Ten minutes later.
"This is a terrible idea." Kakashi mumbled with a potato sack on his head.
Standing inside a grassy grove in the forest, Kakashi was surrounded by Guy, Asuma, Ebisu and Kurenai. All of them carried a potato sack as well. These garments had poorly cut holes over their eyes.
"I won the duel! So I make the rules!" Guy chuckled with a enlightening laugh.
"It was a game of rock-paper-scissiors! Stop treating it like some grand accomplishment already." Asuma cut in.
"Kakashi said we can't be serious! So, I've turned my belt around." Guy tapped the reversed headband on his waist.
"I can't believe I got dragged into this..." Ebisu groaned, wearing glasses over his potato sack.
"Do you do with your students?" Kurenai asked curiously, earning a dramatic thumbs up from Guy.
"I don't think this plan will work..." Ebisu sighed, an old Genin teammate for Guy.
Defined by his pearl white teeth, Guy's smile sparkled from under his sack, erupting into a swirl of leaves. Trailed by Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai and Ebisu, these disguised Jounin rushed towards Naruto's house.
Five minutes later.
Battered by a chakra-filled torrent of flames, a disguised Guy dispersed this attack with one kick. The result of Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu, Sasuke was standing atop Naruto's back porch.
"Ooh!" Guy huffed with a comedic tone, shaking his masked face from side-to-side. Biting in lip in response, Sasuke hurled a barrage of shuriken through the air, easily dodged by Guy.
As team 8 and team 10 were standing in the background, Naruto and Sakura rushed out from the kitchen. Instead of explaining his actions, Sasuke unsheathed his grass-cutter blade, lunging forward.
Leaping onto his palms, Guy caught Sasuke's blade between his feet, shocking all in attendance. Twirling forward, Guy was abruptly overwhelmed by an unseen force, flinging him into a distant tree.
"Are you alright?!" Rushing to his friend, Naruto gripped Sasuke's shoulder.
Without warning, a disguised Ebisu, Kurenai and Asuma all sprang into sight, jumping from the tree-line. Fueled by this realization, Naruto hastily weaved through an array of hand seals.
"Water style: Hidden mist Jutsu!" Muffled by his own mist, Naruto obscured everything from sight.
This kid can use Water style? Asuma and Kurenai thought in unison.
I would expect nothing less from someone Lee's close friend. Guy concluded, daring someone to attack him.
"Impossible..." Ebisu stuttered in disbelief, tripping over a rock.
Startled by a flock of kunai, Guy tilted his face to the side, gazing at these blade as they passed. Empowered by his Kage-level Taijutsu, Guy's eyes shot in all directions, examining his surroundings.
A blind attack? Guy pondered, gasping as a bundle of explosive tags came into view.
Spewing an explosion of flames, smoke and debris through the air, Guy preformed various backflips across the ground. Drawing attention to the singed fabric of his outfit, Guy narrowly avoided this attack.
"You're gonna have to do better! Heh!" Guy let out with excitement.
"Leaf Hurricane!" Screeching the same words as Lee, Naruto flung his shin against Guy.
Perfectly blocking this arm with his forearm, Guy grinned Naruto's ankle before smiling under his mask. Afterwards, this smile morphed to panic as Naruto dissolved into chakra-filled water.
"What?!" Guy cursed his luck in that very moment.
"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" As Naruto's voice polluted the air, dense mist swirled across Guy's face.
Ensnaring Asuma, Kurenai and Ebisu with a clone, Naruto trapped each of these Jounin under his technique. However, Guy leapt free at the last moment, a vast display of his high-level Taijtutsu.
Hovering through the air, Guy twitched as several dozen senbon ruptured out from the mist. Soaring towards Guy, these senbon were hurled by a distant Sakura.
Twirling in midair, Guy deflected these projectiles with a single kick before landing on the ground. At the same time, the sound of clasping hands rang out, forcing Guy to tense.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Beast! Water Style: Water Dragon!" As Naruto and Sasuke spoke in unison, Guy's narrowed both eyes.
Piercing the dense mist, a pulsating hound of blue lightning charged out from Sasuke's static-filled hand. Also, a swirling vortex of water loomed over the horizon, shaped like a gigantic dragon.
This just got serious... Guy internally panicked.
"1st Gate! Gate of Opening! Open!" Shrieking these words, the veins of Guy's neck began to bulge and throb.
Fueled by a sudden burst of vigor, Guy leapt over Sasuke's static technique, avoiding the barking dog. Hovering through the air, Guy was confronted by Naruto's water dragon.
"2nd Gate! Gate of Healing! Open!" Shouting without breath, green chakra radiated out from Guy.
Kicking the air, Guy flipped and twirled backwards, landing atop the ground with a heavy thud. Sinking to his knees, Guy found himself trapped in quick sand, pulling before the ground.
"Earth Style: Hiding like a Mole Jutsu..." The bored voice of Kakashi hummed in an underground cave, freshly made by himself.
"What's going on here?! Why weren't testing your students?" Guy questioned.
"My sack only had one-eye hole, they would easily notice it's me..." Kakashi sighed.
Nodding his head with agreement, Guy brushed the dirt from his outfit before jumping up. Tapping his feet with delay, Kakashi forced the earth to rise, peering out from the ground.
"Okay, okay... Naruto, you can drop the mist now." Raising his hand through the air, Kakashi pulled his orange book into sight.
Inspired by Kakashi's voice, the previous cloud of mist completely dissipated. Revealing a trapped Asuma, Kurenai and Ebisu, these disguised Jounin were all trapped in swirling water.
"Gather around, all of you, we have something to discuss." Rubbing his head, Kakashi was surrounded by team 7, team 8 and team 10.
Five minutes later.
"The Chunin exams? Are you sure we're ready?" Ino stuttered with a downcast face.
Teasing her childhood rival, Sakura poked her mischievous face over Ino's shoulder. Defined by her emerald green eyes, Sakura's pink hair was pressed against Ino's face.
"You aren't scared, are you?" Sakura asked, devolving into a fierce shouting contest with Ino.
"Whatever, we'll be fine, we always are." Sasuke scoffed with both hands on his head.
Shikamaru sighed while Choji continued to eat his potato chips without a single pause.
"This is going to be such a drag." Shikamaru complained.
"Where is it? Huh?!" Kiba snarled out, eager to show his skill.
"Whoever wants to take the exams, sign this appilcation and come to room 301 at the Academy..." Kakashi explained.
Handing the stack of papers to Naruto, Kakashi used to free head to read, shuffling through the pages. Caught off guard by a sudden blush on his concealed face, Kakashi raised this book to his nose.
"It's in one week." Without another word, Kakashi, Ebisu, Asuma, Kurenai and Guy all erupted into a puff of smoke
Three days later.
"Come on! It's not that big of a deal." Jiraiya pleaded, characterized by waist-length spiky white hair.
Running across the steam-filled outline of a spa, Jiraiya was being chased by dozens of half-naked women. Clapping the earth with his ornate wooden sandals, Jiraiya's face was framed by shoulder-length bangs.
Painted across each cheek in a vertical fashion, Jiraiya had a pair of red-lines running down his face. Contrasting the horned headband he wore, the kanji for 'Oil' was engraved into this metal.
As Jiraiya ran for safety, his wild hair brushed against the large scroll on the back of his waist. Dressed in a waist-length green kimono with matching pants, this attire was held in place by the red haroi on Jiraiya's chest.
Underneath this, Jiraiya wore an array of mesh armor, sprawled over his bare chest, wrists and ankles. Adorned with a pair of green-tinted handguards, this metal was the same tone as Jiraiya's kimono.
Draped around his waist, a traditional black belt was put on ful display, exposing the Uzumaki tattoo on Jiraiya's left palm. One of the elite Sanin, Jiraiya regularly used his shinobi skill to spy on naked girls.
"You can't just stare at us and not be punished!" A brown-haired girl shrieked in complaint, dripping water from her body.
"Yea! You old pervert! Who do you think you are?" A half-naked blond asked, forcing Jiraiya to freeze mid-step.
"Your beautiful bodies have earned you the right to know my name." Jiraiya proclaimed
"Known throughout the north, east, west and south... Loved by the youngest of ladies..." As Jiraiya spoke, he danced across the road.
"The tears of blood on my face are overflowing with the burning desire of love!" Squealing with a dramatic tone, Jiraiya clapped both hands together.
"I've gone from Sanin to sage! I am the hermit sage of Mount Myōboku! I am master Jirai-?!" Freezing mid-sentence, this shinobi noticed a flying fire hawk overhead.
Without pause, Jiraiya erupted into a puff of smoke, forcing his half-naked hunters to howl with contempt. But, none of them realization how much inspiration Jiraiya had just acquired.
Meanwhile.
Jiraiya rubbed his tense face with one hand. Shrouded by the shadow of an overcast fire hawk, this bird soon landed beside Jiraiya.
"That was close, some ladies just don't appreciation my work." Jiraiya sighed, pulling the sealed scroll from this hawk.
Humming with interest, Jiraiya hastily sped through this scribbled note, hand-written by Hiruzen. Ordering Jiraiya to return him, this aged Sanin chuckled in reply, springing up onto both feet.
"The women of Konoha are the most robust of all women..." Motivating himself, Jiraiya swelled with anticipation.
It'll be nice to see everyone again. As these words echoed through Jiraiya's mind, the whiskered memory of Naruto made its way into his thoughts.
