Naruto: A Change In Time

Warning: Arganaut does not own any character in Naruto. Kishimoto owns it all. I wonder who has more money; and the results are in, Kishimoto may just have more money than Bill Gates!!!

HELLO FANS OF THIS FIC! Sorry for taking so long I had a lot of work to do in the real world, but also with my other fics. Now then, as you all know, Chunin Exams are starting in this chapter. I have been trying my best to come up with an effective Chunin Exam, taking context clues from the show, and this is what I came up with... squat. I'm going to do the best I can, so please, don't flame me if it's terrible...

Time to respond to the reviews;

T.O.B.- I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with Shizune and Dan... it is taking me some time to come up with. Well, no, though Jiraiya is less perverted, Tsunade will not be less of a gambler (as seen in earlier chapter, betting Jiraiya he couldn't master a jutsu...). Well as to how powerful they are, you'll see later.

Lightning Blob- Good ideas, good ideas indeed... I will consider it.

Leon Darksword- (Sigh) If only...

Dragon Man 180- My God, I can actually imagine that happening...

Silenius- True but there are also JirxTsu, and Arashi fans that would want to see these arcs. And trust me they will be worth it.

Well that's it for now, let us get onto the next chapter of Naruto: A Change In Time!!!!

WARNING: DUE TO ABSOLUTELY NO CHARACTER BEING ALIVE DURING JIRAIYA'S AND TSUNADE'S CHUNIN EXAMS, MANY OC'S (A ton of them unnamed, hell cross that, almost all of them will be unnamed) WILL BE PLACE FOR THE SAKE OF THE FIC! NO FLAMES OR ELSE I'LL FLAME YOU BACK TWICE AS HARD AND I CAN ALREADY FLAME REALLY HARD!!!

Chapter 4: The First Stage of The Exam

Jiraiya woke up once again in his 'dreamscape' as he know called it. He looked around and this time was no different than the last, the flowers were the same, the mountains, the trees, all of it peaceful... 'Wait!' Jiraiya thought in that instance. 'There is something different!' He thought as he took a closer look around. Indeed there was something different, the dreamscape... it was more beautiful than before. There were not only more flowers but a variety of them as well, there were more trees, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. How he didn't notice that a second earlier he didn't know, but he sure as hell noticed it now.

"HEY ERO-SENSEI!!!" Jiraiya heard as the wind picked up again. The petals on the flowers and on the trees flying behind him. Jiraiya sighed as he turned around, expecting to see the same punk kid he saw last night in his dreams. But the kid was different this time too. Instead of that grey sweatshirt and blue jeans he wore before, he now had on a ninja grade dark green mesh shirt, along with some black ninja grade pants, and black ninja grade sandals. And to top it all off he had on a Chunin jacket, and to top that off, a Leaf headband, metal plate and all, on his forehead. He looked older too, possibly fifteen, maybe sixteen?

"Hey Ero-sensei, check this out, I'm a Chunin now! And its thanks to you!" The little blonde punk shouted as Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"Well is that so, well then congrats kid, and you're welcome." Jiraiya said out loud, while on the inside his thoughts were;

'I don't even know this kid, who the hell is he?' Jiraiya thought as he noticed a figure standing several feet behind the blonde. As far as he could tell it was a girl, around the blondes age, any other details he couldn't really make out about her.

"Hey kid." Jiraiya said as the blonde looked up. "Who's that?" Jiraiya said pointing out towards the girl. The little blonde turned around and then blushed immensely has he ran behind Jiraiya. "Hey what the hell kid?!" Jiraiya shouted as the kid stayed behind him.

"Shhh!" The kid exclaimed while hiding. "You can't let her see me!" The kid said as Jiraiya smirked.

"Oh, do you happen to be attracted to that little lady over there?" Jiraiya said as the blonde blushed and immediately tried to get him to shut up, but at that moment he was not able to form complete sentences, making Jiraiya laugh. "Well what do you know, the loud mouth here's a little shy huh?" Jiraiya said making the blonde shut up and nod. "Well here, you'll never get to know here if you don't get within five feet of her!" Jiraiya shouted as he grabbed the blonde by the jacket, and threw him over to the girl. Jiraiya watched, chuckling to himself as figure he knew to be the blonde started rubbing the back of his head, while the girl just stood there, with her hands together in front of her.

"You just can't ever stop meddling can you?" Jiraiya heard come from behind him, as once again the wind picked up and blow petals behind him. He looked behind him to see what he wanted to see in the last dream... well almost. It was Tsunade, but only she was completely dressed, depressing, you bet, was she still one of the hottest women he'd ever seen, HELL YES! She currently wore a green jacket, with what appeared to be the kanji for gamble on the back of it, and under that a grey, no sleeved shirt... thing, that revealed a ton of cleavage. If Jiraiya had to guess, he would say that if she laughed hard enough her girls would be popping out for a visit. She wore greyish, green pants going all the way down to some black high heels she was wearing. She walked up to him in a normal way till she was right beside him.

"Well you know me Tsunde-hime..." Jiraiya said, while on the inside he was just confused.

"Yeah Jiraiya-kun I know." Tsunde said as she looked at him and winked. Jiraiya smiled as they looked at the two figures. "So, when do you think they're going to kiss?" Tsunde said as Jiraiya started laughing.

"Tsunde-hime, I'm sorry, but that blonde over there is as shy as a bird, there is no way in hell that he will, or ever will for that matter, get..." Jiraiya said as they watched the girl figure lean in to the blonde one, while Jiraiya just stood there with his mouth agape.

"You were saying?" Tsunade said in a playful manner while Jiraiya just shook his head.

"Nevermind..." Jiraiya muttered as he suddenly felt like... he was in danger...

In that moment Tsunde, the blonde, and the girl all disappeared in a whirlwind of petals, and the environment of his dream began to spin and change. When the spinning stopped Jiraiya looked around to find himself now in a dense forest, surrounded by trees. Jiraiya wondered what the hell was going on, but had his thoughts cut short by the sound of two large... well explosions was the only word to describe the sound. Jiraiya looked behind him to see two giant things behind him.

The first one on his right was a giant frog, it was a brownish red with a dagger on one side of him. It wore a blueish purple jacket, as well as several red markings all over its skin, and what appeared to look like red lipstick on its lips. It also had a giant pipe on the side unoccupied by the dagger. The other giant could only be described as one big-ass snake. It was purple, and had blackish stripes on its body, it also had what appeared to be horns on the back of its head.

Jiraiya looked on top of the frogs head, straining his eyes to see the figure on top of it, and was shocked at what he saw. Standing there, with standard Jonin gear on, was a version of himself that he could only guess was at least in his mid-twenties. Jiraiya, though shocked, did not stop himself from looking on the snakes head, he began straining his eyes hard to see the figure. But before he could figure out who it was the sound of his alarm clock blared into his ears.

Jiraiya's Room

Jiraiya shot up out of bed, he held onto his head as the ringing of the alarm clock kept on going. He looked at the machine that had gotten him up, and according to the hated clock it was noon. Jiraiya sighed as he turned off the clock and got up out of bed. After doing so much over the past few days, a nice long sleep was just the thing he needed. He stretched out the more stiff parts of his body and then went into the bathroom to get ready. As he brushed his teeth he couldn't help but think about this most recent dream.

'Okay... this one was a little more strange, it was basically like the first two, with a little bit of weirdness mixed in.' Jiraiya thought as he gargled some water and spat it out. 'But what was that at the end... and more importantly, who was that on top of that weird ass, giant snake?' Jiraiya thought as he splashed some water on his face. 'And why do I keep on having these dreams?' Jiraiya thought as he exited the bathroom and got into his closet. He came out wearing his usual clothing, and equipment. He went downstairs to find that his mother and father had left, his mother leaving a good breakfast out for him.

Jiraiya walked over and ate the entire breakfast that was laid out for him in about thirty minutes. He looked at the clock to see that it was 1:00 in the afternoon now. He decided that relaxing before the Chunin Exams may be a very good idea. So he sat around, thinking, planning, wandering what these Exams were going to be like. Were they dangerous, well that was kind of obvious, but were they going to be life threatening, well that was kinda of obvious too, but the real question Jiraiya thought he wanted to know was if he was going to die.

It was at 2:00 precisely that Jiraiya stood up and started walking out towards the door. He took one look back, possibly the last look he would have of his house. He sighed as he walked out the door and began walking to the Academy, it would only take him about a half-hour to reach the Academy at the rate he was going he should be fine. He finally made it to the Academy after exactly a half-hour of walking. He saw Orochimaru standing in front of the entrance, figures he would be the first one here, afterall he doesn't have much of a life.

They both stood there, in complete silence for once, not insulting each other, not even so much as talking to each other. It was Jiraiya who finally broke the silence though after five minutes. "So what jutsus did sensei teach you." Jiraiya said while Orochimaru just looked up for a moment.

"Hmmm." Orochimaru said as he shrugged. "None that were that great. There was Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, and Soft Physique Modification." Orochimaru said as Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

"And... what does that last one do?" Jiraiya asked as Orochimaru sighed, and began cracking his neck.

"It does something like this." Orochimaru said as suddenly his neck began stretching out of his body, and he stretched his head over to Jiraiya so they were face to face. "Get it?" Orochimaru said as Jiraiya, who was completely dumbstruck, only nodded his head as Orochimaru brought his head and neck back to their original place, and cracked his neck again. "Like I said, not that great." Orochimaru said while Jiraiya just stared at him.

"You got to be kidding me..." Jiraiya muttered under his breath as the memory of watching Orochimaru's head just stretch on over to him continued to creep him out. It was another five minutes before Tsunade showed up. The three looked at each other and nodded, and then walked up to the Chunin guarding the front entrance.

"Papers please." One of the Chunin asked as Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru all pulled out their papers and handed them to the stoic Chunin guards. The Chunin looked over the papers and nodded. "Alright then, head to room 301 and wait there until the Exams begin." The Chunin said as team Sarutobi nodded and entered. Though it had been a long time since either three had been in the Academy, they still remembered which way was the right way to go in the building. They reached room 301 and entered.

To say they were shocked would be an understatement, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru upon entering that room almost went into a state of shock from seeing all of the ninja in the room. There were very ninja from very few different villages. Jiraiya looked around the room, and tried to see if he could find any leaf shinobi. "Don't bother." Orochimaru said as Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at him. Orochimaru turned to face Jiraiya. "Don't bother trying to find any of our fellow Leaf-nin, according to sensei there aren't supposed to be any this year." Orochimaru said making Tsunade and Jiraiya raise their eyebrows.

'Did sensei teach him to read minds too?!' Jiraiya thought as he stared at Orochimaru.

"But why?" Tsunade asked suddenly. "Why wouldn't their be any Leaf-nin around?" Tsunade asked as Orochimaru shook his head.

"Due to the peace that has come over Konoha being a ninja just isn't that profitable of a job here anymore. "Same goes for all of the other villages, being a ninja just isn't profitable anymore, you can tell that just by looking at the number of ninja here. I mean, there's only 24 here, and that's no estimate, that's an exact amount. I mean, you could probably make more money in a ninja village now a days selling flowers than being a ninja.." Orochimaru said making Jiraiya sweat drop.

'You got that right...' Jiraiya thought as he remembered the huge cost of the flowers he bought for Tsunade. They were snapped out of their thoughts by the sound of the door opening, revealing a few Chunin and one Jonin out in front. The Jonin didn't look like anyone special, he just wore simple Jonin gear and... that was about it, nothing special about him.

"Alright, would all participants of the Chunin Exams please follow me for the written test." The Jonin said as the Chunin produced a stack of papers. Team Sarutobi just sweat dropped as they entered the room.

"A..." Orochimaru started off.

"Written..." Tsunade continued.

"Test..." Jiraiya finished as they walked in. "There has got to be more to this Exam than that... right?" Jiraiya said as they all took their individual seats.

"All right then participants listen up." The Jonin instructor said, getting the attention of all twenty-four participants. "You all will be taking a written test for the first part of the Chunin Exams. This test will have ten questions. You miss a question that's one point, yadda, yadda, yadda. Team's will have their scores totaled together, yadda, yadda, yadda. Only top 4 teams move on to next Stage of the Exam, yadda, yadda, yadda. No cheating, yadda, yadda, yadda. Test is over in an hour, yadda, yadda, yadda. Begin, yadda, yadda, yadda." The instructor said as Jiraiya sweat dropped.

'Okay, it is that simple...' Jiraiya thought as he turned to the questions.

A Half Hour Later

'Its not that simple...' Jiraiya thought as he looked at the test. He couldn't believe that he still hadn't answered a single question on the paper. Jiraiya began banging his head for ideas, for answers, when one just suddenly popped up. Cheat. It was that simple, just cheat Jiraiya you can do it. Afterall it is the only way he could pass cause he never really paid that much attention to Sarutobi's lectures. Jiraiya began whistling an innocent tune when he dropped his pencil.

"Oh, I'll get it." Jiraiya said as he bent down under the table. Jiraiya smirked as he went through some hand seals and created a clone to replace him. He snickered as the clone sat there and he began going through the hand seals for a very old, but very good jutsu of his. As he finished the last one he suddenly disappeared into thin air. He went over to in front of the instructor and waved an invisible hand in front of his face. When Jiraiya was satisfied that he could get away with this he next tried to decide who to cheat off of. That's when his eyes lead him to Orochimaru.

'Of course Or-uke-maru would have all the answers.' Jiraiya thought as he snuck up the stairs and got right beside Orochimaru. He memorized the answers off of Orochimaru's paper and then stifled a snicker as he snuck back to his desk. Jiraiya had the clone of him 'drop' his pencil again, and as the clone bent down, Jiraiya sat down with it, causing it to disappear. Then Jiraiya, with all the speed of a baby on crack, began writing in all of the answers. As he finished Jiraiya began entertaining himself by balancing a pencil on his nose.

As the test finished the Genin were told to come back in an hour when it would be graded and the results would be in. Team Sarutobi, as well as the other 7 teams, back into room 301, afterall what were they going to do for a whole hour? Team Sarutobi just sat there for a few minutes before Tsunade walked over to Jiraiya and sat next to him. "Hey." She said as she sat down.

"Hey." Jiraiya replied back, impatient for the results of the test.

They were silent for a few minutes before Tsunade looked around and then leaned close to Jiraiya's ear. "Nice trick by the way." Tsunade whispered as Jiraiya's face got into a shocked look as he looked at Tsunade who was sticking her tongue out at him. "Don't worry I won't tell, hell you probably saved our butts from failing." Tsunade said while Jiraiya sighed and then smiled.

"Thanks Tsunade-hime." Jiraiya said as she smiled back.

"No, thank you Jiraiya-kun." Tsunade said as she yawned and leaned on Jiraiya, causing him to turn read.

"Tsunade-hime!?" Jiraiya semi-screamed as Tsunade fluttered open her eyes.

"Oh sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night, I was nervous about the Exams... see how far that took me right." Tsunade said in a joking fashion while Jiraiya only nodded. "You don't mind if I rest here do you, Jiraiya-kun?" Tsunade asked as she subconsciously fluttered her eyes. Jiraiya shook his head no and Tsunade nodded and fell asleep on him. Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and mouthed "Help", to which Orochimaru cracked his neck, and then stretched it over to Jiraiya's ear.

"Your on your own." Orochimaru whispered as he retracted his head and then cracked his neck again. Jiraiya's face looked weirded out before he mouthed out "WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT, ITS FREAKING ME OUT" while Orochimaru just laughed and then went back to doing what they were doing in the first place... waiting for the God Damned instructor to give them the results. At exactly an hour later the instructor opened the door, waking up Tsunade, as well as other Genin that had fallen asleep.

"Alright, all of you come in here, the results are posted." The instructor said as all of the team filtered into the room. They saw a giant board with all of the eight teams, and whether they passed or failed posted on it. Team Sarutobi walked up to the board, after a few teams from Hidden Sand that didn't pass left. Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade stood in front of the board.

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade of team Sarutobi..." Orochimaru began reading as his eyebrows raised and Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other with a shocked look. "Passed..." Orochimaru said as Jiraiya and Tsunade glomped each other, and then began jumping up and down while screaming 'WE PASSED, WE PASSED'. When those two, however, realized how close they were they backed off from each other, and started mummbling some incoherent stuff while they blushed like crazy.

They all walked up to the instructor who just glanced at them and handed them some more papers. "Give these to your next examineer at the next Stage of the Exam at Training Ground 13, yadda, yadda, yadda. Noon tomorrow, yadda, yadda, yadda." The instructor said while Jiraiya just became annoyed.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP ON SAYING YADDA!?!?" Jiraiya shouted as the other two members of the team nodded.

"Oh you see, I have yadda turrets, yadda, yadda, yadda." The instructor said while they all face vaulted.

"Liar there's no such thing as..." Tsunade began as the intructor interuppted.

"Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda!!!" The instructor said as he motioned for them to leave, which after fifty more yaddas they did. After they left the intructor sighed. "Thank God, I thought they'd never leave." The instructor said as he pciked up a cigar and lit it.

Alright then, you all are probably wondering why there were so few participants or such a lazy intructor right. Well if Orochimaru didn't explain it well enough than I will. Due to the peace that has encompassed the areas for so long, there is practically no longer any need for ninjas (similar to how after gunpowder there was basically no longer any need for Samurai). So with the lack of high paying missions, the number of ninja dwindled, and the real concern for things like the Chunin Exams became non-existent (hence the yadda yadda yadda instructor).
