Thankfully, no other incidents occurred. Much too quickly, the Exams were upon them. Everyone was as ready as they'd ever be. The first part of the exams was today, and the whole village was tense. Naruto I rolled over, groaning in annoyance at being woken up by the sun's bright light. Sighing, I got up and put on an outfit Kaka-nii had recently bought me.

And of course the typical shinobi sandals, but black. I tied my forehead protected around my neck and left for the meet up area. ○●○●○●○ Sasuke, Hinata, and I all walked into the place and up the stairs, passing the obvious gen-jutsu. We were approached by Rock Lee of team 9. He challenged Sasuke to a duel. Thankfully, he refused. "No, Lee. We need our energy. If we don't need to fight, we shouldn't waste Chakra." Lee walked away looking defeated. Though, he perked up at the sight of Sakura. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior. Soon enough, those that saw through the gen-jutsu downstairs were led into a room for the written exam. The instructions we were given was to try our best and to not cheat. If we were caught cheating, we'd be kicked out and have to wait till next year to try again. Once we were handed the tests, it was obvious the answer was to cheat without getting caught. However, this was no issue to me. I could answer this test in my sleep. I quickly filled it out with well thought out responses and turned it over, surprising those around me. I zoned out the rest of the given time. Soon enough, the papers were collected and we were given a final question: "Now, for the 10th question. However! You can choose whether to take it or not. If you don't wish to, you may leave and try again next year. If you choose to answer and get it incorrect, you may never take the Chunin Exams again! The classroom was dead silent. A few teams left, most stayed though. "You all pass!" Excited cheers rang out across the small room. A purple haired woman crashed in through a small window towards the front. "Getting soft on me, huh?" She exclaimed, smacking the instructor on the back. "We've just got a good batch this year," he smirked proudly. " hmm, whatever," she turned her attention towards us. "Follow me, maggots!" She yelled before running through the door, into the hallway. We all followed after her. I smirked, knowing where we were heading. The forest of death. ○●○●○●○ We were given an earth scroll before being ushered in through the gate. Soon, we came across a group of the sound ninja. I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. I raised my hand in signal for Sasuke and Hinata to stop and be silent. I silently observed them. Although they were out of earshot for a normal person, being the jinchuriki of the nine tails had it's perks. "So, what's the plan again?" "Fool! We need to get an earth scroll to move on to the final round!" "He meant after that." "Oh. We wait for the signal of course!" Something was up with them, and I was gonna find out what. I turned to my teammates, signaling for them to follow me. I quickly moved away from the sound ninja. We soon acquired a heaven scroll from a practically useless team. Deciding to help out the sound ninja, I grabbed an earth scroll for them. I dropped it off out their camp silently. I was very curious as to what they were up to. ○●○●○●○ Quicker than expected, all teams with both scrolls were gathered together at the set meeting place. We were given a speech about something, I tuned it out. We were told to meet at the practice arena in a week. ○●○●○● Soon enough, everyone was gathered at the arena, regardless of whether they passed or not. The preliminaries passed quickly. The only interesting match was between Neji and Hinata. Although it was close, Neji won. Thankfully Hinata was hardly injured. We were all told to meet at the battle arena in two months time. We had two months to prepare for the toughest part of the exams. I had two months to prepare for an attack on the village hidden in the leaves.
