Getting there before them, she told everyone the rules.

"Today your test is to get to the centre of this forest. There is a tower there. To enter it you need two scrolls, and you are only getting one. There are 7 heaven and seven earth scrolls and each team is getting one each. That means only half of you can pass. You have six days to reach the tower. If you look inside the scroll before you get to the tower, then you fail."

She looked over the teams and saw a mix bunch. There were some how all three rookie teams were there plus Guy's and some older team from the leaf that she didn't recognise. There was a sound team, a sand team, two rock, two water, a steel team and a grass team. She had a funny feeling about the grass team, but she didn't know why. The last team was three sponsor ninjas. Sponsor ninjas were ninjas that did not below to a village or a county, they were independent. Often called merc nin, they worked for who ever had enough money. They were mainly used when countries needed someone to hit another county with nothing leading the attack back to them. They often joined in on the chunin exam so they could get more fame and more jobs.

One by one each team entered a tent to pick up their scrolls. The minute they picked their scroll up, they were taken to a gate around the forest.

Team 7 was planning on how to hid their earth scroll.

"Ok what if we sealed it into something?" Sakura ask

"We could but what?" Naruto responded.

"How about the same place you keep your sword hidden, if you don't use it then they wont know you have one." Sasuke said. Naruto smiled at this, and drew a seal on his sword to store the scroll. He then placed it back and using his fathers seals, it disappeared. The only people that knew he had sword outside the team, was Hinata and the Hokage.

"Yes but then we need a decoy just in case someone over power us" Sakura said. However before anyone could respond the gates opened and they ran in. They ran for a mile before hiding, just in case someone tried to rush their gate. They hid in a hole under a tree, Sakura placed a gen-jutsu over the entrance that made it look like the tree had no hole.

"Ok, we need to find someone with a heaven scroll, how do we do it.?" Sasuke said. None of them were trackers and this meant that they had a big disadvantage.

"What if we tried to find team 8, they are a specialized tracker team?" Naruto suggested.

"The problem is still finding them" Sakura responded.

"Worse comes to worse, we could make a lot of noise to draw a team in then simply beat them." Sasuke said. Sakura gave him a look saying don't be stupid .

"What if I swarmed the forest with shadow clones then if I find anyone I can find out what they have." Naruto suggested.

"By the time your clone finds us then wouldn't they have moved?" Sakura ask. Naruto then explained the secret of the shadow clone, that what one clone learnt, when he dispelled every clone plus him, knew what that clone learnt . He found this out ages ago, when he decided to preform a prank on a teacher. Naruto had talked to him, been in plain view of people, and he had a clone set up the trap. He some how knew what the clone did. He read up on the clone, as his father had a scroll explaining how to create one, and it told him that he would learn what they learnt. No one did find out that Naruto had add some pink dye to the guys showers.

Naruto created 100 shadow clones, and they scattered in different directions.

Without waiting they decided to find the tower, whilst waited for the clones to find someone..

Hidden in the forest Kabuto was waiting for Orochimaru.

The second he spotted him, he knelt and greeted Orochimaru.

"My lord, is was unable to do my mission in the first exam. Two of the girls wouldn't shut up and I couldn't get a word in. Your plan to get me put doubt into team seven failed."

"That's alright Kabuto. I wish to see the strength of the Konohagakure's new ninjas. Your team will make sure they make it the next stage. Attack the other teams and find a way to give them a clone. Since I want half to pass, then they will need to do the preliminaries. I need you to eliminate seven teams. I need a heaven scroll, give me yours. You are to leave team seven alone, so tell my sound team to leave them alone.. I expected more teams to pass the first exam, so if anyone fails or leaf team fail, I will kill the person responsible. You have your orders."

With that he waved Kabuto away. Then summoned a snake to find team seven.

That night Naruto's clones hadn't found anyone yet, so team seven was hiding. They were sleeping in a tree with one of Sakura gen-jutsu hiding them. It was Sasuke's turn to watch over and make sure no one attack them. Suddenly a figure tapped Sasuke on the shoulder.

Sasuke jumped forward drew a kunai and entered a defensive stance.

"Sasuke, nice to meet you" he said. " im not going to attack you. My name is Orochimaru."

Sasuke froze, he knew of Orochimaru of course, and knew he was no match for him.

"If your not going to attack me what do you want?" he asked. Keeping his stance defensive.

"No need to enter that stance Sasuke, and there is no reason to have an explosive tag on it. I want to help you kill your brother. Your brother has attack me and annoyed me so much I want him dead. however I know that there is no one more powerful than an Uchiha, and if I was lucky enough to kill him, then you would hunt me down right." He lied through his teeth, whilst he wanted to test the strength of Sasuke, he knew that he couldn't risk hurting him or his team. He also hope that Sasuke would fall into his trap. He knew Sasuke as vain and hoped would take the bait.

"I can give you more power that you ever hoped for. You can be more powerful than anyone." Sasuke face lit up at the prospect of power.

"What do I have to do to achieve this power?" he asked, lowing his stance.

"Simple, stay still." Orochimaru said and then lunged at him, sinking his teeth into Sasuke neck. The seal was completed quickly, and Sasuke felt week.

"It will take time for your body to get use to your new power." Orochimaru explained. "If you use this power in-front of your teachers then they will try to contain your power, tell you that it is corrupting you. That is a lie, they are jealous and want it themselves. Do not tell them or show them this power, unless you have to. The last person I gave this gift to, the hokage has sealed it, so she can not use it."

The look on Sasuke face said everything to Orochimaru, he knew that now he controlled him. Soon he could come looking for him for more power. Chucking a heaven scroll to match their earth scroll he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Sasuke, grabbed it and woke the other two up.

"Sasuke, its still dark why are waking me up." Naruto grumbled.

"I just caught a single ninja from grass. He tried to sneak by, but I caught him. He didn't want to risk a fight, so he gave me a heaven scroll, so he could pass by. I thought as we have a set we should drive towards the tower." Sasuke lied.

Naruto and Sakura if they were not tired they would have celebrated.

"I knew there was a reason you were on this team." Naruto joked. Then stood still. Sakura asked what was wrong. Naruto said nothing. He had felt a strange seal nearby. It felt like that it came from Sasuke. Because of his seal training to learn the Hiraishin jutsu, he could sense the chakra seals. Naruto decide that he was just tired and stressed due to exam and was feeling something that wasn't there.

They spent three days trying to get the tower, Naruto clones warned them from danger, and they simply slipped round any traps.

When they got to tower the spent two hours trying to figure out what to do. They had entered a room, which had no door. They decided that as opened up both scrolls. Naruto cried out that they were summoning scrolls and they needed to put one on top of the other. An ANBU with a spider mask appeared from a cloud of smoke.

"Hi guys, took your sweet time to get here." he said then took them to their room. A simple room with three beds, they had to wait until the final day before leaving.

They spent the last two days waiting and sparing without chakra. The only teams there was the sand team, and the steel team. Both spent their time in separate areas. The sand team gave Naruto the shivers for some reason. He had a gut feeling to stay away from them.

The next teams to enter was team Guy, then sound team, then team 10, then team 8. Since there was only seven pairs, some jonin were sent to find the other teams to tell them that the exam was over..

After the last team entered, they assemble in front of the Hokage

"Congratulation on passing the exam. Now we have a lot of very promising genin hoping to become a chunin. Now we have 21 people here, and that is too many for the final exam. We have a lot of very important lords coming and we do not want to waste their time with too many battles. So we will be having a preliminary before the third exam. Each of you will fight and the winner will more to the final exam. Now the chunin exam was created to try to replace war between the villages. When you fight in the final exam you will be showing the world the strength of your county. Strong ninjas will attract more jobs to their village, thus increasing their money. When you fight, you are fighting for your county. Now Hayate Gekko will be the proctor for this preliminary."

He sat down on his chair.

A cloud of smoke appeared and reviled a sickly looking man with a sword on his back.

"Hello," he paused to cough,"the rules for this exam are simply. There is only one rule. You can not in-danger the spectators. If you do, you will fail. Killing is allow, however we would prefer it if you didn't. I can and will step in at any time to end the fight. When you name is called you will enter the arena. You will start on my command."

The screen announched the first fight

Choji Akimichi vs Hachiro Mori:

Choji was tempted to give up. He knew that he was no match for anyone here, his team got here on sheer dumb luck. They found a scroll whilst walking in the forest. He was about to give up, when his sensei, Asuma Sarutbo told him,

"If you fight then I will buy you lunch"

Choji jumped into the arena, and the female of the steel team jumped into the ring. The kunoichi was wearing black robes, with a mask. She had a sword on her back and stood with her hand on her sword handle.

"START" Hayate said.

Choji used his Multi-size technique then the human bullet tank.

Hachiro smiled and jumped. The technique was powerful but he had no control over it. Choji flew towards the Hokage who had to jump out of the way.

"Choji, you threatened the spectators, you lose."

Asuma face palmed and just said

"That was embarrassing."

Choji upon reaching the spectators stand was yelled at by Ino.

"What the hell was that, you looked like an complete loser."

Choji didn't care, he knew that he had gotten further than he should have gotten.

The screen announced the second fight

Sakura Haruno vs Asuka Mori

Asuka entered the ring. He was wearing black armour with a short sword on his back. His face was covered except for his eyes.

He made a few hand symbols and a gen-jutsu battle started. Neither of them moved. Sakura tried to counter his illusion. It took three minutes before Sakura, fell to floor crying and declaring she lost.

They both went up to their respected areas. She refused to tell anyone what she saw, but people knew it had disturbed her.

Hinata Hyuga vs Neji Hyuga

Neji smiled whilst Hinata had a face of fear.

The battle was a straight down Juken fight. Hinata went on the defensive, whilst Neji attacked striking everywhere. It was quick and tough to watch, as they didn't have to hit each other to cause damage. The battle changed after five minutes when Hinata entered a difference stance, and tried to kick Neji in the nuts. He block it with his right hand, but Hinata leapt off the ground and with her spare foot kicked him in the face, she fell to the ground whilst Neji stumbled back with a bloody nose. At this Hinata raised her hand and declared that she lost. She couldn't move her left arm, and there was bruises all over her. Her sensei, team and Naruto congratulated her, as they knew that this was the first time she had gained a good hit on Neji and had caused him some injuries.

Shikamaru Nara vs Kin Tsuchi

This happens like in the manga.

Tenten vs Dosu Kinuta

Dosu quickly used his Melody arm, which caused Tenten to lose balance. This caused her accuracy to disappear and as she had lost her advantage, she quickly surrendered.

Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzka

(Before this fight start, I will im not going to bash Kiba, but he is going to do something stupid, every clan has one flaw, Hyugas are traditional to a flaw, Uchihas are arrogant, and Inuzka rarely think before leaping but every clan has good points as well. So no hate mail from Kiba fans please)

Kiba was happy, he knew he could beat Naruto easily.

The fight started with Kiba lunging at Naruto hoping to beat him in taijutsu only. Naruto was trying not to use anything that Kiba hadn't seen yet in the hope he would have an advantage in the next round. So he went on the defence. Naruto jumped back, throwing paper on the floor, each bit of paper had writing on it. One of the papers landed on another and it exploded. Naruto smiled. Kiba threw some kunai but he didn't have enough to destroy all the tags. He used the fang over fang. The swirling caused the paper to fly up in the whirlwind and exploded around Kiba as he was still flying at Naruto. Naruto dodged but was too slow and Kiba grabbing his locket.

"Is that all you got dead-last" he said before kicking him, keeping the locket, whilst Naruto flew under the stand that the leaf ninjas were on. The necklace string broke, and Kiba continued trying to taunt him.

"Lets see what's inside this, bet its a picture of Sakura" upon opening it he was shocked to see who was inside it.

"KIBA YOU ARSEHOLE" Naruto screamed, then threw 50 kunai at him. He then summoned some clones at the kunai to hold Kiba and Akamura. During this the killing attend was high. Everyone that knew his secret was scared he could let the demon lose. Gaara smiled and watched. This made the sand team nervous as Gaara never looked like that before

Then a swirling noise happened, and a bright light as Naruto charged up a rasengan. The people there old enough to remember the 4th or fought against him that didn't know Naruto could do this, look on in shock as 10 Naruto charged and struck Kiba with a rasengan.

There was mutters on how he could do that. Hayate ended the fight. Kiba was on the floor holding his chest. Naruto in silent grab the string and the locket, and went up to the balcony and sat down. He then tried to fix the string, but it was completely broken. In silent, with tears he still tried, until Hinata and Sakura went each side and place a friendly arm around him. Sakura then took her necklaces off, and offered Naruto the string. He smiled, thanked her then fix his locket.

Whilst this was going on the next match had started and finished.

Ino Yamanaka vs Sasuke Uchiha

Ino surrendered instantly as she knew that she was no match for Sasuke.

Gaara vs Rock Lee

Same as in manga

Everyone was in shock. Gaara had crippled Rock lee.

Kankuro vs Shino Aburame

Shino let lose the swarm, which attached themselves to Kankuro. Suddenly the thing on his back jump out, and Kankuro exploded. Shino threw some kunai at the thing that was moving. It turns out Kankura had entered the ring, and swapped place with his puppet. The thing that exploded was a puppet.

Kankuro took a kunai to the arm, but he charged at Shino, to get close.

Both fighters used something else to fight, Shino his bugs and Kankuro his puppets, but both had lossed their main fighting style.

Kankuro tackled Shino and went though him.

"What the hell" Someone cried.

"You really think I sent all my Kikaichu at once," Shino said, appearing from the shadow. As the bug clone turned into a swarm of flying Kikaichu.

Kankuro knew it was over and gave up.

The three people left all hoped that they would get the veto to the next round.

Zaku Abumi vs Nai'os Roke appared on the screen.

Temari had a smile of happiness as she didn't have to fight.

Nai'os was wearing light armour, and had a katana on his back.

Both combatants jumped into the arena. Nai'os drew his sword and went on the offensive, Zaku however fired burst of sound at Nai'os causing him to fly back. Nai'os got to his feet charged again trying to dodge the attack. When he knew he couldn't he made a few hand symbols and struck the floor. A maze made of walls of earth trice the high of Kakashi appeared in the battle.

"That's cool isn't it Naruto" Sakura said, turned to look at him when he didn't reply. "Where did Naruto go?" She ask. There was no trace of him. Hinata turned around and had a quick face of anger.

"I told him not to use that" she though. The only way he could have gotten out was to use the flying thunder god, though Naruto wasn't skilled enough yet to use it like that.

The wall of earth meant that the sound waves that Zaku emitted were not as useful. Nai'os went stealthy. He appeared out of nowhere and struck Zaku. A light cut on his arm, but it still meant he had trouble moving that arm. Zaku then started to hit the wall hoping to destroy it. However Nai'os took advantage of the sudden light burst and smoke, lunged in and chopped Zaku left arm off. The proctor quickly ended the fight, in Nai'os favour before he could get the killing blow in.

The victors went to the front, and was told that they had a month to train, and then they would fight in a knock out tournament.

The fight list was as follows:

Fight A Sasuke Vs Gaara.

Fight B Naruto Vs Neji

Fight C Hachiro Vs Asuka

Fight D Nai'os Vs Shino

Fight E Dosu Vs Temari

Fight F Shikamaru

Winner from A would fight B, Winner from C would fight winner from D, the winner of E would fight F.

The winner of AB would fight the winner of CD, and E would get a veto. Then the three left would fight each other if they had time, and who ever won both the most would win.

The second Naruto could, he had teleported out of the room. Just to a special area outside, then ran towards the hospital. Due to his mood, he hadn't noticed that he had just just the flying thunder god to leave the arena.

He entered Kiba's room, and sat down next to him in silent, not knowing what to say.

Kiba was fully awake, all he had was a broken arm and few broken ribs. He saw Naruto entered and tried to think on how to apologise.

"I'm sorry," both of them said at the same time. Then paused.

"Kiba, I shouldn't have reacted like that, can you please forgive me. I was so angry, I need let him out, its just that is all I have of my parents but I was wrong to let it out on you." Naruto apologise.

"You have done nothing wrong, I was trying to make you angry to make you lose your form, and I said and did the wrong thing. I should be the one apologising. Please forgive me."

"How about we were both wrong, we both apologised and we both forget it." Naruto said. Kiba agreed and shook Naurto's hand. At this point they were friends again, both forgetting the troubles they had caused each other.

"What the hell did you hit me with by the way?" Kiba asked.

"Its a technique called the rasengan. It was one of the moves the fourth used. I was able to replicate it." Naruto said smiling.

Kiba was impressed.

"I think I will be betting on you in the next round, who are fighting?"

"Umm" naruto said, scratching his head. "I left before they told me, I need to get this off my chest."

Kiba called him an idiot and told him to get back. As Naruto was leaving, Team 8 entered.

Kurenai was puzzled, until she saw the smile on each of them. She figured out why Naruto was here.

"Naruto you missed the end of the fights, Shino won, that ninja from steel Nai'os won, and that kunoichi from sand got the veto. I think your fighting Neji, next. You need to go talk to Lord Hokage. He needs to talk to you." Kunenai told him.

As Naruto headed to the kage tower Naruto felt like after today, nothing would be the same again.

Naruto entered the office of the third.

"Hi old man, how are you?" Naurto said.

"Naruto, you missed the end of the fights.

I need to know something. This is not an order, I am asking you. You need to understand that." Hiruzen said, face showing he was serious. Naruto nodded.

"Do you know who your parents are?"

I wish to thank people for their comments. I have gone over my work and had tried my best to improve my spelling and my grammar. I have also tried my best to go into more detail. However my spelling and grammar is not that good. I have also tried my best to fix a few plot-holes in my previous chapters. The biggest one is why Hiruzen didn't demand Naruto to tell him what he knew. I hope everyone enjoy this chapter and please review.

Btw i am looking for a beta reader if possible
