AN/ Hey there everyone. I wrote this on the same day as the first chapter but waited to see if people even liked the first chapter. Since its here I guess you guys liked the first one. So here's the second one. Hope you like this one too.

To Liz: Don't worry. I plan to have a way for Sakura to counter-act his mark. Its gonna be revealed later on. I'm doing that for two reasons. 1, can't let Naruto have to much control over Sakura. And 2, it'll be kinda funny. How? You're gonna have to wait to find out.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…..but I'm thinking of going for it……just thinking.

Chapter 2: The Exams and a Secret

Seconds after his little 'chat' with Kyuubi-sama, Naruto was seen dashing through Konaha, not caring he was showing off more speed than he was supposed to since he was late. If he didn't make it to this exam, he would have to repeat the year, again.

Two minutes later, he was in front of the academy. He burst through the classroom doors, just as they were about to announce the 'rookie of the year.' He looked around the room searching for his future 'mate.' And there she was, drooling over Sasuke. He sighed inwardly

'Why couldn't Kyuubi-sama have chosen someone else? The only thing I like about her is her body. But I have no choice; I have to listen to Kyuubi-sama.' He thought as he walked into the classroom, ignoring the stares and glares from the students.

Sakura had a slender and athletic body, with a decent bust and a nice but firm ass. She also had long, bubble gum pink hair, and green eyes that resembled emeralds. She wore a red sleeveless shirt, and blue spandex short shorts with a red open sided mini skirt over them. Naruto couldn't help but stare at her silk-like skin and think, 'Well, I think maybe it won't be so bad to have her as my mate.'

Sakura noticed Naruto was staring at her, so she glared at him, but he didn't seem affected as he glared right back at her. She was terrified when he glared back. She could have sworn that his eyes turned blood red with slits every couple of seconds, and then he smirked. The way he was looking at her sent shivers down her spine, it looked so evil.

'What's going on? Since when is Naruto-kun so scary?' She thought.

'I don't know, and I don't want to find out.' Said inner Sakura. Sakura mentally agreed.

Naruto noticed the shiver of fear from Sakura and smirked even more. Then he noticed she wasn't the only one who saw his eyes as Shikamaru, Shino, and Kiba were all frozen in their seats. He quickly turned off Kyuubi-sama's chakra to prevent any more people from noticing, like one of the teachers. Then he heard one of his teachers start to talk to him.

"Nice of you to join us, Naruto. Where were you? You missed the Graduation Exam." Spoke his sensei, Mizuki. He had long silver hair and was dressed in the normal chuunin outfit of dark blue pants and dark blue long sleeve shirt, plus a green vest.

When Naruto heard he missed the Graduation Exam, he started to protest.

"Come on, Mizuki-sensei. Let me take it. I bet I can do anything you tell me to do, any Jutsu you ask me to do, however you want it." Naruto stated, confidently. He really didn't want to repeat the year, a fourth time.

"No. I'm sorry, Naruto, but if you wanted to graduate so badly, you should have come on time." Said Mizuki.

"Let's give him a chance, Mizuki. I've never seen him so excited for an exam. Let's see if he can win his little wager." Iruka, Naruto's other sensei, said, smiling. He was wearing the same clothes as Mizuki. He had a scar across his nose and his long brown hair was in a small ponytail. He smiled warmly at Naruto and turned to Mizuki.

Mizuki shook his head. "I'm sorry, Naruto, but we can't let you become a ninja if you're late to something as important as this. What if this had been a mission? You think they would wait for you all day? No, if you're not on time, you get left behind." Stated Mizuki.

"That's bullshit!" Yelled Naruto. "I heard about one Jonin who's always late, and he never gets left behind. Why can't I just get this one chance to be late?" He asked. By the end, he was getting so mad he was almost unconsciously calling for Kyuubi-sama's chakra.

"….." Mizuki was at a loss for words. He didn't expect Naruto to know about Kakashi. 'Damn Demon. Must be spying on the village.' He thought.

"You know, he's got a point there. There's nothing we can do except let him try." Said Iruka.

Naruto was ecstatic, or so it looked to everyone in the room. 'Good thing I've been spying on the village for a while now.' He thought as he inwardly chuckled. When Mizuki finally agreed, he threw on one of those fake smiles and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand.

"Alright, Naruto, do a Henge."

"Easy." He said before he yelled "Henge no Jutsu!" There was a poof of smoke and when it cleared, Naruto looked like the Third Hokage. Another poof later, and there was Naruto, smiling, waiting for the next Jutsu.

Mizuki was a little angry that the 'Demon' was acting like it was so easy, it bored him.

"Okay, Naruto, now use Kiwamari to dodge this kunai, alright?" said Mizuki as he got a kunai ready to throw. "I'm going to throw it on three, okay?" Mizuki aimed the kunai, hoping to end this in one quick blow. "Ready? One, tw-" He threw the kunai which got lodged in Naruto's head. Everyone gasped, some of the girls covering their mouths in horror, while the boys just went wide eyed.

"Naruto!" yelled Sakura, standing up, tears in her eyes. She may act like she hates Naruto, but he was still one of - if not, the first friend she ever had. He had saved her from some bullies several times when they was younger, and they had even hung out for a while. He had been her first crush, her first love, and her first heart break.

She had tried to hang out with him, during her third year at the academy, but he'd just ditch her, or ask to be alone. One time, he told her to stop bugging him all the time. She'd gone home and cried for a couple of hours after that, until she decided she wouldn't dwell on him forever and move on.

She never did get over him, though. Inside she still loves him, but pretends to like Sasuke, to try to ignore the pain, and in hopes that he'd either like her back, or she might forget about him, entirely. It was her biggest secret, one she had never told anyone, not even Ino, her best friend. But seeing him killed by her teacher made her lose all control, she was about to breakdown and cry right there, not caring if people saw her.

That is, until the 'Naruto' on the ground poofed away, revealing a log with a smiley face pained on.

'Huh? Where'd he go?' She thought, movingto wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

Mizuki saw 'Naruto' poof to reveal a log, and instantly became angry. 'Where is that Demon? How did he know I was going to throw the kunai before 'three'?' Just then, he heard a low voice behind him, near his ear.

"You know, Mizuki-sensei, that was a dirty trick you tried to pull. Lucky for me, I saw the look of pure hatred in your eyes, so I knew you would throw the kunai earlier than 'three.'" It said, whispering.

Mizuki recognized the voice. It was the 'demon's' voice. He felt something on his neck and noticed he had a cut and a kunai was held there. 'How did he get behind me without me noticing?' Mizuki thought franticly. Then, Naruto continued to whisper in his ear, in a low deadly voice, so only Mizuki hear him.

"You know, I could kill you right now, but since there so many people here, and I need you alive to be able to become a genin, I won't." He said, pushing the kunai in a little deeper before pushing a pressure point on his neck as he got off of Mizuki's back, making the chuunin he fall unconscious.

"Do I pass that part, Iruka-sensei?" He asked Iruka in his normal voice, grinning like an idiot.

Iruka just looked at him for a minute, amazed. 'How did he do that? First he dodged the kunai on time, thank god for that. Then he snuck behind Mizuki, without anyone noticing, and knocked him out.' He thought, until he registered Naruto's question. "Huh? Oh! Yes. You pass that part." He said once he had recovered from his shock. "Just, how did you do that?" He asked.

"Do what?" Naruto said, feigning innocence.

"What do you mean 'do what?' How did you dodge and then get behind Mizuki, without anyone noticing, and knock him out?" said Iruka, the rest of the class leaning in to listen to his answer, since they, too, were interested how the 'dead last' knocked out a chuunin.

'How did the dobe knock out Mizuki-sensei without me being able to see him do it?' Thought a certain dark haired Uchiha, fuming. Was he that weak that he couldn't even keep track of the dead last? 'Damn! I need to train harder if I can't even keep up with the dobe!'

'Yes, he's alive!' Thought a certain pink haired, green eyed soon-to-be-mate, happily.

'Well, what did you expect? He was beating up academy students when he was only, like, six or seven years old. Did you really think he'd be killed be a simple kunai?' asked her inner self, even though she too had been worried.

'You're right. I shouldn't have overrea - wait a second. He made me worry for nothing. That asshole! I'm going to kill him!' she thought, seemingly forgetting her worry.

'Damn. How am I going to expla-I got it!' thought Naruto. "Oh that?" Iruka nodded. "You see, um…. I don't really know." He lied. Everyone fell back.

"What do you mean, you don't really know!?" screamed Iruka.

"Eheheh. Yeah… well...One second, I was over there," he pointed to were he was before. "And the next, I was over here, and Mizuki-sensei was on the ground." He said, smiling sheepishly and scratching the back of his head.

Everyone was shocked. He didn't even know how he knocked out a chuunin.

'Hmph. I knew that there was know way he could do something without me noticing. It was just a fluke.' Thought Sasuke.

After Iruka recovered he decided to have Naruto finish up the exam. "Okay then. Let's continue with the exam, shall we?" he asked and Naruto nodded. "Now, for the final part, you must make at least three Bushin." He finished.

'Heh. Too easy. Hey, Kyuubi-sama, can I use Kage Bushin?' Naruto mentally asked.

"Sure, why not? Also, ask who made the most, and how many. Then, do double.' It answered.

'Okay, and thanks.' Naruto knew it should be an easy task, seeing as how most of the class had below genin level chakra reserves. "Alright. Hey who made the most?" Naruto asked, false curiosity on his face.

"Uh, Sasuke." Answered Iruka, as most of the girls turned to admire the Uchiha.

"How many did he make?" Naruto couldn't wait to outshine the Uchiha, for, despite the Kyuubi's best attempts, Naruto's prankster self was still there, though only a little.

"Um, fifteen. Why do you ask?" Iruka asked, wondering why he would want to know that, while the girls just admired him even more, and Sasuke smirked at his accomplishment.

"No reason. Just seeing how many I have to beat." Naruto said, feeling slightly disappointed at the low number.

The class burst into laughter. Shouts of, 'Yeah right,' and, 'As if,' were heard amidst the laughter. After they calmed down, Naruto asked one final question.

"Hey, Iruka-sensei, can I do another version of the Bushin?"

"Um, sure. What are you planning to do?" asked Iruka, wondering what other form of Bushin Naruto would know.

"Oh, you'll see." He smirked as he put his hands in front of him with the index and middle fingers out over each other, to form a T. "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" He yelled.

To say that Iruka was surprised would be an understatement. 'How can he do that?! That's a forbidden Jutsu!' He thought frantically as smoke filled the room. When it cleared, there stood thirty perfect clones of Naruto.

Everyone was shocked, again. The 'dead-last' just made thirty perfect Bushin. Then the Bushin did something they all thought was impossible. They went up to the students and actually touched them. some of the bushin, like the one that was touching Kiba Inuzuka, continued to poke and prod the students, but most just remained still.

Sasuke was fuming. Not only did the 'dobe' make more Bushin than him but they were also solid. 'How the fuck did he do that?! He's supposed to be the 'dead-last' student! How can he make solid clones?!' He thought angrily.

Sakura was just as surprised as the rest of the class. 'Wow. I didn't know Naruto-kun could make solid clones. I always knew he was holding back on his skills, but I didn't know that it was by that much.' She thought.

'Yeah. I mean making double the amount as Sasuke plus making them solid. I wonder how he did that.' Inner Sakura wondered.

After a while, Iruka finally recovered enough to speak. "Naruto... how do you know the Kage Bushin? That's a forbidden Jutsu." He said.

The class was silent. Thoughts of, 'Is that really Naruto?' and, 'He used a forbidden Jutsu?' rang through most of the students heads.

If it was possible, Sasuke was even angrier. 'What the fuck! He did a forbidden Jutsu! How can he do that?!' He thought, close to yelling it out loud.

'I guess now we know how he did that. He used a forbidden Jutsu. Cool! Naruto-kun is full of surprises.' Sakura thought happily.

Everyone was brought out of their thoughts as Naruto began to speak. "Well you see, the Hokage is a good friend of mine and someone he knows taught it to me." He half lied. The Hokage thinks they're good friends, and he does know who Kyuubi-sama is.

Iruka nodded. He knew how close the Hokage was with Naruto. "Alright then. Congratulations, Naruto. You passed the Exam. You're now a ninja." He said handing him a leaf headband.

Naruto tied his headband on and looked at Iruka. "Thanks, sensei. So then, who's the 'rookie of the year'?" He asked.

Iruka opened his mouth, only to close it again. 'Hmm... Who should be the 'rookie of the year?' He thought. 'Well, Sasuke was going to be, until Naruto showed up, and Naruto showed some advanced skills. Damn I can't decide. I know. I guess I could make them both the 'rookie of the year.'

"Well, seeing as Sasuke and Naruto did the best on the Exam, they'll both share the title. Unless one of you wants to let the other have it." announced Iruka.

Sasuke shot up in protest. "Sensei! Why should I have to share the title with the dobe?" He asked, most of the girls shouting their agreement.

"Calm down, Sasuke. You too, girls. I don't think you can really call Naruto 'dobe', seeing as if it weren't for the fact that he didn't bother to apply himself in the past, he would have been the 'rookie of the year' by himself." Said Iruka.

The girls couldn't believe it. Naruto was as good or better then their Sasuke-kun? That's not possible, is it? No one's as good as Sasuke. Yet here was they're sensei saying that Naruto was better than Sasuke.

Sasuke was furious. 'I'm not gonna accept this.' He thought. "No. I'm gonna have to prove to you I'm better than this dobe." He said. Then he turned to Naruto. "Dobe, I challenge you for the title." Declared Sasuke.

'What do you think, Kyuubi-sama? Should I accept, or let him have the title himself?' Naruto asked mentally.

'Accept. I want to have some damn respect for once. Even if it's only from children.' Replied the great demon.

Everyone was waiting for Naruto to answer. Some were thinking that maybe he was scared. Who wouldn't be if the Sasuke Uchiha had just challenged them?

"Fine. Just don't be mad when you lose." Answered Naruto, smiling his fake smile.

"I won't, since I won't lose." Countered Sasuke as he got up.

Everyone was getting excited at the chance to see a fight. "Settle down, everyone; settle down." Said Iruka, trying to calm them down. "Now, if you two are sure you want to fight for the title, then let's go out side to the training grounds."

To be continued….

AN/ yeah… I can't seem to get my thoughts together. Sigh. This is the best I could do right now so if you don't like it tell me. Also tell me what other couples there should be. Another thing, disregard the AN at the beginning as it's not true anymore. I did start it on the same day as the first one but got stuck and continued after a while. Last thing. Please review.
