"Hold up Anko, this is not our floor." he said making her look at him in a confused manner.
"But the door is right there. 3A," she said but by the look on their faces she guessed that was not quite the case. "What number was the room again?" he asked as Anko lazily told him it was 3A. "Right so then how many flights of stairs have we gone up so far?"
"Two…" she trailed off before her eyes widened a little as she realized what he was getting at. She turned back around and looked at the sigh which read 3A. She gazed it at is strongly for a moment before seeing the words flicker on it.
"A genjutsu…" she whispered as the others two nodded.
It caused her to groan. "Ahh I can't believe I almost fell for that." she whined as Itachi gave an amused smirk cross his face while Naruto put an arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry Anko-chan. It will happen to the best of us. That genjutsu I am guessing that is there to weed out the groups that are not ready for the exams. If they can't see through a simple genjutsu like that then it means they are not ready." Since we noticed it, it means we are ready Itachi added as they watched Anko's eyes ignite into flames as her drive to pass the exams got even stronger.
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go kick some ass!" she declared as she grabbed Naruto and Itachi's hand and began dragging them up the third flight of stair.
When they finally got to their floor, they saw the real door that they required. They narrowed their eyes on this one to see if it was a genjutsu but quickly their faces calmed, seeing it was the real one this time.
They walked together and after taking a deep breath slid the door open and went inside.
When they went in they felt a little nervous though they never showed it.
All around the room were genin teams that look a lot older than they were; many were in their teens and as they looked around saw that the oldest must have been bout sixteen.
"Great more kids," they heard one of them snort out but Naruto quickly noticed that many of them were gazing at him.
"That kid looks familiar. You don't think he is the Kiiroi Seiko's(Yellow Flash)kid do you?" Another whispered while others contemplated the idea.
"If he is then this exam has got more fun," another said showing from his head band he was from Kumo. "If he is then it must mean he is the Benihime's (Crimson Princess) son too."
Naruto breathed calmly as he, Itachi and Anko went and stood on one of the back walls.
"There are a lot of teams here," Anko muttered out as she looked over the teams before she smiled a blood curdling smile. "It just means there are more people to cut and make bleed." Both Naruto and Itachi rolled their eyes at their female team mate but figured it was good that she was at least confident. The two of them were confident but they knew not to get to over confident since getting cocky can easily lead to some one getting killed.
Deciding to scope out the other teams Naruto examined the other team looking for any weaknesses he thought they might have as well looking to see what nation they came from.
The first he noticed that a lot was from the minor nation like Grass, Rain and even Bird country. Since they were smaller in size Naruto guessed they needed more chunin level shinobi.
There was about two from Kumo that kept sneaking glances towards him, but he also noticed there were no teams from Kiri. But he already knew why though.
It was quickly known through Konoha that a civil war had erupted in the Hidden Mist village and currently the Mizukage who was known as Yagura was at war with rebel forces that wanted him gone.
From what Hiruzen had told him it was due to Yagura wanting the bloodline eradicated and he saw them as a threat. Naruto quickly figured that Yagura was not a man that should be left to be in charge of an entire village.
Looking over the team once more, he was about to look away having seen all the teams before his eyes locked in on a team that was on the other side of the room and leaning against the opposite wall.
He knew immediately from their head bands they were from Iwa and they looked like an interesting trio. He also seemed interested in them since by the look of them they must have been the same age as Naruto, Itachi and Anko was.
The first one he noticed was the biggest of them who was easily the size of a middle aged teen and was quite chubby. He wore standard red Iwa clothing and his as for his feature he had a very large round nose that stuck out like a sore thumb. Though the boy had a very happy go lucky expression on his face indicating he must have been quite innocent and childlike.
The other was the second male member who for some reason just gave Naruto a bad feeling. He had long straw blond hair that covered part of his left eye and wore clothes similar to Itachi which were dark blue in color. His hand kept playing around with some white clay and looked like he was molding it into shapes.
