Chapter 19: The Chuunin Exams
Naruto came out of his bedroom and saw that none of the three girls were awake, judging from the silence. Also, the silence of his mindscape tells him that his tenants are also resting, which kind of made Naruto wonder, how could Kel'Thuzad, an undead archlich, rest? In any case, he wanted to make the most of it and he went over to the kitchen and decided to cook breakfast: bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast.
A few minutes later, the doors opened and it showed Haku, Kyuubi and Mikoto in nightgowns. Naruto blushed and immediately turned away.
Haku sniffed the air. "Wow, it smells good. Did you cook this, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto, while his back was turned, scratched the back of his head. "Well, yes, I did."
Mikoto said, "Wow, you never told us you could cook."
"Well, I'm still new at this cooking thing and I might mess up or something."
Kyuubi replied, "Nonsense, Naruto-kun, I'm sure your cooking would be fine." Then, she noticed something. "Why are you turning your back on us?"
Naruto nervously replied, "Um, well…"
Haku said, "We're wearing our nightgowns and you're afraid that you will not be able to control your urges and you'll ravish us until we faint from pleasure?" She finished that with a devious smirk.
Kyuubi had a teasing grin. "Oh, so that's it, Naruto-kun?"
Naruto replied, "N-no! That's not it!"
Then, he felt something soft bump against his back. "Ooh, then, why are you turning red, Naruto-kun?" Mikoto asked.
Naruto replied, "Um, uh…" The three girls laughed.
Haku giggled. "I was kidding, Naruto-kun. We know that you're just giving us our needed modesty and privacy. Well, we don't mind if you look at us while in nightgowns, Naruto-kun."
Naruto replied, "But, you still need your privacy and modesty."
Kyuubi interjected, "And she said that we don't mind, Naruto-kun. After all, you already have proven your sincerity to us."
Naruto took a deep breath and turned around. When he saw them, he turned red. "Um, the nightgowns look good on you."
Mikoto smiled. "Why, thank you, Naruto-kun. See? We don't mind."
Naruto slowly grinned and said, "Well, um, I hope you like the food.
After the meal, Kyuubi, Haku, and Mikoto said, in unison, "That was wonderful, Naruto-kun."
Naruto blushed and said a word of thanks to them (also to Kami that his tenants woke up just right after they finished their meal, not before the meal as Kushina would probably throw a fit) before he remembered that he's supposed to be going to the Chuunin Exams.
Haku said, "I'm coming, too. I was asked by Hokage-sama to accompany some guy named Morino Ibiki for the Chuunin Exams."
Mikoto asked, "Morino Ibiki, the head of the IT division?"
Haku shrugged. "That's what I heard."
Naruto asked, "Wait, what's this about an Ibiki and IT division?"
Mikoto smiled mysteriously. "Wouldn't you like to know, Naruto-kun? However, as Hokage-sama has informed me, Haku-chan, and Kyuubi-san with this and not you, I'm afraid, this might spoil the surprise. So, anyway, Haku-chan will accompany Ibiki-san; I, as clan head, will watch the progression of the Exams; and Kyuubi-san will also watch the progression."
Naruto pouted before smiling. "Oh, well. I might as well find out for myself. In any case, that's settled. All of us are leaving. However, upon setting one foot outside, we will shunshin immediately, as to not arouse suspicion."
The three girls said, "Agreed."
With that, they cleaned their plates, left the house, made sure it was locked and immediately used shunshin.
Naruto appeared in front of the building that was supposed to be used for the Chuunin Exams. He saw Team 7 walk right behind him.
The team glared at him but Naruto didn't care. He just entered the building with Team in tow.
After they got through two floors, they saw that a bunch of genin are huddled up to a place where two 'genins' are stationed. Above, the sign on the door said '301'.
"What the hell are you doing? Let us in!" One genin said.
"Yeah!" Another shouted.
Naruto shook his head. Idiots, they don't even know that they're in a genjutsu.
Minato sighed in disappointment. Clearly, the academy's standards have been lowered since my death.
Don't worry, Minato. It's not your fault. Arthas told him.
Naruto was just about to go to the next floor when Sasuke approached the two genin blocking the door and demanded to release the genjutsu.
Every one of Naruto's tenants, plus Naruto himself, slapped their heads, in Naruto's head.
How thick could that idiot get? Arthas asked.
Kushina sighed in frustration. Clearly, he takes from his father. He always wants to get into the spotlight.
Kel'Thuzad asked, Young king, do you want me to permanently end this fools life? He's an insult to everything you ninjas stand for.
No, don't kill him, yet, Kel'Thuzad-san. I can't have Mikoto-chan being the only Uchiha in Konoha as breeding stock. Besides, he might have of some us to us, sooner or later.
…very well.
After the two 'genins' kick the ass out of Sasuke, they moved over to the next floor.
"It has been a long time, Naruto-san." A male, near monotonous voice said. Naruto's eyes widened and his head snapped to the source and he saw Neji with two other individuals.
"Neji, it's good to see you." Naruto said to him and reached out his hand to shake it. Neji accepted it. "How are things going on at the Hyuuga clan?"
Neji shrugged. "It's just as it always is."
Naruto replied, "I see."
Then, Neji's girl teammate went over to him. "Do you know Neji?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "And you are?"
"I am Tenten. Now, answer my question."
Naruto replied, "I know him because I have been visiting the Hyuuga clan every now and then."
Sakura scoffed. "Yeah, right; there's no way that you could have been accepted by the Hyuugas. You're of no royal stature."
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Believe what you will. It's true."
Kiba told her, "It's true, Sakura. I saw him going into the Hyuuga clan household."
Sakura huffed. "That's probably an illusion. I can't believe you fell for it."
Naruto tsked. "Whatever."
Then, a guy with bowl-cut hair stepped over to Naruto. "What's your name?"
Naruto replied, "I am Uzumaki Naruto. And you are?" He missed Tentent's widening of eyes.
"I am Rock Lee. Would you like to spar?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "When?"
"Right now."
"What's the occasion?" Naruto asked.
Rock Lee replied, "There's no occasion. I just want to test your Flames of Youth!" He had fires in his eyes.
Minato chuckled. Now, I remember who he acts like. He's like a mini-Gai.
Kushina giggled. Maito Gai; Kakashi's self-proclaimed rival that shouts about Flames of Youth?
That's the one. If I remember correctly, Gai's a great taijutsu user, so, this Lee might have gained his expertise. Naruto, this might be a good experience for you. Accept his request.
Naruto smiled. "Very well, I accept your request."
Lee grinned, showing off his white teeth. "Yosh! I hope that we will have a very youthful fight!"
Naruto said, "Lead the way." Lee led him, along with his team and Team 7, who wanted to see Lee kick Naruto's ass, to a barren lobby.
Naruto asked Lee, "What are the rules?"
Lee replied, "We use taijutsu only, no ninjutsu or genjutsu. Well, you don't use ninjutsu or genjutsu in this spar as I can only taijutsu."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "So, you're chakra coils aren't that much developed for ninjutsu and genjutsu usage. I understand." He assumed his stance. He bent his knees like the horse stance. Also, he put both his hands out with his palms facing him; the Minami Kamakiri stance.
Lee got interested as he had never seen this stance. He assumed his own Goken stance.
They stared each other down until Lee seemingly disappeared from Naruto's sight and reappeared right in front of him, aiming a kick at his head using his right leg. Naruto elegantly raised his left arm to block the kick. Naruto mentally frowned. That was a powerful kick. He put his right foot forward and thrust his right arm to his torso, full force, and sent him backwards. He assumed his stance again just as Lee recovered.
He charged again and zoomed right behind him with a punch to his jaw via right fist. Naruto quickly turned around put up his left hand and held his fist in it. Naruto closed his right hand into a fist and punched Lee right in the jaw, sending him flying. Naruto returned to his stance.
Lee got back up and zoomed to Naruto. He's good. I might have to resort to that technique. Here I go…
Lee made for a punch at his face. Naruto made to intercept it. However, Lee feinted and he went into Naruto's guard and went for an uppercut sending him flying.
With the spectators
Tenten asked, "He really isn't going to resort to that, is he?"
Neji didn't reply but just kept on watching.
Kiba smirked. "Well, he wasn't so tough, after all."
Sasuke frowned. I couldn't copy Uzumaki's moves but perhaps this Rock Lee would be helpful.
Back to Naruto
Naruto already reached his highest point in the air when he felt someone behind him. It was Lee. Naruto was about to turn around, however, Lee stopped him by wrapping his arms around and sent him, along with himself, zooming to the ground. Lee was just about to finish the move until…
"LEE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" A booming voice shouted. Then, Lee let go of Naruto and landed on the floor on his feet. Naruto just fell on his butt.
With the spectators
Sakura shouted, "Hey, it was just getting good!"
Neji sighed. "Here we go again."
Team 7 looked at him and returned to watching the fight.
Back to Naruto
Naruto dropped to the floor and looked up to see Rock Lee getting berated by a turtle. He blinked.
Okay, this is weird.
The turtle told Lee, "You do know that that move is forbidden, don't you?"
Lee meekly nodded.
"Good, now wait for a little while. Your sensei will be here shortly."
Then, a figure appeared on top of the turtle. It was an older version of Lee and he was doing some sort of absurd pose.
Naruto thought, Let me guess: this is the Gai that you guys were talking about?
Minato nodded. Yep. That's Maito Gai. Not much has changed about him except for the flak jacket and he got older.
Gai took a deep breath and, surprisingly, punched Lee as punishment for trying to use the forbidden technique. Then, they started to call each others' names and they hugged each other. Then, Neji and Tenten appeared beside them.
Tenten said, "Alright, alright, sensei, that's enough hugging. We gotta get to the Chuunin Exams."
Gai said, "Oh! Yes, I remember!" Then, he noticed Naruto, who was wearing a bored expression on his face. "And you must be the youth that fought with my Lee, huh?"
Naruto replied, "Yes, why do you ask?"
Gai responded, "Oh, no particular reason. I just wanted to ask." He took a good look at him. "You…aren't you the genin that was in a one-man team?" He asked, surprising his students along with the turtle.
Naruto nodded. "Yes."
Lee asked, "That's not possible. There hasn't been any record of a genin in a one-man team."
Naruto replied, "I have proven myself to ojii-san that I'm capable of defending myself."
Gai said, "Ah, yes, I've heard of that. You battle against Hokage-sama in a one-on-one battle, did you not?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well, he wasn't even trying when he battled. He is the Kami no Shinobi for a reason."
Gai immediately appeared in front of him, much to Naruto's shock at his speed, and patted him on the shoulder, hard. Naruto tried not to wince at the pain. "In any case, if you're looking for a sparring partner, Naruto-san, don't hesitate to ask me, Maito Gai, or my student, Lee. We'd be more than happy to spread the Flames of Youth to more younglings."
Naruto smiled. "Thank you, Gai-sensei."
Then, the bell rang, signifying that all genins were supposed to enter the exam room now.
"Ah, there's the bell." Gai said. "Remember, Naruto-san, just ask and we'll help you train."
Naruto smiled. "I appreciate it." Then, he jumped high to where Team 7 was and ran off to the exam room, just before Team 7 could ask him about anything.
Naruto entered the room and found various people from various villages in it. He sensed Ichibi no Shukaku's chakra and found Gaara and his team in one corner of the room. He also sensed another demonic signature. He narrowed his eyes to sense the source. He found it. He found a girl with spiky mint green hair with an orange clip on the left side of her face. She was wearing a white shirt with a fishnet underneath it. She also wore white armbands along with a white pair of shorts. She seems to be a few years older than him. Also, Naruto's tenants sensed that she seems to be harbouring hatred within her, no wonder for being a jinchuuriki.
Then, Team 7 entered the room.
"Oi, why did you leave us behind?" Kiba asked.
Naruto replied, without turning around, "Should it be my concern? I'm not a part of Team 7, if you forgot."
Sakura said, "However, we are still Konoha shinobi!"
"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'treat others as you want to be treated'? You haven't done me any good." He replied.
Kiba was about to retort when he was interrupted by Team 8 and 10. Ino immediately went over to Sasuke and began snuggling him, much to Sakura's ire.
"Naruto-san, I appreciate your help in training us." Hinata said.
Naruto smiled. "It was no problem."
Kiba said, "Hey, why are you training them and not us?"
Naruto replied, "It's because they are more trustworthy than your team. Besides, I'm not training them, per se; I'm just helping them with a few things."
Sasuke, after having Ino let go of him, fumed. "And what are these things that you're helping them with?"
Naruto smirked at him. "Wouldn't you like to know? Suffice to say, they needed an outside team's opinion."
Sakura asked, "Well, why not ask us? We could give you good advice."
Naruto countered it, "And what would you give them? Sasuke would just say that anything that they do wouldn't even measure up to his clan's so-called greatness." Sasuke fumed more, "You would just say that they could do whatever they want, as long as they don't get in your way with your precious." Sakura became red with anger. "And finally, Kiba would just say to Shino to just buzz off and to the girls that they should just learn how to please a man. Pfft, some advice." Kiba gritted his teeth in anger. He mentally smirked. "So, did I hit the right spot?"
The three growled and began to charge at him but was stopped by a newcomer.
"Hey, you're attracting a lot of attention." A voice said. They turned to see a guy wearing glasses and with a purple suit.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "And you are?"
"Oh, excuse me. I am Yakushi Kabuto, pleased to meet you. I'm a repeater."
Kiba asked, "And how many times have your repeated?"
"Oh, this is my seventh time." He drawled. Naruto's eyes narrowed. There's no way someone could be that dumb. "So, I managed to get knowledgeable about various people here. Do you want to know about anyone? I got my info cards here."
Sasuke, intent on getting dirt on Naruto, asked, "Do you have any on Rock Lee, Gaara no Sabaku, and Uzumaki Naruto?"
Kabuto said, "Kukuku, that's no fun. You know their names. Oh, well, here we go." He took out the first card. "Rock Lee; a member of Team Gai, consisting of Maito Gai, the Konoha no Kedakaki Aoi Moju, Hyuuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee himself. He has done 20 D-Ranks and 5 C-Ranks, as of now."
Kabuto returned Rock Lee's card and took out the next one. "Okay, Gaara no Sabaku; a member of Team Baki, consisting of Baki, Kankuro no Sabaku, and Temari no Sabaku, both of which are his older siblings. He has done 35 D-Ranks, 10 C-Ranks, and one B-Rank, all of which, he walked away without a scratch."
Kiba asked, "Whoa, that's not possible. A B-Rank and not even a scratch, that's highly impossible."
Kabuto said, "Well, that's what it says here. Anyway, here's Uzumaki Naruto." He read it first before reading and his eyes widened, as he saw the information and as the card disappeared from his hand. "What the?" Then, he saw a blade pointed at his throat. He looked up to see Naruto, glaring at him.
"The information in my card is considered highly confidential. Such information is not supposed to be known by anyone outside myself and the Hokage." He said, dangerously and Frostmourne showed it as it glowed blue.
The card contained this information:
Uzumaki Naruto
Rank: Genin
Missions: 25 D-Ranks; 10 C-Ranks; 1 A-Rank and 2 S-Ranks. (One is the Mizu no Kuni thing, the other is helping the Sandaime defeat the bane of all Kages: paperwork. ^_^)
Chakra: Possibly Mid to High Kage (due to the fox)
Ninjutsu: At least Mid Kage
Taijutsu: Same as Ninjutsu
Genjutsu: Unknown, presumed N/A
Additional Notes: the only member of his team; goes by the name Rei Kokuo; jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko; has defeated Momochi Zabuza, the Kirigakure no Kijin, and delivered his body to the Mizukage personally; has a blade that has unknown capabilities, only known ability is killing millions just by stabbing the ground and having runes that drains the opponent's life force (?); has prevented Hyuuga Hinata's kidnapping by Kumo and Uchiha Mikoto's and Uchiha Sasuke's deaths by Uchiha Itachi; and has killed Gato of Gato Inc. for possession of facilities.
Sasuke pondered as he looked at the blade. The blade seemed to be radiating power. But, that's not enough for a case. However, the fact that he helps another's team could be good. After all, he's keeping it a secret. Still, I need more than that.
Fu, who was the green-haired girl earlier, raised an eyebrow at the blade. The blade seemed to be causing Nanabi problems.
That blade, that can't be! Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god! I can't believe that it's true! Oh, my god! Nanabi said, in her mind.
Calm down, Nanabi! It's only a blade! She thought.
Only…ONLY a blade? That is no ordinary blade! Nanabi told her. It is the blade that was held by the being that has brought the demon that gave birth to us bijuu. He was the Rei Kokuo. A being that is known to be very dangerous that even Kyuubi fears him. He could defeat the nine bijuu without remorse or regret.
Fu's eyes widened. That's not possible.
That blade is supposed to be lost for centuries. Young one, I know you loathe humans for treating you like shit. However, please, please, heed my words. Never, and I mean, never, anger him. If that really is the blade, Frostmourne, and you do anger him, then, we're doomed.
Hmm, the blade aside, the boy seems…kinda cute. Also, those whisker marks make him look…feral. Fu thought.
Oh, sure, I told you about the danger level of the blade and you go talk about the boy's appearance…wait, whisker marks? That is a sign of a person containing the Kyuubi no Yoko. Oh my GOD! Not only is he the wielder of the blade, he's also the container of the Kyuubi! Nanabi shouted.
CALM DOWN! Fu shouted back. Nothing will happen if you panic! Besides, you just said it earlier. As long as we don't anger the guy, we'll be fine.
Back to Naruto, he glared at Kabuto. "I'll keep this if you don't mind." He pocketed the card into his cloak pocket.
Kabuto thought, So, he's very secretive. However, I have read all in it and I must report it to Orochimaru-sama.
Kiba said, "Hey, give that back!"
Naruto told him. "Information of one person is not another's to give." He sheathed Frostmourne.
Sakura glared at Naruto before asking Kabuto, "So, how many teams are attending?"
Kabuto composed himself and fixed his glasses. "Well, there are numerous teams from Konoha, Suna, Kumo, Iwa, and Taki, one from Taki, and one from an unknown village called Oto."
In a corner of the room, three genins, with a headband with a musical note, glared at Kabuto.
"Did you hear that?" The one that looks like a mummy asked his teammates. "He said our village is unknown."
His other male teammate smirked. "What say we go introduce ourselves?"
Their female teammate said, "Yes, let's…" They zoomed to Kabuto.
Naruto's senses were tingling. He turned to see three figures zooming to Kabuto. Immediately, he grabbed Frostmourne and jumped right between Kabuto and the zooming team.
The mummy aimed for a punch, which Naruto used the flat side of Frostmourne to push away while he aimed for a kick at his torso. The mummy sprawled to the floor, while clutching his torso. Naruto felt pain on his ears but paid it no mind as he turned to the next male teammate who went for a kick at his head. He ducked and did a leg-sweep, which made the offending male tumble to the ground. He felt more pain on his ears and a slight pain on his head but still paid it no heed. He looked up and saw the female teammate aiming to grab his head and slam it to the ground. Naruto immediately lay on his back and kicked the female teammate on the stomach, making her drop to the floor while clutching her stomach.
When Naruto stood up, he gritted his teeth as he felt blood fall from his ears. He used Holy Light to heal his bleeding ear. Sasuke noticed the usage. What was that? He thought.
Minato noted. So, they use sound as their weapon, like their village. However, I have never heard of Otogakure before.
Kyuubi frowned. I smell snake on the three Oto genin along with Kabuto, more so in Kabuto.
Kushina and Minato frowned as well. So, they're Orochimaru's lackeys. Minato said.
Naruto wondered who Orochimaru is.
Orochimaru is one of the Sannin. He is the Snake Sannin. He was trained by the Hiruzen, along with Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-san. From what I hear among the populace, he was practicing human experimentation even before I became Yondaime Hokage. Minato said.
Naruto mentally blanched. Well, that's just sicko.
Yes, I know. However, I haven't discovered any labs during my time as Hokage. So, it was dismissed.
Kushina thought about something. Well, I don't sense his chakra around Konoha so I must assume that the rumours are true and he's either banished or he escaped himself.
Then, a cloud of smoke appeared and Naruto took guard.
"Easy on the Gummy Bears, kid," a gruff voice said, "I think the sugar's getting to you."
When it cleared, it showed a guy in all black with a bandanna with a bunch of chuunins on the platform.
Minato whistled. Naruto, the man before you is Morino Ibiki, the person that Mikoto-san and Haku-san were discussing earlier.
Naruto sheathed his blade. "Sorry about that. I'm just jumpy."
Ibiki chuckled. "Save your jump for the start of the Exams." He noticed the three genin on the ground. "What's wrong with them?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Oh, well, they were going to attack another genin before it started so I just stopped them."
Ibiki raised an eyebrow. Ah, yes, he's the genin of a one-man team. No wonder he defeated them so easily. He told every genin. "Alright, every one of you, take your seats. The Exams are about to start."
Uchiha Mikoto arrived at the place where clan patriarchs, matriarchs, off-duty jonins and chuunins, and the Hokage.
Once she entered the room, she was immediately tackled by Hyuuga Hitomi. "There you are, Miko-chan!" She chirped. "I couldn't find you anywhere."
Mikoto had a big sweat-drop on her head. "Um, well, I've been busy." She replied.
Although the Hyuugas, Uchihas, and Uzumakis were rival clans, Hitomi, Mikoto, and Kushina were as close as close can be. The three of them were known as the strongest team of kunoichi the village has ever seen, second only to Senju Tsunade. They weren't on the level of the Sannin, oh, no. They couldn't take on Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru altogether head-on and win, no. They will have high difficulty if two of the Sannin fought them. However, if they fought only one Sannin, they can defeat them, with little difficulty.
Hitomi just kept on snuggling on her. "Well, why couldn't you send a letter?"
The Sandaime cleared his throat to get their attention. "I don't want to break up this conversation; however, we have an Exam to monitor."
They immediately chorused. "Hai, Hokage-sama."
The Sandaime activated a TV set that was focused on the examination room.
The genins were seated in their respective seats. Ibiki cleared his throat. "Let me explain the rules…"
(Yadda, yadda, yadda, skip the rules and onto the exam itself.)
"…ready, begin!" He shouted.
Immediately, the sound of scratching pencils covered the area.
With Naruto, he frowned at the questions.
O-kay, what's with these questions? Aren't they, at least, chuunin-level question?
Minato chuckled. Oh, yes, that, well, this test measures a genin's capability to cheat without getting caught-
Then, Kushina hit him on the head. What did you tell him that for? He's supposed to figure that out for himself.
Minato scratched the back of his head. Um, oops…?
No worries. Even without Minato telling him, he would have answered it. Arthas said. The things we taught him are, at least, jonin-level.
And that's just for us ancestors. For you and Kushina, I believe it's almost Kage level.
Minato scratched the back of his head again. Well, it was only half of what Kage's should learn. Although, all of what we taught him were Kage-level tactics and techniques.
Then, they noticed that Naruto wasn't listening. On further inspection, Naruto seemed to be writing his answers as fast as he could.
Kushina shook her head. Well, he cheated. And no one will even know he did.
Naruto's eyes skimmed through the paper. Mumble…mumble…mumble…
Then, he finished, with a good 45 minutes to spare. Feeling a bit bored, he lowered his head on the board and slept.
The people who were watching the exams were shocked to find Naruto sleeping through the test.
Asuma said, "I can't believe it. He's sleeping, in front of Morino Ibiki, while in a test?"
Tsume smirked. "The brat's got balls of steel if he could just sleep in front of Ibiki. He doesn't take kindly to people who think that his job is a joke."
Shikaku muttered, "Troublesome…either, he's done or he's too dumb that he's waiting for the tenth question to save his ass."
Hiashi said, "The first one is completely impossible. The smartest genin would take, at least, 30 minutes to complete and he completed it in 15. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he's already a chuunin. Hmm, what is this?"
The first to finish was Naruto, who finished in 15 minutes.
The second was Shikamaru, who finished in 20.
The third was Fu, who finished in 23 (thanks to Nanabi).
The Sandaime raised an eyebrow. "It seems that we have three smart genins in our ranks."
Ibiki was surprised to see Naruto and Shikamaru sleeping while the green-haired girl was busy twirling her pencil in her fingers. That was fast. I never expected for them to finish in less than half of an hour. He walked over to Naruto. "What's the matter, kid? Are you giving up, already?" He growled, while letting loose some KI.
Naruto woke up and lazily looked up at him. "Oh, hello, proctor-san, I was too bored, waiting around for the others to finish, so I'm catching a few Z's."
Ibiki raised an eyebrow. "So…you're finished, already?"
Naruto nodded lazily. "Yeah…the same could be said for Shikmaru and that green-haired chick who's twirling her pencil as they are done with the test. Now, please excuse me, I'm going to catch some more Z's." He went back to sleeping.
Shikamaru muttered, in his sleep, "Troublesome…"
Fu managed to blush a bit upon hearing what he said about her.
Ooh, I see someone's flustered. Nanabi cooed. What's wrong, young one? You can't take a little compliment from a, and I quote, 'kinda cute' boy?
QUIET! Fu shouted back.
Then, a senbon whizzed past her cheek and onto the table behind her. She looked to the source and saw a black-haired girl glaring at someone behind her.
Haku said, "You, get your team and get out of here. You cheated the full five times."
The guy behind Fu, an Iwa-nin, stood up in defiance and shouted, "Hey, where's your proof that I did cheat, huh? I bet you're just making that up! Why don't you just go suck a dick, you bit-" He would have finished, if Naruto hadn't appeared in front of him and grabbed him all the way to the back of the room.
Naruto's eyes were shadowed by his bangs. Naruto growled at the Iwa-nin. "In my presence," he looked up to see bluish glowing eyes that only he could see, "never insult her. You wouldn't like what the consequences are if you do so." For added effect, he released KI on him. The Iwa-nin, along with the other weaklings began to sweat. "Get out of here and take your team with you, knave." He dropped him on the floor and growled at him.
"You're mine next time, Konoha scum!"
Naruto replied, "I'll be waiting, Iwa fool." He growled again and he got his team and left.
When his team left, Naruto went back to his seat and went back to sleeping.
Asuma whistled. "Damn. He just threatened an Iwa-nin. That might give us more troubles than before."
Kakashi said, "Yeah, sensei has already made enemies in Iwa. With Naruto threatening a shinobi of the same village, well, that might skyrocket their anger."
Every now and then, a team gets disqualified as they got caught cheating five times. However, they didn't fight or anything. They just did as they were told, and left with their teams. They were afraid of Naruto.
Then, Ibiki announced that the time is up. He explained a few more rules before going to the tenth question.
Ibiki said, "So, this is your last chance. If you leave now, you will still have another chance to try the Exams. If you don't and you get the wrong answer, you won't be able to enter the Chuunin Exams, ever again."
Kiba shouted, "What the hell is up with that rule, man?"
Ibiki replied, "I will only say it once. If you are afraid of the tenth question, and you want to try again next time, then, leave. If you want to, then, stay; however, get the wrong answer, then, you will stay a genin forever."
Sakura shouted, "Well, that's not fair!"
"Nothing's fair, nowadays, girl. So, raise your hand if you want to leave, one of the chuunin will take note of your and your team's seat and you may leave."
One by one, teams left the area. When almost half were left, Ibiki asked, "Alright, nobody else?" Nobody did, although some were still nervous though.
Minato chuckled. Oh, well. Here we go.
Ibiki cleared his throat. "Alright, to all those who were left, you all pass!"
That got a riot. Shouts of surprise shot from one end to another.
…skipping the speech…
Then, the window was blown open just as a figure went over to the platform and threw two kunai that whizzed to both ends of the board and a banner appeared in between it. It showed the words 'Presenting the 2nd Proctor: the Sexy and Single, Mitarashi Anko!'
Minato's eyebrows rose to his hairline. Oh, yes, Orochimaru's apprentice…she's quite the wildcard.
Kushina giggled. Oh, you mean, Anko-chan? She, along with her friends, Kurenai-chan, Hana-chan, and Yuugao-chan, always tailed me, Mikoto-chan, and Hitomi-chan every time we have free time from missions.
Really? Naruto asked.
Yep, we were the most famous kunoichis at the time. We may not be able to beat all the Sannin combined, but we were still badass! We could, though, beat either one of the Sannin alone.
Whoa, cool… Naruto said.
Then, the figure stood up properly. The figure was a woman of 30s. She had purple hair that she tied up. Also, she's wearing rather provocative clothing. She was wearing a fishnet shirt, with nothing underneath, plus the orange skirt. For the finality, she wore a tan overcoat.
"Alright, you brats, I'm Mitarashi Anko and I'm the second exam proctor!" She shouted.
Okay…she seemed to have become more of a wildcard than before. Minato said.
Naruto just clapped at the performance. Anko heard it and turned to Naruto. She smirked at him.
"Why, thank you. At least, somebody enjoys my entrances."
Naruto smiled and made a slight bow through his head.
Then, someone appeared from behind the banner. It was Ibiki. "You're early, Anko."
Anko grinned. "Well, the early bird gets the bird, right?" She surveyed the class. "Well, well, well, Ibiki, you seem to be losing your touch. You left 26 teams, tsk, tsk, tsk." She smirked evilly. "Well, by the time I'm done with them, the numbers will decrease by half." She released a bit of her KI for emphasis. Some began sweating. She smirked more. "Alright, all of you, meet me at the Training Ground 44!" She jumped off of the window, making everybody sweatdrop.
Minato palmed his head. Alright, I stand corrected. She became the very meaning of wild.
Ibiki was taking the papers of the genins. He took interest at the test paper of one Uzumaki Naruto. These answers are beyond chuunin-level. For starters, he was a one-man team; then, he answered these questions in a…are these jonin-level answers? And, what the hell? That one is a near Kage-level one. Hmm, what is this? He noticed some writing at the back.
Ibiki-san,
I wish to inform you that a genin named Yakushi Kabuto has information that is considered confidential. Also, he reeks of snakes.
N.U.
Ibiki pondered about it. Hmm, a snake…that can only mean Orochimaru. So, he's somehow related to the traitor. I have to report this to Hokage-sama.
He turned to a chuunin. "You, pick up these remaining papers. I got a business with Hokage-sama." And he disappeared.
Anko smirked evilly. "Here we are, boys and girls, Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death!"
For added effect, there was the sound of cracking lightning.
Kushina put a hand to her mouth. Oh, my…please be careful, sochi. I don't want you to die early.
Why, what's with this place?
This place is, as the name suggests, very deadly. Various deadly animals wander around here and they are savage. Kushina told him.
Don't worry, kaa-san. I'm going to be fine. After all, I'm your son.
Kushina smiled. That you are, sochi, that you are.
There it is!
If you don't like it, just review. After all, some of them, I think, are OOC.
