Chapter 7: Start the Exams!

The teams all filed into a room with a chalkboard and a desk at the front of the room. Everyone took a seat and waited for the proctor to start.

"The rules for the first exam are simple," he stated. "You have to take a written test. There are only 10 questions. You are given 9 questions on the paper the final question will be revealed in the final hour. If you are caught cheating you will be disqualified along with your team. If you don't get the tenth question right you and your team will be disqualified."

Everyone tensed up. If one of the kids on the teams messed up the whole team would be disqualified.

"Ready? Begin! You have 2 hours until the final question."

The teams started. Everyone did the one thing they could do: cheat. Ten-Ten used nearly invisible strings to move mirrors to give the answers to her teammates. Shino used a bug to gather the information from others. Kiba's dog, Akamaru, looked at the answers of others and gave the answers to his master. Gaara made a third eye with his sand and copied answers. Ino used her mind transfer jutsu to steal Sakura's answers since she was smart. Sasuke just used his Sharingan to copy the pencil movements of another student.

Naruto didn't need to use jutsu to cheat. Elyon and Kyuubi gave him answers mentally. As he waited he noticed Hinata was nervous. He knew what her family thought of her and that she was nervous she would get them disqualified. Naruto knew he had to help her. He decided to. He focused his chakra and summoned a small blue fox with an x-shaped scar on its forehead and four tails.

"I need you to go comfort the white-eyed girl for me," he mentally commanded, which was easy since he could communicate mentally with foxes thanks to Kyuubi. "Her name is Hinata."

"Yes master."

The small fox went over to the nervous girl. She was pretty scared until she felt something soft and furry rub against her. She looked down to see a small fox snuggling against her stomach.

"My name is Ryu," it spoke, "My master sent me here to comfort you. He wasn't very specific on how but it looks like cuddling you is working." Hinata smiled. Even now he comforted her.

Meanwhile Naruto was having a little talk with the fox and dragon.

"Hey what was that thing with the black flame earlier?" he asked. Elyon answered "It seems that the colliding energies of my chakra and the foxes chakra formed a new energy. That black flame. He heard Kyuubi chuckle, "Looks like we got a new weapon kiddo."

As the hours rolled by more and more teams were eliminated. The only left so far were the Konoha teams, a grass team, the Suna group, the Sound team and two rain teams.

"Okay," yelled Ibiki, "The final question shall be given but you have another option."

Everyone listened.

"You can ignore it but if you do you and you will be eliminated but your team will continue. Those of you who want to back out now raise your hand."

No one did anything the only person who raised his had was Naruto.

"You want to back out?"

"Yeah. Those who put themselves before the mission are scum but those who will sacrifice his team for the mission are worse. That is what I live by. I can give up but my team will go on."

Everyone seemed to take Naruto's words to heart. Ibiki smirked "In that case I'd like to say to everyone in this room…you pass."

Everyone's jaws nearly hit the floor.

"What?" Temari yelled.

"The point of this exam was to see if you could gather information without getting caught. Getting information is an important part of the mission. But if you give the mission up just to save your own skin you don't deserve to be alive." He took of his headband to reveal a large amount of scars and puncture wounds on his head.

"I learned that years ago. Good luck in the next part of the exam your gonna need it."

At that moment something burst threw the window. As the smoke cleared it revealed Zabuza and a woman. She had purple hair tied up to where it looked like a pineapple she had on an orange skirt, a brown trench coat with a fishnet shirt.

"All right you maggots!" she yelled, "My name is Anko Mitarashi this is Zabuza Momochi. Were the proctors for the second part of the exam!" Zabuza just crossed his arms and gave everyone a death look that scared everyone except Naruto.

"All right," Zabuza growled, "Meet us tomorrow at noon for the second half at the training fields." With that they vanished.

The next day…

Naruto was a little nervous. It was a few hours till the second part of the Chuunin exams and he had been called by ANBU to the tower for the first. As he entered he saw Ibiki along with his father and a team of ANBU.

"What's up?" he asked as he entered.

"We have a concern," Minato said.

"What?"

"Your test," Ibiki stated, "You got every answer right and your tests for the academy show you didn't get most of the stuff. Care to explain.?"

Naruto just smile, "I've gotten a lot smarter over the past few weeks."

Minato grinned while Ibiki looked confused.

"Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna be late for the second part."

'Elyon,' he thought, 'is there a way I can get there quickly?"

"Yes, focus my chakra into your back. You should be able to grow wings." answered the dragon.

Naruto did that and silver chakra wings sprouted. They were in the shape of dragon wings and were 10 feet from tip to tip. Naruto rushed to the window and burst through it flying off at full speed to meet the deadline.

Ibiki growled, "I just got that fixed form Anko's and Zabuza's fiasco the other day."

"Sir, one of the ANBU said, "That proves he's a demon. The fox must be getting control. Just give me the order and I'll-"

He didn't finish his sentence as Minato sent him crashing through a few walls and into the streets.

'Idiots,' he thought, 'Soon they will know who he is and what he can do.'

Minato grinned he could see the faces of the villagers when they found out his true name: Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
