Chapter 24
No need for written Test.
Chunin Exam, Room 301.
As team 7 entered the room, they were hit by K.I.(Killing Intent) from the room, Sasuke and Sakura were a bit tense about the intent, Naruto on the other hand wasn't bothered by it, he just puts his pinky in his ear digging for earwax and blows it away, considering he's been training by Ryoko, to him, all the people in the room felt like little 2 year olds throwing tantrums.
He was about to "hit back" just as much, but then there was a cry of "NARUTO-KUNNN~" as he was tackled by a blond missile, of course Mimi jumped in surprise at her big brother being tackled, meaning she landed on the floor safely, though meowing and hissing in anger at being surprised.
Naruto was laying on the floor with swirly eyes, it turns out the blond missile was no-one else but Ino, straddling on his waist, though she wasn't complaining, she was rubbing her cheek with his, with a happy smile, "Did you miss me, Naru~kun." she finishes.
Naruto, still disoriented, manages to get out, "~Ino, W-We met and trained yesterday~" His head was finally getting organised after that, Mimi next to him still angry.
Sasuke just sighs at the sight, so much for not drawing attention, though some were ignoring them now, and others started ignoring them as well, seems everyone thought their team was weak if one of them couldn't handle a little girl, but that would give them the advantage, if someone weak tries to attack them, it'll make things easier for them.
Sakura on the other hand was angry at Ino for behaving so inappropriately, she learned from Ayeka that a young lady doesn't tackle anyone, you see while Naruto and Sasuke were training with Ryoko (more like getting their ass handed to them.) Sakura was being trained by Ayeka, not in the fighting arts but more on the diplomatic side of things, because no doubt the team'll be put on such missions that the team agreed that when it comes to those things Kakashi and Sakura should handle them.
But of course such training got Sakura thinking like Ayeka, which caused Naruto and Ryoko to tease them both, and well you get the picture.
Seeing Ino on top of her big brother figure, started Sakura off, which started Ino off, which in turn got her off of Naruto and the pink and blond girl butted heads.
With Ino off, gave Naruto a chance to sit up, with Mimi hopping back on top of his head, that is until a group of others came up.
Hearing a tied voice, "Oh, it's you guys," Getting team 7's atention, seeing Shikamaru with his hands in his pockets and Choji munching away with his crisps, though Naruto just smirks, remembering the tor-training he put Shikamaru and Chouji through, "I knew this was gonna be a drag, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to face you of all people, Naruto."
The 2 teams know what Shikamaru was talking about, hell Naruto told Sasuke and Sakura about chasing Shikamaru around for training, Naruto on the other hand just grinned a Washu smile, "Oh, was that a request for more training~" Naruto asks in a singsong voice.
Hearing that type of voice and what Naruto said, sent shivers down team 7 & 10's spines, Shikamaru had it worse, having flashbacks of all the running, jumping and diving he had to do, the only thing he could say at the moment was, "T-Troublesome." with slight fear.
Before anything else, 3 more people turned up, "Well, well, what do you know," team 7 & 10 turned to see team 8 turning up.
Kiba, the 1 who talked first, "It looks like the whole gangs back together again." He finishes with a cocky smirk.
Hinata walks up to Naruto, gave him a hug and says, "Hi Naruto-kun, glad you could make it." After she finishes talking and hugging, Mimi jumps from Naruto's head and into Hinata's arms, with a happy meow, then scrambles up to Hinata's shoulder, making the Hyuga giggle at Mimi's antics, with Mimi rubbing her cheeks up against the happy Hyuga, causing the rookie 9 to smile, chuckle and giggle at such a cute thing.
Shikamaru then starts complaining, "You guys too huh, man everyones in this stupid thing."
Kiba starts again, with a laugh, "Yep, here we all are, the 9 rookies, hah ha, this is gonna be fun." He then looks towards Sasuke and Naruto, still being the Alpha he thinks he is, "At least, for those of us good enough to make the cut, right Sasuke, Naruto."
As the 3 boys were bantering, a new person turned up, "Hey you guys," gaining the 9's atention, "You might want to try keeping it down a little." The 9 looked at the stranger questionably, "I mean no offence, but you're the 9 rookies right, fresh out of the academy, I wouldn't go making a spectacle of yourself, just cool it, this isn't a class field trip."
Ino, moving back to hanging onto Naruto, got insulted at the silver-haired stranger, "Well who asked you, who are you!?" Naruto puts a hand on her shoulder to calm her down, he felt something off with the teen, but he didn't know what, he even felt Mimi's insecurities about the guy too, but without anything to back-up his feeling, he has no choice but not to intervene.
The stranger, undeterred, starts introducing himself, "I'm Kabuto Yakushi, but really look around you," Taking the now named Kabuto's advise the 3 teams looked around, with Kabuto finishing, "You made quite the impression."
Everyone, other than the 9 rookies, were glaring at them, ether over their shoulder or down right glaring, Kabuto then starts explaining seriously, "Everyone's tense right now, and you wouldn't want to rub them the wrong way now,"
Then Kabuto starts to explain what's happening, though Naruto felt insulted, he knows he needs to stay focused at the moment, oh he could pretty much decimate everyone, but where's the fun in destroying the competition.
Then Kabuto gets out a pack of cards, he starts explaining about the different villages and who's joining the exam, after everything was said and done, with Sasuke asking about Lee and his team, along with Naruto asking about Gaara and his. (A.N. everything is basically canon, Kabuto tells them about Oto, they attack, Ibiki interrupts, that kinda thing.)
Naruto sitting next to Hinata, has Mimi sitting on his head again, both looking at the question sheet for the written exam, but thanks to the fact that Mimi is a "computer," both Naruto and Mimi synchronized with each other without anyone noticing, with Naruto writing the answers down.
After the hour was up, everyone was waiting for the 10th question. (A.N. Which again turns out to be canon, though Naruto gave Sakura a look saying 'You can do it' along with Hinata, she may have gotten more confidence but this test pretty much made everyone nervous.)
After the "10th question" was answered by some people staying, Ibiki was about to explain the next stage for the Chunin Exam, until a black object smashed through the window, which unfolded with lettering saying, "SEXY AND SOON TO BE, ANKO UZUMAKI!" with a certain dango/Naruto lover standing before it.
The woman yelled out, "ALRIGHT MAGGOTS, FOLLOW ME TO THE SECOND STAGE!" When no-one moved, though Naruto was trying to hide his chuckles, Ibiki moved, showing half his face and says to Anko, "You're early again, Anko" causing the woman to flinch and slight blush at such a thing.
Though seeing Anko's slight blush finished Naruto off, he couldn't contain it and started laughing, though when Anko heard, then saw who was laughing, she crosses her arms and started to pout at being made fun of.
Naruto, seeing the cute pout, smiles and shakes his head, he then flickers away, only to appear floating behind Anko, trying to catch her eyes, but she wouldn't have it, "Awe, come on Anko-chan, you know I love ya, and that I just tease because you look so cute with that pout.~" Hearing Naruto call her cute made her blush even more, in a fit of blushing rage she took a swing at him, but he floated away, smiling that smile that just makes her ether want to knock his block off or have him in front of everyone, but that wasn't gonna happen.
Shocking everyone, besides the rookie 9, at Naruto for having such a bloodline, Naruto then whispers something into Anko's ear.
So Anko, only slightly pouting, exclaims, "ALRIGHT, FINE, LET'S JUST GET ON WITH THIS." Naruto just smiles and flickers once more, appearing behind Anko, still floating in the air, with his arms hugging her like a scarf.
Though, Ino and Hinata understands Anko is one of Naruto's girls, they couldn't help but think to themselves, "Lucky!" Since Naruto is "hanging" all over her.
Anko just smiles at the way Naruto was telling the competition that she was taken and no-one can have her.
Naruto, knowing where to go, separates from Anko, though before his hand got too far away, Anko flashes a Kunai in hand, shocking everyone at what she's done, Naruto with surprised eyes, like someone just slapped him, simply says "Oh well, I guess I deserved that, after picking on you." He moves his right hand over to cup his face, the only problem was there was no right hand.
Turns out Anko had took a Kunai and sliced Naruto's right hand off his arm, though everyone was too shocked to even noticed his severed hand catching fire and turning to ash.
He moves to behind Anko, bringing both arms to the front of her, still showing his missing right hand, he lifts up his left index finger, that had a almost tiny light on the end, and made a grand show of it, placing the right wrist of where his hand use to be in the palm of his left, the next part shocked everyone.
The so called missing right hand was back, as though it was never cut off in the first place, giving Ibiki a look that says, 'best if you tell everyone where to go,' he just smiles and chuckles at everyones shocked looks.
Giving Anko a look that says, 'follow my lead,' Naruto bows with her in a great showmanship kinda way, while saying, "See you there!~" The two of them then phased through the floor and vanishes.
Ibiki, getting his composure before anyone else, coughs in his hand and tells everyone to go to Training Ground 44, better known as the Forest Of Death.
