"Alright maggots, LISTEN UP!" shouted a dark figure in the doorway. A tall man with a long, black trench coat walked through the door. "My name is Ibiki Morino, and I'm the first proctor of the chuunin exams." he said. "Don't get caught cheating, or we're going to have some problems." he said. Suddenly, it dawned on Naruto what was happening.

"He said don't get caught cheating." he thought. "Very perceptive kit." the fox praised. Nodding to Yugito and Karui, the three began working on the test.

Naruto formed a clone, which instantly transformed into a fly. The clone flew over the hidden chuunin before flying out of the room and dispelling. As the answers rushed into the blonde genin's brain, he suddenly sensed evil intent.

Looking at the source, he found a guy with silver hair tied back in a ponytail, and glasses. Signaling Ibiki, he walked up to the proctor to hand in his test, when the man shook his head. "The exam will be collected later." he said before discreetly taking the top piece of paper.

"Don't trust the guy with the silver hair and glasses. He's emitting evil intent." the note said. Ibiki looked at Naruto, confused. Exasperated, Naruto motioned for him to flip the paper over. "I know this because I'm a sensor." the proctor got a look of realization on his face.

A few minutes later, Ibiki stood up. "Okay maggots, it's time for the tenth question. If you get it right, you pass. If you get it wrong, not only will you fail, but you will be barred from taking the chuunin exams ever again." he said.

With that, many teams got up and left the room, not wanting to risk being barred for life. Once all the quitters had left the room, Ibiki turned to the remainder of the participants. "Congratulations, you all pass." he said plainly. Naruto smirked.

Just then, a woman crashed through the window. As she landed, she unfurled a banner that said "The Super-Sexy Proctor of the Second Exam, Anko Mitarashi!" all the genin laughed. The woman had purple hair, done up in a pineapple-like style, and pale brown eyes.

"Okay! Follow me!" she yelled before running out the door. Many genin rushed after her, not wanting to be left behind. Naruto just grabbed Yugito and Karui's shoulders and shunshin'd away.

Ten minutes later, the genin and single jonin stood at the gates of a huge forest. "Alright maggots, welcome to the Forest of Death, or as I like to call it, my personal playground. Each team will be given a scroll. You will have five days to collect the other scroll from another team and make your way to the castle in the center. Oh, and don't open the scroll before you get to the castle."

With that, the teams scattered into the forest. Yugito turned to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, do you sense anything?" she asked. Naruto nodded. "Three teams within a reasonable distance. One, I sense an animal, so that's most likely the Konoha team with the Inuzuka. Two, I sense a strange genjutsu and three… let's not go that way." he said. "Alright, Konoha team it is then." Karui said.

The three Kumo ninja quickly caught up to the three Konoha genin. A boy with a grey, fur-lined hoodie stopped. "Crap, he smells us." Naruto whispered to his team. Jumping down, He faced down the Inuzuka boy, a girl with blue hair and strange lavender eyes, who cowered when she saw their headbands. "Hyuga." Naruto thought and a boy with a grey coat that covered most of his face.

The Inuzuka boy decided to rush them, and Naruto threw him back to his team. Since the three had been training in Lightning Style, they had formulated a strategy. "Lightning Style Armor!" Naruto yelled, and the electric aura enveloped his body. Yugito channeled her chakra into her kunai, Karui channeled into her sword. "Kumo Style: Frontal Shockwave!" Karui yelled as she released a wave of crackling lightning.

As the three jumped to dodge, Yugito threw her electrified kunai at them, and when they spun, Naruto rushed forward and hit the Inuzuka; jumped, kicked the boy in the coat, dove, and threw the Hyuga. The three Konoha genin crashed mid-air and fell to the ground. Checking their weapons pocket, Naruto found the scroll they needed. "Score!" he yelled. The Kumo ninja then started on their way to the castle.

Once at the castle, they opened the scroll, and Atsui appeared. "Easy there, hotshots." he said as he carefully stepped away from Yugito's kunai pointed at his back, Karui's sword placed at his throat, and Naruto's spear leveled at his stomach. "I have to applaud them for being so prepared." the blonde jonin thought.

Alright, a little shorter than normal, but I want to, once again, dedicate an entire chapter to the fights. Until next time,
