When the duo reached the correct room, Kakashi was waiting for them in front of it.

"I can understand Sakura not coming, but what happened to Sasuke?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders.

"They are both here, but Sasuke had to act cool, so they got delayed for a bit."

Kakashi nodded in understanding and proceeded to wait for them. While they were waiting, more and more teams kept pouring into the room. This also included Neji, who gave Yuna a death glare but didn't say anything.

'Should I "kill" him again? Seems like he still hasn't learned his lesson.'

Kakashi noticed Neji's glare and got a little curious.

"Do you have a grudge with him?"

"He has a grudge with me. He seems to think that he is some kind of heaven-sent genius, so I trapped him inside a genjutsu and killed him inside it."

"I didn't know you could use genjutsu as well."

Yuna shrugged and gave her answer.

"I can, but I never do. With my chakra control, using a genjutsu or two isn't hard, but I didn't put any time into training it. That guy could have probably broken out of it rather quickly if I didn't act instantly."

"Well, "that guy" was last year's top scorer and is said to be a genius."

Yuna only snorted at that.

"So he can answer a bunch of questions correctly, can use the three basic jutsu, can hit an unmoving target with shuriken and kunai, and the Hyuga clan is spreading propaganda about how awesome the members of the main family are. Big deal. If he were such a genius, then why is he still a genin?"

Now that Yuna had dismantled his statement like this, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

'Now that I think about it, that is true. Being the top scorer in the academy doesn't matter at all, without Sasuke, Sakura would be this year's top scorer, after all. I am not sure about the propaganda part, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Hyuga clan did something like this. I could probably ask Guy for more information, but I don't care enough to do it.'

A few moments later, Sasuke and Sakura arrived as well and Yuna really wanted to applaud Sasuke for how dedicated he is to his Dao.

'We left him alone for a few minutes and he somehow managed to get his ass kicked. Is he trying to break some kind of chunin exam record?'

After the group gathered, Kakashi gave them a few more words, wished them good luck, and then told them to enter the room.

As soon as they entered, a weak wave of killing intent hit them, but even Sakura didn't falter from it.

'Guess fighting those thugs during the mission in the Land of Waves toughened her up at least a little.'

"Wow, I didn't think this many people would be taking the exam!"

Yuna shrugged at Naruto's exclamation.

"Yeah, but most of them are small fry. I guess around ten will make it to the last round."

The killing intent directed at Yuna immediately increased, but she didn't care about that. People that can't even stand such a little taunt aren't worth her time.

Moments later, Naruto was hug-tackled from behind.

"Yo, Naruto, Yuna, we haven't seen each other for a while now."

Yuna gave the person, Ino, a nod.

"Hello, Ino. Guess you were just as busy as we were. We should have dinner together after the exams are over."
