Speech"

'Thought'

'"speech in memory" '

Ibiki handed out random numbers to the genin, I quickly placed my real glasses on before anyone could even notice.

When the numbers where all passed out, the genin were told to sit with the corresponding numbers on the desks. I sat in the far back, I looked to my left only to see Gaia siting nest to me. I noticed a small smile form on her face and I smiled back to her. I glanced to my right to see a different red headed girl sitting there.

She had an Asymmetric hairstyle on her right her hair was disheveled, and then on her left her hair was smoothed out. She had brown glasses, and peculiar magenta colored eyes. She wore a tan jacket and shorts with a mesh shirt under it. I also noticed a grass symbol on her forehead protector.

I turned to face her and gave her as smile, and then she blushed. "I'm Kabuto, what's your name" I asked her.

"K-Karin" she stuttered out, before she quickly turned away with a blush still noticeable on her cheeks and started fiddling with her glasses.

While Ibiki explained the rules for the test and I quickly deduced that we were supposed to cheat. Before any of the chuunin or jonin proctors noticed I passed a note telling the real reason for the test to Gaia. I saw her read it and nodded to me.

'Hmm so many ways I can cheat, or I could just answer the questions.' I looked down to the test and read the questions. 'Huh. there all pretty easy' I thought. I finished the test and noticed a small amount of sand floating around my test and formed an eye. 'So Gaia is cheating off of me, (good guy Kabuto gives a way the answer then gets cheated off of.)' After Gaia finished cheating I flipped my paper over and rested my head down and I slept.

-50 minutes and an uncomfortable nap later-

I jumped a little when I felt some one shake me awake. I looked to my left to see Gaia had shaken me up and looked slightly amused by my reaction. I woke up in time to hear Ibiki's speech about information gathering.

Just as Ibiki finished up his speech a dark blur crashed through the window, while simultaneously launching several kunai pinning a banner; I female figure landed in front of it. She had Black hair with a blue tint to it, which is styled in a short, spiky and fanned in a ponytail. She had brown pupil-less eyes, she wears a tan overcoat, a fitted mesh body suit that starts from her neck down to her thighs, and she also wore an orange mini-skirt.

"Heads up, boys and girls, this is no time to be celebrating! I'll be your next proctor. Anko Mitarashi. You ready for the second test? Good! Then let's go, follow me!" Anko exclaimed, before leaving she sent me a wink. I sighed again 'While being one of Orochimaru's best students she is also one of his craziest. With Anko being 'abandoned' by Orochimaru on one of the Land of the Sea's islands, only to be found with 'amnesia' after she convinced the Hokage that she 'hated' Orochimaru she was given a pardon and was allowed to join the Leaf shinobi force. Now she's a Tokubetsu jonin with high level clearance, higher than any other of Orochimaru's spies in the Hidden Leaf.'

When got up I was quickly joined by my "team" as I walked toward the second test, I noticed the Sand siblings were to my left; well Gaia was, her siblings were fearfully following her. While we walked I asked Gaia generic questions to pass the time, which she answers almost happily. 'I think I'm the only person she actually enjoys conversing with.' I thought idly.

When my team and the Sand siblings arrived, we were able to see a giant forest with barbed wire fences surrounding it. "So this is the infamous "Forest of Death" this will be interesting, and I think you'll like this test Gaia-Chan." I said while glancing at her.

"Oh and what would these weak test do interest me" she asked with her arms crossed and small pout.

"We're allowed to actually kill the other competitors and giant mutated animals in this very forest" I told her casually, and with the maniacal grin on her face she seemed too really like that bit. 'Hmm is it weird to find her evil smile hot?'

I noticed that several of the genin squads missing or haven't showed up yet. So I walked silently over to a shaded tree to and sat, with the Sand siblings following me and with my 'team' off doing whatever the hell they usually do; and I had to repress the sigh and turned to Gaia's siblings. "You guys do know that following me around in broad daylight will attract the wrong attention." I told them simply, they got the hint though; I sure it helped that Gaia glared at them.

'Gaia and I conversed for a bit to past the time. We came to the topic of her dependence on her sand. I offered that after the second test I could help train her. Though she was stubborn I was able to convince her that she needs to expand her abilities to become stronger.' I noticed most of the genin are here and I could sense Orochimaru disguised as some Grass nin, but I couldn't see the proctor anywhere.

I heard several leaves rustle above me, I looked up to see three snakes launched themselves and wrap around me. I didn't really react I knew most snakes don't actively try to harm me, so I shook my head to Gaia to tell her not to attack. I looked down and noticed the snakes had larger chakra capacity than normal snakes; I also noticed that the snakes were hissing apologizes to me. 'So someone ordered them to attack me. So there summons', I repressed a sigh. 'The only people that can summon snakes are Orochimaru, Anko and myself. With Orochimaru disguised about a few hundred feet from my location it can't be him, so that only leaves Anko. ' I felt a weight in my lap I looked down to see Anko's face dangerously close to my face, and I looked further down to see her straddling me.

"Oh Agent-kun did you miss me? Because I defiantly missed you." she purred.

"Anko-san, I don't think three days is really enough time us to miss someone." I told her, and she pouted cutely; weird considering she's older than me.

"Now Kabuto-kun what did I tell you about adding 'san' honorific you can only use 'Chan' or 'Sama'" she told me in all seriousness but still had a Cheshire grin on her face. 'How has anyone not noticed this' I thought.

"My apologizes Anko-san is there a reason why am I tied up, and why are you straddling me" I asked casually her ignoring her pout.

"Kabuto-kun." she whined which I ignored I learned a long time ago to never give her an inch. It took Anko a few second to notice Gaia aiming a glare at her, which she grinned at. "Kabuto-kun, are you cheating on me; and with a younger girl at that." She said with fake anger. "Or are you starting your own little harem" she suggested with a full blown grin. I had to control the small blush that stared to form while I actually thought about the girls that appealed my interest. 'There was Guren, that had a sadistic princess look and personality to her. Gaia has the demonic emotionless Lolita thing going for her, along with a personality to match it. Then there was Anko with a temptress body and had bunch of fun personalities that counteract my dark personality. And all of them are attracted to me hmm maybe I might have unknowingly started my own harem.' I thought to myself. "It's okay Kabuto-kun I don't mind sharing you" she whispered loud enough for Gaia to hear judging by her blush.

With my blush controlled "Anko-'Chan' is there reason for the snakes and this compromising position?" I asked her again

"Oh I just always wanted to this, and so I could give you some new information." She said the first part mischievously then switched to serious in mid-sentence. Now that had my attention, and I nodded to her to continue.

"I heard in the grape vine that, the Gama Sennin(Toad Sage) Jiraiya is on his way to the Village; though his reasons are unknown I think he knows something about the invasion." She informed me.

"I agree, I think Jiraiya has several spies located in Suna and any of them could have informed him. But he won't arrive in time to warn the Hokage before Orochimaru marks Sasuke. The invasion is mostly a distraction, for Orochimaru to test Sasuke and possible tempt him to join Otogakure." I said absently and I trusted Anko and Gaia not to spread that information. "So if you could kindly un-tie me Anko, so I can give Orochimaru the new information. " I asked her. She agreed though she seemed annoyed be it.

When the snakes un-wrapped themselves from me, they bowed their heads and disappeared back into the snake summons world.

I stood up brushed the dirt of my pants and sauntered my way towards Orochimaru disguised as genin, I quickly wrote the new information on a note. While passing Orochimaru I quickly put the note in his pocket, were I knew he would see me place it.

As I walked away I glanced at the disguised Orochimaru to see him finish reading the note. I saw him glance at me and he nodded his head slightly.

I noticed Anko walk up to the front entrance of the "Forest of Death" probably ready to give the rules of the second test. I met up with my team that was near Sasuke's team.

"This place is called the Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why." Anko said with a smile on her face.

I looked to me left to see Naruto doing a shitty Impersonation on Anko. "This place is called the Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why." He said in a high pitched voice while doing a creepy dance. "That kind of threat won't work on me one bit! I'm not scared!" he declared to her.

"Really" Anko said innocently. 'Now Naruto is going to get it' I thought to myself. "You've got a lot of energy." As soon as those words left her mouth she threw a kunai at jonin level speed and appeared behind him. "A kid like you dies at the very beginning" she said as she grabbed his face and brought it closer to her. "Dappled with red blood I like." She was about to taste his blood, when Orochimaru appeared behind her. Holding the kunai Anko threw with his tongue.

"I'm returning your…Kunai Knife" the disguised Orochimaru told her.

"Thank you for taking the trouble." Anko said though she seems annoyed. "But…don't stand behind me, when I'm thirsty for blood. If you don't want a quick death." Anko said as she collected her kunai.

"Well it's my nature to act up at the sight of red blood. And my precious hair was cut, so I got excited...I'm sorry" Orochimaru said as he walked away.

"Evidently, we've got a lot of hot-blooded kids this time." Anko said with a grin. "This will be fun" she said as she walked back to the front.

"Well. Before we start the second test, I have to pass this out to you!" Anko stated as she pulled a stack of papers. 'huh? I wonder Anko kept them because she obviously didn't have them when she straddled me. Weird' "it's a consent form, before you can take part in the test you have to sign this" she continued. 'if someone asks a stupid question about the forms or test I'll be slightly pissed' I thought to myself.

"Why?" Naruto asked and I sighed 'well I guess I'm slightly pissed now it's not like any one has any more stupid questions am I right'

"From here on out, there will be corpses. I have to get your consent to that or it'll be my responsibility" Anko answered with a laugh. Gaia seemed pleased with the idea if the grin was anything to go by.

"Well, I'm going to start the explanation for the second test. In a word, the limits of your survival will be challenged. First, I'll give you step-by-step instructions on the terrain of this Training Field. Training Field Number 44 is surrounded by 44 locked entrance gates, there are rivers and a forest and a tower in the middle. It's about ten kilometers from the towers to the gate. In the confined area, you will go through a certain survival program. The contents of which is…an anything- goes scroll battle!" Anko explained as she pulled to scrolls out one marked with a haven and the other with an earth. 'Okay honestly where is she keeping those? Is there anything else she's hiding?'

"I want you to fight for the two scrolls, the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll. Altogether, 26 teams got through the first test. Half of them 13 teams get the Heaven scroll, the other half get the Earth Scroll. I'll hand over one scroll to each team. To put it simply that's what you're vying for." Anko continued to explain seriously. 'Man Anko is never serious this long, I bet she is going to do something crazy to compensate for it, most likely to me.' I thought depressingly.

"And the conditions to pass?" Sasuke asked

"Three of you bring both Heaven and Earth Scrolls to the central tower." Anko answered.

"That means, of the 13 teams, half of them will definitely fail." Sakura stated.

"Furthermore, it has to be in time. For this second test, the time limit is 120 hours. Do it in exactly five days!" Anko told the consistence. Most people started freaking out 'I wasn't but that was because I already knew that.'

"What do we do about food?" Choji asked hysterically. 'Well another stupid question I guess I was wrong'

"Be self-sufficient! It's a treasure trove in the wilderness. There's more than enough food" She answered irritably. 'She's probably as annoyed if not more so than I am at these stupid questions' I contemplated. 'Time to fuck with people'

"However it's teeming with fierce man-eating animals, poison bugs, poisonous weeds and much more." I informed them still smiling, 'I love messing with people' I watch some genin argue or reason to themselves with some satisfaction.

"And, besides those injured during attempts to capture scrolls. There will definitely be people who are unable to endure the rigors of course." Anko informed the genin.

"Umm…so you can quit in the middle of it? Shikimaru asked.

"According to the rules, you cannot give up in the middle of it! I want you to spend five days in the forest." Anko said with a blood thirsty smile. 'Man what it is with me being turned on by chicks with evil smiles first Gaia and now Anko '.

"Moving on, conditions of disqualification. Number one, if all three members of the team can't make it to the tower with the Heaven and Earth Scrolls within the time limit. Number two, if a team loses a member or if a member becomes incapacitated. Those two, and this is a supplement do not look at the contents of the scrolls until you have reached the tower!" Anko said with all seriousness.

"What happens if we look at it halfway through?" Naruto asked.

"When you look at it, You'll..find..out!" Anko said with a sweet smile. 'But with my experiences those smiles are anything but'

"There are times when a Chuunin must deal with super-secret missives. This is to test your reliability." She answered. 'Honestly if you can't follow a test were they give you the answer then you're a fucking idiot.' I thought "That's it for the instructions!" Anko declared. "Exchange your three consent forms for the scrolls in that hut there. After that, pick your entrance, and all the gates will open simultaneously!" Anko instructed, and then took a deep breath. "Finally, just a word of advice…Don't Die" was the last thing she said before walking off

I sighed, and quickly signed the Consent form. Along with my team after I signed the consent form and I sat down to blend into the crowd. After a few minutes a Leaf Chuunin announced it was time for the scroll exchange. Most of the genin hopefuls stood up myself included.

For a few minutes Anko watched as several of the genin trade their consent forms. But when I approached the booth to trade the consent form she appeared behind the booth with a giant grin. "Oh fancy meeting you here Kabuto-kun" Anko said playfully.

I suppressed the upcoming sign 'I guess I'll just play along'. "Yes Anko-Chan out of all places we could have possibly met we meet here, it must destiny for us to be together" I replied jokingly.

"I know" she agreed totally missing my joking tone or ignored it.

"Anko-Chan can I have one of the scrolls" I tried to keep my voice polite as possible.

"Hmm I want something in return." Anko bartered.

I signed "Fine Anko I'll bite what do you want" I relented.

"Just one little kiss" Anko said innocently.

I looked around to see if anyone was around. I was alone with Anko I sighed again, 'well might as well enjoy it.' "Alright" as soon as I finish that word Anko's mouth claimed mine and forced her tongue into my mouth. I put my hands on her back and Anko wrapped her arms around the back of my neck to deepen the kiss. After about half a minute we ended our little make-out session.

I quickly caught my breath. I felt a weight in my hand I looked down to see a Earth Scroll and an envelope attached to it, I looked up to see Anko had left.

I inspected the envelope to see a message written on the top.

-Thanks for the kiss Kabuto-kun here is a little gift for it.

The Sexy and awesome Anko Mitarashi

P.S. don't let other people see it's just for you

I checked the area again as I hid the scroll in a seal on my wrist, seeing the area clear I opened the envelope. 'Oh my' I thought while blushing, I had several pictures of Anko in provocative clothing and tempting poses, and a note stating if I wanted the real thing all I have to do is ask. Now I'm sure I'm blushing. I put the pictures back in the envelope and put them in a secure place in my ninja pouch. I did my best to compose myself and join my team at Gate 38.

After everyone was in position the chuunin walked around unlocking the gate entrances. I noticed Anko's Voice announce over the megaphone "Well Everyone the second test of the Chuunin Exams starts now!" as soon as she said thsose words the gates opened and every genin myself included raced into the deadly forest.
