Today was the first day of the chunin exams, Hinata and Sakura decided they would walk together to the academy for the first part of the exam then they would split up to find their respective teams.

"Hey Hina-chan are you excited for today?" Sakura asked tiredly putting on her combat gloves.

"I'm nervous but I'll be fine." She replied smiling putting on her purple jacket. The two girls left after saying good-bye to the Hyuuga clan lord. They jumped through the roof to avoid crashing into people. Soon they arrived and found Naruto fighting with a certain Inuzuka boy.

"Naruto you still look weak. I'll beat you and become a chunin," Kiba smirked taunting the blond more. Naruto lifted his hand to punch the boy's face but Sakura had landed in front of them and caught his fist just in time. Her jade eyes traveled along Kiba then to Shino. They seemed to be shocked at her newfound confidence.

"Now, save it for the exams. We have to go in. See you later Hinata-chan!" Sakura said focusing her attention at the two then pulling both of her teammates into the building.

After climbing some stairs, the trio found a group of genins huddled by the door and two chunins punching one of them to the ground. Then tossing the poor boy back into his teammates' waiting arms.

"Pathetic," chunin #1 sneered.

"Let us in!"

"Please!"

"No, you need to beat us first before you can get through." Chunin #2 said coldly. Sakura looked at the crowd and found Neji, Tenten and Lee waiting by the door frustration written all over their faces.

"Tenten!" Sakura beamed waving at the bun haired girl, who walked towards her with a frown plastered on her face.

"What's wrong?" She asked her quietly.

"We've been waiting here for an hour they just won't let us through." Tenten replied looking at the two chunins watching the door. Sakura looked at her like she was weird.

"What? You don't see it?" she asked this time looking at the door.

"What Haruno?" Neji interjected coldly, using her old last name again. He knew that she still didn't want to make her secret public just yet.

"Geez Hyuuga you don't really see it?" Sakura taunted, which made Sasuke smirk wider and Naruto laugh out loud. She then turned to her teammates and asked; "You guys can see it right? I'm not the only one."

"DATTEBAYO! THERE'S A GENJUTSU HERE! NOW RELEASE IT AND LET US THROUGH!" Naruto yelled pointing at the two chunins. Sasuke smirked, while Sakura laughed at Neji's fallen cold demeanor.

"I guess the all seeing Byakugan can't really see through everything." She whispered next to his ear before passing him to make her way to the third floor. A few minutes later, they found Kakashi waiting for them outside the door. He gave the three an eye crease signaling him that he was proud. He grabbed Sakura and gave her a small hug then a kiss on her temple before he saying, "Good job, be careful and don't forget to use teamwork." And with those words he left in a cloud of leaves, leaving the three by the door.

"Naruto, Sasuke let's do our best and win together." Sakura beamed. Sasuke and Naruto nodded at her and held her hands in their own, squeezing it tightly.

The three opened the door to reveal a group of scary looking ninjas from everywhere. Sakura leaned on the wall and closed her eyes, Naruto went to talk to Hinata and Sasuke he was trying to pry Ino off of him.

"Sakura, a little help." He gritted out trying to get the pig off of him. Sakura opened one of her eyes, smirked then closed them again before grabbing Ino by the shirt and tossing her towards to Shikamaru, who caught her bridal style.

"WHAT THE HELL FOREHEAD!" Ino yelled. Shikamaru muttered a troublesome before putting Ino down gently.

Kabuto looked at the three and smiled. It was his time to make his move; he sauntered towards them with a fake smile plastered on his face. Sakura noticed his fake smile and shot him a glare.

"We don't want to talk to you, get out of my sight before I make you." She threatened; Kabuto managed a fake weak laugh before walking away. Neji saw this and smirked at the feisty girl.

"She is still pretty weak. But also strong." He thought scanning everyone in the crowd. Tenten saw her cold teammate's eyes land on Sakura then scanned the area again. She smiled inwardly and stored the little event in her head for future reference.

Ibiki finally walked in and explained the rules. The first test was a written exam and anyone who is caught cheating will be eliminated. Naruto gulped, but Sakura reassured him with a smile. Sasuke nodded at the two bidding them a silent goodluck then proceeded to his own seat. Sakura was put next to Neji, Naruto with Hinata, and Tenten with Sasuke. Sakura quickly jotted down the answers then turned her paper upside down and looked out the window to daydream but her peacefulness was interrupted when a small rolled up piece of paper hit her arm and jolting her back to Earth.

It read:

'What are you thinking about Haruno?'

'Oh so the great Hyuuga is trying to do small talk? Wow'

'Hn, you just seemed out of it.'

'Whatever why does it matter?'

'It doesn't I was curious. Your facial expressions keep shifting'

'So you're watching me now?'

'No, my Byakugan can see everything. You just happened to be part of everything' Sakura looked at the paper in disbelief then a she saw Neji smirk at her.

'Stop smirking or I'll stop it for you!' This time it was Sakura's turn to smirk when she threw the paper at his direction. Neji quickly wrote something before rolling it to Sakura.

'I'd like to see you try Sa-ku-ra' Sakura could clearly see that he was taunting her ability, but she couldn't do anything right now so she threw the piece of paper to Neji, without writing anything; thus, ending their conversation. Sakura sighed still looking out the window. She couldn't help but think that the silver haired ninja who tried to approach them was trouble waiting to happen. She shrugged it off, when Ibiki announced that everyone passed. Naruto cheered along with the other genins in the place.

"BOOM!"

A purple haired lady crashed through the window and grinned at them widely. She had dumplings on a stick in one hand while the other was rested on her hips.

"My name is Anko. I will be your proctor for the next part of the exam! Meet me at the Forest of Death Maggots!" and with that she left in a poof, making everyone sweatdrop. Team seven ran jumped out of the window to avoid using the stairs. Team Guy followed their example, but the others didn't.

"Sakura-chan I was soo scared I was going to fail!" Naruto said wide-eyed as the three continued to run towards the forest.

"Dobe,"

"Shut up Teme!" he yelled ignoring that disapproving looks that everyone gave the two. Sakura sighed tiredly; she really hoped they would stop arguing.

"NARUTO! SASUKE! LETS RACE THE LAST ONE THERE WILL DO 500 PUSHUPS!" Lee challenged the two. Sooner or later all Sakura, Tenten and Neji could see was a cloud of dust in front of them.

"Kami someone save me," Sakura grumbled. Tenten laughed, while Neji smirked stealing quick glances at the pink haired genin. Suddenly a fire erupted near the stadium and the Hokage was seen fighting a figure. Giant snakes were attacking the village, destroying everything in their path. Screams covered the air and every ninja leaped into action.
