Note: I do note own Naruto or any of these characters.

I can't believe it. We haven't been here for more then five minutes and Naruto has already made a fool of himself. I was trying to shut him up when three Sound Ninjas attack the guy with glasses, Kabuto-san. He had dodged the attack with ease, but when he thought he was in the clear his glasses shattered. We all gasped. The Sound ninja must have grazed his noise or something. He started to shake and threw up. We all looked over to the group of Sound Ninjas. Everyone was watching even…Gaara.

The room rapidly filled with smoke. "Quiet down you worthless bastards!" A man with a scarred face and a group of Ninjas appeared. "Thanks for waiting... I am Morino Ibiki, the examiner for the Chunin selection exam's first test." Swiftly he pointed a finger into the crowd. "Hidden Sound guys, stop doing as you please before the exam. Do you want to fail already?" One of them apologized and said he got a bit carried away. "Here's a good opportunity to say this... There will be no fighting without the permission of the examiner. Even if permission is granted, killing your opponent will not be tolerated." He glared at us. "Those pigs that disobey me will be failed immediately. Do I make myself clear?" We all nodded.

"We will now start the first test in the Chunin exam. Instead of your current seating arrangements you will pick one of these tabs and sit in the seat assigned to you. We will then hand out the exams." He held up a tab for example.

We all took one and started finding our seats. My seat was towards the middle. I could see Naruto a couple of rows in front of me and Sasuke-kun was one back from me. At least I can keep an eye on them. I saw someone sit next to me and glance over to see who it was. I quickly looked away. It was Gaara…

"There are many important rules to this first test. I'll write it on the board while I explain, but questions will not be allowed, so listen carefully."

I looked at him. 'Rules and no questions,' I thought to myself. I listen intently to the rules. The grading system didn't make any sense and why should we be penalized for our teammate's stupid mistakes and worst of all if Naruto fails, which he will, we, his teammates, will fail to! This is totally unfair! I glared holes into Naruto's back hoping he would get the hint.

"The exam will last one hour. BEGIN!"

I looked over at Naruto and wonder if he was doing alright. I shook my head; I can't worry about Naruto. I have to get points here! I started answering the questions and soon notice that these questions were really hard, even for me. There was no way Naruto was going to get this. I looked in the corner of my eye and saw that Gaara had two fingers on his eye and was clenching his other hand weirdly. Wonder what he's doing?

We all jumped when a kunai flew out of nowhere and hits a guys test. "You messed up five times. You fail," one of the Ninjas on watch told the kid. He made the kid and his teammates leave.

'Ok done,' I thought to myself. I decided to lay my head down for a quick nap. More and more people were starting to fail and time was starting to run out. I notice that Gaara was about the only person not freaking out around me.

"Ok, and now... we will began the 10th question." We all look up at the examiner. "Now... before we get to it... I'd like to go over the added rules for this question. First, for this 10th question you must decide whether you will take it or not. If you choose not to, your points will be reduced to zero... you fail along with your teammates." We all gasped. What idiot would not take the 10th question? "And now the other rule. If you choose to take it... and answer incorrectly... that person will lose the right to the Chunin selection exam, again" Every huff. This is even stupider. "If you don't want to take the question, then leave."

I look at Naruto and sighed. He had a dream to be Hokage and if he couldn't take this exam again then it will never come true. I was about to raise my hand when Gaara grabbed it. "Wha-?" Gaara ssshed me and pointed over at Naruto, who was raising his hand instead. "Don't underestimate me! And I will not run." I smiled. That's my Naruto. "I'll take it! Even if I'm a Genin forever...! I'll will myself to becoming Hokage anyway, so I don't care! I am not afraid!" I smiled. That was Naruto for you.

Ibiki looked around the room and smirked. "I congratulate you on passing the first test!"

There was then a crash and look all look over to see what had just come through the wall. "You guys! This is no time to be celebrating! I am the examiner for the second test! Mitarashi Anko! Now let's go! Follow me!" This girl was true Naruto-ish. She took a quick glance around the room. "78? Ibiki! You left 26 teams?" She smiled evilly at us. "Oh well. I'll cut you at least in half."

~Next Day~

I looked up at the creepy caged in forest. The trees were tall and there was over grown plants beyond the eye can see. I could feel the horrible sickening aura that was coming off it. I nervously glanced around. Obviously I wasn't the only person who felt this way. Even Sasuke-kun had an unease look on his face.

"You'll soon find out why it's called the 'Forest of Death'," the examiner smirked. Naruto pointed at her and started yelling at her, saying how he wasn't scared and how he was going to be Hokage one day. Anko threw a kunai at him and cut his cheek. "Kids like you are quickly killed... hehehe..." She then liked the blood from his wound. I stared with wide eyes this examiner was bad.

"Ok! I will now explain the second test simply put you will attempt the ultimate survival. First I'll explain the area in which it will take place. Around practice arena No.44 are 44 locked gates: forest, river, and a tower in the center. From the gates to the tower is about 10 km. During the survival in here, you will be asked to complete a certain task. Using you're many weapons and jutsu, you will compete in a no rules scroll battle. You will fight over these two scrolls the 'heaven' and 'earth'. You will have 120 hour; That's five hours. Now go!"
