"Show me..." Sasuke demand
"He's a Year older than you guys also 12.... Mission history: D-rank 40, C-rank 20 completed.

"Next is Gaara of the desert same old as you also 11.

"................"
"Leaf, Sand, Rain, Grass, Water fall, Sound....Many outstanding Genins from the various Hidden villagages are here to take the exam. Well... The hidden sound village is a small village just created last year so there isn't much info but...the rest of the hidden villages are filled with talented youngsters...This isn't going to be easy..." Kabuto said
"Heh...." Naruto suddenly laugh and instantly have all people of the room staring at him "Do you think this losers are stronger than me?" Naruto pointing at them as he send a little Killer intent, as his Oceanblure eyes change cold like ice
As they looking at this eyes, they all step a few step back
'Naruto....' The rookie nine minus Naruto thought with little fear
'hey... It's that guy from before...' Kankuro thought with little stutter
'...........' Gaara thought with little excites
"This Guy was with Sasuke Uchiha.... Neji, Ten ten...." Lee said as he fell this killer instinct
"It's seem like he stronger than his clothers show off" Neji said
"Hmpf... The hidden sound is a minor village? Is that so?" A group said as they ignore the killer intent from Naruto "Let's play with them a little bit...."
"Hehe... Good idea, calling us leftovers...Let's help him add to his data... That hidden sound Shinobis can be quite vicious" A guy beside him with bandage on his face said
"What a moron... He just turned everyone into his enemy" Shikamaru said as the killer intent of Naruto fading
The others Genins realising this and glaring at him
"What the hell are you doing?!!!" Sakura yell as she want to hit Naruto
"I was just speaking the truth...." Naruto said calmly and dodge the attack
"Should we doing it now?" The guy from earlier ask
"Yes" The bandage guy said as they disappear to attack Kabuto, but Naruto notice that and disappear
"What?" Sakura ask as she realize Naruto disappear in front of her
The two guys who start to attack suddenly stop, because behind each of them was Naruto and a shadow clone with kunai in his hand on their neck
"What are you guys doing...?" Naruto ask cold
"What the hell is happening??" Sakura ask, but what she didn't knew, all of the people in the room has the same question
"So.... you didn't just show off....and you can use Shadow clone...." The bandage guy said
"Who are you?" Naruto ask coldly again but before he could get an answer
"Quiet down! You worthless bastards!!!" Suddenly someone yell as a smoke appear and the examiner appears
"Thanks for waiting....I am Morino Ibiki, the examiner for the Chuunin selection exam's first test..." Ibiki said
"We will now start the first test in the Chuunin exam.... Instead of your current seating arrangments... you will pick one of these taps and sit in the seat assigned to you.... We will then had out the exams" Ibiki said
"I see.... a paper test...." Naruto said calmly, after the assignment they all seat of their assigned seat, Naruto was sitting besides Hinata
"Now... there are many important rules to this first test.... I'll write it on the board while I explain, but questions will not be allowed, so listen carefully" Ibiki said
"The first rule you guys will all start off with 10 points...The test is made up of 10 questions.. and each one is worth a point....well if you answer all the questions correctly you keep your 10 points... But say if you miss three question then you lose three points and will have 7 points...The second rule... this is a team test...whether you pass or not will be determined by the combined score of your teammates...so each team will compete to see how many points they can hold on to from the initial team total of 30... the third rule... during the exam... anyone caught by the testing officers doing sneaky activities, namely cheating... will have 2 points subtracted for every offense... so there will be some who will lose all their points during the exam and be asked to leave" Ibiki said
"Well have our eyes on you" One of the examiner said who sitting on the sides
'I see... so there are ways to lose points besides answering incorrectly...' Sasuke thought
'Interesting....but why not kick them out instead of taking points...unless.....' Naruto thought
'Calm down.... yeah of cours we have Naruto... but as long as Sasuke-kun and I do well....Even if he gets zero points, we just have to cover for him' Sakura thought
"And the final rule... Those that all their initial points during the test and those that don't answer any questions correctly... will be failed along with their two teammates" Ibiki finishing
'Wha...?' Sasuke looking suprise
'What did he say?!!!' Sakura thought
'............I think two people want to kill me....' Naruto thought with a sweatdrop
"Well...the exam will last one hour.... Begin!!!" Ibiki said
'This could be...very very bad...Please don't get zero points' Sakura thought
'Well let's start...' Naruto thought as he looking at the questions
'Dope...don't mess it up....' Sasuke thought
"Ok... First question is a cryptogram...let's do it..." Sasuke mumble
'Those question... they are very complicated.....So I was right.... they want us to cheat...' Naruto thought while smirking
'Heh... I can't anser a single one of these....plus... what's with question 10?' Sasuke smirk (An: Question 10: This question will be revealed 45 minutes after the test begins. Listen to the examiner closely before answering)
Naruto was smirking because he know all the answer like Sakura... Well she wasn't the only one who studied strangly he just need one glance to the book and already knew anything what standing there, at this time Sasuke realize they want that they cheating to see who is worth to become a Chuunin, well so he activate his Sharingan and copying answers
'It's seems like, Sasuke notice.... well not only him....' Naruto thought as finish his exam and see the actions the others make to cheat, Gaara use his sand, Kiba us his dog that called Akamaru, Shino use his insect to gather information, Hinata and Neji using there Byakugan (Evil Eye), and the others doing there things, Hinata didn't know he was finish so she was willing to let Naruto to see her exam, Naruto was suprise but doing handsign that he already finish, Hinata was looking suprise that he was finish without cheating.
Naruto smirking at her suprise face and he notice one of the examiner was looking at him if he cheating, the man smirk but suddenly a voice come from behind him
'Don't worry... I don't cheat...I'm already finish....' the voice vanish, the man was suprise at he looking around to find nothing, then he looking back to Naruto, that was wink at him
'Was that he....? Impossible....' The man wonder but smirking 'Look like he is really good.....'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally the 45 are up
"Ok we will now start the 10th question" Ibiki said
'So now it will be interesting....' Naruto thought
"Now...before we get to it... I'd like to go over the added rules for this questions..."
'Wha--??!' All in the room thought
"I'll now explain...these are the rules of desperation...First for this 10th question... you must decide whether you will take it or not...." Ibiki said calm
"Choose....? Naruto ask
"Well If you choose not to, your points be reduced to Zero.... So you fail along with your two teammates" Ibiki said
"Then why we should not do this question...?" Naruto ask again
"Let me finish....If you choose to take it... and answer incorrectly... that person will lose the right to ever take the Chuunin selection exam again...." Ibiki finish
"WHAT???!!" All of the Genin shout besides the cool one like Sasuke, Gaara, Shino and others
"What kind of stupid rule is that?!! There are guys here who have taken the exam before" Kiba yell
"Hehehehehehe...You guys were unlucky.... This year it's my rules. But I am giving you a way out.... Those that aren't confident can choose not to take it... And try again next year" Ibiki evil smirk
"Those that do not wish to take it, raise your hand....Once your number confirmed leave..." Ibiki said as a few people raise there hand and left with their teammates
'..............I see...... Not bad.....' Naruto thought
'I won't raise my hand... I have confidence that I can answer it....Even if Naruto causes us to fail it's not like I got the question wrong, so I can try next time...but.... Naruto... you're different... you should forget about us and think about the next chance' Sakura thought as another few people raise their hands and leave
'Naruto...why..aren't you raising your hand? he....always acting like a fool who only know one thing ok two.... Hokage and Ramen....I'm sorry... that impossible dream of yours...I don't want to see it crushed...'Sakura thought with a smile as she about to raise her hand but...
"Bring it on!!! I will not run away!!! Even if I'm a Genin forever, I will using my own methods to become the strongest ninja in this world!!!" Naruto shout
'Naruto....' Sakura thought
'Nice going on dope...' Sasuke smirk
'puh... that was close.....what are you thinking Sakura?' Naruto thought with close eyes
"I'll ask you again... Your life is riding on this desicion... This is your last chance to quit..." Ibiki said
"Hmpf I don't care...." Naruto said as he open his eyes looking straight to him
'Interesting kid.... he blasted away everyone's worries.... 78 left... more than I expected' I biki look around
"Good decisions... Now to everyone still remaining....I congratulate you on passing the first test!!!" Ibiki said
"WHAT?!!!!" The Genin yell again
"Wait... What do you mean...? We already pass? What about the 10th question?" Sakura ask
"There never was such a thing or you could say those two choice were the 10th question" Ibiki smile
"I see...." Naruto said suddenly, all of people who take this exam looking at Naruto questionable
"The first nine question was to test our indivedual information gathering ability.... " Naruto continue
"Your right...." Ibiki said a little suprise
"What do you mean?" Temari ask
"Well first the rules exlained success on this test is based on the whole team doing well.... this puts pressure on each member not to mess things up for their teammates.... but the questions... on this test was very difficult for an mere genin could answer and because of that they want us to cheating" Naruto explain
"Yes he is right... the premise of this test is to cheat.... As Cheating targets, we had two Chuunins who knew all the answers mixed into the crowd, to help you guys out" Ibiki said
"So those that cheat poorly fail of course...." Ibiki said as he took his head band and shows his scar and injurys on his head "Because... in times, information is more important than life... And on missions and the battlefield, people risk their lives to get their hands on it"
'horrible... burns, screw holes, scars... the after-effects of torture...' Sasuke thought
"I want you remeber this... Important information in your hands... can be a powerful weapon for your comrade's and for the village....So we had you gather information though cheating...this clearly seperated those that did not have the right abilities" Ibiki smile as he put his head band on
"But... I don't understand the final question..." Temari ask
"Well maybe the blond guy know that too" Ibiki smile again
"Well.. I think the "take it" or "not take" decision, obviously these were painful choices.... those who choose the latter fail along with their teammates... those who choose to take it....So we can lose the chance to ever take the test again... a true leap of faith..." Naruto try to explain
"Well let me explain... Your mission is to steal a secret document... the amount of ninjas, their abilities, etc. is unknown to you....And of cours there could be traps set all around you... Now do you accept, or not accept? Because you don't want to die... because you don't want your comrades hurt...can you avoid the dangerous mission? Well the answer is no!! No matter what the danger there are Missions you can't avoid... The ability to be courageous and survive any hardship... this is the ability needed to become a Chuunin captain...Those who can't put their destinies on the line... Who cling to the uncertain future of "there's always next year" and then walk away from their chance.... Those pieces of trash who can only make such cowardly choices... Don't have the right to become a Chuunin... That's how I feel!!.....And those who choose take it answered the tough 10th question correctly... you will be able to survive any troubles you face in the future...Well You have may through the entrance, the first test of the Chuunin selection exam is now finished I wish you guys luck" Ibiki smile after a long explain
"Hmpf....Thank you very much" Naruto as he standing up and bowing
'Interesting guy....' Ibiki thought with a smile, but all of sudden something come frome the window, a women suddenly standing right in front of them
"..........................." The room are speechless
"You guys!! This is no time to be celebrating!!! I am the examiner for the second test Mitarashi Anko!! Now let's go!!! Follow me!!!" The woman yell
"She remind me of someone" Sakura said with a sweatdrop
"78? Ibiki!! you left 26 teams?!! The test was too easy this time" Anko yell angry to Ibiki
"Well this time....there are a lot of outstanding ones" Ibiki smile
"Bah... That's fine... I'll at least cut them in half in the second test" Anko said
'Strange woman.....' Naruto thought with a frown
"Ah... I'm getting excited... I'll explain everything once... we've changed places, follow me" Anko said exciteas they leave
Ibiki was going to gather the test until he see Naruto his
'What...? the answer... are better than the chuunin we have....it's perfect....hmpf Uzumaki Naruto?...what for a interesting guy' Ibiki smile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Front of the forest of death
"Welcome to the stage for the second test....practice arena 44...also known as The Forest of Death" Anko smirking
"You will soon find out... why it's called the Forest of Death" Anko smile
"Whatever...we should start now... it's boring" Naruto reply
"Hmm..." Anko smile as she suddenly took a kunai and threw it over to Naruto that scratch his cheek and then disappear to appear right behind Naruto and licking his blood
"Kids like you are quickly killed...hehehe... spraying that red blood I love..." Anko said but suddenly a guy appear behind her and give her Kunai back with his tongue and he have the hand band of grass
"Here's you're Kunai..." The creepy guy said
"Why thank you" Anko reply with a smile
"Hmpf... you didn't notice yet....?" suddenly a voice come of the direction where Anko stand before and it was Naruto
"What...?" the crowd ask
"Look closerly....." Naruto reply and pointing to the other Naruto, who Anko hold, then the blood from his cheek turn into water and the whole Naruto disappear in water
"Water clone??" Anko said
'Interesting guy.....' Anko thought
