"Today's the day." Narumi stated gravely as she and Shikamaru went to the exam building to meet their teams and begin the cursed Chunin exams.

"Hmm." Shikamaru grunted rubbing his eyes annoyed.

"The beginning of the end." Narumi went on.

"Do you really have to monologue our impending doom?" Shikamaru cast a sideways glance at the orange clad Genin.

"I think it makes things more exciting." Narumi grinned cheekily and ducked a swing from Shikamaru's arm.

"Like we need anymore excitement during this exam." Shikamaru snorted as the two came into view of the rest of their teammates.

"Understatement, time to show them a more serious side of Narumi Uzumaki." Narumi said in a low voice before simply raising a hand at Sakura and Sasuke who just huffed or 'hn'ed and looked away.

"About time." Ino commented at Shikamaru who just rolled his eyes and the group entered the building.

"Okay we need to go to the third floor." Sakura said looking up from the slip of paper Kakashi-Sensei had given her.

"Before we go any further, Sakura-Chan I want you to know that I will never give up no matter what the task or question is. I will never walk away from it, I expect you to do the same." Narumi commented to the pink haired Genin in a serious voice and she blinked taken back.

"Okay, I will remember that Narumi." Sakura nodded, not having expected that from the blonde.

"Okay, let's go then." Narumi nodded and strode forward with her head and shoulders held high and sturdy, Shikamaru noted it was the same one she used when she led the troops on the front lines as Hokage. Shikamaru quickly fell into step with the blonde at her right with the rest of the two teams following closely behind them.

Narumi spotted Team Gai right away and waved cheerfully at Lee and TenTen who waved back before moving on, Shikamaru smiled glad they avoided the Sasuke Vs. Lee fight. Lee had worked hard on his Taijutsu and it was unfair that Sasuke could copy it the moment he saw it. The only reason he and Narumi knew it was because Lee and Gai taught them their type of Taijutsu, the same was said for learning the Hyuga's clan style from Neji and Hinata.

They spotted Team Eight yelling at a Chunin to let them pass, but Shikamaru, Narumi and Sasuke saw through it simply. Shikamaru motioned to his team and silently they walked pass the crowd and up to the true third floor.

"Where are they going?" Sakura hissed at Narumi.

"The real third floor, this is a Genjutsu." Narumi whispered and quickly slapped her hand over Sasuke's mouth.

"Don't say a word, if they can't even see pass a weak level Genjutsu then they shouldn't be competing." Narumi hissed and proceeded to drag the Uchiha up the stairs to the real third floor and smiled as Shino said something to his team and Kiba huffed, but followed Shino's lead and silently left the crowd.

"Maa, my kawaii Genin's you made it here and as a team no less." Kakashi said with an eye smile as he appeared in a puff of smoke as Team 7 arrived on the third floor. He bit back a smile at the sight of Narumi having her hand over Sasuke's mouth and dragging him.

"What do you mean by that Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura asked confused.

"He means Sakura-Chan, that if we arrived not as a team then we wouldn't be able to move onto the next part of the exam." Narumi fielded the question and Kakashi nodded his head signaling Narumi was correct.
