"Alright listen up gakis! Everyone that passed will be meeting me at Training Ground 44 in half an hour to begin the second stage. Anyone who fails to show up or is late will be disqualified! Do I make myself clear?" She received nods from all of those in the room and vanished with a Leaf Shunshin.

Training Ground 44

Naruto and the rest of Team 11 were standing in front of The Forest of Death's gate number twenty. They were recalling every little detail about what the proctor had proctor had said about the test as they waited for her to make the announcement that the test was about to begin on the intercom.

Each genin team would receive either a heaven or an earth scroll. Their team had been given a heaven scroll after they had signed away their lives. That was one thing Naruto was excited about, they were allowed to kill. When you have complete control over fire it's pretty hard to not to burn people to a crisp. They weren't supposed to open any of the scrolls until they got to the tower in the middle of the forest either. This was understandable, shinobi were sent to retrieve and deliver important documents all the time. On these scrolls would probably be some kind of important information that would help them at the end of the test.

To put it simply, they had five days to get a earth scroll and make it to the tower. They were to deal with any teams that got in there way and protect the scrolls at all costs. It sounded simple enough, and that is why it worried them.

"Alright! Let the second stage of the chunin exams begin!" Anko's voice yelled over the intercom.

Like that the all of the gates were opened and each genin team rushed in.

Team 11 was moving at a slower pace, already knowing that several teams would be looking for them. They had decided that Hana would hold onto the scroll because if they somehow managed to get separated, then Hana would be able to track everyone down with the use of her three ninken. They had been moving along a river for over an hour when Naruto was able to sense someone approaching.

"Get ready. Three hostiles are approaching us and quickly. Be prepared for a fight." Naruto stated as he took command of his team.

Not a moment later did three older genin wearing the exact same purple outfit with a white sash tied around their waist appear before them. Two of them looked like they could be twins...as far as Team 11 could tell. They both wore their hitai-ates in a bandanna-like fashion with a cloth covering the lower part of their face. The only difference between the two was that one wore a dark pair of sunglasses while the other wore a pair of normal round glasses. However, the third was far easier to recognize. He looked about nineteen years old and had quite noticeable silver hair.

"Kabuto...what exactly might you be looking for us specifically for?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

"What makes you think that we were looking for your team in particular Naruto-kun?" Kabuto responded a bit surprised that Naruto may have seen through his act already. He had played the part perfectly in the first stage after all.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the older genin, "I saw the way you were looking at us when that Kusa-nin returned the proctor's kunai."

"Ah you are quite good. You seemed like one of the strongest Konoha teams so I though that you might like to partner up to try and take her team out. She does seem quite formidable after all, I'd hate to have to fight her later on in the exam." Kabuto was sure that Naruto would take the bait and then he would finish the younger boy off. The silver haired man saw how intelligent Naruto was, and it wouldn't be beneficial if he were to figure out about their plan or the invasion.

Are you sure about that I mean...he is your master after all." Naruto narrowly dodged a slash from Kabuto's kunai after he finished stopped talking.

Naruto jumped back a few feet so that he was right next to his teammates. Both Satsuki and Hana got into their respective stances as Naruto landed beside them. Kabuto's team was also preparing for combat. This wouldn't end well, for one side or the other.

"Naruto-nii! What's going on? What are you talking about?" Satsuki asked slightly worried, but mostly confused as to what was going on.

Naruto never took his eye off of the silver haired genin in front of him. It seemed that his assumptions were right, he just took a shot in the dark but it seemed to have told him everything he wanted. "Satsuki. Hana. These three aren't really Konoha genin...they're working as spies for Orochimaru."
