It was the day of the exam and Naruto and Sakura once again met up and headed to the Academy together, they were both quite nervous, because Naruto was technically MUCH weaker then before he turned into a girl, and though Sakura improved, she still wasn't all that strong, though she was stronger than Naruto was now.

They both took a deep breath and headed in through the Academy doors and ran into Sasuke at the main lobby "Tch, better late than never" Sasuke stated, he then looked at Naruto and narrowed his eyes "Why the hell are you henged into a girl Naruto?"

Naruto sighed but Sakura interrupted "It's a long story, we'll tell you later, lets get this stupid exam over with already"

Sasuke shrugged his acceptance and they climbed the stairs and arrived at the second floor. There was a crowd of genin all trying to get through a door marked '301' but there was two kids blocking the way. Naruto squinted in confusion "Huh? We're not on the third floor yet, why does that say three-hundred and one?"

Sakura realized it then and whispered to Sasuke and Naruto "Genjutsu, lets keep going" Sasuke grunted and nodded and the three continued on upstairs to the third floor.

They arrived at a large dojo and were just starting to cross it, heading for the doors to room 301 when a genin jumped down in front of them, he was wearing a green spandex suit and had a bowl style hair cut, big bushy eye brows, and big bug eyes. He challenged Sasuke to a fight then walked over to Naruto and Sakura and grabbed Naruto's hand and looked into her eyes "Kind beauty, should I defeat Sasuke-kun would you go on a date with me?"

Naruto's eyes widened and she ripped her hand free of the freaky boy and took two steps back "If you EVER come on to me again Lee, I'll turn you into a girl" Meanwhile, Sakura was laughing her ass off at Naruto's misfortune. Once Lee turned back to fight Sasuke Sakura turned to Naruto. "O-oh my that was too funny. I should thank you for looking better than me Naruto, now I don't have to deal with everyone always hitting on me"

Naruto folded her arms over her chest and pouted "To hell with that, I don't like guys, and I never will. I may be a girl, but if anything, I'm a lesbian"

Sakura giggled "As long as you don't come on to me, I'm fine with that, you might like girls, but I don't"

Naruto shrugged and the two watched as Sasuke got his ass kicked royally by Lee. Naruto was quite surprised that Sakura didn't seem to care all that much about his safety, and didn't try to help him when he lost.

Once Sasuke was standing and ready the three walked onwards and entered room three-hundred and one, and all eyes snapped towards the new comers. Sakura fidgeted under the crucifying gaze but Naruto placed a hand on her shoulder and she calmed down, Naruto herself was unaffected by the stares, used to being stared and glared at all her life.

All of the other members of the rookie nine also turned to them, and Ino glomped Sasuke and declared him her future husband while Naruto and Sakura watched. Sakura leaned over to Naruto and whispered into her ear "Was I really that bad?"

Naruto sighed "Yeah, I was meaning to ask, why the change of heart?"

Sakura shrugged "I don't really know, just when he didn't even try to get Kakashi to help train us, and he's always ignored me, it just made me realize how big of a jerk he is"

Naruto's eyes lit up at hearing that and she spontaneously wrapped her arms around Sakura and hugged her "I'm so proud of you for finally noticing!" She yelled, unintentionally garnishing the attention of all of the rookie nine.

All six of the others instantly recognized the familiar whiskers, blond hair, and blue eyes of Naruto and Ino's eye twitched in anger "Naruto, why the hell are you henged into a girl?" She ground out between her teeth.

Sakura pushed Naruto behind her and protectively put her arm out in front of her "Leave her alone."

Ino's, along with everyone else's eyes widened "Are you protecting the dead last loser?" Ino questioned.

Sakura's left eye twitched in irritation "Do you have a problem with that Ino? Someone has to be friends with Naruto, and I'm happy I am"

Just then a gray haired Shinobi with glasses walked up to their small crowd "You guys should really keep it down, you're making a lot of people annoyed"

Ino turned to him and narrowed her eyes "And who the hell are you that we should listen to you?"

The boy bowed slightly to them "My name is Yakushi Kabuto, and I'm just trying to help you guys out, I've been to these exams before, and I know a little bit about everything going on here"

Sasuke stepped towards Kabuto and asked "What exactly do you know?"

Kabuto smirked and pulled out a deck of apparently blank cards "What don't I know. I've got data on just about anything on these cards. How many Shinobi are coming from what countries, skills and abilities of most of the Shinobi here, along with some other stuff, got anyone you guys want to know about?"

Ino pushed through the group of Shinobi and nodded "Yeah, I wanna know what's the deal with Naruto over there"

Kabuto shrugged and pulled a card from his deck and pumped some chakra into it "Lets see, Uzumaki Naruto, Age fifteen, Kunoichi of Konohagakure, team mates are Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, under Hatake Kakashi. Mediocre Ninjutsu skills, no skill in Genjutsu, and poor Taijutsu skills. Forty-six D-rank missions, three C-rank missions, and two C-rank missions that were upgraded to A-ranks. All in all, a pretty low end of the spectrum Shinobi"

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened "What the fuck? He's a guy, he's not a Kunoichi" Ino corrected.

Kabuto shrugged "According to Konoha's medical records, Uzumaki Naruto is, in fact, female"

All eyes instantly snapped to Naruto, who was still standing behind Sakura and Ino yelled out "You're a girl!?"

Naruto lowered her head and sighed "It's...complicated. But yes...I'm a girl"

Just then before any further questions could be answered there was a large explosion of smoke at the front of the room and some twenty men dressed in gray appeared, lead by a tall man with a scared face who was wearing a long black trench coat and a black bandanna "Welcome to the Chuunin exams maggots" he announced.

Five minutes later and everyone was in their seats, courtesy of the numbers on there entrance forms. Naruto was sitting next to a very stunned looking Hyuuga Hinata, who wouldn't stop staring at him 'There's no way that Naruto has always been a girl' she thought. She silently looked at her with her Byakugan and sure enough, no chakra was being emitted, proof that he wasn't using a henge, hell he wasn't using any chakra at all! Something had to be amiss though, she'd looked at him before with her Byakugan, and he was never under a henge then either 'Something must have caused this to happen' she concluded. 'Maybe I can help him..her'

Ibiki went on to explain the rules of the exam, and the policy on cheating, and then they were all told to flip over their tests and begin.

Naruto flipped over her test and read the first question and her jaw went slack 'T-this is impossible, I'm so fucked' she thought.

Naruto continued to read each of the other questions as her hope of passing sank lower and lower 'I should have known not to try the exams, I couldn't even pass the genin exams and I'm no smarter than I was then' It was at that point that by pure chance she noticed the side of Hinata's face, and the veins that were bulging around her eyes 'Wait, those veins, the Byakugan! Hinata's cheating!? But wait, if she's cheating, then most everyone else probably is too. Could that be the real purpose of the exam? To cheat without getting caught? But what do I do? I have no skills to cheat stealthily or anything, especially without any chakra...'

Hinata then noticed that Naruto was staring at her and she slid her test over to the side slightly and whispered "Umm Naruto, you can use my answers if you want to"

Naruto's jaw dropped at Hinata's proposal, 'Well. It could be a trap..but Hinata's always been nice, I don't think she would do that. Even if it is a trap, does it matter? If I don't take the answers from her, I'll fail anyway.' "Thanks Hinata, you're saving my life here" she whispered back and quickly stole small glances at Hinata's paper and filled out her own paper.

Hinata meanwhile was having an internal conflict of her own. 'He's a girl now, but he's still the same as he used to be, and I still feel so attracted to her...am I a lesbian then? What's wrong with me, even though he's a girl, I still want nothing but to be with him'

Naruto quickly finished the nine answers Hinata had and quickly became bored, so she began to play with her excessively long blond hair.

As Naruto mindlessly twirled her hair around her finger Hinata looked on, enraptured 'She looks so innocent and fragile, it makes him even sexier. Oh god, did I just call a girl sexy? I am a lesbian!' her face flushed tomato red and she promptly fainted, with her head hitting her desk with a 'thud' which startled Naruto.

Naruto didn't want to risk getting either of them kicked out for cheating so she left her be for the time being.

The final ten minutes of the test finally arrived and Ibiki took his place at the front of the room "Alright kiddies, it's time for the final question of the first part of the exam" Naruto kicked Hinata under the desk, startling her into the land of the conscious. "But, before I give you the final question, I must give you the rest of the rules. For you see, the tenth question is not mandatory. You can choose to opt out for it, that of course, results in the failure of you and your team. If you so choose to take the question though, and you get it wrong. You will fail and be forever banned from taking the Chuunin exams again, regardless of your score on the first nine questions. So choose now and choose wisely"

Naruto sat there, confident that whatever the answer was, Hinata would find it, and she would then give it to her, then a thought struck her 'Sakura! She probably thinks I can't answer these, if she opts out for me we'll all fail, I can't let that happen! But what do I do? Hmm, I wonder' Naruto looked straight at Ibiki "I can't decide, is the final question as easy as the rest of this test? Because I'm set then if it is"

Sakura, who was sitting a few rows up from Naruto looked at her, shocked 'Naruto answered everything? And it was "easy"? What the...well I bet I can answer it, and Sasuke probably can too, so if Naruto thinks she can, I guess we're golden then'

Ibiki and the instructors watched as team after team submitted and quit the test. After about five minutes no more hands went up so he nodded to himself "Very well, it seems as though no other teams are ready to quit, so here we go. You all pass the first exam"

Everyone in the room's eyes widened, including Naruto's. "What the hell? What about the tenth question?" A blond haired girl from Suna yelled.

Ibiki chuckled "That was the tenth question. A Shinobi must always be willing to put everything at risk for their mission, including their futures, and their lives. Those that don't understand that, or aren't willing to, don't deserve to be Chuunin."

"What about the first nine questions then?" a brunette Kiri nin asked.

Ibiki grinned "The first nine questions were to see how well you could gather information in a hostile situation. They served a purpose because I very highly doubt anyone would have even attempted the final question if they weren't first able to answer at least some of the first nine"

Ibiki got no farther in his speech though, as a black ball of cloth smashed through the window on the right side of the room and it unfurled to be a huge banner which obscured Ibiki from view. It read 'Mitarashi Anko, the one and only proctor of the second exam!' and before it stood the one and only Mitarashi Anko, in all her glory.

Naruto was now both scared and happy, sure she liked Anko, she'd looked after her on a few occasions when she was little, but she was weird for sure, very eccentric and could be quite scary when she wanted to, and if she was proctoring the exam, they were in for something big.

Anko looked at the crop of genin before her and sighed "Ibiki, you're getting soft on me, there's still over twenty teams left"

Ibiki walked around the side of the banner and sighed "Or, they're getting better. You're early by the way... again"

Anko shrugged "Happens. Here's what's going to happen from here ya little shits, You've got ten minutes to get to training ground forty-four. If you're not there in ten minutes, don't bother showing up, because you'll be disqualified. I'll see you all there, bye!" She said, finishing far to cheerily before hopping back out the window.

Naruto, knowing that she would need every second of that ten minutes to get there without any chakra instantly jumped up out of her seat and sprinted out the window behind Anko, Sakura soon followed, knowing to stick with her team mate, and Sasuke followed a moment later.

Naruto was the last person to arrive at training ground forty-four, which resulted in everyone looking towards her, including Anko. Anko glared at her for a few seconds before turning back to the crowd of genin "Alright, anyone who isn't here as of this second, is disqualified. Now that that's out of the way we can move on to the real fun. This exam is quite simple, you will be given either an earth or heaven scroll, and from there you must obtain the opposite scroll that you need, and then head to the tower in the center of the forest. You have five days to complete that objective. But before any of you get your scrolls, you must all fill out and hand in these wavers"

"Wavers for what?" A Kumo nin called out from the crowd.

Anko grinned "Wavers that clear us of any responsibility in case you die in the forest. Killing is allowed in this section, and such, we can't be blamed if you drop dead in our forest, hence these wavers"

Anko and two other Shinobi then quickly hopped around the group, handing out the wavers "Fill em out, and drop em off at the booth to get your team's scroll. Now hurry the hell up!" she ordered.

Naruto's team was one of the first to get their scroll, and while everyone else was waiting in line to get theirs Anko came up to them "Why oh why do I think I see one Uzumaki Naruto hiding from me with a henge?" She cryptically queried as she walked up behind Naruto.

Naruto shuddered slightly and turned to face Anko "Regardless of what you think Anko, this is not a henge, but yeah, It's me, Naruto"

Anko took a step back "Oh really? Then what is it?"

Naruto sighed "It's nothing, just me. It's hard to explain, but I'm a girl" Naruto explained.

Anko grinned "Really, my little Naruto-kun is a -chan now?" Without any warning she wrapped her arms around Naruto's back and firmly took hold of her breasts and squeezed them tightly, Causing Naruto to squeak and jump away from her "Wow, they are real!" Anko said while giggling.

Naruto paled and turned on her "What the hell did I just say!? I said I was a girl, that hurt!"

Anko shrugged "My bad. So how did this come about? I've never heard of anyone...becoming the opposite sex"

Naruto sighed "We're not sure, but I think it has to do with my furry friend"

Anko nodded "Ooh, well then, how ya like being a girl? Masturbate yet?"

Naruto choked on her saliva "Did I do what now?!"

Anko smirked evilly "Ohh, you're gonna have a ball once you do"

Sakura sighed and stepped between Anko and Naruto "I think it's time for you to leave her alone"

Anko took a step back, surprised that this tiny girl before her was standing up to her "And why should I do that Pinky?"

Sakura narrowed her eyes at Anko "It's obvious that she's not comfortable, why would you want to make things worse?"

"Why would you want to protect her?" Anko retorted.

Sakura scowled "Because she's my friend, and if you bug her, you bug me"

Anko smiled warmly "Good, see ya round kids" and she hopped away to irritate some other teams.

Sakura turned to Naruto, who was rubbing her now sore breasts. "What the hell is wrong with her, Naruto?" she asked.

Naruto sighed "She's just looking out for me...in her extremely weird and intrusive ways, she has her moments of relative normalcy too though"

Approximately fifteen minutes later and the teams of genin were running through the forest of death.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

While Sasuke Naruto and Sakura was working their way through the forest Sasuke turned to Naruto "Do I even want to know why you're a girl?"

Naruto sighed "It's a bit of a story, but it happened on our last mission" She replied.

Sasuke shrugged "Whatever, just don't get in my way"

Naruto nodded sadly, as much as it hurt to admit, Sasuke was the strongest person on their team, especially now.

After about an hour and a half of moving through the forest a strange looking Kusa Shinobi dropped down in front of them, blocking their way, "Ku ku ku, Sasuke-kun it's great to finally meet you" She greeted in a creepy voice.

Naruto already knew this was bad, she sucked at gauging an enemies strength, and this person felt more powerful than anything she'd ever faced "Watch out Sasuke, she's much stronger than she looks" She warned.

Sasuke nodded and turned to the Shinobi "What do you want? It's obvious you don't just want to kill us, or you would have done it already"

The creepy girl smiled evilly "How perceptive of you Sasuke-kun. In fact, I want to test you, are you prepared to die fighting?" She asked. A second later an armful of snakes shot out of her sleeves and raced towards Sasuke, who jumped away.

Naruto's eyes widened at the sight of the snakes 'What the, only Anko and her sensei can do that!...oh god' It struck her like a five ton weight, they were fighting Anko's ex-sensei "Orochimaru.." Naruto whispered breathlessly.

The now identified Orochimaru turned to Naruto "So, Naruto-chan knows her stuff does she? Perhaps I should teach you something else"

Sasuke stepped in front of Naruto, surprising her "Your fights with me, leave them out of it"

Orochimaru chuckled "How heroic of you Sasuke-kun, let us begin then" He instantly dashed forwards and planted his knee in Sasuke's stomach, sending him flying backwards.

Sasuke went rolling backwards and landed face down and quickly started to push himself up, but Orochimaru was already there and kicked him viciously in th side, sending him flying into a tree, the impact cracking the bark.

Naruto reached into her holsters and retrieved a handful of Shuriken, two Kunai, and a length of Shinobi wire, which surprised Sakura "What are you doing Naruto, you don't stand a chance against him!"

Naruto finished setting up the Shinobi wire and charged forward, calling back to Sakura "Even so, I can't leave him to die alone!"

Naruto threw one Kunai at Orochimaru, who dodged easily, then threw the second, which he again dodged easily, landing in front of a tree. Naruto smirked and let her Shurikens fly at Orochimaru. Orochimaru was just about to chuckle when the Shurikens missed by a mile, until the Shinobi wire pinned him to the tree.

Orochimaru chuckled still though "Ku ku ku, it was a good plan Naruto-chan, but you've failed" he quickly began to dissolve into mud, startling Naruto "Tsuchi Bunshi!" she yelled out as she spun around, only to take a sickeningly powerful roundhouse kick to the skull which sent her flying into a tree, where she viciously slammed into and crumpled to the ground.

Orochimaru then turned back to Sasuke, who was struggling to stand after hitting the tree. He walked up to Sasuke and grinned "You did well Sasuke-kun, I'll see you soon enough." In a gross display his neck extended many feet and he sunk his teeth into the tender flesh of Sasuke neck, burning the curse seal into his skin and causing the Uchiha to pass out from pain.

Orochimaru smirked at his handiwork and disappeared into the forest just as Sakura appeared. She saw Sasuke lying motionless on the ground, then saw the crumpled heap that was Naruto at the base of a tree, she instantly ran over to check on her and gasped when she got close. Whatever hit Naruto, hit her really, really hard. There was a trail of blood coming from her eye, which had Sakura worried, as well as a vicious cut on the left side of her face that was bleeding profusely.

Sakura took her two unconscious teammates and brought them to a hollowed out base of a tree where she bandages Naruto's face and checked her eye, which greatly startled her. Naruto's entire right eye was covered in ruptured blood vessels and looked seriously damaged.

Time passed and the team from Oto arrived to kill Sasuke, but fortunately team ten arrived and delayed them until Sasuke himself decimated their team and sent them packing, along with obtaining the scroll they needed.

Once the Oto team was gone, along with team ten, Naruto stirred and came to, to find that her head was killing her and her right eye was burning so much that she couldn't open it. She looked around and found both Sasuke and Sakura alright "Good, you guys are alright" She said, sighing in relief.

Sasuke smirked slightly "It'll take a lot more than some freak to get rid of us, loser. Now hurry up, we've got a large amount of ground to cover to get to the tower."

Naruto nodded and stood up "What happened to my eye? It hurts so much..."

Sakura sighed "I'm not sure what happened to you, but whatever it was badly damaged your eye, I took a look at it while you were unconscious and it didn't look good, though I don't know if the damage will be permanent or not"

Naruto groaned "Just another thing to add to the list of reasons my life sucks. Lets go before something else decides to happen to me" Sasuke and Sakura nodded and the three slowly made their way towards the center of the forest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It took the three of them the remaining four days to reach the tower, seeing as they were all no where near tip-top shape.

When they finally entered the tower they walked into a large arena type room that already held all of the teams, the proctor, who was standing at the head of the crowd cleared his throat "Good, now that the final team has arrived, we can begin the next section"

Naruto's one eye widened 'No rest? This is going to suck'

The proctor looked over the teams and nodded "Because of the number of teams that made it through to this point, we will be holding preliminary exams to thin down the numbers before the third exam. They will be simple one on one fights, there are no rules and anything is allowed, you will fight until one of you is unable to continue, gives up, or dies. The board behind me will display who will be fighting against who" As he finished his explanation the board sparkled to life and displayed the first match-up "Akado Yorui and Uchiha Sasuke, please step forward for your match, everyone else please make your way up to the balcony".

Naruto didn't even get a chance to try to talk to Kakashi before Sasuke's fight was over and the two disappeared in a Sunshin. Naruto sighed and her Sensei's lack of care and Kurenai slid over closer to her.

Kurenai looked at the slowly healing wound on Naruto's face and her closed eye with concern, Naruto had become like a little sister to her "Are you okay Naruto? You look like you took quite a beating, are you sure you were ready for this?"

Naruto sighed "Well, Kakashi-sensei didn't train Sakura or me at all, so I know we weren't ready, not that it would have mattered while fighting Orochimaru"

Kurenai's crimson eyes hardened in anger "What do you mean he didn't train you? Surely he taught you something"

Naruto pulled out the orange trimmed scroll and handed it to Kurenai "this is what he gave Sakura and I to train for the exams"

Kurenai read the scroll, steadily getting more and more angry as she continued, this scroll was completely useless! "I will certainly bring this to the Hokage's attention Naruto, for now, I suppose all I can do is wish you good luck in your match"

Naruto nodded and smiled "Thanks Kurenai" At that moment the score board decided the names of the next fighters, and Kurenai gasped "Oh no". Naruto turned and read the board 'Inuzuka Kiba Vs. Uzumaki Naruto'. "Damn" Naruto sighed as she made her way down to the arena.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kiba was already down in the arena and waiting when Naruto got down to the center of the arena. The proctor looked at the two and sighed to himself, he could guess the outcome of this match. "Begin!" He announced.

Kiba grinned at Naruto "Just because you're a chick doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you, I'm gonna end this in one punch!"

Naruto sighed 'While I probably don't stand a chance, I'm still not handing this asshole the match.' She reached into her holsters and pulled out two Kunai, holding one in the standard hold and one in a reverse grip.

Kiba grinned and charged forward at a speed Naruto wasn't aware he was capable of, and didn't have a chance to match without chakra. Kiba drilled his fist into Naruto's stomach, causing her to hack up some blood and fly into the concrete wall violently, creating a huge crack and embedding her in the wall a bit.

Kiba grinned and turned to the proctor "See? one punch, it's over" He was surprised to hear a groan from Naruto's direction and turned to see her pull herself free of the wall and land shakily on her feet.

Kiba narrowed his eyes at Naruto and growled "You want to act tough? Fine I'll teach you something about trying to act tough!" He moved swiftly across the room, not even bothering to call on Akamaru, who sat near the proctor.

Kiba grabbed Naruto's hair as she stumbled away from the wall and tossed her to the ground and jumped on top of her, pinning her arms above her head and kneeling on her legs, pinning them.

Naruto glared at Kiba with her one good eye "What the hell do you think you're doing Kiba?" She asked.

Kiba eyed Naruto's body hungrily "You know, you're pretty damn hot Naruto" He said as he opened Naruto's sleeveless jacket and pushed it to the side.

Everyone up in the balconies was shocked, most of all, Kurenai 'He isn't going to do what I think he is, is he!?' she thought frantically.

Kiba smiled sickly at Naruto and roughly grabbed Naruto's left breast with his free hand and began to massage it "Wow, you've got some pretty big tits Naruto, so soft"

Naruto growled at Kiba and attempted to buck him off "Get the fuck off of me Kiba or I'll make you regret it!" She yelled.

Her struggling only enticed Kiba further though "Really? What can you do about it? Cry for me bitch" He said as he squeezed her breast painfully hard.

A single tear streamed down Naruto's cheek from the pain and Kiba leaned forward and liked it up "Mmm, your tears are so delicious, I wonder what the rest of you tastes like?" He taunted. In that moment, something deep down inside Naruto snapped and bright blue chakra exploded out from all of her tenketsu, She yanked her leg free from Kiba's weight and slammed it into his chest, sending him flying back across the arena.

Naruto was suddenly bombarded with information, and knowledge she never knew before and in her mind a voice rumbled deeply "You've broken the final seal I placed to keep your chakra locked away until you were ready. You've now been privileged with pieces of my knowledge and all my chakra, good bye kit" It happened so quickly that she wasn't sure what happened, but her eye suddenly didn't hurt anymore and the wound on her face sizzled shut and disappeared.

As the knowledge from the Kyuubi blasted through her brain Kiba charged across the room and punched her in the face as hard as he could, sending her skipping across the concrete like a stone on water.

Naruto just picked herself back up though like nothing happened and settled into a very strange, and yet perfectly familiar fighting stance. She'd never even known about it until a second ago, but it was as if she was a trained master in the art. Blue chakra blazed all around her, sending her blond hair flying in it's own breeze.

Kiba charged again and threw another fist at her face, but she easily leaned slightly to one side, guided his fist past her face, and swept his leg out from under him in one motion, she followed through and drove a fist down at his face that he narrowly rolled out of the way of, which was a good thing seeing as her punch caused a crater to form in the concrete floor.

Kiba at this point knew that sexually harassing Naruto might not have been the best thing to do, in fact it may have been the worst mistake he ever made. He looked into her eyes, which were a burning blue with feral slit pupils "You're going to regret everything you did!" She screamed, before disappearing.

She appeared before Kiba and drove her knee into his chin as hard as she could, knocking him ten feet in the air, where she proceeded to jump up above him and slammed her leg into his stomach so hard that he rocketed into the floor, spraying the arena with chunks of concrete.

When she landed she walked up to Kiba, who was struggling to pick himself up and she lifted up her foot and in one swift motion, stomped on his crotch as hard as she could, causing Kiba's eyes to roll back into his head as he passed out.

Naruto took a bunch of deep breaths and calmed herself and the blazing blue chakra faded and she fixed her shirt and jacket "Fucking asshole" She said as tears built up in her eyes and she ran back up to the balcony sobbing.

The proctor was about as stunned as a man could be. He looked from Naruto, sobbing uncontrollably up on the balcony, being comforted by Sakura, to Kiba, lying in a crater in the floor with most probably a case of crushed testicles and multiple broken ribs. "Winner...Uzumaki Naruto" he announced.

Naruto hugged Sakura tightly and sobbed into her shoulder, Kiba's actions breaking through her emotional barricades.

Kurenai, along with just about every Kunoichi in the room was furious at Kiba 'I am going to kick that boy's ass when he gets out of the hospital' Kurenai vowed to herself. 'How could he do such a thing to Naruto? Let alone a fellow Shinobi' Her thoughts then wandered to her new blond sister 'Where did that power come from though? That was more chakra than I've ever felt...' She disregarded that thought though and embraced Naruto and rubbed her back, completely ignoring Kiba being carried out by the medics.

Fights continued to play out in the arena below as Sakura and Kurenai continued to comfort Naruto, and soon enough Sakura's fight with Ino came up. When Sakura was called forward Naruto looked up to her and offered a small smile "Kick her ass Sakura, I know you can do it"

Sakura smiled back and nodded "Yeah, it'll be a cinch"

Sadly, encouragement alone cannot trump proper training, though it does count for something, Ino and Sakura knocked each other out in the final blow of the match and neither progressed to the finals.

More fights progressed, Hinata was convinced to give up by Neji, Tenten was demolished by Temari, Kankuro destroyed a leaf nin, Gaara trumped Lee, Shino beat Zaku, Shikamaru beat Kin, and Chouji lost to Dosu.

Naruto had finally recovered from her slight breakdown, and Sakura woke up from being knocked out and the proctor called all the winners down to the center, so Naruto went down and joined the other winners.

The proctor looked at them all, then looked to Ibiki, who had just arrived with a cardboard box "Congratulations to you all for passing the preliminaries, we will now bring around a box, reach in and pull out a slip of paper, then hand it to Ibiki"

The box went around and everyone took out a slip and handed it to Ibiki, and minutes later they showed them a small portable chalk board that had a tournament style line-up on it "Take a good look at this board, these are the matches you will all be in, and when you will be doing them"

Uzumaki Naruto Vs. Hyuuga Neji up First

Sebaku no Gaara Vs. Uchiha Sasuke Second

Sebaku no Kankuro Vs. Aburame Shino Third

Sebaku no Temari Vs. Nara Shikamaru Fourth

Dosu Vs. Winner of second match

"You all have thirty days until the day of the third exam, use this time wisely to train yourself for the coming battles, you're now all dismissed for your training"

Most of the genin quickly left, but before Naruto or Sakura could Kurenai jumped down beside them and placed a hand on each of their shoulders "Hey, do you guys want to accompany me to the Hokage office? I'm going to have a little chat with him about Kakashi's mistreatment of you guys, and your statements would sure help my case"

Naruto shrugged "I guess so, It's not like I have anything better to do, Sakura you gonna come?"

Sakura shrugged as well "I mis well, I don't have anything to do, or anywhere to be either"

Kurenai nodded "Alright, hang on tight, I'll use a Shunshin to take us there" Kurenai closed her eyes but they quickly opened a second later "Umm, never mind actually, we'll have to make our way back through the forest"

Naruto looked at Kurenai with concern "You okay Kurenai, why couldn't you Shunshin?"

Kurenai sighed "It's not that I can't...I just can't bring you with me Naruto, you've got far to much chakra, I can't transport it all, Sakura I could do, but not you"

Naruto nodded "That's fine, take Sakura with you then, I'll meet you guys there, I wanna try out my chakra now that I 'unlocked' it some how.

Kurenai looked from Sakura to Naruto again "Are you sure Naruto? I have no problem with traveling along side you"

Naruto smiled warmly "Yeah I'm sure, I want to see what I'm capable of now though, I'll see you guys in a little while"

Kurenai nodded and smiled back, as did Sakura "Alright Naruto, see you in a little bit then" And they both disappeared in a burst of smoke.

Naruto stepped out of the tower and back into the forest of death and took a deep breath of fresh air, and was surprised to find that she could smell everything she could smell the traces of the other genin, to the scents of the animals in the forest, she also noticed she could see and hear everything much clearer than ever before.

She walked away from the tower and focused on her chakra and was once again bathed in the intense blazing blue fire that was her chakra, it flourished with silent intensity, the ethereal blue flames flicking in the air over three feet above her head. She then noticed other changes that happened to her that she hadn't noticed while attacking Kiba, her nails grew pointed and hard as diamonds, her canine teeth grew a bit longer, and her eyes changed into silt pupils and angled slightly to make her look incredibly angry and vicious, she liked the change, she no longer looked like a fragile girl, she looked like someone capable of killing, she looked like a Shinobi.

She noted that leaning forward seemed to be easier while using her chakra, so she bent down on all fours and was surprised by how natural and comfortable the normally awkward posture was. She pushed off with her legs and rocketed off into the forest, her hair whipping back behind her from the extreme speed.

Naruto laughed as she flew through the forest at speeds she never thought possible, and when she was somewhere in the middle of no where she stopped and grinned to herself, looking positively deviant with her sharpened canines. She formed her all to familiar cross seal and yelled out "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" In an instant the entire area around her exploded in smoke, and when it cleared it revealed to be completely stuffed with clones of her. She dispelled them all and a look of stunned surprise washed over her 'Exactly fifteen hundred clones, that's the exact number I wanted to make! I could never control how many I made before, anything over five and I couldn't be sure. Did my chakra control increase that much now?"

She quickly focused on her chakra and concentrated on controlling it and moving it around her body and grinned deviously as it bowed to her every whim "Oh life may have just gotten a lot better" She told herself before rocketing off towards the village again.

Naruto arrived at the Hokage tower twenty-five minutes later and found Kurenai and Sakura waiting in the main lobby. When Naruto walked into the lobby not even sweating both Kurenai and Sakura's eyes widened "How the hell did you get here so fast!?" Kurenai asked.

Naruto shrugged "I...ran?"

Sakura was beside herself "But-but it hasn't even been a half hour, how could you have possibly run that far that fast?"

Naruto smiled "I'll explain in a little bit, for now, let's go talk to Jiji"

Kurenai and Sakura reluctantly nodded and the three headed upstairs and entered Sarutobi's office.

"Ahh, Naruto, Sakura, Kurenai. Good afternoon, what can I do for the three of you?"

Kurenai pulled out the scroll Naruto had shown her and placed it on his desk "That scroll contains everything that Kakashi gave Naruto and Sakura to train for the Chuunin exams, I'd like you to read it and tell me what you think"

Sarutobi eyed Kurenai for a second before picking up the scroll, opening it, and reading it. And just the same as with Kurenai, the farther he went, the more disappointed and upset his expression became.

When he finished reading the scroll he closed it back up and placed it back down on the desk and turned to Naruto and Sakura "Would you two care to enlighten me as to everything else that Kakashi has taught you since he took you in?"

Naruto and Sakura looked at each other nervously for a second before Naruto spoke "Umm, he taught us to climb trees using chakra...and I don't know what he taught Sasuke, he would always train him alone"

Sarutobi sighed and rubbed his forehead with his palm "Kakashi, you fool" he whispered.

Kurenai herself was livid, she just thought he trained them like shit for the exam, she was unaware of the his complete lack of training. "What are we going to do about this Sarutobi? These two have been left on their own since day one, how do we fix this?"

Sarutobi eyed Kurenai once again "Well, I do have one person in mind who could train them both, and they have quite the bond already formed"

Everyone's eyes all widened, as they had no clue what the hell Sarutobi was talking about "Who do you mean Hokage-sama?" Kurenai asked.

Sarutobi smiled slyly "You, Kurenai"

Kurenai's eyes widened "Me? How am I supposed to train them? I have a team of my own to train, I mean I would love to train them but I don't see that being possible"

Sarutobi sighed "That's where my idea takes place, seeing as Kakashi seems to ignore anyone who isn't 'born with talent' and no offense to you Kurenai, but I saw Kiba's assault on Naruto, and he hasn't seemed to take much of your teachings to heart, perhaps a...switch-up is in order"

Kurenai's eyes widened slightly "A switch-up? What do you mean?"

Sarutobi smiled "How would you like to have Konoha's first ever all Kunoichi team? What I'm thinking is that you take Naruto and Sakura under your wing, and Kakashi takes Shino and Kiba. You Sakura and Naruto have bonded better then I could have thought possible, plus, I feel being around girls her own age will help with Hinata's confidence, I don't see this situation failing in any way."

Kurenai thought about it for a minute before furrowing her brow "Not that I don't like the idea, but wouldn't an all Kunoichi team be bad? Isn't it looked down upon to not have a male Shinobi on a team?"

Sarutobi shrugged slightly "Normally that is true, but your team balances out perfectly. Hinata is a fabulous reckon specialist, you are Konoha's best Genjutsu specialist, Sakura shows great promise for Genjutsu or medical specialization, and Naruto is a great front line fighter"

Naruto raised her hand slightly "Umm Jiji, I can track people and things now too, my senses have been thrown through the roof since my fight with Kiba, I can see, hear, and smell everything"

Sakura frowned "How did that happen? I still want to know how you got here so fast, and how you have as much chakra as Kurenai said"

Naruto nodded "Well, I'm pretty sure that I know what turned me into a girl, but to explain, I have to go back to the beginning. Sakura, you remember the story about the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha? How the Yondaime died killing it?"

Sakura nodded "Yeah...but what does that have to do with you?"

Naruto sighed "Well...the story that you've been told isn't quite true... The Kyuubi cannot truly be killed, the best the Yondaime could do was to seal it away to save the village, but any inanimate object could not contain the Kyuubi's power, so it was sealed into something that could contain it...it was sealed into me"

Sakura stared at Naruto, wide eyed for a few minutes before looking her in the eyes "So...that's why everyone glares at you...and why no one helped you in the academy"

Naruto sighed sadly "Yeah...that's why everyone hates me"

Sakura nodded "Well, I know the real you, a few weeks ago, I can't help but think that I would have turned into one of those mindless asses, but still...what does this have to do with you being a girl or your senses, I understand the chakra, but...nothing else"

Naruto sighed again, why did things have to be so difficult. "Well, we're not positive, but after I got attacked on that mission, I woke up as a girl, then later, that first night at Kurenai's when I went to sleep I came to the Kyuubi's seal in my mind. But the seal was gone, as was the Kyuubi. I ventured into the cage and there was a message burned into the wall, it said it sacrificed itself to save me, and well...this is the outcome. Then, when I was fighting with Kiba before, I apparently broke the 'final seal' that the Kyuubi placed. It's voice told me that I now have portions of it's knowledge and memory, along with all of it's chakra under my complete control" Naruto explained, taking a deep breath afterwards.

Everyone in the room looked at Naruto in surprise, as they all learned a little, some more than others. "All of it's chakra?" Kurenai asked.

Naruto held out her hand as a gigantic ethereal blue formed erupted from her palm "That, and my chakra control is higher than I thought possible"

Sarutobi smiled "All the more reasons that make you an even better front line fighter. So, what do you say Kurenai?"

Kurenai looked from Naruto to Sakura then thought about her team, Kiba was always trying to get into Hinata's pants, and he obviously didn't respect what she, or any other women thought. Shino was alright on his own "Alright, I'll do it" 'Both Kiba and Shino have full clans to train and back them as well, Naruto and Sakura are all alone'

Naruto smiled brightly and pumped her fist "Yeah! Kurenai-sensei, I like the sound of that!"

Sakura smiled warmly as well, as did Kurenai. Sarutobi himself nodded "Very well, Team eight is as follows, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Hinata, and Uzumaki Naruto under sensei Yuuhi Kurenai. You are all now dismissed, perhaps you should locate Hinata and get to know each other better?"

The three nodded and left his office, once outside Kurenai turned to her two new charges "All right, meet me at training ground eight, I'm going to get Hinata and meet you guys there in a little bit"

Naruto nodded and turned to Sakura "Let's get going then Sakura?"

Sakura smiled and nodded "Yeah, lets go"

Kurenai smiled at the two's friendship and disappeared in a burst of smoke and Naruto and Sakura began heading for training ground eight.

Kurenai appeared outside of the Hyuuga estate and walked passed the two gate guards. As Hinata's sensei she was free to come and go as needed. Kurenai walked into the clan house and up to Hinata's room and heard the quiet sobs that she knew belonged to one depressed Hyuuga. She knocked gently on the door and heard the crying instantly stop "W-who's there?" Hinata asked from inside.

Kurenai sighed "It's me Hinata, Kurenai"

A moment later Hinata's door cracked open and Hinata stood in the doorway, her eyes bloodshot and her cheeks stained with tears "W-what do you want s-sensei?" She asked.

Kurenai exhaled "Can I come in Hinata? I wanted to talk with you"

Hinata stepped to the side and motioned for Kurenai to enter, and she shut the door behind her once she came inside. Hinata sat back down on her bed and Kurenai pulled the chair from her desk over to the bed and sat on it "What's wrong Hinata?" She asked.

Hinata sighed sadly "E-everyone was right about m-me, I'm w-weak and u-useless, I couldn't even stand up to N-Neji"

Kurenai frowned "You are not useless, or weak, Hinata. We haven't had much time to train yet, we just need more time. I have complete faith in you and your skills Hinata. I know that you will become a fantastic Kunoichi with some time and effort"

Hinata looked up into Kurenai's crimson eyes and smiled slightly "S-so, did you h-have some other r-reason to be here, or did you just want to check on your weakest student?"

Kurenai glared at Hinata in such a way that she shivered "Stop calling yourself weak this instant young lady! And yes, I did have another reason to be here. After Kiba's...display during the preliminaries it's been decided that it is in the team's best interest for us to swap members with another team, so I wanted you to meet you new teammates"

Hinata's bloodshot eyes widened "Teammates? Shino was moved too? Who are my new teammates?"

Kurenai smirked slyly "I want you to be surprised, which is why I wanted to come pick you up, so you can meet them"

Hinata's eyes widened once again "You want me to meet them now? I look horrible!" Now Hinata was by no means shallow, but she was, in fact, a teenager, and had an image to uphold.

Kurenai giggled at her stressing out "It's alright Hinata, I told them we would be a little bit, why don't you get cleaned up first, then we can go"

Hinata nodded slowly and disappeared into her room's attached bathroom, leaving Kurenai to think 'Damn, I wish my room had an attached bathroom..'

Five minutes later Hinata emerged from the bathroom looking as if nothing ever happened to her and Kurenai smiled softly "Ready to go?"

Hinata sighed "I suppose"

Kurenai nodded "Good, lets go" She placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and the two disappeared in a burst of smoke.

Kurenai appeared at training ground eight with Hinata by her side and Naruto smiled "Good afternoon Hinata" she greeted.

Hinata's eyes bulged "N-Naruto? What are you doing h-here?" She stammered.

Naruto grinned "Sakura-chan and I and your new teammates!" She chirped.

Hinata blushed furiously "N-Nani? What about Kakashi-san, or Sasuke-san?"

Naruto's smile faltered slightly "Kakashi is a prodigy obsessed asshole, and Sasuke is a revenge driven psyco who would sooner have Sakura and I dead than help him. We're better of here with you, and Kurenai-sensei"

Hinata was stunned, over the course of the five days in the forest of death she had come to the conclusion that it was the inside that counted, and female or not, Naruto was the same on the inside, and she would continue to love him, even if it meant being lesbian. "B-but w-what about K-Kiba-kun, and Shino-kun?" she asked.

Kurenai sighed "Shino will be fine on Kakashi's team, and after Kiba's actions against Naruto...I can't say I'm all that concerned with what becomes of him"

Hinata was shocked at Kurenai's cold words, but then again, she herself was furious at Kiba's actions against Naruto in the exam.

Kurenai noticed Hinata's face and sighed "Alright, why don't you all introduce yourselves fully"

Naruto nodded happily "Okay, I'll go first! As you all know, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like training, Ichiraku's ramen, and Sakura-chan, Kurenai-sensei, and hopefully soon, you Hinata-chan. I dislike people who ignore others, and I will destroy anyone who harms, or attempts to harm my friends. Umm, I guess training is my hobby...along with hanging out with Sakura-chan and Kurenai-sensei"

Sakura smiled and Naruto's introduction, as did the other two ladies and she went next. "Of you all know I'm Haruno Sakura. I like Naruto and Kurenai-san, and I like to train with Naruto to get stronger. I also dislike those who ignore others, along with bullies and perverts. I like to write in my free time"

Hinata took a deep breath and sighed "I', Hyuuga Hinata, as I'm sure you know. I like Kurenai-sensei, and trying different types of teas. I dislike people who take advantage of others, or discourage them. I like to press flowers and draw in my spare time"

Kurenai smiled happily "Good, now, why don't we spend the rest of the day enjoying ourselves? What do you guys think of going to the hot springs?"

Sakura's eyes glazed over slightly in anticipation "Kami, I haven't been to the hot springs since before I graduated the academy"

Naruto smiled brightly "Sure! I've never been to a hot spring before"

Hinata just nodded, and Kurenai grinned "Great! Let's go then!" The next moment the new group of four women were walking off towards the hotsprings.

Twenty minutes later in the changing rooms of the hot springs the different members of the team all had different realizations. Naruto was white as a ghost 'I'm going to be naked..along with Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan, and Kurenai-sensei. Isn't this wrong?'

Sakura paled as well 'Naruto is going to see me...naked. Is that alright? Sure he's a girl now...but he still thinks like a guy'

Hinata on the other hand was bright red and sporting a slight nosebleed 'Oh Kami, I'm going to see Naruto...naked, I wonder what he...she looks like'

The three of them emerged from the changing rooms with towels clung tightly to their bodies. They walked over to the water, where Kurenai was already lounging, her generous bust sitting just below the cloudy water, for which Naruto was thankful of. "Come on in already" she said, motioning to the water.

Naruto took a deep breath and released her towel, allowing it to pull free and slide off of her curvaceous body. Both Sakura and Hinata's eyes bulged at the site of Naruto's nude body. Her generous bust jiggled ever so slightly with each deep breath she took, her light pink nipples protruding from her breasts in the warm steamy atmosphere.

Their stunned gazes trailed south over her well toned stomach to the trimmed patch of blond hair that was set just over the thin light pink lips of her sex.

'Kami...' Sakura thought, 'Naruto's a freaking bombshell!' Naruto looked at their stares nervously and slipped quickly into the cloudy, hiding her body from further scrutiny. She felt like she was on display!.

Sakura and Hinata glanced at each other nervously before letting their towels drop simaltaneously and they quickly jumped into the water. But Naruto got more than enough for a mental picture to be permanently burned into her mind.

Sakura's body was lithe and innocent, not very toned, but thin and agile, sexy. Her small A-cup breasts fit well with her small frame and the small triangle of pink hair between her thighs gave her an added air of maturity.

Hinata nearly cause her to get a nosebleed. The constant training with her team and family had earned her a much more toned body than Sakura's, though not quite as toned as Naruto's. Her stomach was smooth and pale, her modest B-cup breasts made her seem older than Sakura, and the stripe of dark blue hair that led to her sex did nothing to argue the point, but her innocent face instantly put those thoughts to rest.

Naruto couldn't believe how beautiful the two girls were, while stunning in each of their own rights, if you were to combine Sakura's mature face, and Hinata's more mature and toned body, you had one killer woman that gave Kurenai more than a run for her money.

After a few minutes of silence Kurenai spoke the break the ice. "Why don't we get to know each other even better?" she suggested "Share somethings about your past, your family, things like that. Why don't you go first again Naruto?" She offered.

Naruto fidgeted nervously "I-I'd rather not" she admitted "I don't like to think about my past"

Sakura cocked an eyebrow in question "Why not? Surely you've got to have some good stories to tell, what with all your pranks in the Academy"

Naruto frowned "I never really liked playing those pranks, I only did them to get attention from Iruka-sensei and the Hokage, bad attention is better than no attention. I don't honestly remember most of the pranks I pulled"

Kurenai sighed "Don't you have any good memories Naruto?"

Naruto looked down as tears slowly began to form in the corners of her eyes "I-I've never had any 'good times' being around you all has been the closest thing to friends I've ever had. I've been alone my whole life..." she trailed off, as tears began to stream down her face.

Sakura smiled faintly and tried to cheer her up in the worst way possible "What about your birthday? Surely you have some good memories from them"

It had the exact opposite effect of what she was looking for as Naruto shuddered slightly and more tears streamed. "I share my birthday with the celebration of the defeat of the Kyuubi. Mobs of villagers, and sometimes Shinobi hunt me down across the village and torture me for hours on end, leaving me hanging onto life with nothing but a thread on a yearly basis...not the best memories" she explained between hiccups of sadness.

The three women sat in stunned Silence, while Hinata had no clue why she was attacked, she was stunned no less. The other two were getting a glimpse of just how horrible Naruto's life as a Jinchuuriki has been.

Kurenai sighed deeply and attempted to change the subject "Sakura, why don't you tell us a little about you then?"

Sakura nodded slowly, still bewildered about Naruto's revelation "Okay...My dad died five years ago from an illness and I've been living with my mother since then. I'm an only child, my parents were trying for a boy but my mom miscarried just before my dad died. I'm the first Shinobi to come from my clan, we've always been merchants or business employees. My favorite color is red and I love anything fluffy....I can't really think of anything else"

Kurenai nodded, smiling at her favorite color "Okay, Hinata, how about you?"

Hinata took a deep breath and nodded "My mother died giving birth to my sister when I was six, ever since then my father has been pushing me to take on the title of clan head, even though I don't want it. My favorite color is lavender, and I like foxes...That's all I've got" she concluded.

Kurenai smiled "See? Now we know lots more about each other and can better understand one another"

Naruto pouted slightly after recently recovering from her minor breakdown "But, we didn't learn anything about you, Kurenai-sensei"

Kurenai sighed "Alright, fine. Unfortunately, both of my parents were killed in the Kyuubi's attack. I'm one of the few Kunoichi that have come out of the Yuuhi clan, and I'm pleased to say I am the most successful one. I'm Konoha's number one Genjutsu mistress as you're all aware of, and...I'm your sensei. As with Sakura, my favorite color is also red"

Naruto looked down at the mention of her parents "I-I'm sorry about your parent's Kurenai-sensei" she solumely said.

Kurenai glanced sideways to Hinata briefly "It's alright Naruto, the past is in the past and there is no one to blame for it. There is no reason to be sad either, they are in heaven, and when my time comes, I will be there alongside them"

Naruto nodded and slipped beneath the surface of the water for a moment to wash away the tear stains that now covered her face from earlier. "Man, this water feels great. I wish I could have come to the springs sooner"

Kurenai giggled "Well, enjoy it while you can, because tomorrow we begin training, and you and Sakura have lots to catch up on"

Naruto and Sakura nodded and set about relaxing as much as they could before tomorrow.
