Chapter 3

Three years have passed since that fateful day when Naruto was chased from the village. The day Kyubi's power was restored to the world. The night when the shadow came over Konoha and it became a ghost town. It is today that the chunnin exams start once more due to the interruptions last year. Tsunade quietly sat at her desk in her office doing the paperwork for the exams. Going through the rather large stack of papers she noticed that all of them were just requests to be placed in the exam by different villages "Leaf, Sand, Stone, Sound, Mist, Falls...SHADOW?"

This was unprecedented! It was known that a team from the village of hidden shadow had not participated in the exam in over a hundred years! Strangely enough no one knew why they only that they were banned for 100 years from participating. Today marked the end of the ban. Carefully reviewing the form they had submitted their symbol immediately caught her attention. The symbol was a black crescent moon with the symbol for death placed on it. Shadow had entered only one genin team. Who the hell did they think were? Only one team. Conceited bastards!

On the outskirts of Konoha three people in onyx black cloaks glided along the road without making a noise. They were so quiet that if you weren't looking right at them you would swear they did not exist. Gliding through the forest if you listened close enough to the group you could hear them whispering among themselves. "just remember not to kill them to fast we don't want brother to be bored."

Five hours passed and the trio had arrived at the gates of Konoha. They were made of a special wood that made them next to invincible and had Konoha in kanji on the middle. The ANBU stationed in the watch towers were very startled when they saw the trio standing calmly at the gates and they had not noticed till then. "State your business!" From under the hood a demonic sounding voice spoke out "We're here for the chunnin exam fools." Greatly annoyed at the remark the ANBU made their way down from the tower and asked what village they were from. "We are the team from hidden shadow dumbass." By now their voices had started to affect the guards and a cold sweat could be seen running down their necks.

"Hokage-sama!" Tsunade who was comfortably sleeping at her desk was woken in a shout by the now in pain ANBU. Letting her anger die down she asked "what is it?" "A group of people are outside of the gates requesting to be let in"

"Did they give i.d.?"

"No, but they claimed to be from a village called hidden shadow."

"WHAT, THEY'RE HERE ALREADY?"

"You know them?"

"Yes know let them in before they get angry and send them here!"

Back at the gates word had gotten through that the strange people were to be let through the gates. Without even waiting for permission the three people teleported past the gates and into the Hokage tower. The creepy thing was instead of a normal teleport they just melted into their shadows. Literally!

Inside of the tower Tsunade paced around bored waiting for the team to show up. Suddenly something showed at the edge of her senses. 3 chakra signatures were standing in the room and she did not notice they were there until now? "Come out I know you're there!"

In a cold tone one of them replied "You know nothing we just grew bored waiting for you settle down." Although inwardly ready to kill these brats she chose to ignore it and began to ask the standard questions. "Are you just here for the exams?"

"Yes"

"How long do you plan to stay?"

"Don't know."

"Where will you stay?"

"Don't know."

Tsunade was getting more and more irritated by the second with cockiness of these three genin. Only Naruto could get away with speaking to her like that! None of these punks were him! Naruto... that thought brought a very pained look to her eyes. A pained look that was quickly noted by the three genins. "err....Hokage?" "What?" She snapped irritably. At this point even they realized they were pushing the limits of their luck. Quietly under their breath each muttered an apology and looked back at her.

Her temper died fast and she managed to calm down somewhat. She decided to get strait to the matter at hand and find a place for them to stay. Suddenly she realized there was only one free place the manor where the sand siblings now resided. To quote the famous lazy nin of Konoha...This would be troublesome.
