Well, This Just Happened

『Anko's pov』

The moment I somersaulted into the exam room, I received chills and not the good ones. I started saying my practiced lines, only for this great Anko find out that I'm early. Again.

I look around the room, and was more than surprised to see more than a handful of participants. Was Ibiki going soft?

"Or, it could be a stronger crop of candidates this year" It was, almost, strange hearing Ibiki say those words. And, to be honest I didn't really wanna believe it, looking at these maggots there was barely anyone here, who looked tough. Then, my eyes swept past a tuff of bright blond hair. He wasn't looking at me, but I almost stared at him. There was an unidentified air around him, but one thing was clear that air and vibe around him was certainly dangerous. My instincts were telling me to not get close to 'it', but when have I ever listened to my instincts anyway? I'm gonna find out what that Jinchūriki is hiding behind those bright smiles.

「Kabuto's pov」

I pushed my glasses up, and sighed. The first exam is already stressful and a hassle all the same, it certainly isn't it good for me. But, with this hassle I also learned something new.

The Jinchūriki, he isn't normal. My Ninja Info Cards are never wrong, that house of his, that was true. But, his personality, and skills that are on the Ninja Info Cards, they're most likely wrong with the show he put on today along with his info on the instructor, there's no second guessing it and earlier in the exam what he said..

"You reek of snakes, Kabuto.."

He couldn't possibly know, could he? There's a probability he does, but there's also a probability he doesn't. It was, at the moment, the most frustrating and confusing thing he had ever dealt with at the moment.

(but, if he had the choice to experience this or that mission Orochimaru-sama gave him, he'd choose this any day)

There's so much more than meets the eye with the Kyūbi Jinchūriki. It was 'almost' frightening.
Little did I know those words will come back to bite me, and it may bite soon...

「Kakashi's Pov」

Naturally , when I heard that my team had passed. I was proud, but I still had a sense of worry for my blond student! But, I'll worry about banshee and emo, too. Since they are my precious genins! I hum a small tune, as I lazily walk around looking fot my students as more participants walked out. It was also natural that I was looking for a bright yellow and orange combo in the crowd. To spot my students, of course!

It was worrying when I couldn't find it, but I heard familiar shout of "Kakashi-sensei!" in the background, I look around and there I find the familiar bla- Blond hair. Blond hair.

I gave a small wave towards them, as I noticed Naruto wearing different clothes. 'He's looking more and more-' No, this is Naruto Uzumaki. Your teachers son, that you shouldn't like but what can you do now? it's already too late for that, and you should stay away as much as possible, less you wanna do something you shouldn't.

Keep calm, and cool Kakashi. You can do this!
"Ah, Naruto. You've had new change of fashion, I see." I watched happily as the blond gave a bright smile "Yep! I totally did Kakashi-sensei"

I smiled, behind my book and said "Congratulations on passing the first phase of the Exam, be careful on the second one. Your instructor isn't someone you should take too lightly" The blond smiled brightly at him and replied with a "Yes, sensei!" While Sakura and Sasuke gave a small nod. In this moment, it became note worthy that Sasuke was been staring at Naruto, and probably has been for the past few minutes.
