A/N: Forgot last chapter's disclaimer. Thanks to reviewers!
Disclaimer: Don't own anyone but Mithos, Kage and Yuan. There sensei and parents belong to Namco, and so does their home village. Naruto characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. Yuan is sort of supposed to be a Gary-Stew, for reasons.

This is Mithos, basically. Just take out the spaces.

The next day, The Team from the Land of Origin, (Mithos' team), met outside the exam hall, where two idiots holding an illusion were there. Their sensei had gone off to some insane place on a rheaird, so she was nowhere to be found.
Yuan coughed, alerting Naruto's team to their position, and everyone to his existence. He watched as a boy in green spandex was being beaten up.
"That's so cruel-!" said some person in the crowd.
"No, you misunderstand," said one of the boys guarding the entrance, "We're just sparing you from the horrors of the Chunin exam."
"Hey, boys, you're blocking the hall!" yelled Kage.
"Let us through. Mine and Sasuke's teams have business on the third floor," said Yuan, coldly. There were murmurs.
"Yes, and drop the illusion while you're at it," said Sasuke.
"I believe Sakura should have noticed it by now- from what Mithos tells me, you're quite skilled at recognizing Genjutsu." Sakura blushed, but nodded.
"We're still on the second floor."
As the sign that said "301" changed to "201", the boys protecting the door attacked Yuan and Sasuke.
As they were about to fight back, a green and black blur stopped them both. The boy from earlier had blocked. It was Rock Lee from Konoha.
Neji, Hinata's cousin, spoke up.
"Lee. We agreed not to draw attention to ourselves." he said in a calm, cool voice.
"B-but…" Lee glanced towards Sakura. TenTen sighed.
"Not again…" Lee walked up to the pink-haired Kunoichi and bowed.
"Hi, my name is Rock Lee. You're Sakura, right? Would you like to go out with me? I'll protect you with my life!"
"No way." said Sakura.
"Troublesome. Men are idiots sometimes, ne?" said the Girls from the Land of Origin, laughing in unison.
Lee sighed.
"Aww…"
"Hey you two," asked Neji, pointing to Sasuke and Yuan.
"It's common courtesy to give your own name first."
"You're a rookie, aren't you? How old?" asked Neji.
"Give me your name and I shall give you mine," said Yuan, turning away with Sasuke.
At this point, the girls from Mizuho break out laughing, for Yuan just copied what his namesake fell for.
Sakura pulled on Sasuke and Naruto.
"Com'n, let's go!" she said, pulling them as they sighed.
Kage mimicked her, tra-la-laing all the way to a hallway where Lee from earlier stopped them.
He only seemed to want Naruto's team, so Kage continued dragging her friends down the hallway. Mithos went back, dragging her friends now.
"Ow…" said Yuan, before he was knocked out so he wouldn't struggle.
Mithos watched Sasuke getting beat up. She waved idly to Sakura and went to join her.
"He's getting his butt whooped." Kage said, sitting down. As Lee performed a move, shadow of the dancing leaf, explaining his moves were pure ninjutsu. about to use some attack…
A voice rang through as Lee was pulled out from under…
"Halt!" yelled a…
Turtle.
Sasuke was thrown to the side as Kage created a net of a glowing white material out of hair, catching him. She lowered him to the ground as the net disappeared. Sakura looked slightly jealous.
"Y-you saw?" asked Lee to the turtle, looking somewhat scared.
"You know the rules, Lee. That move is strictly forbidden!" said the turtle.
"I… I wouldn't have used the reversal move… I never meant…"
"Hey, hey!" said Naruto, running up. "That thing over there is a turtle, right? Can turtles become ninja?" he asked, stupidly.
"Don't ask stupid questions." stated Sasuke.
As Lee was chewed out by the turtle…
"You fool! Do you think I care about your feeble excuses! Consider the repercussions of a shinobi warrior- any Shinobi, badly explaining all his secrets!"
"Y-yes sir!" said Lee, scared.
"Are you properly prepared?" asked the turtle.
"Y-yes sir…"
"Well, then, he's all yours, Master Gai!"
"Ah, the exuberance of youth. You all are full of it." said a man who appeared on the turtle's back. He was shaking his butt, making rather stupid gestures- a larger version of Lee with ridiculously huge eyebrows and huge fish lips.
All the other rookies were hugely appalled, mouths wide with disgust.
As they commented on him, Gai called him over.
He slapped Lee.
"You idiot!"
The look-alikes started crying, then hugged each other emotionally.
At this, three girls retched, three boys actually nearly vomited.
"Ew."
"Just EW."
"Sick." said the three girls, one after another.
"What a DIP…" commented Naruto.
Gai turned his gaze to them.
The thought Eeep went through everyone's head.
"How is Master Kakashi?" he asked, thoughtfully.
"You know him?" asked Sasuke. Gai disappeared, reappearing behind the six other rookies.
"I should know- he's my rival. Our score is 49 to 50, me with 50." he said.
"Do you know Presea?" asked Kage, rudely.
"Ah, yes, was she the pink-haired flower who slapped me this morning?" asked Gai.
"Yes, that is her. Thank god she slapped you."
Gai brushed it off and sent the seven, including Lee, up to the classroom.
On the way there, Kakashi and Presea stopped them, along with another silver-haired man, Genis. They all congratulated the six on entering, then disappeared.
They entered.
"Whoa." stated Mithos.
Suddenly, Sasuke was glomped from behind by Ino.
"Ino, you pig, get off him!" yelled Sakura.
"I must kindly ask you to not resort to PDAs, nor show that you're an insignificant, stupid fangirl in public." stated Kage coldly. Her teammates edged away from her- she was scary when she's angry.
Ino sweat dropped.
"Ehh…" mumbled Mithos.
"Hey, it's the three stooges!" said Naruto, pointing at Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji.
"Stop calling us that." said Shikamaru.
"Hey, there you are!" called Kiba from a little while away. He was with Shino and Hinata, his teammates.
Mithos immediately ran over and hugged Hinata, friendly-as-can-be.
"Hin-chan! I haven't seen you in like, forever!" Kage came over too, and was introduced to the team.
-Skip to Shinobi Skill Cards!-
After seeing Gaara's and Lee's, Kabuto pulled out three more.
They appeared as Yuan Bryant, Kage Bryant, and Mithos Irving.
"Huh?" Kage leaned down. All the cards were blank.
Kabuto leapt backwards at the sight of her.
He glanced down at the card.
"Assassinated 50 or so trained, elite enemy soldiers without sustaining a scratch…" then he turned to Yuan's.
"Assassinated 100 elite Shinobi when protecting one of his old teammates without… getting even dirt on him."
And Mithos'.
"Murdered 150 elite ANBU from another land who were attacking her sister without getting even a speck of sweat on her."
The three from Mizuho all bared their teeth at once.
"Where did you hear about my little sister?" asked Mithos, venomously as a few of the people next to her looked terrified of all three of them.
"I'm n-not the one who made them…" said Kabuto, looking rather frightened.
Naruto was shaking. Sakura went over to pat him on the back, but before that…
"MY NAME'S UZUMAKI NARUTO, AND NONE OF YOU ARE GONNA BEAT ME!" he yelled, pointing dramatically at all of them. Kage made a small 'yay' sound as Sakura sweatdropped.
Muttering went through the crowd.
"Yeah, that felt great!" said Naruto, stretching. And now, it's Kage's turn to be dramatic (as per usual).
"OUR TEAM'LL WHOOP YOUR SORRY BUTTS! WE'RE NOT GONNA LOSE TO ANYONE!" her teammates slumped, those comical lines over their head. (You know, the comical doom ones.)
Everyone turned towards both of them.
"You. Are. An. Idiot." said Yuan, hitting his twin over the head.
Anyone who heard the text on the Mizuho team's cards, however… Didn't really think they were fools.
In the crowd, Gaara looked at Mithos unemotionally. She was the one from earlier who had blushed when speaking to him.
"Hey, it's those two from earlier…" Kankuro rubbed his forehead where a rock had hit him earlier.
As this happened, three sound ninja appeared, hitting Kabuto, and making him barf.
"Ew, that's just sick, he's hurling!" groaned Sakura.
"Would everybody please just shut up!" said a booming voice.
With a flash of smoke, as it cleared, they saw the proctors.
After explaining, some of Ibiki's staff disappeared, the rest stayed.
"You have one hour…" he stated… "Starting…"
"NOW!"
Within 30 minutes, Kage and Yuan were already half way done with their tests… Obviously hoping that their team idiot, Mithos, didn't panic, vomit, or fail.
'Hang on…' thought Kage, tapping her pencil at the sixth question. She was almost a certified genius, yet she couldn't answer it. Her hand lingered on her pencil. Then, an idea snapped in her head.
'We'll get points off if we're caught cheating. If we're caught. If no one knows…' she used telepathy to process this information into Mithos, who was several rows ahead of her.
Meanwhile, Yuan had already figured this out, as had Sasuke and Sakura. Silently, he sensed for intelligent auras… Finding one, he alerted Kage with telepathy.
Kage transferred her mind into the student's body, taking control. She memorized the answers, and erased them from the student's paper.
'Dirty, but…'
She appeared in Mithos' mind, copying them down.
Then, she appeared in Yuan's, copying the answers down again.
"My answers are gone!" yelled a student from earlier, hysterically.
"…Number 84, failed." said Ibiki, tonelessly as the student was led out.
After a while, almost half was gone.
"Tenth question." stated Ibiki, after the time had gone by.
"First you must choose… To accept or deny the question."
"Ch-choose!" asked Temari, "What if someone doesn't accept the question!"
"If you reject the question and don't even try to answer it, you'll lose all your points immediately and fail, and both of your teammates will fail right along with you."
"Say what! Then why would anyone choose to reject it!" asked a man with goggles.
"Because of the other rule. If you try to answer the question and get it wrong, you'll never be permitted to apply for the Journeyman exams again. Not ever."
After this…
About ten teams rejected the question.
Mithos' glare snapped to Naruto, who was slowly raising his hand.
'N-no!'
At this… Naruto slammed down his hand.
"NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME! I DON'T QUIT, AND I WON'T RUN!" he yelled. "I'LL ACCEPT your stupid question! Even if I risk ending up a rookie for the rest of my life- I'll still become Lord Hokage, even if I can only make it by pure stubbornness!"
Everyone now looked more confident. Mithos smiled, drumming her hands wordlessly on the desk.
78 were still there.
"Good call. So… Everyone who is still here…" began Ibiki. Everyone gulped.
"Have just passed the first exam!"
"Huh?"
"There is no tenth question beyond the whole "Accept or Reject" thing." The whole room was amazed.
"Huh?" asked Naruto.
-Skip Through to the Obnoxious Anko!-
As he finished talking, Ibiki sweat dropped as a ball of black fabric smashed the window, unveiling itself into a curtain, in front of which a woman was standing dramatically.
The back said, in childish writing, "NEWLY ARRIVED SECOND CHIEF EXAM OFFICER". As she introduced herself as Mitarashi Anko, everyone sweatdropped.
And with that… They were off to the next exam.
