Chunin Exam II

"Rock Lee, and Gaara of the Sand" Saske said, to Kabuto, who was showing them his information cards, Neji, Lee and I, stayed in the background, avoiding gathering their attention, they didn't notice us thanks to Kabuto's distraction, "and Kenji Yūhi" he added double thinking his decision.

"You even have names" Kabuto replied, he took three blank cards and put them on the floor "we'll start with him" he poured some Chakra on the card, making Rock Lee's image appear "twenty D-rank missions, and fifteen C-rank, his Team has the current record of most missions complete for rookies, he is a Taijutsu expert and doesn't seem to be good in anything else, his partners are Neji Hyuga, and Kenji Yūhi" he said.

"I already knew that" Naruto flexed his knowledge, gained through our talks.

"Gaara of the Sand, he comes from another Village, so there isn't much information" he repeated his actions and Gaara's image was being displayed "never been hurt, one B-rank and eleven C-rank, he is a special ninja" he took the last card, my image was there now "Same record as Rock Lee since he is part of the same Team, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu is average, his Genjutsu is his strong point" He explained.

"Your information is wrong" I said, from the back of the group, by the time they turned around, I was already next to Kabuto, "is lacking a description of my charm, my great intellect and my generosity" I joked, everyone returned their head to their original position, Kabuto jumped back by instinct, and I just chuckle to that.

"Kenji!" Ino jumped to hug me, "it has been a while since the last time I had a chance to see you" I hug her back, enjoying the little moment I had with her, I put her back on her feet, but she refused to let me go, with one arm around my shoulder, she was wearing her usual clothes and the jacket I gifted her tied around her waist.

"I see you are giving a good use to my jacket" I said, pulling the neck of my identical jacket, the secret is that my mom is a tailor, and she makes them for me, just for the price of the materials, I managed to make her blush with that, and the Rookie nine or the Konoha eleven since Neji and Lee were here as well didn't react to my comment.

"Is not fair, why do you get the girl and I get the rejection?" Lee grumbled, Sakura shivered again, remembering their last interaction.

"Because I'm charming, nice and good-looking" I winked at him, and Ino was nodding at every single thing I said in confirmation, Shikamaru and Choji were surprised that for once Ino wasn't just telling her fantasies about a boy, and that everything she told them in the last six months was real, Lee kept grumbling, and Sakura was surprised to see Ino not only showing affection to someone who isn't Saske, but Rock Lee's teammate.

"Wait a second" Shikamaru said, "you are the guy that shout the blonde girl thing" leaving everyone shocked.

"That was Neji pulling a prank on me" Hinata was surprised by my statement "I did like her back then, so the joke was for him, I got a date with her thanks to him" both Ino and I were blushing a bit, sharing our little secret.

"WHAAAT?" the Rookie nine reacted, the other hundred and forty-two individuals, now stared at our group with annoyance, in their minds, we were a bunch of arrogant rookies that need a lesson, and they were here to provided it.

All the attention was consuming the group, they were uneasy, some of them took a step back and others just froze in place looking down, Sakura approached Naruto worried about him, unable to see the face he was doing.

"HEEEEY! MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI! I WON'T LOSE TO ANY OF YOU! GOT IT?!" he shouted to every single one of them, his finger pointing and a big smile on his face, the Rookie nine relaxed with his action and their demeanor retuned to normal, Ino and Sakura started arguing due to Naruto's actions.

Zaku of the ninjas from the Sound took the chance to throw some kunais at Kabuto, who dodged to the side, followed by Dosu punching the air, Kabuto's glasses broke, and he fell to the ground even when he wasn't hit.

"So he isn't special, even after taking the Exam four years in a row" Dosu mocked him "write this on your cards, the ninjas from the Sound, doubtless Chunin" he continued.

"Lee, what about that technique?" Neji asked.

"I have no problem with his speed, there has to be some kind of trick to it" he answered.

"Is the thing in his arm, I bet that as his Village suggest has something to do with Sound" I whispered to them, making sure no one else can hear our conversation, suddenly a smoke explosion occurred at the front of the classroom.

"SILENCE! DEGENERATES!" someone shouted inside the cloud of smoke, a man with two scars on his face and fully dressed in gray, with a black trench coat, revealed himself surrounded by other ninjas dressed in similar ways"I'm sorry to kept you waiting" the man said, "My name is Ibiki Morino proctor for the first test of the Chunin Exam" he declared his name and title, putting everyone in edge, from this moment the Chunin Exam had official begun.

"You from the Sound Village!" he pointed to Dosu, "no doing as you please before the Exam! You want to be failed before we begin?" Ibiki warned him.

"I apologize, it's our first time taking the Exam" Dosu turned to face Ibiki "we lost control, against our better judgement" he added, Ibiki looked around the room, and smiled at his response.

"This is a good moment, there won't be fights without the proctor's permission, and even then any actions that can lead to death are strictly forbidden, anyone who goes against my orders will be immediately disqualified, you understand?" Ibiki threatening everyone in the room.
