Hello again guys. Hope you are ready for this chapter. I know this one is not nearly as long, and I apologize, but the next one will be long I swear. Lol. I have a few shout outs to do, so first up to my reviewer:

redcoverpaint: You can tots spell her name that way lol. Thank you for liking what I'm doing with her character. Idk I just was like Boruto had Shikadai so why not let Sarada have Chocho, since they were the only two girls that appeared in the last chapter other than Himawari, but she's too young still haha. And I totally agree, I actually like KaruixChoji, but like you said it was tots unexpected. Their child together is precious though. Thank you for supporting me and following this story!

Next up thank you to the following that have followed/favorited this story: darkslayer1407, kattylin, again redcoverpaint, 1, fina5, and alycya. Btw, sorry kittaylor524 for misspelling your username in the last chapter when I was giving my thanks to you. I did not mean for that to happen, so I fixed it here!

Anyway that's that, please continue to support me by revewing, favoriting, and following, and until the next chapter where stuff get really juicy!

Disclaimer: Wish I owned it, but I will never own Naruto!

The new generation is slowly but surely begining. Potential jonin leaders are eager, depressed, and overall curious to see if they are granted a worthy team…

"Therefore the leaders that Hokage-sama is considering as of now is Konohamaru Sarutobi, Mirai Sarutobi, Hikari Kurama, Kiyoshi-"

Konohamaru began to tune out Shikamaru Nara as he stared at the ground. Mirai smiled brightly, obviously happy that she was and is even considered for such a task being younger than the other jonin being called out. She looked over at her cousin. Her face fell.

Konohamaru?

Shikamaru sighed in irritation.

"Now that that is over with go on about your day and thank you for your time."

All the shinobi nodded their heads as they began to scatter. The only two who remained was Konohamaru and Mirai Sarutobi. Shikamaru raised a brow.

"Problem you two?"

Konohamaru still stared at the floor. Mirai smiled.

"Uh. No. No Shikamaru sensei. Everything is fine, right Kono-"

"Shikamaru-san, what is Naruto-niisan up to?"

Shikamaru scratched his head.

"So say Boruto, Sarada and Tai could be in a squad."

"Does that make sense Naruto-sama? I mean Tai is taijutsu oriented and your kid and Sarada specialize more so in ninjustu and genjutsu."

Naruto slumped in his hand.

"Well, that is true."

"I feel as though this would actually be easier if we got everyone's test results Dobe."

Shikamaru grunted from Sasuke Uchiha's namecalling, but nodded. Naruto leaned back in his chair, slurping up his ramen.

"True, but we know for sure who is in Team Mirai though right?"

"Well yeah." Shikamaru smirked. Sasuke shook his head.

"Funny how Mirai's sensei will end up becoming Shikadai's sensei."

Naruto grinned.

"I may have been influenced. Besides I know for sure I'm putting Boruto on Team Konohamaru. He's the only one that knows my kid enough to know what works, and what won't for him."

All three males nodded.

"But you think my princess will be going on the same team…"

Naruto nodded.

"I have a feeling that them together would be best."

Shikamaru frowned.

"I dunno Naruto-sama, Sarada doesn't take to well with Boruto."

"Yeah well neither did Teme and I, but look at us now."

Shikamaru's frown deepened.

"Yeah, two hardheaded fools who both got their arms blasted off."

"Hn."

Naruto pouted.

"Shikamaru-kun!"

Shikamaru lazily shrugged.

Konohamaru slumped.

"You're just saying that, you know exactly what he's up to. Is Boruto going to be put in my team? The kid is a handful!"

Shikamaru smirked.

"You'll know when the final is over."

Mirai's eyes twinkled.

"I get to be like Mama and Papa. They're going to be so proud of me when I tell them I am going to be genin's sensei! Konohamaru let's go to the graveyard right now to tell Papa!"

Konohamaru grunted.

"I was supposed to go do something with Moegi and Udon…"

"Nonesense! We are going to grandfather's and your uncle's grave first to relay these news!"

Mirai grabbed her protesting cousin while waving at her old sensei.

Shikamaru smirked.

Hey Asuma sensei. We did well. The king is still being protected and taught.

Snakes are interesting creatures, shedding when they want to reinvent themselves and such. But is this snake truly reinventing himself or has it fallen back into his old ways?

Orochimaru licked his lips as he watched the empty green tank of fluid.

"Suigetsu. Karin. Juugo. Kabuto."

All four shinobi appeared in front of their lord. Suigetsu shivered slightly from the freaky man's raspy voice.

"All of my work… all of my precious work. The shear reason I have fathomed this existence will become futile if I die."

Kabuto pushed his glasses up.

"But Orochimaru-sama, you are not in that predicament any longer."

The man licked his lips, making Suigetsu once again shiver. Karin fixed her glasses.

"Stop it Suigetsu."

"I can't help it. He's still scary…"

Orochimaru let out a dry creepy laugh.

"I think it is time that we pay a visit to an old friend."

The four shinobi stared at the lord in confusion.

"I am getting old now, I won't have much time. We will begin our research again."

Suigetsu, Karin, and Juugo froze. Kabuto once again pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"And who you are talking about Orochimaru-sama. Is it who I think it is."

"He has a daughter now."

Karin's eyes widened.

"Sasuke-kun… SASUKE-KUN! YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SASUKE-KUN."

"Karin. Sit." Kabuto calmly said. Suigetsu snickered.

"After all these years, you'd think you'd get over your infatuation. But I guess that will never happen."

Karin growled before punching the man.

"Sh-sh-shut up! Yo-you don't know what you're talking about."

Juugo stared at the two people before returning his gae back to Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-sama, you want us to bring Sasuke-kun back? What will you do with him."

Orochimaru grabbed a scroll.

"Hand this to him."

He handed Kabuto the scroll before sitting back down to watch the green fluid again.

"Tell him, it's actually a message for the Hokage."

The four ninja felt chills down their spine as Orochimaru growled.

"Now go."

"Of course Orochimaru-sama."

The Finals are looking good so far. At least for the other students. But will a certain Uzumaki be able to pass the curve?

Chocho Akimichi stared at the door of the testing room with her hands on her hips waiting to be told to enter. Shino Aburame had walked inside and told her to wait outside while they made preparations for her. She glared at the door as her stomach growled.

Oohhh Aburame-sensei I am going to beat your ass for making me wait out here all hungry and stuff.

Shino looked at the kunoichi next to him.

"Tenten-san, thank you for helping me with this, that's because no one else wanted to help."

Tenten sat leaning into her hand twirling a pen around her fingers.

"Mhm. No problem Shino-kun."

She sighed.

"It's not as if I had anything else to do."

It had been a long time since the Fourth Great Ninja War, seeing as her friends' kids were, well most of them, around eleven-twelve years old now. The kunoichi just couldn't believe it had been so long ago. It almost seemed like the event happened yesterday. Okay maybe not yesterday but Tenten was feeling nostalgic.

"My shop hasn't really been doing well y'know."

Shino nodded in understanding.

"You took a look at the young Akimchi's profile right?"

Tenten nodded.

"Of course!"

"Good, because now we can begin. Chocho, you may enter."

The door opened with a bang.

"About time! My belly was getting mad at me Aburame sensei. Y'know I gotta eat at all hours!"

Tenten paled and Shino sighed.

"Let's get this over with, it's because-"

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Chocho stood with her arms crossed as did the perfect clone she had created. Both said in unison.

"May we go eat now?"

Tenten smiled. Shino put a check next to the girl's name.

"You've passed, it's because that was well performed.

"Good job Chocho. Oh and tell your father I said hello."

Chocho dismissed her clone and waved off Tenten.

"Whatever, if it's not about food I don't remember nothing!"

Tenten glared at the girl.

"I'm going to-"

"Please don't, it's because she's always like that. Chocho go get Kazumi Amami please. The fact is, she's next. Oh and Anko-san is waiting for you outside, to go eat. Now run along, the test needs to continue."

Chocho lit up.

"Of course Aburame-sensei" She said in the sweetest voice ever because Anko sensei was already waiting for her, she casually walked into her class called- well yelled at the next student up, and was on her way. Boruto slumped on his desk.

"Shikadai. As your best friend, please stay outside and wait for me after you're finished."

Shikadai groaned.

"Fine, but I'll be sleep."

Shikadai Nara stuffed his hands in his pocket as he reluctantly made his way to the room.

"Stupid test."

He leaned up against the wall already almost passing out until he heard his name being called from the inside. Sighing in irritation he opened the door, stuffing his hands back in his pockets. Tenten stared at the young Nara.

"Wow you look so much like Shikamaru-san, but also like… Temari…"

Tenten gritted her teeth as she remembered the sand kunoichi and her fight in the chunin exams. She still didn't get her rematch with her. Shikadai just rolled his eyes.

"That is between you and Kaa-san. Do not lump me with your mess. That's annoying y'know."

Tenten gaped at the boy.

Nevermind. Most likely just Shikamaru's kid.

Shino smiled as he knew Tenten now understood what the man meant by Shikadai, though blunt in nature like his mother was much more like his genius father. The kid had an amazing brain, as most of the Nara did, but just like Shikamaru when he was much younger, he rarely lived up to his potential. Shino knew that if Shikadai wasn't as lazy as he was, he would easily be battling for first in the class- not Sarada or Inojin- or at least be second and not fifth in the class overall.

"Begin."

Shikadai sighed.

"Welp, no way to get out of this I presume. Shadow clone jutsu."

Tenten slumped in her chair. She looked over the rest of the children's files. So far everyone had passed. She pushed them away from her. This was the most work she had been put through in a long time and it was just sitting in a chair watching kids do all the dirty work. She kind of wished she had tole Shino she couldn't help him now.

"How many more!"

"A lot."

Was the answer Shino gave to Tenten.

"Enter Tai. Because you are next."

A young boy with the same attire as none other than Lee stepped into the room, except he wore a tanish jacket. He bowed greeting the sensei's.

"Hello Aburame sensei! Tenten sensei!"

Tenten smiled. Shino's eyes twitched. He sighed in defeat. What was he going to do with this kid? Tai took off the jacket and placed it near him.

"I cannot give you the same test, for you are not able to do genjutsu or ninjutsu."

The boy bit his lip, but nodded fearful of what his sensei would say next. However, Tenten was the one to speak up while she walked over to the boy.

"But you can do taijutsu so show me what you got."

Tenten gasped for air as she walked back to her seat. Shino merely checked next to Tai's name.

"You've passed because you excel in taijutsu just like your father, now send up Jin Sakamoto."

Tai started to cry.

"Thank you so much Shino sensei and Tenten sensei for passing me. My father will be so proud." The boy wailed as he ran out the room forgetting the jacket his mother had given him since it was colder in Konoha in autumn months. Shino stood up and picked it up debating on whether he should give it back to Tai. Tenten shook her head after chugging down some water.

"Just dispose of it, it's not like he'll want to wear it again." Shino nodded.

"Enter Sarada Uchiha."

"O-okay."

The young Uchiha stepped inside the test room a little nervously. She played with the hem of her red dress, but stopped and straightened up.

Papa would never do that. He would just excel.

"Proceed when you are ready."

She nodded and breathed out.

I have to make Papa proud.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu."

A perfect look alike stood next to Sarada. She smiled in triump.

Shaanaro! Look at that beautiful princess!

Shino smiled at the girl.

"Perfect Sarada. It is because you did an exceptional job."

Tenten grinned.

"You are your mother and father's child."

The woman checked off by Sarada's name. Sarada's grin spread over her entire face.

Hell Yeah!

"Sarada, could you please bring in Boruto."

She nodded before walking with a triumphant smirk on her face out the room.

She walked to the classroom finding Boruto staring out the window. He was shaking a little. Sarad's prideful smirk, turned into a slight frown.

Boruto.

"Hey. Uzumaki."

The blonde headed boy whipped around slipping and falling on his butt. Sarada just rolled her eyes.

"You're such an idiot, but whatever. It's your turn."

Boruto quickly stood up straight and darted towards the door, however the Uchiha stopped im. She was blushing.

Well that's new…

"You'll- You'll do fine. He believes in you."

Boruto's eyes widened as a smile enveloped his face. He patted Sarada's head, who then gave him a disgusted look.

"Don't touch me."

"Thanks Sarada! I owe you dattebasa!"

Boruto's hands felt clamy and his head was spinning. Aburame sensei just called him to enter, or had five minutes gone by already? The Uzumaki didn't really know, but what he did know was that he should probably go visit Auntie Sakura at the hospital to check on his heart rate. It should not be going so fast… He shook his head and opened the door. A scared boy walked into the testing room and stood before Shino Aburame and Tenten. They both nodded.

"Begin."

I know Inojin, didn't do his, because I was going in order but realied that Uumaki (U) comes before Yamanaka(Y) so just bear with me and conclude that he passed. And did anyone see what I did with Thhe young fellow who follows Lee's ways? Yay? Nay? I know not the best name but I thought it would fit him... No? okay. at least I tried. Anyway.

Stay tuned for Chapter 3: And the turmoil begins. I have no idea when this will be uploaded since I am going back to school and stuff but please bear with me, the same goes for my SakuraxSasuke fic "Staying Alive." Antyways.

BYE GUYSSS!
