New chapter so yay… Anyway, I just wanted to clear up on how or more importantly what Sasame did to Naruto while he was unconscious… So what happened was… Naruto got a haircut similar to the fourth hokage's and that was it. There was no "torture" on Sasame's part, and if you want to go into the whole "she punched him for no reason" who do we know who does that to Naruto on a whim? Right, Sakura. It was a single hit ladies and gents, not the reincarnation of Sakura. So chill a bit.

But, to add onto why exactly I had Naruto "ignore" most of the stuff happening to him by his team, two of which, Sasame and Satsuki, he is friends with and their sensei, who just pops up whenever, I personally would think that Naruto wouldn't be all that effected from their behaviour.

But that is probably my own view since I am quite a bit… Jaded in the way that once I have dealt with something, whenever I see that something happen a second time I usually… Get bored of it and not make much a fuss about it. A good example was when I broke my ankle… three times I think? The first, I shat myself and whined about it…. After finishing soccer training without any knowledge that I broke it beforehand.

Hint. NEVER do a five kilometre jog with a broken ankle. And yes, I was stupid and stubborn enough to do the job with a broken ankle before I went to the hospital to get it checked up before being alerted that I had indeed broken my ankle.

But after that experience, I became jaded to it in a way that when I broke my ankle for the second time I didn't really feel… Anything… When it happened, sure the pain was there, but I didn't notice it as much as I should have. At most, it felt mildly discomforting. Which is sort of why I believe after Naruto, the one I created, had dealt with his two friends and their sensei for over a month, he wouldn't be all that affected from their shenanigans.

But yeah, my point of view.

1: Healing factor and its use in training.

A: Currently, I want Naruto unaware in the regards that his body would heal all the damages caused from training, thus strengthening his body if he was to use its healing capabilities to the max, to a point where he could be kage level in speed or strength in a few days using some… imaginative ways (1000 ton weights for a few days would work). However, that doesn't mean I won't be having Naruto use his healing to his advantage later on for what I have planned. So yeah… You just gotta wait a bit for Naruto to find and "realise" what he could achieve through his regeneration.

There is also the fact that I mentioned that his healing factor will strengthen itself with time. So that also goes into the equation.

2: Will Iwa target Naruto since his similarities between himself and Minato?

Narrowing his eyes. Naruto couldn't help but send his gaze directly towards his roommates as they began to listen towards the illustrious "Itachi Uchiha" of the Uchiha clan. Second to none, including the shunshin no Shisui of the Uchiha clan.

Now, call him paranoid, but he didn't like where this was heading… And it wasn't even three minutes in since Itachi had announced his presence along with their task… A simple written test with the rules of not allowing to cheat.

Something was definitely wrong.

They, the hokage and chunin exam organisers, wouldn't have wasted the time of a valued shinobi to host the first part of the chunin exams for a simple written test.

Of course, there was always the whole chance factor that comes in saying that Itachi may have been simply on hand and all.

There was also the possible reason being that Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, was participating within the exam.

But that also brought a problem as family members usually would help their younger or older siblings out with their own test discreetly in some form or another.

"Student 132. You and your team are out." Spoke Itachi in a monotone voice, breaking Naruto's attention away from his inner monolog as he glanced towards a Suna shinobi who was now sweeting slightly from the glares coming from two different directions.

….

….

Weren't his teammates both behind the caught Suna ninja?

THUD

Snapping his attention once more, Naruto gave a small narrowed gaze towards the sight of a Mist shinobi jumping back in fear as a kunai landed directly between his legs.

"Student number 185. You and your teams are out." Spoke Itachi once more, his tone exactly the same as the original time he spoke.

Tearing his eyes away from the spooked Mizu shinobi, Naruto glanced down towards the kunai that had been thrown with a critical eye.

Something was wrong… He just needed to figure out what…

And like that, Naruto widened his eyes as the pieces began to fall into place around him.

Voice near identical, no perfectly identical, to the original sentence first said. Misplacement of teammates…

Keeping his eyes trained on the kunai, Naruto glared towards the single irregularity of the supposed weapon…

The lack of any shadow.

Suddenly, Naruto felt a small buzzing at the back of his neck before shrugging it off, finding that the buzzing was slowly getting stronger as the seconds went by.

Shaking his head, Naruto moved his hands up into a single handsign before shutting his eyes.

Feeling his chakra circulating within his body once more, Naruto snapped his eyes wide open as he screamed a quick "Kai!" internally, sending a torrent of his own energy through his body and causing the surroundings to suddenly crack before shattering entirely.

And once the surrounding were shown, Naruto widened his eyes as he came upon the sight of numerous amounts of fellow genin scattered around a small clearing, each having been in a similar illusion as his own before catching sight of Team 7 dashing off.

Shaking his head to get his focus back, Naruto looked down towards his arms where he saw a long barb of ninja wire wrapping his wrists before seeing a small note on top of his immobile hands.

"First Phase: Find Itachi Uchiha. You have until sunset."

Widening his eyes as he sent a look towards the sky, finding out the time to be around that of 3:15, Naruto quickly sent a quick surge of wind chakra to his wrists before pulling apart the ninja wire, mentally giving a quick scream of pain when the uncontrolled wind chakra sliced both his wrists and hands, before sending his gaze towards the knocked out genin with a critical eye.

He had to find his teammates quick.

Not a few moments later did Naruto catch the sight of his two teammates, who were still under the genjutsu, leaning against each other with a small bit of drool running down both their chins.

…

…

If only he had a camera….

Shaking his head once more, Naruto walked towards his two partners before sending a quick surge of his own chakra into the two, causing them to suddenly jolt awake as they sent their eyes around the clearing in a frenzy before finally locking their eyes against Naruto's own deep red ones.

Tilting her head, Satsuki gave a hard blink before turning her head towards Sasame.

"Where are we? Weren't we taking the chunin exams just then?" Asked Satsuki, causing Sasame, who had also woken up, to give a small nod of her head in agreement.

At this, Naruto could only give the two a small deadpan stare before mentally smacking himself at the fact that the two of them constantly placed genjutsu's on him, but didn't know how to realise they were in a genjutsu themselves.

Pulling a kunai from his back pouch, Naruto quickly cut the ninja wires wrapped around both Sasame's and Satsuki's wrists before getting them up to speed.

The two nodded before giving each other a small glance.

"We should split up. We could cover more ground this way." Muttered Satsuki as she sent a look up towards the sky, identifying that it was 3:16 before sending her eyes towards her friends, who seemed to have different opinions in the matter.

It seemed that Sasame was agreeing with her thought while Naruto seemed to be a bit more… Reluctant revolving around the matter.

Shaking his head, Naruto seemed to give his own input before a sudden tingle appear at the base of his neck once more.

Seeing as how Naruto seemed to go quite, Satsuki sent Sasame and Naruto a nod before disappearing within a burst of smoke as she used the shunshin to move away, soon followed by Sasame as she too left within a cloud of smoke.

Naruto seemed to notice this just as soon as the two disappeared within their separate clouds of smoke before giving an irritated groan as his neck now started to buzz in mild pain as the seconds seemed to go by.

Gritting his teeth in slight agony, Naruto began to trudge his way towards forest with his hand gripping onto the back of his neck.

"W-w-wha-what t-th-the he-heck i-i-i-is u-u-up wi-with m-m-my GAH!" Screamed Naruto mentally as his neck seemed to lit itself on fire as the buzzing pain began to now burn with a fury equal to that of a great fire annihilation that Madara Uchiha himself had made.

Dropping onto the ground, Naruto let out a small scream as his neck burned more furiously before slowly subduing itself within a matter of minutes.

Twisting himself over and falling onto his back, Naruto could only keep his now barely functioning eyes up towards the sky for a few seconds before passing out, his pain causing his own brain to knock itself out as a way of recovering at a faster rate.

Slowly shutting his eyes, Naruto couldn't help but stare up towards the sun before shutting his eyes and embracing the darkness…

…

…

"GAH!" Screamed Naruto as his eyes suddenly snapped open, showing the black haired shinobi the sights of his original chunin exam classroom before looking towards the board with a narrowed glare.

"All Chunin exam combatants must meet at the top of the hokage monument once they have escaped the triple layered sharingan enhanced genjutsu before sundown- Itachi Uchiha"

"Triple layered genjutsu?" Thought Naruto with a small narrowed gaze before raising his hands up towards his chest.

"Kai." Nothing.

"Kai!" Nothing none more.

Looking down towards his hands, Naruto noticed the odd signs of nothing being shattered or released around him.

Once more sending his eyes around, Naruto released a small sigh of release as he noticed that most, if not all, the chunin exam participants were still asleep on their desks.

Glancing out towards the window, Naruto widened his eyes in shock as the sight of a somewhat low sun coming down across the horizon.

Snapping his head towards the spots where his teammates were supposed to be, Naruto quickly summoned a kage bunshin before rushing towards Satsuki and picking her up over his shoulder and running out of the room, his kage bunshin doing the same to Sasame as they escaped the building and into the courtyard.

Surging his chakra throughout his teammate's bodies, Naruto continued to sprint towards the hokage statue before using his chakra to stick onto the side of the wall.

Sure he could use the steps, but they were quite a distance away from the academy.

Pushing chakra through his legs, Naruto began to sprit up the wall with sweat pouring down his face as he carried his teammate up the side of a mountain, drawing the attention of those who had been out.

It hadn't taken more than five minutes before he managed to scale the side of the cliff and land onto the monument head where he then caught the sight of eighteen other teams all waiting with their jonin sensei's on hand.

"Hey brat!" Came the shout of an obnoxious voice towards his right, causing him to gain a twitching eye as he caught sight of Anko happily waving her hand towards him and his teammates with a dango stick hanging out of her mouth.

Gaining a small fake smile, Naruto shifted Satsuki slightly so that he could wave his own hand towards her.

"Hey Anko-san." Relied Naruto, causing the purplette to give him a small narrowed glance before moving over towards him and wrapping a hand around his neck before dragging him towards the rest of the competitors.

"Pay up Kakashi! My brats did make it past the first stage!" Shouted Anko with a grin on her face as she moved her team towards Kakashi, who had a small irritated look on his face as he pulled a few ryo notes from the back of his pocket before handing them over towards Anko, who had sent him an even larger grin.

"Thanks Brat. Now I can go buy some more dango's while I wait for the first phase to finish itself… Oh… You might also want to let Satsuki and Sasame stand up since they are awake." Spoke Anko with her grin firmly in place as she disappeared within a surge of smoke.

Naruto simply turned his head towards Satsuki, who was now staring at him with a cheeky grin, before simply letting his right arm sag, sending the woman onto the ground in a thud, which was then accompanied by another thud and a "pop" as Sasame punched his clone in the face.

Sending both Satsuki a small irritated look, Naruto sent his gaze towards the slowly fading sun before releasing a huff in irritation before closing his eyes.

It just wasn't his day today.

End. Hope you enjoyed it.
