 minutes to complete nine questions with a tenth question once the 45 minutes are up any questions no? The test begins now!" He shouted and instantly the sound of papers being flipped could be heard.

However pencils weren't scratching on said paper and Naruto understood why as he stared down at the paper. The questions were tough way harder than any genin and even most chunin could realistically be able to answer. He could hear people muttering to themselves trying to figure out what was going on. Looking around the room he noticed a few people already writing. Frowning he thought about the meaning of the exam before it clicked.

'So this is an exam to test your ability to gather information huh?' He thought as he suppressed a grin as he thought for a minute one the best approach. Leaning back in his chair he looked up and saw a kunai flying past his face hitting the desk behind him.

"Examinee 132 you and your team are disqualified!" Ibiki shouted as a Konoha genin cursed getting glares from his team mates. Naruto kinda felt bad but he didn't spend time dwelling on the loss of a team. Tapping his chin Naruto looked around as he spotted hinata and sasuke as well as who he assumed was Neji using their respective doujutsu. Sakura was answering all the questions with what looked to be no difficulty but that was expected.

'I'm not really suited for information gathering at least none of my jutsu are stealth based. Well I could…" Scanning the room one last time he spotted what looked to be a chunin in the crowd with the answers. Naruto reached into his pockets knocking out 3 smoke bombs which exploded filling the room. Creating a Kage Bushin it quickly moved down and swapped papers with the chunin and quickly sent is up to the real Naruto.

"If I find out whoever did that your dead!" Shouted Ibiki in the smoke as he used a Fūton Jutsu to quickly clear the smoke which also cleared the smoke of the bushin being dispersed. Naruto sat innocently enough as he pretended to finish writing the questions and set his pencil down.

'That wasn't bad kid maybe not the most discreet but it would work in the field.' He thought looking at Naruto who at this point had placed his head on the table. The rest of the test went by pretty quickly with most notable techniques being a kid using mirrors and a Suna genin using a puppet to get the answers.

"Alright times up! Pencils down!" Ibiki shouted waking Naruto up from his nap. "Before I give you the tenth question let me lay down some rules. If you fail this question no matter how many points you have you will be failed." He announced as genin began to talk amongst themselves.

"Quite! I'm not done if you fail the tenth question you will also never be aloud to take the chunin exams ever again." He announced letting it sit for a moment before a flurry of shouts made its way through the room.

"What that's bullshit there's people who've taken the exam's multiple times you can't do this!" Kiba shouted from a couple rows behind Naruto as Ibiki chuckled.

"Yes I can they've just been fortunate enough to never have had me as the protractor if you want to leave you may but know you will be disqualified." Ibiki announced with a finality as teams began to get up and leave left and right. Naruto heard the komo ninja muttering to his right.

"And if I fail Bī-sensei will be mad at me and he might just kick me of the team." Naruto cut him out as he looked over at the kiri rebel genin who looked just as nervous he noticed the rest of the Rookie 15 was pretty shaken up as well steeling himself as more teams left he slowly raised his hand down catching his team's attention.

'Huh I heard the brat had more conviction I'm surprised he's backing down.' Ibiki thought as he stared at Naruto to see what he would do next and was mildly surprised as the teen slammed his hand down on his desk causing everyone to stop and look at him.

"You're rules are bullshit and everyone knows it but you know what? Even if I fail this question even if I can't move past genin I will still further my shinobi career and become hokage dattebayo!" Naruto shouted. "I don't need the rank of chunin to prove how kick ass of a genin I am." He finished as everyone that was on the fence gained the confidence they needed.

'Huh maybe this brat is special like Kakashi has been bragging about… He's got guts and conviction he can even make people look up to him, I think he would be a good chunin.' Ibiki thought staring down the namikaze once more before looking over the room.

"Last chance to leave." He announced waiting for anyone to lose their nerve seeing no one did he nodded. "In that care… you all pass!" He announced once more getting shouts from the genin present. Holding up his hand the room quickly quieted down.

"This was a test of not only your ability to gather information but also your conviction. Being a chunin you'll be leading other shinobi on missions almost all of which will be dangerous. There will be times where your decisions can cost lives and you will have to live with that. And there will be times where you can be captured and tortured for information and you can take the easy road and tell the enemy everything or you can get tortured." He said removing his Hitai-ate to reveal his scarred head which caused what he was saying to sink in with every genin.

"Being a shinobi past genin is more than just doing simple chores it's fighting on the front lines and protecting your comrades and you have to live with losing them." He finished as a large ball crashed through the window opening to reveal a banner which said "Announcing the protractor of the second chunin exams. The sexy and single Anko Mitarashi." With a woman standing in front of the banner with her fist pumped in the air.

The woman who Naruto assumed was anko was fairly tall with a slender frame. She has light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her hair was black with a violet tint which was styled in a short, spiky, fanned-ponytail. She was wearing a fitted mesh body suit that covers her from her neck down to her thighs. Over this, she was wearing a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam and a pocket on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt, and pale grey shin guards. In addition to the typical hiate-ate, she also wore a small pendant that looks like a snake fang and a wristwatch.

"Anko your early." Ibiki said with a deadpan from behind the banner causing Anko to defeat a little bit before counting the genin in the room.

"And your losing your touch Ibiki I count 90 genin still in the room." She said rather annoyed as Ibiki chuckled.

"Or maybe they're just a good crop this year." He said glancing once more at Naruto as Anko simply rolled her eyes.

"Once I'm done that number will be cut down by more than half now then! I am Anko Mitarashi and I will be the protractor of the second exam. You have 10 minutes to meet me at Training grounds if your late your disqualified!" She announced before heading out the door leaving dumbstruck genin.

"Well what are you waiting for? Get the hell out of my room!" Ibiki shouted causing the remaining genin to get up and follow Anko out the window causing a traffic jam. Team 7 met at the door as Shikamaru rolled his eyes at everyone trying to leave the same way as Anko.

"They know there's doors right and less troublesome ways of leaving a room." He said as the team left the room Temari shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe but their probably so hyper focused on winning the exams they didn't realize it." She said as Naruto nodded. The team made a quick dash to Training grounds 44 which was filling up with genin teams. Once 10 minutes was up Anko waved her hands as chunin blocked off access to the rest of the 5 teams which had yet to make it.

"Alright gather around gaki this is training grounds 44 otherwise known as the forest of death. Why you might ask? Because it is crawling with some of the most dangerous fauna in konoha your goal is these two scrolls right here." She said pulling out a brown and a white scroll from her trench coat with the kanji for earth and heaven on them.

"Each team will be given one of these scrolls once you've collected both of them you're to head to the tower in the center of the forest. You have five days to reach it if you don't tough luck. Killing is allowed and as such we will require you to sign waivers." She said motioning to some chunin to start handing out the paperwork.

"I bet this exam will be super easy we'll pass no problem." Everyone heard Kiba say and they couldn't believe how stupid he was to say that so loud. Anko grin as before anyone could react or even see she pulled out a kunai throwing it past kiba slicing his cheek open a little bit.

"Is that so gaki? Quite a bit of confidence in you I hope it holds up." She said licking the blood off his cheek from a mortified Kiba.

"Here you dropped this." Said a Kuna genin who passed back the kunai with a rather large tongue.

'Naruto be careful with that one… for some reason I'm getting a horrible feeling about them.' Hiruzen said from deep within Naruto's mind who simply nodded.

'Yeah for some reason they smell of snakes.' He said half absently back to hiruzen who simply widened his eyes.

'Naruto avoid them at all costs and as soon as you can, we need to talk to your father.' Hiruzen said causing Naruto to internally raise an eyebrow before he cut off the connection as he and his team filled out their paperwork.

Once it was filled out and handed in they were assigned a gate and a scroll as they itched to get a move on.

"Alright guys I say we get to as close to the center as we can that way we're not to far away from the tower once we have both scrolls." Shikamaru said as everyone nodded.

"I'll send my clones out in different directions disguised as us if they dispel we know what areas to avoid." Naruto added as shikamaru nodded.

"That'll probably be for the best these exams are already turning out to be troublesome." He said rubbing the back of his head only to be hit in the back of his head by Temari.

"Whatever you baka you know what you signed up for." She said as a loud ringing sound was made by the speakers.

"Alright everyone the second portion of the chunin exams begins… now!" Shouted anko as the gates shot open and team 7 shot forwards into the trees. Once they were far enough in Naruto made 5 teams of clones who hedged into team 7 which promptly shoot off in multiple directions with the real team 7 heading in their own direction.

(Back with Ibiki)

Ibiki was busy picking up the papers as he was supposed to clean up the classroom for the academy to use. Picking up Naruto's he was surprised to see a note written on the bottom of the paper.

"Dear Ibiki I believe that the genin Kabato is a spy he had to much information to be anything besides that including information on the amount of missions people have taken." Frowning Ibiki summoned a chunin and handed him the paper.

"Take that to Minato-sama see what he thinks of this." He said before going back to collecting the papers.

And the first portion of the chunin exams is over! Next chapter will be mostly focused on the second portion and more than likely include the prelims as well. Will Orochimaru make an appearance? Perhaps that's still yet to be seen.

I hope you guys enjoyed the date with hinata I didn't plan to write it as long as I did but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to get out of it. Not to say I didn't like the Ino date but there wasn't as much to get out of it as there was Hinata's.

I don't think I really have anything else to say to please Favorite follow and review for more of this story and without further ado Naruto Uzumaki-namikaze101 out!
