The Chuunin Exam: Part II

"I am known as Anko. I will be supervising the next part of the Chuunin exam. Each team will receive one of the three scroll, Heaven, Earth, and Underworld. You will need all three of the scrolls to pass this part of the exam. Teams will need to fight each other to gain the other scrolls. If the team you beat has the same scroll as you, well...tough luck." Anko told the newer boys and reminded the older ones.

"And also, another something I added, there will be 2 teams of three Chuunin out there with you. They will have two of the three scrolls with them. If you beat them and they admit it, then they will give you there two scrolls, but be warned you will be attacked by them if they meet you. If you beat a Chuunin, they will tell you when they give up. Once they give up, you let them go from any ninjutsu you have them in. If they faint, you still get to keep there scrolls. If you seriously injure any Chuunin, much less kill, then you will be disqualified." The jounin stated, as the two groups of adult Chuunins came, standing by Anko's side.

"You will have fice days to complete your task. That should be plenty of time. You will find food and water on your on. Oh...one more thing, I need all of you to sign this form. This form says that if any of you die, it is not my responsibility." The girl shinobi smiled and chuckled lightly in an innocent way, handing out the forms.

"Wow, new rules." Sasuke whispered to his team. "Let's hope you weren't just eating ramen while you were supposed to be training, dope."

"Shut-up Sasuke." Was all Naruto could say.

"Hey, hey. We shouldn't be fighting. This is a time for teamwork." Sakura said, trying to act more mature and grown up.

"Chuunins?! This exam just gets more and more troublesome doesn't it." Shikamaru commented.

"Shikamaru, show some spirit. Come on," Ino said, trying to get his teammates into this exam.

"Ino, I didn't bring extra food." Chouji complained.

"Ahhh." Ino groaned in a stressful tone.

"Hey, Akamaru, how strong are these Chuunin?" Kiba asked.

"Arf! ARF!" Akamaru answered in his usual language.

"Seriously? There probably as good as that sand guy? Dammit." Kiba cursed out loud. "Oh well, I guess that idea is scratched out. I guess we shouldn't go looking for them and we should try to avoid them."

"Hm." Shino replied.

Hinata just stood there staring at Naruto. Every once in a while Naruto would look at her, smile and wave. Hinata would always blush and look away when that happened, but she heard Kiba's remark about the strength of the Chuunin. She was frightened at that point, but not like when she was fight Neji the last Chuunin Exam, for some strange reason.

"Hmmmm. Chuunins, eh?" Lee remarked.

Neji just stood there, looking for all of the people that he wanted to fight like Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara.

The ex-Sand ninjas were just standing there watching...no observing the other ninjas. Gaara stood there eyeing Naruto especially, remembering the words he said at the end of the last Chuunin Exam.

/ FLASHBACK /

"You've lived a life of loneliness haven't you." Naruto wondered aloud as he inched his way to Gaara. "I used to be like that, until I found my precious people... until I found my precious people...precious people."

/ END OF FLASHBACK /

The words echoed like a broken record. 'I've apologized to Kankuro and Temari for being so ignorant and cruel. I also told them that I finally realized that they cared about me and I should treat them better. They were scared when I said that. They thought I had some type of really strong fever that was making me say weird things.' Gaara told himself inside as he smiled a bit, unlike usual. Kankuro saw him smile and asked him if he was all right.

"Fine, just fine." Was Gaara's answer.

"Now...GO!" Anko shouted as the ninjas moved out and went there separate ways into the Forest of Death.

--= END OF SCENE =--

During the very first day of this part of the exam, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura ran into Shikamaru and Kiba's teams at different times of the days. They called treaties because after all, they wanted to fight each other in the preliminary rounds. So they decided not to attack each other.

"Hey, Naruto, you going to look for those Chuunins?" Shikamaru asked when they met up.

"Probably. It'll be fun to test out my skills and see how strong I am compared to them." Naruto grinned. As the two talked, Ino and Sakura began fighting over Sasuke again and Chouji just listened to Naruto's conversation with Shikamaru. "You?" Naruto asked back.

"Probably not, it'll be too troublesome to do that. We'll just find another way to get the scrolls." Shikamaru answered. "Well, we'd better go. Ino, come on, we're leaving them. Let's go Chouji."

"Bye." Naruto waved.

Kiba asked the same thing and Naruto gave the same answer. Hinata blushed when she saw Naruto go over to her and tell her that she looked beautiful. Shino just stood there. When Kiba's team left, it was beginning to grow dark so Sakura set up camp while the other two went fishing. They each slept in shifts. One person stayed awake for the first shift then they would switch with another person. The next morning, the three set off in search of some people to fight and take scrolls from. While traveling, they were stopped by three chuunins.

'Chuunins, already?' Naruto thought, as he grinned. The Chuunins made a few hand seals and then shouted out, "Trio Elemental no jutsu." As lightning, fire and earth were combined and thrown at the Genins, Naruto did his hand seals, but and then shouted, "Invisible Wall!" as what looked like a moving glass wall appeared in front of the frantic team 7.

"hm." One chuunins said as he ran with superb speed behind the three and performed a rather weak lightning technique. The three were knocked off balance, not hurt just knocked off balance, and during that time that they felt dizzy, the same chuunin ran up to Sasuke and took the scroll from him. Then they ran off.

When Naruto mind cleared, he was angry at himself for letting this happen, "Dammit" He cursed aloud. "DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!" He repeated scolding himself mentally. 'Why didn't you stop him? You could've won and you didn't. Oh my gosh. Your pathetic!'

Sasuke was doing the same thing, cursing out loud and scolding inside. Sakura just sat there helplessly. After they let out all of their anger and began to calm down, they decided that they had to get at least one scroll today and set out in search of their first victim.

--= END OF SCENE =--

By the last day, Naruto and his team had 2 of the three scrolls. They had stopped to rest for a little while and Naruto was sent to look for water. Then, while he was on his way back to their camp, he had tripped over a wire and realized that it had sounded an alarm. Three chuunins then showed up in front of him. 'These are the same people as last time.' Naruto thought to himself. 'I can't fight them alone, I've got to some how distract them but how? Nothing will work unless...' Naruto then grinned.

/ FLASHBACK /

'I'm beginning to think all adults are effected by this' Naruto thought to himself as he undid his jutsu.

/ END OF FLASHBACK /

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU," Naruto shouted. Then, all of his clones yelled a, "Henge!" as they all transformed into the beautiful naked girls. "Harem no jutsu." The real Naruto grinned. The clones gathered around the three chuunins, trying to get grab them and pull at them and rub them and all. They succeeded in making the three of them faint with nose bleeds. Naruto laughed and undid his jutsus. He then searched the three for their scrolls.

"They have all three scrolls!" Naruto said, smiling uncontrollably as he walked back to camp to tell his teammates of his success. They ended up keeping the two extras hoping that it would keep a few more teams from passing.

--= END OF SCENE =--

By the end of the second part of the Chuunin exams, 6 teams from Konoha and 1 team from sound.

Finally, the examiner in charge of the preliminary rounds came. He asked if anyone wanted to leave and Chouji said that he did for he said he needed to train more.

First Match: Gouchi (Konoha rookie) vs. Kankuro

The two came down, both grinning.

"Begin," The examiner said as the pair jumped back. Gouchi took out a kunei and threw it at Kankuro. As Kankuro dodged the attack, Gouchi quickly jumped above Kankuro and made hand seals, "Kaiton: Fire Dragon no Jutsu!" he shouted as a big fire dragon came out of his mouth rushing towards Kankuro. The fire dragon hit, and when the flames cleared, all that was left were the remains of a doll. Gouchi quickly turned around to see Kankuro jumping towards Gouchi about to punch him. But Gouch just dodged. He grabbed Kankuro's hand as Kankuro flew by and threw him against the wall with all of his might. Then he did the same hand seals and shouted out the same technique. The dragon whirled towards the shocked Kankuro, who was hit. When the smoke finally cleared. It showed Kankuro, lying there unconscious. Gouchi smirked as Temari gasped. Gaara clenched his fist when he saw that his elder brother had been hurt so bad and he swore that Gouchi would die. Gouchi won the first round and raced up to brag to his teammates.

"Next round...Uchiha Sasuke vs. Zaku." The examiner reported.

"Beat this guy...Sasuke." Naruto ordered. Sasuke only smirked.

"Yes. I can finally get my revenge for him breaking my arms last chuunin exam." Zaku whispered, smirking as well.

The two made there way down and the examiner began the match.

Sasuke started out with hand seals, "Sharingan," he said as his eyes turned red and dots were growing in them. Zaku began, then, with his air slicer which barely even touched the incredibly fast Sasuke. Zaku then moved his head in order to see where Sasuke was but it was impossible. Zaku couldn't keep up and was punched 5 times before he realized it. Sasuke then did hand seal of his own and shouted, "Kaiton: Fireball no jutsu." As a big fireball was spit out and headed for Zaku. Zaku was nearly hit by it but in the end dodged it. Then Sasuke continued with his admirable speed and kicked Zaku then jumped in the air and performed hand seals yet again, but different ones. "Kaiton: Fire Missles no Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as missles were shot at Zaku. Zaku shot them down with his air slicer as he heard another "Kaiton: Fire Missles no Jutsu." And saw them coming at him again. There was still one from above that he didn't see when he saw the newly made missles. He began shooting the new missles down when he realized that he forgot the last one but it was too late. He was fried. "Shosha (winner) Uchiha Sasuke." The examiner said as Sasuke made his was up to his team.

The next few matches somewhat bored everybody. Then finally, it was Sakura's turn. Sakura walked down confidently with her opponent, Tenten. When their match began, Sakura took out a kunei and threw it at Tenten who blocked it with her own kunei. Tenten began throwing her weapons at Sakura who only stood there doing hand seals. Then, when she was ready, she said, "Suiton: Water cannon no jutsu." And a water ball was headed toward Tenten and wiping away all of the weapons in its path. Tenten was hit and everyone was shocked that Sakura had done something other than Taijutsu or Genjutsu. Tenten therefore lost and everyone, even Neji and Lee, who still likes her, acknowledged that she had gotten stronger. Naruto was impressed, but didn't say anything, which wasn't like him.

Then, the examiner broke the silence and shocked minds by calling out the next match, "Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuuga Hinata."
