Author: nothing much really.

Zexion72: grins, Hey, no one complains about pay raises, what can I say? Thanks for the review.

john: thank you, and I'm glad that you like the story.

Iceprincess421: strokes chin,I might just be able to bring her in, but not right now. I need to 'entertwine' her into the story, I can't just make her pop up out of thin air. She should be able to show up after the jounin exams, since I already have that part planned out. The end to the exams isn't going to be for a long time...oh well, it gives me time to develope her personality.

commonless: Well, what can I say. she dose stop studdering, after the eighth chapter, but if your reading this, then you must already know that.

yhj: claps, yah, you, out of many that have read this story, managed to find that. It's something I like to do in this story. If people were to go back and read over it carefully, they could probably find a few more of those as well...

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Enjoy the fic.

A test of Dreams...(part 1)

A group of bushes rustled slightly as Tsuchi Kin stepped into a small clearing. She looked around the are, making sure to check every inch of the place. She needed to know if someone was near, she needed to be alert of the immediate area. She listened closely for any sounds for anything that could be approach her current position. She checked every small detail to make sure so that she would not be caught off guard.

She continued to do this for a few minutes before she was satisfied and sat down. She reached behind her and went through her pouch. Until she finally found what she was looking for. The item in question was a bag of chips. Now must of you must be thinking ' what the fuck?' at this point so let me explain.

You see it all starts with how men and women are built, men have a large, muscular look and women having a small, slim look. This applies's to many, but not all people, mostly shinobi's. Since they need to stay fit to be able to go through the countless missions that they go through. Though there are some shinobi that need to look frail or large to be able to accomplish their missions, but that's getting of the point.

Most females in Kin's village tend to keep a small figure in order to find someone since, to be blunt, the males in the village only see body not mind. So if a female was caught eating junk food, it was frowned upon. Kin only had one thing to say to the people of her village when they caught her eating junk food.

"If you don't like it go fuck yourselves."

At the time she was extremely hungry and pissed, so it was the only natural answer. Kin didn't give a shit about the village's little moral, she would eat whatever she wanted when ever she wanted. If she chose to wake up in the middle of the night and eat two roasted boars then so be it ( actually she did do that once, just to inform you.)Of course when her jounin-sensei found out about this, she made a deal with her team mates.

If they made sure that Kin was eating healthy food byproducts then she would give them a set amount of money for every time that they caught her. How she knew this? Her team mates came to her and told her themselves. They always did know what to do when it came to her...and her junk food. Besides, if she were to be separated from it, a rain of hell and suffering would fall upon them.

Which gave them all the more reason not to look for her. Never separate her and her lunch, speaking of which..

Kin frowned, as she looked down at her hand. One chip left, one misally little chip left and she had already gone through the other bags. Kin sighed, as she begun bringing the chip towards her mouth. She only had one thing to say about this.

" The last chip...is always the hardest to finish."

Just as she was about to eat it she heard a rustling coming from the bushes. She quickly pulled out a kunai, as she spun around in time to see a LARGE blur pass by her, actually it knocked her down. She wondered what the hell had happened, before she took notice of the large ( waist wise) man in front of her.

He looked around 16 and had long brown hair, I mean seriously the hair was almost as big as the guy himself. He wore a black body suit, and a type of rope around his waist, several pouches on the rope. He had a watermelon on his back, it being carried in a net type bag. The man was hunched over like an animal and was apparently eating something. ( his back was to her.) Kin stood up, as she wondered what it could be that he was eating until she felt that their was something missing from her hand.

Her chip...was gone...

" What the hell? That's my chip your eating you jackass!" The girl yelled, as the man turned around to face her. He had black armor covering his chest and arms and a cloth that was hanging down from the rope belt showed the symbol of Konoha. He had red swirls on his cheeks, he was licking his fingers.

" I always get the last bite..." There was a awkward silence between the two, before the man moved all of a sudden. He actually moved faster then Kin thought someone of his size could, causing her to be caught off guard and fall on her ass when he suddenly appeared in front of her. His face now having a sheepish smile, while he rubbed the back of his head.

" Sorry about that, it's an old habit that I've been trying to break now." The man said, as he pulled Kin to her feet. Well actually he lifted her up considering how strong he was. He then begun to wipe the dirt away from her shirt and pants, managing to get all the dirt off with out going to any of the more private regions.

" There you go, and to show that I'm sorry about knocking you down over a chip." The man reached into one of the pouches in his belt and pulled out a large bag of chips. She didn't know how he managed to put a bag that big in something so small...and at this point she really didn't care. The man handed her the bag, while Kin took it eagerly.

"Sorry again." Kin wasn't paying much attention to him, since she was to busy shoving the bag into her pouch. A frown appeared on her face when she discovered that the damn thing was only able to go half way in. The man stared at her in confusion until he slapped his forehead.

" Of course, I forgot to make it to were you could fit the bag in there. Please hand me your pouch.: The man said, as Kin hesitated for a moment, before silently handing her pouch to him. The man then sat down, as he pulled out some ink and a brush. He dipped the brush into the ink and began to draw some seals inside her pouch. When he was done, he put away the ink and brush, and handed her bag back to her.

" Try it now." the man said, as Kin was able to easily put the bag of chips into her pouch. Kin looked back towards the man. " I increased the amount and size of objects you can carry in the pouch by making it to were any object that enters the bag will be three times smaller until it's taken back out." The man stood up, as he smiled at the sight of Kin drooling offer the bag and all the possibilities of storing items.

" Well now that your able to store the chips, I think I'd be best if I be on my-."

"Choji!" The mans face immediately turned to horror as he recognized the voice that was calling for him. " Choji, where the hell are you!" The man's face switched to panic, as he quickly looked around the area, before looking back at Kin.

" Tell her that I'm not here." the man said, as Kin looked at him in confusion. Before she could ask, the man rolled up into a ball and into some bushes. A second later, a very pissed female came through another set of bushes.

A women around the age of 16 stood before Kin. She was about her height and had long blond hair that was kept in a pony tail, the women's bangs covering her right eye. She wore a purple shirt only covered her breast and came down to about mid waist, the shirt itself having a large zipper going down it. She wore a fishnet shirt under it, the shirt covering the rest of her waist and her collar bones ,along with her shoulders. She wore bandages around her hands as well.

She wore a skirt that was cut at the sides, only covering the front and back. Bandages covered her thighs and apparently everything else underneath the skirt. She wore sandles as well. The girl looked over at Kin, her pissed expression never changing.

"Hey have you seen a large man with brown hair around here?" the women asked, as Kin pointed in the opposite direction. " Thanks." and with that, the girl headed in that direction. A few minutes later the large man came out of the bushes, smiling sheepishly once again.

" Thank you for covering for me. My team mate is in one of those moods again." The man said, as he held out his hand. " I never got to properly introduce myself, I'm Akimichi Choji." Kin reached her hand out and shook Choji's.

" I'm Tsuchi Kin, it's nice to meet you." Kin said, as Choji pulled his hand back..

" Same here, I would really like to stay here and chat, but my team mate will probably pass back through here. So it you'll excuse me." Choji then proceed to run like hell, in the attempt of putting as much distance between him and his female teammate. Kin just stared in the direction that Choji headed, before heading back towards her teams area. At least now she would be able to eat more chips now...

"Man there's nothing to do." Shizune stated, as she looked over at her three students. " And you guy's being quite doesn't help much." she stated, as the three looked up at her. Irvine had came back a little while ago, disappointed that he wasn't able to see his other sensei, but it was all good. He did, oh ever, meet one of the people that helped him run his families shop...Tenten, she thought her name was.

That was pretty much his excuse for being late and it worked. Hey, this wasn't Kakashi we were talking about, I mean that man is horrible when it comes to excuses. The other two didn't really seem to mind really. Actually, Hanabi didn't give a shit and Okami just shrugged it off. The three were now quite as hell, all of them just sitting around and waiting for the jounin exams to start. Hanabi in a meditative sitting position, while Okami, Irvine, and Shizune had their backs up against the same tree.

"I mean come on." Shizune said, as she stood up and looked towards Irvine. "Hey Irvine, lets go find something to do." Shizune said, as she waited for Irvine to respond. " Irvine?" light snoring could be heard, while Okami looked over at Shizune.

"Shizune-sensei, I think Irvine is sleeping." Okami stated, as Shizune looked over at her. A grin slowly started to form on Shizune's face.

" Hey, Okami, do you mind waking him up for me? You know..." Shizune signaled for Okami to use her families traits, while Okami just continued to stare at her.

" That's not what their used for." Okami stated, as Shizune pouted a bit.

" Come on."

" No."

" Please."

" No."

" But It would be hilarious!"

" No it wouldn't."

" You know you want to."

" No."

" All well, but you have to admit, he dose look cute when he's asleep."

" Ye-."

Okami stopped in mid sentence, as she turned back to face the direction that she previously was, while Shizune laughed to her hearts content. Hanabi just opened one of her eye's and replied to all this shit in a way befitting her.

" Idiots..."

"Where the hell is he!" Sakura yelled, as Sasuke and Kakashi just stared at her. Sure, they were one of the teams that arrived later then the other teams, but Naruto had yet to show up period. First both her and Sasuke had to wait at the teams training grounds for three hours before Kakashi showed up and now, they had to put up with this bullshit from Naruto. She thought about all the ways she could make him suffer for keeping such a women waiting.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, as he watched Sakura scheme. Sasuke looked over at Kakashi, who was leaning against a tree and enjoying one of his more 'interesting' books. Sasuke then looked back over Sakura, who was still steaming.

" What's with her?" Sasuke asked all of a sudden, as Kakashi looked towards him.

" I think she's having her period." Kakashi said, as Sasuke gave a small nod. He looked over at Sakura, who had turned in their direction.

" What..did..you..say?" Sakura demanded, more than asked, as Kakashi waved his hands defensively while Sasuke just sweat dropped.

"N-Nothing at all Sakura." Kakashi stated, as Sakura glared at him, before turning around and fuming some more. Kakashi sighed in relief as his eye's looked over to his right.

" I the words of a genius that I met on the way here, women are too troublesome." Naruto stated, as Sasuke and Sakura looked over at him. Sakura glared at him with such intensity that Naruto slightly shivered. Naruto just stared back at her lazy.

" NA-RU-TO." Sakura said, as Naruto put out his hands defensively .

" Wait I can explain." Naruto said, as Sakura froze in place. She was apparently waiting for an answer. Naruto glanced over at Kakashi, who slightly nodded. Naruto sighed, as he turned to face Sakura.

" I hope this works." " I got lost on the road to life."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You know, it really was a good thing that Naruto sent out a bunshin instead of going out to face them...or her. He thought that it was a really good idea when he saw the clone be sent through several tree's, as they all fell on him one after another.

" Ouch.." Naruto thought, as he watched the clone poof out of existence. He then teleported towards the group and landed in the tree that Kakashi was leaning back against. Kakashi knew that he was there, that much he figured out, but what about the others? Nope, they seemed to be putting to much attention into the decoy. Honestly, it was like babysitting a bunch of children with super human strength. Ah well, he'd have them trained soon enough.

Naruto's body flickered, as he appeared right beside Kakashi, who was having a rather found time of reading his book. Naruto looked over at his two teammates and sighed. He then looked over at the tower, Kakashi also looking over at it. Bells begun to ring, as all the shinobi in the immediate turned towards the tower.

Many teams had come here from all around the world. Some coming from minor villages, while others came from the six great villages of the elemental nations. They had come here for one thing and one thing only. They were going to test themselves, physically, mentally, and emotionally to see if they truly were strong enough to accomplish their dreams.

Naruto looked at the tower in amusement.

" Time to have some fun with the rookies." Naruto thought, as the doors to the tower slowly opened...
