As soon as Team 7 stepped into the examination room, they were hit by a flood of killing intent. While this would have terrified most Genin, Team 7 were previously exposed to the Killing Intent of Momoichi Zabuza, one of the most proficient killers to ever exist. Therefore, the combined intent from a bunch of Genin didn't even come close to stacking up to the Kirigakura no Kijin. Sakura still trembled though, being of a weaker constitution then her teammates. Sasuke, had an eager grin on his face. Despite the humiliating defeat he suffered a few minutes ago, he was still raring to fight strong opponents. Naruto didn't even blink. He experienced the raw power and intent of the Kyuubi on a daily basis, the feeling given off in this room was a complete joke to him. He just kept his outwardly polite demeanour and went over to a corner of the room not too far from his teammates and leaned up against the wall. It was a strategic position that protected his back whilst simultaneously giving his a clear view of all the Chuunin hopefuls in the room.
He spotted the team from Suna team he ran into a week earlier and waved happily at them, causing Temari to smirk at him, in what he assumed was supposed to be a sexy way, Kankuro just scowled at him and Gaara did nothing but stare unblinkingly at him. His impromptu staring contest with his new 'friend' was interrupted by an annoyingly familiar screech.
"Sasuke-kun! What took you so long? I've been eagerly waiting for you since I heard that I could see you for the first time in months." Came the annoyingly high pitched voice of Yamanaka Ino, one of Sasuke's biggest fan-girls and Sakura's 'rival', as she jumped on said boys back. He assumed that she was trying to be seductive, but it kind of fell flat as her voice came off as nasally. Naruto didn't care much for the girl as he didn't really know her apart from her desperate desire to spread her legs for his brooding teammate. Ok maybe that was a little harsh, but Naruto has always had sick sense of humour. He never voiced those thoughts out though, he just entertained himself and his equally twisted tenant with them.
"Ino-pig! Let go of Sasuke-kun!" Screeched the resident howler monkey, Sakura.
"Oh my, it you, Sakura. Your forehead is wide and you're still ugly....us usual." Commented the blonde Yamanaka, much to the ire of his pink headed teammate.
"What did you say?!" Seethed Sakura as she watched her former friend poke her tongue out at her.
If Naruto didn't have to keep up his outwardly polite and friendly demeanour, he would be rubbing his temples in exasperation at the childish behaviour of these two idiots in a room full of potential enemies who would have no problems killing them. He really needed to speak to Iruka-sensei about the teaching methods of the academy.
"What, are you guys taking this troublesome exam, too?" Said the lazy voice of Nara Shikamaru. He still looked the same as Naruto remembered him, with his pineapple shaped ponytail and half-lidded look in his eyes. But Naruto knew that behind that lazy exterior, was one of the most brilliant and analytical minds in the village. But it was just too 'troublesome' for the boy to use. He was accompanied by the big-boned Akimichi Chouji, who was, as always, snacking on some potato chips. Shikamaru along with Chouji and Ino, made up Team 10.
"Yahoo! Looks like everyone's finally here." Said the loud voice of Inuzuka Kiba. He was one of the members of Team 8. He was a bit of a braggart, not to mention arrogant, but Naruto knew he could be an okay guy if it came down to it. He just needed a few more years to mature. It didn't make him any less annoying though. He viewed himself as being the 'alpha male' of the group. He had his faithful partner, Akamaru, a trademark nin-dog of the Inuzuka clan, riding atop his head.
"Hello..." Spoke the soft voice of Hyuuga Hinata. She was always a quiet and shy girl who kept to herself most of the time. She was never a Sasuke fan-girl, which was a plus in Naruto's book. But she was always a little weird around him. Nervously stuttering and fainting in his presence...Eh?...now that he thinks about it....it might be that she has a crush on him? Huh? Is that possible? The girl who is the closest to being an actual princess in this village, probably just behind Senju Tsunade herself, has a crush on him? The village pariah. While he had nothing against the girl, and she was pretty cute, he wasn't ready for a relationship yet, but he would keep her in his peripheral vision. It didn't mean he couldn't be friends with her. She had always been kind to him, and he would be damned if the acted like a brooding asshole, like Sasuke, to her.
