A/n: Yeah, sorry for the late(this word doesn't even begin to describe it) update. I hope you'll be happy with this one (Sorry for the lack of action, I seriously suck at those).

And once again, sorry. Please forgive me.

Mitarashi Anko was weird. The outfit she wore was entirely too revealing, according to the mumblings of Hinata-chan (but Naruto made sure to listen carefully to his Momma and Ku-chan whilst they both, individually, explained the importance of kunoichi being inviting), the crazy and blood lust-y look in her eyes did scare him a bit(but nothing scared him more than the picture of Sasuke that one time, when he was out playing tag with half of the population of Konoha (Naruto was a bit sad when he found out Sasuke didn't want to play tag with him, but figured that if he was going to end up in the hospital after every game of tag, he might as well skip it)), and her both rough and shrill voice did install some nervous feelings in his gut.

Naruto wholeheartedly agreed with Hinata-chan's mumblings of her being weird, crazy, loud and sadistic (she just nicked some guys cheek, and licked the blood of his face!)... but he too agreed wholeheartedly with Ku-chan's screams in his head:

"Hot damn gurrrl, you're one fiiiine vixen!".

It seemed as Ku-chan like Anko and wasn't entirely bothered by the smell of snakes coming of her ('Brat, we foxes eat up snakes...'cue the weird purring sound), and strangely behind him, and so Naruto decided that after this exam was over, he'll go searching for her and introduce the two of them properly.

He could, as a matter of fact, transfer a bit of Ku-chan's consciousness into a shadow clone, though he only knew how to do it in theory, so he figured- this is a nice opportunity to try it!

And also, his mind whirling back to the fact of Anko-san being weird, lots of people called Momma the weirdest woman they've ever met. And if Momma was weird, then weird was good.

Naruto slowly turned his head to look at his teammates, who were busy arguing over who would carry the scroll(Sai with his strange smile and Sasuke with his normal glare). He sighed softly, slowly waltzing off and mixing in with the other contestants. He saw Choji with a ramen flavored chips a few second earlier... Perhaps if he asked nicely, he would share(Asking nicely for ramen was a concept Naruto never understood fully. He never realized why so many people ran in fear from him when he gave them his pleading smile...).

After a few minutes of walking around, leaving Shikamaru to shake some life into traumatized Choji, the test finally began.

Sasuke, Sai and Naruto whooshed with their genin ninja might into the Forest of Death, and Naruto, the sweet child he is, found it imminent to inform them he was well acquainted with it; after all, Momma brought him here when she taught him some very important, hush-hush Uzumaki techniques. They stopped a few times, for Naruto to show them the newly decoration Momma brought to this playground (never really getting a got look at their fearful faces with his squinted with joy eyes). For some reason, Ku-chan was laughing his tails off in the back of Naruto's mind.

When the little blonde felt a tug of nature calling him, he tried politely excusing himself and doing business in the bushes nearby; though it took him half an hour to convince Sasuke no one would ambush him during his manly ritual and there was truly no need for him to stand guard(Naruto suspected that Sasuke's eyes were a bit too predatory like).

Though, he regretted it soon, when a huge snake(which didn't have an uzumaki tatto on them, so they were not residents of the forest) went ahead and swallowed him.

*a couple hundreds of shadow clones later*

Naruto arrived on the battlefield amongst the trees only to be welcomed with that... uniquely styled girl that smelled of snakes('The word you're looking for is ugly as hell!') dancing to the tunes of Sai's tigers and Sasuke's kicks.

Deciding this is one game he was allowed (and wanted, who was he kidding) to take part in, Naruto quickly went through seals Momma taught him, gathering the wind chakra into his lungs and blowing it out after feeling the appropriate amount of chakra gather, yelling out:

"Fuuton: Kamaitachi!"

It wasn't strong enough to do anything but create a 2 inch deep cuts on several places on the body of the girl, but Sasuke's Katon: Housenka no Jutsu gave him a new idea.

"Sai, cover us!" Naruto yelled out to his paler teammate.

Jumping over the branches that the girl was destroying (her snakes were helping though) he sent a set of signals to his childhood friend that only him (and perhaps Itachi with his sneaky eyes, and all right, Shisui too, and probably Momma and Dad, but no one else, swear!) understood.

At the approximately same time when Sai's eals were strangling the girl, Naruto and Sasuke quickly turned around towards her, both yelling out:

"Katon: Hidoko no Jutsu!"

"Fuuton: Kaiten Shuriken!"

… after the magnificent explosion of fire took place amidst their battlefield, the girl was left standing alone, her skin pealing off, her snakes writhing in their burning death with no trio of boys around them. Her anger filled shriek could be heard

"Naruto, I'm fairly sure you're supposed to use normal shurikens in that technique."

"I did use normal ones."

"I could swear I could see explosion tags on some... "

"Silly Sasuke, there were no explosion tags... I encrypted them instead of the tags."

"That was very clever of you Naruto-kun."

"Thanks Sai! You did well too!"

"Hn. What about the three pro..."

"Well, it's not like I called him, is it?"

"I believe you..."

"I mean if he comes now and sees obviously not a genin in Chunnin exams chasing down just another genin and destroying just another jounins'playground... well, it's not like I can actually predict what he'll do next."

"You're evil."

"That's an awful thing to say about your teammate Sasuke!"

"Hn. I like it."
