CHAPTER 7: YEAR 2- TEST #1!
The 12 genin walked over to the front entrance of the academy, keeping an eye out on the competition. Looking round, Sasuke saw two familiar faces. "Well there's Kankuro and Temari..."
"WHERE?" Naruto exclaimed, looking left and right.
Sasuke pointed over in their direction, making a quiet whisper to Naruto and Sakura. "I don't see Gaara..."
"You're right, Sasuke," Sakura whispered, standing on her tiptoes to look closer. "Where do you think he is?"
"No idea..." muttered Sasuke, tightening his fist and making a cured smile. "But I was hoping that he would be here, because I wanted a rematch. But its strange...it seems they have another sand-nin on their team."
"Huh?" Naruto said in wonder, looking over at the sand genin again. Sure enough, hey now had another member. Much taller, with 2 giant kunai on his back, with full Hitai-ate on. "Well," Naruto began. "He looks scarier, but I don't think any sand genin is stronger than Gaara..."
"ATTENTION!" screamed a Chuunin at the entrance gate. "My name is Hisashi." The man said, taking a tiny bow. He was tall with extremely baggy clothing. His Hitai-ate sagged on his weight, creating a hunched over look.
"Little self absorbed isn't he?" Kiba chuckled. Akamaru, the tiny dog resting on his head, gave an answering "Arf!"
"Anyways," Hisashi began. "I am the instructor for the first part of the exam. IF you want to pass, then do as I say..." he smiled. "Now, your first instructions. I will position Genin teams around the academy...and when I scream go, your mission will start."
"And that would be...?" Ryu shouted, taking his usual straight-to-the- point attitude.
Hisashi glared at Ryu. "Your objective is simple. Find room 402b. When you get there, the exam will start."
"THAT'S IT!?" Naruto screamed in amazement. "WE HAVE TO FIND A DAMN ROOM!?"
"..." Hisashi gave Naruto a discerning stare. "Yes, find room 402b. Because we have outside grounds of the academy, the entire 2 square miles surrounding the building is blocked off to everyone except those involved with the exams. Good luck."
Hisashi began to motion Genin teams to their starting positions. Eventually the Leaf teams were split up, along with the shadow team. Soon, Leaf Team 7 was in position.
"Well... here we go again." Sakura chuckled.
"At least its not a written exam!" Naruto laughed.
"ON YOUR MARK!" Hisashi shouted. The genin teams located all over the building began to take their places. "GET SET..." Hisashi looked around at the genin teams, ready to go. "This will be most entertaining..." he chuckled. "GOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Every genin team on the premises leapt into action, breaking through the open windows and doors. They ran throughout the building in search of their objective. Unfortunately...it was much tougher than they thought.
"We've been searching for hours!" Exclaimed Ten as she, Lee, and Neji walked throughout the halls. "This is starting to bug me..." she said, putting her hands behind her head.
"Don't worry Ten Ten." Lee smiled. "We'll find it soon enough."
Neji gave an answering nod. "Something just isn't right here..." Neji thought to himself. And that's when he got a brilliant idea.

Walking throughout the hallways of the foreign school, Ryu was beginning to get a little peeved. "And I thought OUR school sucked." Ryu complained walking on through the deserted pathway.
"Ugh, would you please stop complaining, Ryu?" Ill asked, beginning to get a bit peeved himself. I just wish we could find the damn room...Geez, who would make their school this hard to navigate!?"
The group sat down in the hallway to take a breather. They looked hopelessly at one another, and all of them sighed. Ryu began to drift off to sleep, and Ill just stat pounding the ground with his fist. Kenshi sat thinking about the day's events, what the announcer said, and other things. He soon remembered what Ill had said a bit before: "Who would make their school this hard to navigate?" A light bulb went off in his head as he stood up laughing. "THAT'S IT!"
"What's it?" Ryu said smacking his lips as he woke up.
"No one would make their school this hard to navigate! Which means one thing. If something isn't as it should be then its-"
************************
"HOW CAN WE NOT FIND OUR OWN WAY THROUGH OUR OWN DAMN SCHOOL!?" Naruto screamed pulling at his hair. "I wanna get to the exam..." He sobbed.
"Shut up Naruto." Sakura said, smacking her shorter comrade. "Your complaining isn't making this any better. Anyways, Sasuke, you thought of anything yet?"
"...no." He muttered, crushing the hopes of his friends.
"N-no?" Sakura stuttered. "How can you not know? You're so strong and amazing!"
"I don't know where room 402b is. Sorry." Sasuke said, putting his hands in his pockets as he shuffled along down the way.
"Feh." Naruto spat. "We should just create our own room 402b and go there. It'd probably be faster."
"You're such an id-"Sasuke thought, but as he was saying it, an idea hit him. "Naruto, you may have uncovered the secret of room 402b."
"Huh?" Naruto said puzzled.+-
"I'd have to agree with Naruto on this one." Sakura said, confused as well.
"First understand these facts." Sasuke began. "1: We haven't seen another genin team the entire time we've been here. 2: The hallways seem to go on forever. 3: Since when does the academy even have a fourth floor?"
"It doesn't...so what does that mean?" Sakura asked.
"Heh," Sasuke chuckled. "It means we're caught in Genjutsu."
"An illusion...?" Naruto wondered.
"Yep. An illusion." Sakura said, agreeing with Sasuke. "So we just cancel it right? You know the cancellation jutsu don't you guys?"
"Yes." They both answered.
"Then here we go!"
Putting their hands together, they all screamed, "GAI!" canceling the Genjutsu surrounding them. A door immediately appeared in front of them. They seemed to be back on level one. "Wow...that was some impressive Genjutsu..." Sakura said in amazement.
They all walked through the door to find themselves in a lecture hall. Other Genin teams were there, including Neji's team, the sand-nins, who seemed to be keeping to themselves, and the shadow team. As they walked over to their friends, Kiba's team came in behind them.
"Well..." Lee said. "That was unexpected."
"Quite." Shino answered.
"So...how many teams have made it so far?" Sasuke asked.
"'Bout 20 or so..." Ill said, chiming in for the fairly unspoken Shadow team.
"I have a feeling this exam will be harder than last years..." Hinata said softly.
"WELL DONE!" Shouted Hisashi, who appeared at the front of the room. The genin all looked at the instructor. "There are 20 teams in the room right now. Congratulations to all 60 of you for passing the first exam."
The 12 genin walked over to the front entrance of the academy, keeping an eye out on the competition. Looking round, Sasuke saw two familiar faces. "Well there's Kankuro and Temari..."
