I own nothing. Wow I am pathetic.

Chapter 8: Exams 1 and 2

"All right you maggots," the proctor said, "My name is Ibiki Moroni and I'm the proctor for the first exam."

The genin in the exam all sat in their assigned seats. They were listening with rapt attention to see how the first part of the exam would go.

"Now," the proctor said, "The first part, for those of you who haven't guessed, is a written exam. You have an fifty minutes to answer the questions. At the last 10 minutes you will be given a final question that will decide whether or not you will pass. If one member of your team is out then the whole team is out. Do you understand?"

The genin all nodded.

"Good," Ibiki said, "Now let's begin the test."

Meanwhile…

"So what inspired the new look Kakashi?" Kurenai asked as she looked at the old scarecrow.

The group was currently in the jonin lounge waiting for the first part of the exam to be over.

"I went through some changes," Kakashi said, "Plus it got rid of the Sharingan Eye.""So I noticed," Kurenai said as she noticed he had two normal eyes.

"Whatever the reason," Anko said, "It makes you look good."In response Kakashi just winked at her making the purple haired woman giggle.

"Hey guys!" Asuma yelled, "Naruto's in the bingo book!"

"He is *cough*?" asked Hayate.

"Yeah listen to this," he said opening the book to the page."Naruto Uzumaki…Namikaze! (insert group gasp save Kakashi) aka The Black Star. Abilities include incredible strength and stamina. Is able to shift his arms into powerful weapons: Claws, Swords, a whip like fist, two massive fist and two regular, but strong ones. Is able to consume enemies, so avoid physical contact. Other abilities include shooting lightning from his hands without hand signs, and apparent telekinesis. Weilds two weapons similar to the raijin only able to cut through anything from humans to hardest metal. Also fight alongside a wolf sized red fox that transforms into a vicious monstrosity. Warning: Enhanced regeneration abilities seen. Able to recover from fatal wounds."Everyone was staring shocked at the information they had just received. There was a pregnant silence among them until Kakashi broke it.

"Looks like someone from the raid survived," Kakashi said,

"Raid?" Anko asked.

"It was our last mission," Kakashi said, "We had to perform a raid on base. Naruto's skill came in handy there as well as some new abilities I have.""What other abilities are those my friend?" Gai asked in a normal voice.

"Oh I don't want spoil any future surprises," Kakashi said cryptically.

Asuma tried to turn to the page to find out what Kakashi's abilities were when Kakashi snatched the book from him. The silver haired jonin then s whipped out a match and lit the book on fire before dropping the book on the floor and stamping out the flames.

Back in the exam room…

The test was going well at least for a few people. A lot of the genin weren't able to understand the questions. Even worse was when one of then got caught cheating the whole team was disqualified. One by one teams were sent out of the room for being caught.

The Konoha 12 and the ninja from Suna weren't among them.

Sasuke was using his Sharingan to copy the pencil movements of a guy who was sitting in front of him. It was surprising effective.

Sakura didn't really need to cheat since she pretty much had this stuff memorized from the beginning.

Naruto was using the force to gently pry for answers. He figured it was better then consuming the person next to him. Somebody was bound to notice that someone had gone missing, or that they were absorbed into the guy next to him.

Ino switched minds with Sakura and memorized her answers before writing them down.

Shikimaru using his shadow possession technique to control Chouji as he wrote down the answers. The result was Chouji writing down Shikimaru's answers.

Hinata used her Byakugan to scan sheets for answers on the person behind her.

Kiba had Akamaru on his head during the test. Akamaru read the answers of the person who was sitting in front of Kiba and then relayed the information to Kiba through whispered barks.

Shino used a fly to scan the sheets around him and then show him the answers.

Neji was doing the same thing that Hinata was doing. He was using his Byakugan to get the answers from other people.

Ten-Ten was manipulating a system of mirrors on the ceiling using almost nearly invisible wires. She was sending a reflection of another person's answers to Lee who adjusted his head band to show he could see the answers.

Gaara used his sand to form a third eye. He then used a small amount of sand to make some guy close his eyes so he couldn't see. Then the third eye showed Gaara the answers and he copied them down.

Temair had known the stuff from the beginning so she was one of the few who didn't have to cheat.

Kankouro had a puppet take the test for him and scan for answers. The puppet then excused itself to the bathroom because the real Kankouro had to use the John. While in the can the puppet relayed the answers to him. When the real Kankouro returned he wrote down the real answers.

After a while Ibiki spoke up.

"All right kids," the man said with his usual scowl, "It's time for the final question."Everyone stood at attention and listened to what the scarred man had to say.

"Now," Ibiki explained, "the final question, as I said earlier decides on whether or not you can continue to the next exam. If you answer it right you continue on. However if you get it wrong you are banned from taking the exams in this village again."

Everyone paled at the thought of that. Well almost all of them did.

"Oh please," Naruto said, "I highly doubt that."Ibiki raised an eyebrow and said, "You look calm. Are you sure you can take this?""Are you coming on to me proctor-san?" Naruto said with a smirk.

Ibiki's eyes widened and then narrowed in frustration at the blonde who was smirking back at him.

In the jonin lounge everyone was snickering at what Naruto had said.

"Oh man," Asuma laughed, "That kid has a lot of guts if he talks to Ibiki like that.""Only Naruto can do something like this," Kakashi chuckled

Back in the exam room…

Ibiki was currently locked in a glaring contest with Naruto. The two had done this since Naruto had made the comment that questioned Ibiki's sexual preference.

"All right then," Ibiki said taking ending the glaring contest, "those of you who want to take the last question stay. Those of you who don't…you and your team can get out now. "

A few of the people in the room rose their hands. They and their team left. Sakura was about to raise her hand herself. Though she was tougher the this Ibiki really did scare.

Naruto noticed this and made an discreet motion with his hand causing Sakura to change her mind.

"All right then," Ibiki said as the last of the drop outs shuffled out, "To those of you who are still in here…you pass."everyone blink once…twice…thrice…

"Uh you care to run that by us again?" a random guy who isn't really worth naming asked.

"The point behind the whole exam was to see how well you were able to gather information under pressure," Ibiki explained, "In other words to see if you could cheat and not get caught.""Wait," Temari said, "What about to tenth question.""There was no tenth question," Ibiki said with a smirk, "The last part was to see if you would crack or not?""Pressures of torture," Naruto said with a smirk from his desk.

"Bingo," Ibiki said as reaching for his headband.

When Ibiki removed it everyone in the room blanched as they saw the incredible amount of puncture wounds and scars that covered his head.

"Oh so that's why they call him scar face," Naruto muttered out loud.

"No matter how great the pain," Ibiki said, "No matter how much you suffer…never give up your villages secrets. Just take the beating and hold strong. Now those of you who have passed can-"

The scarred man was interrupted when a black thing crashed through the wall. The thing then opened up to reveal it was a banner. On the banner was written, "Behold the Second exam proctor: The unbelievably sexy and single Anko Mitarashi!"

There was a cloud of smoke that, when faded, revealed a woman. She had purple hair that was done up in a pineapple shaped pony tail. She wore a mesh shirt that had a brown trench coat over it, a short orange skirt, and a pair of shin guards. The guys, save Naruto since he has a girlfriend who would turn him into a pincushion if he cheated, stared and started to drool at the sight of this woman. The girl looked either jealous or disgusted. Jealous due to the fact that they weren't getting stares from the cute guys in the room. Disgust because the woman was dressed so provocatively.

"You're early Anko," Ibiki drawled as he shook his head at the woman's antics.

"No I'm not," Anko said with a smirk, "You just took so damn long."She looked around the room and saw the amount of people that were left.

"There are so many left Ibiki," Anko said, "You're staring to lose your touch a bit aren't you?""We have a special group of contestants this year," Ibiki said.

"Well," Anko said smirking at the students, "the amount here will be cut in half by the time I'm done with these little squirts."

Anko then said, "Now then follow me to the next part of the exam maggots."With that everyone filed out after the purple haired psycho.

A little while later..

After following Anko everyone found themselves at a training area. The area was basically a forest that looked more like it could pass off as a jungle any time. It was surrounded by an electric fence with barbed wire. On the fence there was a signs that said, "Keep Out!" or "Don't come in here!" and a weird one that said, "If you are suicidal enter this forest. If you are sane…GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

"Call it a sixth sense," Naruto said, "but I don't think we're supposed to go in there."

"What was your first clue?" Sakura said to the blonde.

"All right kiddies," Anko said, "This is training ground 44 or as we like to call it the forest of death.""Sounds like fun," Naruto said making everyone look at him like he was nuts.

"Kid," Anko said, "This place is filled with monsters and creatures that would make you wet yourself and make you cry for you mommy.""First of all," Naruto said, "I'm too tough to go crying to my mommy. Besides I'm not afraid of some oversized herb garden."

Anko smirked before throwing a kunai and vanishing. Naruto tilted his head to side avoiding the kunai. However Anko appeared behind him and got him in a headlock. She slid the kunai blade over his cheek cutting it slightly. She then licked the blood off the blade.

'Oooh,' Anko thought, 'Tangy….this kid has some pretty nice blood.'

"You sure about that?" Anko whispered into his ear, "Tough guys like you are usually the first to spill their blood all over the floor.""And people who underestimate me usually end up with their blood splattered all over place," Naruto said with a bloodthirsty smirk that made Anko shiver in delight.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt something wrap around her waist and then lift her off the ground. Anko looked down to see a large red fox lifting her with her in the air with her tail.

"Good girl Hitomi-chan," Naruto said petting the fox.

"Uh…hello?" Anko called, "I'm still up here."

Hitomi then promptly let Anko drop. The jonin caught herself an dusted off her coat and mesh shirt.

"Now what was I saying?" Anko asked herself, "Oh yeah. Now each time go to the tent. Once there you'll receive either a heaven or earth scroll. The goal of this exam is to find a the opposite scroll to the one you receive. Once you do you must report to the tower in the middle of the forest. You have a total of five days to do this. Understood?"

Everyone nodded.

"Oh and I have one more word of advice," Anko said, "Just don't die."

After that last word of advice everyone headed for the tent. After a while every team had the scroll. At that time Naruto noticed that they couldn't see inside of the tent.

'So we don't know what scroll the other team has,' he thought, 'This just got tougher. I could use my force powers to see what scroll they have, but I sense a disturbance. There are people here who are stronger than they let on. They may sense my probing and I don't want to reveal my powers to some blabbermouth just yet.'

As Naruto thought he was unaware of a pair of eyes watching him.

'The Black Star,' the figure thought, 'Doesn't look like much. I guess I'll have to test him to see if he is as strong as his page says he is.'

Upon receiving their heaven scroll Naruto and his team headed to the gate that they had been assigned. Everyone else did the same thing.

After a few minutes Anko's voice rang out.

"All right you maggots," she said, "The second part of the Chuunin exams have begun!"

With that the gates opened and teams there were at them raced into the forest.

After running for a few minutes team 7 plus Hitomi stopped in a clearing.

"Okay," Naruto said, "does anyone here have a plan on what to do.""I say we find a team and take the scroll we need," Sasuke said.

"Any plans that aren't completely stupid?" Naruto asked getting a giggle from Sakura.

"I can't think of anything right now," Sakura said after thinking for a few minutes.

"Well," Naruto said, "I got to go return to nature. Be right back."

Naruto walked away from the group. As he did he sent out a wave of force energy that allowed him to sense any unwanted guests. He already sensed at leased 3. The blonde sighed in relief as he relieved himself.

The blonde then mentally commanded, 'Hitomi we have a pair of unwanted guests. Be a dear and take care of them would you?'

'Yes master,' the fox mentally said.

Naruto finished up and then turned to the one who was spying on him.

"You know it's messed up to sneak up on someone when they're taking a leak," Naruto said crossing his arms.

A few seconds later a voice came out that sounded raspy.

"Not bad," the voice said, "I'd expect no less from The Black Star of Konoha."

"The Black Star?" Naruto asked as he used the force to search for this guy.

"You don't know?" the voice asked, "You're in the bingo book for taking down a load of mercenaries using your own bizarre powers along side a monstrous fox.""Well then," Naruto said as he finally got a feel on the guys position, "I guess I should show you how I earned that title."Naruto reached out with the force and grabbed him. There was a gagging noise and Naruto pulled with the force pulling the figure out of his hiding place. The boy was wearing a yellow jumpsuit, a rain headband and had a head of spiky brown hair.

"Bye," Naruto said as he Force pushed the genin through the trees.

As the rain genin rose up his eyes widened. Sakura and Sasuke stood above him as well as Hitomi who was in her monster form. Behind them was a violently crushed body and what looked like a large pile of acidic bile on the ground.

Flashback a few minutes ago…

After Hitomi received her orders and transformed shocking Sasuke and Sakura at the fact that she just transformed for no reason. The fox then turned to a tree that seemed to have a human scent. The fox growled before roaring loudly. The roar sent out sonic waves that cracked the ground beneath her and made Sasuke and Sakura cover their ears.

After a second of roaring two rain nin appeared clutching bleeding ears. Both wore yellow jumpsuits. One had a white cloth covering his ears while the other had a white clothe covering his eyes.

The two were so stunned at what had happened that they didn't notice Hitomi charging. It was too late when Hitomi used her head as a battering ram and smashed one of the rain nin into a tree crushing him like an insect. She then turned on her heel quickly and shot out a blast of red slime from her mouth that enveloped the other rain nin. Soon only a pool of foul smelling red liquid remained.

Right after that a third rain nin was thrown through the trees.

Flashback end…

The rain nin got on his back and tried to crawl away, but stopped when he bumped into Naruto. He looked up with fear in his eyes. Naruto then brought up his foot and brought it down. Sakura and Sasuke both blanched and covered their eyes at the sight of the slaughter.

"Sorry you had to see that," Naruto said to the two, "Did you check to see if they had the scroll we need?"

Sakura slowly made her way over to the crushed body of the Rain ninja and examined the ruined body. She pulled out an Earth scroll.

"Well that was easy," the pinkette said, "Now we just have to head for the tower.""Now we just have to find the tower," Naruto said, "Now how are we supposed to do that?"

Sakura responded by pointing behind him. Naruto turned around to see a huge neon sign with a large arrow that said, "The tower is this way stupid."

Silence…

"How did we miss that?" Naruto asked out loud.

Sasuke just shrugged. Team 7 plus Hitomi then followed the arrow and ran for the tower.

Meanwhile outside the forest…

Anko was sitting on a branch eating some Dango when a pair of Chuunin approached her.

"Anko," one of the Chuunin said, "we found something that may interest you.""Make it quick," the purple haired jonin said, "I'm in the middle of my lunch."

The two Chuunin led the woman to sight where she saw something that made her blood run cold. It was a trio of grass ninja who apparently had their faces melted off. They were surrounded by a bunch of other chuunin and a few ANBU..

'No mistaking it,' Anko thought, 'It's his jutsu.'

"Okay," Anko said, "He hasn't been here in forever so as long as he doesn't know where the tower is we're fine…right?""Uh actually," one of the Chuunin from earlier said, "We forgot to…take down the…giant neon sign.""Who's idea was it to give you that job?" Anko asked the man glaring at her.

"I did," said one other Chuunin, "He's my cousin."

"Who is this guy?" Anko asked an ANBU wearing a wolf mask.

"He's an Idiot," the wolf masked ANBU answered her.

"I know he is," Anko said, "What's his name?""That is his name," the ANBU said, "Takada Idiot."

"And the other Chuunin?" Ankko asked.

"He's an Idiot also," the Chuunin answered, "John Idiot ma'am."

Anko blinked a few times before asking, "How many Idiots do we have here?""YO!" yelled a good portion of the people around her.

"I knew it," Anko said shaking her head in disbelief, "I'm surrounded by Idiots! Stay here Idiots. I have a little snake hunting to do."

With that the special jonin vanished in a puff of smoke.

Back in the forest of death…

Team 7 was making good progress towards the tower. Hitomi had reverted to her normal self and was running along the forest floor. Her incredible hearing and the fact that she knew her master's and his teammate's respective scents allowed her to follow them with ease.

Suddenly Naruto stopped.

"Naruto what is it?" Sakura asked as she saw her teammate stop running.

"We are not alone," Naruto said cryptically as he searched around.

Suddenly out of nowhere there was a huge surge of wind. Sakura and Sasuke managed to get out of the way in time since they sensed the sudden flux of chakra. However Naruto wasn't so lucky as he was knocked out of the way and through the trees.

"Kukukukuku," a voice laughed.

Sakura and Sasuke turned to see a grass Kunoichi staring at them with a smirk.

"Now that he is out of the way," the girl said, "we can get down to business."

Meanwhile…

The image changes to show a large tree that now has a massive crater in it's side. Said crater starts to move until there was a huge blast of wood and smoke. The smoke clears to reveal an human like creature that was completely black. It's skin looked hard and rigid. It's face had no features except for what looked like an eye on the left side of it's face.

The creature's body was then covered in tendrils. As the tendrils faded it revealed Naruto. The blonde groaned in pain and cracked his neck.

"Man that stung," Naruto said shaking the cobwebs from his brain, "That armored form sure is tough."

As Naruto was shaking the cobwebs from his head he sensed a new presence behind him. He spun around to see a massive gray snake staring at him like he was a meal. Naruto's eyes narrowed at the large monster.

The snake then shot it's head forward with it's jaws wide open. The blonde jumped up to avoid the reptile's jaws. Naruto then shot a blast of force lightning from his hands frying the snake. The blonde then jumped on it's tail and whipped out one of his light swords. The blonde then stabbed the glowing blade into the snake's back and run up until it cut through the head.

The blonde then jumped up and called out, "Twin Lighting Blades!"

Naruto focused his force lightning into his swords and swung. The result was the blades of his swords extending to incredible lengths and now glowing white like his force lightning attack.

Naruto swung them both and the blades cut through the snake like a knife through butter. The snake's now split halves fell to the ground.

"I hate nature," Naruto muttered as he landed on the ground.

Naruto then reached out with the force and found his teammates in the middle of a fight with some grass Kunoichi. Naruto then noticed that this girl was much stronger then she should be.

"This demands exploration," Naruto said with a smirk before making a dash toward his teammates.

With said teammates….

"AAAAAH!"

The scream came from Sasuke who was now clutching his shoulder. On said shoulder the Kunoichi with her teeth sinking into the spot. Slowly three commas in the form of a circle appeared on his neck.

"What did you do to him?" Sakura asked as she ran to her teammate's side.

"I gave him a little gift," the Kunoichi said, "Now he will seek me out for power."

"Hey ugly!" a voice yelled.

The Kunoichi turned just in time to take a blast from some invisible force right to the face. The woman was sent flying through the trees and into a large oak. She rose up to reveal a part of her face had been torn off revealing white skin, and a yellow eye where her regular skin and eye had been.

She saw Naruto standing on a branch with a serious look on his face.

"I see my little friend didn't kill you," the unknown assailant said as she/he rose from the crater.

"I had a feeling that wasn't just a random snake attack," Naruto said.

"Good," the fake grass nin said, "I was hoping you would be worth the trouble. Now let's see if the Black Star is as strong as the Bingo Book says. First, though, I need a change of wardrobe."

The fake grass nin then reached for her face and pulled the skin off revealing a deathly white face.

"Okay snake boy," Naruto said as he pulled out his light swords and activated them, "Let's dance!"

End! I know you probably hate me for ending it there. So Black Star and the Snake sannin are about to clash. Who will win? What will happen? When will I post my next chapter? Why am I asking yout these questions? I mean I don't even know. Oh and before I forget from my last chapter from Wrath of the Gods I don't own the Hell raiser series. Also I don't own space balls from the scene with Anko the Chuunin and the ANBU. Well bye.
