Naruto was running back and forth from a fake rock. After a bit he got irritated and called Konohamaru out on his terrible disguise. The box exploded in three colored smoke after Konohamaru said something. The smoke cleared quickly, revealing Konohamaru without his helmet thing, and two others, a boy and a girl."
"Is that Udon-Sensei and Moegi-Sensei?" Inojin asked?
The three kid before them looked pitifully weak. Those who had them as Senseis couldn't see how these three brats became strong jonins. The kids, mostly konohamaru, were annoyed that Naruto hasn't been around, said the blonde promised to play ninja with them. Sakura came over, she looked depressed as she mocked a Ninja playing Ninja.
"What happened to mom?" Sarada asked.
"I don't know, maybe your dad said something mean?" Boruto said.
He ended up on the ground with a lump on his head. Sakura glared at Naruto. Konohamaru made a gesture with his pinky, the common sign for asking if someone was your girlfriend. Sakura twitched at the thought. Naruto agreed, probably not fully understanding what the gesture meant. Sakura was not happy with his answer. She picked him in the face, sending him flying into a fence. Konohamaru yelled at Sakura while his friends went to go check on the blonde. Konohamaru called Sakura ugly, along with another word. The pink haired girl cracked her knuckles. Sakura started stomping away. Naruto and Konohamaru laid on the ground with lumps on their head. Both boys stood up. Konohamaru called Sakura an ugly wench with a big forehead before asking Naruto if she was really a girl. Sakura stopped walking.
"Uh oh." Sarada said. "Let's hope she doesn't destroy anything."
Sakura turned to face the boys again, her face told them to run and run they did. Moegi and Udon ran as well. Konohamaru pulled out in front, getting ahead of everyone out of fear. Konohamaru was suddenly thrown back, he landed on the ground. He had ran into something.
"Mom!" Shikadai said. "And Uncle Kankuro."
They didn't look that much different then now. Kankuro still wore his all black clothes with his face paint and puppets on his back. Temari was much shorter, her in her usual four ponytails, A giant fan on her back. Everyone stopped running. Sakura's anger had vanished when she, and everyone else saw the two sand ninjas.
"Where's Uncle Gaara?" Shikadai wondered to himself, surveying the scene.
Kankuro grabbed Konohamaru by the front of the shirt.
"That hurt, you punk." The puppet master said, tightening his grip.
"Stop that." Temari said, looking around subtly. "You'll get yelled at later!"
"I'm sorry." Sakura said, trying to defuse the situation and turn the attention of the defenseless kid. "I was fooling around."
Naruto yelled at Kankuro to let go of his friend. He was ignored.
"Let's play with them before the strict one comes around." Kankuro said.
Shikadai wasn't surprised at the cockiness of his Uncle. He was still like that sometime now. Konohamaru tried kicking his captor but they didn't anything except maybe get dirt on his shirt.
"Your pretty lively punk." Kankuro told the boy he was holding.
Naruto charged. He didn't very far as he fell backwards. Kankuro did something. Kankuro insulted the strength of the Leaf's Genin. Naruto tried bluffing but Sakura stopped it. Kankuro was getting more annoyed, said he didn't appreciate the younger ninja for being a smart ass. Said he wanted to break the boy.
Shikadai's eyes widen a bit. He uncle ust threaten to hurt a kid who couldn't fight back. He knew this was the cockiness talking anymore. His mom wasn't helping either, she just said it wasn't on her. Kankuro readied a punch. Naruto ran forward again to try and stop it. Something flew through the air and Konohamaru dropped to the ground. Kankuro was holding his wrist. A rock fell to the ground as well. Kankuro turned around, looking a bit scared, that fear faded quickly we he saw Sasuke.
"What do you think your doing in someone else's village." The dark boy asked, casually sitting in a tree, tossing another rock up and down. Sakura cheered. Kankuro looked irritated. Naruto had of face of 'not again' mixed with 'why?' and 'leave'. Temari had a small blush on her face.
"Get lost." Sasuke told the sand ninjas, crushing the rock he had into dust.
"Hey! Get down here you little punk!" Kankuro calmly demanded. "Your the kind of Smart Ass I hate the most."
Kankuro pulled the puppet of his back, ready to fight. Temari tried to stop him a bit.
"Kankuro." A voice sounded, causing Sasuke to jumped a little. "Stop that."
In the tree, on a different branch, Gaara stood upside down.
"You're an embarrassment to our village."
Everyone was shocked to see the redhead. Even his brother and sister, who looked more scared then shocked.
"G-gaara.." Kankuro said with a smile, his voice sounded nervous.
"Why are they did they become nervous when the Kazekage showed up?" Sarada asked.
"I don't know." Shikadai said.
"Why do you think we came all the way out to the Leaf?" Gaara asked.
"Please hear me out, Gaara." Kankuro stuttered. "They lashed out first."
"Shut up."
Kankuro flinched. Gaara's gaze was cold as he narrowed his eyes.
"I'll kill you."
Kankuro, who was cocky and rude just moments ago, was now scared and timid.
"U-understood." The painted ninja said, holding his hands up in surrender. "I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Temari held up her hand just like Kankuro but didn't say anything.
"What's going on?" Shikadai said. "I have never seen my Uncles act like that."
Gaara turned towards Sasuke.
"I'm sorry about that…"
Gaara stood there a moment before turning into sand and forming by his team in a crouch.
"Let's go." Gaara told the other two. "We didn't come here to play around."
The three Sand Ninjas started walking away.
"Hold on a moment." Sakura called out.
Sakura confirmed they were Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind. Stated that they treaty the two countries are under prohibits ninja visiting the other villages without permits or reason.
Temari showed Sakura her permit, stating the reason they were here to take the Chunin Exams. The scene faded there. Another followed soon after. This one took place in a room with the Third Hokage and a handful of ninja. They recognized the Sixth, Mirai's mom, Gai, Anko, and Iruka.
"Now then, in conjunction with the beginning of the Chunin Exam," The Third started. "Let us first have those in charge of the rookie genin come forward."
Kakashi, Mirai's mom, and a man walked forward.
"It's my dad!" Mirai said, recognizing the person from pictures.
"Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma." The Third said. "So? Are there any Genin from your squads you wish to recommend for these Exams?"
The Third pause for a moment.
"It goes without saying, but if it's a Genin who carried out eight or more formal missions, you can recommend them for the exams if you wish. As a general rule, having carried out more than twice that amount of missions is appropriate."
The Third had Kakashi go first.
"The Kakashi-led squad Seven, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. I, Kakashi Hatake, recommend these three for the Chunin Exam."
Mirai's parents followed in suit, all three jonin recommending their teams for the exams. This caused whispers.
"What's wrong?" Sarada asked, when the whispers started. "It's just the Chunin Exams."
Iruka stepped in, saying, even though he knew that the kids and skill, that they should wait and be tested after more experience. Kakashi rebuffed, saying he became a chunin when he was six years younger than Naruto. Iruka asked if Kakashi was trying to crush Naruto. The Scarecrow said it would be a valuable lesson, and interesting to see, but he was joking. Kakashi told him to stay out of it, that they weren't his students anymore.
"But the Chunin Exam is also known as…" Iruka was cut off by the Hokage.
The Hokage said he knew what Iruka was saying, the he will plan for a special preliminary exam just for the rookies.
The scene faded.
"Hey!" Metal said. "Do you think that the exams were different back then?"
"I don't know." Inojin said. "We never really learned much about the exams except it's held at a different village everytime and that each one are unique depending on the village."
"They could be." Mitsuki said. "Time does change things."
"I doubt it." Boruto said, "Why would it be any different then now?"
"Mirai, what do you think?" Shikadai said.
"I think it will be different." the chunin said. "Mine was harder than your guys' and it was held in the Village hidden in the Mist. Times and Place affect what happened."
A scene came. It showed Team 7 on a bridge. Sakura seemed to yelling something about Kakashi. The man himself showed up on one of the gates on the bridge. He came up with an excuse like usual before jumping down to the ground.
"This might be sudden." Kakashi told them. "But I recommend you guys for the Chunin Exam."
He handed his student their applications and proceeded to explain that the exam was no mandatory and that if they wanted to do it, that they'd sign the paper and go to room 301 at the academy.
The Scene changed.
Naruto was walking when he ran into Konohamaru and his friends. They asked if he could play and she said yes. Suddenly a rain ninja appeared behind Moegi, grabbing her, running away. Naruto and the other two kids followed behind.
"What the hell? Who is that guy?" Boruto asked.
The scene followed the chase. Naruto kept up with the rain ninja but Konohamaru and Udon got left behind. Naruto caught up to him, Moegi was tied to a tree and gagged. Naruto asked what the man wanted and he answered, holding up a kunai. He demanded that Naruto get the Scroll of sealing and he'll let Moegi go.
"What if I saw no?" Naruto asked.
"You don't care what happened to this brat?" the Rain Ninja asked.
"Heh, I'm fine with whatever happened to that bunch of straw." Naruto said.
The Rain Ninja turned back, his hostage was now a straw dummy, above him was a clone and Moegi.
"When did he do that?" Mitsuki asked.
The ninja was about to jump at the clone to get his hostage back but more Narutos came, one threw a net on him and three others dog piled on top on it. Naruto got distracted by Konohamaru and Udon. When he turned back to the Rain Ninja he was got, replaced with a rock. The scene faded there and another appears.
Kakashi sat on the roof of some building. The Rain Ninja from earlier appeared.
"How was it?" Kakashi asked.
"We went through the trouble of have a special preliminary exam." The rain ninja said, "But all nine rookies passed."
The Rain Ninja turned into Iruka.
"It's as you say, their skills definitely improved.
That was all the scene showed before another took its place, this time in front of the academy. Sakura walked up to Naruto and Sasuke, who were waiting outside.
"You're late." Naruto said, but not in a mean way.
Sakura apologized and said good morning to Sasuke before heading in. The walked up the stairs and was met with a crowded hallway.
"So many people!" Sarada.
The sound of someone getting hit was heard, followed by sounds of worry and concern. The scene shifted, showing a boy with bushy brows, black, shining hair in a bowl cut, and was wearing a deep green bodysuit. It was Rock Lee.
"Dad?" Metal Lee said. "Awesome we get to see more people!"
Lee was on the ground, having been the one to get hit. Two othe Genin were blocking the door that said 301 above it. They insulted Lee, saying the weak greenhorns had no chance in the exams and that they should go home.
"Please." Tenten said meekly. "Let us in."
She walked forward, trying to get into the room
"Strange." Metal Lee said. "I've never known Tenten to be weak, even dad said she was strong and skilled while still a genin."
Tenten was hit back, landing next to Lee.
"That was mean." Someone in the crowd said.
"What was that?" The genin with three bandages on his face said, on of the guarding the door. "Listen. We're being nice to you. The Chunin Exam is a huge hurdle."
"Many times we've seen people quit being Ninja as well as some being disabled for life." The other said. "Just because they took this exam."
The eight tensed. What they said sounded like what happens after a war not what happened during a Chunin Exam.
"I but their lying to fake the weak willed out." Boruto said, crossing his arms behind his head, turning his nose up at the scene.
"Also, a Chunin is at the level of a Unit Leader." The first one said. "Mission failures, death of subordinates, it's all the responsibility of a leader."
Team 7 showed up in the middle of the conversation.
"What's so bad about weeding out those who won't pass anyways?" The second one asked.
"A just argument." Sasuke said walking forward with his team. "However, you will let me through."
Sasuke walked even close by himself.
"And could you also immediately this barrier created by Genjutsu?" he said. "I have business on the third floor."
The two guards weren't happy they've been found out. Sasuke had Sakura explain the obvious, they were only on the second floor. The 301 sign turned into 201.
"Well done." The first guard said. "But all you've done is catch on."
The guard moved for a kick. Sasuke moved as well with a kick of his own. Suddenly, Lee appeared in between the two, stopping the kicks with his hand.
"Wow!" Chocho said. "I don't think even your that fast Metal."
Lee let the two go. Sasuke put his leg down while the guard cartwheeled away.
"Hey." A long haired boy said. "This isn't what we promised."
His eyes showed he was of the Hyuga Clan.
"Is that your Uncle, Boruto?" Mitsuki asked.
"I think so." The blonde said, suddenly more interested.
His mom always talked about how great and strong his Uncle Neji was.
Neji was scolding Lee, saying he was the one who didn't want to attract attention and be watched. Lee turned to Sakura with a blush. He moved towards her and the scene that followed was comedic. Metal Lee's dad full on confess his love for Sakura, only for her to flat out, harshly, reject him. Neji was asking Sasuke for his name, he in return, in the end either go the other's name. Sakura got the boys to move on. They headed to the third floor.
The scene faded into another one. Team 7 stood outside room 301, Kakashi was there as well.
Kakashi then explained that he lied earlier, that only three man squad could register for the exams. His reasoning was he didn't want Naruto and Sasuke to force her into doing the exams if she didn't feel ready. Kakashi told them they were a team and that he was proud of them. He moved aside to let his students enter the room. Inside the room were many people, some didn't look like genin to the eight but they were. A lot looked strong, others not so much. The air was tense.
"Sasuke, you're late!" a girl's voice said.
Sasuke was then hugged from behind by a long haired blonde. It was Ino.
"Now my mom showed up." Inojin said.
Sasuke looked irritated by her as she explain got excited to his him after a while. Sakura told Ino to get off of Sasuke. The two girls had a small banter fest.
"What's up with this." A lazy voice said, "Are you guys taking this bothersome Exam, too?"
There was no question it was Shikadai's dad. He looked just like him. A larger boy stood next to him, eating a bag of chips. It was Choji.
"Oh! And my dad too." Chocho said
"Yo! I found you!" another voice called out.
Three more people came. It was Kiba, Shino, and Hinata.
"Oh wow!" Chocho said. "Your mom is so cute, Boruto!"
Boruto just grunted.
"I guess the other two are Uncle Kiba and Shino-Sensei." Mirai said. "Wow Akamaru is so small."
Shikamaru was annoyed that all nine rookie genin were taking the exams. Kiba was talking with a very cocky voice. They were not paying attention to how much noise they were making. The became tenser at the nine's relaxed tones.
"Hey! You guy!" An unfamiliar person said, walking over to them. "Your should be a little quieter."
(this chapter had a lot in it. I'm sorry if you wanted to see Sasuke's and Lee's mini fight but I didn't see a point in having the New Era kids see the fight, nothing really happened. I was also going to make this longer but it was already so long. I hope you enjoyed reading this, i'd like to know how I'm doing or if you guys have any questions,)
