AN: As always, Naruto does not belong to me but to Kishimoto. However, his 'brothers' and their abilities all belong to moi.
The Naruto Brothers
Chapter 4: Rivals
(An hour before Naruto meets with Nishi)
Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma were all in front of the Hokage along with other jounins in the Hokage Tower for a meeting.
"Ladies and Gentleman, we are here to hear the nominations for the chunnin exams." The Minato said, "I don't have to tell you this but after a genin has completed 8 missions, they can then be nominated for the chunnin exam by their sensei. Of course, completing more missions is the norm..." He added on as he explained what was required for the genins' entrance to the exams.
'That's obvious. Besides, they're not ready yet for this exam.' Iruka thought.
"Now, starting with Kakashi." The Yondaime said and Kakashi stepped forward.
"I, Hatake Kakashi, nominate Team 7, composed of Haruno Sakura, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke. All three have shown more than the required skills for this exam and I feel that they are more than ready." Kakashi said.
'What?' Iruka thought, shocked at was he was hearing.
"I, Yuhi Kurenai, nominate Hinata Hyuuga, Inuzuka Kiba, and Abarame Shino of my Team 8, into the chunnin exam." Kurenai said.
"And I, Sarutobi Asuma, will nominate my team 10 of Akimichi Chouji, Nara Shikamaru, and Yamanaka Ino, into the chuunin exam as well." Asuma said, finishing off the nominations.
"All of them? Rare, very rare." The Hokage said.
"Wait a second!" Iruka yelled out, catching the attention of everyone.
"What is it, Iruka?" Minato asked.
"Please Hokage-sama, let me have a word on this. I may be speaking out of line but these nine were students of mine at the academy. Of course, they are very talented but it's too early for them to take an exam. They need more experience and this is why I cannot disagree with the reasoning of the jounins" Iruka said.
"They don't. If we continue to shelter them like this by forcing them to take lame missions, then they will never become true shinobis and their growth will be stunted. What better way to truly test them as shinobis than by having them the chuunin exam. Besides, I was 6 years younger than Naruto when I took mine." Kakashi said.
"But Naruto is different from you!" Iruka said.
"No he is not and stop acting like he is! He is a shinobi of this village, like myself, and thus is more than ready to take on exams like these. Besides, these exams are nothing compared to the true world of a shinobi. I will say this only once, Iruka. These kids are not long your students, they are our soldiers now, and if we feel they are ready then they are, understood?" Kakashi said with a glare, shutting up Iruka.
"Besides Iruka-sensei, my son and his friends may be young but they have shown far more potential than any generation. In fact my son and his team just finished a C turned A-rank mission and defeated two out of three missing nins. That to me shows that they are more than ready to take the exam. Thus I will then accept the nominations of these three teams and now, we will move onto the nominations for the non-rookie teams." The Hokage said, continuing the meeting.
(30 minutes after Nishi and Naruto met)
"Guys, Kakashi-sensei wants to meet us at the bridge now." Sasuke said as he found his friends eating at Ichiraku.
"For what?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know, he just told us to meet him there." Sasuke said shrugging his shoulders.
"Alright then let's go." Naruto said.
He and his teammates arrived at the bridge where their sensei was waiting for them.
"It looks going out with Anko really was the best thing for you considering how late you used to be before." Naruto said snickering.
"Oh shut up." Kakashi barked at the young boy, blushing in embarrassment, "Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys that the Chunnin Exams are in a few days." Kakashi revealed to his students with a smile.
"The Chunnin Exams?" Sasuke and Naruto repeated.
"Kakashi-sensei, what are the chunnin exams?" Sakura asked.
"The chunnin exams are held every year to determine which genins have the capacity to become chunnins. It's basically the step to the next level for you guys and I've decided to sign you guys in." Kakashi said.
"Really?" The genins said with excited looks on their faces.
"Yep, all true. So, what do you think of your sensei now, pretty cool right?" Kakashi asked as he was expecting a compliment only for his comments to have been ignored by his students who were in their thoughts.
'Why are they so mean to me?' Kakashi cried mentally.
'A step to the next level, huh? I couldn't be happier.' Sasuke thought as he shook in anticipation.
'Another obstacle for me to overcome in order to be Hokage.' Naruto thought with a smirk.
'This is my chance to prove myself as a kunoichi!' Sakura thought, 'SHANNARO!" Inner Sakura yelled, joining in.
"So yeah, that's all I wanted to talk to you guys about. See ya tomorrow." Kakashi said as he then left the genin to themselves.
(Dream)
(Rock Village)
The location was an underground high-tech lab located in Rock Village. The Tsuchikage was walking alongside his assistant, who had long black hair in a ponytail, brown eyes, glasses and wearing a white uniform, in a long and dim-lit hallway. The Kage was dressed in the official brown/white uniform of the Tsuchikage, and was dark-skinned with yellow eyes and a goatee and had an impressive build. Behind the Tsuchikage was a large group of prisoners from the Rock Prison.
They finally got at the end of the hallway where there was a large steel door. One of the assistants opened the door, revealing a very large white room that lit, and inside the room was a young boy. The boy had wild blond hair, tattoos on each cheek (identical to Zell's tattoo from FFVIII), cerulean blue eyes, was well-built for someone his age and wore a black cloak with black gloves and black shoes.
"So what, all we have to do is kill this one kid and then we're free?" One of the prisoners asked.
"Precisely. Kill him and you're free." The Tsuchikage told him.
The prisoners all chuckled as they were led inside the room. They had each of their cuffs unlocked, allowing them easier movement.
"So Tsuchikage, are these my adversaries?" The boy asked in an emotionless tone.
"Yes they are Narou." The Kage answered.
"They do not look that impressive." The boy said as he looked at the prisoners.
"Oh yeah? Well you won't be thinking that way once we're through with you!" Said a very tall prisoner.
"Can I begin?" The boy asked the assistant, ignoring what the prisoner said.
"Yes you may Narou." The assistant said with a nod.
"Good." The boy said with a dark grin, "Kekkai Genkai: King of Darkness: Ghost." Narou then said as he stretched his right hand forward.
His body was engulfed by a black Kyuubi chakra, which frightened the prisoners. Then suddenly one by one, the prisoners were getting punched through the gut by an unknown force, leaving huge holes in their chest.
Some of the prisoners tried to get out of the room for fear of their lives, only to for the Kage and the assistant to close the door on them.
"LET US OUT OF HERE! PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE LET US OUT! ARRRGGGHHHH!" The prisoners then let out a blood-curling scream as they all were slaughtered.
"What was the prisoners' skill level?" The Kage asked.
"They were easily all B to A-class level sir." The assistant said
A grin then placed itself on the Tsuchikage's lips,
"Excellent. It seems that our plans for our revenge may come to fruition after all." He said.
(Sound Village)
In a dark cell was a young boy with unruly blond hair, whisker marks, blue eyes who wore a gray shirt with gray pants.
The boy was curled up in the corner of his cell as he was eating something, some type of meat. The boy then suddenly stopped eating as he heard footsteps coming.
"If it's a boy, I'll definitely kill him." The boy said in a demented tone as he was chuckling hysterically.
The footsteps stopped and then the room was opened by a young woman with long dark red hair, glasses, and wore a yellow shirt with a short black skirt and black sandals.
"It's time to come out Narumaru." The girl said.
"Oh it's you Karin-neechan!" The boy said with a wide smile as he stepped out of the room, all covered in blood.
"W…why are you covered in so much…" The girl trailed off
She then opened the small light hanging from the ceiling and to her horror, blood was literally everywhere, with dead half-eaten bodies littering the floor.
"Oh yeah, those guys tried to be mean to me but I showed them how strong I was tebayo! Though they don't really taste that well." The boy said innocently with a wide smile, which showed off his blood-littered teeth.
Karin then did what any normal human being would have done in this situation and threw up on the floor
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Karin-neechan threw up! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" The boy said laughing.
The girl wiped her mouth off and glared at the boy
"Stop laughing already and let's go." Karin growled as she got up back and started to walk.
"Where are we going nee-san?" Narumaru asked as he followed the girl.
"We're going to see the master." Karin answered.
"Yeah, we're going to see the master tebayo!" The young boy said jumping around.
"Stop jumping around already dobe!" Karin yelled at the boy.
(End dreams)
Naruto's eyes shot open as he woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.
'Those two…they're definitely psyches of mine but their aura was so evil, especially that Narumaru. But every time I had one of those dreams, I ended up facing them a few days after so does that mean I'll meet them in the chunnin exams? And if so, will I be able to defeat them?' Naruto thought.
So, this is the place for the chunnin exam, huh?" Sasuke said as he and the others arrived in front of the building, "Well guys, why don't we get this party started huh guys?" Sasuke said to his teammates with a wicked grin.
However his grin disappeared when he saw the look on Naruto's face. He saw that his friend was disturbed by something.
"Something up Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"I just didn't sleep well that's all." Naruto lied as he quickly grinned, "By the way, just don't get too overexcited Sasuke or you might get your ass kicked and not even become a chuunin." Naruto said to his teammate in order to divert the attention away from him.
"Don't even joke like that. Hell, there's no way I'm not going to become a chuunin." Sasuke replied.
"Is that so, Sasuke?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Damn right." Sasuke replied with a grin and the two boys stared at each other fiercely.
"KNOCK IT OFF AND LET'S GET MOVING, YOU DUMBASSES!" Sakura yelled as he struck both boys upside their heads with her fists, leaving huge bumps on their heads.
"Y…Yes ma'am." Both boys said weakly and Sakura nodded with a proud smile on her face.
A bowl-cut haired boy with black eyes and wearing an all green-fighting uniform with blue shoes and bandaged hands was on the ground as two ninjas were blocking the way into the room 301.
"You're planning to take the chunnin exam with that? Ha, you should just quit right now!" One of them smirked as he looked down at the bowl-cut haired boy
"Damn Lee, you're letting those guys kick you around like that?" Sasuke whistled as he and his team arrived on the floor.
"Another group of kids? Like I said to this guy, it's best if you..." The same guard from before began to say only to get backhanded by Sasuke.
"Shut up already, you're annoying." Sasuke growled. Sakura then smirked and did a seal and unraveled the genjutsu, changing the number of the room from 301 to 201.
"So you knew this was a genjutsu?" The other guard asked.
"Of course. A low-level genjutsu can never fool someone like me." Sakura said with an arrogant smirk.
"Not bad, kids, but that doesn't mean a thing!" The one that got knocked down by Sasuke yelled and then ran toward Sasuke, intending on settling the score. Sasuke smirked and prepared to unleash a snap kick when Lee stepped in the middle and blocked both attacks with each hand.
"Geez Lee, you're such buzzkill." Sasuke said, sighing as he withdrew his attack.
"Gomen, Sasuke-kun, but I do not think it would be wise to start fighting here and besides, you have a very nasty temper." Lee said to his training partner.
"Uchiha Sasuke. I'm surprised they let someone of your skill level participate." Neji said as he approached the group.
"Hyuuga Neji. It looks your ego is still more massive than all five elemental countries combined you son of a bitch." Sasuke glared at the white-eyed boy.
"What's up with them?" Sakura asked the girl, who had brown hair in buns, a light pink oriental shirt, blue pants, and blue shoes with her forehead protector on her forehead.
"These two are not really the best of friends, though I don't know why. It seems that as soon as they meet, it's like a fight is about to break out." The girl said, "By the way, my name is Ten-Ten and yours is?" Ten-Ten asked.
"My name is Haruno Sakura, nice to meet you." Sakura said and both girls smiled at each other and shook each other's hands.
"I just hope for your sake that you do not meet fight me in this exam, Sasuke. I would hate to crush you in front of her." Neji smirked.
"And I hope for your sake that you don't piss me off again during this exam or I'll make sure to ram my foot so far up your ass, you won't be able to walk for a year. Come on guys, let's go." Sasuke barked back before telling his teammates to leave.
"Hmm, let's go as well, Lee, Ten-Ten." Neji said and he started to walk, followed by Ten-Ten who noticed Lee standing there.
"Hey Lee c'mon. We're gonna be late." Ten-Ten said.
"You guys go ahead, I have something to check." Lee said and then started to walk the opposite way.
Team 7 were heading for where every genin were suppose to go to for the exam when Lee suddenly jumped from the top of the stairs and landed in front of them.
"Lee? What the hell are you doing, shouldn't you be with your team?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes but there is something I need to check first. I need to see how strong you have gotten Sasuke and also how strong I have gotten as well." Lee asked.
"Why and why now?" Sasuke asked in an annoyed tone. He didn't mind fighting Lee at all, it was just that this was a bad time.
"Because Neji has gotten even stronger than before and is half-way complete with creating his new fighting style." Lee replied sternly.
This caused shock to appear on Sasuke's face. Despite their training, they were still weaker than Neji and with the latter getting stronger, they probably would never be able to beat him.
"I see what you mean. Sakura, how much longer do we have until the exam officially begins?" Sasuke asked Sakura.
"Sasuke, we don't have time for…" Sakura began to say but was interrupted by Sasuke
"Just answer me. How long?" Sasuke asked.
"About ten minutes." Sakura answered as she looked down at her watch.
"That'll be perfect. We'll be done by then so no holding back, got it?" Sasuke asked Lee who nodded back.
Both Sasuke and Lee then started to rock their bodies back and forth and then dashed toward each other. Sasuke began with a left punch to the face but Lee grabbed it with his own left hand and then countered with a right back knuckle to the face, knocking Sasuke back about three meters. Lee then executed a lunging mid kick with his right leg but Sasuke evaded to his right and then countered with two quick punches to the face and then a back knuckle to the face, knocking Lee back about five meters.
Sasuke then continued his onslaught with a punch-punch left spin kick but Lee was able to block the first two punches and then grabbed the spin kick with his right hand and then countered with a kick to Sasuke's right leg using his right leg and then followed with a roundhouse kick to the jaw with his left leg, knocking Sasuke back about ten meters. Lee then disappeared and reappeared above Sasuke who was laying on the ground,
"Dragon Splitter!" Lee yelled as he brought his right leg down to finish off Sasuke but then Sasuke grabbed Lee's leg with his left hand and then brought his left leg up and smacked Lee in the face and then followed with a more powerful back knuckle to the stomach, knocking Lee back about fifteen meters.
"They're fighting so fast…it's not even a minute yet and they've landed so many attacks already." Sakura said in awe as she looked at her watch.
"Not only that but their offense and defense are impressive. They're able to attack and counter each so well." Naruto added on as he was also watching his teammate fight in awe, 'I knew Sasuke was good in taijutsu but never this good. He would definitely mop the floor with me in taijutsu.' Naruto added mentally.
Lee attacked with a backfist followed by a downward kick but Sasuke was able to avoid both and tried to counter but then Lee smirked and followed up at the last minute with a sweep, knocking Sasuke off his feet. Lee then followed then by putting his left hand on the ground and performing a rising kick, striking Sasuke under the chin and knocking him in mid-air.
"I've got you now! Konoha Senpuu!" Lee yelled as he then performed a mid-air spinning kick using his right leg but at the last minute, Sasuke was able to disappear and reappear on the ground, about eight meters back.
'He has improved his movement technique from last time.' Lee thought as he landed on the ground.
"Man Lee, we're having way too much fun but let's finish this, shall we?" Sasuke asked with a grin as he wiped the blood off his lips.
"No problem." Lee said with a smile.
Both fighters then dashed toward each other at high-speed as they both prepared for the final blow when suddenly, a large cloud of smoke appeared between them.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked.
When the smoke cleared, there was standing a reddish turtle with a headband around its neck. This caused everyone except for Lee to have a sweat drop behind their heads.
"What the fuck is this?" Sasuke asked only to get his right foot stomped by the turtle, making him yell in pain, "You little shit." Sasuke gritted through his teeth as he was in pain.
"That's what you get for being so rude and I came here to stop you idiots from using your strongest moves. Sasuke, you were planning on you the Dragon Knuckle on Lee and Lee, you were planning on using that forbidden technique on Sasuke, weren't you?" the turtle asked.
"What forbidden technique?" Sasuke asked.
"The Omote Renge." Lee replied.
"You mastered it? No way! That's awesome!" Sasuke exclaimed in surprise but also joy as his friend had mastered the technique.
"And because of your insolence, you gave me no choice to let him handle you all! Gai, you're up!" The turtle said and then a cloud of smoke appeared on top of it.
"Yo, you kids are the epitome of youth! My name is Gai, Maito Gai." Gai said and then gave a thumbs and a huge smile, and light hit off his teeth, giving it a ping.
"HOLY CRAP! IT'S A TALKING CATERPILLAR!" Naruto yelled as he was freaked out.
"I'm so scared, Naruto-kun." Sakura said shivering as she hid behind her boyfriend.
"Oh fuck me." Sasuke said as he knew the man.
"Now Lee, I usually would punish you right now for your disobedience but since you are taking the exams, I will not punish you so go out there and show them your taijutsu of hard work." Gai said and then gave his thumbs and smile again.
"Yes sir!" Lee said and then imitated his sensei. Gai then noticed Sasuke and his team and walked up to them.
"Oh my god, it's walking toward us." Sakura whispered in fright.
"Sasuke, it's nice to see you again and those must be members Kakashi's cell, which means Kakashi is also your sensei, right?" Gai asked.
"Yeah he is." Sasuke replied.
"You know that freak Sasuke?" Naruto whispered to the young Uchiha
"Unfortunately I do. He helped me train in taijutsu and while he may look and act weird, he's the best when it comes to taijutsu." Sasuke explained to his best friend.
"How do you know Kakashi-sensei, Gai-san?" Sakura asked.
"People call us eternal rivals. I have beaten Kakashi 51 times to 50." Gai said as he was right behind the three genins.
'He's fast, even faster than Kakashi.' Naruto said, shocked.
"Still fast as hell, huh Gai." Sasuke smirked.
"You see, Gai-sensei is the coolest." Lee said.
"Now, you children don't want to be late so go on ahead and Sasuke, give my regards to Kakashi would ya?' Gai asked the Uchiha as he told them to get going.
"Sure." Sasuke replied and Team 7 left.
They enter the room where everyone was and as soon as they did, Ino tried to glomp Sasuke, only for the latter to move out of the way to avoid her, making her fall to the ground. He then looked around and Hinata Hyuuga with her team and walked up to her.
"Hey Hinata. I didn't know you and your team we're going to take the exam." Sasuke smiled.
"Kurenai-sensei nominated us for the exam, Sasuke-kun." Hinata replied, blushing.
"It looks like everyone came to get killed. Mendoukse na." Shikamaru said as he sighed while Chouji was eating chips and Ino was trying to flirt with Sasuke but to no avail as the latter ignored her.
"Oh my god Shikamaru, you actually moved!" Naruto snickered as he saw the lazy pineapple-headed genin.
"I am going to kill you one of these days, you troublesome smart-ass." Shikamaru said as he glared at Naruto in annoyance.
During the academy, before the dreams started to disturb Naruto, the Yondaime's son had a reputation for being an S-class smart-ass and always got on people, especially Shikamaru.
"Now come on Shikamaru, I know you're lazy but there's no need to lie to my face like that." Naruto said which annoyed the Nara even more.
"So troublesome…" Shikamaru sighed in defeat.
"Looks like the gang is all here, this is gonna be fun." Kiba grinned.
"Hopefully you won't get beat up so easily like in the academy, Kiba." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"What did you say?" Kiba growled at Sasuke as he got up in his face and Akamaru barked, "I have gotten much stronger from that last time you beat me up." He added with a growl.
"Is that so dog-breath?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.
"Man, your rookies sure are noisy." A man with a white ponytail, glasses and wearing a purple suit with a white shirt underneath, purple pants, blue shoes, and black gloves said as he walked up to the rookies.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as he eyed the young man suspiciously
"I'm Kabuto, but instead of that, look behind you!" Kabuto said and all nine rookies did as instructed and saw three Hidden Rain shinobi glaring at them. "Those guys behind you are from the Hidden Rain, they have short tempers. Everyone is nervous about this exam, quiet down before you cause a scene. Well I can't blame you since you are clueless rookies. You remind me of how I used to be." Kabuto said.
"If you mean wearing glasses and acting all cheerful toward strangers, then no, sorry." Naruto replied.
'Smart-ass.' Kabuto thought.
"Ano, Kabuto-san? Is this your second time?" Hinata asked in a timid tone.
"Nope, my seventh time," Kabuto answered as he reached for his supply pouch.
"Wow you suck." Sasuke said bluntly
'Sasuke definitely needs to learn the art of tact.' Sakura thought as a sweatdrop appeared on the back of her head.
"And the reason why I have taken it this many times is because this exam is held twice a year so this is my fourth year and it is not an easy exam, kid." Kabuto said as he threw a glare at Sasuke.
"So you must know a lot about this exam, Kabuto-san" Sakura said.
"That's right," Kabuto said as he held up some strange looking cards. "Hehe, I'll share some info with you cute rookies with these Nin-info cards" He said with a grin, " These cards are a way of holding information. All I have to do is get what I want, and imprint it onto the card with chakra. Here's a demonstration." Kabuto said. He held up a blank card before placing it on the ground and sending a burst of chakra into the card, and then a map appeared.
"This map shows how many people are taking the exam and the countries they represent, see?" Kabuto explains.
"Do you have cards with info on individuals?" Sasuke asked with a hint of interest.
"Sure, are there some guys you're worried about?" asked Kabuto.
"Hyuuga Neji." Sasuke simply said.
"No problem." Kabuto said and then went through the same routine he did for the map and then Neji's data appeared on the card, "Let's see now. He has high taijutsu skills, high speed and power, decent at everything and has taken quite a bit of missions, mostly C-ranked, and B-ranked." Kabuto said as read off what was on the card.
"Thank you." Sasuke said as he now had info on his rival.
"Anyone else want to try?" Kabuto asked to the rookies.
"Sabaku No Nishi and Narou." Naruto answered.
"Let's see here." Kabuto said
He then performed his routine once more and then Nishi's data appeared on the card,
"Sabaku No Nishi. High taijutsu, and ninjutsu skills. Also has ridiculous speed, power, and has even taken 5 B-ranked missions and 3 A-class ranked missions." Kabuto said as he read off the data.
He then did the same for Narou and his eyes widened upon seeing the card,
"Narou from Iwakagure. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu are off the charts and he has taken 10 S-ranked missions."
Everyone gasped at the information while Naruto frowned and clenched his fists.
"YAHOO!" A voice yelled.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the yell and it was Nishi, as he stood on a table.
"What are you doing Nishi-baka? Get off the table!" Temari yelled.
"Don't worry Temari-chan, I got this!" Nishi said with a grin before turning to face at the rest of the shinobi, "The name's Sabaku No Nishi bitches, and I'm here to tell you that all of your asses will get personally kicked by yours truly. So if you want to quit now go right on ahead…but if you want to stay then know you're going to get seriously burned." Nishi threatened everyone, finishing off with a wicked grin and a flaming right hand.
Everyone gasped and trembled until a laugh broke the silence. Everyone's eyes turned to Narou, who was standing near the far right corner of the room by himself.
"What's so funny?" Nishi asked with a glare.
"I'm just sad that a life can't back up ambitions with talent. Someone like you who is lacking in strength makes me sad." Narou said in a nonchalant and confident way.
'So he is here, like I expected.' Naruto thought.
"You got balls talking to me like that. But let's see if you can walk the walk motherfucker." Nishi said with a middle finger.
'Why do those guys look like Naruto?' Nearly all of the genins of the Leaf asked.
"It doesn't matter what both of you think or say because in the end, all of you will be crushed by me, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, son of the Yondaime Hokage." Naruto said coldly, leaking out killer intent that scared most people.
But what surprised the other Narutos were the crimson eyes that Naruto had, as it meant that he was tapping a bit into Ichi's chakra. Nishi and Narou grinned and also tapped into their Kyuubi chakra, Nishi's eyes turning fiery orange and Narou's turning black as they stared at each other and intimidating everyone.
'I never knew Naruto could be so intense. Is it because of those other two?' Sasuke thought as all he could do was stare at his best friend.
Something then happened to break the tension. Smoke suddenly appeared and then a group of chunnin examiners were staying behind a tall chunnin with scars on his face, a cap on his head tied by his headband, a black trenchcoat, gray shirt, and black pants and black gloves.
"Sorry for making you wait. My name is Morino Ibiki and I'm the proctor for the 1st part of the chunnin selection exam." Ibiki said with a grin.
