'ROOM!' Naruto yelled out as he panted. He was in a clearing training himself for what was to come.

Kakashi had just assembled the team for a meeting and told them thay he had entered them into the Chunin Exams. While on the outside he was indifferent, on the inside he was very intrigued and confused. Why would Kakashi send them in when they had been Genin for only a couple of months?

He didn't think they had that much experience but Kakashi is the leader so what he says goes. They had only been a few missions after their mission to The Wave and they weren't as dangerous. Mainly some trasport missions and they had to be body guards but no action on the missions besides the occasional bandits.

He continued to go threw his taijutsu katas while maintaining his 'ROOM'. Training with Guy-sensei and Rock Lee had really helped him physically and he could maintain a 55 yard in diameter 'ROOM' with little problems. He had been out here training for three hours straight.

He had to dodge a volley of shuriken that came from the treeline. He sighed as he knew his personal training was over as his new partner came out of the trees.

She was a young woman with fair skin. She had brown hair done up into buns with a little fringe hanging over her forehead protector and she had brown eyes. She was wearing a pink sleevless qipao-style blouse with dark green pants and blue ninja sandals. This was Tenten, his training partner.

He trained with her for a couple weeks. Their first meeting was amusing as she was shocked that he was going to be training with her after his demonstration in the store. She was literally shocked to get her out of her stupor and started to fuss over Naruto.

They had trained in weapons trying to expand on both of their arsenals. Tenten had shared her dream of being a great kunoichi to the likes of Tsunade and to show that not all female ninja were weak or feeble. Naruto, in turn, told her his dream of his dream to be Hokage.

"I see you're keeping sharp, huh, Naruto?" Tenten said with a smile while twirling a kunai around her finger. Naruto rolled his eyes and continued to go through his motions while Tenten sat and watched.

After a couple of minutes, Tenten decided to speak up, "So why are you training so long on your taijutsu? You are usually on your sword techniques."

Naruto looked in her direction with a small smile, "If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were just here to steal my sword style." He teased as she gained an embarrassed blush but shook her head to glared at him.

"Not funny."

"It is but to answer your question, Neji stopped by. He's usually an ass but he helped me a bit with my form I think. I want to give him a good spar some time to repay him for his help and maybe knock some sense into his head." He explained.

Tenten shook her head again, "Well that will pretty tough, Neji is prodigy and the Rookie of the Year of our class. He is really amazing with his family's taijutsu. He's almost unstoppable." She said dreamily as she talked about her pale eyed teammate.

"Wow, thanks for the confidence in me." Naruto deadpanned before he walked over to a tree and picked up his sword. "But every shinobi has their weakness, are you sure you aren't fangirling over your crush?" Naruto finished with a smirk and he felt the temperature drop a few degrees and it seemed as if the weather and suddenly changed as dark storm clouds gathered above them.

"What did you say?! You dare compare me to those damn excuses of kunoichi?!" She yelled out as she charged at him with her kunai now in a reverse grip. There was a clang of metal and her kunai was now battling for supremacy against his now drawn sword. This is usually how their sparring starts nowadays.

Naruto being naturally stronger than Tenten started to push her back to which she smirked. She slipped out another kunai and slashed at him. Naruto dodged but that's what she wanted as she could now use this to push back as he had stopped pushing. She gave a mighty push with her kunai knocking him back a bit and sent both of her kunai flying along with volley of shuriken.

Naruto, seeing the immenent danger coming towards him, decided to switch with a nearby log. Tenten eyes widened when Naruto vanished and a log was impaled instead of him.

"Are you sure you want to do this Tenten?" Naruto said on the other side of the field.

She pulled out a small scroll and smirked, "Yes. You must learn your lesson when you insult a lady and a kunoichi at that."

She unrolled her scroll and swung it across her body so the kanji for her seal faced Naruto. Tenten had a unique style of fighting which was essentially spamming ninja tools at her opponent and keeping them on the run before she moves in with a blade like her kunai or tanto for the kill. Her style works with her teammates as Rock Lee or Neji could move in behind the enemy to disable them.

Alone, her style wasn't as effective if her opponent had a lot of stamina or more speed than her. Even a ninjutsu specialist of any element could be a bad matchup. Naruto tried to make her understand but she wouldn't listen. He wanted to make his point today.

He sighed as he dodged the volley of hundred shuriken. She pulled out another scroll and swung it out like the first and this time spears with multiple blades came towards him and he dodged again. This went on for about a hour as Tenten had a multitude of weapons stored in her scrolls. Naruto had some trouble as she had grown clever in the last couple sessions as she started to attach some ninja wire to her weapons to control them after Naruto had thought he was clear.

Tenten was starting to get tired. "Why won't you stay still and let me hit you?!" She said irritably.

"I'm trying to teach you something." He said as stopped dodging her. Tenten see ing her chance rushed at Naruto. 'He has got to be tired after moving so much.' She though as she retrieved a kunai from her pouch. She rushed to strike at his neck but was stopped by his blade. She was getting back more than when they first clashed.

"What the hell? How are you not tired?!" She yelled out.

"Training with Guy and Lee really helped me out." He said nonchalantly. "You do understand you can't beat me right now."

Tenten's eyes narrowed dangerously, "You looking down on me because I'm a girl?!" She snarled as she tried to push him back but to no avail.

Naruto shook his head. "No. I am not looking down on you. I just want you to learn that fighting as you do now against ninjustu specialist or someone with more stamnia or speed than you will end up getting you killed."

Tenten gritted her teeth and tears gathered at the edges of her eyes, "What else am I supposed to do Naruto?! I don't have a clan or a sensei to teach me ninjutsu or genjutsu! My taijutsu is above average but nowhere near the level of Lee and Neji. I know a little fuinjutsu but even that was hard and self taught. The thing I'm the best at, bukijutsu, isn't effective apparently. I failed at medical ninjutsu so I can't even emulate my hero, Tsunade! What am I supposed to, stop being a kunoichi?!" She yelled out as she pushed everything she had against Naruto, who sheathed his sword unexpectedly and she fell into Naruto's embrace.

"I never meant to offend you, Tenten." He started softly, "I just don't want you to fall in battle because you weren't as effective as you could have been. If you want to learn some ninjutsu, I will help you. I can even help you further you sealing prowess too. And who says you can't become like Tsunade? Just because you failed once does not mean you should stop trying. Do you think Tsunade became a great medic over night? No, it takes blood, sweat, and tears." He looked down at her and saw the tears in her eyes. "Well you already have the tears down." He chuckled as he wiped the tears away as she giggled a bit. "All I wanted to say is maybe you should get diverse in your skill set."

"You'll help me?" She muttered.

Naruto smiled, "Yes. I don't know many jutsu but I have scrolls on elemental manipulations for the five basic elements. I also have some fuinjutsu books at my house but you could get some at the store as well. While I'm not a medic nin, I can be some help in learning about the body and how it functions. I can even perform some surgeries, if you need help witht that."

Tenten smiled, "I will accept ypur advice and I'll hold you to your word of training me. How low have I fallen to ask a fresh genin for training?" She asked herself dramatically but then she blinked as she realized something.

"How can you do surgeries? Your chakra control is absymal at best and you have to be pretty good at medic ninjutsu to be able to perform the Chakra Scapel." Tenten asked with narrowed eyes.

Naruto sighed, "Can you keep a secret?" He asked to which Tenten nodded.

"I ate a fruit that allows me to perform impossible operations. I'm the operation man." He explained and she looked at him with a deadpan expression.

"Really? Nice prank, Naruto. I thought you said you didn't do that anymore." She said as she glared at him.

"I'm not lying. I ate a fruit that gave me freaky powers." He tried to convince her but she wasn't buying it.

He sighed as held out his hand, "ROOM." He said as blue ring expanded from the middle of the clearing until it went roughly 50 yards around them.

"What is that?" Tenten asked as she saw the ring.

"This is my 'ROOM', it's one of the abilities that was given to me by the fruit. I control everything within this circle." Naruto explained. He flicked his finger up as multiple spikes of earth came out of the ground. He unsheathed his sword and swung it somewhat sloppily in the air.

"What are you doing, Naruto?" There was no form in his strokes, he looked like a fresh novice which she knew he wasn't. She was surprised when she saw the earth chunks cut into pieces and were levitating.

"W-What's going on?" She stuttered out.

"I told you, I control everything here. If I wanted to I could remove someone's heart while keeping them alive. The fruit I ate almost made me the perfect doctor. Of course, I still need medical knowledge but it's still a very useful ability." Naruto explained a bit.

"Why show and tell me this? If we see you in the Exams then we know your ability and can beat you." She stated.

He smiled over to her, "I believe you will keep this a secret. Besides no disrespect to you or your team but I doubt you could do anything to stop me."

She narrowed her eyes, "Is that an insult?"

"Think of it as a challenge." He smiled at her cheekily. "Now let's talk about a training schedule. We will start training after the Chunin Exams." Tenten nodded.

-Break-

Naruto was currently jumping through the Forest of Death. The second part of the exam had started only a few hours ago before they were ambushed. Naruto had been seperated from the group after someone had used a wind jutsu and blown him away.

He was then confronted by a huge snake that tried to eat him. He had been swallowed but he opened a 'ROOM' and sliced the snake open. He walked out of the snake and took off to find his teammates.

"Where the hell are those two? I am sure I was blown back from this direction." Naruto mumbled to himself.

He stopped when he sensed a very large chakra, too large to be any genin's. He took off with double the speed towards the chakra but as he got closer and closer an ominous feeling kept creeping over him.

"This is just like at the bridge with Zabuza."

He quickly shrugged off the feeling as he landed on a branch above a clearing where he saw his teammates facing off a single Grass nin.

'That guy...he isn't normal. He has way too much chakra for a regular genin and it feels so dark and twisted.' Naruto assessed in his head while not revealing himself yet.

"Kukuku, such fear in your eyes, Sasuke-kun. Where is that Uchiha power?" The mystery genin chuckled darkly.

Sasuke gritted his teeth at the shot to his Uchiha pride. He wanted to retort but even his Sharingan couldn't keep up with this guy. 'I am outmatched but if I give him the scroll, I can live and get stronger and beat this clown and Itachi.'

He pulled out their scroll and held it in front of him. "If I give you this scroll you'll leave us be." He said as he tossed the scroll over to the nin.

'What an idiot. He didn't even guarantee their safety.' Naruto thought as he saw the genin catch the scroll and slowly burn it with a fire manipulation and rushes towards Sasuke and engages him in taijutsu. 'Might as well reveal myself before this idiot gets himself killed.' He said as he jumped down from the tree branch and lands whilst catching Sasuke from impacting against a tree.

Sasuke looks at his savior and saw Naruto Uzumaki, the dead last, saving him. 'The dobe saving me, an Uchiha.' His mind just couldn't process the information.

"Looks like you could use some help." Naruto said as he put the Uchiha down and stared at the ninja across from them as Sakura ran over to check on her 'Sasuke-kun'.

'Naruto that is no genin. His chakra is too high for that. It is almost Kage level. Be careful.' His tenant warned.

"Tch. Whatever. I didn't need any help, dobe." Sasuke said as he shrugged off the doting Sakura and stood up.

The genin just smirked, "I thought that my summon would have killed you or at least kept you busy while I tested out Sasuke-kun for a while more."

"Yeah, that over grown worm wasn't much of a problem. However, you are a different story. You're chakra is too large to be a genin so who are you really?" Naruto asked.

"Kukuku, should you really be one to talk? With your 'burden' and those Uzumaki genes and your reserves are almost as high a seasoned jounin." He said slyly as Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"But your deduction skills impress me, especially for the class dead last. Who knew you were a sensor? Kuku."

Naruto was now on edge. This person had more information than a genin from a foreign village should have. 'How does he know about Kurama and placement in the class? And nobody even knows about the Uzumaki Clan nowadays. Who is this guy?'

Sasuke had enough of being ignored and charged forward, looking to put this commoner in his place. The 'commoner' smirked at the challenge and dodged all the strikes Sasuke sent out. Sasuke sent a punch towards his face but he parried and stuck out his own fist with lightning speed. Sasuke's eyes predicted the hot yet couldn't do anything about it. 'It's just like with the weird bowl cut guy earlier. I can see the hot but I can't stop them.'

"You disappointed me, Sasuke-kun. I would think you'd be better than this."

Sasuke flipped through some handseals that ends with 'Tiger'. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled out as he spewed flames from his mouth that barreled towards the enemy and engulfed him in the fire.

The genin moved out of the flame and looked down to see Sasuke gone and instead right in front of him. Sasuke kneed him in the face and his body went against his wishes and turned near horizontal and gravity took its toll as he began to fall head first to the ground.

Sasuke took this opportunity to wrap up the genin's legs with his arms and lock his head in place with his feet and piledrived him into the ground. The genin's head was shoved violently into the ground with his body falling limp onto the ground as Sasuke jumped away.

"Kyaaa! Sasuke-kun, you were amazing!" Sakura squealed out as she rushed over to her crush and started to fawn over him while he smirked.

Naruto, however, was not relaxing. He waa tense, waiting for something to happen. 'That guy's chakra just got cut in half. That means he is planning something big.'

Just as he finished his thought, the ground behind Sasuke and Sakura broke open and the nin's head came out and slithered over to Sasuke and sunk his teeth into the youth's neck.

"Aahhhhhhhh!" The Uchiha yelled out in pain as he went to grab his neck as the nin's neck and head retreated as soon as Naruto slashed at him with his sword.

"What did you do to him?!" Sakura yelled out as she looked over Sasuke, who had fallen down from the pain.

"I gave him a gift," he looked down to Sasuke. "You'll come to me for more power than the seal offers." He said as he went to retreat but was forced to dodge when a sword went flying above his head.

"I may hold no love for the Uchiha but I can't pass the exams without him so you're going to heal him now." Naruto growled out.

"Kukuku. A brat like you thinks he can order me around? Who do you think I am?"

"I would say a coward for hiding your true identity behind that mask."

"I don't like you but for appearances I will give you my name. You know me as Orochimaru of the Sannin." He said as he ripped the right side of his face to show a sickly pale gray complexion with a yellow eye and purple eye makeup.

Naruto's eyes widened at the name. Orochimaru chuckled as he dashed off into the forest.

Sasuke grunted in pain one last time as he collasped into unconsciousness, making Sakura cry out for his safety. Naruto sighed as he felt a headache coming on. He went behind Sakura and chopped her neck to send her to sleep.

He looked around for some kind of shelter, anything he made would have stuck out like a sore thumb. He saw a tree that looked to be hollowed out. He created a Shadow Clone and picked up his teammates to take shelter in the hollow tree base.

He created a clone and henged it into a rock to keep watch while he went to get some water. Sasuke sudden got a fever. When Naruto went to look at the bite, he didn't expect to a seal consisting of three tomoes. He figured that was the cause of the fever.

Naruto took to the trees, trying to find a river or water source. He heard a scream and rolled his eyes as he went towards the sound. Curse the hero within him.

He landed on a tree branch to see a redhead girl with glasses getting attacked by a huge bear. He leapt down as the bear went to bite at her. She moved out of the way and ran but tripped over a branch and fell as her glasses came off her face.

She waited for her life to be over and a claw or teeth to pierce her skin but was surprised when nothing came. She looked and saw a figure on top of the bear. He was bit blurry and then she remembered her glasses fell off her face.

She reached over and put her glasses onto her face and her vision started to clear up. She saw a young blonde with a black hoodie with orange trim on top of the bear. She looked down to the bear and saw that it was much calmer than before and looked tamed.

"Hmm so you got an Earth Scroll too?" The boy stated as he looked at what the girl was clutching in her hands. "You shoukd probably get out of the forest before something else comes along. If I recall right, you can't finish this test without your teammates." He said as he took off to leave

"W-Wait!" She called out as Naruto stopped and looked back to her. "W-What's your name?" She asked with a blush.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki." He answered with a small smile.

A look of shock appeared on her face, 'Uzumaki?! But Mama said they were all wiped out and he doesn't have red hair.'

She noticed Naruto looking at her expectantly, "U-Um sorry. What did you say?"

"I asked your name."

"Oh, Karin..Uzumaki."

She noticed Naruto's eyes widen a bit, "You're from the Uzumaki Clan?" He asked.

Karin nodded. "Have you been to the Land of Whirlpools?" She shook her head.

"You should go sometime. It has a lot of our clans history there." He suggested as he started to walk off.

'Land of Whirlpools, huh?' She thought as she watched him walk away.

Naruto had finally found a river and took out a canteen of water and filled it all the way up. He put it into a scroll and sealed it. He flipped through some handseals and slammed his hand onto the ground. There was a plume of smoke and out came Jan with a vest that said "Kuma" on the back and a necklace with a charm that looked like a hammer with a lightning bolt behind it.

"Hey, Naruto! You summoned me twice in a row without food!" Jan shouted out.

"I'm sorry, Jan. I needed you to talk to that bear so I wouldn't have to attack it. I summoned you now so we could catch some fish together." He said as he pointed to the river. Jan's eyes grew wide before she bounded over to the river and started to bite at the fish that jumped above the water.

He smiled at the young cub and went over next to her and started to grab at the fish. That was a mistake as the fish were too slippery and wriggled from his grasp.

Jan laughed, "No, you need stab them with your teeth or claws."

"Well sorry. I don't have claws or sharp teeth so I'll use my kunai, okay?" He asked as she nodded and went back to fishing happily. Naruto threw his kunai to impale any fish jumping out of the water and pinned them to the trees or the ground.

He collected ten of the fishes and gave four of them to Jan, who caught three by herself.

"Thanks, Naruto! These are delicious!"

"No problem, Jan. Anything for my partner." He said as he used a small fire jutsu to cook one of his fish but had to avoid a flurry of swipes from the young cub.

"What the heck, Jan?!" Naruto exclaimed as he held the struggling cub at arm's reach.

"You don't cook it, you just eat it raw. It's better that way!" Jan exclaimed as she kept trying to paw at Naruto's face.

"Jan, I can't eat it raw like you so stop trying to claw my face off." He said as he kept dodging her paws. She stopped in favor of pouting.

"Hmph. Fine but don't go cooking my fish, Naruto." She said as she turned her head and huffed.

Naruto sighed and smiled, "Fine. I won't cook your fish, Jan." He said but he stopped and looked into the forest.

Jan tilted her head, "What's wrong, Naruto?"

"Someone just walked onto my team's location. Apparently, Sakura woke up and tried to protect Sasuke but three on one aren't great odds."

"Well go help her!" Jan yelled out as she and her fish disappeared a plume of smoke.

Naruto stood there weighing the pros and cons of saving his teammates and ultimately came to the choice of saving them as he needed to pass this stage of the exams. He took off towards the clearing.

-End-

Hey its been a minute. Umm I didn't write the first part of the Exams because I just wasn't feeling that part. I also added in the part with Tenten because I hate fighting her on any of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games, all she does is spam her ninja tools and her ultimate technique is stupid.

So I think I have decided on who gets what Devil Fruits. I will let you know within the chapters though.

Please review.
