Disclamer: ~I don't own Naruto~

AN: Sorry about any grammer or spelling mistakes. This is my first shot at a chapter story. Reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated (like telling me if I should continue with this story or if this story already sucks and I should just stop). I'm also try to work on making the chapters longer.

Chapter One: The Chuunin Exams Begin!

Sakura stood next to her raven-haired teammate while waiting for their tardy sensei at their meeting place on the bridge and she was becoming more annoyed by the minute.

"Where is Kakashi-sensei? I had to hurry to get dressed this morning and I didn't even have time to brush my hair!" said Sakura while running her fingers through her long pink locks.

"Hn" grunted Sasuke who was not really paying attention to his pink-haired teammate and instead was thinking about the sand-nins that they ran into before.

"Why does he always have us meet here so early if all he's going to do is be late? Maybe we should just start meeting an hour later than what Kakashi-sensei says. Right Naruto?" Sakura said, looking for an answer that was more than Sasuke's one syllable reply.

The said blond was currently leaning on the railing of the bridge looking down into the water lost in his thoughts. 'It's been a few weeks since those dreams started and I think that they are starting to become clearer. Usually I forget everything about the dream right after I wake up and am only left with a feeling that something happened. But this morning I remembered it had something to do with Konoha in danger or something like that. Grr… Why can't I remember any more of it?!… I know that it was just a dream but I can't shake the feeling of importance it had…'

"NARUTO!"

"Huh? Sakura-chan? Why are you yelling my name?" asked a startled Naruto.

"I've been calling your name but you weren't responding. You didn't hear anything I said before did you?" Sakura said accusingly.

"Hn. Dobe" Sasuke said.

"Shut up, Teme!" Naruto said before turning to Sakura. "Sorry Sakura-chan, I was just thinking about what flavor of ramen I should eat for lunch. Beef or chicken?" Naruto said while thinking, 'I don't think I should tell anyone about the dreams I've been having until I figure out what's causing them or what they're about. Otherwise people will think I'm crazy or that my dreams might have something to do with the fox.'

"Hey. Sorry I'm late, I had to save some children who were being chased by an angry wolf." Kakashi said as he appeared on top of the bridge.

"LIAR!" both Naruto and Sakura yelled at the same time.

Kakashi did one of those eye-smiles and gave them each a piece of paper as he said; "There's no missions today because I have decided to enter you in the Chuunin Exams. It's up to you to decide if you want to take the exam. If you do decide to take it then go to room 301 at the academy tomorrow with the papers I just handed you."

"YES! Thank you Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed while tackling his sensei.

"Whoa. Take it easy Naruto. Well I have to go. Think about what I've told you." Kakashi stated before getting Naruto off of him then poofing away.

"Yeah! I am definitely entering this exam thing," said Naruto as he looked over the paper his sensei had just given him.

"It will be a good chance to test my self against other genin." Sasuke said before walking away.

"Hey. What about you Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"… I don't know," said Sakura who was unsure of whether or not she should actually enter in the exam.

"Come on Sakura-chan I bet you can do it and you'll be great." Naruto said with a goofy grin.

"You really think so?" asked Sakura. Naruto was about to respond when Sakura suddenly noticed that Sasuke was walking away. And with her confidence restored, thanks to Naruto, she called out to him saying, "Sasuke-kun! Wait for me!"

Naruto just let out a sigh a being left behind and proceeded to start heading towards the Ichikaru Ramen stand to hopefully get his mind off of things.

The next day team seven walked into the academy where they soon were confronted by two disguised Chuunin standing by room 201 that was under a genjutsu that made the room appear to be room 301.

Sasuke told them to drop the genjutsu and that Sakura had noticed it first. The thing about that was that Naruto noticed the genjutsu around the room before anyone had said anything. So while Sasuke and Sakura were meeting Rock Lee, Naruto was trying to figure out how he knew about the genjutsu. 'What the hell? I've always sucked at genjutsu. I can never detect, dispel, or even cast a remotely decent one. They've always… wait, when have I ever used a word like 'remotely'… what does remotely even mean?!… Jeez…. This is so frustrating.... and it's also kinda weird.'

"Come on Naruto. Let's go," Sakura said as she grabbed both Naruto and Sasuke's hands and dragged them along towards the real room 301 where the exam was supposed to take place.
