Chapter 34: (Chunin Exams 1st Phase)

"Sasuke-Kun, You're late." A sweet voice was heard as Ino ran towards me and jumped onto me while hanging on my neck. "I thought I'd be able to see you for the first time in a while. So I was waiting in excitement" Ino said while I glared at her. However, she did not notice the Sakura beside who had turned into a pink demon. "Get away from Sasuke" she shouted.

"If it isn't Sakura" Ino stared at Sakura. I lifted her hand off my shoulder and said "Cut it out you two. Now concentrate on the exams." At this time a duo came by. "Are you guys going to take this bothersome exam too?" Shikamaru asked while Chouji was busy eating chips beside him. "Yo Shikamaru, how have you been doing?" naruto asked. "Not well. My team dragged me into this useless exam 'it's such a drag'" Shikamaru said.

"Yahoo, I found you!" Kiba said as he approached the group along with his team. "My my, everybody's here." Kiba smiled. "This means all nine genin rookies are taking the exam, eh. Now then how far can we go? eh? Sasuke-Kun " Kiba said as he looked towards me. "You're mighty confident Kiba" I replied. "We've trained a lot more than you guys have," Kiba replied.

"oh yeah, are you sure Kiba? I sure won't lose to the likes of you" naruto said. "says the guy who failed the graduation exam three times"Kibaa countered. meanwhile, Chouji approached Kiba, looking at Akamaru as though it was food, but Shino interrupted. "don't step on it" Chouji looked down to see a bug crossing his way as his eyes followed it "you're gonna eat that?" Chouji asked.

"Hey you guys!" a voice called out to the group.

We all saw a man walk through. "you should be a little quieter. You guys are the 'rookie nine' fresh out of the academy, right? carrying on like that with cute faces man. This isn't a field trip." Kabuto said as he faced us. "Who're you? acting all haughty" into asked in a displeased manner of speech.

"I'm Yakushi Kabuto anyway, take a good look around you behind you they're from the hidden rain village. They're hot-tempered. Everyone's tense before the exam. I thought I'd warn you guys before you get your butts whipped. But I guess it can't be helped you rookies who don't know left from right all remind me of my old self" Kabuto said as he pitied himself.

"You're Kabuto right?" Sakura stepped out. "Is this your second time?" she asked. "Nope, this is my 7th time" Kabuto replied causing everybody's expression to change. "huh!" Shikamaru reacted.

"This exam is only held twice a year so it's now my fourth year." He added. "Then that means you know a lot about these exams?" Sakura asked excitedly. "But you haven't passed yet?" Shikamaru asked. Kabuto scratched his head as he said "yeah well, that is the case, yes."

"Is the chuunin exam that high a hurdle? Man, this is even more troublesome than I thought" Shikamaru sulked. "Then, maybe I'll give a bit of information to my cute juniors". Kabuto continued as he took out a bunch of cards. He started giving out the demographic of ninjas across the villages after which he started giving out details on a few important ninjas.

Naruto stepped in and asked, "I need information on Gaara of the Sand and his teammates." Kabuto started compiling the information. "Gaara of the Sand. His mission experience is eight C-ranks, and one B-rank as a genin wow. He is a ninja from the sand village in the wind nation and is a rookie, so there is no further information on him. But there is one thing. It seems he has returned from all of his mission uninjured" Kabuto concluded."B-rank as a genin. but uninjured?!" Shikamaru was shocked.

Suddenly a smoke appeared after which slowly a number of silhouettes were visible. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I'm Ibiki Morino, proctor for the first test of the chuunin exam" Ibiki had a large imposing figure, he had two vicious-looking scars running across his face. "This is a good opportunity, so I'll say this. There will be no battles and competitions and the like, without the permission of the proctors. And even if you get the permission, actions that could lead to the death of an opponent will not be permitted. Anyone that screws with my conditions or me will be disqualified immediately. Got it?" Ibiki asked as he stared at the ninjas looking at him.

"This exam looks to be easy!" a man with an attitude commented. "Now then, we will start the first test of the chuunin exam. Turn in your applications, take one of these number cards in exchange, and sit in the seat matching that number. After that, we will hand out the paper for the written test" Ibiki concluded upon which everyone started to submit their papers and sat down on their assigned seat.
