Chapter 15

When they entered through door number 301, they saw many ninjas inside.

"It's too crowded," Sakura said.

Ino said as she approached them, "Sasuke-kun!"

"Ino-pig! Don't come near Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said angrily.

"Oh? Are you also participating in this exam?" Shikamaru, who was behind Ino, said.

"Wow! Everybody is here." Kiba said while carrying his dog on his head.

On the other hand, Hinata was staring at the ground with a flushed face as she remembered the warm moments she had with Naruto.

Time passed, and after a lot of events had happened in the room, a voice through the cloud of smoke said, "All of you! That's enough!"

After the smoke dissipated, many appeared. In front of them was the man with a scar on his face.

"I'm sorry for making you wait so long. I will be responsible for the first phase of the Chuunin exam. My name is Ibiki Morino. All of you will now take the first stage, the written exam. You will all be given sequence numbers. So everyone will be seated according to their row number. Then let the exam begin!" Ibiki said.

After everyone took their seats, exam papers were distributed and the exam started.

"Hmm… that was easy." Naruto said after glancing at the paper in front of him.

Naruto answered all the questions on the exam paper in 10 minutes, then he started to sleep on the table.

After the exam period has ended, the time has been given for the last question. Then, after a few people were eliminated, the exam was over.

As soon as the exam was over, something entered the window.

"I am in charge of the second stage. My name is Anko Mitarashi!" Anko said while there was a large banner with her name on the back.

"Ibiki, have you had that many? It seems that the first stage this year was very easy. Anyway, at least half of them will be eliminated in the second stage." Anko said with a grin.

"Now everyone follow me to the next exam place!" She said before jumping out the window.

After a while, everyone reached the place called the Forest of Death. Anko explained the second stage to those who will take the exam, then a stack of papers appeared in her hand.

"You have to sign these to take the exam. A lot of people are going to die here and of course, I don't want to take responsibility for them so you have to sign the paper." Anko said.

After explaining what will happen in the exam, everyone signed the papers and took their scrolls. They waited in front of the door, where they would start later, for the start time to come.

When the doors opened, all the genins started running at the same time.

Team 7 had been running for a while, they decided to sit down to rest. At that time, Naruto made several shadow clones and sent them in search of parchment.

After running for a while, the clone Naruto saw a red-haired girl who was about to be attacked by a huge bear.

He then quickly approached the girl after hitting the bear's head and killing it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Naruto said while helping the girl.

"Thank you for your help." She said while trying to put on her glasses.

"It's okay, if you don't mind me asking, can you tell me your name?" Naruto asked while looking at the girl he felt familiar with.

"N- No problem. My name is Karin." Karin said as she blushed.

"Hmm… Can you please tell me your last name too?

"Uzumaki?" Karin said while confused.

"The first time I saw you, I felt you were an Uzumaki. I asked this because I am an Uzumaki too." Naruto said and he continued to speak while looking at her bite marks. "Karin, can you tell me how the bite marks on your arms came about?"

Karin began to describe what kind of life she lived in her village.

"I understand. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Karin, do you want to live with me in Konoha? I assure you you will definitely be well taken care of. After all, relatives should protect each other." Naruto said while smiling.

Karin nodded, as tears dropped down her cheeks.

Real Naruto*

A long-haired man appeared in front of Team 7.

As the man appeared before them, he attacked Team 7 with a massive amount of killing intent. While Sasuke and Sakura were unable to move due to killing intent, kunai were coming towards them.

Naruto immediately got ahead of them, fending off the kunai and saying, "Come to yourselves! Sasuke! Take Sakura and walk away. I'll be behind you."

After grinding his teeth, Sasuke grabbed Sakura and started to run away. Because they realized that they couldn't beat the person in front of them.

A huge snake suddenly appeared from the forest and tried to swallow Naruto. Naruto must have noticed it's because he suddenly jumped into the air to dodge. But another snake quickly grabbed Naruto, who was in the air, and dragged him deep into the forest.

The man who stayed there started to follow Sasuke with a grin.

Naruto, who was in the snake's mouth, shattered the snake using Gale Palm Jutsu. But soon after, several more snakes came out of the forest, stalling Naruto.

After losing time with several snakes attacking him, he started running towards where Sasuke was going.

When Naruto arrived, Sasuke and other man had already started a fight. At this moment, Sasuke was barely standing with his body cut in many parts. Also, he had a seal with three commas around his neck.

Naruto quickly appeared next to Sasuke using Body Flicker Jutsu.

"Orochimaru? Isn't that you? You will pay for what you did!" Naruto said, gritting his teeth in anger.

While Naruto was talking, he was signaling Sakura from behind with his hands to take Sasuke and run away.

"I'm still pretty well known. You must be a Kyuubi brat too. But unfortunately, you are late. See you next time." Orochimaru said.

"I will not let you go! You will pay for what you did!" Naruto said while thinking of Anko in his mind.

Orochimaru was about to turn around and run away, but suddenly a massive amount of chakra started to emanate from somewhere. The source of this chakra was Naruto, who had 3 tails, wolf ears and eyes.
