Five Days Later
A cloaked covered Team 13 trekked through the sands of the desert as they walked towards the giant gate of the Sunagakure. The gates were made of mass of stone and had two chunin guards similar to what Konoha had stationed at the gate.
"Halt; state your names and purpose for coming to the Sunagakure." one of the chunin said as Mikoto took off her hood and showed her Konoha headband.
"Mikoto Uchiha with her genin team, here for the chunin exams," she said as she handed the chunin some forms as they looked it over.
After a minute of looking the guards nodded their heads. "You're all a little late aren't you? The exams start in an hour and most of the team are either already there or are heading that way."
"We got caught up in a sand storm on the way here so we had to take cover. We should have been here yesterday afternoon but we had to bunker down for a day and let the storm pass."
The chunin both nodded in understanding since sandstorms were very common in the desert of Suna. If you got caught in one or attempted to brave it then you most likely would not make it.
"Okay well the chunin exams are taking place in the academy building on the west side of the village. You will probably see a few team head in that direction so just follow them," one of the chunin said as Mikoto and the three genin all nodded and walked on through.
Team 13 quickly made their way through the gates and headed towards their lodgings which were at the Desert Possum Hotel. Once there, they deposited their bags while Naruto, Itachi and Anko kept the things they knew they would need for these exams.
Once done, Mikoto led the trio towards the academy building on the east side. As they made their way there they spotted a few other teams from the other villages. One was a group from grass country if the headbands were anything to go by while another was from the rain.
They kept their guard just in case until after ten minutes they arrived at the academy building. Mikoto stopped at the entrance and turn to look at her team, a proud smile marring on her face.
"You all have everything you need right?" She asked as the trio nodded at her.
"Know that the three of you have made me so proud this past year and are about to do something that very few people can say they have done within the space of a year. I know the three of you are going to go on to do great things if what I have seen from the three of you is anything to go by."
"I know the three of you can go all the way in this exam but remember that in this exam not everything will be what it seems. So look underneath the underneath and pick out things that may seem little, but will end playing a big part in these exams."
Naruto, Itachi and Anko smiled towards their teacher and in Itachi case mother and bowed to her.
"Thank you for putting your faith in us Mikoto sensei/Kaa-san and thank you for helping us get to this point in our ninja careers. Without you, we probably would not have gotten this far."
Leaning down Mikoto placed a kiss on each of their foreheads, keeping her lips on Itachi's forehead a little longer then Naruto and Anko and fought to keep any tears at bay. Though she had only been their sensei for a year, she had loved every moment of having the chance to train her eldest son and his two friends.
"We promise we will do our best and honor your teachings." they said together again as Mikoto stood to the side and allowed them entry into the building.
"How them all and show the world why the three of you will one day be legends," she whispered to herself as she watched them go.
Taking a slow breath, she shunshined away and went to join the other Jonin instructors, wanting to watch as her team progressed through the exam.
With Team 13
Naruto walk in the center with Itachi on his right and Anko on his left as the trio made their way through the hallways of the academy. As they walked in a chunin proctor instructed them that they exams was on the third floor and in the room 3A.
As soon as the man had said that, the three already knew something about this exam was already fishy.
As they walked up the stairs of the academy building, once they got up the stairs they saw the room 3A in clear writing and saw a grass-nin team head into the room.
Anko thinking nothing of it at first walked forwards and went towards the door but stopped when she felt Naruto and Itachi's hand rest on her shoulders.Five Days Later
