Konoha Academy Entrance

Tension was high in the air. Chuunin wannabe's from far and wide had made their way to this building for their chance at promotion. The three genin were no different from the rest of said hopefuls barring maybe the amount of power they held in comparison to the rest of them. They all stopped at the same time finally noticing each other for the first time in two weeks. As team 7 stopped and stared at each other a similar consensus was reached by all three of them. 'They've gotten much stronger. Will it be enough?'

Naruto broke the silence first. "Yo, Sakura, Sasuke, we ready to show up every other village?"

Sasuke smirked. "Light work dobe, don't drag me down." Then sasuke did a really cool walk without watching where he was going. And promptly walked head-first into a wall. '….Fuck.'

Sakura stood there and sighed. 'Morons.' Her stint with the resident sociopaths had done her well to break her of her fangirl tendencies. Not to say she didn't still have them. Just that they had been severely beaten down during her training. "Come on, lets go inside we're burning daylight out here."

The three made their way into the building. Their first step to promotion. Team 7 had resurfaced in Konoha, and they were going to make a bang.

Meanwhile – Hokage Tower

Sarutobi sat in his tower having just finished his latest batch of paperwork. He stared down onto the village that he adored and protected every day of his life. A slight up turn of his brow the only indicator that he had been slightly disturbed. "Reveal yourself."

"Hokage-sama?" questioned his ever-present guard. There was nobody in the room, not that they could sense anyway.

That was until a shadow morphed into the shape of a man. The ANBU moved to intercept until they saw who it was. A bloody and tired looking Kakashi merged out of the wall. The ANBU stopped in their tracks. A tired Kakashi was twitchy, and a twitchy Kakashi was dangerous. Really dangerous.

Hiruzen released a breath and commanded. "Leave us."

"Hokage-sama?"

The hokage flared a bit of his presence and turned, staring his guard detail in the eye. "Do I make myself clear?"

"Hai hokage-sama." All 4 of his guards left the room in a flicker. Waiting just outside, prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Kakashi waited a moment making sure they had true privacy before standing straight and saluting. "Mission complete, Hokage-sama. He put up a fight befitting someone of his status but in the end, he fell, like they all do. They won't suspect Konoha, even if they do. Nobody in that village can challenge us."

"Once again Kakashi you serve your village well. You still say no to the hat?"

"It is not in my nature Hokage-sama, I was born and bred to kill, not to lead."

"I see, I suppose I'll have to try and convince one of my students to take it from me. I'm getting old Kakashi, I suspect Jiraiya can handily beat me now with all of the tricks up his sleeve."

"Hai- Hokage-sama. Will that be all?" Questioned Kakashi, he wanted to be out of here so he could see his students. He had missed his brats.

"You're free to go Kakashi, rest and freshen up before you see your kids though, they will undoubtedly ask why you've come back in such a state."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Kakashi flickered out of the room and back to his apartment to get some well-earned rest. There was a storm coming, and he had just activated the catalyst for it all.

Konoha Academy Second Floor

Team 7 cautiously made their way up the stairs of the academy they had been attending less than a year ago. The place seemed almost foreign to them with how much they had experienced in their short but eventful careers. As they reached the second floor, they could hear plenty of commotion. It seemed that a pair of chuunin were barring the entrance for room 302. The three genin all looked at each other with an eyebrow cocked '302?'

Sakura indicated upwards and got two nods in response. Leaving a group of bewildered and quite clearly unprepared genin to deal with a room that was being guarded for no apparent reason other than to weed out the useless.

Team 7 made their way to the third floor, as they reached it, they saw room 302 and started making their way towards it. Only to be intercepted by a green missile?

"Are you the kid their all talking about? The prodigy? Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Go away."

"I am Rock Lee! and I have made it my personal mission to show you hard work will always outshine talent! Fight me!"

"No, I'm busy, go away."

"Yosh, you leave me no choice. I will accept the challenge for you!" Rock Lee blurred towards Sasuke at speeds unfollowable to the untrained eye. He grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground. Sasuke lay there, unmoving.

"It's as they say talent will only get you so far!" Lee shouted with vigour, proud that he could defeat someone apparently naturally talented with ease.

"It's as they say indeed, Might Gai's student is eager to show himself off and will almost fatally bullrush into anybody that he deems of a higher social standing." Sasuke spoke from his position on the ground.

"What…?" the ball dropped and then so did the illusion. Rock Lee hadn't moved from his position. Team 7 had though. Sasuke had a kunai to his neck, Naruto and Sakura watched on in apathy, clearly ready to fight though, should the need arise.

"Pick your fights better Lee, especially with people that are aware of your weaknesses."

Lee stared at the ground. His whole body had gone red and he was trembling. He hadn't been this embarrassed in years. "Sorry Sasuke-kun, I let my emotions get the better of me. Forgive me."

"All is forgotten about, just keep your energy for other villages. Now, go away."

Naruto and Sakura stared on in shock, Sasuke was never this…. Nice? Maybe his training had done him some good. Their shock was clearly visible on their faces. As Sasuke turned around he saw his teammates shocked visages and simply said "What?"

"Oi Sasuke, you've never been this nice. What happened? You going soft?"

"Go, away." He replied.

"Whatever we don't have time for this. Sasuke, Naruto, shut up. We're going to take this exam by storm. Time to show the world what team 7 is made of." Sakura boasted confidently.

Team 7 entered the room with a bang

"WHO'S READY TO DIE?" Naruto shouted out trying to draw the ire of the whole room.

And draw the ire he did. All of the foreign genin turned into this quite clearly rookie team with looks of disdain and hatred, whilst most of the Konoha teams turned in and sighed. Well used to Naruto's hijinks by now.

Scanning the room they spotted team 8 and team 10. Both looking equally as nervous as each other.

Kiba was the first to respond. "Who says you would even last 5 seconds with me dobe."

Naruto turned his head towards Kiba. "Try me, bitch."

Shino had to hold Kiba back and remind him that Naruto would most certainly kick his ass if he tried it. Naruto had been well renowned for his physical strength in the academy, and under Kakashi's tutoring it had only become better.

*Enter stage slimy sleazebag*

"Hey kids, you wanna get free information on the the other competitors" Ah yes this was totally inconspicuous and totally normal. Of course a genin would have information on genin from each village right? Right?!

Team 7 had already been briefed on Kabuto by Kakashi. There were plans in place for this worm.

"Shame those sound fuckers suck, am I right?"

Said sound genin tried to attack Kabuto when they heard this. Key word, "Tried"

As soon as the trioe moved to attack Kabuto, Kakashi's genin watched them make the assault.

"Why are they so slow?"

"I don't know"
"Should we stop them?"

"Yeah why not?"

The sound genin got within 3 feet of Kabuto and were all of a sudden stopped.

Naruto held one in a neck crank slowly putting one to sleep. Sasuke quite simply slammed the other into the floor and Sakura held the girl of the trio by her head. "Try anything and I squeeze, I will explode your head."

At that moment Ibiki poofed in using ninja magic.

"What is going on hre?!"

"Just taking out the trash sir"

'Of course it's Kakashi's team. Trouble follows that man like a lost ex.'

"Alright Gaki's well put em down so we can begin this exam. I'm sick of looking at em"

"So here's how the exam is going to go!"

I am absolutely not writing this shit. Fuck you, you know what happens. This is not even worth writing. Complain if you want I do not care you can sincerely fuck yourself.

Minutes Later

"It's the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi here to save the day!" Anko entered the classroom through the window with as much flair as she normally has.

"Oi Ibiki, why is there so may left in here?"

"See the little blone fucker? Front and centre?"

"Oh hey Naruto!"

"Yo Anko!"

"Yeah I see em, what did he do now?"

"Ruined the whole exam, the kid is a demon, out here making people inspired. I need a new job and a stiff drink, I'm out."

"Bye Ibiki-san" Waved Konoha's most notorious troublemakers.

"So brats, you all passed stage one, now it's time for my favourite part! The forest of death Or as Naruto and I like to call it, the local playground. Arrive there tomorrow at 9 AM sharp or you fail Ja ne!" and with that Anko somersaulted out of the room the same way she entered. Through the window.

"Well that was as uninformative as it as uneventful. See you guys at the forest of death" With that Naruto took his leave.

"I suppose we better get ready for tomorrow ne sasuke-kun?"

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

That's all you're getting from me. Fuck the chuunin exams and double fuck you. I cannot wait to get this shit over with. I couldn't even shout out 2k words for this bullshit.
