at the tower, in the middle of the forest of death.
after team 7 plus kabuto registred their arrival and finishing the second stage of the shunin exam, they finally met kakashi who congratulated them on their succes.
but at the same time he noticed the different air on everyone.
'that's just part of the exam' he thought.
"alright you still have a day before the second stage of the exam finishes, go and rest" kakashi said.
sasuke just wenr on his way, he wasn't in the mood to talk right now, what he experiences with orochimaru and the curse mark still held all his mind.
sakura just followed him while naruto stayed behind and ooked at kakashi, of course he was seeing kakashi's stats.
[hataki kakashi: elite jonin
special stat: holder of obito's sharingan]
'obito? who is that, it he the original ownee of the sharingan?' naruto thought.
"what are you waiting for naruto?" kakashi asked.
"ah, kakashi sensei, can i ask you something?"
"sure" kakashi replied.
"who is orochimaru?" naruto finally spoke his mine, this question was in his mind sinse he saw sasuke's satuts.
but kakashi suddenly became serious.
" how do you know that name, and why are you asking about him"
" i just heard some people talk about him and got curious" naruto made an excuse.
"i see, he was originally one of the legendary sanin of konoha, alongside witg jiraya sama and tsunade sama, but he is defected a'd forbidden to enter konoha now" kakashi replied.
'forbidden to enter konoha? then how come sasuke got cursed by him?' naruto thought but didn't say it out loud.
"i see, thanks kakashi sensei" naruto thanked him and went his way.
when naruto reached an isolated place, he finally looked at his stats again.
[ naruto uzumaki: chonin
strengh: chonin 17%
speed: chonin 2%
chakra: jonin 81%
vitality: jonin 51%
chakra control: genin 70%
special status: kyuubi jinchuriki]
naruto looked happily at his stats, his strengh and speed reached the chonin level and his chakra control was advanced the most out of all his stats, maybe it was the weakest, after all it barely reached the genin leve' before.
along with his increased chakra control he felt he got more inteligent as well, and could process things better,
"so that's why sakura chan has good chakra control, because she is smart?" naruto theorised.
but the most important thing is "my evaluation is finallt at chonin haha finallt sasuke is no longer the only one at chonin level".
[ speed +0.2%]
another notification popped up, that's right, before they reached the towee naruto left 500 clones outside to fish for him, of course thet all used transformation jutsu so people don't know his identity.
with this naruto went to sleep...
finallt the day of the third stage came, ot was random one vs one fights and the winner advances tp the final stage.
naruto was more excited like never before, especially after the increse in his power recently, he felt he could take on anyone
naruto was examining the othee participants.
[rock lee: genin
special status: taijutsi specialist]
[niji hyuuga: chonin
special status: hyuuga restraining mark]
[gaara: jonin
special status: one tails jinchuriki]
"what?"
naruto kept looking at gaara for a long time.
[ it's saying he is a jinchuriki too? what on tye hokage is that? i need to ask kakashi sensei later"
after a while naruto continued to look at othee people examining them until suddenly he froze when his eyes got on someone, the teacher of the sound team.
[orochimaru: kage
special status: none]
