Kabuto: Hey, you guys
Kabuto: You should be a little quieter
Lucy: Noticed that there was something weird about this guy that something was not right about him
Kurama: Kit keep your eyes open I don't trust this guy and sister noticed it also
Naruto: I know I agree, looks at Lucy and she was looking at me also
Lucy: Looks at Naruto noticed that he had realized it also and he looked at me also, we both nod our head in agreement
Kabuto: You guy's are the "rookie 10" fresh out of the academy, right
Kabuto: Carrying on like that with such cute faces... Damn it
Kabuto: This isn't a field trip
Ino: Who are you? How dare you boss us around
Kabuto: I'm Kabuto Yakushi
Lucy: He's right you guys look
They all noticed that made watched
Kabuto: Behind you they're from the Hidden Rain, they're hot tempered
Kabuto: Everyone is tense before the exams
Kabuto: I thought I warn you guys before you get punched
Kabuto: I guess it can't be helped
Kabuto: You're rookies who don't know left from right
Kabuto: You remind me of my old self
Sakura: Your Kabuto right
Kabuto: Yes
Sakura: This is you second time
Kabuto: No it's my seventh time
Shikamaru: Huh
Kabuto: The exams is only held twice a year so it's now my fourth year
Sakura: Then that mean you know a lot more about these exams
Kabuto: Kind of
Naruto: Oh Kabuto your pretty awesome, huh, I don't trust this guy there is something weird about him
Shikamaru: But he hasn't passed
Kabuto: Yeah well that is the case yes
Shikamaru: Is the Chunin Exams that hard
Shikamaru: Man this is such a drag
Kabuto: Then maybe I'll give a bit of information to my dear juniors
Lucy: What does he mean by that
Kabuto: With these Ninja Info Cards, to put it simply, they're cards that have information buried into them and coded with chakra
Kabuto: Puts my cards on the ground, I spent four whole years gathering information for this exam
Kabuto: There are close to two hundreds of these cards, takes the the cards off the deck, they are blank to the eye, to read the data on these cards
Sakura: What are you doing
Kabuto: The way it works is that no one can see the info, without using my chakra
Kabuto: For example... like this
Sakura: Whoa awesome! What's that info?
Kabuto: The number of applicants and participating nations, add the number of applicants from each respective village is individually displayed
Kabuto: Why do you think that the Chunin exams is jointly conducted in the first place
Lucy: Its to deepen our relationship with the nations and to boost our Shinzo standards, second
Kabuto: Yes
Sasuke: Its said
Kabuto: That's right the real aim is to keep tabs on the Shino I standards of the other nations and keep the balance of powers equal
Naruto: Power... equal
Shikamaru: Why do something so troublesome
Kabuto: If that's not don't, the weaker nations will be invaded by the string nations in no time at all and may end up being controlled unilaterally
Kabuto: There's probably a point to thus mutual checkup
Kabuto: Hmph
Sasuke: Out of those cards, are there ones with detailed individual information?
Kabuto: Yes, there are
Kabuto: Are there ones your concerned about
Sasuke: Yes there are
Kabuto: The information for the applicants this time around is not perfect, but it's been burned in and saved
Kabuto: You guys included
Kabuto: About the ones you know who you're concerned about
Kabuto: As me anything and I'll look it up for you
Sasuke: Gaara of the Hidden Sand and Rock Lee of the Lead
Kabuto: Oh, you know their names, that takes the fun out of it
Kabuto: Here they are
Sasuke: Please show me
Naruto: Looks at Sasuke, I really don't get what's going on but I'll pretend like I do
Kabuto: Well then first is Rock Lee
Kabuto: He a year older than you guys, his missions experience, twenty D-ranks and eleven C-ranks
Kabuto: His squad leader is might Guy
Kabuto: In just this years, his taijutsu has drastically improved, but
Kabuto: His other skills are not good at all
Kabuto: Last year he'd attracted attention a Gemini rookie with his ability
Kabuto: But didn't participate in the Chunin Exam
Kabuto: This is his first time taking the exams, same as you guys
Kabuto: Tenten and Neji are his teammates
Naruto: Huh? Hyuga?
Kabuto: Next up Gaara of the Deseret
Kabuto: His missions experience, eight C-ranks, B-ranks
Kabuto: Wow, one B-rank as a gen in, huh
Kabuto:  He's a shinobi from the Sand and he's a rookie, so there's no further information
Kabuto: But it seems he returned from all his missions uninjured
Shikamaru:B-rank as a Benin and uninjured
Naruto: What is he
Lucy: Just who is this guy
Kabuto: The Leaf, Sand, Rain, Grass, Waterfall, Sound
Kabuto: There all lots of exceptional genin from those villages who have come to take the exams this year as well
Kabuto: As far as the Village Hidden in the Sound goes, it's a village of a small nation that just sprang up in recent years, so there isn't much information
Kabuto: At any rate, they're all Hidden Villages with nothing but the best
Hinata: That kind of makes you lose your confidence
Ino: Why are you saying that now
Sakura: I other words
Sakura: All applicants who have gathered here are all
Kabuto: That's right
Kabuto: Not just Lee and Gaara, but they'll all top elite benign from each nation
Naruto: Hmm
Kabuto: This isn't going to be easy
With Kakashi
Kakashi: Remembers what Iruka said, and what Guy said, I did say that, however I wonder if even the fearless ones are frightened just this time around
Sakura: Stubborn as he is, he consumed by this atmosphere and number of people
Sakura: He's tense
Sakura: It can't be helped even though everyone is genin we're the most inexperienced rookies
Sakura: I'm super uneasy too
Sakura: But, its tough seeing Naruto not being himself, maybe I'll cheer him up a bit
Sakura: Hey Naruto you don't have to so scared, Huh
Lucy: Noticed Naruto was going to say
Naruto: My name is Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto: I'm not gonna lose to any of you! Got it?!
Kakashi: Smiles
Ino: Hey what's with him
Sakura: That idiot would never get depressed how stupid
Ino: I won't do any good to prove everyone
Sakura: Don't tell me
Ino: If I don't tell it to you who do I tell it to
Sakura: What did you say
Naruto: Oh I feel better
Sasuke: Hmph
Lucy: Listen up you all,my name is Lucy Uzumaki a ninja of Konoha Village, And one thing I will tell you is do not underestimate me or you'll regret it
Everyone had shiver goes down there spine

Sakura: No she won't she telling the truth Ino I will not stop her
Sasuke: Smirks at Lucy
Kabuto: Smirks
Kankura: Isn't that the guy and girl from before
Temari: The dogs bark is bigger than its bite
Gaara: Excited
Tenten: Is he an idiot
Neji: He's quit bold and so is that girl she got guts
Lee: He's hot-headed, isn't he
Neji: Maybe you didn't bully him enough, Lee
Lee: Shocked by what Lucy said
Lucy: Shit noticed that the sound village was going to attack appears in front of Kabuto, uses my sword and protects Kabuto from the sound ninja use my celestial dragon roar it had hurt them but that made them even more pissed of they were going to attack again but they stopped by when someone came in the room
Ibiki: Silence! Degenerates!
Ibiki: Hey you from the Hidden Sound Village
Ibiki: You can't just do whatever you want before the exams
Ibiki: Do you want to fail right now
Dosu: Sorry it's our first time taking the exams so we got excited
Ibiki: Hm, this is as a good of time to say this
Ibiki: There will be no battles, competitions and the like without permission of the proctors
Ibiki: And even if you get permission, actions that could lead to the death of an opponent will not be permitted
Ibiki: Any genin that disobeys me will be disqualified immediately
Ibiki: Got it
Lucy: Noticed Haku is one of proctors, smiles at him
Haku: Noticed Lucy smiling at me, nods my head at her
Zaku: Hh, this exam seems like it's gonna be easy
Ibiki: Now then, we will starts the first test of the Chunin Exams
Ibiki:Turn in you applications, take one of the these numbers in exchange, and sit in the seat matching that number
Ibiki: After that, we will hand out the paper for the written test!
Naruto: Written test? Paper?
Naruto: A paper test
Lucy: Sits next to Gaara, noticed Gaara looking at me
Lucy: Smiles at Gaara
Gases: Noticed that she has the same eyes as I do because they held sadness in them
Lucy: Crap this is one of Naruto difficulties, noticed Naruto look depressed
Ibiki: There are several important rules to this first exam
Ibiki: I won't answer any questions so listen well
Sakura: Rules! No question will be answered
Ibiki: Now first rule
Ibiki: You are given ten points each from the starts
Ibiki: The written test has ten problems in all
Ibiki: Each problems is one point
Ibiki: This exam is a point deduction system
Ibiki: You will be deducted one point for each problems you get wrong
Ibiki: If you get three wrong you will end up with seven points!
Naruto: If I get ten wrong I'll have zero points
Ibiki: The second rule
Ibiki: Passing or failing will be determined, by the total points from your three person team team
Everyone shocked
Lucy: Already knows what Ibiki is doing
Sakura: Wait a minute
Sakura: What if you mean by total points from your team,
Ibiki: Shut up
Ibiki: There's a perfectly good reason for this
Ibiki: So shut up and listen
Sakura: Reason
Ibiki: If you get it, the next rule is the mist important!
Ibiki: Those who are deemed by the proctors, as have cheated or doing something similar, will have two points deducted for each act
Sakura: Uh
Ibiki: In other words
Ibiki: There may be those who will be dismissed during exam, before we even grade their tests
Sakura: That means they're dedicating points, for things other than the problems on the written test
Ibiki: Just know that clumsy and sloppy cheating, will bring ruin up yourselves
Kotetsu: I'll check anyone, anytime
Ibiki: If you aspire to become a chunin at all, know that shinobi
Sakura: Calm down, yes...yes
Sakura: Naruto aside, Sasuke and I and Lucy are okay
Sakura: Even if Naruto gets zero points... we can cover that...
Ibiki: Also, if even one person on the team gets zero points
Ibiki: The entire team fails
Sasuke: What
Sakura: What did he say
Naruto: Gulps, I feel two menacing stares
Hinata: Naruto
Ibiki: Also, the last problems will be given out forty-five minutes after the start of the exam
Ibiki: You have an hour total for the test
Ibiki: Begin
Lucy: Using my abilities and Estella's help, didn't my mind if Gaara cheats by looking off my test and cheats
With Kakashi and Kurenai and Asuma talking about there teams
Kakashi: Well anyhow it sure is boring when the subordinates are gone, huh?
Asuma: Well it's definitely gonna get busy soon enough
Kakashi: Why
Asuma: Its the year of the proctors
Asuma: I hear it's Ibiki Morino
Kakashi: Well, passing the first exams seems all but doubtful now
Kakashi: Call the, people, that sadistic, huh
Kurenai: Sadistic
Asuma: Kurenai, your new jonin, so you wouldn't know
Kurenai: Who is this person
Kakashi: He is a pro, a total professional
Kurenai: Professional? Of what?
Asuma: Torture and interrogation
Kurenai: What
Asuma: Well there maybe no physical torture in the exam itself, but he sure to use his skills as an interrogation to torment them psychologically
Asuma: He is
Asuma: The head of the Leaf Village Anbu torture and interrogation corps
Asuma: Ibiki Moreno
Kakashi: You guys can't look down on my little imouto Lucy she is the strongest mage and as a ninja she is a very capable girl, she not like others
Kurenai and Asuma agreed with Kakashi
Back with the Chunins Exams
Lucy: Smiles already knows what Ibiki was going to say
Naruto: A rule bound to make us feel hopeless
Ibiki: First you'll have to choose whether or not you want to take on the tenth question!
Naruto: Huh
Sasuke: Choose whatever or not to answer it
Temari:What, choose
Temari: What happens if you choose not to answer the tenth question
Ibiki: If you choose not to answer it you'll be given a zero
Ibiki: In other words, you fail
Ibiki: And of course, the same goes for the two others in your team!
Ibiki: And there's one more rule
Sakura: Another one
Sakura: Stop messing with us
Ibiki: If you choose to take it and are unable answer it correctly, then you'll have to
Ibiki: Relinquish your right to take the Chunin Exams forever
Kiba: What kind of rule is that
Kiba: Beside there are plenty of people here who taken the Chunin Exams many times
Akamaru: Barks
Ibiki: Laughs, your just unlucky, I make the rules this year
Ibiki: But I did give you the option to go back
Ibiki: For those of you who aren't confident you can choose not to take it and take the exams next year or the year after that
Ibiki: Laughs
Sakura: How terrible
Sakura: If one of the three chooses not to take the exam, then all three will fail
Sakura: If you do choose to take it, but get it wrong
Sakura: Then that person will be a genin for the rest of their life
Sakura: Either way, the odds are against us!
Sakura: Its impossible choice for anyone with normal nerves
Naruto: Shocked
Ibiki: Then let's begin, the tenth question
Ibiki: Those who will not be taking it raise your hands
Ibiki:Once I confirm your number, I'll ask you to leave
Naruto: What kind of question is it going to be
Naruto: Damn it
Naruto: If I get it wrong I'll be a genin for the rest of my life
Naruto: I don't want that
Naruto: But if I choose not to take it, then Sasuke and Sakura and Lucy will fail too I do not want that either
Sakura: I'm not raising my hand
Sakura: I'm confident that I can answer it correctly
Sakura: But
Sakura: But Naruto! your different
Sakura: You should give up this time even if it means to ignore us and think of your next chance to take the exams
Kotetsu: 50 failed! 130, 111 will be failed as well
Lucy: Some of the others have raised there hand also
Sakura: Naruto
Sakur; Why are you raising your hand
Sakura: He's
Sakura: Remembers what Naruto said, I am the super elite ninja who will be called the homage someday! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, remember it!
Sakura: He's always had such a one track mind
Sakura: Saying homage, homage all the time like a fool
Ibiki: Noticed the blonde girl next to the red head had figured everything out
Naruto: Raise my hand hits the table, don't underestimate me I won't run because I'm taking it even if I get stuck as a genin forever I'm will become homage no matter what it takes
Ibiki: Looks over at Lucy and gives her a small smile
Ibiki: You figured it out didn't you Lucy
Everyone looks at Lucy
Lucy: Laughs, Yes I did, it was pretty easy to figure out the reason behind this test
Sasuke: Smirks, way to go Lucy
Sakura: Smiles, that's our Lucy for you
Naruto: Grins, way to go sis
Ibiki: That boy had given everyone a back bone and that has easily figured everything out to everyone shock
Ibiki: Look at the protectors and they were nodding there head
Ibiki: You all pass
Everyone shocked
Sakura: What does that mean your suddenly telling us we passed what about the tenth question
Ibiki: Laughs, it never existed in the first place
Ibiki:You can just consider the choice you just had as the tenth question
Lucy: Giggles
Temari: What, hold on a minute
Temari: Then what were the previous nine questions for
Temari: They were just a waste of time
Ibiki: Bi they weren't, the objective of those nine questions has been accomplished
Ibiki: It was to test your individual ability to gather information
Temari: Ability to gather information
Ibiki: First key to understanding the purpose of the exam, is to look at the first rule that we were testing you not as individuals but as a team
Ibiki: And how to function as part of test as a team
Ibiki: By scoring the exam on a whole team basis, I added the pressure as possibly dragging down your teammates with you
Ibiki: So in that case I imagined most of you would come to the conclusion in order to score points I'll gave to cheat
Ibiki: In other words this exam was created under the pre,use that you all would cheat
Ibiki: For that purpose, I imbedded two fake genins who know the answers among you that you could cheat from
Lucy: Nods my head agreeing with a Ibiki
Naruto: What?! that what it was?
Sasuke: He didn't realize it
Ibiki: However, those who cheated clumsily were naturally disqualified, takes off my head band on my head showing the scars
Ibiki: That's because information depending on the time and situation, can be more valuable than life
Ibiki: And in a mission or on a battlefield, you will all always have to risk your life to fight for it
Sasuke: Horrible burn marks, nail punctures and scratches
Sasuke: All sign of physical torture
Ibiki: When information is gathered and the enemy or a third party finds out about it, that information is no longer guaranteed to be correct
Ibiki: Remember this
Ibiki: This information can be fatal to your friends and the village so that's why out of necessity we forced you guys to cheat in order to test your ability to collect information
Ibiki: And we filtered out those who were clearly lacking in those abilities
Temari: But
Temari: The last question doesn't make any sense
Ibiki: However get tenth question was the main point of thus exam
Sakura: Huh, what do you mean
Ibiki: I'll explain the tenth question was to take on the question or not, needles to say it gas you to painful choices to choose
Ibiki: Thanks who chose not to taken on the question, would be immediately failed along with their whole squad
Ibiki: Those who chose to wander the question and get it wrong would be robbed of their chance take the exams forever
Ibiki: It really an unfair question
Ibiki: So, how about these two choices
Ibiki: Lets say that you guys did become chunin
Ibiki: Your mission is to steal a secret document
Ibiki: You have no idea how many enemy ninjas there are, their abilities, and other armaments they may have
Ibiki: On top of that, there may be the possibility of enemy traps, so this mission will accept it?Or not?
Ibiki:Because you want you life spared, because your partners will be put in danger
Ibiki: Can close to avoid dangerous missions
Ibiki: The answer is
Ibiki: No
Ibiki: There are going to be mission you cannot avoid, no matter how risky or dangerous they may be
Ibiki: Showing your courage to your teammates in a difficult situation,and the ability get through hardship
Ibiki: This is the quality that needed in a chunin leader
Ibiki: In critical moments there will be there who don't want to ridge their lives,those who waver and give up because they think they will have another chance to try again " next year"
Ibiki: I believe they're fools who don't have the determination or the right to became chunin
Ibiki: For those who choose to take on the question, we can say that you have successfully answered the difficult tenth question
Ibiki: You'll be able to take on the adversity that may lie in your way
Ibiki: You passed through the gates
Ibiki: The first exam in the Chunin Exam is over, I wish you well
Naruto: That's right wish us well
Everyone looking at Naruto
Lucy: Giggles seriously Naruto what am I going to do with
Ibiki: He's a funny kid
Ibiki: Looks at the window and the window breaks
Naruto: What's going on
Ibiki: Damn it not this one
Anko: You guys
Anko: This isn't the time to be celebrating
Anko: I'm the proctor for the second exam, Anko Mitarshi
Anko: Lets move on to the next stage, all right
Anko: Follow me
Ibiki:Read the atmosphere
Sakura: This proctor kind of like Naruto
Anko: 78?! Ibiki!
Anko: You let 26 teams slide by
Anko: I guess, the first exam this time around was to be easy
Ibiki: It seems like this time tiger are lot of excellent candidates
Anko: Well, all right
Anko: I'll drop more than half of them in the second exams
Sakura: Shocked, more than half
Anko: I'm getting excited, I'll give you the details tomorrow
Anko: We'll be changing locations, so get information from your jonin about the location and the time
Anko: That's it, dismissed
Ibiki: Grabbed the paper where Lucy was sitting at, noticed there was something written, read it, I had a feeling that you were going to make it harder for everyone by torturing them, but everything went well, laughs
Ibiki: Grabs another paper, Naruto Uzumaki was written on it
Ibiki: Laugh, I didn't think there'd be someone who'd pass with a blank sheer
Ibiki: Naruto Uzumaki he's a really funny one, they both sure are high spirited
