Sorry this is going to be so short… I hope you all don't mind.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
"I think I made a mistake," Sakura muttered quietly to herself. She gave a small longing glance over at Kakashi; he wasn't looking.
"I think I do like you."
Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke all stood before Kakashi. Today would be the first portion of the exams; the written portion.
"I have complete faith in all of you," Kakashi said before giving them a wave. "We'll meet up after the test."
Kakashi disappeared causing a light weight to be shifted off of Sakura's shoulders. She smiled lightly before taking Sasuke's and Naruto's hand into her own.
"We'll do pass this together," she said confidently before walking toward the academy building.
"I know!" Naruto yelled happily.
"You did help the Dobe study for the exams, Sakura," Sasuke commented as they reached the door. "Even if he tried, I don't think he couldn't pass."
"Thanks Sasuke," Sakura said with a small smile. "Just remember that we should remain below the radar; we don't need any unwanted for attention."
"Agreed," Sasuke muttered as they entered the building. Noticing the slip in his hand, he nodded. "Third floor."
When reaching the third floor sign, Sasuke stopped seeing the rest of the genin teams. Walking up to the front, the three noticed two thug-like guards in front of the door.
"You must move!" One ninja clad in all green yelled. "We must enter so we can pass the exams!"
"Sakura," Sasuke said catching everyone's attention.
"This is genjutsu," Sakura said from between the two boys. "We are only on the second floor."
The two guards smirked, and poofed into their regular men bodies. "Smart," one commented.
Team 7 turned around and started to walk toward the stairs again. They were stopped when someone grabbed walked in front of them.
"Who are you?" It was a long dark haired man stood in front of them; he was looking pointedly at Sasuke.
"Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke said simply. Sakura gazed at the teen in front of her, she studied him intently. Her mouth moved to Sasuke's ear, and she whispered in it quietly.
"Hyuuga," Sakura whispered quietly. "They are known for their blocking of chakra points, and can see long distances with their byakugan. This one is most likely from the branch clan."
Sasuke nodded, and walked up to the Hyuuga. "I am Neji Hyuuga," the Hyuuga said with a slight nod. "I will see you in the exams."
"Wait," the green clad ninja stood in front of team seven. "Neji is my teammate. I am Rock Lee."
Sakura nodded her head; her eyes were a brilliant forest green. 'He walks gracefully,' she noted mentally. 'Additional weights are added to his legs; he must be extremely fast… maybe even faster than we have seen Kakashi."
Lee walked up to Sakura and took her hand gently. "Will you be my girlfriend, Sakura?"
Beside her, both Naruto and Sasuke blanched. Sakura allowed her cheeks to blush a light pink. "I am very sorry, Lee-san," Sakura said quietly. "I am not interested in a boyfriend, currently."
"I understand," Lee said. He glanced to Sasuke; there was a fire burning in his eyes. "I must challenge you then, Sasuke."
"Tch," Sasuke muttered as he glanced to Lee. "I don't think so."
"We really must be going to the exam," Sakura commented. "Your challenge will have to wait, Lee-san, sorry."
Sakura grabbed both Sasuke and Naruto's hands again, and walked up the stairs to the real third floor. "Under the radar," Sakura muttered quietly, only so Sasuke and Naruto could here.
Walking into the academy room, Sakura could notice a few other teams waiting patiently for the exams to start.
"Sasuke-kun!" A loud shrill sounded. Sasuke took a slight step to the right as a long haired blonde flew passed him.
"Ino," Sasuke commented with a sigh. "Leave me alone."
Coming along behind her, five people followed.
"Kiba, Hinata, Shino," Sakura nodded to team eight. She moved her head and nodded to the other two; team ten. "Shikamaru, Choji."
"SASUKE-KUN!" Ino yelled loudly.
"You all must be rookies," A silver headed teen walked up to their group with a wide smile; he also wore glasses. "It's nice to see other Leaf genin here, but I should give you some advise; don't be so loud."
"And who are you to tell us what to do?" Kiba questioned loudly.
"I'm Kabuto," the silver haired teen said. "And this is my eighth time taking the exams; now who am I talking to?"
The other teams walked away, leaving just team seven.
"I'm Naruto!" Naruto grinned widely. "Uzumaki. This is Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno."
Kabuto's eyes shone surprise only for a few seconds; then he grinned with a smile. "It's nice to meet you all. Since I think you are all so cute, I'll help you out a little."
Kabuto brought out a stack of cards. "These cards have information on them I can get with my chakra," Kabuto said. "Even for individuals."
"Gaara of Sand," Sakura found her voice saying quietly. Kabuto's eyes widened slightly, but he grabbed a card from the pile, nonetheless.
"It's no fun when you already know their names," Kabuto commented with a mock pout.
"Who is this guy, Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked Sakura quietly. Sakura motioned to the card, and Kabuto sighed.
"Gaara of the Desert, actually," Kabuto mumbled when he read off the card. "I don't' have much info on him, but it says here he has done 9 C-rank missions, and 2 B-rank missions; wow, and it says here he has come back from these missions without even a scratch."
"How do you know this guy, Sakura?" Sasuke questioned her as he looked at the card again.
"I met him a few days ago," Sakura commented quietly; she had not told either Sasuke or Naruto about her run in with the sand ninja.
A few more ninja walked through the door, Kabuto's shoulder accidently brushed up against one of them.
"What was that?" The teen asked with a glare. He had shoulder length blue hair, and a headband with a music note on it.
"Sound," Sakura muttered quietly while watching the display. Sakura felt uneasy as a weird glint came over Kabuto's eyes. She tried to ignore it, but something unsettling settled within her stomach.
"Sorry," Kabuto muttered as he backed away from the nin; he just glared.
"We should teach you a lesson," he muttered as his teammates stood beside him. A man clad in mummy wrap, and girl with long black hair.
"I agree," the mummy clad ninja said. The two glared at the silver haired man, and attacked.
The blue haired teen grabbed a kunai and flung it at Kabuto; Kabuto dodged and flipped backward. Sakura stood on the side lines, mentally taking notes.
Sakura knew that Sound ninja were known for attacking the senses; most likely the sound or hearing sense. She took out a kunai when she found the ninja wrapped in mummy wrap move in front of Kabuto.
Even though she had a bad feeling about Kabuto, she still felt bad for the guy. She appeared right behind the ninja as he brought his hand up to attack Kabuto. Allowing her eyes to glow forest green, she noticed the chakra focused in on the sound nin's arms.
"I wouldn't do that," Sakura commented quietly. She spoke quietly, but since the whole room was silent, everyone could hear her. "We are here for the written part of the exam and not the physical portion. I would suggest you and your teammates move away from us now."
Nodding his head slightly, the Sakura allowed the man to move away with his teammates. Kabuto looked up with slight amazement. "Thank you," he muttered.
A poof was heard from the front of the room, and a cloud of smoke appeared.
"Take your assigned seats," a man stated without emotion. He stood in front of a group of chuunin and jounin. He had long scars on his face, and emitted a scary aura. "We'll get started now."
