~Chapter 11~

"Ugh... who could be here?"
A tired Naruto trudged out of his bed. He was awoken by a knock at his door that just would not stop. Pulling the door open, he rubs his eyes.
"What are you doing here, (Y/N)?"
(Y/N) smiled at her friend.
"Well I'm here to wake you up, silly. If I know anything about you it's that when you're excited, you can't get to sleep on time. So, I'm here to come get you!"
Naruto blinked. He'd forgotten how well (Y/N) knew him. Kakashi peels out from the wall next to (Y/N).
"I'm here too."

"Oh, hey Kakashi Sensei."
Naruto leaves the door open as he walks to his kitchen table to eat his breakfast which had to be toast today. (Y/N) looked up at her dad as he looked around Naruto's  messy house. Slipping a few dollars from his pocket, (Y/N) slipped past her Sensei grabbing a pen and a little piece of paper. She placed the money next to the paper that read 'Watch the date on your milk!!', and stuck it next to the sink.
"You should learn how to clean, Naruto. That is, unless you manage to catch a wife that won't scowl you for being so messy."
Kakashi says. Covering his mouth he looks at an old sticky note on the wall with his daughter's handwriting on it.
" *cough* (Y/N) *cough*"

(Y/N)'s eye twitched when she heard that. Thank Hokage Naruto was too distracted by his food to hear what he said. Shaking her head, she makes her way to Naruto's bedroom where she hoped her book was. It was a book about different fighting techniques and styles.
"So, are you two exited for the chunin exams today?"
Kakashi asked as he leaned up against a wall.
"You know I am!"
Naruto yelled, finally waking up. (Y/N) opened the nightstand beside Naruto's bed.
'There it is.."
She muttered to herself, grabbing onto her book. Once she picked the book up, there was a notebook underneath with a piece of duct tape on the front and words written over it. It read 'NOTES'. Cocking an eyebrow, (Y/N) pulled the notebook out flipping to the first few pages. Reading all the titles and subtitles, (YN) noticed that all the notes were about her fighting style. All those times that she would train with Naruto and he would take a break, he was writing notes. A small smile tugs at (Y/N)'s lips before placing the notebook back in his nightstand.

Naruto ran into his room right after (Y/N). Kakashi looked around the house once more.
"How do you stay here when it's so messy?"
(Y/N) shrugged.
"I dunno. How could you be such a good ninja when you're so old?"
Kakashi grabbed his daughter in a  choke hold.
"Stop calling me old!"
Naruto sweatdropped while looking at the two. A sigh left his lips as he decided to just wait it out. He got tired after the 10 minute mark passed.
"Alright you two! Break it up, break it up! We gotta get going!"
He stood between the two with his arms outstretched. Kakashi clears his throat while returning to his calm, composed nature.
"Right, right. We should get going. (Y/N), give me your book. I will take it home and see you two before the exams begin."
Taking his daughter's book, Kakashi disappears. (Y/N) clapped her hands together.
"Now, let's go get Sakura and Sauske!"
Naruto nodded.
"Right!"

"Hey Sasuke!"
Sakura chimed as her, Naruto and (Y/N) reached his home. Sasuke only nodded stiffly while locking his door and turning to his team. (Y/N) and Naruto skipped ahead of the group, leading the way. (Y/N) turned to walk backwards.
"You guys excited?"
Sakura smiles.
"I'll have to admit, I'm pretty nervous."
Sasuke looked at a building passing by.
"I'm just ready to get this started."
(Y/N) skipped next to the team with a smile.
"Aren't we all!"

The building came into view and the team began to climb the steps to floor 3. The sound of arguing brought them to a stop at floor 2.
"Just let us through!"
(Y/N) could pick out that voice from anywhere.
"Rock Lee?"
