Chapter 9
Chunin Exams
"talking"
'thinking'
-Change POV-
Naruto watched, slightly irritated as Sasuke fought with Lee. and lost. He looked around for the door to the room where the first exam was being held. At first, he couldn't see anything. Then something hit him. A genjutsu. He closed his eyes and sent out a bit of his chakra, and then he quickly sensed that he door was to his right. He punched it, startling Sakura and Sasuke who hadn't been watching him. The genjutsu shattered, showing that they were there, right before the door to the chunin exams. Sakura and Sasuke were confused, but Naruto ignored them and walked right into the exams.
-FF to Exam-
Naruto sighed and stared ahead. He knew the answers to his test, but he also knew that he couldn't write them down. It would blow his cover. He looked out the window. Naruto wished that his other teammates were there. He would feel more supported, more cared for. He looked back at his paper, when a shadow caught his eye. He turned his head back to the window. A raven sat on the window sill, watching him. Next to it, a dove chirped. He grinned. So, they were there, cheering him on the best way they could. He smiled, and waited for the tenth question.
-FF to End of Exam-
Gaara sighed in irritation. He knew Naruto acted oddly, but that was above and beyond. Yelling, slamming his palm, and all in front of these pathetic fools. These useless pathetic, annoying fools. Nothing more than training dummies, the entire room of them. Gaara would enjoy watching them all get ripped to shreds, stabbed, gutted. He would also enjoy killing them himself. Watching them fall to the ground in a shocked expression. He chuckled, causing both Kankuro and Temari to eye him worriedly. Gaara couldn't wait until the second exam.
-FF to the Second Exam-
Naruto twitched and immidiently looked at Gaara when the proctor finished explaining the exam. Gaara's eyes had a little dance of joy that they usually only held when death and killing someone were mentioned. Naruto shuddered and hoped that some of the others were still there. If they weren't... Hopefully they were close enough to help if Gaara was unleashed. Naruto was confident in his abilities, but he didn't exactly think that he was strong enough to go against Gaara. He grabbed the heaven scroll, and walked into the forest, hoping that his team didn't run in with Gaara's.
He, Sasuke and Sakura spent that day looking for another team with a earth scroll. Since they couldn't find one, they set up camp and sighed, ready to sleep. Naruto decided that he needed to go to the restroom. Sasuke created an impossible password, and Naruto complained about it. But as he walked away, he smiled. He knew that Sasuke was thinking strategicly, and was using Naruto's ''slowness'' to identify him. Naruto sat behind a tree, and smiled. "Hey." Haku landed behind him and sat on a tree root. "Hey Naruto. How are things going with 'Sand's Heir'?" Naruto made a face. "It's terrible. I'm so nervous. It seems like he's going to attack someone." Haku sighed. "umm. Everyone had to move out. We were all hired. I have to leave tomorrow. We won't be back for another two months. It should be okay though. I don't think Gaara will try to do anything. See ya later."
-FF to when Orochimarou Attacks-
Naruto watched as Sasuke and Sakura were both tossed into trees. Sasuke was out like a light. Naruto would've found that funny, if not for that fact that he didn't think that this was an average ninja and that he suspected pain in his future. Naruto decided to just ditch the idiot routine for a while and attack like he normally would. He formed handsigns. "Fire Storm Jutsu!" He shouted. A storm of fire attacked both the snake and his master. Naruto found himself wrapped up in a snake tail. Then he was slammed into a tree. He looked up with blurred vision. He was almost eaten by the snake, when the creature was impaled by a rain of ice-spikes. Haku disappeared, and Sasuke woke up as the snake dissappeared. He tried his best to fight the ninja himself, while Naruto felt himself slipping into oblivion. Knock out gas. Haku had purposely kept him out of this fight. Naruto collapsed. Sakura woke up to see Sasuke getting bitten, and Naruto unconcious and looking half-dead, although he just got some bruises from being squeezed by a snake till he turned a pleasant shade of light blue.
-FF to End of Second Exam-
Naruto sighed nervously. He was on his own watching Gaara for two months... That sucked. And to make things worse, they wanted the genin to fight to the death?! The death!! How stupid were these people? They might as well just tell Gaara to go ahead and slaughter the rest of the competitors. Stupidest thing ever. Naruto shook his head in irritation. This was going to suck. badly.
