Chūnin Exam, Here We Come

The next day, team 7 made its way to the academy. Naruto was chatting excitedly with Sakura, while Sasuke walked beside them. When they entered, they walked up the stairs and stopped at the second floor. Sakura looked at the sign that read 301. Somewhere upfront stood Izumo and Kotetsu, beating up genin. Lee to be exact. The medic half listened as the 2 chūnin scarred the genin with their speech. She sighed and turned her head towards Sasuke.

"You can see it too right?" asked the pinkette.

"Hn. Genjutsu...This is the second floor." said Sasuke. The crowd started murmuring surprised that someone found this out. Kotetsu laughed and congratulated the 2 genin for seeing the genjutsu before throwing a kick that was stopped by Lee. After this, the green spandex ninja turned towards Sakura.

"My name is Rock Lee, please be my girlfriend! I shall protect you with my life!" said Lee.

"Umm, Hi! I'm Sakura Haruno, and sorry, but I don't feel like dating anyone at the moment." said Sakura.

"It's alright my love, I shall wait for you!" said Lee.

Sakura murmured the quickest no thanks I'm good then dragged Naruto up the stairs before he could pounce on Lee. She looked back and saw Sasuke talk with Neji. "Sasuke, let's go!" The Uchiha turned and walked up the stairs with his teammates. Team 7 reached the third floor when they got stopped by Lee.

"What do you want?" asked Sasuke.

"I want to fight, right here and right now!" answered Lee. After the genin had their weird challenge conversation, with Rock Lee doing most of the talking, the green spandex boy declared his love for Sakura again. Sakura showed the most unimpressed face she could muster before popping all the hearts Lee fired at her.

Sasuke stepped in front of Sakura with an emotionless expression. "Let's get this over with."

Before Sasuke could attack, Naruto charged in and got pounded by Lee. Sakura rand and caught Naruto before the blonde could hit the wall. Her hands glowed green as she healed his bruises. After this Lee proceeded to wash the floor with Sasuke and his pride. Lee unwrapped the bandages on his arms, but before he could attack the Uchiha, a turtle stopped the fight. Sakura caught Sasuke and started healing him. On the other side of the room, the turtle was lecturing Lee about using that jutsu only when it was absolutely necessary. It turned out the turtle was Guy-sensei. Sasuke and Naruto were creeped out by the similarity between the 2, and even more so when they started talking about the springtime of youth. Before the boys can say anything a dark aura settled in the room and all 4 males turned towards the source, Sakura. Sasuke and Naruto gulped.

"What were you 2 thinking, fighting before the exam started, do you know how many ninja from foreign villages are here? Are you 2 trying to show them your skill aND BECOME LIVING TARGETS?!" yelled the medic. In reality, Sakura didn't give 2 shits about the foreign ninja, it was Kabuto she was worried about. She really didn't need him to see more of Sasuke's skills."YOU'RE BOTH COMPLETE IDIOTS!" and then she punched them both in the head. Sakura sighed. "Lets just go..."

She ignored their protests as she dragged her teammates towards Kakashi. The white haired man told them he was proud of them and that he wished them good luck, before poofing away. Later the rest of the rookie 9 showed up and Sakura went straight to Ino. The pink haired girl whispered something the blonde's ear. The girls looked at each other before nodding.

They both pointed a finger and yelled "HINATA!" The Hyūga heiress flinched at the loud noise before she scrambled to the girls.

"H-hello Ino, Sakura. What can I help you with?" asked Hinata.

"Hinata, we know that you like Naruto." said Sakura.

"And we are going to help you 2 get together." said Ino.

The white eyed girl blushed at the statement."Am I really that obvious?" she asked.

Ino and Sakura nodded. "But not obvious enough for that dense rock..." grumbled Ino.

"Don't worry Hinata, were here for you." said Sakura

"Thank you girls." said Hinata.

"Hey you guys might wanna keep it down, don't wanna anger the other participants right?" said a new voice. Kabuto. "See those guys, they're from Ame, very touchy, everyone is. You don't wanna rub them the wrong way now do you?"

"Who are you?" asked Kiba.

"Kabuto Yakushi, nice to meet you! I'm gonna take a wild guess that you're the rookies?" they all nodded."That explains it, you guys really remind me of my first time."

"This isn't the first time you took the exam?" asked Shikamaru.

"Nope...this would be...my seventh time... But maybe I can help you with...my ninja info cards." said Kabuto.

"What the heck is that?" asked Ino.

"They are chakra encoded cards with everything I learned in my past experiences. I can't promise they are perfect, but they do have info on everyone...including you guys." answered Kabuto proudly. Each of the rookie nine asked about a specific individual, when Kabuto looked at Sakura, she sent him a glare.

"How do you even have info on us? We haven't been to any past chunin exams. Did you spy on us?" said Sakura. She really hoped someone would catch on to this, put the cards down and ignore Kabuto for the rest of the exam.

"W-what? Of course not, just things I've learned since you guys came to the third floor, you're teammates did fight just now you know..." said Kabuto. Sakura saw Sasuke and Shikamaru put the cards back, obviously not trusting the white haired 'genin' anymore. Leave it to the trust issues Uchiha and genius Nara to catch onto this.

"Oh, I see, sorry if I sounded rude. I was just curious you see..." said Sakura, faking guilt. After this, Naruto had his outburst about beating everyone. The sound ninja attacked Kabuto, he let himself get hit and threw up. Just then the doors swung open and in stepped Ibiki.

"Alright you baby faced degenerates, listen up. I am Ibiki Morino, proctor for the first part of the chūnin exams, and from this moment forward, your worst enemy." He said glaring the entire room. "First, you sound genin. Who told you, you could fight? Want to fail the exam before it even starts?" The sound ninja apologised before letting Ibiki continue. "Alright, I'll say this only once: there will be no combat between candidates unless your proctor said so and no use of fatal force. Violation of those rules will get you expelled from the exam. Now, if we're ready we'll proceed to the exam."
