(Timeskip- 2 months)

It had been an eventful two months for Team 7. They had gone on 5 more C rank missions and even a B rank. Three of their C ranks were simply escort missions, no ninja contact like the Wave mission. The other four were eradicating bandit camps with one having a few missing ninja, making it their first B rank. Normally a ninja's first kill would haunt them but Kakashi dealt with it perfectly.

Before their first kill, Kakashi had acquired three of the cutest baby birds he could find. He then handed each of his students one bird. Naruto, Sakura, and even Sasuke became mesmerized by the three birds cuteness. They knew they wouldn't want anything to ever harm them, they were theirs forever.

However, Kakashi told them to kill their bird or it was D ranks for life. With heavy hearts, except for Sasuke who acted indifferent on the outside, Team Kakashi silently killed their baby bird. Needless to say, neither Genin became haunted when they killed during their bandit eradication missions. They had succeeded in all of their missions with great efficiency and minimal injuries.

Team 7's Genin also progressed individually during that time span.

Sakura had progressed mainly in medical ninjutsu. She could heal light injuries with ease now and became a very important member of Team 7, more so than ever due to her abilities as a medic.

Sasuke progressed as well. Sasuke had strengthened his Taijutsu some more by getting faster because he still wanted and needed his body to catch up to his eyes mainly because Naruto still exploited that fact in their spars. Sasuke had also honed his fire release and Sharingan genjutsu. He tried hard to gain the third tomoe in his eyes but they hadn't come yet.

Naruto had done amazing in the two months. Tenzo had finally made contact with him again since Team 7 became Team 7 right after his coming back from Wave. As a result, he taught Naruto the jutsu that made Hashirama so great, Kakuan Nitten Suishu (Tenth Edict of Enlightenment). The power to tame tailed beasts. The technique used the power of Mokuton to forcibly suppress a tailed beast's power. Tenzo showed Naruto the jutsu for when he ever came across another Jinchuriki or Bijuu. Naruto had learned the jutsu by the end of the first month and was only getting better at it.

Not only had he learned that jutsu, Naruto's speed at using the Shunshin had finally reached an incomparable level. He had gotten it down to no need for hand seals and could use it against opponents in battle. Kakashi still could keep pace easily, but that was because he was an elite Jonin. Chunin and below would have trouble with Naruto's speed increase.

Kakashi knew his team was easily Chunin exam material. Naruto was a sure fired Chunin, maybe Jonin for that matter. Sasuke was at least a Chunin as well. It'd take some luck for Sakura but he was positive his team could handle the exams. As a result, his team received his recommendation for the Exams tomorrow.

(Several Hours Later)

After receiving his form from Kakashi, Naruto decided to eat at his favorite restaurant. After his fill of ramen, Naruto began to walk out of Ichiraku's and head nowhere in particular.

Naruto was walking alone, so he thought. He chuckled slightly when he noticed a rock was following him. A perfectly square rock, with two eye holes in it. Upon recognizing the chakra signature and sensing two more within it, Naruto decided to talk to his followers.

"Come on Konohamaru, I know you can do better than that." said Naruto. After he finished, The rock came flying off as a huge plume of smoke billowed out. As it cleared, it revealed Konohamaru and two other children his age.

The kid to Konohamaru's right was a boy with short, brown hair and black eyes. He wore round glasses and had an ever-present drip of snot from his nose. He wore a simple blue t-shirt that zipped up the middle, a pair of brown pants, sandals and a pair of blue wristbands to represent his membership in the Konohamaru Ninja Squad.

The kid to Konohamaru's left was a girl with orange hair, tied up by two red elastic bands, into to two very large pigtails and a perpetual blush on her cheeks. She also wears a red tank-top over a pink t-shirt layered at the bottom; her pants are grey and she wears the traditional ninja sandals. She also wears a pair of blue wristbands to honor Naruto as a member of the Konohamaru Ninja Squad.

Naruto had given Konohamaru his blue wristbands one day when he visited him. Ever since, Konohamaru had donned them and seemed to acquire two more members, impressive.

Konohamaru spoke up upon the smoke dissipating, "Told you he was amazing. Guys this is Naruto. Boss, this is Udon and Moegi. We are the Konohamaru Ninja Squad." finished Konohamaru with a pose of authority.

"Hi I'm Moegi and it's nice to meet you Naruto-san. Konohamaru has told us great things about you." said Moegi with a smile and a deeper blush as she noticed Naruto smiling back. "He's hunky" thought Moegi looking Naruto up and down.

"I'm Udon. It's mice to neet you...Oh no, I screwed up." said Udon ashamed at his first time talking to Naruto.

"Boss, come play Ninja with us, you haven't played with me since the Konohamaru Ninja Squad became a squad."

"Playing Ninja Naruto? I thought 'being' a ninja stopped you from pretending to be a Ninja." said Sakura as she had come over when she spotted Naruto.

"Oh hey Sakura-chan. There's nothing wrong with playing Ninja. Plus Konohamaru's better than most of my opponents." said Naruto when he noticed Konohamaru had his pinkie held up.

"Boss, is that your girlfriend?" said Konohamaru. Naruto laughed when he realized what Konohamaru meant with that pinkie. "Oh probably not since you're laughing, I'd laugh to at that hair. I mean, who has pink hair. Does she dye it? What a weirdo" finished Konohamaru as he was hit by a vicious killing intent.

Konohamaru looked up to see Sakura seething.

Naruto whispered in Konohamaru's ear, "Run."

Not needing to get told twice, he took off in a full sprint. Sakura was in hot pursuit as she rounded the corner Konohamaru just took. Upon doing so, she noticed Konohamaru bump into someone.

"Ouch, I'm sorry sir. I was running and wasn't paying attention to where I was going." said Konohamaru as he then found himself picked up by his collar.

"Watch where you're going punk" said the older boy grabbing Konohamaru. He had black eyes and purple facial paint on. He was clad in a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead.

"Stop it Kankuro, he already said sorry. Leave him alone." said a teal-eyed girl with sandy, blonde hair in four ponytails. She was wearing a single light purple-coloured, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she also wore her black forehead protector around her neck.

"No Temari, I plan to teach this punk a lesson." said Kankuro as he readied a fist.

Sakura was going to speak up until Naruto appeared beside her in a Shunshin. "Excuse me sir, I would recommend putting him down." said Naruto.

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it Blondie." said Kankuro as he turned his head to look at Naruto.

Naruto gasped as he said, "Oh my, I'm sorry miss. I thought you were a boy at first."

Temari chuckled slightly as Kankuro blurted out, "What the hell are you talking about. I'm a guy."

"Then why the hell are you wearing all that make-up." said Naruto causing Temari to laugh a little harder.

"It's war paint! Not make-up, why does everyone say that." said Kankuro as he was hit by a rock. That shocked him enough to drop Konohamaru, who immediately dashed for Naruto.

"Konohamaru, I don't think you need to stay here now, go on home." said Naruto to Konohamaru, who hurried home afterwards.

Sasuke landed next to Naruto as he said, "You should pick on someone your own size."

Kankuro looked irate at Sasuke as he touched the bandaged object behind him. Sasuke pulled out a kunai as he readied for Kankuro's assault. Temari made a move for her fan until she felt her hand land on another hand?

"I wouldn't do that, let's let them do something stupid." said Naruto, who was standing behind Temari smiling.

"I didn't even see him move." said Temari as she noticed an image of Naruto in place of where he was. "Was that a shunshin. That was way too fast. This guy's good and he's not too bad on the eyes." thought Temari as she blushed slightly looking at Naruto. Then blushed harder when she realized her hand was still on his. She took it off and turned away back to Kankuro.

Kankuro had noticed Temari's dilemma but continued when he realized Naruto wasn't going to do anything. However, before he could start on the bandages, he froze when he heard another voice.

"You both are embarrassments." said a new voice who appeared in a swirl of sand via shunshin. He was a short male with short, spiky red hair. He had black rings around his blue-green eyes with no pupil or eyebrows. He wore a black full body suit with t-shirt-like sleeves, ¾-length legs, and an open neck. He also wore a white cloth over his right shoulder and the left side of his hips, and a wide leather band system over the left shoulder and right side of his hips. With this leather band, he carried around his gourd that contained his sand. He also wrapped his black forehead protector over the band.

"Gaara." said Kankuro as he stopped what he was doing upon Gaara's arrival.

"Stop speaking before I kill you." said Gaara as he turned to look at Naruto. "You, with the blonde hair, my name is Gaara, what is yours?"

"My name is Naruto. That is Sasuke and Sakura." said Naruto as he pointed to his two teammates.

"Are you competing in the Chunin Exams?" asked Gaara.

"That we are, I'm assuming you all are as well. Being Sunagakure shinobi in Konoha." said Naruto, still behind Temari.

"Of course. It'll be entertaining going against you Naruto." said Gaara before he started walking off. "Temari, Kankuro. We're going."

Naruto moved out of Temari's way as he said "It was a pleasure meeting you Temari-chan"

"It was a pleasure meeting you too." said Temari, blushing as she left.

"Hn. I would have kicked that cross dresser's ass." said Sasuke.

Naruto laughed as he said, "I'm sure you would have. I'm sure you would have. Unless he kicked your ass with that bandaged up make-up kit on his back. Either way, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. I'm gonna get prepped for it. Peace out." said Naruto as he vanished. Sasuke and Sakura did the same as they left to get ready for the Chunin Exams tomorrow.

(One Day Later)

Team 7 arrived at the academy the following morning for the Chunin Exams. They had instructions to go to room 301 and headed upstairs to get to their room. Upon arriving, they noticed they were only on the second floor and spotted a door with 301 on the sign.

Immediately recognizing the Genjutsu and Henge, Naruto thought, "Must be a test. If Genin can't spot a simple Genjutsu like that one, they don't deserve to be in the exams. We should just walk arou..." but Sasuke cut him from that thought when he spoke.

"Drop the Henge and Genjutsu, you're not fooling any of us good ninjas with it." said Sasuke as both techniques dissolved.

Naruto palmed his face as one of the, now Chunin, spoke up, "Seems we have a cocky one Kotetsu."

Kotetsu then said, "Indeed we do, looks like I'll have to put him in his place." said Kotetsu as he kicked out at Sasuke. However, a kid in a green, spandex jumpsuit stopped the kick short.

"Hello, my name is Rock Lee, might I have your names?" said Rock Lee, the kid in the green jumpsuit, to Sasuke, letting Kotetsu's leg go.

"Hn. I'm Sasuke Uchiha, this is Sakura Haruno and Naruto Senju. We are Team Kakashi. Who are you all?" said Sasuke in reply.

"As I said, I am Rock lee, this is Tenten and Neji Hyuga. We are Team Guy." said Rock Lee.

"Well, we hope to see you in the exams" said Sasuke as he and his teammates both walked off.

"Seems they are a strong team with the Uchiha and Senju. Wonder how good they are." thought Neji to himself.

"Damn. That Senju kid is smoking hot, but I'll beat his ass if we come across each other." thought Tenten as she and Neji noticed Rock Lee was gone.

Team 7 were just about to turn the corner to room 301 when they heard a shout.

"Please Stop." said Rock Lee as he landed behind Team 7. "Sasuke Uchiha, I would like to challenge you to a spar. I am the best Genin in the class this year and I would like to test my skills against you. You are a natural genius and I am a genius of hard work, and I would like to test myself against you." finished Rock Lee as he got into a beginning stance.

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and was about to say yes until Naruto said, "Sasuke. I believe it's unwise to face him without knowing what he can do. He seemed extremely fast when he blocked that kick earlier and if I'm not mistaken, that's the Goken fighting style. A very formidable taijutsu. You would suffer unnecessary injuries battling him. Let us continue without this, we'll face him later." said Naruto as Sasuke agreed.

"My teammate is right. We don't have much time to get to the exam. We'll save that spar for later." said Sasuke.

Before Rock Lee could respond, a grown up version of Rock Lee appeared landing beside him.

"Guy-sensei, why are you here?" asked Lee to Guy.

"Lee, my beautiful student. I came to make sure you weren't starting trouble. What are you doing to these fine, youthful ninjas?" asked Guy.

"Nothing Guy-sensei, I challenged Sasuke-kun to a spar here. But he reminded me that we had little time to get to the exams, so we scheduled it for later." replied Lee as he looked to see his Sensei's face cringing up.

"What a beautiful display of youth. To remind you of your pressing exam, so you wouldn't be late. It's so beautiful to think about it, isn't it Lee?" said Guy, face full of tears. Lee immediately starting crying looking at Guy crying.

"Lee!" "Guy-sensei!" "Lee!" "Guy-sensei!"

Team 7 bore witness to a horrifying genjutsu. Rock lee and his elder clone were hugging on a beach cliff, complete with waves crashing against it and a beautiful sunset. Sasuke's Sharingan couldn't even dispel the Genjutsu. Naruto tried to even use some of Kurama's chakra to forcibly dispel the illusion but it was to no avail. Nothing worked. They stayed and watched the Genjutsu until its end.

Slightly disoriented at what they just watched, Team 7 finally made it into room 301. Upon arriving, Naruto was immediately pounced on by a purple blur.

"Naruto-kun, how I've missed you." said Ino as she rubbed her cheek with Naruto's.

"Hi Ino-chan. It's nice to see you too. Yo, Shika and Choji." said Naruto as the boys from Team 10 showed up after Ino.

"Troublesome. Of course Naruto's in this exam." said Shikamaru as he fist bumped Naruto, Choji did likewise after wiping the chips off his hand.

"Ino-pig, what are you doing to Naruto? Did you finally give up hope on Sasuke-kun?" said Sakura with a smirk. Ino immediately stopped and was going to respond until another person made his presence known.

"What's up everybody. Seems the Gang's all here." started Kiba, "You know what, they should call us the Rookie 9. As we're the first rookies in the Chunin exams in the past few years." said Kiba loudly as he fist bumped Naruto. Shino and Hinata were walking up beside him.

Naruto was about to respond again but an older boy appeared and spoke to the group.

"You should talk more quietly. You're drawing a lot of attention to yourself." said the boy as Naruto noticed that everybody in the room was staring at them.

Sasuke looked at the guy for a second, "Who are you? I've never seen you in the leaf village." said Sasuke as he noticed the boy's Leaf forehead protector.

The boy was older than the 'Rookie Nine'. He looked about 20 years old and had on a pair of round glasses. He had onyx eyes and ash-grey hair, which was in a ponytail that extended to his upper back, with bangs framing either side of his forehead. He wore a dark purple shirt with a high collar, a white undershirt, dark purple finger-less gloves with armored plates on the back of the hand, a white cloth waistband worn at an angle, dark purple pants, blue sandals, and a shuriken holster on his right leg.

"I am Kabuto Yakushi. I haven't seen everyone in Konoha either, so it's not hard for me to not be seen either." said Kabuto before he continued with, "I've been in a lot of these exams, I figured I should help you guys."

Shikamaru noticed he said a lot and wondered what how many, "How many exams have you been in."

"It's a bi-annual event and this is my fourth year trying. I'm on my 7th attempt." said Kabuto smiling.

"Damn. You must suck." said Kiba in a brash tone. "What? Everyone was thinking it."

"Maybe you're right. But like I said, it is a pretty tough event. Since I've been in so many of these things. I've amassed a bit of knowledge. I could even share some if you'd like. I've got it all down on these cards." said Kabuto as he pulled out a stack of blank cards.

Sasuke perked up slightly. He had a few names. "Do you have info on, Rock Lee, Gaara, and Naruto Senju?" said Sasuke as everyone gasped when he said Naruto.

"So you know their names, well that makes it easy." said Kabuto as he pulled out three cards and channeled a bit of chakra into them. "Okay first up, Rock Lee. Konoha Genin with tremendous ability in Taijutsu. Says his nin and genjutsu are nil. He is a member of Team 9 led by Might Guy as his sensei. Neji Hyuga and Tenten are his teammates. Says he has completed 42 D ranks and 35 C rank missions. Has been a Genin for a year, graduating a year before you guys." said Kabuto as he shifted to a different card.

"Gaara of the Desert. I have little on this guy being from a different village. Says he mainly uses sand in all of his attacks and is very formidable in battle with it. He has done 12 D rank missions, 52 C rank missions, and even 1 B rank mission. Whoa, it says here that he hasn't received an injury, ever." said Kabuto as a few of the Genin got shocked faces at the news. Kabuto finally shifted to Naruto's card.

"Naruto Senju. From the famed Senju Clan of the thousand skills. This is impressive, says he is proficient in all the shinobi arts with Ninjutsu being his favorite. His chakra levels are off the charts and it even says his control over it is just as impressive. Seems he is a chakra monster. He is a member of Team 7 led by Kakashi Hatake. His teammates are Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Says he has completed 48 D rank missions, 6 C rank Missions, 1 B rank, and even an A rank. Has been dubbed the 'Hero of Wave' and he's only been a Genin for about 4 months. Quite impressive. He's probably the strongest person here." said Kabuto, a little loudly when he claimed Naruto was the strongest.

A gasp was heard from everyone in the Rookie 9 besides Team 7 and Shikamaru. Naruto was that strong? His team had gone on an A rank mission? How did he become the 'Hero of Wave'?

"Troublesome, I already knew Naruto was that good. Now this guy had to go off and say it. Now Naruto has all these people in here targeting him. Oh well, I hope he gets taken out before he comes our way. But how does this guy know so much?" thought Shikamaru to himself.

"Hn. Glad I threw the focus to Naruto while also gaining more information on my enemies." thought Sasuke.

"This guy knows too much to be a Genin. Plus I can feel the bad vibes coming off him. I need to find a way to tell jiji. Having information of that quality could make this guy a spy." thought Naruto before he saw a mummy come pass his face.

The mummy's target was Kabuto as he threw a punch. Kabuto dodged it easily but soon fell to his knees as his glasses cracked.

"He's not the strongest one here, don't doubt us from Sound." said the Mummy to Kabuto.

"That instrument on his arm. Seems it emits a sound that damages the body. I'll have to look out for that." thought Naruto before a poof occurred in the room.

"Sit down and shut up. I am Ibiki Morino, the proctor for this first exam, welcome to hell." said Ibiki as he signaled for his helpers to place the Genin in their seats and start handing out the tests. Naruto noticed that he was nowhere near his team. He was in the middle, Sasuke behind him in the back rows, and Sakura in the front. Seemed every team was split like that.

As the tests got handed out, Ibiki gave out the rules for the first exam.

"You will all have an hour for this first test. You'll have 45 minutes for the first 9 questions on your test. The last 15 minutes of your test, I'll give you the tenth question. If caught cheating, you and your team's disqualification and exam end is next. You may use whatever abilities you have to gain your answers though, just remember to not get caught. Begin." said Ibiki as the clocked ticked perfectly at 9:00:00. Right on time.

Naruto heard writing immediately as Ibiki said that. He looked down at his test and immediately realized something weird.

"These questions are way to hard for any mere Genin to answer. I wonder if any Jonin could answer them. The guy a row below, and three seats to the left seems to not have trouble. Actually, I can see an imprint of a flak jacket on his shirt. He is a Chunin placed in here with the answers. So it seems they are testing our stealth for this exam. Clever. But I wonder what the tenth question is like. Oh well, might as well get my nine questions over." thought Naruto.

Naruto waited for the Chunin to turn his paper over, signalling his finish. Naruto's foot merged with the wooden floor below him as he created a Moku Bunshin (Wood Clone) into the floor. The Bunshin traveled underground with Doton: Moruragakure no Jutsu (Earth Style: Hiding like a Mole Technique) to get underneath the Chunin's desk. Right underneath the Chunin's paper, the bunshin's eyes appeared and took note of every one of his answers. It then proceeded to head back to its original undetected.

After merging back with its creator, Naruto immediately received information from his clone. He then finished his test as he waited for the tenth question.

Sakura had already knew the answers to the test and was writing them down like the boss she was.

"Finally. All the knowledge that I studied hard for is paying off. And they thought I was a weirdo for trying to learn everything." thought Sakura as she swiftly finished her nine questions.

Sasuke noticed just like Naruto that there were Chunin with the answers sitting in the exam. He activated his Sharingan and began copying the Chunin's pencil movements to get the answers. Worked like a charm.

Eventually, the 45 minutes were up and Ibiki stood up to give the tenth question.

"Listen up maggots, there are rules to this question. First off, if you decide to stay for this question and miss it, you will immediately fail and you and your team are all gone. Secondly, if you do fail this question, you can not take another Chunin exam ever again." said Ibiki as he heard gasps and a shout.

"Some Genin have been here before, how is that possible if they missed the question." said a Genin from Amegakure.

"This is my exam. I make the rules so deal with it. Now is there anyone who wants to leave? If you leave now, none of that applies to you and you can always take another test at a later date." said Ibiki as he watched about another 8 teams leave.

"Hmm seems 28 teams are still in the exam, 84 kids. Anko will never let me live this down." thought Ibiki as he looked at Naruto.

"You sure you want to stay blondie, this is your last chance." said Ibiki as he saw Naruto smile a little.

"I wouldn't mind. Being a Chunin or higher is not necessary to become Hokage. However my teammates need me here and I have a bigger prize for becoming a Chunin. This test won't stop me. Not to mention that I figured out your test." said Naruto.

"Oh and what would that be?" said Ibiki.

"This is a test to see if we had Chunin level abilities in stealth. Hence, the task of trying to gain answers in a crowded room with spectators watching us." said Naruto as he continued with, "Your tenth question is also a test. A test to see if we had the willingness to go on with the risks. As Chunin, we may have to go on missions that have risks as severe as the one you gave us. You're trying to find the ones who would stay and that would mean we pass the tenth question, as staying was the answer to it." finished Naruto, who received a high-five from Kiba in the row behind him.

"Damn. That kid is good. That was definitely Chunin level thinking. Kid's going places." thought Ibiki before he began to say, "Well the brat's right. Anyone still in here has passed. Congratulations on passing the first exam. Before the next proctor comes, I want to tell you th..."

BOOM!

Ibiki became interrupted when the wall suddenly exploded and in came a huge banner. Accompanying the banner was a woman with violet hair and light brown, pupil-less eyes. She was wearing a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam, which has a pocket on both sides, and complete with a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She wears a dark orange mini-skirt, as well as a forehead protector, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord, a wrist watch, and pale grey shin guards. She also wore a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.

On the banner was a sign that said "The Sexy and Single Anko Mitarashi."

"Hello kiddies, I am your proctor for the second exam, Anko." said Anko as she stared at the Genin.

"Your arrival was early." said Ibiki as the clock struck 10:00:00 at that moment.

"You also let 84 brats pass, so it's fine. I'll cut em in half, at least, before the third exam." said Anko, "You have 15 minutes to get to training ground 44, which is a straight line through this wall. Move it." finished Anko as she disappeared with a puff of smoke.

"Well damn she's hot." said Kiba as he and Naruto shared another high-five as they saw how good Anko looked in her clothing. They were 14 years old, who wouldn't notice Anko's hot body, especially in that outfit.

Soon all the Genin were out the room and headed toward training ground 44. 15 minutes later, Anko appeared and proceeded to hand out instructions for the next test.

"Welcome to my home brats. This is training ground 44, better known as the Forest of Death." Anko smirked at seeing the Genin's shocked faces. However she did notice that Naruto wasn't caring in the least.

"Hmm seems he needs some more motivation." thought Anko as she threw a high-speed kunai at Naruto. The kunai was so fast that no one even saw Anko move her arm or see the kunai fly through the air. A few did, including Naruto, and as a result Naruto leaned his head to the side as the kunai flew by his face. He then felt Anko appear behind him with another kunai at his cheek.

"Seems I can't scare you with this big, scary forest. So I'll have to do it myself." said Anko. She was about to press the kunai closer to Naruto's cheek when she felt a kunai on her inner thigh.

"Seems you can't either. Thanks for the warning though, but I believe I'll be safe." said Naruto in a whisper so no one else heard him. The kunai was also situated where nobody could see either. "Hell yeah I handled that like a champ" thought Naruto before he loss his composure completely.

Anko had moved closer to Naruto, which pressed her ample chest into his back and placed her lady business over his hand and kunai. "Hmm, seems I can't. If only you were a little older brat, you might have gotten a prize. I saw you high-five that dog boy after his comment on my looks." said Anko as she licked Naruto's face with a long tongue.

Naruto immediately stiffen and turned red. "She's not wearing underwear." thought Naruto flustered for the first time in his life.

"Still got it." thought Anko as she immediately pointed a kunai at the most creepy looking Genin she had ever seen. She wasn't weird-looking, she just looked to normal, it was creepy.

"Here's your kunai back." said the Kusagakure Genin as Anko took back her kunai and walked back to the front.

"Now for this exam, each of you will be handed a scroll." said Anko as she held up two scrolls. "You'll either get an Earth scroll or a Heaven scroll. Whichever scroll you get, your team must get the opposite. After obtaining the other scroll, your team must make it to the center of the forest with both scrolls to pass. You'll each be given a gate to go ahead from where you will sign a death waiver. Anything goes in the forest and the death waiver is so we're not blamed for your lack of skills. Goodbye for now" finished Anko with a wink at the still red Naruto.

"I can still feel the warmth from her va.." thought Naruto, cut from his musings by a tug from Sakura.

Team 7 arrived at their gate and a ninja gave them their earth scroll, which Naruto gladly took. Soon Anko sounded the horn that started the second exam.
