Now that he knew what was going on, Naruto looked over at the two 'Genin' who were guarding the door more closely, If this is a genjutsu then those two must be Chunin who are supposed to keep the unworthy from passing. Now that I look at them they do remind me of Kotetsu and Izumo so they must be under henge, He snorted, what a lame ass henge; they didn't even change their appearance just their age. Idiots…
With that sorted out in his mind the whiskered blond began to walk on, ignoring the conversation that was going on at the door.
"C'mon, let us through!" One of the Genin in the hallway yelled.
"Psh…you think we're going to let you through just because you tell us too? People die in these exams and those who don't sometimes quit being a shinobi all together simply because of the mental and emotional trauma they go through," The Henge'd Kotetsu said, "Really, we're doing you guys a favor."
"Please let us through."
Naruto stopped just as he was about to reach the exit to the next set of stairs when he heard the familiar voice, turning around he focused his attention on a familiar brown-haired girl. Tenten? I should have known her team would be in these exams, they have a year's worth of experience over me and their sensei is a training nut after all.
"Didn't you hear me," Kotetsu said as he reared his fist back. "I said get lost!" He threw his fist at Tenten. However before it could hit Naruto intercepted it.
"Now that's not very nice," Naruto said with a slight grin, a grin that made Kotetsu and Izumo actually shiver as it reminded them of Anko when she was looking for blood. Or that one time Izumo had knocked her over while eating dango, it was a particularly traumatizing memory that they did not want to recall.
Internally grinning at the way they shivered, and mentally thanking Anko the spiky haired blond continued, "Didn't your mother teach you not to hit a lady?"
"Hmph! We were just doing her a favor," Izumo replied, trying to regain his bravado. "I suggest you heed our advice, this exam isn't for something just anyone can take and hope to survive."
Naruto smirked as he let go of Kotetsu's hand, "Don't worry, I was just looking for my friend who you were about to hit by the way."
The blond Konoha shinobi turned around to look at Tenten and winked, "Yo! I was looking all over the place for you Tenten!"
He turned her around and wrapped an arm over her shoulder, leading her to where he saw Neji. When they had gone a certain distance away, Naruto leaned in and whispered into her ear, "You do realize that this is the second floor right?"
Tenten looked at him strangely, "The second floor? But that door said…" Her eyes widened a bit as she remembered going up only two flights of stairs. She turned a glare on Neji, "Why didn't you tell me we were only on the second floor!"
Neji shrugged, "I did not deem it necessary."
Tenten scowled a bit while Naruto rolled his eyes, "You know, you sure treat your teammates like shit. Has anyone ever told you that you're a douchebag?"
Neji's eyes narrowed at Naruto, and veins began to pulse around his eyes as he activated his Byakugan in an effort to enhance his glare. The two of them had never gotten along; Naruto was a lot more like Lee, believing that hard work can overcome anything, including genius. While Neji believed everything was controlled by fate and had gone out of his way to inform the blond on the error of his ways on many occasions. Needless to say whenever the blond would come and train with team nine the two would always butt heads.
"Oi! Drop the genjutsu and let us pass!"
The pair both turned around to see Sasuke standing there with a smirk on his features as he looked at the two disguised Chunin at the door, "Sakura noticed it the moment we got here. Isn't that right Sakura?"
Despite being surprised by the raven-haired Genin's words, Sakura became ecstatic that her Sasuke-kun was involving her in something. She nodded her head and immediately backed him up, "Yeah, that's right! We're only on the second floor. It's so obvious even a child could see through it."
Naruto groaned as the pair made asses of themselves, even he could tell this was supposed to weed out the losers who would not even stand a chance in the exams. Seriously, how was he the dead last when there were people like that?
Sasuke at least should have known…
Naruto sighed and tried to control the irritation he was feeling. While he did not like Sasuke in anyway and enjoyed making fun of him every chance he got, he would at least acknowledge that his teammate was intelligent. However, sometimes the Uchiha heir was just a pain in the ass especially when he tried to show off like he was now.
"So you noticed it did you?" Kotetsu smirked as the genjutsu on the door was dispelled, revealing it to be the second floor, "Impressive. But just because you saw through it, doesn't mean you good enough to enter!" Kotetsu launched a kick at Sasuke who retaliated with a kick from the opposing leg.
However both kicks were caught by the green blur that was Lee, who managed to catch both their legs with just one hand.
"Now is not the time to be fighting," The green clad Genin said in a calm voice, releasing their legs.
That guy caught both our legs like it was nothing, Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he looked at the green clad Genin; he must have some serious chakra in his hands.
"Way to go and make an ass of yourself teme," Naruto said as he made his way over to them. "I can't believe you actually let all these people pass. Now we're going to have to content with a bunch of losers who couldn't even see through a simple genjutsu."
Sasuke scowled at the insult. However, being an Uchiha he did not deign to give Naruto a response other than his standard grunt, "Hn."
"Lee, what happened to disguising our strength. I thought that was your idea," Neji said with a frown. "Wasn't that the plan we agreed on?"
"Yes but…" Lee turned his attention to Sakura and blushed.
Oh boy here it comes, thought Naruto as he resisted the urge to snicker.
"You are Sakura-san yes?" asked Lee as he appeared in front of her.
"Umm…yeah," Sakura replied, taking a step back from the creepy spandex wearing Genin.
"I am Rock Lee. Let's go out sometime, I will protect you with my life," Lee gave the pinkette the nice guy pose complete with gleaming teeth and wink.
