Previously on Naruto…..
(IT'S HOPELESS! WHAT AM I GONNA DO!) Naruto wailed
(Each problem is harder than the last.) Sasuke thought grimly.
….
"Well, they got their hands full. I heard a man named Ibbiki is the proctor." Kurenai said
"If you get the tenth answer wrong…YOU'll NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE THE CHUNIN EXAMS EVER AGAIN!"
….
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME! I DON'T THAT'S MY NINJA WAY!"
….
CRASH!
"Alright, kids ready to put your lives on the line? It's time to get ready for the second exam!" a purple-haired hyperactive woman yelled.
The entire class sweatdropped at the woman's hyperactiveness. "Anko, you're early...again." Ibiki sighed.
Anko sweatdropped but quickly composed herself. "Anyway. Ibiki you're getting too soft. How could you let so many participants pass?"
"Or maybe we have a stronger group," he suggested, but Anko just shrugged his comment off then looked at the genin before her.
"ALRIGHT KIDDIES! The second exam will be at the Forty-Fourth training grounds. Be there tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock sharp! Dismissed~." Anko smirked before leaving the room by the same window she came in.
Everybody thought the same thing.
That woman is crazy. And everyone was scared.
…
Sasuke and Naruto were waiting for their female teammate at the bridge where they usually wait to go on missions, but she never showed up. "Man, where is she? We're gonna be late to the second exam ya know." Naruto groaned, waiting for a response. He opened his eyes and saw Sasuke walking away.
"W-Where you going?"
"Where do you think? I'm going to get her, let's go." the Uchiha said without stopping. The boys walked in silence towards the outskirts of the village where a grand japanese styled wooden gatehouse stood with the Senju crest. It had bright yellow tape across the forbidden entrance. "Sasuke! That's the Senju Forest! Nobody's allowed to go in there!" the Uzumaki yelled in shock.
(Does he have to be loud all the time?) the Uchiha groaned.
"This is where she lives. Come on, we'll take that back entrance." he answered, dragging his teammate by the collar. The two crawled through a hidden shrub entering the Senju compound.
"Woah cool, how did you know about that shrub?" the Uzumaki asked but he didn't receive an answer.
Of course Sasuke knew about the secret entrance because he and Peri used it all the time. Walking through the abandoned complex he could help but feel a pain in his heart.
The Senju compound became a second home to him, he remembered all the times the two explored the forest, having sleepovers, jumping in the piles of hay.
Besides, it's not like Sasuke hated her. Not at all since Peri was the only one he had left.
And when they got out of her house the two found their teammate sleeping.
(I should have known.) Sasuke sighed, his childhood friend has NEVER been a morning person.
"PERI WAKE UP WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" Naruto screamed in her ear.
Big mistake.
A dark, malicious aura surrounded the Senju. Her friendly eyes turned into blazing red and it was all directed towards the poor Uzumaki.
BANG!
BANG!
CRASH!
-Forty-fourth Training Ground-
"Hey Sasuke, how did you get into my house?" Peri asked, tying her headband around her neck.
"You gave me a spare key, remember?"
"When did I do that?"
"You're hopeless, loser,"
"HEY!"
When they finally arrived at the second exam site Anjou was explaining the exams to the genin. "Welcome to the Forty-four training grounds, although we like to call it the Forest of Death."
(The Forest of Death!) the ten rookies flinched a little. None of them have actually experienced or witnessed death on their missions except for Team Kakashi.
"Now I'm gonna need you to sign these consent forms. Don't want your family to try and sue me for your death, hehehe." Anko giggled. Hesitatingly, the genin began to fill out consent forms some braver than others, but that could just be arrogance talking.
"Um are we all going to be okay?" Sakura whimpered.
"Don't tell me you're scared, Billboard Brow. Maybe you should just go home and stay out of my way to Sasuke-I mean winning." Ino sneered
"CHA! As if I would let you go near him, Ino-Pig! He's mine! Sasuke and I are going to get married someday! " Sakura snapped.
"I'd rather die." Sasuke said causing Sakura to get upset
"Ha, as if Billboard Brow! Sasuke would rather marry me!" Ino smirked
"I'd rather die." Sasuke repeated causing Ino to get upset
"I'll never understand you guys. He hasn't liked either of you since day one." Peri said
"Oh shut up Flat chest!" the fangirls yelled at her.
That same dark and malicious aura surrounded Peri with the intent to kill which terrified Sakura and Ino.
(They just signed their death sentences.) Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, and Shino winced.
Nebki who was sitting on Sasuke's shoulder sweatdropped at the comical scene.
"LET ME AT THEM! I'M GONNA TEAR THEM APART!" the milk-chocolate brown haired Senju roared squirming in the Inuzuka's and Akamichi's grasp
There was nothing wrong with her chest.
Peri was just petite, that's all!
Just then a box made its way towards Naruto and began to chase him around the field. "Konohamaru, I know it's you!" he yelled, making everybody sweatdropped around him.
"You're slick Boss! Just what I expect from my greatest rival!" Konohamaru answered. The box exploded, revealing the hokage's grandson and his two best friends.
"I'm Moegi, the sexiest kunoichi in town, check me out!"
"I love algebra, call me Udon!"
"And I'm the strongest ninja in the village, Konohamaru! Together we are the Konohamaru Ninja Squad!"
"What are you guys doing here? We're about to take the second exam." Peri asked them.
"Oh right I almost forgot! Lord Hokage told me that the Academy is working on the town's newspaper so they're going to be interviewing all of you. So please be polite and answer their questions." Anko told them.
-Outside the Leaf Village-
"No way, you're -" the man choked as a sword slashed his chest. The man fell to the ground dead. Around him were several other guards.
"I expected more of a fight. How disappointing, the village really has gone soft since I left this place. a pale skin man with snake-like yellow eyes laughed evilly sending chills to the bone.
"Lord Orchimaru, the second part of the chunin exams will begin tomorrow. The Uchiha, the Princess, and the Nine-tails will be there." a Sound ninja reported to his leader.
"Well….this will be interesting." Orchimaru grinned evilly.
-Forty-fourth Training Ground-
Konohamaru gave Naruto a thumbs up signaling that the camera was recording. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the future hokage! The missions I go on are super tough, but they're no match for me! Also-"
Sasuke and Peri sitting underneath the trees watching their teammate's interview. "What do you think he's saying?" she asked.
"Probably only about himself like always," he answered. A thought then appeared in his mind.
"Back in the Land of Waves, why did you cast a genjutsu on yourself?" he asked.
Her eyes widened as she slightly tensed up before turning to him, "I was just practicing genjutsu before the mission. I must have forgotten to deactivate the jutsu. I'm still not really good at it." Peri lied.
Before he said something else Moegi and Udon walked over to them. " Um Princess, can I interview you?" Moegi asked
"Sure, but you don't have to say 'princess' ya know. Anyway, I'm Peri Senju, a member of Team Kakashi with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. We all work together on a mission to become stronger and I'm positive we're gonna pass the chunin exams too!" she said
"There's rumors around the village that you're going to be the next hokage like your grandfather. Is that true? Are you going to be the fifth hokage?" Udon asked
(Of course the villagers do. They only see me as the Lord First's granddaughter, not as myself. Even Sarutobi and the elders give me hokage lessons. Why doesn't anybody see me for how I am.) she thought angrily.
" Well-I don't think so-"
"I'M GONNA BE OKAY NOT HER!" Naruto loudly interrupted
"I'm not becoming the hokage Naruto." Peri said, her forest green eyes flashed with annoyance and a little bit of resentment.
"Alright pipeseaks liten up the second exams is about to begin. All teams follow the chunin and line up at the gates." Anko ordered.
Five….
The genin quietly followed the chunin and headed to the gates, each one was different from the other so they wouldn't follow other teams. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Four…..
"Everybody get ready. The exam is about to begin." Anko said.
Three….
Three shinobi from the Hidden Grass village appeared from the shadows.
Two….
"Alright, Sasuke! Peri! Let's do this thing!" Naruto yelled
"Yeah!" Peri cheered
"Right." Sasuke smirked
They passed the first exam and were determined to pass the second exam.
One….
"Now the second exam has now begun, open the gates!"
…..
Little did they know that everything was about to change forever.
Fun Fact: Sasuke is the tallest member in Team Seven.
Author's Notes
The second exam has started! Will Team Seven pass or will somebody stop them? And this is just a little thing. I like to read the story myself so I can look over it and see what needs to be improved so this can be a good story for you guys. I rewritten small sections of the previous chapters due to mispronunciations as well as Peri's eye color and Sakura's comments about it because the LAST thing I want to do is offend others. You don't have to read it but he wanted to let you know.
And, also just a little backstory. Peri doesn't hate the hokage, but she doesn't like it when people jump to conclusions due to her heritage.
Just wanted to update you about the story. But anyway I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for reading.
