*Author's Note*

Sorry for the short chapter in advance. The next one is going to be a very big one.

(Third PoV) 

"So, we have to get one Earth scroll."

As Team 7 entered the Forest of Death, they started discussing their strategy.

"We have four teams we can target, but three of them are from Konoha, and one from Suna. Everyone else will most likely target them as well.

So even if Suna team doesn't have the scroll that we want, the others will be nearby."

Sasuke started the discussion. 

"I think we should just go to the tower directly and wait there. I will lay a trap. Since we have limited teams, it would be the best to just fight anyone on the way. If they have the opposite scroll, then good. And if they have the same scroll as us, we can just let them go."

Naruto stated his opinion.

Then, Sasuke and Naruto looked at Hinata, who didn't really have any strategy. 

"I think what Naruto-kun said is the best option."

"Then off we go! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu: Flying Stream!"

Naruto made a thousand Shadow clone, grabbed Sasuke and Hinata and put them on his shoulders like sacks of potatoes, climbed on the top of a pyramid of clones, and gave them the go-ahead signal.

"What are you doing! NARUTO!"

Sasuke screamed, Hinata cried, Naruto laughed. 

"Hahaha! We will go by the fastest way! By flying!"

Using wind chakra, him and several clones were launched in projectile. Naruto made sure to apply the projectile distance formula to determine the angle of projection and force required to make sure that they will land in the desired distance.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Sasuke screamed. 

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!"

Hinata cried. 

"Hahahahahaha!"

Naruto laughed. 

"Idiot! A tree is in the way!"

Sasuke shouted. 

"Then remove the tree!"

Naruto grinned, and his clones cut the trees and every obstacle with Wind Style: Wind Cutter.

Suddenly, a wall of Sand stood in their way.

"Out of way, Panda boy! I will fight you in the third exam!"

Naruto didn't want to eliminate the jinchuriki like him this early.

Dozens of Naruto clones blew away the sand wall and the sand team with Wind Style: Great Breakthrough which turned from C-rank to S-rank due to sheer number of clones and the chakra put into the jutsu.

"We are almost there!"

"Kukuku, you aren't."

Suddenly, snakes from a nearby tree extended, and wrapped themselves around Naruto's neck. 

His clones cut them off quickly, but Naruto got slightly injured due to the sheer suddenness of the attack.

They started falling, but managed to stick themselves on a tree and safely landed on the ground.

"*Cough!* *Cough!* Who the hell are you!?"

Naruto shouted as he coughed while trying to ease the pain in his neck. 

Slowly, from the darkness of the dense vegetation, a person came out.

Team 7 was shocked, and scared even. Hinata automatically activated Byakugan, Naruto deactivated the clones and formed Rasengan on one hand while a kunai with Wind Chakra coating on the other.

But the most affected was Sasuke.

"I-Izumi?"
