Chapter 6: Chuunin Exams

TIMESKIP

Naruto sighed as he stared at all the paperwork on the desk in front of him. The academy graduates needed to be sorted into teams, and he knew he was going to have to send one of the teams to the chuunin exams. Frankly, he was extremely proud that his son had graduated early, and Kimimaro was too good to be a genin, so Naruto had promoted him to chuunin last month. Naruto had also managed to contact Tsunade and brought her to fix up Kimimaro for the disease he had. It turned out to be a really rare bacteria that only grew in the most extreme environments, Naruto guessed Kimimaro had gotten it as a child when he was locked up.

Tsunade had managed to heal him and in return she gained free access in and out of the village. He also paid her a few million yen, knowing that it would make her quite happy.

Naruto sighed again as he looked over the teams one last time, yup, they would work. He handed the papers to Kimimaro who then took them to the Academy for the multiple teams.

Relations with Konoha had strengthened to a considerable amount, but only the top ninjas in their village knew about Tokigakure. And Naruto planned to keep it that way. He then got a few other chuunin to deliver notices to the jounin who wanted to teach, which team they would be teaching. Naruto smiled, remembering how Hina-chan had come into his office, demanding that she be able to teach her son and his team. He had complied, but they still had to pass the usual test.

TIMESKIP

It had already only been a few months since the teams had been decided. He had almost laughed when he heard about Zabuza's team. He made them play tag. He told them that if they could catch him, they would pass. During the test, he then taunted them and turned them against each other, needless to say, they all failed. Hinata did a similar thing, but with more of a hide-and-seek twist to it. She got a five minute head start into the village, then the rest of the team had to find her. Arashi had used Byakugan to find her, Gaara distracted her with his sand, and Haku managed to land a senbon in her right arm before noon. They were the only team who passed.

Since then, They had gone on several D and C rank missions and had completed 1 B rank mission since they were the only team available at the time. Lucky them. He had pretty much forced them through as much training as he could for the trip to Konoha for the Chuunin Exams, which were next week. Speaking of which, he had to get ready. He grabbed some white robes and a dark purple Kage hat he had made for this little trip with the symbol for "Time" on it. He walked down the street towards his house and saw his beautiful Hina-chan throw on a jacket and bring Gaara and Arashi out. Kimimaro also came out with them, being the unofficial "big brother" of the two. Naruto smiled at Kimimaro and pulled out a plain white porclein mask from his pack. It was completely blank except for two red dots on the forehead of it. He handed the mask to Kimimaro who only nodded. He felt that Kimimaro deserved it, the only reason he lost to Gaara after all was because he was sick, and the sickness had been cured by Tsunade, so he deserved it.

"You guys all ready?"

"Hai!" They all replied. Naruto nodded and the five of them went to Zabuza's place to pick up Haku. Finally Zabuza and Haku came out, and Zabuza moved to his place on the opposite side of Naruto from Kimimaro, who was in-between Naruto and Hinata. Haku walked next to the other two boys, none of them speaking much. The last place they had to stop was at a special store for civilians. Yup, the glasses place. Naruto picked up a few pairs of contacts for Hinata and Arashi to wear so the Hyuugas wouldn't attack them on site. Besides, genjutsu would have been to obvious and tiring in Arashi's case.

The next day went by really fast, which is why we now find ourselves with Naruto arguing with the man at the gate to Konoha about whether or not they are allowed in.

"Look Sir, I can't let you past without permission since you are a ninja"

"And I'm telling you that we have permission! We're here for the chuunin exams!"

"How can I be su-"

"Izumo, they have permission. They are from a rather small village that isn't very well known."

A man in a black cloak covered in scars walked over when he spoke. Three guesses who.

"They will come with me to the Hokage if you have that much doubt"

"Uh, no sir!"

"Good. Please follow me" Naruto had packed his Kage robes in his pack for the trip in and around the city, so they had no idea who he was. Just that he was the representative of Toki. Only the Hokage and Kakashi knew he was their leader. Naruto turned to the students,

"You guys can wander around and explore. Here are your passes, we'll find you when we find a hotel"

"Hai!"

Naruto turned around and vanished. His wife and guards following.

ARASHI'S POV

Arashi watched his parents walk away before turning to his bro and friend.

"So, what now?"

Gaara just shrugged, damn. He hardly ever talked. So he looked at Haku, who would just want to do whatever he wanted to do.

"What do you want to do Arashi-kun?"

He knew them too well. He shrugged, something he had picked up from his bro, and started walking towards the park with his hand behind his head and his pale, pupiless, blue eyes looking around at the scenery. But you couldn't see his eyes because of the contacts. They made his eyes look completely blue and normal. As he walked down a path, Gaara and Haku both followed him. Haku was a little clingy, from his point of view, and was polite and all, but really quite. Gaara was a "yes" "no" "shut up or I'll kill you" type of person.

At least he didn't threaten him. Though his threats were usually void anyway, he was still creepy when he wanted to be. Arashi suddenly heard a some sounds from the other side of the fence. He ran over and peeked through a little hole in the wood. While he couldn't see what was going on very well, he knew it was a fight. Jumping over the fence, he found himself staring at some black jumpsuit wearing freak with purple make-up, a dirty blond girl with her hair in four ponytails, and a kid with a blue scarf around his neck and brown hair. The freak with purple make up looked like he was strangling the kid with brown hair.

Arashi, hearing a sound behind him, spun around and saw that Haku and Gaara were both standing on the fence. Well, Gaara was showing off like usual and standing up. Haku was kneeling and sitting on her heels. They both watched the scene with interest. Arashi also saw A pink haired girl with green eyes, a light brown haired girl wearing pink, and a sick looking nerdy type of kid. What caught him by surprise though, was the blond that was with them.

In an orange jumpsuit. Arashi twitched, he just couldn't picture his Tou-san wearing something that ridiculous looking, even if everything else was like his Tou-san, just younger.

"Let him go!" The blonde yelled. Arashi just stood in the middle watching them. They seemed oblivious to his existence. Until the the pink haired one noticed him.

"Who're you?"

"My name's Arashi"

"Why are you here?"

"I was passing through and decided to check out the commotion"

"What village are you from, I don't recognize the symbol on your headband"

"I'm from the Village Hidden in Time"

"Are you a genin?"

"Do I look like a chuunin?"

"Where are your teammates then?"

"Are you blind woman?!" Arashi pointed behind him. The others had temporarily ceased their bickering and were looking at the blond. When he gestured behind him, there were two normal looking genins there. But the freak with purple make-up and the blond haired girl both gasped.

"G-Gaara? Is that you?" The blond stuttered. "Where did you go? I was really worried about you when you just vanished!" Gaara glared the glare of the century at her before disappearing in a swirl of sand and landing right next to Arashi.

"You were never worried about me, so stop lying" Gaara was getting pissed. Arashi could tell. He could also tell that the Konoha genin were really confused.

"H-how could you say that to your own brother and sister?!" The freak with purple make-up said.

"You are no longer my brother, Kankurou. Arashi-kun is my brother" He said, placing a hand on Arashi's shoulder. (Remember, Arashi is, like, 5 years younger than him) For a moment, Kankurou and Temari looked pained, before it quickly vanished when they remembered the actual reason why they didn't care about him in the first place. After all, he was merely a demon. Kankurou snorted and dropped the kid. The little kid ran to the miniature, more idiotic, Tou-san before glancing at Arashi and Gaara. Haku jumped down from the fence and joined them. They were about to turn around and leave, when Sakura stepped forward.

"Thank you and all for helping us, I guess, but what is your business in Konoha?"

Haku turned around and replied, "We are here for the chuunin exams. I understand your concern for the well being of your village, but we have permission" Haku held up his pass. So did Gaara and Arashi. Arashi turned around, only to see some guy standing there in a blue shirt and white shorts. He also had a hairstyle that reminded Arashi of a chicken butt.

"What is your name?"

"Eh? Me?" Arashi asked unsure.

"Yeah, you look like your only 7 or 8. How can you be a genin?"

"I graduated early because I am the most awsomest ninja ever!" Arashi said. Striking a pose eerily similar to Gais'. You could see everyone in the vicinity sweatdrop. Sakura and Sasuke were thinking the same thing, 'a bit much like Naruto' Naruto of course stepped forward and proclaimed loudly,

"No way a runt like you could be the greatest ninja ever! I will be the greatest ninja ever and become Hokage!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Yeah!" Lightning seemed to fizz between the two before Arashi turned away, nodded to Haku and Gaara, and they left. He was the unofficial leader of the team, but if Gaara gave an order, they listened. Haku, being the oldest, never ordered them to do anything, he would just give advice. To be honest, Arashi didn't even know if Haku was a boy or a girl. Now that he thought about it, he was going to have to ask at some point.

Vote for if you want Haku to be a girl or boy.

I'm registering for a special school since I am after all, a complete and totally awesome genius. I'm not sure when I'll update again, but I don't think it will be for another week. If I get into the school I'm applying for, ill be in college within a year. Yeah, im 14 and going to college.
