(An: Sorry for taking so long, I was working on a story that has been in my head for a while. Also the video isn't tied to the story. If you want to watch it, go on ahead.)

{Chapter Start}

We find team 7 about to enter the Ninja academy for the Exams to move higher in the ranks. Naruto and Satsuki looked ready for the challenges they were about to face and prove that they were ready for the next ranking in the ninja world. Meanwhile, Sakura was staring at Satsuki in her genjustsu. Naruto was wearing a black battle kimono with a dark orange undershirt, dark violet pants, and blue sandals. Satsuki was wearing a white shirt with her clan symbol on the back, dark blue arm warmers, gray shorts, and blue sandals. The only different thing about Sakura was she cut her hair because it got too long, and even then Naruto had to "persuade" her in his own way. Now her hair was shoulder length. The team started to walk into the Academy without saying a single word to each other.

Eventually, they found themselves in a crowd of chunin hopefuls all crowding around a door that had the numbers 303 above. Team 7 knew that this was a trick because they only went up one floor. Naruto and Satsuki knew that this was a trick, so they decided to walk by. Unfortunately, they hadn't taken their dumbest and most incapable teammate to attract as much attention as her mouth could, "YOU IDIOTS, THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND FLOOR.". Naruto and Satsuki looked completely pissed off. Their plan was to sneak away while the crowd was distracted, but instead they found themselves the center of the attention something a real Ninja would not want for themselves. "You must be "Sauske" Uchiha, the so called best of the new kids. Let's see what you've got." one of the 'chunin' said before going to kick Satsuki, who was about to counter, if Lee hadn't caught the two fighters legs before they connected, "Apologies, but I don't think this would be a wise course of action "Sauske". We should save our strength." the green clad ninja informed his friend. Just then, the last of Team 9 minus their Sensei showed up. "Lee, wasn't it you who said that we shouldn't show our real abilities until the Exams started." Tenten took a look at the members of Team 7 and waved at Naruto, who waved right back. The two used to be best friends when they were in the orphanage, they saw each other as an older/younger sibling that they could rely on. Satsuki saw Hinata's cousin approach her. She couldn't remember his name, but didn't really care either way.

"You must be "Sauske" Uchiha. You don't look like much." "Well, I didn't really ask you for your opinion now did I?" Satsuki retorted, which got Neji enraged. He went to try and fight her, but our blonde hero and his surrogate sister got in the way of the potential fight. "Calm down Neji. We need to save our strength for the Exams." Tenten tried to reason with her teammate, mostly because she didn't want her surrogate brother to get involved. Naruto gently grabbed at Satsuki's shoulder and shook his head, "We should save our energy for when it matters. Now come on we don't want to be late.", with that said, teams 7 & 9 went to the next floor where the Exams would be.

{Entrance to the Written Exam}

Naruto, Satsuki, and Sakura after an hour, came to a stop at the entrance to the exam. They went to the doors and opened them and hundreds upon hundreds of genin teams trying to intimidate them with KI. While it did work on Sakura, Naruto and Satsuki on the other hand, released a burst of their KI. After that, all the genin didn't even look at Team 7. Naruto found himself blinded by hands who he knew were Ino's. "Guess who?" "Does she wear purple?" "Yep" "Does she have blonde hair?" "Right again" Naruto smirked and said, "I'm gonna say her name is Ino". The hands that were covering his eyes moved out of the way, "Right you are mister." With that done, Ino turned Naruto around and kissed him right on the mouth. They stayed like that until they ran out of breath. Satsuki, while not jealous that Ino kissed Naruto, she was jealous that she could do it in public and not have to worry. The moment was killed when Sakura screeched out, "HEY, PIG WHY ARE YOU MAKING OUT WITH THAT IDIOT?! FINALLY REALIZE THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE "SAUSKE"?!" Everyone covered their ears in an attempt to stop the ringing they heard after the banshee was done with her screen speech. Ino was about to retort, when they heard a giant poof. They all turned to the center of the class to see a bunch of chunin and a man wearing his headband as a bandana.

{To Be Continued}

(An: Sorry this took so long and ended up short, but I had to get some school work done and have a test coming up. As usual, if have ANY feedback or comments, write them. See you guys in the next chapter. Also, I do plan on letting Naruto learn the Rasengan, but it will be during the month break.)
