Hey everyone, glad the previous chapter was well liked, thanks for that. Anyway, without any further ado, let's continue with the story.
1: Make this harem.
A: I hope that you all know that I'm not even thinking of who to pair Naruto with at all right? So don't worry about harem and all until later on when Naruto actually has some bonds with characters, as I have started doing. But either way, we will all see how things turn up later on in the story.

"The chunin exams? What about them?" Asked Naruto as he absentmindedly scratched the back of his head in curiosity.
I mean, it had been a while since anyone's made a comment about the chunin exams for a while, so his sensei appearing out of nowhere and wanting to talk about it seemed kinda odd for him.
Yamato took a small sip of the cup in front of him, internally thankful to Satsuki, who he had just met a few moments prior when he had entered his students, and apparently Satsuki's, home.
"Yes. Anyway Naruto. About the chunin exams… Are you sure you want to compete within them all by yourself? I know it's rather sudden that I appeared now and am telling you this when I had previously fully supported you with the chunin exam endeavour… But while I have been doing some certain… Tasks… I find myself thinking that it would benefit you to miss out the current exam and wait six months for the next exams. The competition… Is a lot different from a regular exam…" Muttered Yamato in a quite tone as he stared towards his student with a serious gaze.
Raising an eyebrow, Naruto tilted his head slightly.
"What do you mean it's a lot different from a regular exam? I know that the chunin exams are all different each time they are held, but from the way you're saying the exam being different… I'm curious as to what you mean sensei." Replied Naruto in a curious tone, already formulating possible answers from his own head.
However, before Yamato could answer the young teen, it seemed that Satsuki had beaten him to the punch as she threw her arms around Naruto's neck in a joyful fashion.
"What he means Naru is that this year there will be heaps of tough opponents and he isn't sure that working all alone for the exams is a good idea… So why don't you join me and my friends group? Were short one member and Sasame is a stick in the mud sometimes and I'm sure with both me and you there we can finally get the stick up her ass to release itself from her. What do you say?" Asked Satsuki with a grin as she rubbed her cheek against Naruto's own, causing Yamato to send his student a small cheeky grin, which was returned with a blank deadpan stare from Naruto as he returned his focus onto his once teacher.
"So what you're saying is that with all these strong opponents… I shouldn't go at this all alone and instead find a group that I could join to take the exams Yamato-sensei?" Asked Naruto in a somewhat serious tone, gaining a small but stiff nod from Yamato as he sat across from his previous student.
"It's as your friend there said Naruto. This chunin exam is somewhat… Different… From a usual one. In fact, to be frank, I would prefer you to miss the exams completely due to the risk of the exam…. But I know you wouldn't do that so I would like for you to at least join another squad, and seeing as how you're friend there offered… It would just make it a little bit easier on me to know that you have people to watch your back. Can you do that for me Naruto?" Asked Yamato in a sincere tone, causing the black haired ninja to nod his head slightly before giving a small thumbs up to his former teacher.
"Sure Yamato-sensei, I guess I'll join a team for the chunin exams. Thanks for the little bout of information… But… Out of curiosity… Who is likely to be joining the chunin exams to get you so spooked?" Asked Naruto once more, drawing Satsuki's attention from Naruto's cheek to Yamato as he simply sat within his seat in a thinking position.
It wasn't long however before Yamato began to release a small sigh and look towards his old student.
"I'm sorry to say but I can't reveal the information to you Naruto. This was just a small heads up to help you when the time came for the chunin exams… Either way, I believe it's my time to leave. I have a few… "Errands" to finish up before the day ends… Once more, thank you for listening to my concerns Naruto." Replied Yamato with a small smile, which had gained him one in return from both Naruto and Satsuki, who had returned to rubbing her cheeky slightly against her friend's one, something which had barely fazed Naruto as he didn't even bother resisting his friends touch.
Standing up and giving his student a small wave, Yamato disappeared within a cloud of smoke, something that irritated Naruto as he watched some leaves also fall onto the floor where his sensei once was.
Shaking his head slightly, Naruto turned his attention towards his friend, who had continued her rubbing, before clearing his throat slightly.
"So Satsuki, I guess I'm thankful for the invitation you had given me, but I am curious as to how you have another teammate as I was sure Anko had only apprenticed you… So who is the other member you talked about?" Questioned Naruto with a tilt of his head, only to lean his head back slightly as Satsuki moved her face in front of his own before letting out a large grin.
"Oh Sasame-chan and I go way back… About three months or so ago… It was during a mission that both Sasame and I had been assigned to that I got to know her, and for some reason we just seemed to you know… "Click" as friends and since then, whenever I'm not with my sensei I usually hangout with her due to a certain someone" que small glare "who decided to forget about his childhood cuddle buddy and focus on training himself without even seeing me once… But back on course, I and Satsuki eventually became an un-official team dubbed "ravens" due to our black hair… Yeah, don't ask why or who came up with that title… Even I don't know who it was." Replied Satsuki with a small blush as she idly remembered some genin asking them for a raven summoning contract since he thought that their team name actually stood for their summons…
Yeah… That genin was very disappointed when he was told exactly why they were called "ravens" as their team name.
As Satsuki came to a finish, Naruto could only hold back his slowly forming grin as he listened towards Satsuki's tale about her and Sasame and their team formation. Even he had to admit that it was quite hilarious due to the fact that everything within the story just seemed to follow after each other like events within a game.
Oh well, he could worry about that later as he pushed himself up, which also brought Satsuki into a stand as she had continued to cling onto his neck during their entire talk.
Shaking off the slight bit of Irritation from Satsuki's clinginess, Naruto began to walk towards the front of their apartment before turning his head slightly towards Satsuki.
"So where would Sasame be exactly? I mean… I should get to know my teammates right?" Asked Naruto in a soft tone, getting a small hum from Satsuki as she nodded her head in agreement.
"You do have a good point Naru… Ok… Sasame-chan would most likely be at Ichiraku ramen." Replied Satsuki, causing the black haired teen to stare blankly at his companion.
"Do you seriously believe me to fall for your "Someone important is at Ichiraku's and we have to quickly get there." Schemes Satsuki? I mean, you do realise that you had constantly did that to me as a kid so why would I fall for it again as a more mature teen?" Asked Naruto rhetorically, causing his passenger to blink in confusion.
"But she probably is there Naru… You just have to trust me on this." Returned Satsuki, causing the black haired teen to release a small sigh before walking towards Ichiraku's, not even bothering to question Satsuki any further.
(Ichiraku Stand)
"Did you really need to ride on my back the entire trip? I had thought that you would have gotten off at some point on the trip, which was the reason why I had left you riding on my back." Spoke Naruto, his tone in a slightly bland tone as he stared towards the infamous Ichiraku ramen shack, said to feed those of legends and gods…
Yeah ok, you got him when he knew that was complete and utter bull. But some had indeed believed that as the famous fourth hokage and his family regularly ate out in the very shack he was heading towards.
Oh well, whatever floats people's boats.
Shaking his head slightly, Naruto returned to the world of the living as he tilted his head up slightly before releasing a small sigh.
"-Is why I didn't hop off your back. Understand now Naru?" Finished Satsuki with a proud tone easily being shown off as she laid her chin down on the top of Naruto's head with a grin.
…..
…..
…..
"Did you say something Satsuki?" Asked Naruto in a curious tone.
Suddenly, it seemed as if time itself had stopped itself as the world seemed to freeze into a picture. The once loud voices of merchants and shop owners went silent, children's laugher screeched to a halt. And Satsuki?
She simply stared towards Naruto as if he confessed to destroying the world with 100% conviction.
"I HAVE A SON!" Came out a random shout towards the furthest side of the village.
Blinking at the odd voice, Naruto turned his attention back towards Satsuki before tilting his head once more.
"What?" Asked Naruto, causing Satsuki to snap herself out of her shocked state.
Giving the black haired teen a glare, Satsuki wrapped her arms around Naruto before bitting down on his ear, causing the teen to let out a small girlish squeal as he attempted to get Satsuki off his ear without it being yanked off.
Thankfully for Naruto, his distraction came from a bored sounding voice towards his right.
"Satsuki… Why are you biting someone's ear off?" Asked the bored tone, causing both Naruto and Satsuki to turn their heads towards the voices origin.
It was safe to say that Naruto was slightly shocked as he came upon the sight of who he supposed was Satsuki's team mate Sasame.
The teenage girl herself was somewhat tall, just being under his own height by an inch or two. She, like both he and his friend, had black flowing like hair that reached just above her hips along with two long bangs that reached her collar bones, easily passing the two cobalt blue eyes that had a slight shine to them….
Although… The bored look Sasame did show off did put the shine down slightly…
Forgetting that Satsuki was still strangling him and bitting his ear, Naruto gave the raven haired woman in front of him a small wave and grin.
"Hey there. Names Naruto. Satsuki-chan here invited me to join your chunin exam group next month… So… Yeah… Hi…" Muttered Naruto softly towards the end, his initial thoughts trailing off at the sight of Sasame's bored looking stare.
A few seconds later however, Naruto felt much… MUCH… More freaked out slightly as Sasame moved her face to stare at him from a few centimetres apart.
And when she did… Naruto couldn't help but imagine a lioness judging whether or not to either eat its current prey, or leave it alone to live another day…
Oh god this chick's stare was scary.
However, Naruto soon let out a sigh of relief when he watched as Satsuki, who had finally stopped bitting his ear, let out a small slap on the top of Sasame's head, causing the raven haired woman to let up on her blank stare.
Satsuki might have not realised this, but Naruto was now willing to have sex with her if she would request it right then and there…
Good thing Naruto kept that within his head otherwise he might actually have been raped…
"So whatcha think Sasame-chan? Is Naru good enough to join?" Asked Satsuki as her head laid against Naruto's shoulder with a grin, causing the now slightly less scary ravenette to nod.
"Yes… He will do I suppose… But you know what that means now right?" Asked Sasame, gaining a nod from Satsuki as she rubbed her cheek against Naruto's own before moving her head towards Naruto's ear.
"….Team… Training…." Was the mutter Satsuki whispered into Naruto's ear, causing the red eyed teen to tilt his head slightly in confusion.
"Training?"
Short I know, just enjoy as much of this as you can. Sorry for the short chapter and all, Laters.
