Chapter 12 - Karin and Anko (1)

Naruto walked towards Training Ground 44, a little ahead of his teammates as he did so.

Something had been bugging him recently but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. It was like someone was watching him, and despite his impressive sneaking skills, whoever it was, continued to follow him. It was irritating to no end.

He briefly reflected upon the first Exam. While he hadn't been able to figure out how to cheat without getting caught, he did figure out the purpose of the exam. At the end, again he figured out the purpose of the last question and only did he help everyone out when Sakura had been about to give up.

Other smaller details he noticed where more from a possible sexual stand-point. The Oto Nin had eyed him like a piece of steak, a hopeful gleam in her eye before it was killed. Hinata had been blushing even more so than usual and fidgeting in her seat a bit. Naruto was able to notice she was rubbing her thighs together. Ino had taken one look at him and had a brief dusting of red across her face before she noticed Sasuke.

He had his book out, briefly flipping through the pages. He checked a few things, noticing several of the girls taking the Chunin Exams were in his book. If he really wanted to, he could have a whole lot of fun.

He stopped at a redhead girl with glasses and tapped on the picture. "Karin Uzumaki. Allegiance: Kusa. Rank: Genin." Naruto didn't pay much more attention past that. There was another Uzumaki here. A kin that was still alive. He would have to send his Shadow Clones out to find her.

At the training ground, Naruto looked at the fence that had warnings plastered all over it as he put his book away. "And we're going in there." He said more to himself than anything.

"Alright then Brats, Listen up!" Anko called from atop the fence. "Welcome to Training Ground 44; or as most Shinobi like to call it: The Forest of Death!" she yelled out. "Here it is that you will be pitted against each other in order to get these two scrolls!" she pulled the scrolls from a trench coat pocket and held them up for the Genin to see.

Naruto narrowed his eyes on the scrolls as he watched the Special Jonin return the scrolls to her pockets. So that's what he had been training for…to pick pocket those scrolls at the very least.

Time to act the idiot. "The forest doesn't look too tough; it will literally be a walk in the park." Naruto boasted.

A kunai sliced through his cheek, fairly deeply. He felt an ample pair of breasts press into his back, and by his humble opinion they felt like D-cups. He felt a tongue slide along his cheek. "Such tasty blood, the brave ones are usually the first to die in my forest." Anko said in a sultry tone.

Naruto slid his hands into Anko's trench coat and withdrew the two scrolls. As stealthy as he could, he slipped them into the pockets of his jumpsuit pants. "I can't die yet." He said as he was doing this. "I haven't become Hokage yet." He said feeling Anko rub her breasts more against his back.

"Hokage huh?" Anko asked. "Well Mr. Future Hokage-sama, you make it to the tower with time to spare and I'll give you a present." She then moved away and began to explain the rest of the exam. Get to the tower, five days; find your own food/water, etc.

Naruto signed the release form and turned them in, getting a scroll in the process. He might give it away if he saw fit to do so. He already had his team's scrolls and hadn't been called out about it yet.

Naruto went back over to his teammates and went with them to the starting gate. It wasn't long before they ran inside and leapt up into the trees where he stopped. "Guys!" he called out and motioned them over.

"What is it Dobe?" Sasuke asked. "We need to get the scrolls as fast as we can."

"Sasuke-kun's right." Sakura said tapping her foot impatiently.

Naruto produced the two scrolls he picked off of Anko. "As a Shinobi, we kill, we lie, we cheat, and we steal. That is our job essentially. If we get to the tower fast enough and they pass us, at least you two will go on if they decide to disqualify me."

Sasuke and Sakura stared dumbfounded. "But…when-The Proctor, when she was rubbing on you." Sasuke said piecing everything together. "You got her to attack you."

"Yeah that just about sums it up." Naruto said. "She seemed like the impulsive type like me, I just had enough skills to pull that off. So let's get to the tower." Naruto put his hands together in a familiar cross shaped hand sign before summoning up 90 Shadow Clones. Sixty of them performed a Transformation Jutsu looking like Sakura and Sasuke before splitting up in groups of three in separate directions. Naruto discreetly passed off their Heaven Scroll to one of the clones before he went with the real Sasuke and Sakura straight for the tower with all haste.

Little did he know that he had just unknowingly thwarted a Snake Sannin's plans and made a very pissed off enemy.

One group of clones veered off, blindly moving about as they hopped from tree to tree. The Naruto looking clone paused as they ran; he thought he had heard someone screaming. That sound was followed by the sound of a bear growling or roaring.
