Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden and Naruto would have his Father's smarts while keeping his Mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Rin Uzumaki (Namikaze). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!

23: Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals!

...My Line...

Jiraiya picked up the remote and looked around at the group.

"Ready for the last episode of the day?" he asked them.

"Yes!" they all answered.

"Alright," the white hair Sannin said as he goes to hit play. "Here we go."

Once the screen lite up, the Toad Sage put the remote down on the coffee table.

...My Line...

"Your an embarrassment to our village," the redhead named Gaara told his teammate. "Have you forgotten the reason we came all the way here."

"I know," Kankuro told him. "I-I mean they challenged us. They started the whole thing." The Uzumaki Heiress glared him though she was more focused on Gaara. "Here's what happened..."

"Shut up," Gaara ordered. "Or I'll kill you."

'Dude is hard core,' Rin thought with a sweatdropped.

"Huh?" Kankuro asked. "Right, I was totally out of line. I'm sorry Gaara. I was totally out of line."

Gaara looked over at Sasuke with those blood thirsty eyes.

"I'm sorry for the trouble he caused," Gaara told them.

'This guy has an evil look in his eyes,' Sasuke thought.

'He stopped Kankuro with a pebble and made it look easy while the girl,' Gaara thought as he looked at the female redhead. 'She's fast. This two are some one to keep an eye on.' The Uzumaki female watched as Gaara vanished in a whirl of sand before he reappeared in front of his teammates. "Let's go. We didn't come here to play games."

"Alright," Kankuro agreed. "Sure. I get it."

The Heiress let out a sigh as they started to walk away, but then face palm when Sakura had to be a banshee.

"Hold on!" Sakura yelled. "Hey!"

"What?" the girl asked.

"I can tell from your headband that you come from the Village Hidden in the Sand," Sakura pointed. "Of course the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies, but no shinobi can enter another's village without permission. So state your propose and it better be good."

"Really?" the girl asked. "Have you guys been living under a rock or what? You know what's going on do you?"

"They don't," Rin answered as she stepped in front of her teammates. "But, I sure do." The Sand shinobi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke looked at her. "Your here for the Chunin Exams aren't you?"

"Yes," the girl answered with a smile glad that some one know what was up as she held up a pass with her name on it.

'Temari, huh?' Rin thought as she read the name.

"We have permission," Temari stated. "Of course, you are correct we are Hidden Sand Genin, our home is the Land of the Wind. And as your teammate here pointed out, we're here for the Chunin Exam. Get the picture?"

"The Chunin Exam?" Naruto asked confused. "What's that?"

...My Line...

Obito snickered while the Senju Family and the Sarutobi face palmed.

...My Line...

Episode 23: Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals!

"Well, I've never heard of no Chunin Exam, ya know."

"I do know alright," Temari told him as the redhead face palmed. "That your totally clueless."

"Hey, Boss," Konohamaru spoke up. "Those are the exams that every Genin got take to Graduate to full on Chunin."

"Oh!" Naruto yelled. "Why didn't you say so!? I am so there!"

Rin groaned at the way her Brother was acting as the Sand Ninja went to walk away while Sasuke jump down to join his teammates.

"Hey, you!" he called. "Identify yourself!"

Temari stopped walking and looked at Sasuke with a smile.

"You mean me?" she asked.

"No him," Sasuke answered before he pointed at Gaara. "The guy with the gourd on his back."

"My is Gaara Sabuku," Gaara answered after he turned around. "I'm curious about you, too. Who are you?"

"I am Sasuke Uchiha."

Gaara looked at Rin, who looked back at him.

"And you, girl?" he asked.

"Rin Uzumaki, Heiress of the Uzumaki Clan."

The two of the Sand Genin gasp as they looked at her, but Naruto decided to break the silence

"Hi there," Naruto greeted. "I bet your dying to know my name, right?"

"I couldn't careless," Gaara answered.

The Sand Shinobi turned around and then left quickly leaving the Leaf Shinobis standing there.

'Things are getting interesting,' Sasuke thought.

"Hey, Konohamaru," Naruto spoke up. "Do I seem uncool to you?"

"Well, compare to Sasuke and your Sister…" the Sarutobi stopped for a moment. "Yeah, your pretty lame."

...My Line...

"I don't like the way that kid looked at my Heiress," Kushina said as she bit her thumb nail. "It was like he was planning her murder."

"She'll be fine, Kushina," Minato told his Wife. "Our Daughter has the Sealing Chains, so she had handle him."

"I hope so," the redhead sighed.

The blonde pulled the Uzumaki close to him.

...My Line...

The scene started to show another figure.

"You not going to show me up, Sasuke!"

"Back off loser."

Soon two others were shown

"What do you think, Dosu?"

"The usual weaklings. Nothing special, but the one of the Uzumaki Clan, the Uchiha, and that desert rat, we should watch them closely."

...My Line...

"I don't like this," Hashirama said as he narrowed his eyes.

"I have to agree, Elder Brother," Tobirama second. 'Could those three be Orochimaru's henchmen?'

...My Line...

"Alright," the Sandaime spoke up. "It's time that we chose our Teams for the Chunin Examination. To begin we'll start with those in charge of the Rookie Genins. Step forward." The three Jonin Senseis stepped forward. "Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma. What do you say? Are their any in your squads that you would recommend? Who are ready for the exams despite their inexperience. As you know that any Genin, who have completed 8 or more missions, is technically legible for the Examination. Beyond that only you can decide when they are ready. Of course, most Genin require a much longer training period and at least twice that many missions."

'There's no need to say all of this,' Iruka thought. 'It's to soon for their Squads.'

"So, Kakashi," Hiruzen spoke up. "You begin."

"I lead Squad 7," the Hatake said as he held up two fingers in front of his face. "Sasuke Uchiha, Rin and Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno. I, Kakashi Hatake, recommend all four of these Genins for the Chunin Selection Exams."

"And I lead Squad 8," the Yuhi spoke up next. "Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame. Now I, Kurenai Yuhi, recommend all three."

"And my squad is number 10," the younger Sarutobi. "Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akamichi. And now I, Asuma Sarutobi of the Sarutobi Clan, recommend all three."

This made them gasp before standing talking to each other in shock.

"Hold on!" the Academy Teacher yelled as he stepped forward. "Wait just a minute."

"Yes?" the Sandaime asked. "What is it Iruka?"

"Lord Hokage, with all respect," the Umino answered. "The 10 names that were just given were all my students at the Academy. Even Sasuke had been one at a time. I know their skills and abilities. Everyone of them has great promise, but it's to soon. They need more experience before they are tested. If they try now then they are sure to fail the exam."

"When I became a Chunin, I was 6 years younger then Naruto and Rin," Kakashi added.

"Naruto and Rin is nothing like you!" Iruka yelled at them. "Are you trying to destroy them?"

The teacher walked up to stand in front of them.

"Well, they are always complaining about not being challenged enough," the Hatake stated. "Maybe whipping out in the exams will teach them a little lesson. A little pain is good."

"W-What did you say?"

"Oh," the 26-year-old sighed. "Nothing fetal of course. But, seriously, Iruka relax. Listen I understand how you feel. It's very personal for you and it's upsets you, but..."

"Alright, Kakashi," Kurenai spoke up. "I think that you've said enough."

"On the contrary Kurenai," the Hatake stated. "Iruka needs to hear this. He needs to realize that their not his students anymore there mine."

'Enough already.'

"But, these exams could destroy them!" the Umino yelled. "You know that!"

"Iruka, you have made your point," the older Sarutobi said. "I understand."

"Lord Hokage?"

"Accordingly I have decide that the best thing to do is to hold a special preliminary test."

"Pre-Preliminary test?"

...My Line...

"A good choice," Minato said with a nod of his head.

"Well, with those three teams it is the first time

...My Line...

Rin let out a sigh as she walked up to the bridge that she and her team where suppose to meet at to see that Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were already there making her to groan especially when Sakura decided to go banshee on them.

"Why?" Sakura asked. "Why? Why? It's always the same. He sats the time and we have to wait hours for him."

"It's not fair," Naruto agreed.

'Who ever said life was fair?' the redhead thought as she walked up.

Sasuke was the one, who took noticed to her, as she walked over to them with an annoyed look on her face.

'This is a first,' thought Sasuke. 'I have never seen her with annoyed look on her beautiful face in the morning.' Sasuke's eyes widen as a blush appeared on his face. 'Wait a minute. Did I say that Rin , the Dobe's older twin Sister has a beautiful face? Well, she is cute, doesn't fuss over me like the other girls do, and takes her training seriously ... NO! Bad Sasuke, very bad Sasuke. You must get ready of HIM before you even think of having a relationship with anyone, girl or boy.'

Rin looked over at Sasuke, who she noticed has shook his head, making her to raise an eyebrow before she let out a groan when Sakura went banshee AGAIN!

"What about my feelings?" Sakura asked. "I rushed so fast I didn't have time to blow dry my hair."

'The poor baby,' the Heiress thought with a roll of her eyes.

"I didn't have enough time to brush my teeth or change my underwear!" Naruto announced.

The older twin looked at him with a raised eyebrow that clearly read 'WTF'.

"You, uh, didn't?" Sakura asked. "That's really disgusting Naruto."

'First thing in the morning and their already driving me nuts,' Sasuke thought.

"Hey," a lazy voice greeted making them look up to see Kakashi waving at them from his perished. "Good morning everyone. Sorry I'm late. Afraid I got lost on the path of life."

"LAIR!" Naruto and Sakura shouted at him as Rin and Sasuke went to stand next to them.

"Hatake, I have a shift at the hospital in an hour," the red hair Uzumaki growled. "So, stop wasting my time or I will show you want else I got from my Mother besides her temper!"

"Huh...right," the silver hair Jonin laughed nervously as he jumped down to join them.

...My Line...

"You tell him, sweetie," Kushina cheered.

The brunette turned her head to glare at the silver hair pre-teen making him to look every nervous.

...My Line...

"I know this is a bit sudden, but I recommend you for the Chunin Exam all four of you," Kakashi told them. These are the application forms."

Kakashi pulled out four forms with each of their names of them.

"Application Forms?" Sakura asked.

"Your repeating me, Sakura," the Hatake stated. "This is all volunteer. It's up each of you. If you don't feel ready you can wait till next year."

"ALRIGHT!" Naruto cheered as he ran to hug the older man. "Kakashi-Sensei, you rock!"

"Don't slapper on my vest!" the silver hair Jonin ordered. "Anyone, who wants to take the exams, needs to sign the forms and bring them to room 301 at the Academy 5 days from now. That's it."

"Chunin Exams! Chunin Exams!"

Rin took the form with her name on it before she walked away the other three when Kakashi dismissed them.

...My Line...

"I'm worried about them," Obito said.

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"Well, their teamwork isn't the best," the Uchiha pre-teen answered. "I mean, Kakashi and I don't like each other, but we can put aside our differences to work together. However, those four can't. Sensei's Daughter doesn't like Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto doesn't like Sasuke, Sakura doesn't like the twins, and Sasuke doesn't like any of them...wait, no that's not true. He is starting to become possessive of Ookami though he is still putting his need for revenge above everything else. But, because of this the four of them can't work together at all."

"Your right, but Sakura can put her dislike of the twins aside to work with them," Rin told him. "It's Sasuke that it's a bit of a problem."

The dark hair Chunin looked thoughtful.

"You right, Rin," Obito agreed with a nod. "Their going to be a nightmare to train." He grinned at the Hatake. "Good luck, Bakashi."

This got him a glare from the Jonin pre-teen while the rest all cackled.

...My Line...

"Chunin Exams, I'll be up against a lot of wicked Ninja," Naruto stated with a smile. 'Like the guy with the Mummy on his back, my older Sister, and of course, Mr Attitude.'

...My Line...

"I can see why Obito is worry about those Squad 7," Tobirama said with surprise.

"As can I," Hashirama agreed with a nod.

The two Brothers shared a look of worry.

...My Line...

Both Kankuro's and Sasuke's were tossed to the ground with Naruto standing over them with smiled.

"Alright," the blonde cheered before he was holding a trophy of some kind. "Whose the Grand Champion? That would be me. If I come out on top then being Hokage will be easier after that."

...My Line...

There face palms while the Namikaze Couple and the three Senjus looked a little embarrassed.

...My Line...

"I have to expect it," Hiruzen sighed. "Naruto is better then an old geezer like me. So, I'll just retire and let him be Hokage."

The blonde was again seen only with the hat on his head while giving a victory sign.

"Yeah."

...My Line...

Tobirama right eyebrow twitched while Obito snickered quietly as the rest all sighed.

...My Line...

'I hope I get a chance to fight that guy,' the Uchiha thought with a smirk.

'This is hopeless,' the pinkette thought as she stopped walking. 'I can't keep with Sasuke or Rin. I can't even beat Naruto. I'll never pass these exams.'

The redhead looked at her own form in thought though she did look at her teammates with worry in her eyes before heading to the Hospital for her shift.

'What the hell is Baka-Sensei thinking?' she thought as the Uzumaki Heiress walked away. 'He does know that this team is not ready for the Chunin Exams yet, right? I mean, Sakura and I can put our dislikes for each other away and for Naruto and Sasuke respectively. But, the boys? I don't think so.' Rin let out a sigh. 'He must have taken one to many hits to the head. We're not going to make Chunin. Not with our teamwork being none-existent.'

...My Line...

As one, everyone looked at the silver hair Jonin as they were wondering that as well.

"Minato?" Jiraiya asked.

"I'll have Inoichi take a look," the blonde answered.

"At least Ookami is using her head," Obito sighed. "Heck, she even acknowledges that their teamwork is none-existent."

The brunette pre-teen let out a sigh, but she could see Obito's and Ookami's point of view on the matter.

...My Line...

The scene showed Ninja from outside of the village walking through the Gate's along with caverns with different items to sell.

...My Line...

"I don't like other Ninjas being inside the village," Tobirama growled.

"But, Sensei, the Chunin Exams was your idea to try and keep War at bay," Hiruzen pointed out.

"I know, Saru, but that doesn't mean I have to like it," the silver hair Senju sighed.

There amusement running through the group at that.

...My Line...

The next day, one could find the blonde Uzumaki walking along a bridge.

"Hey Naruto!" the Sarutobi greeted the blonde when he saw him.

"Hey!"

"Come Play Ninja with us, please?" Konohamaru asked.

"Sure," Naruto agreed. "I don't have any dangerous Ninja missions today. So, no problem."

"Excellent!"

"Yeah!"

"Alright!"

However, a Rain Ninja appeared behind the three kids making Naruto to gasp before he then grabbed Moegi. The orangette let out a scream as he jumped to the top of the arches while the other three could only watch.

"Naruto! Konohamaru! Help!"

"What you doing with Moegi, you big slug!?"

"Let her go!" Naruto ordered. "NOW!" The Rain Ninja just laughed before he started to jump away. "Come on Konohamaru!"

"I'm with you Boss!"

"Hold on!"

All three males quickly followed at them.

...My Line...

"That must be the preliminary test that the rookie Genin have to take," Fugaku said. "Something that puts them into different satiations that they'll have to solve."

"Your right, dear," Mikoto agreed as she held her Son close to her. "I wonder how Ookami will do."

...My Line...

The scene showed a different part of the village and the pinkette, who let out a sigh.

"Chunin Exams."

"HEY!" Sasuke's voice reached her ears.

This made her gasp before looking down at him.

"Sasuke!" she called out. "What's up?!"

"Let's take a walk!" the Uchiha answered. "Just you and me."

"No way!" Sakura said with a smile. "You mean it?!"

...My Line...

"Girl's got no hope at winning Sasuke over as she is right now," Kushina sighed. "If she focused more on her training and less time on boys then maybe she'll make it out in the cruel world that is Shinobi."

There were many nods of agreement at that.

...My Line...

The foreign Ninja laughed as he looked back at Naruto, who was chasing him.

"Well, well, he can keep up with me at this speed," he stated quietly to himself.

"I'll get this creep!" the blonde yelled. "MOEGI!"

...My Line...

'Come on, Naruto,' Obito thought. 'Show that your ready for the Chunin Exams.'

...My Line...

"Oh man," Konohamaru groaned as the two boys were really behind the other two. "This is bad. The Boss. We've got to find the Boss."

"Huh?" Udon mumbled as he joined his friend. "Is he lost or are we?"

...My Line...

This made everyone smile as they were glade that their were those, who were of the new Generation that carried about Naruto.

...My Line...

"No!" Moegi yelled. "You let me go!"

"I thought Konoha had powerful Ninja," the Rain Ninja laughed as he tied the girl to a tree. "But, now I see that your nothing. Just a bunch of weaklings." He hummed as he heard the arrival of the blonde Genin making him to half turn. "That was quick."

"Hey you!" Naruto yelled. "Yeah you. The Fat Old Guy! What are you doing to Moegi!?"

"What am I doing?" he asked. "Is that your question?" He then held up a kunai to the young girl's neck. "You really want to know?" This made Naruto to gasp. "If you move the brat's finished."

"Hey!" the blonde yelled. "Why are you doing this? She's just a kid! Let her go!"

"I want the First Hokage's Scroll of Sealing," the Rain Ninja answered. "Bring it to me and I'll let the girl go."

"The Scroll of Sealing?" the Uzumaki asked in surprise.

...My Line...

"Huh?" Hashirama mumbled as he blinked in surprise.

Tobirama just raised an eyebrow at that in thought.

...My Line...

"Hey, Sasuke?" Sakura spoke up. "How come all of a sudden did you want to walk with me?"

"Cause I need to tell you to give up on the Chunin Exams," the Uchiha told her. "There's no way you can pass them Sakura."

"I was afraid of that," the pinkette sighed. "Your right."

"These Ninja are very advance and they have no mercy," Sasuke added. "You tried to fight them, you could lose your life."

"But, Sasuke, your telling me this because you care about me," the Haruno said happily.

"I...huh...I guess that's true," the dark hair Genin said slowly.

"Two sweethearts," a Rain Ninja laughed as he appeared. "How touching."

"Get lost," Sasuke stated. "Unless you want to die."

"Talk is cheep," the foreign Ninja said.

He jumped up and threw shuriken only for Sasuke to block with his kunai.

"Now I'm really mad," the Uchiha said as he charged forward.

"Be careful, Sasuke!" the pinkette called out.

The Rain Ninja also charged forward and he then jumped up before throwing his umbrella.

"I don't think so," Sasuke growled as he tossed his kunai.

But, the moment it hit the umbrella, the said weapon of the Rain Ninja turned into a hail of kunai that rain down on the Uchiha.

"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled when a dust cloud formed. "Sasuke?" The cloud vanished to show Sasuke on the ground with kunai sticking in him and around him. "Sasuke!" The pinkette ran towards him in worry. "SASUKE!"

...My Line...

"And there she goes again," Tsunade sighed as she hanged her head.

The other three females all sighed as well while the males kept their mouths shut.

...My Line...

"Don't just stand there like a fool," the foreign Ninja growled. "Hurry up and get the scroll."

"Oh, yeah right," Naruto growled. "And what would happen if I say no?"

"Then I guess you don't care what happens to this girl."

"What girl?" the blonde asked. "All I see is two dummies. You and that one next to you made of straw!"

"What?" the Rain Ninja asked as he turned around to see what the Uzumaki talking about to see a straw dummy where the girl had been. "Where did she go?"

"She's right here with the greatest Ninja in the world!" Naruto called out from a tree with Moegi next to him.

"Yeah, that's you, Boss!" Moegi said as she looked up at him in awe. "Your my Hero."

"The Clone Jutsu!" the foreign Ninja growled. "I'm going to waste you punk!"

"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked as another Clone appeared. "You just don't know when your outclassed!"

The Clone threw a net on the guy as all four Naruto's jumped on him making a dust cloud.

"Hey, Boss!" Konohamaru called out as he and Udon's ran up. "We're here."

The cloud vanished to show only one Naruto sitting on the guy.

"Yeah?" he asked as he looked over his shoulder at them. "Well, it's about time you guys."

"Konohamaru!" Moegi yelled as she ran to him. "I was really scared!"

"It's okay," the Sarutobi said as he rubbed her on the head. "It's alright."

"Did you get him, Boss?" Udon asked. "Can I see him?"

"Sure," Naruto agreed as he walked towards them. "I'll show you want he looks like."

However, the blonde gaped when all he saw was a rock.

...My Line...

"He should have kept a Clone around to watch over the guy," Kakashi deadpan.

"I have to agree with you," Obito second. "Even if I don't want to."

Rin let out a sigh as she glanced towards the ceiling as if she was asking for patience.

...My Line...

The Rain Ninja hide behind a tree as he listened to the group talking.

"Hey!" Konohamaru yelled. "He used the Substitution Jutsu on you!"

"Copy-Cat!" Naruto yelled. "That's what I did to him!"

"You let him get away Boss!"

"I see."

...My Line...

This got smiles from them all at seeing Naruto win over Iruka and gain his approval.

...My Line...

Sakura was crying over Sasuke's body as the Rain Ninja walked up laughing.

"He's finished," he stated. "And that's how you'll end up if you take the Chunin Exams."

"Oh, Sasuke," the pinkette cried before she sat up with a laugh. "I'm not an idiot. I saw through that cheep Genjutsu right from the first minute."

"What?"

"Sasuke inviting me out," the Haruno stated as she stood up. "Acting as if he was all worried about me. Yeah, like he would ever. That was a foolish mistake. You thought that I would fall for that?"

"Are you calling me a fool?"

"I would if you were really here," Sakura stated. "But, your just an illusion while the real one ran away like Coward. So, your just an illusion of a coward."

"Are you sure that I'm not really?" he asked as he threw his umbrella at her.

The pink hair Genin smirked and walked forward only for the umbrella to go right through her.

"Yeah, I'm sure," she stated.

"Just want I would expect from a Kunoichi trained by Kakashi," the man laughed. "But, the Chunin Exams are more then just illusions." He then started to vanished. "We'll see if you can cut it."

"You don't scare me!" Sakura yelled. "Bring them on! Chunin Exams! Big bad Chunin Exams!" She then let out as she hanged their head. "Actually I'm really worried about them."

...My Line...

"Okay, so maybe she's not as useless as I thought," Kushina blinked in surprised. "And I can understand being worried about Chunin Exams."

"Yeah," everyone else agreed.

...My Line...

Sasuke did a kick to the Rain Ninja to the face making him to go sliding along the ground.

"Stay out of our village," the Uchiha stated.

...My Line...

"That's my boy," Fugaku nodded his head with a small smile.

...My Line...

Rin ran a rock over her katana's blade before she gently touched the sharp edge with her finger and when she just put her finger on the edge it cut it up a bit making her to smirk.

'Perfect,' she thought with a cackle, however, she stopped when she felt a charka source nearby so she quietly and quickly pulled out a kunai and tossed to her right. "Come on out Iruka-Sensei!"

A rain ninja appeared in front of her before there was a puff of smoke to reveal her old teacher, who was rubbing the back of his neck.

"Busted," he stated.

"Big time," the redhead agreed.

Iruka let out a sigh before he smiled at the young Uzumaki, who was putting her katana back into it's sheath.

"Are you getting ready of the Chunin Exams?" Iruka asked the young girl.

"Yes," Rin answered. "I want to make sure that my weapons are all sharp and ready in case I have to use them."

Iruka smiled again before he vanished in a puff of smoke leaving the young Heiress to her weapons.

...My Line...

"Should have known," Mikoto sighed. "She's a sensory, so Iruka trying to test her isn't a going to work."

"True," Hashirama agreed. "It was always hard to sneak up on Tobirama." He glanced side ways at his Brother. "Still is."

This got a smirk from the said Brother.

...My Line...

Later that night, Izuna sat on a roof top waiting for Iruka to show up.

"So, how did it go?" the Hatake asked when the man showed up.

"They all made it," the Academy teacher answered as he dropped his henge. "Your Squad and the others. All 10 Genin proved themselves ready for the exams. You were right, Kakashi, their good. They've all develop impressive skills."

"Hmm," the silver hair Jonin hummed. "But, the Chunin Exams can break anyone. We'll see if they can tough it out."

...My Line...

'So, even Kakashi is worried about them,' Minato thought. 'That's good to know.'

...My Line...

"Did you hear?" a male voice asked as kunai hit a target. "We're going to rookies at the Exams. First year Genin. That has not happened in 5 years."

"No way," a female voice said as the said female messed with a kunai. "I bet it's just some Jonin trying to boost their egos."

"No, there's more to the story then that," a male with bowl cut, black hair and large dark eyes with bushy eyebrows. "Four of them are from Kakashi's squad."

"Huh?" another male said. "Interesting."

"Not every," the female stated as she threw the kunai she was holding.

"Either way," a Hyuuga was shown only with the first male. "It's to bad for them."

The female was shown next as she giggled.

...My Line...

"Oh, God!" Obito and Kakashi freaked out. "It's another Gai!"

Rin giggled at that in amusement.

"Not funny Rin," Obito whined.

All she did was grin at him.

...My Line...

"The Chunin Exams, huh?" Tobi asked as he watched Rin sharpen her weapons.

"Yes," the redhead answered as she put away her small shurikens before she pulled her Demon Wind Shuriken. "I'm not that worried about them, but…"

"It's Rin-chan's team, right?"

She looked at him with a small smile.

"Yeah," she answered. "Sakura and I can put aside our dislike for each other, but Sasuke and Naruto can't seem to do that."

The Uchiha sighed before he moved closer to her as she went back to sharpening her giant Shurikens.

"It'll be ok, Rin-chan," Obito told her softly. "Your team will pull through this." She hummed at that. "Just promise Tobi something."

"Huh?"

Rin blinked as she looked up at him.

"Promise Tobi that Rin-chan will be careful," Obito said. "Promise Tobi that Rin-chan will be safe and will come out of the exams alive?"

Dark blue eyes soften at that before she reached out and took his left hand in her own.

"I can promise to be careful," the redhead said as she looked at him. "But, to stay safe and come out of the exams alive? I can't promise that Tobi." She felt a shift in his Chakra as he head hanged down and he started to play with her fingers. "But…" His head snapped up to look at her. "I can promise to try to be safe and come out it alive."

The Uchiha looked at her in thought as he continued to play with her fingers.

"Tobi guess that he'll take what he can get," he finally spoke up.

Rin smiled brightly at him before going back to her giant shurikens as Obito watched her.

...My Line...

"Can some one say whipped?" the Hatake asked with smirked as he looked at his Uchiha teammate.

"At least, I have a love interest," the Uchiha pre-teen countered as he glared at the silver hair Jonin. "Unlike you."

This made Kakashi to glare at him in return.

"Okay, let's not start you two," the brunette spoke up.

The both boys just crossed their arms and looked away from each other.

...My Line...

Rin walked to Sasuke and Naruto with a yawn having been up to 1 o'clock in the morning sharping her weapons all night and talking with Tobi.

"Hey, Onee-chan," Naruto greeted.

"Go-o-od Morning Otouto," the Uzumaki Heiress yawned out.

"Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" Sasuke asked.

"I was up till 1 in the morning sharping my weapons," the redhead answered showing them the cut on her finger that she has bandage.

'She's really strange,' thought Sasuke with a sigh.

It wasn't long till Sakura had finally showed up though looking rather down.

"Sakura," Naruto greeted. "Hey, your late."

"Uh...right," she agreed. "Sorry guys." Sakura looked over at Sasuke with a thoughtful look. "Good morning Sasuke."

"Yeah," Sasuke greeted. 'What's up with her? She's different.'

Rin let out a sigh before she started to walk inside with her teammates right behind her.

...My Line...

"At least he's showing some concern for his teammate," Jiraiya sighed making Tsunade nod her head.

...My Line...

A crowd of people were shown before the sound of some one getting punched was heard.

"Tch, your taking the Chunin Exams?" one of the Chunins in front of a door asked. "But, you can't even get passed us?"

"Why don't you give up now before you get hurt?"

"Yeah, I think that I hear your Mommy calling ya."

The two teammates that had been shown before looked at them.

"Please let us through," the female asked as she stood up. "We're suppose to go in there."

She walked forward only to be hit as well.

"Ah, that's harsh," some one in the crowd said.

"Did you say harsh? Don't kid yourself. We're being nice comparison. The Exams are going to make this look like a picnic."

"Some of you won't survive the exams, some of you will be wreck for life, and some of you may go crazy."

"For Chunin it's always life and death. You think it's a joke. Chunin are qualified to lead missions. The lives of your comrades are in your hands, so you better be tough enough to take the heat. Delicate little girls don't belong here."

"We've just thinning out the herd. You won't pass anyways so go home and play with your dolls."

...My Line...

"Geez, I didn't know that Izumo and Kotetsu had it in them to be that harsh," Rin said softly. "In fights with the enemy? Sure. But, with words? I had no idea."

"That maybe true Rin, but what they said is true," Minato stated. "About being Chunin."

The brunette nodded her head in agreement with her Sensei.

...My Line...

Rin let out a sigh as she rolled her eyes when Team Kakashi walked up.

"Really nice speech," Sasuke told them. "Now both of you step aside and let me through." The Uzumaki Heiress let out a sigh again as she shook her head. "And well, your at it revise the Genjutsu. We can see through the illusion anyways. We're going to the third floor."

"Well, well," one of the Chunins that where standing in front of the door said. "So you noticed the Genjutsu."

"Go ahead and tell them Sakura," Sasuke said.

The redhead smiled as she joined in.

"We're sure you saw it before anyone else," she added.

"Huh?"

"You the sharpest eyes and best analytically skill on our squad," Sasuke stated.

"You must have seen this coming from a mile away," Rin finished.

"I must have?" Sakura asked before she caught onto what they where doing. "Oh, of course. Sure. I've spotted it right away. This is only the second floor."

"Right," Naruto agreed.

The Genjutsu was undone making people gasped.

"Well, aren't we the smart ones?" the other Chunin asked. "So you noticed an illusion. Let's see you deal with this?"

The Chunin went to throw a kick at Sasuke while the young Uchiha went to counter it with his own kick. However, a young boy in green and with a bowl shape hair cut stepped in and grabbed both of their feet to stop them.

'How'd he do that?' Sakura thought. 'I thought he was some kind of weakling getting knocked like that, but he's just as fast as Sasuke.'

'He stopped my kick,' Sasuke thought. 'That some Chakra he's got in his arm.'

'And I thought that I was fast,' Rin thought with a smirk.

"Hey!" a voice said making the redhead look over to see the Hyuuga walking up to the boy. "What happened to the plan? I thought you were the one who said to keep a low profile and don't let anyone see our skill level."

"I know, but…"

The guy looked at Rin and Sakura, who where standing right next to each other, which made them confused.

...My Line...

"That guy better not be thinking of flirting with Ookami," Minato growled.

'And the overprotective Father makes another appearance,' Jiraiya and Kakashi thought with an eye roll.

The Hatake, however, looked at his Uchiha teammate that he was also glaring at the Gai look alike.

'So, Obito is falling for Sensei's yet to be born Daughter, huh?' he thought to himself. 'I guess, I'll keep that to myself for now.'

...My Line...

"Never mind it's over," the girl said. "Forget it."

The guy then walked up to Sakura, who blinked in confusion.

'Hey, what happened to the bruises that he had before?' Sasuke thought. 'Their gone. Where they fakes?'

"My name is Rock Lee," the guy told her as he walked up to her. "You are Sakura, right?"

"Huh?"

"Please my girlfriend?" Lee asked her as Rin looked sorry for her follow Kunoichi. "I vow to protect you with my life."

...My Line...

"Oh, good," the Namikaze sighed. "At least it's not my little girl."

Obito also looked relived at that.

...My Line...

"Diffidently not," the Haruno answered.

"Why?"

"Because your a weirdo."

Naruto laughed while the redhead felt sorry for Rock Lee.

"Hey, you!" the Hyuuga yelled as he walked up making Sasuke to look at him. "Over here. What's you name?"

'Again?' Naruto asked as he looked pissed. 'It's always about Sasuke!'

...My Line...

'I know how you feel Naruto,' the Uchiha pre-teen thought as he glanced at the silver hair Jonin out of the corner of his eyes.

...My Line...

"It's common courtesy to state you name before asking for some one else," Sasuke answered.

"Hey, your a rookie aren't you?" the Hyuuga asked again. "How old are you anyway?"

"I'm not obliged to answer," Sasuke told him.

"What's that?" Neji asked.

'Cute,' the girl thought.

Rin let out a sigh as she started to walk away from them before Sakura's voice sounded out behind her.

"Naruto, Sasuke, come on let's go," she said before said boys by their hands. "Wait up, Rin!"

The redhead looked back at them and stopped letting them to catch up before she started to walk away again.

...My Line...

"Your Daughter doesn't like dilly-dialing around, does she?" Hiruzen asked with a cackle. "Minato, Kushina."

"It's an Uzumaki thing," the redhead stated. "We don't like waiting around unless we have to."

"I see."

...My Line...

"So those are the misfits that Kakashi and Gai have been going on about. I guess that they passed their first test. Getting their applications through."

"Right. Looks like the exams are going to be fun this year."

"Yeah for us, but maybe not for them."

...My Line...

"Koketsu gotten cute the older he got," Rin said in surprise.

Her two male teammates and Jonin Sensei sweatdropped at that while the rest just raised an eyebrow each.

...My Line...

'So this is the big bad Chunin Exams,' Sasuke thought as they walked up some stairs before scoffing. 'It's a freak show.'

...My Line...

The screen then went dark before they all stood up and stretched.

"Well, time for bed everyone," the Sandaime said.

Minato stayed behind for a bit to talk with his Father real quick as the rest of his group went to their own rooms though Kushina waited for him. The Uzumaki Clan Head knew that her husband had always wanted to know, who his Father was and to have a Father to Son talk, so to find out that his Father was the Nidaime Hokage, who he had looked up to, really made his day. The 21-year-old smiled at him when he walked over to her with a happy gleam in his cobalt blue eyes as the Senju Brothers and the Sage of 6 Paths left for the afterlife before the two walked into their room to get some rest.
