The morning before the final test!

After the streneous day and the prolonged exertion yesterday, Team 7 plus Kin slept well. So well in fact that they very nearly overslept. The sun was already high when there was a knock on the door, finally waking them up somewhat.

In came Kurenai-sensei. She smiled as she saw the huddle on the combined beds and had a pretty good idea of what went down here yesterday. "Good morning, you three...", she called out loudly, getting her students to finally stir.

However, as the bodies on the bed started moving, Kurenai counted four. One with short blonde hair, one with long blonde hair, one with short pink hair and one on top of Naruto. "... or four, I see.", she corrected herself, amused at the sight of three dishevelled ladies in Narutos arms.

Opening his eyes sleepily, Naruto recognized the form of Kurenai, who stood at the foot of his bed with her arms crossed and a bemused smile. "Good morning, Kurenai-sensei.", Naruto greeted his teacher, but immediately yawned loudly.

Kurenai shook her head a bit. While she was glad to see that her team was not too afraid of what was coming to lose their heads over it, maybe they were right to worry at least a bit. "I hope you didn't expend too much energy yesterday, but planning ahead is also something Chunnins have to possess.", she sighed as her team slowly came to and got dressed. "In any case, I have come for you, Kin-chan.", she said suddenly.

Everyone but Kin gasped. Only the sound girl looked insecure and didn't move from her spot at Narutos side. "M-me?", the girl asked, suddenly fearful again.

Kurenai nodded. "Yes. I spoke with the Hokage yesterday, and he wishes to speak to you in private before any further decision is made. However, since he now has to oversee the next stage of the exam, I have to ask you to come with me.", she told her.

Naruto, seeing how worried Kin was, knew that he had to do something to calm her down. "Don't worry, Kin-chan. You can trust Kurenai-sensei.", Naruto told Kin. The girl looked undecided for a moment, but then decided to trust Naruto. Kin nodded and got dressed quickly.

As she approached the woman, Kin looked at her again, still uncertain whether or not this was a good idea. "W-What will you do to me?", she asked.

Smiling warmly, Team 7's sensei looked at the girl. "Don't worry, I will just place you in the care of a few ANBU until the Hokage and me can meet up with you.", Kurenai explained, her voice warm and gentle. Kin nodded solemnly and followed Kurenai's lead.

Before Kurenai closed the door behind her. "You other should get ready soon. You have to be in the lobby in two hours, or you'll be automatically disqualified for not showing up in time. I'll see you then, so don't be late."

Team 7, still groggy after the night, decided to take a shower first before anything else. As the girls took a moment to even get fully awake, it was Naruto who first entered the bathroom. Not having any clothes on to take off in the first place, he stepped right into the rather spacious shower and turned it on.

Yes, the feeling of warm water running down his body was the best after a short night. He had only enjoyed the water for a moment as the door opened and Naruto heard a sultry voice calling out to him. "Naruto-kun..."

He turned and saw both Ino and Sakura standing before him, nude as the day they were born, a sly smile on their faces. "We thought we'd join you in the shower. You don't mind, do you?", Ino asked.

With the naked bodies of Ino and Sakura in front of him, there was no way he could refuse. He loved them and he was happy that, even after seeing them naked this many times already, he still wasn't even beginning to get the feeling he had seen enough.

Taking his rapidly hardening cock as confirmation, the two girls smiled and stepped underneath the shower next to their boyfriend. What followed was probably the best shower ever for Naruto. He had his two girlfriends soaping his body (and their own) while giggling all the while. They didn't jerk him off, so in that regard, it was an innocent shower.

But still, seeing Ino and Sakura soaping each others body was a sight that intrigued him and he remembered yesterday. And how Ino and Sakura had vanished for quite some time in the bathroom. "You know, I wonder what you did here yesterday. You took some time for just a simple shower...", Naruto mumbled so the two girls could hear him over the noise of the running shower.

Maybe he was seeing things, but it appeared as if both girls blushed furiously as they remembered their last shower. Both girls were now leaning against him, enjoying the water running down their bodies. Maybe that was why they were so flushed? "Oh, you wanna know? You perv...", Ino said, slapping Narutos chest playfully.

Sakura smiled. Know she knew how they could entice Naruto even further. "Maybe we'll tell you later... or we could show you sometime...", she offered and rubbed Inos arm a bit, but that was all Naruto got to see. Naturally, Sakuras intent to get him hot and bothered about this hadn't failed. But for now, Naruto was apparently stuck with just showering. The girls would keep their secret a bit longer...

While the three of them were clean shortly after, Naruto was rather unwilling to end this shower already. Naruto felt adventurous. And he had set his sights on Ino, who seemed especially lively today. But he wanted to try something new with her and see how she would react. So, while he rubbed both their butts, he began prodding Inos puckered hole with his index finger.

Ino gasped silently, her eyes wide in surprise. She was completely taken off guard, but she made no attempts to stop Naruto. Encouraged by this, her boyfriend began to slowly slip his finger inside Ino.

At first, the first knuckle vanished. Then the second. And before he knew it, Naruto had stuck his entire index finger into his blodne girlfriend. Inos eyes were scrunched shut. It seemed that while the intrusion was unusual, she did her best to get comfortable with it.

While Sakura was also pressed against Naruto, she noticed how Ino was practically leaning against him. In wonder, she turned her hand and saw Narutos hand moving between Inos buttcheeks. It didn't take her long to figure out what had happened. "Wow, no objections, Ino-pig?", she asked the blonde teasingly.

Ino didn't react to the teasing insult (they were more like affectionate nicknames between them now anyway) as she was too caught up by the feeling of Narutos finger in her ass. "N-not really... after all, I love Naruto-kun, so it's okay.", she finally answered.

Sakura smiled like a cheshire cat. Naruto could tell that a devious idea had just popped into the pinkette's head. "Oh, really? Then, would you let me do this, too?", Sakura asked slyly. But before Ino could even answer, Sakura had stepped behind Ino, effectively trapping the blonde between her teammates.

Not wanting to be left out when it came to introducing Ino to getting stuff introduced to her butt, Sakura also gently worked a finger into Inos asshole. Careful to not hurt her, Sakura was surprised to see that while Ino was involuntarily clenching down on her and Narutos finger, it was pretty easy for her to slide it in along with Naruto. "S-Sakura!", Ino gasped as she felt yet another digit enter her ass.

Narutos and Sakuras finger squirmed around inside her, stretching her walls, sending Ino into a frenzy at this completely new feeling. She still wasn't sure what to think of it, but the thought of Naruto and Sakura doing this with her, toying with her like that was so arousing that Ino couldn't help but moan a bit. But Ino wasn't the only one who got some pleasure out of this...

Narutos cock was now rock hard again and pressed against Inos stomach. Sakura noticed this and figured that he just couldn't fight today without relieving himself at least once before that.

Thus, she grabbed the cock of her new boyfriend with ehr free hand and stroked it softly. She leaned in closer to Naruto, hearing him moan as she jerked his dick and whispered to him "Why don't you put it inside her, Naruto? See, I think she needs your cum inside you, too. After all, she didn't get any yesterday.". Gently, she directed Narutos dick to Inos pussy, and of course, the blonde ninja couldn't resist now that he had been so aroused by the scene.

Ino, noticing the throbbing cock that wanted access to her, spread her legs a bit further and wrapped her arms around Naruto, now holding onto him tightly. Like this, Naruto found it easy to thrust inside Inos center and to his surprise, she was wet enough to let him slide in fluidly.

With a low Ino wrapped her legs around Narutos hips in lust, taking his cock even deeper inside her, right to the entrance to her womb. Naruto, while still remembering Kurenais words, noticed how his concentration and endurance has already increased. But now, even though he wanted to last longer, the sensations where overwhelming. He only felt Inos pussy around his cock, but she also experienced the feeling of his and Sakuras finger moving in her ass, only seperated by a thin layer of flesh inside Ino.

Underneath the still running shower, Naruto began to slowly fuck Ino. His hands grasped her butt firmly, holding her up in his embrace while he still worked a finger inside her. Sakuras free hand was now actively groping Inos breasts, causing the blonde girl to yelp in lust at every move on and inside her body. She had never felt anything this intense before...

Naruto enjoyed the sight of of his girlfriend, wet in every conceivable way, hanging onto him while bouncing on his cock and getting her ass fingered by himself and their teammate. Aside from the sight, the feeling was pure bliss, and so it took Naruto just a few minutes after he had begun pumping inside Ino at full speed to thrust into her one last time. At that very moment, Ino let out an orgasmic yell unlike any before.

Naruto thought his cock and his finger would be ripped off, so hard was Inos orgasm as her holes clenched down on whatever was inside them. But that only served to make Naruto release even more cum as he was in fact milked by Ino for it. All of his cum that squirted out was quickly washed away by the running water, but some of it remained inside Ino.

Finally, he could withdraw himself from her and while Ino was let down on her own feet, it was a good thing she was in between Naruto and Sakura, because otherwise she would've just fallen down. Her legs were still shaking from her orgasm, and it took her a few moments to even regain a steady breath. "Now... now I'm ready to take down whatever stands in my way to become a Chunnin!", Ino said in between gasps, her confidence skyrocketing after this, After Ino had finally calmed down, the three decided that it was best to stop this now.

Team 7 finally got dressed with just about ten minutes to spare. Since they had so little time, their breakfast consisted of just soldier pills. Although the girls were also a bit disappointed about this, they knew that real, good food would wait for them after they passed this exam.

So, the team left the room and made their way towards the lobby. However, as they went down the stairway, they heard voices. Familiar voices who seemed to be arguing.

"What do you mean, you don't know where she is?!", a clearly female voice demanded to know in a rough tone. Apparently, she was rather agitated.

"It's just as I said, Tayuya. We were attacked and she got left behind.", the voice of a boy said. Ino and Sakura recognized it. It was the boy who had grabbed Sakuras hair, one of the sound-nins that attacked them. Zaku.

"You have got to be joking! What are you, wimps? How could you even leave her behind!", the female voice cried out in frustration. "Nevermind that, who attacked you?"

"Leaf ninjas.", was the simple answer. It came from the monotone voice of the ninja with bandaged face. Dosu.

By now, Team 7 had snuck close enough to see them, standing near the stairway on the first floor of the building. Right on the way they had to take to get to the lobby. There were three people. Zaku and Dosu, they knew. But now, there was a female, probably two to three years older than themself. Red hair and a very pissed expression on her face. And she turned and spotted them. "I see...", she said simply and approached Team 7.

While Sakura and Ino shuffled behind Naruto, the boy couldn't do anything but hold his ground as the girl approached him. She got so close that Naruto could easily tell that, despite the anger written all over her face, she was quite pretty. But, that didn't matter as she screamed at them, while Zaku and Dosu just left the scene.

"So, you fuckers know about my friend, yeah? Did you kill her? DID YOU!?", she screamed. While Naruto was dumbfounded, he thought he had an idea what the girl was talking about. Unfortunately, before he could try and defuse the situation, Tayuya went on.

"Listen up here, you shitheads! I will get my **** for my friend and I will make you pay!", the redhead growled. And while Team 7 was still completely unaware of what was really going on, Tayuya had already clenched her fist and was about to attack Naruto, who stood closest to her.

However, she was held back by the timely arrival of Temari, who had descended the staircase and was behind them. "I don't think you should start a fight in here. This place is swarming with ANBU, you won't get the chance to throw a second punch.", the blonde Suna-nin said calmly, although a hint of dangerousness was still within her voice.

Tayuya looked from Temari to Naruto and back to Temari before she relaxed her fist. She must've realized that a fight here would probably really don't do her any good. "Smartass bitch! Fine, but you can damn well count on it that I will not forget this!", she promised before storming off in the direction of the lobby.

Team 7 let out a collective sigh. "Thanks, Temari-chan. You saved us some trouble there...", Naruto thanked the blonde girl who had really helped them out with the angry girl.

Temari just shrugged her shoulders. "Don't mention it.", she responded.

Naruto noticed that she was alone. She had her fan strapped onto her back, but she was alone. So, he just had to ask. "Where are your brothers?"

Temari looked at him, surprised. It seemed Naruto had snapped her out of a deep thought of some sorts. "Hmm? Oh, they're already waiting for me down there. By the way, shouldn't you guys get going, too?", she mentioned off-handedly.

Ino and Sakura looked at each other and then made a dash down the remaining few steps and towards the lobby, while Temari and Naruto followed behind, slowly.

Temari yawned. Naruto wondered. Was she tired? What had she been doing tonight? "I didn't get too much sleep yesterday. Do me a favor, if we ever happen to be in neighboring rooms, don't fuck around with your girlfriends that much...", she explained calmly.

Naruto gasped. She had heard? Crap, she was going to kill him for sure!

"Although, I'm curious to see if your stamina is for real...", Temari said with a dangerous smile. Narutos mouth was agape, but before he could even try to respond, Temari was ahead of him and around the corner that led to the lobby.

At the lobby, Naruto noticed a large gate had been opened, leading to a huge room. He entered it and gasped. It was a well-lit room with green tiles on the floor. In the background, there was a huge statue of two hands forming the Tiger-seal and a few monitors.

Everyone was here. Tenten and Hinata with their teams, as well as Sasuke, who still looked somewhat shaken but otherwise seemed to be okay. There were the Sand Sibilings, with the scary redhead. Then there were the sound teams, with the other scary redhead, who glared at everyone who had a Leaf-headband.

As he stared at the team from Kirigakure, Haku must've noticed his glare and turned to wave at him discreetly, still with that scary smile on her face. Naruto sweatdropped. Maybe this woudl turn out to be pretty dangerous. Well, at least she did not attack him right here in front of everybody.

Seeing Ino and Sakura already having taken their place, Naruto soon joined them as a ninja with a bandana wrapped around his head and noticeable bags under his eyes stood in front of the assembled Genin. Behind him were Jounin, among them Kurenai-sensei. Naruto guessed that the others were also the sensei of the other present teams. And then, there stood the Third Hokage, watching over the exam quietly.

The Special Jounin coughed a few times before reciting his speech. "In this round, you will participate in one-on-one-matches. Your performance in the final round will be judged. We will decide then which participant has the potential to become a Chunnin. The outcome of the match is only secondary!", he explained.

"So, even if we win, it's not guaranteed we will become Chunnin.", Shikamaru muttered next to Naruto, before sighing his "... troublesome...".

The Special Jounin continued. "The exam is held in one month from now in the big stadium in Konoha. However, as it is now, there are too many of you though. So, we will commence a preliminary round to that final part of the exam. I'll remind you: Now is your chance, if you have any doubts about your abilties. If you don't feel up to it, you may withdraw from this round.", he announced.

There was a moment of silence. Naruto looked around, curious to see if anyone was that stupid to get this far and then chicken out. As he looked around, he indeed saw one raised hand. It belonged to one of Hakus teammates.

His teammate laughed at him. "You're such a wuss!", he chuckled as he obviously couldn't believe he would do this.

His teammate however looked somewhat pale and nervous. "But I really don't even want to risk being matched with Haku. I really don't, dude....", he told him. He really had a point there...

"C-c'mon, what are the odds of that happening...", the other replied, although he couldn't hide his nervousness. Naruto could feel with him, the prospect of fighting Haku here was not a good thought.

Acknowledging his withdrawal, the Special Jounin motioned for the boy to stand aside as he counted the Genin present now. "Alright, so this leaves us with 22 contestants.", the Jounin summed up. He turned to face the Hokage. "12 from Konoha, 5 from Otogakure, 3 from Sunagakure and 2 from Kirigakure.", he told the old man, obviously not without some pride that there were so many Konoha-nin who had made it through the forest.

Turning back to the crowd, the man coughed a bit again before speaking up once more. "However, those are still too many, So, we will have a preliminary round before the final round in one month. Those will also be one-on-one duels. Opponents will be chosen at random. This round will be starting immediately. So, please retreat to the platforms to the right and the left and wait until it is your turn to enter the fighting ground below.", he said, motioning towards two seperate platforms on the left and right wall of the room.

Here, the groups splitted. While all the Leaf-nin went to one platform, the teams from Oto, Kiri and Suna went to the other, with every sensei following their respective team.

While Hinata, Chouji and Shino walked right up to a broad, dark-haired men with a moustache and a cigarrette in his mouth, Shikamaru, Kiba and Sasuke walked to an entirely different sensei. He was also tall, but had silver hair and his face was obscured with a mask. Also, one of his eyes was covered up by his forehead-protector. On top of that, he read a book with the title 'Make-out paradise'. 'What a weirdo...', Naruto thought.

But, he, as everyone else, was drawn to look at the monitor over the statue of a hand as the names of everyone present flickered across the stream. The atmosphere tensed up, because everyone realized that the first fight was just about to begin...
