Chapter 92 - 2-

The audience is greatly surprised to see what just happened on the screen.

"Ehh!?" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"B…but what the hell just happened there!?" Yanagi exclaimed in surprise.

"That boy just moved his fingers, and it made him trip?! But how is that possible?!" Nejire exclaimed in surprise.

"What kind of power will that boy have?" Midoriya wondered interestedly.

Kankuro: You are also a Leaf Genin, your village seems to be full of insects.

Sakura: They are strangers, I don't know where, but what are they doing here?

Naruto, Udon and Moegi: [Worried] Konohamaru.

"Oh oh!" Several people exclaimed, worried about what they were seeing.

"This is going to get ugly." Uraraka said worriedly.

"The music does highlight the tension of the moment." Jiro said.

Konohamaru: Hey, enough, it hurts.

Naruto: Enough, put him down or I'll crush you. Is that clear, you idiot?

Sakura: You're the idiot, it won't help if you threaten them, Naruto.

"That wretch!" Mirio exclaimed, furious with Kankuro for what he is doing to Konohamaru.

"Although it's true that threatening them won't help, she should at least do something." Komori said.

"As if that brat could do anything." Shigaraki said annoyed, some girls look at him badly, but they refrain from answering him since they know it is useless.

"Wow, Shigi really doesn't like that girl." Toga said.

"It's true! No, it is not!" Twice exclaimed.

Kankuro: You're very loud, everyone is. I don't like scrawny people or weaklings, so when someone inferior starts chattering, I just cut them in two and that's it. [Naruto and Sakura were scared by what he said, while Moegi and Udon started crying.]

The audience is scared when they hear Kankuro's words.

"That boy is very scary!" Eri exclaimed scared, holding on to Mirio.

"Seriously, what's wrong with the people of this world!" Iida exclaimed.

"He is seriously capable of killing a child?!" All Might said annoyed with this.

"Let's hope not, ribbit." Asui said worried about Konohamaru.

Temari: You know? I'm not going to get involved in this, okay?

Sakura: What's wrong with this boy, this is getting worse.

Kankuro: First I'll take care of this dwarf, then the other one will follow. [Kankuro raised his hand into a fist, bringing it closer to Konohamaru, Naruto ran towards him, but a stone had hit his hand, causing him to let go of Konohamaru and then see Sasuke sitting on a tree.]

Sasuke: Apparently they are too weak to defeat us.

The audience is extremely happy to see this turn of events.

"YEAH! "SASUKE HAS RETURNED BABY!" Hatsume exclaims excitedly, jumping out of her seat, causing the rest of the audience to cover their ears. "Ups, I'm sorry."

"Hatsume, I understand that you get excited, but please try not to make such a fuss." Power Loader said.

"Yes sensei." Hatsume said.

"It's okay girl." Kushina said. "Sometimes it happens to me too, that I just get too excited."

"But that's good!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly. "Sasuke can now save the day!"

"Hopefully he can do it." Kendo said worriedly. "I don't doubt Sasuke's strength, but we don't know how strong and what kind of abilities that other boy has."

"Yes, that can be a serious problem." Yaoyorozu said worriedly, as she tries to come up with a strategy to save Konohamaru, but not having any information about Kankuro is certainly difficult.

"No matter how difficult it is, in the end the heroes will end up saving the day!" Kaminari exclaimed to the annoyance of the villains.

Sakura: [Blushing] Sasuke!

[Kankuro and Naruto look upset]

Temari: [Blushing] Wow, what a town heartthrob.

Even some girls in the audience blush when they see Sasuke.

"But what do you see with emo?!" Mineta asked, jealous when he saw another attractive boy who was successful among women. "He even has success with older girls!"

"Not that emo was so attractive." Kaminari snorted, also jealous.

"Even if we explain it to them, they would never understand." Ashido said looking at them.

Konohamaru: Naruto. [Runs towards Naruto.]

Kankuro: Great, another weakling that bothers me.

"Weakling?!" Spinner exclaimed loudly with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh hoo hoo! He'll regret that."

"I literally managed to hurt him with a pebble." Mr. Compress said. "If I were him, I wouldn't underestimate Sasuke."

"Especially because we have already seen what he is capable of." Dabi said.

"Oh how I want you to fight him! And let there be a lot of blood!" Toga exclaimed excitedly at the idea of seeing blood, much to the disgust of the rest of the audience.

Sasuke: Get lost. [Sasuke crushed the stone into powder.]

Sakura: It's so cool! [Sakura, Moegi and Udon had blushing cheeks.]

"Wow! "Sasuke is really amazing!" Yanagi said blushing, as did several girls in the audience.

"He's not my type but it's true that he's very cool." Kendo said.

"You really see the emo!?" Mineta exclaimed in a fit of jealousy. "It's not that great!"

"You're only saying that because you're jealous, ribbit." Asui answered.

Konohamaru: Why aren't you as cool as him?

Naruto: What are you talking about? I could have taken care of him in two seconds. Sasuke you always try to make me look bad in front of others.

"Naruto shouldn't feel jealous." Nejire said. "He's great in his own way."

"Yeah!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly. "He's even better than Sasuke in my opinion."

Kushina nods excitedly seeing how there are people who support her son.

"Actually Sasuke only intervened to help them, not to make you look bad." Iida said.

"Yes, but he doesn't see it that way." Yaoyorozu said. "From his perspective he and Sasuke are in a competition."

Kankuro: Hey fool, get down from there. You are one of those annoying brats that I hate the most with an attitude that is nothing more than words.

Temari: [Surprised] What? Are you going to use the crow for this? [Kankuro had lowered what he was carrying on his back.]

"Crow? But what is that?" Kaminari asked surprised.

"Apparently it's that mummy he is carrying." Komori said. "Although I have no idea what it's use it for.

"It must be some type of weapon, although I am curious of its function." Midoriya said, preparing to write it down in his notebook.

?: Kankuro, back off. [Sasuke was surprised as was the rest.] You are embarrassing our village. [A red-haired boy was standing upside down in the same tree as Sasuke.]

Kankuro: [Nervous] H...Hello Gaara.

Sasuke: How did he get there? He didn't make any noise. Only Kakashi-sensei's level are so skilled. [While Gaara watches Sasuke, as Gaara watched Sasuke]

The audience is greatly surprised to see Gaara, some also feel somewhat intimidated by his presence.

"Ahhh!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"Th…that boy." Shoji exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems like he was the third member they were waiting for." Midoriya said surprised while writing this down in his notebook.

"He has a really scary look." Awase said scared.

"And you say it, ribbit." Asui said, also intimidated by Gaara. "Yes, even his own teammates seem to be afraid of him."

"And he looks pretty young." All Might said surprised. "That boy must be about the age of Naruto and the rest."

"Oh really?" Eri asked.

"Actually yes." Felicity said, much to the audience's surprise. "Gaara is 12 years old."

"And the other two?" Midoriya asked with interest.

"The girl's name is Temari and she is 16 years old, and Kankuro is 14." Felicity said to the surprise of the audience, as he wrote down this information in his notebook.

"So young and so scary." Mineta said scared of Gaara.

"But then again that girl is our age." Kendo said surprised. "She could be a UA student."

[In another place the Hokage was having a meeting with a group of jounin.]

Hiruzen: I have brought you together for a very important reason, seeing your fellow Jounin you will surely know why you are here.

Kakashi: So soon? I thought we had more time.

Asuma: I figured the other lands were already notified about the upcoming event. Note that some Genin have already arrived at our village.

"Oh so this is the chunin exams." Midoriya said writing this down in his notebook.

"Apparently it is not an exclusive event for the people of Konoha, but foreign ninjas also participate." Yaoyorozu said with interest.

"Yes that's how it is." Kushina said, she was going to add something else but Felicity stopped her.

"You will learn more information about it later." Felicity said, to the annoyance of the audience who wanted to know more about the chunin exams, but turned their attention to the screen.

Kurenai: And... when do we start?

Hiruzen: We'll start in a week.

Kakashi: That news is very hasty.

Hiruzen: Stay tuned, it's just seven days from today. On the first day of July the Genin will be gathered and examined, only the best will be selected as Chunnin.

"Oh great!" Eri exclaimed excitedly before the chunin exams.

"They are surely going to be very difficult tests." Iida said thoughtfully. "With what we have already been able to observe about ninjas and their world, it is not surprising that this is the case."

"That without a doubt." Felicity said making the audience look at her with interest. "Do you remember the sports festival? "Well compared to the chunin exams they are a joke." This greatly surprised the audience.

"A…a joke?" Mineta asked, somewhat scared, imagining the chunin exams and remembering how hard the sports festival was.

"Yes, and not just because foreign ninjas participate, but at the sports festival no one dies or is seriously injured, right?" Felicity asked scaring the audience.

"N…no!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed. "If something like that happened, the school would have problems."

"Well, the only thing I will tell you is that those who participate in the chunin exams have to sign a document that exonerates the organizers for serious injuries, or death of the participant." Felicity said scaring the audience.

"I'm actually glad I don't have to participate in those exams." Kaminari said scared. "Especially if that scary boy is going to participate."

[We return once again to the place where team 7, team Konohamaru and Gaara and his brothers are]

Gaara: You're embarrassing our village. Have you already forgotten the reason why we came here?

Kankuro: Aaah I know. It's...it's that they challenged us. They started this, I don't usually... You know I'm very...

"That is not true!" Uraraka exclaimed, annoyed with Kankuro.

"Konohamaru only collided with you, No one challenged you to a fight!" Nejire exclaimed in annoyance, scaring her classmates a little with her outburst.

"Although on the other hand, why does he act like that?" Midoriya asked. "Does it seem like you are afraid of that boy? Although why? Aren't they supposed to be allies?

"That boy is really very scary." Eri said scared grabbing Mirio's arm.

"No idea why they fear him." Sero said. "It looks kind of scary, but they're supposed to be your allies."

Gaara: Shut up or I'll kill you.

The audience is shocked and horrified upon hearing Gaara's words.

"A…ah!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"That boy is certainly someone very interesting." Dabi said looking at him with interest.

"Wow yes!" Toga exclaimed, looking at him too. "I think I like it."

"And of course you are interested." Vlad said looking at the villains with disgust.

Kankuro: [Scared] Uh sure... I got out of control... I'm sorry Gaara, forgive me, I'm really sorry.

Gaara: I apologize for the trouble caused.

"Well, at least he apologized." Komori said, although she still feels uncomfortable with Gaara.

"It was the right thing to do." Kendo said. "Not only was his partner the one who caused the problem in the first place, but they are also in a village that is not theirs."

Sasuke: This boy has a wicked look.

Gaara: He stopped Kankuro with a pebble, and made it look easy. This boy is important. [Gaara disappeared into a pile of sand and reappeared in front of Temari and Kankuro.] Come on, we don't come here to play.

Kankuro: Sure…Of course I understand. [They prepare to leave]

"The emo is not wrong that that boy has a perverse look." Mr. Compress said scared. "I really wouldn't want to have to face it."

"You are not the only one." Dabi said, that although he believes he could defeat him since he seems to have similar abilities to those of the hero who killed Snatch, like Wolverine there is something about him that indicates danger and the most prudent thing is to stay away from him.

"Sand." Shigaraki said, carefully observing Gaara and also remembering his encounter with Snatch and how his Quirk did no harm to the hero of the arena.

"And the weird boy is not wrong when he claims that Sasuke is someone important." Yaoyorozu said. "The fact that he was able to stop that boy with just a pebble is proof of that."

"And he didn't even have to use his Sharingan for that." Kaminari said surprised.

"Well, he's not the best student at the academy for nothing, you know." Kushina said proud of her friend Mikoto's son.

"Well, thank goodness everything finally got resolved." Mandalay said.

Sakura: Wait.

Temari: What?

Sakura: From their bands I can recognize that they come from the village hidden in the sand, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies, but no Shinobi can enter another village without any explicit permission. So explain your visit and do it well.

"Oh this is interesting." Midoriya said as he wrote down in his notebook. "So ninjas can't enter foreign villages without a permit."

"So it seems." Uraraka said. "Though they're probably there for the chunin exams."

"And how come they don't know that?" Iida asked, not knowing why team 7 would ignore this about the chunin exams.

"Ah well, you see, the thing is that chunin exams don't always take place in Konoha, any village can organize them and invite others to participate, you know." Kushina explained to the surprise of the audience, Midoriya once again wrote everything down in his notebook.

"Oh that makes sense." Melissa said thoughtfully.

Temari: Seriously, maybe you live under a rock or something. You have no idea what's happening, right? [Shows her her permit.] We have permission. Of course you're right, we are genin from the sand village, our home is Land of Wind and we are here to take the Chunnin exams, do you understand?

"Yes, this confirms it." Nezu said. "They are there to take the chunin exams."

"Oh, wow. The exams are going to be complicated if those three are going to participate." Awase said worriedly.

"I'm really glad we don't have to do them." Mineta said scared. "Especially if they are worse than the sports festival."

Naruto: The Chunnin Exams? What's that? Well I've never heard of the Chunnin exams, believe it!

Temari: What I notice, believe it, is that you're clueless.

Konohamaru: Boss, these are the exams that all Genin must take to graduate and become a complete Chunnin.

The audience is shocked to notice Naruto's ignorance about the chunin exams.

"B...but how is it possible that he didn't know something so basic." Yanagi said. "Even Konohamaru knows that."

"Maybe he ran away from class when they taught him." Iida said slightly annoyed as he remembered Naruto's behavior.

"Or maybe his teachers didn't teach him that, because except for Iruka they hate him." Spinner said.

Naruto: Oh! Because you didn't tell me, I'll be there! [Gaara turned around and left the place.]

Sasuke: Hey, you. Identify yourself.

Temari: [Blushing] Mmm, you're talking to me.

"It just can't be!" Mineta yelled standing up jealous of Sasuke. "How can it be that he does so well with the ladies and I don't!?"

"Well, maybe if you were less perverted and more polite maybe you would get some women to pay attention to you." Asui said. "Why do I give him advice?" She muttered.

Sasuke: No, him, the one with the pumpkin on his back.

Gaara: My name is Gaara of the Desert. You also make me curious. Who are you?

Sasuke: I'm Sasuke Uchiha. [Both stare at each other.]

The audience tenses as they watch the exchange between Sasuke and Gaara, while Midoriya writes down Gaara's nickname in his notebook.

Naruto: How are you? They are surely dying to know my name.

Gaara: Believe me not. [Gaara and his team disappeared from the place.]

The audience laughs a little at the fact that no one is interested in Naruto.

"Well, next time maybe." Sero said.

Sasuke: Mmm this is getting interesting.

"Emo is not wrong about that." Bakugo said, excited for what he would see next and looking forward to good fights. "If they are going to participate in the chunin exams it will definitely be very interesting."

"And dangerous." Mineta said fearfully, much to Bakugo's chagrin.

"DON'T BE A COWARD CRYBABY!" Bakugo exclaimed furiously, scaring Mineta greatly.

Naruto: Hey Konohamaru, don't I look like someone cool?

Konohamaru: Well, compared to Sasuke, you're pathetic.

"Well, comparing them is unfair." Mirio said. "They both have things that make them great in their own way, like me and Tamaki."

"That's true." Nejire said. "They both have things that make them great."

Naruto: Aaah don't compare me to Sasuke.

Sasuke: Aaah back off silly.

"It's good to see everything is back to normal." Mandalay said.

Zaku: What do you think, Dozu? [We can see a trio of ninjas on top of a tree.]

Dozu: The classic weaklings, nothing special, but that boy from the Uchiha clan and that desert rat we must watch carefully.

"And what village are those from?" Midoriya asked with interest. "Their headbands have a symbol that does not belong to any of the villages we already saw."

"And it seems to be some kind of musical note." Kaminari said. "Will that relate to their abilities?"

"Maybe, ribbit." Asui said.

"I already want to see what kind of skills they have." Jiro said interested.

[Scene change to the Hokage's office.]

Hiruzen: Well, the time has come to choose our candidates for the Chunnin exams. To begin, those in charge of the Genin step forward [Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma came forward.] Kakashi, Kurenai and Asuma, what do you say? Is there anyone from your team that you recommend? Who is ready for the exams? Despite their inexperience, as any Genin who has completed eight or more missions knows, they are technically eligible for the exams. Although only you can choose when you are ready. Of course most Genin require a lot more training, more than double the missions.

"Oh, so that's the requirement to apply for the chunin exams." Midoriya said as he wrote it down in his notebook. "Complete eight or more missions and the recommendation of your sensei."

"Is that really enough though?" Uraraka asked. "We especially did take into account some of the missions."

"Well, no." Kushina said. "The vast majority of genin require much more than that to be ready to perform. That is why the final decision corresponds to each sensei, to judge when his team is ready."

Iruka: There's no need to say all this, it's too early for your teams.

"You're honestly right." Recovery Girl said. "They are still too young, especially if those exams are really as dangerous as they say."

"Yeah, maybe it's best to wait a bit…" All Might pauses as he sees what happens next.

Hiruzen: Kakashi, you start.

Kakashi: I led team seven, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno. I Kakashi Hatake recommend these three Genin for the Chunnin selection exams. [Iruka was surprised by what he said.]

Kurenai: My team is number eight, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. And I Kurenai Yuhi recommend all three.

Asuma: And my team is number ten, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. And now I, Asuma Sarutobi, recommend all three.

[The other jounin present began to murmur at what the three jounin said.]

The audience is greatly surprised to see how not only Kakashi, but the rest of the senseis recommend their teams to participate in the chunin exams. Their surprise is such that for a few moments they don't say anything.

"Wow, I didn't expect this." Shigaraki said surprised at what just happened.

"Isn't it hasty?" All Might asked worried. "They are just children, they should have more time to prepare."

"But if your senseis consider that they are ready, then perhaps that is the case." Aizawa said. "Besides, in a dangerous world like this, maybe it's for the best."

"But still…" Thirteen said worriedly.

"Maybe don't worry so much." Kushina said. "The final decision to participate or not is theirs, if they decide to wait a little longer, they can do it." "Although I know they took this exam."

"Well, could be worst." Pixie-Bob said. "Although they will surely participate, at least Sasuke and Naruto will want to participate."

Iruka: Hey, wait a minute.

Hiruzen: Yes, what's wrong Iruka?

Iruka: Lord Hokage, with all due respect, the nine names you just gave were my students at the academy, I know their abilities and aptitudes very well. Each of them have great promises, but it is very early, they need experience before being tested, if they do it now, they will surely fail their exams.

"Well, Iruka has a valid point." All Might said. "Although they all have a lot of potential, it might be better for them to take a little more time."

"Especially if those exams really are that difficult, ribbit." Asui said, somewhat scared when she imagined them.

"And we do take into account your mission to the Land of Waves." Komori said scared when she remembered her. "I mean they barely survived."

Kakashi: When I became a Chunnin I was six years younger than Naruto is today.

The audience is greatly surprised to hear this.

"W…what?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"He was 6 years younger than Naruto when he became a chunin!?" Uraraka exclaimed in surprise.

"But then, he became a chunin at 6?!" Mahoro exclaimed in surprise.

"So young and he could pass!?" Sero exclaimed surprised. "And at what age did he graduate from the academy?!"

"At 5." Kushina responded, to the surprise of the audience, while Midoriya writes this information down in his notebook. "Kakashi was recognized as a child as a prodigy and someone with a lot of potential. "Although, at that time the village desperately needed ninjas, so that's part of the reason he graduated from the academy so early."

"And the other reason?" Yanagi asked.

"That there wasn't much else the academy could teach him." Kushina said, much to the audience's surprise.

"So young and with so much power." All for One said suddenly interested in Kakashi. "It seems that Sharingan is not the only thing of value in it."

Iruka: [Annoyed] Naruto doesn't look like you. Are you trying to destroy him?

Kakashi: Well, they're always complaining about not having challenges at their level.

"Well that's true." Mandalay said. "Naruto was complaining about not having real challenges and having to do those missions."

"And they will have to do them at some point anyway." Kushina said. "If Naruto wants to be Hokage, rising in rank and improving his skills are things he will have to do."

Kakashi: Maybe being included in the exams will teach them a lesson. A little pain is good.

Iruka: What? What are you saying?

Kakashi: Nothing fatal of course. Seriously, relax Iruka. I understand how you feel, it is something very personal for you and it bothers you but...

Kurenai: Stop it Kakashi, you've said enough.

Kakashi: On the contrary Kurenai. Iruka needs to hear this. You need to realize that they are no longer your students. They are mine. [Iruka gets upset upon hearing this.]

"Well, they may not be your students anymore but that doesn't mean you should stop worrying about them." Fuyumi said.

"It's really nice to see how he still cares about them." All Might said happy to see him.

"Although it is also true that now these jounins are the ones who are the teachers of these boys, and now they are the ones who must guide them and continue their training." Aizawa said. "It's hard for Iruka, but that's life."

Asuma: Now... it's over.

Iruka: But those exams could destroy them, and you know it.

"Are they really that hard?" Sato said surprised. "Aren't they exaggerating a little?"

"No not at all." Kushina said. "They really are very complicated. In fact you will see later how complicated they are." The audience tenses as they imagine what the exams could be like, especially if they are like the ones Zabuza did that killed the rest of his class.

"I just hope they have a lot of blood!" Toga thought excitedly when she imagined it.

Hiruzen: Iruka… you already made your point and I understand it.

Iruka: Lord Hokage.

Hiruzen: According to that, I have decided that it is best to prepare a special preliminary exam.

Iruka: [Surprised] A preliminary exam?

"Well, that would be a good idea." Nezu said. "An additional test could be positive to test whether or not these young people are suitable to take the chunin exams."

"What will these preliminary exams consist of?" Melissa asked with interest.

"A skills test? Could that be it?" Iida asked in turn.

"Or some other type of test to determine whether they are ready or not." Asui said. "Be that as it may, we'll see, ribbit."

"AHGH!" Bakugo exclaimed. "Let them begin at once!"

"Patience katchan." Midoriya said to calm him down. "They will begin soon."

[Scene change, Team 7 is back on the bridge waiting for Kakashi who is once again late.]

Sakura: [Annoyed] Because! It's always the same. He sets the time and then we have to wait for him for hours.

Naruto: If it's not fair.

Sakura: And what about my feelings? I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to dry my hair.

Naruto: And I didn't even have time to wash my mouth or change my underwear.

Sakura: [Disgusted] Ahhh don't you… that's disgusting Naruto.

The audience is surprised and a little disgusted due to this statement from Naruto.

"Eww!" Several people exclaimed in disgust.

"Ew.. he didn't need to say that." Nejire said disgusted. "I really didn't want to know that."

"What a surprise, their sensei is arriving late again." Mandalay said.

"It's really very irresponsible of him!" Iida exclaimed making a chopping motions in the air.

"He is very handsome, but obviously punctuality is not his strong suit." Pixie-Bob said. "Mh, okay, we all have flaws, I guess. If I went on a date with him I would probably have to wait a while, but that's okay."

"But on the other hand the music is just great." Jiro said. "It really fits this scene perfectly."

Sasuke: So early and these two are already driving me crazy.

Kakashi: Hello, good morning everyone, sorry for the delay. I fear that I have lost my way on the path of life again.

The audience is surprised once again to hear Kakashi's excuse.

"And just when I thought he couldn't surprise me with his excuses…" Sato said frustrated.

"But how irresponsible that is!" Iida exclaimed annoyed. "How can you be late for no valid reason?!"

Kushina, on the other hand, is sad because she knows why Kakashi is late, and it is something that causes her great pain.

Sakura and Naruto: [Annoyed] Yes, of course.

"You really have to make up a better excuse." Kamikiri said.

"Or arrive on time." Iida said.

Kakashi: I know this is sudden, but I recommended all three of you for the Chunin Exams. [He shows them the applications, to the surprise of his students.] All of this is voluntary, it depends on each one of you, if you don't feel ready you can wait until next year.

"Well, this is what they had already told us. That the final decision whether or not to participate in the exams is yours." Midoriya said.

"Thank goodness it is like that." Yaoyorozu said.

Naruto: Whao super Kakashi-sensei you are great! [Naruto hugs his sensei happily.]

Kakashi: Hey! Don't Babe my vest. [Naruto released him and Kakashi handed him his application] Whoever wants to take the exams signs the application and goes to room three hundred and one in the academy. At three in the afternoon in five days, that's all.

Naruto: Hahaha! Chunnin Exams! Chunnin Exams!

"Naruto is really excited about the chunin exams." Mirio said.

"And I'm the same way!" Tetsutetsu said excitedly. "Those exams, no matter how difficult they are, must be incredible!"

"And extremely manly!" Kirishima also exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm really interested of the tests." Shinso said with interest. "What challenges will they have to face?"

"That's what we all want to know!" Bakugo said. "Let them begin at once."

Naruto: Mmm Chunin exams… I will face many really strong ninjas! Like the boy who carried the mummy on his back and of course Mr. Bleeding. [Seeing Sasuke angry, Naruto began to imagine Kankuro and Sasuke defeated, the Hokage resigning and becoming the new Hokage, as well as imagining himself wearing the Hokage's cape and hat.]

The audience is was very amused as they witness Naruto's imagination.

"This guy, he's really very funny!" Spinner exclaimed between laughs.

"Aw! Adorable and fun! I'm so in love!" Toga exclaimed.

"Although he is rushing too much. YES Iruka considers that they were already anticipating taking the chunin exams, let alone being Hokage." Yanagi said.

"Not to mention that both Sasuke and Kankuro are rivals who should not be underestimated." Kendo said. "Especially considering we know next to nothing about Kankuro and his abilities."

"Although of those three the one that really worries me is this Gaara guy." Yaoyorozu said scared when she remembered it.

"That boy is really scary!" Ashido said scared when she remembered it.

Sasuke: I hope I can fight that guy. [Imagine Gaara]

"The emo is crazy if he wants to face that terrifying guy!" Mineta exclaimed.

"Well, Sasuke wants to get stronger to defeat his brother, so facing guys like Gaara is part of that." Midnight said. "Although it is bad that he acts out of revenge, it is understandable to a certain extent."

"That boy will stop at nothing and no one to get what he wants." Dabi said happily when he noticed it. "I already like him."

"And of course a villain would say something like that." Vlad said.

Sakura: [Saddened] This is useless, I can't be on Sasuke's level and I can't even beat Naruto. I will never pass these exams.

"It was a matter of time before something like that was questioned." Midnight said. "From what we've seen of her lately, she's feeling inferior to her teammates, and that her skills aren't up to par."

"Well, with that attitude I'm sure she won't pass." Nejire said. "Have some more faith in yourself girl!" She cheered.

"If you just put in the effort and train, you will surely make a lot of progress!" Hagakure said.

"Ha! As if that were going to happen. "That brat is a weakling." Shigaraki mocked.

"Of course it will happen!" Ashido exclaimed. "She's going to get better! You will see!"

"Yes of course." Shigaraki said in annoyance while scratching his neck.

[We see several ninjas arriving at Konoha, ready for the chunin exams.]

The audience is shocked to see the foreign ninjas.

"Oh, wow!" Eri exclaimed, excited to see them.

"So many ninjas!" Katsuma exclaimed, excited to see them.

"It's really going to be complicated if so many people are going to participate." Iida said.

"Brilliant! This is going to be really exciting!" Hatsume said interested.

[Scene change, the next day we see Naruto walking and Konohamaru and his friends ask him to play ninja with them, to which Naruto agrees. But suddenly a ninja from Amegakure appears out of nowhere and kidnaps Moegi before the surprised gaze of the rest, they proceed to follow the ninja who kidnapped Moegi]

The audience is shocked and horrified to see what just happened.

"Ehh!? B…but what?!" Uraraka exclaimed in surprise.

"What the hell! He just kidnapped a girl!" Nejire exclaimed, surprised and furious at this fact.

"That's crossing a line!" Vlad exclaimed annoyed.

"It's like that cowardly Hydra spy who kidnapped a child while he was running away!" Bakugo exclaimed, furious at the ninja's actions.

"And you say it Bakubro!" Kirishima exclaimed, also annoyed by what the Hydra spy had done in his escape. "And on top of that I throw it into the sea when I no longer need it! That is not at all a manly thing!"

"How low on your part! Using children like that!" Makoto exclaimed furiously.

Mirio and Midoriya, for their part, had to be restrained from lunging at the screen in a vain attempt to rescue Moegi.

"I understand how you feel guys, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do." Uraraka said.

"Y…you're right." Midoriya said as he sat back down.

Even the villains feel disgusted by this since while many of them would not hesitate to use civilians to fulfill their purposes, attacking children is total baseness.

[Elsewhere in Konoha, Sakura reflects on the chunin exams, while Sasuke, who is passing by, watches her.]

"Poor thing, she's really worried." Hagakure said.

"Well in your situation the difficult thing is not to be worried, ribbit." Asui said.

[Sasuke greets her and invites her to walk with him.]

The audience raises their eyebrows in suspicion upon seeing this.

"Okay, there's definitely something strange here." Tokoyami said looking at this suspiciously.

"You are absolutely right Fumi." Dark Shadow said in agreement with his friend.

"Emo asking that girl out? There's no way it's him." Mineta said.

"If it weren't for the fact that Naruto is chasing the ninja who kidnapped Moegi, I would think it was him trying to get close to Sakura again." Ashido said.

"But then, who is Sakura talking to?" Hagakure asked worriedly.

"I guess we'll see about that, ribbit." Asui said.

"I asked me if this is what I think it is." Nezu thought as he drank some tea.

[We return to the chase of the ninja who kidnapped Moegi, Naruto follows him at full speed and he comments that he can match his speed.]

"Naruto has really progressed a lot since he started." Iida said. "His speed has really increased."

"Thank goodness, that way I can save Moegi." Uraraka said, worried about the girl's well-being, as was he.

[Konohamaru and Udon on the other hand cannot keep up with him and fall behind.]

"For their part, they are not so fast." Sero said looking at Konohamaru and Udon.

"Well, they are young and they still have a lot to grow and train. They will surely improve over time." Iida said. "Like me and my brother, we improved our speed as we grew up, through effort and training."

[The kidnapper stops next to a tree.]

Moegi: No! Let me go!

Amegakure Ninja: Ha! I thought Konoha had powerful ninjas, but now I realize they're a bunch of weaklings! [Naruto arrives at the place.]

"Well, of course you were expecting to attack a girl, you damn coward!" Bakugo exclaimed furious with the ninja.

"That's not manly at all!" Kirishima exclaimed furiously. "Attack a girl!"

"Thank goodness Naruto arrived at the place." Shiozaki said. "I just hope that everything turns out well and that Naruto can save that girl. Please God help him, don't let anything bad happen to them."

Naruto: Hey you! Yes, your old paunch! What do you think you're doing!?

The audience laughs a little as they watch Naruto call out the enemy ninja.

"Ha! Nighteye would have really adored Naruto! "He would have had a lot of fun with him." Mirio said, although he becomes sad when remembering his mentor.

"Yes, definitely." All Might said in agreement with Mirio.

Amegakure Ninja: Do you really want to know?! [He brings a kunai closer to a tied Moegi, to Naruto's surprise and horror.] If you move, I'll finish her off.

The audience is greatly horrified upon hearing these words.

"That wretch!" All Might exclaimed furious with the ninja.

"Attacking a defenseless girl, what a damn bastard!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.

Naruto: Hey! Why are you doing this? She's a girl, leave her alone.

Amegakure Ninja: I want the first Hokage's seal scroll. Bring it to me and I'll let the girl go. [Naruto looks at him annoyed, but is worried about Moegi.]

"So he kidnaps that girl to force Naruto to steal a scroll!? What a cowardly act on his part!" Ashido exclaimed.

"Yes but there is something there that is not right." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "That's actually a pretty bad plan, mainly because it would attract too much attention that way."

"And why do I have the feeling of deja vu?" Uraraka asked.

"It's true that's really strange." Sero said.

"It seems that my theory was correct." Nezu thought. "This is the additional test for the chunin exams. So that means that not only Naruto, but all the other genins will have to face trials like this."

[Elsewhere, Sasuke and Sakura are walking and Sakura asks him why he wanted to spend time with her.]

"Well, at least she seems aware that there's something strange here." Kendo said.

"Thank goodness that girl was at least able to notice that." Midnight said. "I was originally worried that her love for that boy would blind her."

"Probably "Sasuke" is actually her extra test for the chunin exams." Nezu thought.

Sasuke: I think you should give up the chunin exams. There's no way you can get past them Sakura.

Sakura: I was afraid of that... You're right.

Sasuke: Those ninjas are very advanced and have no mercy. If you try to confront them you could die.

"There is something true in his words." Thirteen said. "I don't know if it's really a good idea for them to participate in the exams, and I'm not just talking about Sakura."

"She might be the weakest on the team, but on the other hand, if those exams are really that difficult, maybe it's better for them to wait a little while to take them." Mandalay said.

"Though don't forget that it's extremely unlikely that this is really Sasuke." Aizawa said looking at "Sasuke" suspiciously. "He's just trying to make her give up." The rest of the audience nods in agreement with the class A teacher.

Sakura: B... but Sasuke, you're implying that you care about me!

"Don't tell me you're going to end up falling for that!" Yanagi said.

"Let's hope not, ribbit." Asui said worried.

Sasuke: I... I think so.

[The Amegakure ninja appears behind them and mocks them, calling them lovers.]

Sasuke: Get lost, unless you want to die. [The ninja proceeds to attack him with some shurikens that Sasuke blocks, and proceeds to attack him with a kunai that he throws at him, but his kunai multiplies and attacks Sasuke much to Sakura's concern.]

The audience is shocked to see the same ninja attacking "Sasuke" and Sakura.

"Huh!?" Several people exclaimed, surprised at what they were seeing.

"Hold on!" Nejire exclaimed in surprise.

"B…but how is that possible?!" Iida asked surprised. "He was with Naruto and Moegi. How can he be here too?!"

"Maybe he has a twin?" Shoto said.

"This confirms it." Nezu thought. "They are definitely testing them. Well, this is good, at least it means that no one is in real danger."

[We return to where Naruto is, the Amegakure ninja wants me to bring him the scroll, but Naruto refuses to do so.]

The audience is happy to see Naruto's refusal.

"That's right!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly. "That's how you talk Naruto!"

"What a manly attitude!" Kirishima exclaimed excitedly.

"Young Uzumaki, he is truly admirable." All Might said proudly. "He won't agree to that guy's demands no matter what."

"Though I hope he can save Moegi from that guy." Ashido said worriedly.

"He will, we must have faith in him." Shiozaki said.

Amegakure Ninja: If you don't go it means you don't care about this girl's life.

Naruto: What a girl? I only see two piles of straw, one in your brain and the other next to you in the shape of a doll. [The ninja turns to see where he had Moegi only to discover a straw doll in his place, to the kidnapper's surprise.]

The audience bursts out laughing when they see how Naruto managed to save Moegi.

"This is hilarious!" Spinner exclaimed between laughs.

"Yes! Naruto made it!" Eri and Katsuma exclaimed excitedly, even Mahoro and Kota share the feeling, although they try to hide it a little.

"This guy…" Mirio said between laughs. "Not only did he save the girl but he also made a joke. "Nighteye would have really loved him." Mirio becomes sad once again when remembering his mentor, causing his friends to hug him to comfort him.

"A very good use for the substitution jutsu." Midoriya said happy to see Moegi's rescue. "What a shame we can't learn that skill, it would really be very useful to us."

"You said it, Deku-kun." Uraraka said. "We could help a lot of people with a technique like that."

[Looks up to see Naruto with Moegi.]

Naruto: She's here! Together with the best ninja in the world!

Moegi: Thank you! You are my hero boss!

The audience is happy to see this exchange between Naruto and Moegi.

"Naruto just gained another admirer." Sato said happily.

"You're not wrong about that." All Might said proudly. "Naruto has the heart of a true hero."

"You're right All Might!" Spinner exclaimed. "Naruto is definitely a true hero!"

Amegakure Ninja: [Furious] The cloning jutsu! I will finish you insect!

Naruto clone: You don't know how to recognize when you're surpassed, right? [He throws a net at him, trapping him and several clones jump on him and hit him.]

"Yes that's it! Destroy the b***! Finish off that fourth-rate villain!" Bakugo exclaimed.

"Thank goodness it's all over now." Ashido said. "Moegi is safe and that b*** is going to prison."

"Not exactly, but well, you'll see that later, when you see what this really was." Nezu thought as he drank some more tea.

[Konohamaru and Udon arrive at the scene, and Moegi hugs Konohamaru, who calms her down. When they turn to see the captured ninja they realize that in his place there is a rock, to everyone's surprise and confusion.]

The audience was sad to see that Moegi's kidnapper managed to escape.

"Hey but how?" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm, he used the same jutsu that Naruto used to rescue Moegi to escape." Midoriya said. "That jutsu can be very useful, but it is also a double-edged sword."

"I concur." Yaoyorozu said.

"Well, this is a partial victory I guess." Kendo said. "The kidnapper may have escaped, but at least Moegi is safe."

"It's true! At least that's good." Tokage said.

"It must have been a landslide victory, though." Bakugo said, annoyed by the ninja's escape.

[Elsewhere, Sakura was crying over Sasuke's "body." While the ninja makes fun of her, telling her that this is how it will end if she takes the exam.]

"Oh shut up!" Nejire exclaimed annoyed.

"I still don't understand how it's possible that he's here too." Kaminari said confused.

"Let's keep watching Jamming-Yay." Jiro said.

Sakura: Ha! I'm not so dumb! I saw through that cheap genjutsu from the first moment.

Amegakure Ninja: [Surprised] What!?

Sakura: Sasuke asking me out? And then suddenly, he cares so much about me. That was a very stupid mistake. Did you think I would fall for that?

The audience was greatly proud seeing this.

"Oh yeah!" Eri exclaimed.

"It's good to see that she realized it too." Nejire said. "I was worried for a moment."

"We all did senpai, ribbit." Asui said.

"I'm really glad she were able to recognize the deception." Midnight sighed in relief, proud of Sakura. "She has also grown up, even if she is not aware of it."

"Yeah." Thirteen said, also proud of Sakura. "Although she is still in love with Sasuke, at least she isn't going to be blinded by him."

[Sakura realizes that the ninja is also just an illusion, the ninja attacks her but doesn't hurt her because he's not really there.]

Amegakure Ninja: Just what I expected from a kunoichi trained by Kakashi! But the Chunin exams will be more than illusions. We'll see if you can handle it! [Disappears.]

Sakura: You don't scare me! Wishful thinking or not, I'm ready!

"Well said!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly.

"Although he wasn't wrong about something. The Chunin exams are much more than that." Kushina said, although she has faith in her son and her friends, she knows that the challenge is very complicated, perhaps even greater than the fight with Haku and Zabuza, because this time Kakashi will not be by her side if something goes wrong.

"Let the exams begin once and for all!" Bakugo exclaimed, impatient to see them.

"Calm down Bakubro." Kirishima said trying to calm him down, which earned him an angry look from Bakugo.

[Elsewhere Sasuke confronts another Amegakure ninja who looks just like the ones who attacked Naruto and Sakura earlier. He defeats him easily.]

Sasuke: Stay away from our village.

The audience is shocked once again to see that Sasuke was also attacked by the same ninja.

"Okay, how is this possible?!" Awase asked. "Does he attack all three of them at the same time?"

"And for what reason?" Ashido asked confused.

"You'll see, students." Nezu said since thanks to his Quirk he already knows what this really was, but he doesn't say anything so as not to spoil it for those who have not yet realized this. Some other people have also discovered the truth but they also refrain from saying anything. The rest of the audience watches with interest as they want to know what is really happening.

[Scene change, Konoha roof. At night Kakashi is looking at the moon, and the Amegakure ninja appears behind him.]

The audience is surprised to see this and watch with interest, eager to see what will happen next.

"Now this guy is screwed." Kaminari said. "You don't play with Kakashi."

Kakashi: And how was it?

"Wait, huh!?" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"Why is Kakashi talking to that guy?" Kaminari exclaimed in shock clenching his hair. "This makes no sense!"

Amegakure Ninja: Your team and the others did it all. The nine Genins proved to be ready for the exam [Transforming into Iruka.]

Most of the audience's eyes widened when they saw that the ninja was actually Iruka.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?!" Kaminari asked confused.

"Yeah, how is this possible?!" Ashido exclaimed.

"You really haven't realized it yet?" Bakugo asked in a flat tone.

"This was the additional test to see if they were ready for the chunin exams." Midoriya said, to the surprise of those who wasn't able to catch on.

"Oh, ... t-that makes sense." Komori said.

"So this whole time it was just Iruka testing them?" Nejire said.

"So it seems." Amajiki said. "It's good to know that at least none of them were in real danger."

Iruka: You were right Kakashi, they are skilled. They all developed impressive skills.

Iruka's look was almost in a fatherly way.

Kakashi: Mmm but the Chunnin Exams can break anyone. We'll see if they can get ahead.

"It's good to see that they have been able to grow so much in such a short time." Kendo said.

"And not just Team 7 it seems." Iida said. "From what Iruka said, all the rookie Genins have developed great abilities."

"I wonder what kinds of abilities they will have." Midoriya said with interest.

[In another location a group can be seen training, although they cannot see their faces.]

?: You heard that we are going to have rookies in the exams? Genins recently graduated that had not happened in five years.

[A boy with a bob-cut hair and huge eyes said as he moved around.]

?:They are students of some Jounin who want to raise their egos.

[A girl said. She has two chinese-style buns on her head with short fringe-bangs framing her face.]

?: No, there's something else to the story, the three of them are from Kakashi's team. [The camera focuses on him and we can see his face.]

?: Interesting.

Cooly commented another boy with long brown hair and huge milky white eyes that reminded the audience of Hinata's

?: Oh, not so much. [The short haired kid said as he throws a kunai at a target above the long hair's head, who is unfazed by this.]

?: Either way, it's a shame for them. [Their faces can now be seen clearly.]

The audience were intrigued upon seeing this new team of Genins.

"That boy is dead-on Bruce Lee." Rin said pointing to the short haired boy, surprised by his resemblance to the martial artist.

"Really? And who is that?" Kodai asked since the name didn't ring a bell.

"A famous Hong Kong actor and martial artist from the pre-Quirk era." Said Rin. "My family and I used to watch his movies."

"And not only that." Ojiro said. "He is also credited with paving the way for modern mixed martial arts and helping to bridge the gap between west and east."

"Oh wow, he sounds like someone really cool." Ashido said.

"I should add his movies to my list of things from the pre-Quirk era I should see." Midoriya said with interest, as did several in the audience who also have an interest in watching Bruce Lee's movies.

"Although on the other hand, who are they?" Uraraka asked.

"You'll see later." Felicity said.

[A few days later at the academy, team 7 arrives to take the chunin exams.]

Naruto: Sakura, hey, you're late.

Sakura: Aaah right, sorry guys. [Sakura stopped looking at Naruto and looked at Sasuke, remembering what happened to her recently.] Good morning Sasuke.

Sasuke: Yes. What's with it, it's different.

"At last!" Bakugo exclaimed. "It's about time they got started!"

[There were many people waiting at the entrance to later be seen kicking Rock Lee, there are two Konoha ninjas blocking the entrance to classroom 301.]

Konoha Ninja #1: They talk about the Chunnin Exams, but they can't even pass before us. Why don't they just give up before they get hurt?

Konoha Ninja #2: Yes, I think their mommies were calling them.

?: Please let us through, we are supposed to enter. [To then be hit by the ninja at the door entrance, falling to the ground.]

The audience gets upset seeing the attitude of these ninjas.

"Hey! How dare they do that!" Nejire exclaimed annoyed.

"Who do they think they are!?" Kodai exclaimed.

"That's not manly at all!" Kirishima exclaimed annoyed.

"Those are the kids from before." Midoriya said while writing in his notebook. "If they appeared before they are probably important."

Anonymous: It must be cruel.

Konoha Ninja #2: Did you say cruel? Listen we're being nice by comparison, the exams will make this look like a field day.

Konoha Ninja #1: Some will not survive the exams, others will be cut short for life, and some will go crazy. For a chunnin it is always life or death.

The audience became extremely tense and uneasy upon hearing this, especially the part where death is actually not unusual in these exams.

"I know they said they could die, but I didn't expect it to be so common." Awase said scared.

"Your right, ribbit." Asui said scared.

"In our world they couldn't do something like that. "If someone died in an exam or at the sports festival, it would be a big scandal." Mandalay said. "We even had to lower the intensity of our training to minimize the risks." The latter scared a little the students who remember very well how hard the training with the Pussycats was.

"You said it. "I don't even want to imagine what would happen in our world with something like that." Midnight said.

"Goodness." Mineta said scared when he imagined it, like the rest of the students.

[Team 7 approaches the location.]

Konoha Ninja #1: Do you think this is a joke? Chunnins are qualified to lead missions, which means putting the lives of their teams in their hands.

So you better be tough, to be able to take the risk. [Looking at Tenten.] Delicate little girls don't belong here.

"Wow, the Chunins and Jounins have a big burden on their hands." All Might said.

"It must be something really hard." Uraraka said.

"Although as heroes we will one day have a similar burden." Iida said reminded them.

Konoha Ninja #1: We want to avoid unnecessary suffering, so go home and play with your dolls.

Sasuke: What a good speech. Now both of you move away and let me pass. And while you're there, reverse the Genjutsu because we can see through your illusion. We need to go to the third floor.

Extra Ninja: What do you mean? We are on the third floor.

Konoha Ninja #2: Wow, wow, so you noticed the Genjutsu, huh?

The audience is shocked to see this.

"Wait it's a genjutsu?" Kaminari asked surprised.

"Seems so.." Jiro said surprised.

"These exams are truly interesting." Iida said surprised.

"Young Uchiha is really a very smart individual." All Might said.

Sasuke: Go ahead and tell them Sakura. I'm sure you saw it before anyone else. You have the brightest mind and best analytical skills on our team, you should have suspected it a mile ago.

Sakura: Should I have? Yes of course. I realized right away, this is only the second floor.

Naruto: Sure. [The number three hundred one had become two hundred one.]

"Yes this confirms it." Yanagi said. "It was definitely a Genjutsu."

Konoha Ninja #1: Apparently they are the smart ones. They could notice our excitement, but now let's see how they deal with this. [The ninja had launched a kick, Sasuke seeing him also did the same, but the boy from before, the one with short hair,quickly appeared and grabbed both of their legs, stopping them.]

The audience was impressed to see how quickly both Sasuke and the other kids moved.

"Incredible!" Iida said surprised again by the speed of the people of the Naruto world. "I couldn't even see when had they moved."

"Now I'm very curious about this Bruce Lee look alike." Rin said.

"Yes, his skills are impressive." Midoriya said, writing down in his notebook. "I wonder if I could learn some techniques like that."

Sakura: How did he do that? I thought he was a weakling who could be easily dismissed, but he's as fast as Sasuke.

Sasuke: He stopped my kick, what a great quality of Chakra he has in his arm.

The audience is shocked to see this.

"Oh so he uses chakra to harden his arm? Is that possible?" Midoriya asked.

"Not quite." Felicity said. "You'll see later what he's doing."

"It's so manly!" Kirishima said upon seeing Lee.

"That boy, he is definitely a stronger rival than he seems." Vlad said, watching carefully.

?: Hey, what happened to the plan? You said we had to go unnoticed so that no one sees the level of our skills.

The boy with the long hair appeared and spoke to his companion.

?: I know but... [He looks at Sakura blushing.]

?: Forget it, it's over and it's all history.

The short haired girl said.

Sasuke: But... What happened to the injuries he had before? They are no longer there. Were they fake?

"That would have been a good plan." Aizawa said. "Hide his true power so you can surprise others in exams."

"But he has already revealed to them at least some of his power." Shishida said.

"At least it's over with those two idiots." Ashido said.

Midoriya, for his part, wonders about Lee's injuries as they give him a strange feeling of deja vu.

?: My name is Rock Lee. You are Sakura right? [The boy who introduced himself to Sakura as he blushed which lead Sakura to be confused] Please be my girlfriend.

The audience is greatly surprised to hear Lee's words.

"Ehh!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"Did he really just ask that?!" Ashido exclaimed in surprise, while Midoriya wrote down Lee's name in his notebook.

"He's in love with Sakura too!?" La Brava said surprised. "Well, Naruto is going to have some tough competition."

"I wouldn't recommend it." Mineta said. "That girl is kind of aggressive."

Rock Lee: I will dedicate myself to protecting you with my life! [He gave her a smile.]

Sakura: [Surprised] Definitely… no.

Rock Lee: [Disappointed] Why?

"Is he seriously asking that?" Hagakure asked. "She literally doesn't even know you."

"It's kind of nice that he tells her that he's going to protect her." La Brava said. "Although he should first spend time with her before asking her to be his girlfriend."

"The surprising thing is that he was surprised by the rejection." Jiro said. "It was obvious."

Sakura: Because you're weird. [Lee becomes sad upon hearing her comment.]

[Naruto laughs when he sees this.]

"Well, he is a little weird." Kodai. "Although in our world there are much stranger people than him."

"I still feel a little bad for him." Ashido said.

?: Hey, you over there, what's your name? [The long haired boy asked Sasuke]

Naruto: [Annoyed] Again? Everything is always for Sasuke.

"To some extent it is understandable." Kamikiri said. "Of the two, Sasuke is undoubtedly the one who attracts the most attention."

"Poor Naruto." Eri said saddened.

Sasuke: It's common courtesy to give your name before asking anyone else.

?: Hey, you're a rookie, right? How old are you?

[The boy ignored his words]

Sasuke: I am not obliged to answer.

?: [Annoyed] What are you saying?

The audience were a little tense in seeing this exchange between Neji and Sasuke.

"So, are we seeing the beginning of a rivalry between Sasuke and this boy?" Asui wondered.

"I wonder who he is." Kuroiro said curious with the boy.

"And what kind of skills will he have?" Midoriya wondered. "His eyes are somewhat similar to Hinata's." This was the detail they caught when they saw first him.

"It's true." Uraraka said. "Are they related?"

"Maybe." Yaoyorozu said scratching her chin.

?: Handsome.

"Oh com on?!" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise.

"And another one joins in..." Mineta said dejectedly.

"It's really not that difficult see why." Hagakure said.

"That boy is certainly very cute." Ashido said slightly blushing. "It's not difficult to understand why all those girls are interested in him."

"Women, I definitely can't understand you." Aizawa thought.

[Naruto and Lee were leaning against the wall depressed.]

Rock Lee: Very strange.

Naruto: Aw! Nobody wants to know my name.

"Well, that's certainly depressing." Melissa said.

"The rejection and lack of interest must be hard for them." La Brava said saddened as she remembered her first failure in love. "But probably in the future they will find someone who is interested in them."

"I hope in Naruto's case it's Hinata." Ashido wished because she already ships those two hard.

Sakura: Hey, Naruto! Sasuke! We need to go.

Sasuke: I'm coming, don't pull me Sakura.

Konoha Ninja #1: Hmp, so those are the balls of misfits who are students of Kakashi and Guy.

"Oh so the sensei of that other team is called Guy." Midoriya said while writing this down in his notebook.

"I already want to see their sensei." Mirio said excitedly. "To find out what kind of person he is and what skills he will have."

"He sure sounds like someone great." Nejire said. "At least from what that guy said, this Guy must be someone minimally recognized."

"We'll see." Tamaki said.

Konoha Ninja #2: I think they already passed the first exam to get their applications.

[They transform revealing that they are not Genins, but Jounins.]

Konoha Ninja #1: Looks like the exams will be fun this year, huh.

Konoha Ninja #2: For us yes, but not for them.

Sasuke: So these are the dreaded Chunnin exams, huh? It's a freak show.

The audience is were once again surprised to find out it was another test.

"W…what?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.

"This was another exam to obtain applications?!" Mineta exclaimed surprised.

"To even get the applications do you have to pass an exam?" Uraraka asked, surprised by this fact.

"So it seems." Iida said. "In chunin exams nothing is what it seems."

"This is going to be even more difficult than the mission on the Land of Waves." Kushina said, worried for the safety of her son and his friends, this also scares the audience, since they remember perfectly how dangerous the mission in Land of Waves were.

?: Sasuke of the Uchiha clan.

Tenten: He looks very bold Neji, are you going to challenge him? [Neji doesn't say anything, he leaves the place and Tenten follows him.]

"This guy definitely seems to have some kind of interest in Sasuke." Shishida said.

"Can you blame these people? The boy certainly is interesting" All For One said.

"Maybe he wants to fight him." Kamikiri said thoughtfully. "If so, that boy is either very brave or very stupid."

"Or maybe he trusts his abilities enough to believe he has a real chance against Sasuke." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "Considering that we don't know what kind of abilities he has and that we already saw some of his teammate's power, it is assumed that this boy is at least moderately strong."

"Yes, that is highly likely." Yaoyorozu said.

"That is a good observation young Midoriya." Nezu said congratulating his student.

"But who would win in a fight between the two?" Shoto said thinking about the outcome of a possible battle.

"Maybe they'll have a fight later and we'll find out." Natsuo shrugged.

"Unfortunately not." Felicity thought. "A real shame, but I guess you can't have it all in life."

"Is it just me or is that girl interested in that boy?" Hagakure asked.

"Yes, I think so too!" Ashido exclaimed, suddenly interested in them. "Hmm... I'm definitely shipping them."

"I want to see more of them!" La Brava said, excited by the idea of seeing another romance.

"Another thing that unfortunately will never happen." Felicity thought saddened since she knows Neji's fate.

Tenten: Lee, what are you waiting for? We have to go register.

Rock Lee: I'll be with you in a minute. You don't have to wait for me. I just want to verify something.

Tenten: What will he have in his hands?

?: I have no idea. [He leaves the place.]

The audience is surprised to see this attitude from Lee and wonder what he is up to.

"What you are doing is extremely irresponsible!" Iida exclaimed making a robotic cut. "You should go with your classmates to register, not go to do who knows what!"

"He can't hear you representative." Kirishima said slightly rolling his eyes.

"Though his teammates don't seem worried." Yanagi said thoughtfully. "They didn't even make an effort to follow him or stop him."

"Whatever his thinking of doing, I hope it doesn't get him in trouble, ribbit." Asui said.

[Scene change, team 7 is walking in a fairly large and clear room.]

Lee: Hey you! The one with the pose. Wait! [Lee is watching them from above.]

[Team Seven stopped at the call and looked back seeing Lee, Sakura is upset to see him, while Naruto looks confused and Sasuke showed no emotion.]

Some of the audience laughed at Sakura's expression, while others tensed as they can predict why Lee is there.

Sasuke: What do you want?

Lee: I want to fight. Right here and right now.

"This is not the time for that!" Iida exclaimed. "You should be signing up for the exams together with your classmates!"

"Why would he want to fight now? Against emo?! Is he crazy?!" Mineta asked.

"Maybe." Kaminari said. "It's really a very bad idea to challenge Sasuke."

"Although on the other hand..." Midoriya said excited to see Lee in action, he doesn't know why but there is something about Lee that draws his attention powerfully. He also prepares his notebook to write down anything he can learn about Lee.

Sasuke: You want to fight me here and now, huh?

"Yes that's what he said." Tsuburaba said.

Rock Lee: Yes. [Jumps off the railing and falls to the ground. ] My name is Rock Lee, you said it was a very common courtesy for your opponent to say your name first, right? Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke: Mmm so you know me.

"Well yes." Shishida said. "The difficult thing would be if he didn't."

"Considering that Sasuke is the last of his clan, that in itself makes him known." Aizawa said.

"The members of the Uchiha clan always attracted attention." Kushina said. "Even before the fall of the clan." This detail surprises the audience and they wonder what the other Uchiha and their clan must have been like.

Rock Lee: Now I challenge you. Everyone keeps talking about the Uchiha clan and how great it is, I want to check it out. I think you will be a good test for me.

"That's a bad idea." Awase said scared by the idea of facing Sasuke.

"Especially if he says it like that." Mineta said also scared. "The emo is not going to take it well if someone talks to him that way."

Rock Lee: Also. [Looks at Sakura, who tensed when she saw him looking at her and a blush appeared on Lee's cheeks.] Oooh Sakura I love you!

The audience laughs a little at this.

"This boy…" Ashido said. "His interest in Sakura is very nice, but it's only going to scare her away."

Someone in the audience coughed out Naruto's name.

Sakura: [Screaming scandalized] Aaaaah! Those eyebrows can't be real, No! His hairstyle is horrible too and those thick eyebrows are very strange!

The audience laughs at Sakura's thoughts.

"Well, there's no need to be so rude either." Nejire made a sour expression.

"I understand that his not your type and all and it can be a little strange, but there's no need to act like that." Ashido said diss approvingly.

Rock Lee: You are an Angel sent from heaven. [Lee blew her a kiss as a heart was aimed at Sakura who looked horrified, Sakura stepped aside dodging the heart.] That was a good move, but let's see if you can evade this. [Continues blowing her some kisses while the hearts went to Sakura who dodged each one of them.]

The audience (mainly Shigaraki) laughs at Sakura's attitude and expressions as she evades the hearts.

"Hahaha!" Shigaraki can't help but laugh at Sakura's bad time. "Hilarious!"

"Shigaraki can be scary when he laughs." Spinner whispered to Mr. Compress.

"Agree." said with a nod.

"That boy is very romantic! No, he's a stalker!" Twice exclaimed.

Sakura: It was very close. Hey, keep your little hearts to yourself. I'm going to avoid them all my life.

Lee: [Saddened.] You didn't have to be so negative, Sakura.

"That's true, you could be a little nicer to him." Hagakure said.

"Especially considering that despite everything that boy is still interested in her." La Brava said. "Now that I think about it he's similar to Naruto in that regard."

"Yeah." Ashido said. "They are both in love with Sakura even though she doesn't want anything to do with either of them and is obviously interested in Sasuke."

Naruto: [Angry] He wants to confront Sasuke, it's always Sasuke!

"Well, Lee surely finds Sasuke to be a stronger rival and someone superior to Naruto." Kuroiro said.

"Not to mention that he is an Uchiha and specifically wants to fight a member of that clan." Kendo added.

"Naruto shouldn't get discouraged." Uraraka said. "Someday people will be more interested in him than in Sasuke."

"Especially if he manages to become Hokage." Kushina said happily, while imagining Naruto in the Hokage's cape and hat. "You will be a wonderful Hokage one day, just like Minato before you."

Sasuke: You know that I am from the Uchiha clan and yet you want to challenge me. You must be crazier than you look, if that were possible.

"That's for sure." Sero said. "That kid has a couple of screws missing."

"That boy is almost as crazy as Monoma." Sato said.

"Hey! What did you say? How dare you…" Monoma was going to continue before Kendo hit him.

"I apologize in his sake." Kendo said.

Sasuke: Do you want to know more about my clan? I'll teach you, the hard way.

The audience is tense because they know that the confrontation between the two is inevitable and also Lee has provoked Sasuke's wrath.

"I don't really envy Lee right now." Mineta said scared. "Especially now that he has incurred the wrath of Emo."

Rock Lee: Go ahead. I'll be the winner in this fight with the number one rookie, I will make him reveal his technique and I will prove myself to you Guy-sensei.

"Apparently Lee admires his sensei a lot." Midoriya observed, surprised to notice this fact and reminding him to a certain extent of his own admiration for All Might.

Naruto: Wait! [Sakura looked at him surprised and Sasuke looked at him out of the corner of his eye.] I'll take care of it first, this phenomenon is mine.

The audience is surprised to see Naruto's reaction.

"That is really a bad idea." Komori said worried.

"Though it shouldn't surprise us." Yanagi said. "At least he challenged this guy and not the scary guy from before."

"Yeah." Awase said scared as he remembered Gaara. "That boy is very scary."

Sakura: Naruto.

Sasuke: Go ahead.

Naruto: Heh. I'll take two minutes until he begs me for mercy.

"It's good to see that he has confidence in himself, but now he is the one who is underestimating his opponents." Aizawa said worriedly upon seeing this.

"That's never good." Kushina said worriedly, although she recognizes that she, like her son, used to rush and that led her to underestimate the strength of her opponents.

"And from what we've seen of Lee so far, he's at least moderately competent." Midoriya said, while writing down in his notebook.

Rock Lee: No, thank you very much. For now I just want to face Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto: Oh yeah! Well I have news for you! [Starting to run towards Lee.] Sasuke doesn't compare to me, I'll show you! [Naruto threw a punch with his fist, but Lee touched Naruto's fist, deflecting it, Naruto grabbed the ground and kicked him.]

Rock Lee: Blade Swirl. [Lee crouched down and hit Naruto's hand where he had placed his hand, causing it to spin into the wall.]

The audience was surprised to see the ease with which Lee had defeated Naruto.

"Whoa!" Several exclaimed, astonished at what they had just seen.

"H…he defeated him in less than 5 seconds!" Katsuma exclaimed, surprised by Naruto's defeat in record time.

"And if that wasn't enough, that weird guy made Naruto look like a fool." Mahoro said.

"And it's pretty fast too." Iida said impressed by Lee's speed. "This guy is definitely not someone who should be underestimated." The rest of the audience nods in agreement with this.

"I can't wait to see his face when he sees Lee's true speed." Felicity thought, amused, imagining everyone's reaction, especially Iida's.

Sasuke: Whao, he is better than it looks.

Rock Lee: Face it Uchiha, you have no chance against me, your skills are inferior. And you know one thing? After the great Genin, I am the best, face me and I will show you.

"I highly doubt that." Kendo commented with confidence upon hearing Lee's claim to be the strongest genin present.

"I mean it could be true." Yaoyorozu said. "Or maybe he's just bragging."

"Be that as it may, now he will face Sasuke." Midoriya said. "At least then we can see more of his abilities and power."

"Especially because now his rival will be the best student in his class and he also has the Sharingan." Asui said.

"This fight will certainly be very interesting." All for One thought, excited at the prospect of seeing Sasuke's Sharingan in action and intrigued by Lee's abilities.

Sasuke: Hmp, this will be fun, let's do it. [He smiled at Sakura's worried look. Sakura looked at a clock on the wall, checking the time.]

"This really is a bad idea." Iida said worriedly. "Especially considering the fact that they should sign up for the exams and not waste their time on such nonsense!" He exclaimed making a robotic cut.

"It's really very irresponsible of them." Shoda said. "Not to mention they might get in trouble for it."

Sakura: There is no time Sasuke, we have to register before three and we have less than half an hour left!

Sasuke: Don't worry, this will be over in five seconds.

"Sasuke has to learn not to underestimate his opponents." Aizawa said sighing. "That could really cost him dearly in the future."

"Especially seeing what Lee did to Naruto." Midnight said. "He should have realized by now that he is not an enemy to underestimate."

On the other hand, the rest of the audience are really excited by the fight between Sasuke and Lee and can't help but wonder who of the two will win.

[Sasuke started running in the direction Lee was.]

Rock Lee: here it comes! Forgive me Guy-sensei but I have to break the rules and use this jutsu! [Sasuke threw a punch at him, but Lee disappeared, appearing above him] Leaf Hurricane. [Lee launched a kick, but Sasuke ducked, avoiding it, Lee placed his hands on the ground, spinning and launched a kick at Sasuke.]

Sasuke: I'm not moving fast enough, I have to block him. [Sasuke put his arms in front of him, Lee had made a hand seal, much to his surprise. Lee had kicked Sasuke, hitting him in the face.]

The audience is left in a state of total shock and was left speechless when they saw how Lee easily dominates Sasuke.

"I- impressive..." Shoji said surprised at what he is seeing.

"That boy really is fast... And his technique is also very good."

Iida gulped surprised again at Lee's speed.

"Y-yeah." Midoriya said as he looks at Lee in wonder, then he rushes to write down everything he sees about Lee's techniques, wishing he could learn some tricks from him that would allow him to take full advantage of the power of One for All.

"Those are actually very good techniques that young Lee has mastered." All Might said impressed. "It combines speed and technique in an impressive way."

"Ha! What were you saying emo!? That you would defeat him in 5 seconds? Haha!" Mineta gloated upon seeing Sasuke's humiliation.

Sakura: [Worried] Sasuke! [Sasuke was thrown backwards by the kick and landed on the floor.]

"W- will he be okay?" Eri asked worried about Sasuke.

"Yes Eri." Mirio said reassuringly. "I'm sure he's going to be fine."

"The worst thing that will happen to him is that his ego will be crushed." Mineta smugged which caused Jiro to hit him with her Earphone Jack.

Sasuke: What's the ...? [Sasuke got up from the ground.]

Sakura: He had his guard up, but Lee was able to get through his.

Sasuke: He's using some technique against me, but what is it? A ninjutsu or a Genjutsu?

"That's actually a good question." Midoriya said, extremely interested in Lee's skills. "What kind of technique is he using exactly? Because before he had said that he had high quality chakra in his arm and…"

"Enough Deku! Stop rambling! It's really annoying and irritating!" Bakugo exclaimed.

"And pretty weird and creepy to be honest" Kaminari said.

"Sorry!" Midoriya squeaked embarrassed, her cheeks tinting read.

Lee: As I expected. Came back for more?

Sasuke: Hmph, how lucky. I have it right where I wanted it. I had been waiting to try this.

The audience got excited for what they will see next.

"Is he going to do what I think he is going to do?" Iida said with anticipation.

"Yes, definitely." Kendo said. "The moment has arrived."

"Finally!" Bakugo exclaimed. "Now this fight getting serious!"

"We will see the Sharingan in action!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly like the rest of the audience.

"And we will also see through the Sharingan whatever Lee is doing." Midoriya said excited by this fact.

"This is certainly going to be exciting." All for One thought, excited by the idea of seeing the Sharingan in action and in addition to that seeing what kind of abilities Lee has.

Sakura: Could it be? [Sakura looked at him surprised to see that Sasuke had the Sharingan] The Sharingan! Where did you learn it? His eyes are on both of them.

Lee: So that's the Sharingan.

"Oh yeah!" Several exclaim when they see the Sharingan.

"Though I'm surprised Sakura doesn't know." Tsuntori said. "Considering that Sasuke is an Uchiha and activated it on his mission in the Land of Waves."

"She probably didn't see it in action and Sasuke didn't tell her." Yanagi said, to which several nodded in agreement.

"Although on the other hand Lee does seem to know about the Sharingan." Midoriya said thoughtfully.

"The music, on the other hand, is spectacular." Jiro said. "It really is appropriate for a fight like this."

Sakura: You never know what Sasuke will do next, it's surprising, if it's like Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan he could read that boy's Jutsus and beat him with ease.

The audience watches expectantly at the prospect of what will happen next.

Sasuke: Genjutsu or Ninjutsu, whatever he is using, I will see it now. [Sasuke ran towards Lee again.]

Sakura: Sasuke is getting stronger every day, as expected of an Uchiha. Sasuke would never lose to a boy like this. [Lee had kicked him in the face, much to his surprise.]

The audience is surprised once again to see how Lee manages to surpass Sasuke despite the Sharingan.

"Well, it looks like he's going to lose." Eri said.

"While it is true that Sasuke has grown quite strong, he still has a lot of growing to do." Midnight said.

Sasuke: He was able to get around my guard again, but how? What kind of jutsu is that?

"That is what I want to know." Midoriya said interested. "What are you doing?"

"I hope it will be revealed soon." Yaoyorozu also said with interest.

Lee: You see, my technique is not Ninjutsu or Genjutsu! [Lee ran up to Sasuke, kicking and punching him while Sasuke tried to dodge his blows.]

[Lee striked him in the stomach with his elbow while Sasuke clutched his stomach with a pained expression.]

Lee: I'm using Taijutsu which means there's no trick, Sasuke Uchiha. [Lee disappeared and appeared behind Sasuke, surprising him.] It's just martial arts, nothing more.

This revelation greatly surprised the audience.

"W…what!?" Several people exclaimed, very surprised.

"He only uses martial arts!?" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise.

"So it seems." Rin said surprised too. "Because he looks like Bruce Lee, I expected him to be good at martial arts, but I believed that in addition to that he was using some other technique."

"Apparently not." Ojiro said. "It's just martial arts with nothing else involved."

"So that guy…" Bakugo said looking at Lee in surprise. "Has no powers?"

"You will see more information about him later, although yes Bakugo, you are not completely wrong." Felicity said to the surprise of Bakugo and Midoriya who wrote down this new information in his notebook.

Sasuke: You are a... [Sasuke tried to hit him, but Lee jumped back.]

Lee: I already know your technique. Forget it, it won't work on me. I know you can see through your opponents' jutsu. That Sharingan gives you the ability to read the Chakra and define hand positions and movements. You can guess what an enemy is going to do almost before they knows it themselves, the problem is that Taijutsu is a little different!

Sasuke: Yes, and what do you want to get at?

Lee: I don't try to hide and disguise my movements. I don't have the need. Even if you can read it, you can't stop them, you are too slow! Your eyes can be fast enough to be one step ahead of me, but if your body doesn't cooperate it's of no use! [Sasuke groaned when he heard it.]

The audience is surprised and shocked to see this.

"Oh, so speed attacks can affect a Sharingan user." Iida summarized.

Midoriya writes down this information. "Although the Sharingan can sense an opponent's next move, if the opponent manages to surpass the speed of the Sharingan user it will be useless as they will not be able to avoid the attack."

"That is actually a good basis for being able to confront the Sharingan users in the Danger Room." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "Although we are going to have to be very careful when facing them now that they know about us."

Several looked at Midoriya who felt somewhat uncomfortable about this.

Lee: Do you know something? I believe one thing. There are two different kinds of ninja, those like you who were born with a talent and don't have to work for it. [Sasuke ran back to Lee.] And those like me who have to train and work on it throughout their lives!

The audience is surprised to hear these words from Lee.

"What does he mean by that?" Ashido asked confused.
