I apologize for the wait, I wanted to get this chapter out earlier. Sadly, I got distracted with a game and laughing my ass off at some rather dumb people when I went looking into the game some more through the internet. If anyone is curious, the game is called Beyond Earth. It's a Sid Meier game, so it's of course, awesome. I also already lost it. Spies are broken. Nothing more need be said.

Disclaimer: I don't think added this. I keep forgetting too. I don't get why. But, all the same; No, I do not own Naruto. Or anything else I add into this, really. While I do think up awesome ideas, I'm to lazy to implement them. Besides, why should I do the work when I can manipulate someone else into doing it for me? Money? Meh. I'm poor. And there are woods outside. Guess what lives out there? Food. Food lives out there. Food that can kill me, but food all the same. So, bottom line. I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. Now stop asking me. I have a dungeon, and can use it! Once I find it again..

Warnings: This is what happens when I'm bored. It's called general chaos. It is present within this story. Beware of it. Also, there may be mentions of sex or anything along those lines. If your uncomfortable with that, I have two things to say to you. 1.) Good job on never getting laid! You're just me! Welcome to the club. Here's your ball and chain. Oh, and the door's gone. Enjoy. 2.) I ran out of things to say and basically just forgot what was meant to be here. Ah well.

Side Note: It took way to long for me to get this out, and I apologize. Before I got the chance to post this my depression hit. It happens now and then, due to my rotating sleeping schedule. I always seem to go to sleep an hour after I did last time, no matter how tired I am. I'm working on it, but I've been trying to fix this shit for years and have gotten no headway.

Also, I got sidetracked after my depression ended about a week ago with some projects around the property that mostly involved me getting myself cut or bruised. It seems I'm bad with any blade but a really big sword. Strange huh? Sadly, I'm only up now and reviewing this to be sure it's ready for posting, and because there's something on the wind. This feeling comes now and then, and the screams and nightmares usually follow it. I'll be alright, but probably won't feel up to writing for a bit afterwards. It always triggers my depression, and I'm always at that low point where suicide looks good, so I'll be focusing my energy on preventing myself from doing stupid shit. While I can't die, it's better to be safe than a corpse. And don't try and say I'd be sorry. Corpses can't be sorry. They can't feel anything. They're dead. Shit dun work like that!

Notes: Waffles.

In order of importance, Waffles. Second of all. I forgot. Never mind.

-Previously! Oh hey, waffles!-

"What the fuck?!" Naturally, Naruto turned to see the noise to see the fox looking around in utter confusion. The entire room had changed to look a lot like an Egyptian palace. There was a lot of gold, and white sandstone.

"I take it you like it? I tried to make it look as regal as I could. I do hope it's at least somewhere near your standards." The blondes voice made the fox focus in on him, and his eyes held all the shock in the world.

-Presently! Pity they are only words..-

The Kyuubi grumbled a bit at those words. It had not expected to wake up in such a place. It remembered quite clearly what it was like before, being so cramped and restrained. This was obviously much more spacious. It stood up, ignoring the boy and sniffing around, checking for tricks or traps. After several minutes, it sat back down, finding none. It quite enjoyed the pillow though.

The giant fox studied the blond child for a bit, trying to figure out what the child wanted and what it could possibly have gained by being nice to said giant fox. The only conclusion it could get was that the boy sought the fox's power. This, did not sit well.

"What do you seek from me?" Asking always helped matters, even if all the human would do would be to lie.

"I thought the current accommodations would be ill suited to a being of your level. Seeing as you cannot leave and find another place that would meet your standards, I made this place better to fit your needs. I do hope you like it." Amazing. Not a single lie. The boy was completely truthful. "It also helps that by cleaning this place up and making it better for you, it also helps me. Somehow, I can tell I'm thinking more clearly."

"I see. So by helping me, you help yourself, eh?"

"More or less. It could also be construed to be the other way around, but I doubt that which way it is really matters to either of us. To be honest, I entered my mind solely to see what was there, and what I could find. I had hoped to explore this new power of mine some as well, by doing so.

(Fucking, I don't even. I only got this far?! Shit. WELLP, time to fix that. Coffee time then.)

"New power? I doubt you are speaking of my own. What is this new power of yours, boy?"

"I wouldn't know. All I know is that it seems to have helped me greatly. It seems to have made my mind clearer, made it easier for me to think."

"Easier to think? You had trouble thinking before?"

"Yeah, I did. It felt as if my thoughts were blocked. As if something was pushing them back."

"I see. That may have been due to my youkai. It has certain.. Corruptive, qualities to it. Whatever this new power may be though, do not expect it to last long against my youkai. Nothing can stand the might of the chakra of a bijuu for long."

"I'm sure it will last plenty long enough. Something tells me that this power is not something to be easily tossed aside. If you do not mind, however, I will go and explore my mind further." And with that, he took off. But, beyond discovering that all of his mind was indeed a sewer, he found nothing on this new well of power.

Cleaning up his mind, however, proved surprisingly easy. All he had to do was direct everything into a cleaner perspective. He stuck with the Egyptian theme, however. It seemed like it'd be something he'd appreciate. As he left his mind, he felt clear, and weightless. As if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders and mind.

As he came back to the waking world, he noticed it was daytime. He could tell from the amount of light filtering in through the entrance. He got up and stretched, loosening his muscles for the long run he knew he'd be doing soon. He noted idly that he seemed to be fully rested, even though he hadn't slept at all.{1} Finished stretching, he leapt down the camp below, landing silently enough that he wasn't noticed by his team mates. After a moment, Sasuke noticed him and gave him a nod.

"Time to go. Let's move." No one ever said Sasuke was a man of many words, of course. He didn't really care where Naruto had gone and he figured it was none of his business. The blonde could have secrets if he wanted. Apparently though, Sakura disagreed with this.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN NARUTO?!" She screeched, demanding as loudly and shrilly as she could.

"That is none of your concern Sakura. All we need to worry about now is getting to the tower." Dismissed Sakura, and leaving her fuming, he turned to his two spoils. "You girls ready to move?" He got a nod from both of them. Before Sakura could start screaming again, Sasuke spoke up.

"We need to move fast. The faster we get to the tower, the less fights we get in." Sakura immediately forgot her anger, focusing on him like a lost puppy and practically oozing her affection for him from every pore. Sasuke pretended not to notice however, and the group moved as one toward the tower. They stuck in the branches, wanting to avoid the surface below with it's large cats, bears, wolves, and who knew what else. Most of the flora down there were also dangerous, and it was simply so much easier to move through the treetops. Luckily, they made it to the tower after only a couple hours, and with no interruptions.

The riddle confused them for a bit, until Naruto suggested opening the scrolls, which led Sakura to scoffing at him.

"Why would they want us to open the scrolls when they clearly said not to open them baka? What are you, retarded?"

"I think we should open the scrolls." Sasuke stated calmly. Quite frankly, he couldn't think of anything else to do anyway.

"Of course Sasuke-kun! What a brilliant idea! I'm glad you thought of it first!" Sakura was immediately by his side, praising him. Sasuke ignored her though as he took out the scrolls. Before he unrolled them he noted the looks of utter disgust on the faces of the other two kunoichi. He had only one silent response to this. Maybe not all kunoichi were that bad.

He laid the scrolls out, and prepared for the worst by leaping back, near Naruto. If something came flying out, he wanted to have a shield that could at least regenerate. He knew Naruto's regeneration was top notch, having seen him be taken down by some heavy things in the past and up the next day running around as if nothing had happened. The smoke billowing up from the scrolls wasn't very nice, as it just made everyone but Sakura nervous. This big explosion of smoke a moment later was enough to send Sakura scurrying back.

This, of course, made Naruto laugh. Evilly. Explosions happened, and he liked explosions. Kin and Karin noted this with merely a raised eyebrow each, but Sakura got offended by his laughing and moved to punch him. This led to Karin and Kin moving to block her.

"Move bitch!" Sakura yelled, still high on her rage. She didn't notice that the smoke had cleared, and Iruka Umino was standing behind her.

"SAKURA HARUNO! YOU STOP THAT LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW!" Iruka's use of the infamous big head technique stopped Sakura right in her tracks. She turned slowly, as if deathly afraid of angering this new power.

"S-Sensei! What a surprise! What are you doing here?" She stuttered, giving of a very timid demeanor.

"I'm here to tell you guys that you all passed this exam. You have two days to cut back and relax before the final contestants get here, so enjoy yourselves and behave! I expect to see you all do your very best!" With that said, he ushered the group on, silently wondering when team seven gained two new girls and why said girls were hanging around Naruto as closely as they were. As they left, he allowed himself to dispel.

{1} Meditating or zoning out in any form allows the subconscious to direct the energy of the ghost method, making it so it heals whatever needs to be healed and sorts the information that the brain would normally sort by resting. Basically, zoning out is like sleeping, only quicker, as the ghost method's energy works faster than the brain. Naruto doesn't know this yet, however.

There, got it done. Now I can upload it, and go to bed. Or not. I think I'll stay up. I can almost hear the screams now. I think I'll wait until they're nice and not screaming, then go to sleep. That way, I actually get sleep! Yeah, that sounds like a plan. So, if you all don't mind, ima go bother the other personality I have in my head that I made of my own volition cause I'm lonely as fuck, so you all have fun! Toki! I need waffles! Where the fuck is the save button? Never mind, found it.
