Chapter 2 Redone
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto and don't really have a chance at it unless i become a multi-gazillionaire.
The sun rose over the horizon, welcoming the new day to Konoha's citizens and shinobi. But this day was no ordinary day, this day was the beginning of the Chunin Exams.
Naruto woke up the same as usual; throwing a kunai into his twentieth alarm clock as it woke him up. The blonde got up, prepared for the day and went over to training ground 7 to meet up with his fellow team mates. When the orange suited ninja arrived, he was greeted by both Sakura and Sasuke, yelling at him for being late.
"Oh come on, it was only five minutes!" Naruto defending himself.
"Still, thanks to you we will look like a bunch of weaklings because we're late, dobe." Sasuke said with an evil glare. Naruto let out a sigh, giving up on the debate, and just walked with his team to where they were to be for the Exams.
At the hotel in the middle of the city, the mysterious team of shinobi had left their apartment together looking around.
The black haired shinobi spoke up, "Brother Chichi, exactly where are we supposed to go again?" Chichi pulled out an information pamphlet about the exams.
"We are to head to the west, it's a building we can't miss since it says 'Chunin Exams Here' and we are to go to room 301, I believe, which is on the third floor." the gray haired shinobi replied putting the pamphlet away. The three faced towards the west of the city and began sprinting away towards the designated area.
At the building for the Chunin Exams, Team 7 had finally arrived and headed up to the third floor. But when they arrived to the room, they saw a group of people standing outside of the door leading into the room.
"Come on, let us in!" a boy with more green than any man should wear in his life, shouted out.
"And you're going to take the Chunin exam? Pathetic," an older looking boy guarding the door said.
"Appreciate the fact that we're doing this. The Chunin exam is extremely hard. You weaklings would just be slaughtered." another one said mockingly.
"Let us in you stupid jerks! We're here for the first part of the Chunin Exam." said a girl with two buns in her hair and a pink shirt.
"Give up. The Chunin exam is way too difficult for any of you. Even we failed three times," the second older boy guarding the door said.
"Have you any idea how many like you we've seen killed or injured for life by this exam?" the first one asked.
"A Chunin is a team captain. Both the safety of the team and the success of the mission all depend on the captain. And you're trying to become that? Spare us the nonsense."
"What's going on?" Naruto questioned being on the outside of the crowd.
"It looks like these jerks aren't gonna let us in." Sakura replied with anger boiling up inside of here.
"Hey excuse me!" a voice was heard down the hall just in time to stop Sakura from going on a rampage. "The Chunin Exams are on the third floor right?" down the hall was the white haired boy, Musuko.
One of the guys at the door replied, "Yeah."
"OK, just wondering." Musuko walks over to the stairs leading to the lower floor, "Hey guys, it is the third floor, come on." the two other brothers come walking up the staircase. Once the three awee together, they turn and look at the group of ninja surrounding the door.
"What are they doing, brother Musuko?" Chichi asked.
"I don't know, they must not be taking the exams I guess." Seirei just shrugged his shoulders and started walking towards a wall. When he reached the wall, everyone thought he was an idiot for going straight into a solid obstacle. But instead of Seirei stopping, he actually went straight through the wall and disappeared.
Most all the shinobi were seen with their jaws opened and completely confused. Chichi then followed his brother's actions and also walked through the wall. Musuko was about to do the same, when someone from the crowd spoke up.
"Hey! How on earth are you guys going through walls?" this question stopped the white haired boy in his tracks as he looked at the ninja with confused look as well.
"What are you talking about. There's no wall. Don't these stairs go to the third floor?" The confused shinobis' jaws dropped even lower.
"But there are no stairs there! This is the third floor!" another ninja blurted out and about to go into a mental breakdown.
"No." Musuko replied, "This is the second floor. Up there is the third." and with that, the boy walked through the wall.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!" almost everyone cried out at once, except for the ones who had already put the pieces together.
"Isn't it obvious, dobe. This is a genjutsu," Sasuke said coldly, "The guards here made us believe that this was the third floor, but we are in fact on the second." the two guards huffing at their discovery, released the genjutsu and left the group to go to the top floor.
"Well it was fun while it lasted." the first guard said to his companion. The second did not respond due to being too far in thought, "You all right man?"
"Those guys, they saw right through our genjutsu. They acted as if... as if it was never there in the first place." thinking even more on the subject, he went to silence as the two released their henge to become two adult shinobi. "Who are they?"
In the room where the exams were to be held, everyone was now present and accounted for as the final team arrived through the doors.
"Well well, look who decided to show, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. The great Team 7." a boy with a dog on his shoulder said in a sarcastic voice.
"Knock it off, Kiba." Naruto said with his hand balled up into a fist. His fighting with the canine boy stopped when he saw the white haired boy along with his two brothers sitting in a corner off in the distance. "Hey Kiba."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know who those three are?" pointing towards the three brothers. Kiba looked over to see Musuko writing down in his notepad mouthing words.
"No clue, but that gray haired kid came over and began taking interest in my dog. After awhile, the dude in the white hair took out that notepad of his and wrote down: dog lover, loyal, and energetic. That my friend are the true qualities of an Inuzuka." he smirked in victory.
"He did the same thing with my team, except he wrote that I was not that bright, Sakura had a huge forehead, and that Sasuke might be gay." no matter how hard he tried, Kiba couldn't help but fall on the floor laughing after hearing those comments. "Hey, it's not funny!" Naruto yelled out, almost making everyone in the room hear him.
Kiba recollecting himself said, "Well you got to admit those are pretty darn true. I mean, it's not the best idea to be wearing an orange suit, its practically saying, 'I'm here, please kill me.'" the blonde rubbed the back of his head fully knowing that his outfit was not the best of choices, but he liked it.
"So you don't know anything at all about him except that he wrote down good stuff about you?"
"Nope, don't know anything at all, but I do know that they're good in my book." smiled Kiba with his canine teeth.
"I could be of assistance." the two looked over to see a leaf shinobi quite a few years older than they were with glasses that looked like they should be on the head of some kid with a lightning bolt scar. "Hello my name is Kabuto."
"Exactly how could you help?" Kiba said not liking this character one bit. The older ninja pulled out a deck of cards from his pouch and showed them to the two.
"These are called info cards. All I have to do is place a small amount of chakra into them and they will reveal all the information on a particular ninja. Just give me anything, name, appearance, which village they go to."
"That kid right over there." Naruto pointed to Musuko who had just sneezed.
"Aw that's no fun, you know exactly what they look like. Oh well." Kabuto pulled out one card from the deck and placed it on the ground. He then placed two fingers on the card releasing chakra into the card, the card began to spin faster and faster, it went so fast that it actually began to spark. "What the?!" that's all he could say before his hand was blasted off the card by a burst of electricity. The room was quiet now with everyone staring at the miniature eruption.
"Was that supposed to happen?" Naruto said pointing at the card which was now engulfed in flames.
"No, that's not." Kabuto looked down at his card, then over to the white haired boy who had seemed unaffected by the eruption along with his team mates. "Just who is that kid anyways?"
Kabuto or anyone else for that matter had no time to answer that due to a puff of smoke appearing in the front of the room.
"Good morning, I'll be your first of many nightmares for this exam, Ibiki Morino. Everyone form a single file line to receive your seat numbers. Those who don't get a number in seven minutes will fail immediately." a monstrous man with numerous scars across his face spoke out from the smoke.
Everyone quickly got into a line and as fast as they could, got their numbers and took a seat.
"All right times up! All who don't have a number, YOU FAIL!" Ibiki shouted out. A few teams then left the building with their heads bowed down in defeat.
"Now that all the slow pokes are gone, we will begin the first part of the exams; the written test."
Like before on the second floor, they all dropped their jaws. They had no idea that there was going to be a written test. Some people were not phased at all by this fact, like Sakura, but others were basically having a nervous breakdown, like Naruto.
Ibiki went over the rules while the papers were being passed out to the shinobi. He talked about a point system, and what the penalty was for each wrong answer, but he put the most emphasized on cheating.
"Alright, now that we all know the rules...begin." the timer was set for one hour and the genin all went to their tests.
A few minutes went by and some of the students finally found out what they had to do to pass, they had to cheat.
Sasuke was one of these people who found out, and used his Sharingan to duplicate the movements of another person's pencil.
Hyuuga Neji and his cousin Hyuuga Hinata, each used their Byakugan to see around the room for answers.
Ino used her mind possession jutsu to possess Sakura, the master of tests, and gave her answers to her team mates.
Another shinobi who had some sort of metallic mechanism on his right arm, and bandages all over his face, was doing something quite interesting.
"Tap-swish-swish-pause-tap-swish-tap-pause..." the bandaged shinobi smiled under his makeshift mask. "Yes, hearing the sound of the pencil moving along the paper, perfect."
"Tap-swish-BUMP-ish-taBUMP-swish-swisBUMP..." hearing a foreign noise, the shinobi looked over to the boy sitting to his right. It was the gray haired ninja, Chichi, giving a smirk each time he hit the table with his eraser.
"That idiot! His bumping is making me lose concentration on the sound." he looked down to see that Chichi's paper is faced down on the table showing that he should be done. "How could he be done already!?"
With Naruto...well...he was still in his nervous breakdown. "Aww man! What am I going to do, I don't know any of these questions! I'm going to fail! I'll never be hokage!"
Just then, he felt something hit his left hip. He looked down to see a pencil with something wrapped around it.
"Would you mind getting that for me?" to Naruto's surprise, the person sitting to his left was none other than Musuko. Naruto nodded and picked up the pencil. When he lifted it up, the paper wrapped around the pencil suddenly came loose and fell down his orange sleeve.
Musuko grabbed his pencil and said, "Keep it." as he placed the pencil back onto the table and leaned back in his chair.
With a quizzical look on his face, Naruto pulled out the paper and unwrapped it below the table so no one could see. To Naruto's shock, the paper had all the answers on it.
"Umm, N-Naruto." the blonde ninja looked to his right to see the Hyuuga heiress, Hinata.
'Woah! When did she get there?' Naruto had no idea she was even sitting next to him. Then again, he didn't know that Musuko was either.
"I-If you w-want, you c-could look at m-my answers." she nudged her paper ever so slightly, which was completely filled with answers.
Wide eyed now, Naruto could not believe what was happening to him. He got all the answers from two people sitting next to him and they were both willing as well, this was a chance of a life time!
But because of Naruto's nature, he refused both chances and decided to do it himself. He handed back the piece of paper to Musuko who had a surprised look on his face. After awhile he smiled and leaned back in his chair again looking up to the ceiling.
'The boy definitely isn't bright. But he does show that he doesn't take the easy way. And that's a good ninja in my book.' Musuko took out his note pad and wrote down, 'Good Ninja'.
The hour was up, and poor Naruto, even though he showed determination, didn't get a single question answered.
"All right, pencils down!" the torture specialist yelled out. "Now it is time for the final question of the test. But before I announce that, I will give you an option whether to take it or not."
"That's simple, we'll all take it!" a completely oblivious ninja in the back of the room shouted out.
"Hold on there, jumpy. The option is that if you don't take it, you're team fails with you and you have to take the exams next time. But if you do take the final question, and get it wrong... you will never be able to enter into the Chunin Exams ever, and remain a Genin for life!" this made everyone jaw dropped once again. "Now then." Ibiki smiled, "Choose."
It took awhile, but finally teams had begun leaving the room, not risking the chance of failure. Then out of the blue, a hand slammed down onto the table sending attention to a familiar blonde shinobi.
"You can't scare me! I will become hokage someday and this is the only way how! Believe it!"
The two ninja sitting next to the over confident boy were lost in their thoughts after seeing Narutos actions.
'N-Naruto is s-so courageous.'
'Like I said before, the guys not bright. But he never takes the easy way out even if it means becoming a Genin forever.' Musuko opens his note pad once again and underlines the word 'Good Ninja'.
Ibiki stood silent unmoved by Narutos burst. 'The kids got guts I'll give him that. And it even looks like that his little speech has boost the others spirits. Dang, she's going to be mad at me for allowing this many to pass.' he looked around to see that no one was moving. "All right, it seems that you all have made your decisions. Very well then."
A long pause had settled upon the room, making all the Genin sit on the edge of their seats.
"YOU ALL PASS!" a large 'THUD' was heard at the same place where the hand slam was made.
Musuko and Hinata as well as other ninja sitting around Naruto looked down to the floor seeing a dazed blonde.
'Oh the irony. The kid was anticipating for a question he was sure to fail at, but instead he gets no question and passes...well, passes out.' Musuko now underlining the words 'not very bright'. He looks up to see a blushing female with pale eyes staring at Narutos body.
"You know who he is?" Musuko asked pointing downward.
Hinata nodded and responded, "Y-Yes. H-He's Naruto."
On the side of the room, Seirei was looking over to the location of the crash. 'So that is the Jinnchuriki brother Musuko talked about. This is going to be very interesting.' he smiled for a moment only to have it change into an emotionless line across his face as he sensed something coming from outside.
The window shattered into pieces as a black ball shot through turning into a curtain attached with kunai. Inside the ball of clothe emerged a fully grown female with a fishnet shirt, tan coat and a purple pineapple for hair.
"Greeting maggots! I am your second examiner, Mitarashi Anko!" a silence settled onto the room once more, when Ibiki, from behind the curtain, cleared his throat.
"You're early, again."
Ankos eyes widened, then she smiled and rubbed the back of her head. "Oh really, am I? Whoops." after wandering her eyes amongst the remaining shinobi, her attention landed on a certain white haired boy writing in his note pad sitting write in front of her. "What you writing kid?"
"Oh nothing, I just have this habit of writing down my first impressions of people."
"Really? Let's see that." she grabs the notepad right out of his hands and began reading it to herself. 'Sadistic, snake style via sensei, painful childhood caused by sensei.' her face showed pride, anger, and finally complete shock. How the boy find out about her sensei or her childhood by just looking at her, she'll never know.
"You're a weird kid." was all Anko said giving back the notepad.
"That may be so, but I am usually right about these things. And by the look on your face just a few seconds ago, I think I was right about that last bit of info." he gave her a smirk of victory as she looked at him in wonder. "But if you think I'm weird, you haven't met my brothers yet." Chichi and Seirei both smirked at the last statement.
Shaking herself back into reality, Anko began ranting on, "Alright twerps! Meet me tomorrow where your sensei tells you, no exceptions." and with that she disappeared into a puff of smoke.
Everyone then left the building to meet up with their senseis to find out their next destination for tomorrow.
Seirei and his brothers were walking down to reach the door, but were stopped by a certain destiny addict.
"Hey, white haired kid. What's you're name?" said the Hyuuga, known as Neji.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Musuko turned around to ask the pale eyed male.
"No, I don't believe so."
"Then why would I tell you my name if I don't know yours?"
"I am Hyuuga Neji. Now, what is your name?" Neji growled, aggravating at the delay.
"Now that's better. My name is Brother Musuko, and you don't like where you stand."
Neji was taken back at the comment, although the comment just came out of the blue, it was in fact true. "Ho-How did you know that?" The white haired genin simply smiled Neji's question, "Answer me!"
"I magician never reveals his secrets." Musuko turned around and began walking away from the Hyuuga.
The three brothers went walking down the street towards their hotel when they were stopped once again, but this time, by Team 7.
"Hey, guys! Wait up!" reluctantly the brothers stopped to see Naruto running up to them. "Hey I wanted to say thanks to you for giving me those answers, but I wanted to do the test by myself."
"I respect that in a shinobi." putting out his hand, "Musuko."
"Naruto." the blonde grabbed the hand and shook.
"Chichi." Naruto shook the gray haired boy's hand.
"Seirei." the final brother shook Naruto's hand. Then the rest of the rookies surrounded the brothers.
"So this kid is the one who gave you the answers and you still didn't take them. You really are a dobe." the raven haired Uchiha spoke out first. Just then, Sasuke recognized Musuko from the day before. "You're the idiot who called me gay." this got the female in the group to get her face turning bright red and veins popping out of her forehead as well as other girls around them that overheard.
"So you have more than just one fangirl, aye. Let me guess, last of your kind and they want to help "restore" your clan." Musuko nudging Sasuke's shoulder. All the Uchiha did was poor out killer intent due to the comment. "You really are gay, if you don't even laugh at that. Either that or you're just plain sexist." shoving even more killer intent on the new insult, Sasuke was about to kill someone, specifically the ninja who called him gay and sexist.
But Sakura was the first to act once again, she threw another fist right at Musuko's face, but instead of him even moving ,let alone dodging it, a hand shot out and caught the pink haired girls arm. She looked over to see that Seirei was holding her and was leaking out some killer intent of his own.
"Didn't I tell you to not attack in anger? Or did you already forget?"
"No I didn't, but you have no right to insult Sasuke-kun."
"You're telling me you haven't seen him act around girls? Just at first glance it looks like he thinks you are a burden, no offense, as well as every other girl that even says hi to him. He has to either be sexist, gay, or..." looking closer at Sasuke now. He showed off a tiny smirk, "Or he just doesn't want to lose anyone again."
Sasuke, like everyone else that had heard Musuko's predictions, was wide eyed. No one had yet figured out how he truly felt about the world since the Uchiha Massacre, he did hate everything, but that was because it was all taken away from him on that fateful day. He had closed his heart from it all, what remain was his vengeance against his brother.
"So, I am right." he turns around and leaves with his fellow siblings.
"S-Sasuke, is...is he right?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke didn't respond for awhile, he just stood there looking at the three men from who knows where. But when he did speak, it was not directed at Naruto's question, but at Seirei, Chichi, and Musuko.
"What are you?"
Chichi then answered, while still walking. "We are Sky Ninja." then they disappeared into thin air, leaving behind two concerned shinobi and a petrified Uchiha.
Sasukes true feelings revealed. And just exactly are these new ninja capable of. We'll find out when they come back into the next chapter, The Forest of Death.
I always like reviews and will always ask for them. So don't be shy, send some reviews, don't care if they're bad just make sure you can support what you said or you'll look like an idiot. I'm out.
