A/N: Sorry for the major delay, but let us get on with the show. No excuses here.

Chapter 11: Genin exams part 2 

The Taijutsu exam was expected for Naruto. Although there were times where some of the proctors were trying to mess with his results, with Iruka keeping a close eye, the negative influences hardly made an impact. The Taijutsu matchups were as expected, with Naruto against Sasuke being the final fight. They were almost evenly matched, that is until Sakura did not want to see Sasuke lose, threw a rock into the circle. The rock caught not only Naruto's attention, but also Sasuke's and worst of all Iruka's attention. 

Iruka lectured, "Sakura! You do not sabotage Genin exams! If you do this again, I will fail you." 

Sakura looked around guiltily, while trying to sneak a peek at how Sasuke was reacting.

Sasuke scowled and proceeded to go back to his spar with Naruto. However, in the end, Iruka stopped it, declaring it a tie. 

Both Naruto and Sasuke were fine with this and were also pleased to hear that Hinata was top among the Kunoichis. They took a five a minute break and proceeded back inside for the Ninjutsu exam, which was the Cloning technique. 

Naruto was annoyed and knew someone was messing with him. However, the good thing was that after Itachi graduated with his display of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Lord Third allowed the Shadow Clone Jutsu as an okay technique to use in lieu of the Cloning technique, allowing him to pass the Ninjutsu portion with ease. 

After they all got their headbands, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata went outside to meet with their parents. Hinata was nervous about her written score, and if she became kunoichi of the year or not. However, her anxiety was quickly shoved aside with Hiashi said that it didn't matter since practicals were the most important and written was and always will be second. 

The trio headed to the Nara compound with their parents to celebrate passing the Academy exam. While walking Naruto was trying to get intel on what the teams will be like from his father with Sasuke and Hinata listening close.

Minato stared at Naruto, "Sure I'll tell you."

Naruto was listening closely.

Minato chuckled, "in three days. After the teams have been announced."

Naruto pouted, "Darn it! Dad!"

Hiashi and Fugaku briefly smiled and before anyone noticed, returned to their stoic self. 

As they approached the Nara compound, they were quickly greeted in by Inoichi and Shikaku. With that, they partied into the night, not paying attention to the mysterious force that was looming outside the village.

-somewhere outside Konoha-

It was getting dark when he got remotely close to the village. He sighed and wondered whether or not the current Hokage has found out about a certain Hawk's scheme. The mysterious figure was staying low and avoiding the patrols until he was suddenly met with Weasel and Dolphin closing in. He scowled and slithered back into the darkness, avoiding any contact. 

Dolphin recognized the chakra and was wondering why the traitor returned. With that thought in mind, he and Weasel headed back to the village to report. 

A/N: After re-reading what I wrote before, I realized that I never did write in Jiraiya or Orochimaru or really any other Jounins (with exception of that tag chapter) before the Academy exam. Furthermore, I think allowing Naruto to get trained by both Orochimaru and Jiraiya is pushing it, so it will just be Jiraiya.
