Naruto let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Hinata had made it out of the Forest of Death. He smiled to himself; out of the twenty people there fourteen of them were from the hidden leaf, not too shabby. He looked over at Saskue he was doing alright, he woke up about an hour before and seemed fine, but he didn't trust that curse mark not to kill him at any second.

"Hello there maggots." Anko jumped down from the rafters. "I'm a little disappointed that there's still this many of you, looks like we're getting soft."

"I thought we already got rid of you!" Naruto shouted stamping his foot.

"Ha! You wish! Your instructor for this portion of the exam came down with a cold, so I volunteered to fill in." She smirked. "If only to see Blondie here get stomped into the dirt."

Naruto growled. "I'll show you Blondie!" He rolled up his sleeve, he was ready to fight her right there and then."

"Down boy." She sent Naruto back into formation. "This round of the exams will be a simple one on one match up, use what ever tools you have at your disposal."

Saskue gave a cool smile. "If you don't go at them with the intention to kill you'll never win."

Anko nodded like a proud mother. "You are Kakashi's pupil. You and Yoroi stay down here everyone else get into the stands. Come on, come on, I'm not getting any younger!"

Kakashi waved his team up into the stands. "Kakashi!" Naruto shouted. "How're we doing? Are you impressed?"

Kakashi shrugged coolly. "Your doing as well as I would expect from my team." Though he would never tell him, he was immensely proud; Naruto had come along way from that kid he had tied to a log. "What do you know about his Yoroi kid?"

Naruto shifted uncomfortably, he knew that he was a Body guard for Oroch-Maru. "Nothing." He lied. "He's from the hidden leaf, but I've never seen him before."

"And his Sensei isn't here, is that strange?" Sakura added.

You could see thinking in that one eye. "For those punks from the Hidden Sound? No. But when the exams are behind held in your Village? Yes quite strange. You two be ready to jump out there with me, should something go wrong."

Naruto couldn't contain a giggle. "You think he's related to Shino? They have the same love for eyewear."

"That's pretty funny Naruto." A cold voice told him.

A Chill ran down Naruto's back. "Oh hey Shino." Naruto shuddered Shino was a pretty quite kid, but now in a shy way, like Hinata, in a creepy way, like Garaa. "I was just Joking you know."

"That's why I laughed."

Another chill ran down his spine, the idea of Shino laughing, horrifying.

"Hey Kurenai, congratulations for your students."

Kurenai smiled. "Thanks I'm very proud of them."

"H-hi Naruto ."

Another chill! But this time it was in a good way. "Hey Hinata, you, uh you did good out there."

"Thanks man!" Kiba shouted. He grabbed the back of Naruto's head and forced him to look at Saskue. "I know I'm not the only one who wants to see Saskue get curb stomped." He laughed and gave Naruto a friendly punch to the ribs. "Maybe that way we'll have a chance with Sakura!"

"Hey!" Sakura shouted indignantly.

"Now listen Naruto, you get paired up with Red over there." He pointed towards Garaa on the other side of the room. "Surrender, He is bad news, trust me. We crossed him in the forest on the way here." It was his turn to shudder. "I can never un-see what he did." He was solemn for a moment, but managed to shrug it off. "Of course you should give up no matter who you get paired up with!"

Sakura smacked the two of them in the head. "Will you shut up, they're starting!"

"Be quite, I can't here them punching each other!" Kiba scoffed. "OUCH!"

Anko looked between the two competitors, this Yoroi kid, the one with the Sunglasses something wasn't right about him, he was way to powerful to be just a genin, she felt bad for the Uchiha kid, going up against this guy was just bad luck. "Fight!" She shouted jumping up into the Rafters.

Yoroi blasted off like a rocket. You could see that his Gloves were his weapon just by the way they sparked with electricity, a close range fighter. You could see Saskue roll his eyes all the way from the stands. He brought out his revolver and blew a hole in Yoroi's knee. He stumbled and fell forward smearing his face along the ground as he slowly slid towards Saskue.

Saskue holstered his gun, and walked up into the stands.
