What Changes...

Chapter 6: Chunin Exam's Kick Ass!

Sakura and Naruto were grumbling to themselves about how it was unfair that Sasuke was the only one who got to bond with Inari. The small boy even went so far as to call Sasuke his aniki before they left. Oh, and do you know what they decided to name the bridge this time?

'The Great Double U Double H Bridge' It stood for Uchiha, Uzumaki, Haruno, and Hatake. Naruto was really upset about that. He liked it when it was called 'The Great Naruto Bridge'! Or in other words...he got jipped...

The journey back went pretty smoothly. Although since Naruto was so busy grumbling to himself he accidentally walked right off a cliff. Sakura had grabbed his hand to keep him from falling but since he was heavier she got pulled too, so Sasuke grabbed her hand...but the combined weight of them ended up in all three of them falling off a cliff into a large river at the bottom. Resulting to them having to climb back up soaking wet and filthy seeing as the side of the cliff was covered with dirt. When they had reached the top they saw Kakashi waiting for them in a tree while reading his book. The whole thing took about twenty minutes.

Sakura wasted an extra ten chasing Kakashi around trying to take his book away so she could burn it as punishment for not helping them. Of course, said jonin was faster than her so it really was just a waste of time...

Once they finally made it back the Hokage and a few other men in the room gave the kids odd looks, wondering why they were so wet and muddy. But they didn't comment on it. ''So, you completed the mission?'' The Third asked when nobody spoke. ''Yes. We completed the mission successfully.'' Kakashi said, slightly smiling under his mask when he noticed that some of the adults in the room were still staring at the pre-teens. ''Good you are dismissed. I'm sure your team would like to get home and change clothes.'' Sasuke and Sakura glared at Naruto who quickly ran out the building. Sakura and Sasuke following after him while Kakashi just 'poofed' away.

(Three weeks later...)

''I have called you all here to inform you all that the chunin exams are coming up.'' He then motioned for Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma to come to come to the front of the big group of jonin. ''I was wondering if you would like to recommend any of your genin for the chunin exams?''

''I would like to recommend all three of my genin.'' Kakashi replied. He really didn't even think that his team needed to take the test. He new they would pass, probably with record timing.

''What? No! They aren't ready!'' Iruka shouted in worry. Kakashi sounded annoyed as he replied, ''How would you know if they were ready or not?''

''I was their academy instructor! I know them better than anyone!'' Kakashi raised an eyebrow. ''From the information written on the info cards you gave me a few weeks ago you don't seem to know anything about them.'' Iruka stared at him in confusion. ''What do you mean? That information was completely accurate!'' Kakashi just shook his head without answering.

''Are you sure you want to do this, Kakashi? I held my team back a year to make sure they were ready.'' Gai said while looking at Kakashi in curiosity. Surely his team couldn't have gotten that strong in only a month.

''They're not your average genin.'' Kakashi replied simply, quoting Sasuke's words that never seemed to leave his subconscious. Everybody but the Hokage looked at Kakashi in slight disbelief. How could they not be average...?

''I can't wait! Kakashi-sensei will come tell us any day now about the chunin exams! I'm so psyched!'' Naruto shouted, pumping his fists into the air. The other two sweatdropped, Sasuke replied, ''Why? It's not like were actually going to become chunin...or even finish the exam for that matter.'' Sasuke looked bored on the outside but inside he was still dreading the exams. ''Yeah...but it was still fun kicking Neji's butt in the finals!'' Sakura was about to say something but all of a sudden Moegi, Udon, and Konohamaru decided to rush up screaming Naruto's name.

''What is it, Konohamaru?'' Naruto asked. ''Hi Boss! We were hoping you-'' Konohamaru paused when he saw Sakura standing behind Naruto looking at them curiously. ''Oh! I see! Your one smooth operator Boss! I didn't know you had a girlfriend!'' Sasuke darted his head to look at the child in confusion while a vein popped on Sakura's forehead. ''I am not his girlfriend!'' The kids and Naruto cowered at the waves of anger coming of the kunoichi. ''Figures...your kinda ugly anyway...'' Konohamaru muttered, but they all froze when they saw Sakura advance for towards them. ''Run!'' Naruto shouted, they took off as fast as their legs could take them, Sakura following closely behind them. ''Come back here!'' Sasuke sweatdropped and instead of running he simply walked after them.

''Ha ha! You can't catch us, ugly!'' Konohamaru shouted while looking behind him. Since he wasn't looking forward he accidentally crashed into something...hard. Kankuro growled and picked the kid up by his blue scarf. ''Hey kid, that kinda hurt...''

''Hey! Put Konohamaru down!'' Naruto shouted, although it wasn't really in anger. He was sort of shocked to see him there, he had forgotten that this happened last time. He looked to his side when he saw Sakura rush up next to him. ''Kankuro...'' she muttered, said person had heard it and turned to her direction. ''Hey! How do you know my name?'' Sakura smiled and replied, ''I know all of your names. Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara. Although...why Gaara seems to want to keep himself hidden I'm not sure...'' Temari and Kankuro looked at her in confusion until they noticed Gaara had, out of nowhere, appeared beside Sakura.

''You new I was here...impressive.'' Gaara muttered to her. Sasuke, who also appeared out of nowhere and was sitting in the tree above them, said ''Can you please tell your brother to put the kid down.'' Gaara looked up at Sasuke passively before motioning for Kankuro to drop Konohamaru. He complied and Konohamaru and the other two ran off. Gaara then looked back at Sakura. ''How did you know I was here?'' Naruto spoke up before she got the chance to answer. ''Because you did a crappy job of hiding your chakra signature...a monkey could have found you.'' This would have been an insult if it wasn't for the fact that Naruto said this with a playful smile. Temari and Kankuro looked at him as if he was crazy. ''What is your name?'' Gaara asked, ignoring the comment.

Naruto smiled widely, ''The names Naruto Uzumaki! Nice to make your acquaintance!'' Gaara nodded, he then looked to the tree where Sasuke was. ''You?'' Sasuke smirked, ''Sasuke Uchiha.'' Gaara nodded again looked next to him at Sakura. She assumed he wanted her to say her name too, although she couldn't fathom why he cared. ''Sakura Haruno, I'm going to assume you three are here for the chunin exams?'' Gaara didn't answer and kept staring at her. Like before, she assumed that meant yes. Smiling at the siblings sweetly she said, ''Well, we will enjoy kicking your asses in the exam. Goodbye Temari-chan, Kankuro-kun, Gaara-kun.'' She then turned and left with Naruto and Sasuke following her.

''Well they sure are...odd.'' Temari mused as they watched them walk away. ''Especially the pink-haired one...although she is kinda cute.'' Kankuro added, only to get a thump on the head courtesy of Temari and her fan. Gaara watched them go with confusion. Why did the kunoichi act as if she knew him personally? He intended to find out when the time came. She did say they would be at the chunin exams...

''I have signed you all up for the chunin exams.'' Kakashi said to them. What he got in return was to be expected. Naruto was jumping up and down yelling about how much fun it was going to be and Sakura was smiling widely. Sasuke's reaction, however, confused him. Kakashi had expected him to be at least a little excited. The Uchiha just looked as if he was dreading the whole thing, but Kakashi didn't comment on it. If Sasuke refused to participate then that meant none of them could. He would just let them figure that out later. He then 'poofed' away to leave them to discuss it amongst themselves.

''Yeah! Tomorrow is the start of the chunin exams! Finally, some real action!''

''But what about Orochimaru?'' Sakura asked, Sasuke visibly stiffened. Naruto shrugged, '' I dunno. We can either avoid him all together or we can specifically search for him and just kill him. Shouldn't be to hard since Teme did it before.'' They both looked in Sasuke's direction to see that he was no longer standing there. He'd already started walking away right after he heard Naruto say, 'specifically search for him'. They stared at him in confusion before running to catch up with him. They had decided to train for the upcoming exam.

(As a heads up...I'm kinda confused about which came first, Sasuke and Lee fighting...or them going on the second floor with the genjutsu. So sorry if I do those two in the wrong order...it's been like a year since I saw that episode.)

Next Day...)

After their training yesterday, the three ninja went through a costume change. Sakura was wearing a shirt like the one she wears in the future except it was a darker shade and it had long flowing sleeves that almost covered her hands. The skirt and shoes are exactly the same as they were in the future but her shorts were dark green. She finished the outfit with navy blue, finger-less gloves and she had cut her hair so it was shoulder-length.

Naruto was basically wearing the same outfit, but instead of blue and orange it was black and orange. He left the jacket open to show off his black shirt with a red swirl in the middle.

Sasuke wore his open white shirt like in the future with the Uchiha clan symbol in the corner on the right. His pants were like Naruto's exept they weren't rolled up and they were Navy-blue. Instead of wearing his headband on his forehead he tied it onto his left arm.

The outfits made them look kinda older.

They calmly walked up the stairs until they came across the 'third' floor. They kept on walking past the crowd of genin so they could get to the next set of stairs, ignoring the odd looks everybody gave them. ''Hey! Where do you think your going? The exams are over here!'' A boy they knew as Izumo Kamizuki asked. They saw that like before, he and his friend Kotetsu Hagane had transformed themselves into genin. ''Were going to the third floor.'' Sakura answered simply. They heard a few people murmur that this was the third floor. ''This is not the third floor, it's the second. There is a genjutsu on this hallway.'' The three kept walking before Naruto decided to add, ''Those two aren't even genin. They're chunin using a transformation jutsu.'' Most of the genin turned to glare at Kotetsu and Izumo, but they just shrugged it off.

Team seven was going to continue to the stairs when they were stopped once again. ''Hey you three, what are your names?''

''It's common courtesy to give your own name before asking someone else's.'' Sasuke replied without turning around. Sakura felt like hitting him for being such a smart ass. He already knew Neji's name, he just wanted to annoy him. ''Excuse me? Fair maiden?'' It took Sakura a second to realize it was Lee who was talking and it took her another second to realize he was talking to her. She turned around to see him smiling brightly at her. It was almost blinding.

''May I ask what your name is?'' She looked at her friends for help. Naruto was just smiling and trying not to laugh while Sasuke was glaring daggers at Lee for whatever reason. ''Uhm..my name is Sakura Haruno...what's yours?'' He smiled at her wider as if what she said just made his day. Then again...it probably did. ''My name is Rock Lee, handsome devil of the leaf village! Please be my girlfriend! I shall protect you with my life!'' After that statement he gave her another smile and a thumbs-up. She gave him a smile in return and replied, ''No thank you Lee.'' Lee looked as if he was about to commit suicide so Sakura quickly added, ''I'm not into dating right now, but maybe in the future-'' She was cut off by Lee picking her up and squeezing the life out of her.

''Oh thank you Sakura-chan! I shall wait for you forever!'' Sakura, Naruto and basically everybody else in the hallway sweatdropped at this proclamation. Sasuke on the other hand, quietly growled at Lee. He wasn't sure why he was so angry, but he was. Once Lee had put Sakura down Sasuke grabbed her hand and dragged her up the stairs, Naruto following them and laughing the entire way.

They made it to the third floor and came across a vast room. The room they wanted to get to was on the other side. As they made there way through the room they were stopped yet again by Lee. ''Hey you, with the attitude, hold on.'' He was on the balcony-type part of the room. He jumped down and took a fighting stance. ''Let us fight.''

''No thanks.'' Sasuke replied, getting shocked looks from his teammates. ''I'm afraid it's not optional Sasuke-san.'' Sasuke shrugged and proceeded to walk past Lee. ''I might fight you later...but we're about to be late. Besides, at the level your at now...you wouldn't be much of a challenge, where's the fun in that?'' Naruto was shaking his head and followed behind Sasuke. Of course he would say no this time. None of the genin here were really worth their time. Sakura looked sadly at Lee because he looked like he just got punched in the stomach.

''It's okay Lee, I'm sure you'll get to fight Sasuke-kun next time!'' She smiled brightly at him which immediately lifted his mood. ''Oh thank you Sakura-chan! I didn't know my future wife was so caring!'' Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks and Naruto almost crashed into his back. Sakura just smiled sheepishly. Lee was her friend...so she couldn't yell at him. ''I'll fight you...'' Sasuke stated after he walked beside Sakura. ''Perfect! Watch as I beat your teammate to a bloody pulp, Sakura-chan!'' Sakura wasn't sure how to respond to that since she was pretty sure it would be the other way around. She could feel he waves of irritation rolling off Sasuke. 'Don't kill him, Sasuke-kun.' He just grunted in response.

Sakura stepped beside Naruto so they would be out of the way. Lee charged at Sasuke and aimed a kick at Sasuke's head. He side-stepped it and grabbed Lee's ankle. Sasuke spun him around a few times and threw him into a wall. Lee got up and charged again, faster this time. He threw some fast punches at Sasuke, who dodged them all and kicked Lee in the stomach, temporarily knocking the wind out of him. ''Sasuke-kun! I told you not to kill him!''

''Hn. I didn't, I just knocked him out.'' Sakura let out a sigh and ran to Lee's unconscious body to look him over for injury's. He only had a few scratches, which she healed. ''What are we going to do with him? We can't just leave him there.'' Naruto stated. Sasuke shrugged, ''Why not? Neji and Tenten will find him eventually.'' As if on cue Neji and Tenten appeared next to Sakura. ''What the hell did you do to him!?'' Tenten asked in a panic.

''Uh...he wanted to fight Sasuke-kun...but Sasuke put too much force into one of his attacks and knocked him out...'' Sakura replied, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. ''I checked him for injuries and he's fine, just unconscious.'' Tenten looked relieved while Neji just glared at Sasuke. ''Why don't you fight me next.'' Sasuke was about to reply but Sakura beat him to it. ''Soooo sorry Neji, but we only have five minutes to get to the room for the first part of the exams. Oh, and don't worry. Lee should wake up any second.'' She ushered Sasuke and Naruto out of the room before anybody could argue. Lee woke up a few seconds later and team Gai 'poofed' away.

They finally made it to the room with one minute to spare to see Kakashi standing infront of the door. ''I'm happy Sasuke decided to come. I almost thought he would refuse. Sasuke looked of to the side and Naruto and Sakura stared at Kakashi in confusion. They didn't get a chance to ask him to elaborate because he pushed them into the room and closed the door behind them. They looked all around the room at the large variety of genin. ''You know, compared to last time...this really doesn't seem like much fun.'' Sakura commented. ''Don't worry Sakura-chan! The fun starts when we get to the second part!'' Naruto exclaimed. Sakura nodded in reply and Sasuke stayed silent.

''Hey, I see you guys are here too.'' Kiba commented, walking towards them. Shino and Hinata following after him. ''Wow...you guys sure went through a costume change...'' Kiba mused. The three shrugged in indifference. Naruto looked behind Kiba at Hinata. She sure did look...cute...in the past. He wished he'd noticed before. In the future he and Hinata were already dating. He was going to try to say some thing to her, but Ino's high-pitched shouting interrupted him.

''Sasuke-kun!!!! I didn't know you would be here too!'' She shouted, latching onto him. ''Get off me,'' he said in annoyance. She was so close he could smell her freaking shampoo. Which smelled like coconut...where the hell did she- never mind...

''Ino-pig, let him go. Your suffocating him.'' Sakura said calmly. Ino let go but walked up to Sakura. ''Oh shutup forehead! Your not the boss of me!''

''Heaven help the one who is...'' Sakura muttered, earning a few chuckles from Naruto and Kiba and a glare form Ino. ''You guys a here too? Sheesh, this is going to be such a drag...'' Shikamaru muttered as he and Choji walking up to the group.

''You all seemed to have gained alot of attention.'' Kabuto said, walking towards them. It took everything they had for Sakura and Naruto to keep from glaring at him. Sasuke just stared at him passively. ''Aren't you that guy who has info cards on everyone?'' He asked in fake curiosity. ''Yeah, that's me. The name's Kabuto. Do you need some information on anyone?''

''No thanks.'' Sasuke then looked around the room to see that everybody had their eyes on rookie nine. The rest of rookie nine, other than his team, noticed too and looked nervous. Sasuke had an idea of how to release the tension. He leaned over and whispered something to Sakura. She giggled and whispered to Naruto, who smiled and nodded. ''Are you sure you don't want to join us, Teme?'' Naruto asked. Sasuke shook his head. ''I think I'd rather watch.'' The other two shrugged and walked to the front gaining the attention of everyone in the room.

''My name is Naruto Uzumaki!''

''My name is Sakura Haruno!''

''AND WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF EVERY LAST ONE OF YA!!!'' They shouted in unison, pumping their fists in the air.

''What the hell!? Are they trying to get us all killed!?'' Ino shouted/asked. The two ignored the glares and death threats they received and returned to the group. ''I don't know about you guys...but we feel much better.'' Naruto commented. He only received glares in return.

''THIS EXAM IS GOING TO KICK ASS!!!!!'' Naruto and Sakura yelled in unison, only to receive more glares. ''What?'' They asked innocently.

Sasuke shook his head. At least nobody was stressed anymore...they just wanted to kill his teammates...
