Ibiki Morino didn't look any different than the last time Sakura saw him.

Scarred face, and clothed in black.

Also, screaming like a hyena.

"All of you will sit down at an assigned seat, anyone fighting will be failed imeadiatly!" yelled Ibiki.

"And if you-" Scream Scream Scream.

"I'll make sure-" Yell Yell Yell.

He explained the rulse of the first test, and the room went quite.

Finally he sat down, and looked throughout the room.

Sakura, already knew what the whole point of the test was, so she didn't even bother filling out the test.

But she got bored, and decided to do the test for fun. She finished the test.

Sakura looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Sasuke writing down the exact same thing as the person infront of him.

At least twenty-three teams were forced to leave the room.

Ibiki stood up and hour later and began the tenth question which was, "The tenth question is wheather or not you want to take it or not?"

A lot of "Huh's?" went around the room. Ibiki explained if you got it wrong you would never be able to take the chunin exams again.

Six more teams left after that one. After ten minutes past Ibiki said, "Everyone in this room...passes."

More "Huh's?" went around the room again.

Ibiki explained what the first part of the test was for, and then why the tenth question.

"To see if you could handle the stress, or not. Now for the...!" Ibiki stopped.

The glass window next to him was broke into and a banner was hung infront of him.

"O.K. you maggots follow me to the next part of the Chunin Exams!" shouted Anko.


Anko led the rest of the remaining teams the Training Ground 44.

For you lovely idiots reading, The Forest of Death.

Anko explained how your team would recicve either a Heaven or Earth Scroll, and in the Forest you would have to take the oppostie scroll from the other team. Then meet in the middle of the Forest, and wait further instructions.

If one of your teamates didn't make it or you did not get both scrolls, you and your team will fail.

The teams got there scrolls and went to seperate gates each.

One Chunin opened the gate for Team 7, and they entered into the Forest.

"I'll take the scroll." said Sakura.

"No." repiled Sasuke.

"Sasuke no one would expect the girl to have hold of the scroll, so I should hold onto it." explained Sakura evilly.

She knew this would some how alter the future, and Sakura knew Naruto would side with her.

"Yeah! Sakura-chan's right. She should have the scroll teme!" agreed Naruto.

Sasuke avoiding team conflict handed over the scroll to Sakura.

Sakura smiled at Sasuke's glaring face.

"Uhh...I got take a leak." whined Naruto.

He turned away from his team and unzipped his fly.

Sakura normally would have hit him on the head and told him to go behind a tree.

But she knew, yet again, that an attack would have likely happend.

"Naruto shouldn't you go behind the bushes, for Sakura's sake." said Sasuke.

Sasuke was trying to keep the past the same again. Sakura still couldn't help the blush that swept across her face. Sasuke almost sounded nice.

Sasuke saying that even though she knew it was just to keep the past the same.

Sakura recovered and said, "No, Naruto stay here an enemy might come while you're gone and attack."

"Oh..." and Naruto did his bussiness.

Team 7 walked on with out any incident, Sakura guessd they were at least 1/4 of the way there.

Sasuke turned first, then Sakura, lastly Naruto.

A huge wind controlled by chakra, seperated the Team.

All thrown in different directions.


Sasuke found Sakura first, holding up his kunai, "How do I know your Sakura?"

Sakura smiled, "The Ninkki."

Sasuke actually felt a twinge of regret. He remebered, the poem the first time he was in the Forest.

"Let's find Naruto." Sasuke turned around and Sakura followed.

Naruto soon emerged from a cluster of trees.

"How do we know your Naruto?" asked Sakura.

Naruto smiled, "The Ninkki."

Sakura ran and punched the fake Naruto into a tree.

"Sakura-chan...what the hell?!" screamed Naruto.

"Your not Naruto!" yelled Sakura.

"Good job, little girl." said Naruto in a deep voice.

A cloud of smoke engulfed him and out came Orochimaru disguised as a Grass-nin.

"So...who has the scroll...?" he hissed.

Sasuke charged at Orochimaru, and they fought for a while with Sakura watching.

'This isn't doing anything.' thought Sakura.

She decided to join in the fight. She to attacked and dodged next to Sasuke.

"Sakura! Stay back! Find Naruto." scolded Sasuke.

"We already know he's fine, Sasuke!" yelled Sakura.

"Your not strong enough." insulted Sasuke.

"You've never seen me fight. Distract him." grinned Sakura.

Sasuke did almost instantly. Sakura applied chakra to her fist and punched the Sannin square in the face.

He flew back a good thirty yards.

Sasuke stared, "Who taught you that?"

"Tsunade, the Legendary Sannin." she repiled.

Orochimaru came back his jaw broken, and swollen.

"Little bitch," he spat, "Tsunade couldn't have taught you that she hasn't been in Konoha for years."

"Neither has long tounged freaks who look like girls." smiled Sakura.

Orochimaru snarled, and started running at Sasuke and Sakura.

Five shuriken lodged into the tree infont of Orochimaru's feet.

Everyone turned to look up at Naruto who was coverd in some nasty slime.

"So you got past my snake, eh." said Orochimaru.

"Yeah, me and my team are going to kick your ass!" screamed Naruto.

"Right." drawled Orochimaru.

Orochimaru did a few handseals, that Sakura and Sasuke recognized.

Sakura stopped Orochimaru, by punching him in the stomache.

"Sakura!" yelled Sasuke. He was angry that Sakura was trying to stop Sasuke from getting the Curse Mark.

Sakura continued to beat Orochimaru into a bloody plup, out of anger that Sasuke would still want to leave.

"You don't get it Sasuke! If Itachi got strong here why can't you?!" she yelled giving a final punch of chakra to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had atleast two cracked ribs, blacken eye, and his whole jaw broken.

Sakura jumped back to Sasuke and Naruto never letting her eye's off Orochimaru.

Naruto stood up and made one handseal.

The three Genin were paralyzed by Orochimaru's jutsu.

Orochimaru stood up and glared at them his mask of the grass-nin sliding off his face revealing his ugly face.

"That was very good Sakura-chan." Orochimaru's voice was off because of his broken jaw.

Sakura said nothing but glare.

Orochimaru finished his hand seal's and his neck grew long stretching out toward Sasuke.

Sakura made her chakra break the seal of paralysis on her and jumped infront of Sasuke.

"Sakura!" screamed Naruto and Sasuke.

"You fucking idiot." yelled Sasuke.

Orochimaru had bitten her which would now change the whole future of Team 7.

Orochimaru's neck returned, and he was panting out of lose of chakra.

"Little bitch," he seethed, "You'll regret that. I'll be back Sasuke-kun."

The paralysis left Team 7 and they could move freely now.

Sakura was down on her knee's screaming in pain, clutching the right side of her neck.

Three black commas appeared on her neck.

"Sakura-chan!" shouted Naruto.

Naruto grabbed her hand and she took it gratefully.

Sasuke somehow couldn't bring himself to be angry. Sakura was on the ground crying in pain, just to stop what he was trying to do.

So he kneeled on the other side of her, and caught her when she fell unconciousis.
