"Anko!, Finally you're he-Ahh, Excuse me, Lord Hokage, I was not aware that you were here" One of the proctors for the Chunin Exams for the Second Stage came by pushing the door rashly as he had something important to show her but as he saw Hiruzen, He retreated and tried to leave
"Stop, Speak, what is so important?" Anko asked which made him stay and he told her to come with him to the Video Surveillance Room, Hiruzen also got curious and followed them to the Surveillance Room to see what all the fuss about
"See, This is the Recording of Half-Hour Ago, See this" The proctor started the recording which showed Three Genin's from the Hidden Sand Village, Seeing this everyone were shocked, The Ninja's from the Sand completed the Second Stage of Chunin Exam in 1 Hour 37 Minutes
"It's been 2 Hour and 7 Minutes since the Exam started and they finished it Half an Hour Ago, They've finished the Exam too early" Proctor explained the situation to them, While explaining Hiruzen noticed how Gaara was completely unscathed
"Huh? Anko, Look here" Proctor who brought them to the Surveillance pointed towards another screen that showed live Video of the entrance to this building
"It's Team 7!, How did they get here so quickly" Anko looked towards the screen in disbelief, She knew the ways of Forest of Death very well, So it was easy for her to get here this quickly but Team 7 was not in any condition to pass the Exam so quickly, Naturally she suspected that Team 7 had abstained since Naruto was carrying Sasuke on his back
She ran out of the Surveillance Room followed by Hiruzen to the Entrance
.
"Naruto! How's Sasuke?" Seeing Anko dashing towards them Naruto put Sasuke on the ground and showed the Curse Mark to them, Sakura also sat near Sasuke and started explaining his condition, She while Naruto was fighting/interrogating the Sound Village Ninja's kept a close eye on Sasuke as his condition seems to be worsening, That was why she insisted Naruto to complete this exam quickly so they can get someone to look at Sasuke's condition
From that trunk tree Naruto and Sakura ran straight while avoiding all the potential threats that Naruto could spot easily, All while keeping Sasuke in his Shadow, He just before getting near the Building pulled Sasuke out of the Shadow not only to avoid questions, But also because he nearly ran out of his other 'Blue' energy
.
Hiruzen took Sasuke with him as he was familiar with Curse Mark and knew how to suppress it to some extent, Anko stayed and looked toward Naruto
"You made the right decision of not caring about the exam and rushing straight to here, Don't worry since you guys are young there will be many chances for Chunin Exams, Don't fe-" Anko felt bad for Naruto as he without a doubt qualifies to be a Chunin so failing the Exams now would be such a waste but she did not show it and tried to cheer them up, Even it cheering anyone up is not her strong suite
"Who said we gave up?" Naruto while hearing to Anko didn't let her finish and showed her the Heaven and Earth Scrolls with a cheeky smile
"You guys collected Scroll as well?" Anko could not believe that they could even think about the Exam after what they went through but she was clearly wrong, They finished the Second Stage of Chunin Exam in just 2 Hour and 8 Minutes which was second to that of the Sand Village, But they did not face a S-Rank Rogue Ninja like Team 7 which made her feel quite impressed with them
"Yep, Don't you remember when we met in the Forest, I got the scroll from that red-haired girl" She remembered that Naruto indeed got the scroll that time, All this ruckus made her lose focus of things which she saw with her own eyes
She did not say much and led them to the waiting room, But Naruto and Sakura did not accept that and chose to follow her to see Sasuke's condition, They did not know what could happen to Sasuke since he had been bitten by a Humanoid-Reptile what kind of effect it would bring or if his life is in threat, They had many speculations but what had actually could only be known by being by his side

2 Days Later
In the Forest of Death
"Man, He went real crazy on them, Didn't he?" Said a boy with a Ponytail as he started pulling Kunai from a fainted Dosu Hand and both Legs, Before leaving, Naruto stabbed all three of the Sound Ninjas that had attacked them
Normally Naruto would've only knocked them out and would've left but these Ninja were specially there to kill Sasuke which Naruto understood so he did not leave without giving them enough pain to take that as a threat and not approach them ever again
"Yeah, For a while I thought he was gonna kill these guys" A Blonde girl said as she had shivers run through her back when she saw her teammates pulling Kunai out of the Sound Shinobi's
"Well, Now we have their Scroll, Let's finish the Exam or we might encounter something scarier than them" Said another boy who was a little chubby and was having a snack
This was Team 10 which consisted of Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka, These three were also the 16th generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio
Two days ago while running and hiding from the strong teams they stumbled upon a sight that horrified them, Naruto was torturing a Sound Ninja who was screaming while answering Naruto's question at the same time, Begging him to stop but those words fell on deaf ears as Naruto only increased the intensity of stabs
After Naruto got his answers he went inside the tree trunk and got out with Sakura while Sasuke was nowhere to be seen, Naruto removed his sword from the hand of Sound Ninja which made them think that this horrific sight is finally going to stop but what happened was that Naruto shoved Kunai in the Hand and the Legs of the Sound Ninja's and with that only Dosu and Kin screamed as this pain wake her up, Zaku on the other hand was at the brink of death because of the blood loss
Team 10 did not move from that spot for 2 Days to wait for the Sound Ninja to faint so they could get their scrolls
