A few minutes later, at training ground 45
Sakura, Kakashi, and Sasuke were already at the training ground when Naruto appeared.
"Hey guys!" Naruto called, walking up to them.
"I'll kill you!" Sasuke roared, while being held back by a struggling Sakura and Kakashi.
"Not right now Sasuke, you can kill him later." Kakashi said calmly, his face buried in the famous perverted novel.
Unfortunately for Team Seven's sensei, Naruto grabbed it out his hands, ran to the other end of the training grounds, and preformed a katon jutsu, reducing the beloved book into a pile of ash.
"Why did you do that to my book?" Kakashi asked, his face twisted into a pained expression.
"Simple, I got tired of looking at it." Naruto grinned cheekily.
"I'll get you later." Kakashi growled; his tone assured a thorough beating. "Anyway, the Chuunin exams are coming up and I nominated you for this year, isn't that great?" Kakashi said with sarcastic enthusiasm.
Sakura, skeptical of her sensei's decision, finally spoke up. "Sensei, are you sure we're ready?"
"Of course you are, now you guys think it over and if you want to join sign on the paper and then give it to me." Kakashi said in one breath. "So, see you later." With that hurried goodbye, Kakashi performed a series of hand symbols and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
They all looked at the sheets of paper in their hands, thinking very hard. Well, all except for Naruto and Sasuke, who just signed it.
"Wait, aren't you even gonna think about!" Sakura shrieked, her concern was as clear as day in her voice.
"Why? I don't doubt my skills and nether does Sasuke-teme." Naruto said with a small chuckle, which turned into a cackle and then a moth flew into his gaping mouth.
A few moments later after a coughing fit
"I'm afraid that I have to agree with the dobe on this one." Sasuke said walking ahead.
"Well, I'm leaving, come back when you have some courage," challenged Naruto as he headed into town.
"I am gonna go home and train, you want to come wi-" Sasuke tried to say as two snake-like heads burst out of the ground and pulled him under, leaving a confused and screaming Sakura.
Two minutes later Sasuke's hands shot out of the ground as he dug his way out. Sakura quickly ran to him and kneeled down, checking him for injuries.
"Are you okay? What was that thing!" She asked while backing up from the boy with the killer intent in his eyes and pitch-black aura surrounding his body.
"I don't know, but it came as soon as Naruto left, so it was one of his pranks," He snarled through tightly clenched teeth.
"Well, I don't mean to be rude, but you need to take a shower." Sakura complained, holding up a hand to cover her nose.
Taking a look at himself Sasuke declared, "Yeah, I think I will," and began walking through the shadows.
Sakura just stood and watched him until he left her sight and then went off to do what she wanted.
With Naruto
Naruto walked merrily down a street when suddenly, a square began following him.
Naruto let out an annoyed sigh. "What do you want, Konohamaru?" Naruto said in monotone voice. The rock stopped and exploded.
One coughing fit later, "I think we used too much gun powder." Hacked a blackened Konohamaru
"I will ask again, what do you want?" Naruto stated while crossing his arms and putting on a stern look.
"We want you to play ninja with us!" Konohamaru cheered.
"And why would a ninja play being a ninja?" asked Sakura, unexpectedly appearing.
"Hey Sakura! Did you finally get some confidence?" Naruto asked with a huge smile
"Hey, boss, is this your girl friend?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto burst out laughing and Sakura drove her fist into his face. The force of her blow slammed his body into the nearby wall.
"Boss! Why did you that, you fire breathing hag?" Konohamaru yelled.
A second later, an angry Sakura was cracking her knuckles while stomping away and an abused Naruto and Konohamaru were lying on the ground.
"Jeez, what a punch, is she even female?" Konohamaru said. Sakura froze.
"Guys, run for your lives." Naruto said, quickly getting up and breaking into a galloping run.
While running as fast as they could, they took a sharp turn and slammed into someone. A boy dressed in black with strange facial markings; a blonde girl stood behind him
"That hurt you little brat," said the figure in black, his eyes narrowing into slits. He picked up Konohamaru and began to shake him.
"Hey! Put him down, you… cat-eared freak!" Naruto quickly shouted, seeing that the hood the figure wore resembled cat ears and that he couldn't think of any other insult. This extremely senseless insult, however, did strike a nerve in the yet-to-be-named character. He threw Konohamaru towards Naruto, causing the two bodies to slam painfully together.
"I am not a freak, you shrimp!" the figure yelled back while tightly clenching his fists.
That insult sent Naruto into a frenzy. He made a mad dash towards the boy and kicked him in the stomach and followed with a few punches to head.
"That had to hurt." the figure's female friend nonchalantly stated while leaning against the fence.
After the blows were done being delivered, the figure stood up and was about to untie the thing he had on his back, but a chilling voice suddenly called out, "Kankuro, Temari, stop your foolishness."
"H-hi Gaara." The now named figure, Kankuro, shakily greeted, quivering. Naruto turned to where Kankuro was looking and saw a redhead in the nearby tree peering down at them with unreadable face and blank, cold eyes.
Naruto took a quick look at the other two ninja now that he had the chance.
"Judging by your hitai-ate, you guys are from Suna. You're here for the Chuunin exams, am I right?" Naruto questioned and glared at the three.
"Correct." Gaara said, his voice plain and uncaring.
"Great. Another emo kid, just what we need." Naruto grumbled. "By the way, my name is Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said with a sigh. Shocked looks crossed Temari and Kankuro's faces and they began to back away from him.
"We'll see you back at the hotel, Gaara." Kankuro said before running away with Temari. Naruto watched them leave with a confused look while Gaara simply stared straight at him.
"I should kill you right now, but I don't want to cause a war." Gaara spoke up.
"Eh?" Naruto said, and quickly moved closer to Gaara, making Gaara's eyes widen in surprise, and then narrow at the invasion of his personal space.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Gaara's eye twitched. "It is becoming increasingly difficult not to kill you." Gaara said.
"You look horrible. Are you depressed?" Naruto inquired.
"I have a monster that toys with my mind every night, I can never get any sleep," Gaara said.
" I have a monster as well. So, we really are alike, you and I, except that I can express emotion and my monster doesn't make me go insane each night." Naruto said.
"Who do you hold?" Gaara asked, curious.
"Godzilla, King of the Kaiju. What about you?" Naruto said in cool and intrigued voice.
"Ghidorah, the three headed dragon." Gaara said, making G perk up and open a mind link.
'Hey Ghidorah, how are you?' G said.
"How do you think I am? I'm trapped inside this kid!" Ghidorah shouted.
'Hey I'm stuck in a kid too, but you don't see me complaining.' G said taking a drink of his red wine.
'Well, your kid is probably fun, this guy just mopes around and kills people all day.' Ghidorah groaned.
'Are you screwing his mind up?' G questioned.
'I might be,' Ghidorah snapped.
'Well, there is your dang problem.' G snarled in frustration.
'There is nothing else to do in here but that.' Ghidorah whined.
'What, you mean you didn't know that with enough concentration you could turn the space into anything you want'? G asked with an incredulous tone.
'No one ever told me that I could...,' Ghidorah mumbled.
'Well you could, but you might have damaged his mind beyond repair now,' G said in an explanatory way
'Um, whoops,' Ghidorah chuckled, making G sweat drop.
'One more question, did you make a deal were he can transform into your form?' G asked.
'Would you be mad if I mad yes?' Ghidorah replied.
'Maybe, it depends on your answer,' G said, his agitation growing.
'Then yes,' Ghidorah said sheepishly.
'What were you thinking!' G yelled.
'I was hungry,' Ghidorah said.
'I'm sorry that I have to cut this conversation short, but we have to go, Naruto said breaking into the mind link.
'We're not finished with this Ghidorah!' G shouted.
'See you later, G!' Ghidorah shouted cheekily.
The next morning in Naruto's apartment. The day of the Chuunin exam. Typewriter noise in the background
Naruto awoke to an unusual noise in his apartment. When he opened his eyes, he noticed something different about his ceiling. It was covered by a swarm of lizards. He looked at the rest of the room only to find it the same as the ceiling.
'G, I have a question for you,' Naruto said with a tint of anger and confusion.
'Yeah what is it?' G asked waking up.
'Why is there a swarm of lizards in my room?' Naruto calmly asked, eyeing the lizards.
'Oh, yes, them. Well, this is another bonus… of a sort,' G mumbled. 'Even though they haven't been summoned, they'll listen to your commands. It's like having a well trained reptilian army.'
'So, if I told them to "get out and don't come back until I tell you" they would?' Naruto growled.
'Yes they would listen,' G said, uncertain.
Exactly three seconds later
"Out! Get out you lizards!" Naruto screamed as he threw open the front door for the swarm to get out through.
Unfortunately, the rest of Team Seven was standing in front of the doorway when the swarm left his humble abode.
A second or two passed between the group. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura looked at Naruto while he looked at them.
This went on a while longer until Kakashi broke the silence with a question, "Was that your summoning contract?"
"Um no, that, by G's words, is another power I have. It seems that I am able to control the local reptile population." Naruto explained, his face twisting in strange ways.
Even after the explanation, they continued to stare. The tension in the air became as thick as a donut with a concrete filling.
The dark, brooding Uchiha spoke, "Can we leave now? Because if we don't, we are going to be late!" He yelled, the anger visible in his eyes.
"Fine, but you don't to yell so loudly though," Naruto griped.
Sasuke twitched.
Later, at the exam place
"Okay, the exam is going to be on the third floor." With that statement, Kakashi disappeared in a poof of smoke.
Once they reached the inside of the building they were meet with a large crowd at a doorway. Two people stood at the top.
"Wonder what's going on?" Naruto said.
Then the man at the top began to speak, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you in." He said with a sneer.
"But why?" A girl said before being hit and rolled down.
Some people in crowd began to whisper about how cruel they were.
"Huh, you think we're being cruel, we're being actually nice. We've taken the Chuunin exam before and failed each time." One of the two men said.
That is when Naruto decided to stop listening.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"To the third floor, where else?" Naruto said with a smirk.
"I guess you saw through the gen-jutsu, but you still have to get through me." He yelled as they both prepared to kick each other.
As their kicks were about to collide, a boy in green spandex intercepted them in his hands.
"Here is not the place to fight," The boy said before letting go of their legs.
"Lee! I thought we agreed not to show off," said a girl coming out of the crowd.
"Sorry, I guess that I got carried away," Lee scratched the back of his head.
"Come guys, let's go." Naruto said heading towards the stairs.
"Wait, what's your name?" Asked a white-eyed boy.
"What's yours?" countered Naruto.
"I asked you first," The boy snapped.
"Uzumaki Naruto, now yours?" Naruto asked.
"Hyuuga Neji," He said.
The tension in the air once again become thick until,
"And I'm Rock Lee!" the boy in the bright green spandex shouted, effectively destroying the mood.
"Lee, would you please shut up!" shouted Neji, his cool exterior melting like a swan ice sculpture at room temperature.
"Well, see you later." Naruto said waving a hand as farewell and turning around, with Sasuke and Sakura in tow, towards the third floor.
When they reached the third floor, they found that is was even more crowded than the other floors.
"Dang, look at all the freaks," Naruto said with a low whistle.
This caused everyone's killer intent to rise and be directed towards him.
"You really shouldn't draw attention to yourselves," said a silver haired boy.
"And why should I care what you say, you four-eyed freak?" Naruto snapped, annoyed.
"I'm going to ignore that. By the way, my name is Kabuto."
"Do I look like I care?" Naruto grumbled.
"I would kill you right now, but I don't want to make a scene," Kabuto smiled, but was inwardly trying to hold in his rage.
"This place is boring, I might as well spice it up." Naruto snapped his fingers and made a low pitch whistle that lasted for a second.
All was quiet; not even the sound of a lonely cricket was heard. Then, the ground began to tremble, objects on the table fell off, and people were slammed into walls. Suddenly the left corner window shattered and a multitude of reptiles crawled through. Geckos, Skinks, Iguanas, and even a Komodo dragon (however, that one that came through the door). The rest of reptiles just sat around lazily, except for the Komodo. It immediately went to Naruto's side.
"Hey, Scales." Naruto said, patting the top of Komodo's head.
"I should have know that you were behind this, Naruto," Kiba said as he and the rest of Team Eight emerged from the crowd.
"Hey Kiba, Shino, and Hinata-chan," Naruto said causing the Hyuuga heiress to blush and hide behind Kiba
"Since when do you control reptiles?" Shino asked with a little, but not much, concern in his voice.
"I found out this morning," Naruto lazily stated.
"Interesting." Shino shifted uncomfortably under the reptile's gaze.
"Shino, whatever you do, don't let your bugs out." Naruto whispered quietly to Shino, as the reptiles had their eyes fixed on him.
"I am quite aware of that, Naruto." Shino said with monotone.
Unfortunately for Shino, a spider had crawled onto his hand, which in turn had awakened the hungry swarm. All the reptiles, except for Scales, jumped from their lounging positions and onto Shino.
"Get off of me, you stupid reptiles!" Shino yelled as he was tackled to the ground by the swarm.
That's when the first examiner, Morino Ibiki, showed up.
"Quiet down, you brats!" Ibiki yelled.
Everyone quickly shut up.
"You! Get rid of all these lizards," Ibiki said, pointing to Naruto.
"Fine. Okay guys, you can go now, except for you, Scales, you stay." Naruto said while making shooing motions at the swarm.
"Okay then, I want you all to sit down and try to complete this test. If you caught cheating five times, you fail. If one of you does not get all the answers correct, your team fails. " Ibiki said with creepy smile.
Everyone in the room was thinking the same thing: Sadist.
"Now the first part of the test lasts for forty-five minutes and second lasts for fifteen minutes. Sit down and begin!" Ibiki shouted.
Naruto turned over his paper and glanced over the questions.
"I'm screwed."
'Yes it seems that way. Only a few people here can answer these questions.' G, with Sherlock Holmes hat on, lit his oak wood pipe.
'What's with the hat Naruto asked.
'It makes me look distinguished,' G said making a smoke ring.
'So any ideas on how I can cheat or should I just sleep it off? Naruto asked.
'Well you can use Scales to get answers, but you can sleep it off,' G said with a grin.
"Scales, why don't you go have some fun with the others." Naruto whispered with a wicked gleam in his eye.
Scales stealthily made his way across the room. Well, as stealthy as a Komodo dragon in a classroom can be. He stopped right under Shino. A millisecond later, a scream was heard throughout the entire building. Shino jumped up, causing his paper to fall to the ground. Scales quickly memorized it and returned to Naruto.
"Quiet boy!" Ibiki yelled at Shino.
"Good boy, Scales. Now tell me the answers." Naruto said while pulling out a dead rat hidden in his coat for Scales.
'You have to teach Scales how to be subtle,' G warned.
"Hey Shino, you might want to go to the nurse before you die of bacteria poisoning." Naruto whispered to Shino's insect on his desk.
Shino then got up and asked permission to go to the nurse. He wasn't seen until the end of the test.
After Naruto wrote down the answers, he quickly went to sleep.
Forty-five minutes later
Ibiki stood in front of the sleeping Naruto.
"Wake up, you sleeping idiot!" Ibiki yelled as he slammed his hand on the desk.
"Huh, what? Is it time for the tenth question already?" Naruto blinked sleepily.
"Yes, now wake up." Ibiki snarled as he moved back towards the front of the room.
"Well, get on with it." Naruto said tersely.
Ibiki turned and faced the test takers.
"Okay, if you fail to answer this right, you will remain genins forever. You can choose whether to answer this time or the next. For those of who don't want to answer now, raise your hand." Ibiki stated. Several students murmured and argued amongst the crowd.
"Well, I choose to stay!" Naruto shouted, lifting Scales onto his desk.
However, some people were not as confident as Naruto; a third of the genins left.
Ibiki looked around and said, "No one else wanting to quit? He let out a soft, grumbled snort. "Congratulations! You passed the first test." Ibiki said with a normal smile.
Stunned looks etched the leftover genins' faces. They were about the start cheering when suddenly a black ball of clothing burst through the window. Several students were knocked to the floor and covered in shattered glass. The ball straightened and became a person, a woman to be exact.
"I'm Mitrashi Anko, the second examiner. So be quiet and follow me!" She yelled.
"Man, she looks little crazy," Naruto muttered as he twirled his index finger by his head.
Outside
"Welcome to Training Ground Forty-Four or "The Forest of Death" as we jounin like to call it!" Anko shouted with a maniacal laugh at the end.
HERE IS THE END OF THIS LONG CHAPTER MY FRIENDS. I SPENT ABOUT THREE DAYS ON THIS CHAPTER. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THE CHAPTER IS WHERE I DESTROYED THAT FLUFF SCENE.
