On with the story...
Just as always it was a beautiful, sunny, and an all around comfortable day in Konoha. Birds were chirping, caring for their young hatchlings.

The four Genin met at their usual spot, before heading for the building in which they would partake in the written part of the Chunin Exams. Knowing that shinobi of other nations were here made the four extra cautious of their surroundings. 'Kit you got this' Kurama said in his usual tone.
'I know but I can't help but feel weird about this situation' not paying attention he bumped into two teenagers from Sunagakure. A boy and a girl.
"Hey watch it asshole" the boy said to Naruto. Turning around the boy had face paint on in an array of crazy designs.
"Sorry I wasn't paying attention" Naruto apologized scratching the back of his head.
"What's your name cutie?" The girl with sandy blonde hair said directing her attention to the apologetic Naruto.
Ino got jealous quickly "his name is none of your business" she spat with venom lacing her usually angelic voice.
"Excuse me, I don't think I was talking to you, Bitch" the girl replied with just as much malice.
Naruto was about to speak up when he noticed a presence in the trees above. "Temari, Kankuro calm down or I'll kill both of you" said the red haired shinobi that was hanging upside down from a tree branch. Everyone turned their attention to the tree above. He shushined down to the ground disappearing and reappearing behind a cloak of sand; on the ground.
This boy wore a black short sleeved undershirt, with black pants and black sandals. The most peculiar thing was the gourd on his back.
"What are your names?" both Takaru and Sasuke demanded.
With a sadistic chuckle the red haired kid spoke the trio's names "I'm Sabaku no Gaara this is my brother Kankuro, and my sister Temari." he said with no hint of emotion measurable in his voice. "Now speak your names" Gaara said with the same monotone evil voice.
"I'm Namikaze Naruto, this is my girlfriend Yamanaka Ino, and those two are Uchiha Sasuke and Ihara Takaru" Naruto said pointing to each respective person.
"The son of the famous Yellow Flash of Konoha, eh? I look forward to killing you" Gaara said before disappearing in a torrent of sand along with his siblings.
'Kit he's a jinchuriki also, I can sense the Ichibi within him known as Shukaku' Kurama warned. Naruto nodded.

At the Exam building...
As the squad of Genin entered the room and ascended the stairs they noticed a crowd of shinobi. The four teens pushed their way to see the source of the commotion. Two Chunin blocked the door. The sign said room 301 but Naruto quickly pointed out what should have been obvious "we're on the second floor not the third, this is a genjutsu"
"Good job" the two Chunin replied after shooting one another a glance. "All of you may go ahead and enter" they said in unison. The enormous amount of Genin from the different villages entered a large room.
As Naruto and the others approached they were stopped by a guy with bushy eyebrows and a bowl cut, in green spandex with orange leg warmers, and bandages wrapped around his fists, and forearms. "Excuse me, but I challenge you to a sparring match!" the boy said with great enthusiasm directed at Naruto.
"Lee now is not the time for this" a girl with brunette hair done in two buns on either side of her head said.
'That's Tenten-chan' thought a nervous Takaru.
"Yeah Lee, you'll get your ass handed to you anyway" said a long haired pale lavender eyed boy.
"Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten I presume" said Naruto with a small smile. Neji nodded.
"Glad to see the Yondaime's kid knows who we are" Neji said coldly. Tenten nodded in agreement.
Rock Lee on the other hand was still going on about fighting Naruto. "I wish to test my speed against the mighty 'Hiraishin no Jutsu' if that's okay with you" he insisted.
"Lee, just calm down I would love to fight you...but let's get through the exam first. Plus I'm the third fastest in Konoha; my dad being the first, your sensei Maito Gai and Hatake Kakashi are tied, then me" Naruto explained.
'I'm just as fast if not faster than both of our sensei's, but he can't know that yet' Lee thought to himself. "Fine we'll do this your way Naruto-kun" Rock Lee agreed for the time being.

"Okay you little shits" Ibiki cursed. "Welcome to the first of a three part exam, the written test, so sit down. We will begin in five minutes" the scarred man said with authority.
"You guys listen don't be in a rush if the files I read are correct the only question that matters is the last one" Naruto whispered to his team mates. They all nodded in understanding.
"Times up, now then you will answer nine questions then a final question. You have 15 minutes to answer the questions" Ibiki explained. "Begin" he shouted.
Naruto glanced over to the Hyuuga heiress Hinata that sat beside him; he noticed she had her Byakugan activated. He shook his head focusing on the task at hand. The first question read, 'Name a Shinobi Law'.
Naruto grinned as he wrote his answer. 'A shinobi must always put the mission first' he wrote even though that was his least favorite law he remembered it because Minato didn't believe in the law and always talked about how it was not always true. It was dependent on the situation.

Eight questions later Ibiki shouted "time, put down your pencils"
Several groans escaped the room full of Genin. "Now then, if you feel you didn't pass you are free to leave but if you do your entire squad will be disqualified" several teams left the room. "This final question will also be the deciding factor in rather or not you pass and it is the most difficult, if you answer incorrectly you will remain a Genin for life, so leave now if you want and take the exam next year" Ibiki said casually. A few more ninja left not wanting to ruin their chances.
Naruto quickly caught on to what their badly scarred instructor was trying to do. 'There is no final question he just wants to punk us out' Naruto thought before blurting out.
"Even if that were to happen I will still eventually become Hokage no matter what I will surpass my father" Naruto shouted. "There is no final question, and as far as the other questions go they don't matter do they?" he shouted once more.
"So you caught on, just what I'd expect from the Yondaime's son!" Ibiki said with a genuine smile. "I see the Will of Fire burns intensely in you" he added. "Well I guess you all pass this part" Ibiki congratulated with a faint smile.
As the words left his lips the window shatters as a dark purple haired kunochi busts in. A sign waving in the back that read 'Mitarashi Anko'
She wore a tan trench coat over her fishnet undershirt. She had shin guards, and standard blue sandals.
"Well, well seems you've grown soft Ibiki, anyway I will be your proctor for the second part. Join me outside in an hour at Training Ground 44" she said with an evil grin.
Several of the Genin thanked Naruto for speaking up. Which he paid little attention to. Naruto forced his way through the crowd, wanting to get back to his girlfriend. Who decided to sit elsewhere. He finally found her "Ino is there a reason you sat somewhere different?" he asked with curiosity evident in his voice.
"No not really, I just figured we'd be able to concentrate better if we weren't beside each other" she stated.
"Oh well, never mind I thought you were upset about something, maybe" he said honestly. She smiled before kissing his cheek.
"You worry too much, ya know" she replied. Naruto knew she was right but how could he not worry about her? They were a couple after all.
The two of them met up with Takaru and Sasuke. "Man Naruto you pick up on stuff quick, what made you think Ibiki was just trying to psyche us out?" Takaru asked. Naruto simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Well we better get to that training field, before we're disqualified" Sasuke said coldly.
Naruto then told them to hold hands and hang on as he prepared to teleport. Naruto had taken the liberty of marking the assigned training ground with one of his many three pronged kunai. In a blink of an eye they were there. Naruto immediately collapsed onto a single knee, "Naruto-kun are you alright!?" Ino exclaimed with concern. He was sweaty and slightly out of breath. "Y-Yeah, I'm not used...to teleporting...so many people" he said taking deep breaths in between some words.
"Baka be more careful" Sasuke said to his friend. Ino and Sasuke then helped him to his feet.

Slowly but surely more of the Genin showed up. Until finally Anko herself was in attendance. "Listen here you maggots, this is the second part of the Chunin Exams, and it's a survival test. You will receive a scroll for your team either a Doton/Earth or Heaven scroll. You will then compete to get the one you didn't receive; you may not survive this part. Death is possible. And finally you will only open the scrolls when you get to that tower over there. Got it" she said pointing to the tower that was hardly visible.
One by one the teams got there scroll. Team Seven received a Heaven scroll. Naruto sealed that scroll inside a smaller scroll before placing it in his tactical pouch on his hip. As a precaution Naruto tagged everyone with a seal so he could teleport to their location if separated. Anko then yelled "you have 24 hours to complete this test, begin!"...
Author's Note: This chapter was a bit shorter than what I usually write so bare with me. It was a transitional chapter. I will try to make chapter 8 my most action packed. So for now Sayonara!
