Fox In The Leaf

A Snake in the forest

Naruto sat on the ground next to the windows, as he watched Anko say she would get the numbers down by more than half. 'Wonder what the next trail will be?'. He was brought out of his thoughts when Anko walked up to him

Anko bent down to look at Naruto with a wide grin on her face "hey gaki ready for a fun trip?" Naruto was tilted his head in confusion but didn't get the chance to say anything since Anko picked him up and tossed him over her shoulder

"Anko-nee-chan! I can walk myself"

"Maybe but this is more fun" Anko then turned to the rest of the participants and yelled "meet me at Training ground 44! Be there in thirty minutes or else you're disqualified!"

Naruto heard where they were going and got a big smile on his face 'I haven't been there in a long time! I wonder if Kuma-san is still mad at me hehehehe'.

Anko then jumped out the still open window with Naruto on her shoulder

Everyone remained in their seats at see the proctor of the next stage of the exam basically kidnap one of the participants

The rookie nine all had the same thought ran through their head

'Wonder how Naruto-san/kun knows that crazy woman'

Ino was one of two that felt a bit of jealousy at the idea that Naruto knew a woman that seemed confident not just in personality but in her body as well. Based on the way she dressed, the woman had no shame in showing off her curves. Ino looked down at her breasts and felt even more jealous at the size the woman had compared to herself

The second person was Hinata as she thought at the confidence the woman had, something that Hinata wished she had even a small portion of so she could tell Naruto how she felt. She was a little jealous at the figure the woman had. The thing was she felt that even if she had such a figure it wouldn't matter since she was already hiding a figure that was a few levels higher than her peers but no one knew since she wore somewhat baggy clothes that hide her body from everyone

Both girls shook themselves out of their thoughts when they noticed their teammates leaving the room. Both rushed to catch up with them to get to the training ground

Ibiki had waited a few minutes after the students left before he dismissed the chunin from the room as he began walking passed the desks picking up each sheet of paper. Once he made it to where Naruto was sitting he noticed something on the desk: it was an orange pencil. Now normally this wouldn't be anything to worry about but all the pencils that were distributed were all green in color. He counted the green pencils that were on the desk and the number corresponded with the amount that were seated in this row. He jumped back when a poof of smoke appeared where the pencil was. He shifted his arm so a kunai could slip out of his sleeve in case he needed to get ready for a fight

"Finally I can breathe easier…...even if I don't need to"

Ibiki stared wide eyed as the smoke cleared to show Naruto sitting on top of the desk "what are you doing here kid? I thought you left with Anko?"

Naruto looked towards Ibiki as he gave a foxy smile "hey grumpy scarface!". Naruto could tell it the name pissed him off as the tick mark on his forehead was clearly visible. Naruto would have kept pushing the man's buttons but he gained a serious look as he looked into Ibiki's eyes "Ibiki-sama, there is something I needed to tell you alone"

Ibiki was taken aback at how serious the kid got. Not once has he seen the kid this way. From the little interaction he had with the boy, he knew that there was severe hurt that was hidden behind the smile but this was new to him "what is it"

"I was told by Hokage-sama that if I ever came across anyone that smells of snakes that wasn't Anke-nee-chan, then I am to tell either her or you alone."
